Season 35, Week 1
Isabel
(Suikoden 5)
 
A talking, tattooed, red, cat... dog... thing. Isabel would like to say that Nanaki's the weirdest thing she's ever seen, but she's allies with Ernst of Beast Rune fame. Anyway, while the Maximillian knight would have preferred to face one of the league's many villains for her debut match, it wouldn't do to deny a fellow hero a quick, honorable duel at his request. Emphasis on quick, since if there's one thing Isabel and her blade are good at, it's taking opponents out in one or two swipes. Red XIII/Nanaki, on the other hand, will be hard pressed to dent the thick, fire-immuning, heavy armor she wears, even if he somehow manages to access his surprisingly underwhelming Limit Break. Oh well, maybe she'll get to smite some evil next round...

After a rather long break from the action, Nanaki returns to try his paw at getting a middle championship once again. The Maximillian Knight Isabel that Nanaki faces first seems to have an advantage due to her fire resistance, but all that really means is that Nanaki doesn’t have to spend any of his precious MP to attack, being able to save it all up to power his Limited Moon comb, which will put a nasty dent in even a knight’s defenses. With his superior speed and strong offense, all he has to do is keep attacking, and then call on one of his many useful limits to finish things up. Whether he uses his Lunatic High to widen the speed gap even more and boost his evasion, or the heavy damage of a Stardust Ray, Nanaki has got this fight well under control.


Monkeyfinger
Well, when a match between a strong, beautiful young redhead and a vigorous dog is booked, it goes without saying what sort of crowd is going to be drawn to it. Especially after the spectacle that was Seraphita vs. Gau.

And so, Isabel and Mathias both laughed excitedly as they waded through the band of sick, evil perverts lead by Zidane, Sten, and all those usual suspects, slashing with their swords, casting their spells, and all around having a great time ridding the duelling league of its more twisted, fetishist residents.

Nanaki, having won by ringout before Isabel even gave him a look, lazily kicked around a soccer ball while watching his would be opponent work. "Just like Costa Del Sol, only with some actual amusement to watch..." he mused to himself.
