Katana Vs. Darth Maul

 

I'm not sure how Tatsu Yamashiro found her way to a galaxy far, far away - but now that's she's here, who wins this battle?  They've both got the skills to wield their unique swords, so it would be close!

  1. And the winner goes on to face Jake Paul....right?

  2. Never, ever bet against the founding member of what Mike W. Barr so charmingly referred to as "The Lung Bucket Brigade." ;)

    1. Good point! But, if she does succeed in killing him, won't her sword--in living up to its name--make him a potential Black Lantern?

    1. Now, if we could just get Godzilla vs. Mangog.

  4. Assuming Maul's lightsaber doesn't just slice through the steel of Katana's blades -- and, at least from a writer's perspective, I think it's a safe bet that it won't -- this could be a hard battle. It would be hard to choreograph in a way that would make the fight interesting for more than 5 pages... but frankly, I have no idea how it could end with both participants still alive.

    But maybe it's not Katana who went to the other galaxy, but rather Maul who came to Earth for some reason.

    And along those same lines... given that intergalactic travel was introduced in Ahsoka, what if that galaxy was a familiar one... not ours, but the Pegasus Galaxy as seen in Stargate Atlantis? Ahsoka Tano (and friends) vs. the Wraiths could be an interesting twist.

    1. There's a fanfic author (formerly known as Darth Yoshi) who came up with some stories brilliantly depicting that very situation! It's the "Batman/StarWars: The Dark Side" series.

    2. Darth would choreograph it himself!

  5. Bob G has a good point for a strange visitor coming to our planet. Unknown tech or magic could really move him in a way he never would have believed.
    Great concept...and ...execution Ross!!

  6. Now let's see a fight between Darth Maul and Ronin. Then Ronin vs Samurai Jack. Then Samurai Jack vs Hawk and Chick. Then Hawk and Chick vs Banjo.
