Season 23, Week 2
Shady Thousand
(Wild Arms 3)
 
Everyone's favorite flying feline has returned. He had to, you see - after another failed campaign from Alfred Schroedinger (losing to Evil Gaia?!) someone had to set a good example for the kid (and never you mind Shady's own 0-1 record). And Shady may be able to do just that, given that his opponent is Laguna Loire, former journalist and hack politician. Laguna's from a cast that relies on its Limits for damage, and he has one of the weakest. The cat looks primed for a win as long as Laguna doesn't take the fight into a tight, enclosed space. And when's the last time anyone called Laguna smart?

Laguna Loire may not be an esteemed dueller, or even particularly good in his own division. He might be a little bit of a pansy and be a little bit too feminine for his own good...and his team's. But come on. He’s fighting an evil, claustrophobic, flying cat. this isn't going to take any great masculine display. Laguna is just going to pull out his big-ass machine gun and turn this kitty into a little pile of gore and fur, especially if he happens to get his limit off. It’s a task easy enough even for the ditzy journalist/president to handle, and he can handle it with a minimum of planning - even by his famously low standards.

Shady simply didn't feel like fighting much, and so, used his plot powers and lost by default.

What plot powers?

THE POWERS OF QUANTUM MECHANICS.

Specifically, the fact that all events are theoretically possible.

And this is how Laguna spontainiously turned into a porcupine encased in ice upon entering the arena.

I'll bet it sent chills down his spines.
