@Maggsy97 No Akira Toriyuma did. Notice how similiar the character designs are. Chrono looks like Goku, Gohan, and Goten. While Magus looks like Supreme Kai and Dabura
Imagine it's 1996 and you're 11 years old. If you had a walkman that played tapes you were ahead of the tech curve. No one in school even had a CD player.
It's Friday night after a week of school and you're fighting Magus on your old ass square TV and the internet is just a thing your older brother does to use mIRC.
Now throw this song into a young mind that was not spoiled by the internet and you will understand how life changingly terrifying this song is.
@AverruncusFate to me he was quite simple, the only problem was when he used "fire barrier" because i was whith Crono, Frog and Robo in the party, 2 healing chars but only lightning and water magic
Magus have been defeated will things turn for crono and his friends find out on next exciting episode of Final Gear Z! ( Battle remind me of final fantasy , music remind me of Xenogear.)
@Lestat3721 actually i think Sephiroth doesn't have da balls to even talk to magus and magus could go toe to toe only with piccolo since they are both bad ass
People still talk about sephiroth and compare him to other characters like he actually did something. While Golbez was being controled by Zemus he destroyed several kingdoms and killed alot of people (not to mention nearly handing the planet over to Zemus) while giving his soul over to darkness. Then theres Kefka...he became a god and screwed over the whole planet. If people want to pick characters to take on Magus then at least pick note worthy ones. Sephiroth isnt it. So Golbez vs Magus :-p
Toriyama, what a great artist. Magus looks like Kibito Kai with a scythe. But he pwns so much. I wish that they would put some of the Chrono Characters in Kingdom Hearts, or would that be overkill?
@DargorV Somehow I don't think the ability to cycle between Lightning2, Fire2, and Ice2 (with corresponding barriers), and that shitty Geyser spell is going to be too tremendously helpful against Fallen One.
Even if Magus were at his fullest human-player-trained form, Kefka was really designed to be taken on by multiple PCs. And no, Magus can't compare to a Lv99 Locke with Genji Glove and X-Fight wielding 2 Excaliburs or Atma Weapons or whatever that shit was, lol.

Man, fuck Sephiroth. This is not a Final Fantasy video.
And stop nerding about who would win in a fight. There's no way of knowing that and it really doesn't matter because they're not even from the same franchise or the same universe. That's just flame bait.
When you first played Chrono Trigger and you finally made your way to Magus, how many of you thought to yourselves, "Well, I'm fucked!" as soon as this theme started playing? =D
"im legitimately surprised i missed one of you, but thats okay, ive been working on some jokes, now tell me if youve heard this one. how many namekians does it take to..arrgghhh!!!"
I have played Chrono Trigger for years. I literally can play it from memory and have even 100% completed the game on regular new game in less than 24 hours. To this day, Magus is the only boss I find in the game to still be challenging. He is That One Boss.
Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which is electronic music inspired by great games such as Chrono Trigger. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
Magus is a great character. he has depth beyond that of many villains of the day and even more in today's market. but if we want to talk about just powerful villains Orstead from Live-a-Live has got to the king. if he loses he does the equivalent of flipping the chess board with the universe. so there...and the imaginary flower girl killing mamas boy shouldn't even be spoken of.
Magus is the greatest character of all time. YOU know damn well anyone who has witness the shear awesomeness of Magus will stop and go wait-wait-wait that's Magus theme when they here it anywhere or any remix of it.
For all we know, the Masked Mage could be a descendant or materialized incarnate of the old Thanatos, so he may be a worthy adversary. Probably why he is masked now from that bygone time, though Thanatos was as well. We are vehement about our villains no? Well at least we have some character. There is just no other villain that is a nemesis to Magus; not even Kefka, and by saying this, that's really pushing it. So that's how it ends.
I just don't think this Masked Mage is worth a damn really. Compared to Magus he has no real story or background, but hiding behind a mask with schemes - not a very decent villain. Really is just a remake of the Dark Lich. A focused skill set might be better than a broader one in some sense. We'll never know the outcome of the fight, but I'd be there to bet against you Magus has what it takes. You call it rhetorical, but the fact remains Magus could still stand with his barriers and abilities.
I'd think this type of spell would probably be shadow based, so Magus can resist, maybe even reflect. Besides, they are different bosses built into these games for different fights at different times in the progressive character builds - you forgot that, and are trying to use it to your advantage. Out of sheer will, ability, and powers, Magus wins hands down. Funny thing is, this "Masked Mage" would get HP chunks rended out of him even only with Magus' 6,666 HP, due to the barriers.
Given enough time & the right barrier changes, I'd bet even at this lower level he has, since you wanna be a "punk" like that, through magical resistances & perhaps reflection, Magus stands a great chance to take him down even then. Maybe he'll create a time portal of sorts somewhere to fight when more experienced, & by delving into shadow magic, with something stronger than even Dark Matter, who knows what dire fate this "mage" will meet. Magus chooses the fight, your mage can only hide & wait.
does anyone know exactly how old is magus we can tell hes still human-if noticeably altered by his choice of power and in case you dont notice magus doesnt have a weapon on him when hes just standing there messing with his gloves he makes his appear when he needs to swing it and then bamf gone just spawn the scythe under sephirioths guard and bam 50 year old guy/girl dead
Their weapons both have excellent reach, and due to the scythe, Magus may have to finish him more quickly - and he could, but Magus has more
experience though, and his shadowy nature tells me he may have mastered movement through it at will to some extent, so this could be an edge.
His magic barriers alone would ruin Sephiroth at a distance, along with elemental attacks, but it depends where and how the battle takes place really, it's all situational.
I give a lot to Sephiroth, I really do, but in this case Magus would have it (that's just me). They both have outstanding tenacity, reasons, skill, and strength. Every power they both have should be pitted against one another somewhere someday in the right battle; it would be a very close fight,
Magus: Best Villain/Antagonist/Dark Magician/Conjurer/Wizard to ever exist in the entire history of man, living, or just an entity, besides anything in flesh that has ever had a level of realization & discipline for anything esoteric beyond most people's reach. He did whatever he had to do to stop Lavos, even descend into darkness, to harness its essence. Darkness Eternal Forever.
"I never imagined we would settle our score in this dusty old era. Come, let us finish this charade!" - Magus
@Gigameth89 Masked Mage eh? Just a surreptitious twist on the old Dark Lich from Secret of Mana, like inevitably he went into hiding. Thanatos by far would be the one that has him beaten (insert x number of times over). If Magus is going to try to create a showdown between himself and such a monstrous and destructive creature like Lavos, surely he could handle one misguided, misanthropic necromancer; he could even take on Thanatos himself. Magus has his own summoning to do. Kthnxbanished.
@EarthenAncient Do you really think Magus would have survived against Lavos if he would have succeeded in the summoning there and then? Try doing the Lavos final battle with just Magus when you get him, it's impossible. STATISTICALLY speaking. Masked Mage is stronger, with over 50 thousand HP and attacks that cause instant Death. Magus would be utterly destroyed. Although I do agree that Thanatos would most likely kick the crap out of the Masked Mage.
@Gigameth89 This is where Magus and his magical barriers come into play. You can talk statistics all you want, but if you are even bringing instant death attacks into this, your laming out on me. Reprogram a fight specifically designed between these two, and you'll see maybe that your Masked Mage actually only needs insta death type spells because of the odds he is up against in SD3. Pit him 1v1 vs Magus everything changes. Bring a Darkness Eternal into this somehow, it's over for this mage..
@EarthenAncient In any case and regardless of the rhetoric you're spouting, it doesn't matter. Magus has less HP, less power and is less gifted in terms of skill sets and magic. There is no "Alternate universe" fight where everything is even, just the hard statistical facts. Reprogram a fight and you reprogram everything about the characters in question. If he can't do what the Masked Mage does, then he is no longer the Masked Mage. Magus would lose. Miserably. Good day, sir.
@EarthenAncient Ehh... I would say Ghaleon from Lunar tops Magus in my opinion... but opinions really only apply to one person. Magus is a definite 2nd for me, since... you know... What you said. ^^^^^
You ppl seem to be very confused, it is all confusion & illusion to you about the whole Sephiroth vs Magus deal, they are two very different casters let me tell you.
I was 15 when Magus came around, so I probably have a better grasp on
it than most of you newer gen ppl who just watch those silly anime shows of which have nothing to do w/ this style of character build I'd say, even if the artist did do some DBZ. I guess some have sought the wrong proxy for their "darker sides", but I hold Magus in higher regard simply for the fact
that he dwelled in this darkness for ages after his own displacement to gain the power & knowledge to summon & put an end to Lavos. Sephiroth used a pawn psychically. Magus had a following. In a sense I would give it to Magus here, because he was a mysterious figure in the middle ages who had slipped through time from a magical era, (the same portal perhaps that pulled them all backwards inevitably to Zeal or prehistoria in some sense) he harnessed the power of the void, and found a way to
stop the end. He knew he needed a very dark nature externally to keep everyone out of his way, even Guardia, & he did so because he had the power to w/ regards to magic. Even in his position w/ the ulterior motive of killing Lavos, he was bound to meet resistance because he was very different and unique; even though displaced, he had a purpose. It took more solo control for Sephiroth, even though he was powerful no doubt, & he was up against bad odds, but Magus took it upon himself to stop
@EarthenAncient dude magus was a kid when he was thrown into the dark ages it seems to me your over-thinking this and defintely seems him being purely out for revenge rather than having some grand goal. and you seem to think based on your comments that sephrioth wasnt just a genocidal madman
the "big fire" (as Ayla had said) that would inevitably consume the world (Lavos). Sephiroth was bound to to meet his fate due to the extreme methods and self-serving goals of taking it upon himself to destroy a planet cosmically, no matter his position in SOLDIER. Such a gain in stature through arcane knowledge almost instantly (even with Jenova, a powerful cosmic link) will inevitably bring a great fall to his being, because of the scale of the thing on which he casted on, and what led
up to it; just what was at stake & because of Aeris & the Ancients. He's like the guy that will say "Oh I'll get my revenge later and do it from long range" out of pure evil intent, whereas Magus took one strong stand after all his discipline in darkness by himself in the depths of his castle against the thing that would inevitably rain fire from the core of the earth. Magus by far to me is a more profound and in depth shadowy caster, character, villain/antagonist, and had quite the past ;)
The hell...? I'm here to admire Chrono Trigger, and the top comment involves Sephiroth. What the hell? Take your pansy little squabbles over which RPG's and bosses are better to forums.
@KitsuneWarrior17 And take your generic comment elsewhere, because you don't have to read the comments if you're here to admire Chrono Trigger. Just pointing it out~
magus was epic i honestly started wondering who would win in a fight between magus and golbez from final fantasy 4. after considering the facts i believe golbez the thaumaturge(did i spell that right?) would win due to his immunity to dark magic and the spells virus and meteo. because virus isnt cureable, im serious in ff4 i tried remedies esunas etc. that would ultiamately be his undoing although magus has a clear advantage in melee combat.
on a side note sephirioth is such a poser magus ftw
oh wow this brings back good times ^^ damn I wish I could find my super nintendo and games :( I LOVED and still love this game, even though I can't play it :'(
I don't care how strong Magus is... I always battle him one-on-one with Frog to regain Frog's honor... it's like one of the coolest battles in the entire game!
Chrono trigger can be called the very best RPG for various reasons. The battle with Magus is ofcourse legendary. Its just so damn cool how the battle starts off when the music goes wild.
all the time i thought "man, those characters look like they were from dragon ball", then i realized Akira Toriyama actually does the drawings for chrono trigger. lol!
As ar as many people had commented in the past Sephiroth is a FF Fail Villain, Sephiroth= The decline in good FF villains, and as far as people saying Sepiroth beating Magus would go if you put Magus in FF battle system it would explode from his power, or if you put Sephiroth in Chrono Trigger battle system well he'd still lose, I mean he was easy to beat in FF7 to begin with he was the weakest FF final fight I'd ever encountered just sayin.
@KetsuRosataMalnor definitely not the weakest encountered.. i completely destroyed Chaos back in the day, and Cloud of Darkness doesn't look hard at all. Magus was piss easy for me. The only boss in Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross that gave me any challenge was Dario, and he was optional..
Sephiroth gave me a bit of a challenge back in the day, and I don't over level as most people tend to do.
@wheredarknessislight Sephiroth, I omnislashed him like a bitch. His hp is only like 70k. And Magus was easy as a boss, but he truly shines more as a party member. And Magus wasn't the final boss, that was LAVOS, who'd slap Sephiroth around like a bitch.
@wheredarknessislight I wasn't even looking for Omnislash when I got it, it was easy. Then again not to say Lavos was hard, but Sephiroth wasn't that hard either. All you had to do was hit him hard and fast and you won. Or just have a cure with all materias and you win. And if you want to go with harder boss battles, Final Fantasy 4 > Final Fantasy 7 anyday.
i dont get why people would say one thing is better than the other. like ive seen haters on kingdom hearts say FF is better way better or like here CT is better than all FF games or some would say pokemon is the only best rpg games when in reality we ALL know there all good games, those kind of people just want thumbs up on there comments because there on the video and there stating on the video with that game how amazing it is and no other game is good, it makes no sense and idk why ppl do that
so its like saying one of the best games ever made is crap and horrible while another one of the best games ever made is the sooo good that other good great RPG masterpieces or any considered as one of the greatest rpg games is not better than that game, its abit exaggerated or an understatement but its a stupid statement that im starting to see and they contradict themselves when they say its crap when in actuality they love it.
This reminds me of the time I battled Magus. I had just had an easy battle with Ozzie, so I was a little disappointed. But then I fought Magus, and that was probably the toughest time fighting a boss in the game. Ahhh, what an amazing game this was.
Vegeta: Nice try Kakarot, by the way where did you get all the red hair dye? Besides, I like this scythe. Cutting people to ribbons is a lot more fun than just blasting them into pieces.
Chrono Trigger is hands-down the best RPG that I have had the honor to play. Excellent graphics for its time, a wonderful battle system, and an amazing story with multiple optional endings that quite honestly moved me. This could very easily turn into an anime with a huge fanbase, or if Square decided to remake and breathe new life into the game, it could easily outsell anything Final Fantasy has to offer.
@Phorsakyned While Chrono Trigger is the best stand alone RPG ever made, Final Fantasy is better in that it has several amazing titles, despite the newer, crappier ones.
lol I dunno about that.Binding Cold to freeze him so he cant move and drop Metor on him. You might also remember that Golbez gave his soul over to the darkness so dark magic might not work on him...hence the reason Cecil had to become a paladin to defeat him lol. If thats not good enough then I suppose you could always try Magus vs Kefka...he ended up becoming a god lol I always prefered the older characters.Sephiroth never really did alot worth mentioning.magus would beat him easy
whats with all this DBZ talk? its a standard law of anime dont compare DBZ to anything else..they can blow up planets end of discussion...now Magus would kill Ken or ryu just dark matter would disintegrate them lmao
freeza vegeta goku...any of those guys would own magus. you guys seen dragon ball z and gt and stuff right? if not go watch some. shoot even ryu and ken could own magus's ass
@praceprace no, they could beat him, if they were careful and not cocky (ken is right out in that regard). i beleive this because while magus may be a master sorcerer he is also a master of scythe combat. he KNOWs how to move in a physical fight, just as much as they do. hell the man can FLY. even if he couldn't physically fight them he could fly too high for them to reach and rain dark bombs till kingdom come! and that aside, the entire arguement is pointless cause they're from different worlds
@ryushokikijo Well... considering that Goku dies every day, I don't think he could do anything. But, master of scythe combat? LOL Not really much of a chance there, either. I remember lawling really hard when I decided to have Frog fight him instead of letting him join and the amount of damage that he did when he tried to do melee on Frog was just... was just laughable. Also, I really just don't seem why people are suddenly trying to compare him to DBZ characters. That's just stupid.
@praceprace Dumb argument is dumb. Placing overpowered characters with barely any limits against a character with actual substance is silly. And I doubt Ryu and Ken could own Magus seeing as how they have no means of escaping magic that bends time and space and creates black holes.
Aww! Your baby sister's name is Marie! That's my name! I have a brother, who is 10 years older than me, who got me into video games! Chrono Trigger is our favorite game and also one of the 1st games my brother wanted me to play! Its one of the best JRPGs, IMO!
@DjSnaggleTooth its been several years so am not too sure...but there's one called omega..u can only do it by equipping..black rock or something..not sure..try checking ur inventory, maybe u have it. it should say "invokes tripple tech omega" in the description

I give a lot to Sephiroth, I really do, but in this case Magus would have it (that's just me). They both have outstanding tenacity, reasons, skill, and strength. Every power they both have should be pitted against one another somewhere someday in the right battle; it would be a very close fight,
but Magus to me would have the upper hand.

Magus: Best Villain/Antagonist/Dark Magician/Conjurer/Wizard to ever exist in the entire history of man, living, or just an entity, besides anything in flesh that has ever had a level of realization & discipline for anything esoteric beyond most people's reach. He did whatever he had to do to stop Lavos, even descend into darkness, to harness its essence. Darkness Eternal Forever.
"I never imagined we would settle our score in this dusty old era. Come, let us finish this charade!" - Magus

@Gigameth89 Masked Mage eh? Just a surreptitious twist on the old Dark Lich from Secret of Mana, like inevitably he went into hiding. Thanatos by far would be the one that has him beaten (insert x number of times over). If Magus is going to try to create a showdown between himself and such a monstrous and destructive creature like Lavos, surely he could handle one misguided, misanthropic necromancer; he could even take on Thanatos himself. Magus has his own summoning to do. Kthnxbanished.
EarthenAncient 6 months ago
@EarthenAncient Do you really think Magus would have survived against Lavos if he would have succeeded in the summoning there and then? Try doing the Lavos final battle with just Magus when you get him, it's impossible. STATISTICALLY speaking. Masked Mage is stronger, with over 50 thousand HP and attacks that cause instant Death. Magus would be utterly destroyed. Although I do agree that Thanatos would most likely kick the crap out of the Masked Mage.
Gigameth89 6 months ago
@Gigameth89 This is where Magus and his magical barriers come into play. You can talk statistics all you want, but if you are even bringing instant death attacks into this, your laming out on me. Reprogram a fight specifically designed between these two, and you'll see maybe that your Masked Mage actually only needs insta death type spells because of the odds he is up against in SD3. Pit him 1v1 vs Magus everything changes. Bring a Darkness Eternal into this somehow, it's over for this mage..
EarthenAncient 6 months ago
@EarthenAncient In any case and regardless of the rhetoric you're spouting, it doesn't matter. Magus has less HP, less power and is less gifted in terms of skill sets and magic. There is no "Alternate universe" fight where everything is even, just the hard statistical facts. Reprogram a fight and you reprogram everything about the characters in question. If he can't do what the Masked Mage does, then he is no longer the Masked Mage. Magus would lose. Miserably. Good day, sir.

@EarthenAncient Ehh... I would say Ghaleon from Lunar tops Magus in my opinion... but opinions really only apply to one person. Magus is a definite 2nd for me, since... you know... What you said. ^^^^^

You ppl seem to be very confused, it is all confusion & illusion to you about the whole Sephiroth vs Magus deal, they are two very different casters let me tell you.

I was 15 when Magus came around, so I probably have a better grasp on
it than most of you newer gen ppl who just watch those silly anime shows of which have nothing to do w/ this style of character build I'd say, even if the artist did do some DBZ. I guess some have sought the wrong proxy for their "darker sides", but I hold Magus in higher regard simply for the fact

that he dwelled in this darkness for ages after his own displacement to gain the power & knowledge to summon & put an end to Lavos. Sephiroth used a pawn psychically. Magus had a following. In a sense I would give it to Magus here, because he was a mysterious figure in the middle ages who had slipped through time from a magical era, (the same portal perhaps that pulled them all backwards inevitably to Zeal or prehistoria in some sense) he harnessed the power of the void, and found a way to

stop the end. He knew he needed a very dark nature externally to keep everyone out of his way, even Guardia, & he did so because he had the power to w/ regards to magic. Even in his position w/ the ulterior motive of killing Lavos, he was bound to meet resistance because he was very different and unique; even though displaced, he had a purpose. It took more solo control for Sephiroth, even though he was powerful no doubt, & he was up against bad odds, but Magus took it upon himself to stop
EarthenAncient 6 months ago
@EarthenAncient dude magus was a kid when he was thrown into the dark ages it seems to me your over-thinking this and defintely seems him being purely out for revenge rather than having some grand goal. and you seem to think based on your comments that sephrioth wasnt just a genocidal madman

the "big fire" (as Ayla had said) that would inevitably consume the world (Lavos). Sephiroth was bound to to meet his fate due to the extreme methods and self-serving goals of taking it upon himself to destroy a planet cosmically, no matter his position in SOLDIER. Such a gain in stature through arcane knowledge almost instantly (even with Jenova, a powerful cosmic link) will inevitably bring a great fall to his being, because of the scale of the thing on which he casted on, and what led
EarthenAncient 6 months ago
up to it; just what was at stake & because of Aeris & the Ancients. He's like the guy that will say "Oh I'll get my revenge later and do it from long range" out of pure evil intent, whereas Magus took one strong stand after all his discipline in darkness by himself in the depths of his castle against the thing that would inevitably rain fire from the core of the earth. Magus by far to me is a more profound and in depth shadowy caster, character, villain/antagonist, and had quite the past ;)

magus was epic i honestly started wondering who would win in a fight between magus and golbez from final fantasy 4. after considering the facts i believe golbez the thaumaturge(did i spell that right?) would win due to his immunity to dark magic and the spells virus and meteo. because virus isnt cureable, im serious in ff4 i tried remedies esunas etc. that would ultiamately be his undoing although magus has a clear advantage in melee combat.
on a side note sephirioth is such a poser magus ftw

As ar as many people had commented in the past Sephiroth is a FF Fail Villain, Sephiroth= The decline in good FF villains, and as far as people saying Sepiroth beating Magus would go if you put Magus in FF battle system it would explode from his power, or if you put Sephiroth in Chrono Trigger battle system well he'd still lose, I mean he was easy to beat in FF7 to begin with he was the weakest FF final fight I'd ever encountered just sayin.
KetsuRosataMalnor 9 months ago
@KetsuRosataMalnor definitely not the weakest encountered.. i completely destroyed Chaos back in the day, and Cloud of Darkness doesn't look hard at all. Magus was piss easy for me. The only boss in Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross that gave me any challenge was Dario, and he was optional..
Sephiroth gave me a bit of a challenge back in the day, and I don't over level as most people tend to do.
wheredarknessislight 6 months ago
@wheredarknessislight Sephiroth, I omnislashed him like a bitch. His hp is only like 70k. And Magus was easy as a boss, but he truly shines more as a party member. And Magus wasn't the final boss, that was LAVOS, who'd slap Sephiroth around like a bitch.
KetsuRosataMalnor 6 months ago
@KetsuRosataMalnor Lavos was easy too. Just had to know which to attack first.
And I didn't have Omnislash, nor Knights of the Round. It was a hardcore, heal, magic, and attack fight to the death for me.
wheredarknessislight 6 months ago
@wheredarknessislight I wasn't even looking for Omnislash when I got it, it was easy. Then again not to say Lavos was hard, but Sephiroth wasn't that hard either. All you had to do was hit him hard and fast and you won. Or just have a cure with all materias and you win. And if you want to go with harder boss battles, Final Fantasy 4 > Final Fantasy 7 anyday.
KetsuRosataMalnor 6 months ago
@KetsuRosataMalnor And on that, I am in complete agreement with you. Record of Agarest War is decently hard if you don't know what you are doing.

Chrono Trigger is hands-down the best RPG that I have had the honor to play. Excellent graphics for its time, a wonderful battle system, and an amazing story with multiple optional endings that quite honestly moved me. This could very easily turn into an anime with a huge fanbase, or if Square decided to remake and breathe new life into the game, it could easily outsell anything Final Fantasy has to offer.

@praceprace no, they could beat him, if they were careful and not cocky (ken is right out in that regard). i beleive this because while magus may be a master sorcerer he is also a master of scythe combat. he KNOWs how to move in a physical fight, just as much as they do. hell the man can FLY. even if he couldn't physically fight them he could fly too high for them to reach and rain dark bombs till kingdom come! and that aside, the entire arguement is pointless cause they're from different worlds

ryushokikijo 1 year ago
@ryushokikijo i don't really like comparing DBZ with CT but your comment made me.
first of all goku is a close range fighter and magus a long rage wizard so Goku is already in a disadvantige
and i don't see how Goku is supposed to get through magus his barrier
he could become super saiyen 4 or gogeta and attack him with an overpowered Kamehameha but his barrier would just simply absorb it.
so from my point of view, Goku wouldn't be able to defeat magus
Starfighter15 1 year ago
@ryushokikijo Well... considering that Goku dies every day, I don't think he could do anything. But, master of scythe combat? LOL Not really much of a chance there, either. I remember lawling really hard when I decided to have Frog fight him instead of letting him join and the amount of damage that he did when he tried to do melee on Frog was just... was just laughable. Also, I really just don't seem why people are suddenly trying to compare him to DBZ characters. That's just stupid.
