Season 35, Week 3
Zeromus
(Final Fantasy IV)
 
It's good to be evil this season. Puny heroes can't stand against Zeromus, ultimate being of darkness. It makes perfect sense that Zeromus skip all the heroes and instead tests himself against a fellow being of pure evil. A battle of supemacy for the title of biggest and baddest evil? This is something Zeromus can get behind. With gobs of HP and a massive advantage in speed, he has all that he needs to take down the Darkness. Even worse, Zeromus counters PD's trademark Megid attack with Holy. What a slaughter this will be. Bwhahahahaha!

Zeromus is kind of good at killing PCs. He can hit them with Big Bang which causes that really awful Virus ailment that sucks out HP per tick and, unlike Poison, is very hard to get rid of. He can use Meteo. He's immune to status attacks. He's pretty ugly, too.

The Profound Darkness is very good at killing PCs. He/She/It can hit with attacks that really rip into the good guys, including Megid and even a /holy elemental/ attack. He/She/It... uhhm... well... starts off pretty ugly... gets uglier... and then turns into Standard Anime Evil Force (Feminine). He/She/It is immune to status attacks.

Zeromus lives in a big hole in the ground on the moon and whose truly evil act was to be up far past his bedtime and making people hear voices. The Profound Darkness can be found but can't be said to reside in a metaphorical space between this world and another that manifests itself as a big hole in the ground since its presence in this reality would cause an end to all things, and once every thousand years sends a being of the pure perverted essence of ugly anime evil into the world to usually quite successfully wreak catastrophe.

One is /technically/ impossible to kill and is sort of the antithesis of all life in this world. It takes a sword whetted on the power of its weaker forms that also possesses the souls of generations of past heroes to /seal/.

The other is proto-Kefka (full of HATEHATEHATEHATEHATE!) that can be beaten by jewelry being held up by a guy with white hair and an inferiority complex.

The Profound Darkness wins on three counts. One: It's just tougher than Zeromus. Most final bosses are tougher than Final Fantasy final bosses. Two: It's got a holy attack, which Zeromus is weak against, with no balancing attack that Zeromus can use.

And three: Zeromus is basically a miniature Profound Darkness without the glowing neon hair or the girlish figure. You could probably make the argument that Zeromus, in becoming a being of pure hatred, basically became a tiny part of The Profound Darkness, which is, as I have been saying, the antithesis of all life and bears a hatred for everything so strong that all other forms of hatred are like mild distaste in comparison. Zeromus wants to be like The Profound Darkness when he grows up.

Zeromus: 27
Profound Darkness: 55

Um, Zeromus will counter Megid by casting *Weak*, not Holy. The latter would actually be useful here.

Weak, incidentally, is a proper description of both Zeromus' capabilities as a Godlike and his chances of winning this match.
