Horseman of Procrastination

These photos are mostly just to give an idea of what I'm talking about. I don't think what I have come up with will likely look exactly the same as these, especially since on the Ground things can look a little bit rough even if taken care of properly by the respective Giver. The tiara especially wouldn't look that fancy, probably more like a cheap one, but like I said, these are mostly just to give an idea.

For a set of paracord bracelets, they could basically be like Jabber Wonger's Mankira, while for a singular one it would be more like say Enjin's Umbreaker. The main idea is more settled on a set of paracord bracelets, with them shapeshifting into bracers that allow the Giver to zip around the fields and/or grab enemies, think the Wire Snatch ability of Nero's Devil Breakers in DMC 5. Just that part of it though, nothing more, nothing less. In part because I like fisticuff brawlers and because while I think taking inspiration is fine, I don't want to copy the whole thing... Hmm, maybe some time down the line I'll try coming up with if Devil May Cry characters were in Gachiakuta and had Vital Instruments...

For the tie-dye tunic, it could just be just one thing, though sorta with a set of powers. Basically, two halves of one larger power. The tunic would allow their Giver to transform into other people and the tunic to transform into other clothes. Each half of the power can be used separately if the Giver wanted to. Say they could look like Rudo wearing a different outfit or look like their original form wearing say the outfit of a Cleaner or a Raider. I came up with this because I like shapeshifters in various media and think they are generally pretty cool. I also felt that if Fire Force could have a character that can alter appearances to look like others, then a shapeshifter in Gachiakuta is not that crazy. Different manga I know, but if a manga about various forms of pyrokinesis could do that, then a manga about magic special artifacts could likely get away with it.

For the tiara, it could be just one thing with one power. What I am thinking is basically the power of Molly Hayes from Marvel's Runaways. Super strength and nigh invulnerability but I'm thinking that instead of being a power that is just turned on & off, the tiara's version of the power would be proportional to the Giver's will power & ambition... Now that I say that, I guess it's basically like Haki from One Piece as well. At the very least a bit like Armament Haki.

I will admit that it has been a long while since I last read a book featuring either Sentry or Superboy-Prime. I know both have some crazy feats, the latter a bit more often than the former. That does not mean that I don't expect there to some way of scaling the former to comparable enough levels. I'm expecting Superboy-Prime to win, but hoping Sentry at least does some amount of damage.

Of course, with this being a Death Battle post, I want to go into my own idea for a potential matchup. Just a singular one this time though! It's more than likely a bit out of left field, but I still think it could be interesting nonetheless... Knuckleduster Vs Vi!

I know I've made some Arcane/League of Legends matchups before. I bet more than a few people see them as only surface level and/or not really thought out, and I don't blame them. Just think about it though!

Two hard-headed & tough-as-hell brawlers whose paths in life would go on to take a turn they never foresaw! Knuckleduster, an ex-Pro Hero who had his quirk stolen and would go on to become a vigilante on the other side of the law! Vi, a low-class ruffian who would get thrown into jail at a young age and go on to become one of Piltover's Enforcers! To me, the two almost feel like they were made to kick ass together while also beating the shit out of each other!

YUNA: I think her partner could be Valefor. Together they could be of the Ventus Attribute. It just makes the most sense to me that one of the first summons we see in FFX is the one that Yuna gets as her Bakugan partner in this AU, especially since if I remember correctly, it is Valefor that Yuna summons upon her escape from Seymour.

GARNET TIL ALEXANDROS: I think her partner could be Alexander. Together they could be of the Haos Attribute. It's in part because I like Alexander and another part of how I think just the Holy Eidolon just fits as a Haos Bakugan. Alternatively, if you want to go with an actual playable summon from the game and not one used in only a cutscene, we could maybe go with Ark and have that as a Darkus Bakugan.

RYDIA OF MIST: I think her partner could be the Mist Dragon. Together they could be of the Darkus or Haos Attribute. Despite being third on the list here, she is the last one I am typing about. Anyways! This is one where I feel like Darkus or Haos works either way, depending on which element you wish to associate mist as an idea with, I think. A dark misty night or a bright misty day.

CLIVE ROSFIELD: I think his partner could be Ifrit. Together they could be of the Pyrus Attribute. Who else would you easily give Pyrus? Clive & Ifrit just fit so much I might as well have them be the ones to be the Pyrus duo of this AU team.

NOCTIS LUCIS CAELUM: I think his partner could be Shiva. Together they could be of the Aquas Attribute. I know Noctis has multiple summons but decided to go with the one that stood out to me and one of the Attributes that had an open slot. Also, ice and water are basically the same element in two different states of being depending on how you look at it.

OERBA DIA VANILLE: I think her partner could be Hecatoncheir. Together they could be of the Subterra Attribute. They are the ones I know probably the least about here, as I have not played FF13 for myself and I have yet to watch a full playthrough on YouTube. I have watched a review here and there but those don't always go into the story. If you feel the need to inform me anything, go right ahead.
