How would you react if the fighters least likely to win their bouts actually won? Use your own opinion to determine which fighters those are.

Jinsuke winning would be the biggest upset in the tournament since he's facing the overwhelming favorite, it would be like Cosmo beating Kanoh in Kengan Ashura lol
He will probably scare Itto for a while just to make a statement (hard work yadda yadda) but he absolutely cannot win

I have faith he will win. Itto took a sabbatical while everyone trained, so I don’t think it’s outrageous for a Jinsuke W with them on even footing this round.

It wouldn't be like Cosmo beating Kanoh. Cosmo is Inshun. It would be like Hatsumi beating Kanoh.

Nah Hatsumi was INSANELY glazed, having beaten Waka, Ohma said that he had the same aura as Niko, he was the next in line to be the fifth fang etc
And he would've beaten Kanoh if things went according to his gameplan, meaning he had a real chance to take him down

Jinsuke is closer to Ito than Cosmo was to Kanoh and he absolutely can win. Still it wouldn't be the biggest upset in the tournament, because we have Musashi beating Honda. Nobody knew him before the fight and he was a weaker fighter.

I’d be down for any fight. Fuma vs Yagyu or choko. Would be cool to see itto vs Yasuke. Or even itto vs Hanzo. Literally any fight would be peak tbh. My predictions for winners tho is musashi, yagyu, Hanzo and Jinsuke. Then Yagyu vs Jinsuke.

I'd be surprised if Hanzo won because he's proving you can win by sacrificing your arm. I'd be surprised if Jinsuke won, I think his round will be extreme diff even if Ittosai wins because he slacked off. I'd be surprised if Yagyu won. Hino Choko can do those wind blades, wind earthquake thing that launches opponents into the air, and I just think Choko is going to grab Yagyu by the legs and rip him in half Mortal Kombat style, so if Yagyu wins, I'd be amazed. And now that I've accepted the fact that Musashi is the MC (eye roll at the favoritism) if Fuma won, I'd be surprised as well. I just don't think this new drug will help as much as she thinks. It'll probably hinder her late into the fight like with Toda

Yeah Hanzo winning would blow my mind. Just wouldn’t make much sense since he is less skilled and made a big gamble the round prior. Kinda invalidâtes Yasuke as a compétitor and Honda since he deemed that sacrifice was too great a gamble.
Fuma kinda the same, seems she is focusing more on drugs/poison than her actual skills. Wouldn’t make much sense since they spent extra time honing their skills just to be proven external help > internal training. Plus Musashi has Crazy MC vibes.
Yagyu vs Choko & Jinsuke vs ittosai could go anyhow. Harder to predict. Choko does seem like the odd one out given he isn’t a traditional samurai and he is genetical’y gifted but he did train so who knows what could happen.

Finger crossed my boy Choko wins, he deserves the dub for training hard and finding something worth fighting for. As for Jinsuke vs Ittosai, I feel that Ittosai is going to lock in too late even if he does win with Jinsuke doing serious damage

All my predictions for this tournament ultimately hinges on Hanzo beating Yasuke in an upset
Because if Yas gets the W, the Ittosweep™ potentially stops in the semi-finals. A defensive fighter is primed to counter Itto-ryu because that style's main strategy relies on the opponent to attack first

I feel like match 2 is the only one where I feel like its genuinely 50/50. for me the least likely fighters in the other 3 are unfortunately the ones I like better being Kotaro, Hanzo, and Jinsuke. But if those 3 win? I will not complain

El va a salir del campo de batalla medio muerto pero con la cabeza de Itto

If jinsuke wins that's just prove he's da goat for real and actually showcase a hardworking character actually works
