Interlude[]
Wiz - Neo Politan, the beautiful and unruly illusionist from RWBY
BOOMSTICK - Himiko Toga, the pure assassin from MY HERO ACADEMIA
Wiz - There are many assassins and bodyguards in the criminal underworld, but few are more deadly than those who do it not out of pay but out of love.
Boomstick - He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick
Wiz - And it is our job to analyze their weapons armor and skills to find out who would win a DEATH BATTLE!
Neopolitan[]
Wiz - In the world of Remnant, danger is a part of life. There are the supernatural beings known as the Grimm, attracted to negative emotions and obsessed with destroying everything. There was also the White Fang, a terrorist group dedicated to freeing the Faunus from the abuse and racism of mankind. And perhaps the most common would be the criminal underworld itself that ruled the world from the shadows.
Boomstick - Don't worry, though. The Huntsmen and Huntresses are here, dedicated to protecting the world from all threats. Though they probably have more trouble with the criminal underworld than they do with the Grimm and terrorists. I mean, who could fight someone who lives in the shadows?
Wiz - One of the most famous criminals is Roman Torchwick. With his mastery of combat and incredible charisma, he led the criminal underworld until his death at the Battle of Beacon, leaving behind a single woman to follow his legacy, Neopolitan.
* Background * Full Name - Trivia Vanille * Age - 25 years old * Height - 4'10" (147 cm) in heels * Love Interest - Roman Torchwick * Based on Hecate from Greek Mythology * likes - Recognition, Roman, causing trouble * dislikes - Cinder, Ruby, people taking her spotlight * Formerly a student at Lady Browning's Preparatoy Academy For Girls
Boomstick - Before she was a woman who was clearly named after an ice cream, she was Trivia Vanille. Born into a high-class family, Trivia was abused by her parents for not being the perfect child. Kind of a typical background for these henchmen.
Wiz - Isolated from the world, the only comfort she had was in the form of an imaginary friend named Neopolitan. As she grew older, Trivia's parents - who were angry at their daughter for her heterochromia, being mute, and her unruly behavior - decided to send her to a boarding school so she could learn to be a normal kid.
Boomstick - In reality, they wanted to get rid of her. During her time at this school, she began to realize that she didn't need to follow the rules and could actually become a free spirit like her friend Neo. She was literally influenced by her imaginary friend.
Wiz - So, after escaping the school, she began started trying to find her place in the world.
Boomstick - And she found it when she met her Prince Chharming, Roman Torchwick. This candle's flame gave her a brand new name and a new idenity, one where she didn't need to listen to her parents. Which she took advantage of by burning them alive. That's what you get, you scumbags!
Wiz - Though there were some benefits to Trivia's parents kicking her out of the house. You see, she was sent to a school meant to train people how to be spies. And she took in the training and began using it in her new life with Roman.
Boomstick - Her primary fighting style is a form of Bartitsu, a British form of stick fighting that includes a mix of kickboxing, jiu-jitsu and acrobatics. She uses this in conjunction with her weapon, Hush. An Umbrella. Is she related to Mary Poppins?
Wiz - There are a few jokes about that on the web. But her weapon is no joke. Amplified by her Aura - a barrier created by your inner life-force - she can use it to combat against some powerful enemies like Yang Xiao Long, and it even contains a swordstick that she can use for the finishing blow.
Boomstick - Also, she can use it as a parachute. Though that tends to backfire once in a while. And don't think that because she tends to dodge attacks that she isn't tough, as she was able to knock defeat Yang, who can be compared to Weiss. And Weiss destroyed a few lancers by crushing a few rocks - a feat worth at least 55 tons of tnt.
Wiz - And, according to the creators of RWBY, she is offically stated to be superior to Mercury Black, who can dodge lightning, which travels at a speed of over 270,000 meters per second. That's 364 times the speed of sound!
Boomstick - That isn't that hard to imagine, as other characters like Oscar/Ozpin, Blake and Sun Wukong could also dodge or catch lightning!
Wiz - But perhaps her most dangerous ability is her Semblance - a super-power that she gained through her training. Dubbed Overactive Imagination, she can use it to create tangible illusions that can be used for a variety of purposes, like escape or creating disguises.
* Arsenal/Abilities * Spy-Training * Aura * Defensive Forcefield * Healing * Enhances Strength, Speed, Endurance * Overactive Imagination * Illusions * Camouflage * Constructs - Jabberwocks, Roman Torchwick, James Ironwood, Pyrrha Nikos, Ozpin, Oscar Pine, Clover Ebi, Penny Polendina, Leo Lionheart * Hush * Umbrella with Concealed Blade * Can be used as a parachute * Ascension
Boomstick - With these skills and more, she proved to be a constant nuisance to RWBY. Like when she infiltrated the Atlas Airfleet in order to help Cinder's plan's come to fruition during the Battle of Beacon. This didn't go very well.
Wiz - Devastated by Roman's death, and unsure how to deal with it, Neo began a quest for vengeance. SHe hunted down Cinder and the two fought each other. Realizing she couldn't beat Cinder, Neo joined forces with her to get revenge on the one other girl responsible for Roman's death - Ruby Rose.
Boomstick - And Neo definetally has the skills for the job. She is able to fight up to four trained Huntsman at the same time, one of whom contains the knowledge of at least a hundred or so warriors. She is also very sneaky, able to steal the Relic of Knowledge from not only Oscar, but also Salem, is literally the equivalent of an all-powerful witch with the control over all the the legions of hell!
* Feats * Overpowered Yang in their first Battle * Survived the Battle of Beacon * fought on par with Cinder, the Fall Maiden * Infiltrated Atlas air fleet * Stolen the Relic of Knowledge from Salem * defeated Yang, Team ORNJ, Maria, Ruby * dealt the killing blow to the Curious Cat
Boomstick - After a long time of waiting, Neo would eventually get her revenge on Ruby, attacking her while she was evacuating everyone from Atlas from death and sending her and her team into the void. Sadly, she did get thrown in as well because of some backstabbing. Thanks, Cinder!
Wiz - However, with the new season coming up, it is still possible for Neo to gain a redemption the way Emerald and Hazel have. Can she find some form of forgiveness for Ruby and join the heroes, so she could get revenge on Cinder? Or will she die an angry woman, bent on vengeance, unable to express her sorrow because she had no friends, and the only one she did have was taken from her by a woman in red?
Boomstick - This was actually answered when she went to the Everafter, a magical land full of incredible creatures, including a very possessive Curious Cat who literally possessed her in order to take travel to Remnant.
Wiz - It was here she was able to enhance her Semblance to create physical copies of whatever she wants - whether it be some old friends like Roman Torchwick, a bunch of Jabberwocks to feed on those she hates, or even an entire mansion based on her old home.
Boomstick - You think she could make beer?
Wiz - Possibly. I mean, she did make weapons full of ammunition.
Boomstick - I think I'm in love. After she got to beat the crap out of Ruby, being possessed and some deep inner thinking, Neo understood that she shouldn't hold onto the past and began to undertake the process of Ascension - basically their version of recovering from trauma.
Wiz - Deciding to stay in EverAfter for a bit longer, Neo has began a path of rehabilitation. However, she may not be gone good, as with this young woman, nothing is ever as it seems.
Himiko Toga[]
Wiz - The yandere is a popular trope when it comes to create female villains. After all, nothing is more terrifying than a woman who is so obsessed with the person they love that they are willing to kill they if they reject their affections.
Boomstick - Unless, of course, the only way they know how to show affection is by cutting them and drinking their blood like some kind of vampire! Ugh!
Wiz - And there was one yandere who was like that - Himiko Toga.
* Background * Full Name - Himiko Toga * Age - 17 * Height - 5'2" (157 cm) * Love Interests - Izuku Midoriya, Ochaco Uraraka * Likes - Blood, Pomegranates * Dislikes - Being rejected, pretending to be normal, Curious * Co-Commander of the Carmine Regiment of the Paranormal Liberation Front
Boomstick - The curls are cute. Think she is related to Princess Leia?
Wiz - Born into a wealthy family with a clear desire for perfection, Himiko Toga was born with a superpower that allowed her to transform into a person, so long as she has drank that person's blood. Sort of like Dr. Facilier's necklace from Princess and the Frog.
Boomstick - Obviously, her parents were not okay with this. At all. Like, they even smacked her when she called an injured bird cute! I mean, I know she is creepy, but couldn't they show her some love?
Wiz - Apparently not. After they discovered her obsession, they began treating her with Quirk Therapy. This form of therapy taught people like Toga to hide their impulses and to contain them for as long as possible. This only made the situation worse. After all, forcing someone to hide who they are isn't very healthy for their mind, and will eventually cause them to snap. And Himiko snapped by drinking the blood of her crush!
Boomstick - Well, after that incident, she ran away from home and became a serial killer, draining the blood of everyone she meets. She eventually joined the League of Villains, and became one of its most valuable members.
Wiz - And valuable she was. Thanks to her time on the streets, she learned how to disappear from her opponents by temporarily distacting them and "erasing her presence". She uses this skill in conjunction with her knives in a form of combat very similar to tantojutsu, the japanese art of knife combat.
Boomstick - And, in order to allow her to use her quirk more easily, she uses a Blood Sucking Machine that allows her to, after stabbing an enemy with its' needles, drain their blood so she could turn into them later. Perfect for quick escapes or for getting more valuable transformations.
Wiz - Toga's greatest skill is her ability to read people. In fact, during the attack on the Forest Camp, when she was captured by Ochaco, she was able to deduce that Ochaco was in love with someone and used that to distract her long enough to take some of her blood. She was then able to easily escape, but not before falling in love with Ochaco's crush, Izuku Midoriya. This kind of led to a small rivalry between the two women.
* Arsenal/Abilities * Transform * Can turn into whomever's blood she drinks * Can now copy their quirks * Time Limit - 30-40 Minutes at minimum, 16 hours at Max * Weapons * Knives * Blood Sucking Machine * Capsules * Ochaco - Zero Gravity * Twice - Double * Froppy - Frog * Tantojutsu and stealth Mastery
Boomstick - And Toga clearly had the edge in that rivalry. No pun intended. She is even able to fight on par with Ochaco who was able to survive hits from Bakugo. And Bakugo is able to destroy an entire meteor shower with his explosions! I mean, just look how big they are!
Wiz - While we do not know the amount of energy used in the Meteor Shower Explosion in particular, it appears to be similar to the explosion he used on the villain in Two Heroes. Thanks to our dear friends in Vs Battle Wiki, we can estimate that the explosion is worth about 41 tons of tnt. See below for details.
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Therefir/My_Hero_Academia:_Pinwheel_Blast
Boomstick - Also, Ochaco did keep up with Bakugo, even if she did lose to him in the end. The Explosion Murder King even admitted that he didn't go easy on her. This means that they should be able to move at similar speeds. And Bakugo can keep up with Dark Shadow, who can catch Kaminari's lightning! And that means that Ochaco - and thus Toga - could move at similar speeds.
Note - Lightning has few ways to travel. Since quirks are genetic and not magical, it is very likely that Kaminari's lightning should move at a similar speed to it.
Wiz - And Toga has done far more than that. She also managed to infiltrate one of the most prestige schools in the world of My Hero Academia, Shiketsu High School, with people not finding out until after she revealed her abilities to Midoriya in the Shie Hassaikai Arc. But it get's better for her when she and the League are forced to battle against the Meta Liberation Front, where she learned how to copy the powers of those she turns into, though she requires knowledge on how their powers work and must have a strong attraction to them.
* Feats * considered the perfect counter to Danger Sense * helped kidnap Bakugo * infiltrated Shiketsu High School * helped the League get revenge on Overhaul * survived an explosion from inside her body * saved Froppy from a High End Nomu * defeated Froppy, Erasure Head, Curious, Ochaco
Boomstick - This enabled her to use Ochaco's Zero Gravity to kill Curious, a woman who can turn anything she touches into bombs! And she took her down by making her float! Pennywise would be proud!
Wiz - However, this war with society led to many tragedies, among them the deaths of Magne and Twice. The latter proved especially devastating, as Twice was like a brother to her. Now worried about her fate, she went to ask Midoriya and Ochaco about what may happen to her if she got caught.
Boomstick - Sadly, she never got the answer she wanted, even when she told Midoriya the truth about her feelings. As a result, she used a power given to her by her teammate Dabi to destroy all of Japan - Twice's blood.
Wiz - Because of her fondness for Twice, and her knowledge of his powers, she was able to replicate his Sad Man's Parade attack, which, with help from Kurogiri, was able to cover Japan with clones and may allow All For One to complete his plans!
Boomstick - However, Ochaco, influenced by Deku's desire to save Tomura, works hard to save Toga from her path of self-destruction. Will she be able to save a girl who only knew rejection for the majority of her life? Or will Toga be forever seen as what she was called her entire life - a demon?
Wiz - Fortunately for Ochaco, Toga has begun to realize that she didn't really love the League. This means that, like Tomura, she may want to be free of the influence that her past has put her in.
DEATH BATTLE![]
The Streets of Japan had been destroyed by Gigantomachia, leaving a massive mess that allowed criminals from all over to do what they want. This may have been tough for the heroes, but it was an absolute joy to somebody like Himiko Toga.
The young girl danced across the streets, looking for someone to drain the blood of.
Himiko Toga - I wonder if I would be able to see Izuku again! I have a few questions I want to ask him.
As she smiled sadistically, she heard a thunderous explosion unlike anything she ever heard. Looking at the sky, she noticed a portal open, and watched as two cute young women were falling from the sky. One of them opened up a parasol, causing the one in red to crash to the ground, while she floated safely down into the same alley.
Himiko Toga - Oh, boy! I hope I will get to meet new friends!
She skipped after the two girls.
In the alley, Ruby Rose groaned in pain as she struggled to get up. Thanks to Cinder, she had fallen into some void that taken her... taken her...
Ruby Rose - WHERE AM III?!?!
Freaking out, she tried to find a way out of the alley, when suddenly, she was struck from behind by Neo. The assassin slammed her to the ground, pulled out a blade from Hush and pointed it an Ruby's neck.
Neo turned into Roman Torchwick, making it clear who she was doing this for, and prepared to strike Ruby.
Himiko Toga - Are you two ladies having fun? Can I join?
Neo transformed back into her true form, then turned around and faced Himiko, who was smiling at them sickly. She glared between Ruby and Toga, then rolled her eyes.
Neo (thought) - I can't afford to have any witnesses. I'll take care of the school girl first, then I'll kill Little Red.
Standing up, she stabbed Ruby in the ankles, making it impossible for her to move. Since her aura had already been spent in her battle against Cinder, Ruby wasn't able to use her Semblance to escape, or use any barrier to shield herself. She screamed in pain, then watched as Neo turned to face Himiko Toga.
The two villains stared at each other, waiting for the other to make her move. Himiko decided to advance towards Neo to get a good look at the heterochromia. The two stared each other down.
Himiko Toga - Tell me, does your blood taste like ice cream, too?!?!
She pulled out a knife and slashed with it, but, much to her surprise, she was immediately struck by some sort of force in the stomach. She quickly recovered, then looked at Neo.
Neo looked at Himiko smugly as she leaned the umbrella over her shoulder.
Himiko glared at Neo, then charged at her. She slashed at the young woman with her daggers, but Neo dodged each attack with relative ease. As she dodged each attack, she landed multiple blows of her own, knocking Himiko away.
Himiko Toga - She's good! I can't seem to land a hit on her! How am I going to see her blood?!
She looked at the hat, then recognized it as a boy's hat. Or rather a man's hat. She smiled as she thought of something.
As she continued her onslaught, Himiko tried throwing her knives at Neopolitan, but the young woman rolled away, then flipped onto a bench, crossing her legs and opening her umbrella. She smiled at Himiko smugly.
Neopolitan (thought)- Can't hit the broad side of a barn! Who taught you to fight?
Himiko smiled, then began speaking.
Himiko Toga - You have that smell! The smell of a woman in love! That's his hat, right?
Neo looked at Himiko in surprise. How did she deduce that? From her turning into Roman, or from the hat?
Himiko Toga - It's only natural to want to look like the people you love, so you start to dress like them. But sometimes that's not enough! Eventually, you want to become them! What's your type! My type are boys tattered with blood! That's why mine always end up that way!
The assassin looked at Himiko in fear.
Neopolitan (thought) - That girl is literally insane!
She charged again, but Neo quickly dodged. However, taking advantage of Neo's shock, Himiko slashed at her with her knife. The blade made contact, but - much to Himiko's surprise - it done no damage to the girl. She then noticed some kind of barrier around Neo, and rolled her eyes.
Himiko Toga - So, your quirk is some kind of barrier that you can use to change your appearance or strengthen your body. That's cute!
Himiko pulled a capsule from her Blood Sucking Machine's Storage Box and drank it, transforming into Ochaco Uraraka.
Neopolitan (thought) - Shapeshifting through the ingestion of blood? Haven't seen a semblance like that. And what did she mean by quirk?
She smirked, then charged at Toga. She kicked the blood drinking assassin, but Himiko/Ochaco grabbed Neopolitan by the leg and used the Float power. Himiko then threw her into a wall, releasing the power. As Neo flipped to avoid getting into a weaker state, Himiko/Ochaco grabbed a dumpster and used Float to throw the massive object at Neo.
Neo (thought) - Oh, crap!
As the dumpster struck her, though, her illusion shattered like glass. Himiko/Ochaco looked around in case Neo tried to strike, then saw the bench and smiled. Using float on all the trash she can touch, she caused it all to float, then grabbed the bench and began swinging it around, knocking all the trash around her in different directions. One struck Neo, causing her invisibility to shatter and Himiko/Ochaco launched more of the debris at the assassin.
Himiko/Ochaco - Home Run!
Neo got back to her feet, her aura shimmering from the damage dealt by the attack. Getting up, she quickly disappeared, camouflauging herself so she could escape from Himiko.
As Neo tried to leave, she smiled as another idea came to mind and attacked Toga from behind. Himiko/Ochaco blocked the attack, flipped over the umbrella and stabbed Neo in the back with her syringe, but - much to her surprise, the syringe broke. Neo turned and struck Himiko, knocking her into the edge of the alley.
She then released the blade at the end of her parasol and charged at Himiko, intent on stabbing her. Himiko/Ochaco quickly dodged the attack, touched Neo's leg and threw her into the wall. The LOV member pulled out a dagger and stabbed Neo, but Neo quickly spun her leg in a scissor kick to stop the girl. As Himiko backed away, she quickly recovered and grabbed Neo by the leg and threw her across the alley again. After releasing her quirk, Himiko watched as Neo landed on the ground like a ninja, then grabbed another vial from her pocket and drank it, transforming into Twice.
Himiko Toga/Twice - Sad Man's Parade!
Neo looked at Himiko curiously, then gave a look of horror as an army of clones appeared and began covering the alley.
Neo quickly used her Semblance to escape the alley, then saw a large bar and ran towards it. As she ran in, she began locking the door and putting furniture in front of it. As she did, a hand smashed through and attempted to grab her. Escaping it's grip, she watched as it took Roman's hat, and quickly fled up the stairs.
As she made it to the top of the stairs, she looked at the clones coming from Himiko/Twice's body, and swallowed in fear. She had to think of a way to catch Himiko Toga off guard, but how could she do that when there were so many clones guarding her.
She then thought about what Himiko said before the battle began. She said that people tended to copy the people they love. What if...
As she heard the doors crash open, she smiled slyly.
Neopolitan - Time to become someone I hate!
Breathing heavily, she transformed into Himiko Toga, then turned and watched as the army of Twice clones entered the room.
Twice #1 - Toga! Do you know where that girl went?!
Neopolitan/Himiko pointed down the window at the real Himiko, and Twice nodded. He ran out the other door.
As they all left, Neo/Himiko transformed into Twice, then smiled coldly.
Neopolitan (thought) - Revenge is mine!
She ran down the stares in her disguise, planning to strike down Himiko with her blade.
Himiko looked at the clones who began running into the room and smiled, then watched as some of the clones began running back to the door.
Twice #1 - Found her! Charge!
Twice #2 - Hang on! Weren't we just over there when we were made?
They all looked around, confused, until one clone charged at Himiko. Himiko quickly dodged the attack in shock, and watched as the clone continued attaking her. The clones were too shocked to do anything as Himiko fought the double. Himiko eventually landed a good blow on the girl, causing her to turn back into Neo. She flipped back onto her feet and glared at Himiko, putting one hand behind her back in a Victorian Fencing Style.
Neopolitan (thought) - Don't compare my love for Roman to your twisted fantasies, freak!
She charged at Himiko, intent on striking her down!
Twice #4 - Quickly! We have to save Himiko!!
One of the clones quickly jumped in front of Himiko, protecting her. As the clone turned to mud, Neo tried to turn invisible again, but the clones quickly surrounded her, striking her repeatedly so she would stay visible again.. She began fighting each of them, slowly taking each of them down. Realizing she couldn't do it alone, she used her Semblance to create a team of Jabberwocks. She pointed Hush at the army of clones and they charged at the angry mob.
The battle between the Jabberwocks and the Twice Clones was insane. Due to their large size and hunger, the Jabberwocks seemed to of held an advantage, striking down each clone. But everytime one clone was struck down, a new one took its place. As the two sides fought, Neo began looking for a way to escape the Sad Man's Parade, but there were too many of them.
Suddenly, one of the Jabberwocks were knocked down and destroyed. Another began floating in the air as a new version of Ochaco touched it. Froppy appeared, wrapped her tongue around it and threw the creature. Slowly the clones were being overwhelmed, and Neo found herself on her own!
Neo took a fighting stance and began striking at the clones as they came close too close to her. Despite their impressive numbers, Neo was able to strike down each one with a single hit. However the number of clones proved too much for her, and they eventually overwhelmed Neo. Refusing to give up, Neo continued fighting, creating copies of the people from her past - Roman, Penny, Pyrrha, Ozpin, Leo, Clover, and James Ironwood. However, even with these clones and their weapons, she was still being overwhelmed.
As Neo continued fighting, she began losing track of how many clones there were as she began using her Semblance to try and catch them off guard. As she defeated the last of them, she took heavy breathes, clearly overexerted from the number of clones she fought.
As she lost focus, she felt a sudden stab on her back as Himiko Toga appeared behind her and stabbed her in the back. Her Aura shattered, and all of the clones she made disappeared.
Neopolitan (thought) - How did you-?!
Himiko smiled, and continued stabbing Neo. As the mute assassin groaned in pain, she felt Himiko bit her neck like a vampire as she slowly dragged her back to the alley. Neo quickly headbutted Toga, and the two began fighting hand on hand. As Neo tried to escape, Himiko grabbed her slammed her against the wall, and stabbed her in the neck.
Neo looked at the blade in her throat, and spat blood into Himiko's face. Himiko then leaned forward and began kissing Neo, allowing the blood of the dying girl to enter her mouth. As Neo went limp, Himiko smiled then turned around. Crouching down with a sick smile on her face.
Himiko Toga - I'm glad I came!
Conclusion[]
KO
Boomstick - You know, I think I may need to avoid ketchup for a while. Or anything red and liquidy, for that matter.
Wiz - Tell me about it. On paper, Neopolitan seemed to have had this in the bag. Her Aura alone meant that Himiko would have a tough time dealing any lasting damage to her.
Boomstick - Also, while Himiko had usually relied on fighting like a wild animal to win her fights, Neo had been trained for several years how to be an elite assassin who could take on warriors as dangerous as Cinder.
Wiz - However, Himiko had plenty of ways to turn this fight around. When fighting with an opponent who has superior close combat skills, she tends to use psychological warfare, playing on any insecurities they may have. This is how she was able to distract Ochaco in the woods - and considering Neo's feelings for Roman were very similar to Ochaco's love for Deku, Himiko could have figured a way to exploit it.
Note -While it is unlikely that she would have known about Roman in particular, Himiko was able to deduce Ochaco's love for someone without knowing that she was in love with Izuku in particular. She was also able to use this skill to take advantage of the arrogance of characters like Mimic. Considering Neo's fondness of toying with others, Himiko could exploit her arrogance as well.
Boomstick - Plus, Himiko was faster. They may both scale to lightning dodging characters, but it is way more complicated than that.
Note - While Ascension could free Neo from her trauma, it is unlikely that she wouldn't be disturbed by Himiko's twisted ideals of love, similar to how Ochaco and Froppy were frightened by them.
Wiz - While the lightning that Neo scales to came from the sky, the lightning Himiko scales to came from across the field. When it comes to finding out reaction speeds, one has to divide the distance the character moved to the distance that the lightning came from. The closer the distance, the faster they could move. As a result, Himiko would be the faster, by about thirteen times at least.
Note - Himiko could scratch 5% Deku, who was able to keep up with Bakugo, who was able to move at speeds similar to Dark Shadow, who caught lightning from this distance, further validating this point.
Boomstick - And this was definetally a problem for Neo, espescially considering her Aura. Since aura's work like a health bar, it is more likely than not that Himiko could just keep on striking her until it is completely depleted. And the people she could turn into would help her do that.
Note - Mina Ashido and Toru Hagakure - characters who are inferior to Ochaco and thus Toga - were capable of dodging laser's from Aoyama. Another character who has a background remarkably similar to Toga's, Rody Soul, dodged lasers from Flect Turn. Scaling to these characters means that the difference in speed is possibly even greater.
Wiz - Right. While Neo's powers are better for infiltration than Himiko's 'disappearing' move, it still pales in comparison to Himiko's quirk. For one, Himiko could copy the abilities of those she turns into as long as she has strong feelings towards them and know how their powers work, while Neo's powers only allow her to copy their appearance. Two, Himiko's form could stay on for over thirty to forty minutes, while Neo's form shatters after a single hit.
Boomstick - Three, Himiko's forms don't stop working after she runs out of a 'health bar'.
Wiz - Correct. The only option Neo would actually have would be to run and hide, but considering the sheer number of clones Himiko could create using Twice's blood - enough to possibly cover an entire city - there was no way that Neo could stay for long before they eventually found her and shred her to pieces.
Note - While Neo may have fought against Cinder and put up a good fight, she immediately stood down when she saw Cinder's Maiden abilities. This shows that she is not fond of fighting characters out of her league. Himiko, on the other hand, put Final Arc Deku on the defensive and was able to help Tomura fight against Gigantomachia, and both Final-Arc Deku and Gigantomachia are far more powerful warriors than Cinder. This would mean Himiko has more experience against stronger opponents.
Boomstick - But perhaps the biggest difference would be their mental state. Both of them are clearly insane, but Himiko has a better time dealing with trauma than Neo does. When Overhaul killed Magne, Himiko decided to patiently bide her time until she could make a good move. When Neo lost Roman, she went on a long and hard journey to revenge, making mistakes like blackmailing the petty Cinder, which led to her being kicked into Ever After with Ruby.
Note - Neo could make clones of otherself and other people she knew, but not at the same amount as Double did. Also, none of her copeies had shown any evidence of being able to use their Semblance or Maiden Powers, while Himiko's clones could. This gave Himiko a much more varied option of defeating her enemies, especially with her ability to copy the powers of Ochaco and Froppy.
Wiz - Despite Neo being a far more experienced combatant, Himiko's mastery of deceit, superior speed, and more versatile power power gave the pure assassin the advantage she needed to take the win - and the bite - of victory.
Boomstick - Puns are my thing.
Wiz - Sorrynotsorry.
Boomstick - Neo's imagination was overactive as Himiko Toga sucked the fluids - and the victory - out of Neo's ice cream flavored body.
Wiz - The winner is Himiko Toga
Trivia[]
- The similarities between Neopolitan and Himiko Toga are as follows
* - Both are female criminals who have suffered at the hands of their Parents due to their imperfection (Neo was locked in her room by her parents for being mute and heterochromia, while Himiko was seen as a freak by her parents for her fondness of blood.) * - Both became allies of the main antagonist of their respective franchises (Cinder and Tomura, respectively), and had a strong bond with one of their allies, who's deaths would devastate them (Roman Torchwick and Twice, respectively.) * - Both are capable of shapeshifting through special abilities (Overactive Imagination and Transform), which had grown in power after a battle (Neo's Semblance gained the ability to create stronger illusions after the battle of Beacon, while Toga had gained the ability to copy the Quirks of those she turns into after fighting the Meta Liberation Army). These battles led to them eventually joining the inner circles of the villains (Neo would go on to join Salem's faction, while Toga would become a leader of the Paranormal Liberation Front). * - Both use bladed weapons (Hush and Toga's knives), and have an incredible way of vanishing in an instance (Neo can make illusions that shatter on impact, while Toga can seemingly 'disappear' if people aren't focused on her). * - Both have some desire for affection that is seen through their relationships with people (Neo wants to be validated for her accomplishments, while Toga wants to transform into those that she loves)
- The song that could be used for this battle would be Blood Re-Semblance by Brandon Yates. The music fits how the creator visualizes the battle going, and found it after he finished the battle. If the reader would like to listen to the music while reading the battle at the same time you can find it on this link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NpKuuSUO9o
- The way Himiko won - drinking the blood from Neo's mouth - is based on the events in the fanfiction May Your Hearts Go Beyond.
