Beowulf > Boyd
Usually, it's hard to argue with an axe to the face, as DL canon dictates. And Boyd, well aware of this fact, swept his way into Middle finals this season thanks to his trusty silver hatchets.
However, as a chicken'd Boyd tried to uselessly flail against Beowulf, the mystical knight just went ahead and plucked his feathers one by one. The threat of deep-frying a Greil poultry merc for a charity dinner was enough for the judges to give Beo the match, anyhow.
Lesson learned is that it's hard to argue with an axe to the face, but arguing against fowl abuse can be even harder.
