Katsuichi vs Inazuma?

[Ronin-K]

We all know that Inazuma was the best swordsperson in UY before she died (may she rest in peace). We also know that Katsuichi is a master swordsman who has been called "invincible". Who would win an epic duel between these two incredible swords-people? I say Katsu would win, because he is a master of his own techniques and is much older and wiser.

I never thought of such a duel. I could not give an opinion.

[Ronin-K]

I think Katsuichi's best technique (which he taught to Usagi) is where he cuts his opponent and stands there, then they turn around and run at him, but die from the wound before they can get him from behind. Inazuma currently has no votes. Katsu is winning!

I'd have to give it to Katsuichi. Inazuma has amazing natural talent, yes, but I'm sure Katsu had some natural talent, too, since it was said that he was one of the more delinquent students while his colleagues heavily practiced the sword to keep up with him. And on top of that, Katsu has more strenuous training and meditation, which really should help.

I look at this the same way I look at Usagi/Tomoe; Tomoe probably has more natural talent, from what we've seen on her younger years (she even beat Usagi as a kid), but Usagi has probably just learned a lot more throughout all his journeys.

Like Usagi/Tomoe, though, a fight could still go either way. The gods will more likely favor Katsuichi, though.

I'm giving it to Inazuma.

Me, too-- first of all, she'd be younger and have him there-- plus I like to think that a female could be that skillful.



Plus, I just like to mess with the polls.

I only picked Inazuma because Stan said she was the most skilled swordsperson in his Feudal Japan. Of course, Katsuichi was taught his secrets by a Tengu (or so the rumor has it), so who knows...nobody can defeat a Tengu, and if Katsu did...perhaps his younger self would prove more than a match for Inazuma.

I do want to point out that Usagi had early on defeated his sensei in practice duels...so we know the two are roughly evenly matched.

Katsuichi would win.
I'm sure
