The Battle of Fates Setting: You desolate urban battlefield, remnants of crumbling buildings jutting into the chaotic skyline. The atmosphere crackles with anticipation as the two powerful fighters step into the ring. --- Itadori Yuji, a warrior with fierce resolve, stands ready. His muscles ripple under the weight of his determination. “This ends today, Higuruma! I won't let your twisted sense of justice take over!” Hiromi Higuruma, calm and confident, clutches his Judge mallet, its ominous shadow looming over the arena. “Justice isn’t about mercy, Yuji. It’s about making the right call.” Both fighters eye each other, tension thick in the air. The battle commences with a quick exchange of blows. Yuji darts forward, using his Black Flash to surround his fist with dark energy. “Let’s see if your judgment holds up against my power!” With swift thrusts, Yuji’s enhanced speed allows him to close the distance. Higuruma, however, remains unfazed, raising his mallet with a calculated expression. “You’ll need more than that to avoid a guilty verdict!” Just then, Yuji unleashes Piercing Blood, sending a wave of crimson energy aimed directly at Higuruma. Yet, he counters quickly, activating his RCT with a flick of his wrist. His wounds close almost instantly, a calculated smile creeping onto his face. “You’ll have to try harder, kid!” Yuji’s frustration boils over as he pushes forward, launching a series of furious attacks. Higuruma expertly weaves in and out, using his guard to absorb some damage while waiting for the right moment to retaliate. Suddenly, he raises his mallet high, channeling all his might. “Time to pass judgment!” As he brings it down, the ground trembles, and the Deadly Sentencing domain unfolds around them, encasing Yuji in a courtroom of chaos. The immense pressure mounts, but Yuji channels his adrenaline, knowing he has to break out. “No way you’re the judge of my fate!” With a primal roar, Yuji harnesses his Simple Domain, nullifying some of Higuruma's power. The two clash in a whirlwind of energy, fists and lighting mallets striking with ferocity and precision. It seems like the tide might turn! But Higuruma, with calculated calm, channels the Executioner's Blade into existence. In a swift move, he lashes out. “Guilty.” --- Winner: Hiromi Higuruma Higuruma’s strategic mastery and smart use of his domain proved crucial. While Yuji’s raw power and speed are formidable, his unpredictability fell short against Higuruma's control over the battlefield and the death sentence that sealed his fate. Higuruma outmaneuvered him with wisdom, ensuring that judgment was executed without hesitation.
