Silver Shinobi vs Chipp Zanuff DEATH BATTLE

Wiz: The American Ninja, a one-man culture clash between east and west, combining modern street brutality with ancient fighting arts.
Boomstick: We all know ninjas are the baddest motherfuckers on the face of the planet, but these warriors stand out from the rest in their own unique ways. Like CHIPP ZANUFF, survivor of the Guilty Gear tournament!
Wiz: …and the SILVER SHINOBI, the High-Caliber Shuriken.
Boomstick: He’s Wiz and I’m Boomstick!
Wiz: And it’s our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a DEATH BATTLE.

-----------------------------------

Wiz: A nameless traveler rescued from the brink of death by a local ninja clan, He vowed to repay his rescuers by studying the martial art "Shitonnoken"...

Boomstick: "Shih Tzu"-what now?

Wiz: "Shitonnoken" is a style based on a mixture of ninjutsu and a combination of various Chinese martial arts. Its name roughly translating to "Four Elements fists", this martial art style allows the wielder to use their martial arts kata to manipulate the elements.

Boomstick: SO HE'S THE AVATAR!

Wiz: Uh nnnnno. The particular clan that trained him, the Fukurojin clan, trained him only in the Wind element. He had no intention of learning the others. However, he was trained personally by the headmaster of the clan, Kazemaru Hanzo. Because of this, the traveler mastered the ability to control the air around him, for attack and defense. He often uses this ability to knock opponents off balance or strike them in a way conventional martial arts wouldn't.

Boomstick: So he huffs and he puffs and he knocks them all down... There's gotta be more to that, though, right?

Wiz: Absolutely right, Boomstick. After this nameless traveler mastered the Wind style, also referred to as "kazeken", Kazemaru felt that the traveler still possessed more potential strength to unlock, so the traveler was sent to the Raiden clan to train under Kazemaru's half-brother, Raijin.

Boomstick: And WHOOOOOAH, you can bet the training was tough.... LOOKIT THAT HAIR! Somebody needs to start using conditioner in the shower!

Wiz: Under the supervision of Raijin and his daughter, Nariko, the man who would become the Silver Shinobi quickly mastered one of the most difficult styles of Shittonnoken...

Boomstick: The style of Raiken, which grants the power to generate and control LIGHTNING!!

Silver Shinobi: *Yells as millions of volts of electricity spark around him*

Boomstick: ....God, I wish I had that power.

Wiz: By mastering Raiken, the "Lightning Style" of Shitonnoken, his abilities increased a thousand fold. As he gained electrokinetic abilities, his already-honed speed, strength and endurance skyrocketed to ABOVE superhuman levels. And it was because of his quick learning and unpeered skill at harnessing such deadly power, that he was then dubbed the "Silver Shinobi".

Boomstick: And it ain't just because of his costume, either! Actually, it’s totally because of his costume…

Silver Shinobi: Hey, don't diss the costume! Chicks dig the costume.... I mean, it's loose, it's easy to move in... and it has a bit of sentimental value to it.

Wiz: The Silver Shinobi is powerful mainly because of his two combat policies: Speed, and versatility. Being a martial artist versed in both Ninjutsu and—oddly enough—Drunken Fist Kung Fu, he is incredibly intelligent and creative, being able to use weapons for different purposes than intended, or even using the most unexpected objects in the area as weapons…

Boomstick: Like chairs, poles, the enemy's weapons, and even their grandmother!

Wiz: He also applies this policy to his elemental manipulation, as he tends to use his electricity to augment his attacks, enhance his speed and strength, and even power electronics and heavy machinery.

Boomstick: Talk about a walking battery charger! If your car's battery dies while you're on the highway, just call for him. You won't even need jumper cables!
Wiz: Being a ninja, he is trained and mastered in many skills involving weapons, but he usually settles with his ninjato, kunai, and shuriken, all of which are forged with a special alloy which includes a combination of copper and silver, both of which are perfect for conducting electricity.
Boomstick: And with his crazy agility and unmatched hand-eye coordination, he single-handedly developed a style of close-quarter martial arts, which his fellow ninjas refer to as “Shuriken Spinning”.
Wiz: The Silver Shinobi’s shuriken are designed specifically for this style. Reminiscent of cowboys spinning revolvers on their fingers to display their skill and technique, the Silver Shinobi developed this style to distract opponents with fancy tricks before tagging them with a precision strike.
Boomstick: Hey, it works with nunchucks!
Silver Shinobi: *starts spinning shuriken, doing fancy tricks and juggling them before throwing them at the camera*

Wiz: Silver Shinobi is indeed creative and versatile, but his speed and combat ability are on a completely different level altogether. He is a firm believer that strength has little to no meaning if the attack is too slow to connect with its intended target. Being the creative mind that he is, he has a tendency to improvise and come up with new techniques to counter his opponents...

Boomstick: Like the Lightning Bullet, a technique that fires a bolt of lightning at his opponent with the concussive force of gunfire, just from snapping his fingers!

Wiz: And the Seismic Thunder, a technique that generates enough electricity to spark a chain reaction, resulting in a concussive blast, similar to that of a large bomb.

Boomstick: But one of his deadliest abilities is the Raiken Install, which generates so much electricity and channels it through his body that he can run at above supersonic speeds, lift objects hundreds of times his own weight, and punch a guy a thousand times before he can even hit the ground.

Wiz: Raiken Install also enhances his senses and reflexes to impossible levels, allowing him to detect even the minutest details of a target, and attack with laser-like precision. The only catch being that if there is no output to this level of high voltage, he will suffer major electric burns, and possibly even die from it.

Boomstick: Additionally, the Raiken Install also allows him to take full advantage of the Raikime technique, an ability commonly found in FREAKING SHARKS! Is he part shark or something? He’s gotta be part shark…
Wiz: The Raikime technique, or “Lightning Aura Eye”, is perfect for battling in low-visibility situations. By using electricity to enhance his brain activity, he can detect people in fog or complete darkness by sensing electrochemical reactions within the human body. This ability is also useful for when blinded by flash grenades or faced with an otherwise stealthier foe.
Boomstick: And when he gets seriously pissed, his electricity becomes an angry red color, and becomes the appropriately dubbed “Bloody Lightning”.
Wiz: The “Bloody Lightning” is a bizarre ability compared to the rest of the Silver Shinobi’s moveset. In this state, his electricity transfers through the air at a frequency lower than normal. In contrast, however, the amplitude of the electricity is much greater.
Boomstick: Simply put, Bloody Lightning is slower than regular lightning, but does tons more damage.
Wiz: While the change in the lightning’s speed is practically inconsequential, there is a major flaw. The Bloody Lightning is fuelled by Silver Shinobi’s pure anger, and because of that, it is difficult, if not IMPOSSIBLE, to maintain control of it over an extended period of time.
Boomstick: And he gets plain tuckered out at the end of it. Regardless, his arsenal revolves around using speedy strikes and lightning to deal as much damage as quickly as possible. They say lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place. It will with THIS guy around!

Wiz: However, even with his outstanding ability and incredible intellect, he is not without his shortcomings. He refers to himself as being somewhat naive, very sensitive and short-tempered, and doesn't respond well to ridicule. In that regard, he tends to be easily angered, especially when wrong is done to those he cares about.

Boomstick: And he may not admit it, but he’s also a flirt. He’s a good-lookin’ guy who likes to charm all the ladies. But one surefire way to piss him off? Make fun of his dead girlfriend.

Wiz: On his first assassination mission, he was still an apprentice under Raijin's daughter Nariko. The mission went well for a while, until he got caught in a trap and had a spear thrown at him. Which she took instead, sacrificing herself so he could live.

Boomstick: So, when a girl says she dies for you, she really means it? I thought it was just a thing they say in those sappy love stories...

Wiz: Overcome with a terrifying rage for someone else paying for his mistake, he broke free from the trap and completely slaughtered all his enemies single-handedly, destroying the building they were in in the process.

Boomstick: How did he do this, you ask? Well, his anger was channeled subconsciously to create his ultimate attack: The SOUL OF ASURA.

Wiz: To mimic its namesake, the Asura of Hindu legends, this technique can only be truly activated by channeling the user's pure, unadulterated rage.

Boomstick: In doing so, he manipulates the electricity around him to create not one, but TWO extra pairs of arms! Allowing him to climb walls more effectively than a spider, and deliver EVEN MORE DAMAGE! But mostly the climb-like-a-spider thing...

Wiz: Regardless of his shortcomings, this ninja is powerful, tenacious, and deadly. A powerful warrior, able to control the forces of nature itself... Because of this, he has frequently been challenged to duels by gods of various mythologies.
Boomstick: Greek, Norse, Japanese, Egyptian, You name it, he’s beat the Thunder God of it.
Wiz: His accomplishments have indeed made him stand head and shoulders above all the rest. Along with dueling gods of various mythos, he’s also been called upon as a demon exterminator and has battled many demons larger and stronger than himself. His most notable victory being against the legendary Monkey King, Sun Wukong.
Boomstick: How’d he beat him anyway? Made him slip on a banana peel? ‘Cuz that’d be hilarious. And ironic…. Thus, even more hilarious.
Wiz: His other accomplishments involve travelling through various underworlds around the planet and surviving their resident demons and environments, which no living mortal should be able to do.
Boomstick: Guess what started as a one-time thing to visit his dead girlfriend, eventually became a hobby.
Wiz: With his vast arsenal and incredible abilities, to say this ninja is a force to be reckoned with would be a gross understatement.

Silver Shinobi: You see, they call me the High-Caliber Shuriken... I'm about to show you why!

-----------------------------------

Wiz: Orphaned at a young age, Chipp Zanuff grew up with the wrong crowd, dealing drugs for the local mafia, until a deal went sour and he was punished heavily for it. He was rescued by the great ninja Tsuyoshi, who then took him under his wing and trained him in his own style of ninjutsu.
Boomstick: Damn…. What is it with American ninjas and out-of-control hairstyles? I thought we were out of the eighties…
Chipp: Kiss my ass!
Wiz: Chipp was trained in the usage of a long sickle-like blade mounted on the user’s wrist, functioning similarly to the forearm of a praying mantis.
Boomstick: But that’s not the only trick he’s got up his sleeve!
Wiz: Right. During his training, Chipp has learned how to use Ki Force, a natural energy found in all living things. Tapping into enough of this Ki Force allows him access to superhuman abilities.
Boomstick: LIKE TURNING FUCKING INVISIBLE! These abilities also include super speed, short-distance teleports, buffed-up attacks, and a more solid defense. But Chipp’s more likely to go on the offensive, using his own natural speed and agility to run circles around his enemies, before tagging them with the Alpha Blade, a single dash-n-slash, or the Beta Blade, an edged uppercut.
Wiz: In order to help set up for these attacks, he sometimes uses the Gamma Blade, a technique that sends out a sort of shadow clone using a portion of his Ki Force. The technique is effective, but for a brief moment, should it miss, its user would be left wide open.
Boomstick: But that doesn’t hold a candle to one of his most dangerous techniques, the Zansei Rouga!
Wiz: Zansei Rouga is a technique that shares its roots with the Izuna drop, an ancient ninja technique involving piledriving the victim headfirst. With Zansei Rouga, Chipp forces his opponent up into the air with a series of slashes, then finishes the move with a final guillotine strike.
Chipp: *performs the technique* ZANSEI ROUGA!
Wiz: In spite of all these techniques Chipp still has much to learn. However, before he could complete his training, his master Tsuyoshi was murdered by a member of the Assassin’s Guild, towards which he swore his revenge. Along his journeys, he has begun to train under two other skilled warriors of Japanese heritage: Baiken, the wandering female ronin, and the dancing journeyman Anji Mito. Both of which oversaw his training from then on….
Boomstick: But revenge on the Assassin’s Guild isn’t the only thing on this kid’s agenda…
Wiz: After observing the world’s laws and lawbreakers, discussing the matter with his teachers, and then battling the giant brawler Potemkin, he has set himself a new goal… and begun another personal quest, this time for fame and glory…
Boomstick: RUNNING FOR FUCKING PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD! I like this guy! I’d vote for him!
Wiz: And after defeating the vampire Slayer, one of the original founders of the Assassin’s Guild, he was entrusted with command over the Guild to shape as he saw fit. This didn’t sit well with the current leader of the Guild, Venom, and since then, he and Chipp have become bitter rivals.
Boomstick: You’d think they’d settle their differences over a game of pool…
Wiz: Chipp’s most vital asset in combat is his swiftness and agility. However, his defense and stamina are below average, which may prove to be his undoing. Since his fighting style relies on dodging and dashing, he’s kinda dropped the ball on endurance training. Add his hot blood and short temper into the equation, and the result is a glass cannon. With his level of maneuverability, however, he just might be able to run circles around the competition.

-----------------------------------

Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set. It’s time to settle this debate once and for all!
Boomstick: IT’S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLLLLLLLLLLLLE!!!

-----------------------------------

-=Battle begins=-

-=Battle Ends with Chipp’s head being ripped off from his shoulders by Silver, using Soul of Asura. K.O.! SILVER SHINOBI WINS=-

-----------------------------------

Boomstick: THAT WAS FUCKIN’ AWESOME! SHOW IT AGAIN!
Wiz: When starting with the basic blow-for-blow, both combatants appeared to be evenly matched. When Chipp started using his Ki Force, he had proven himself to be a formidable enemy, even when faced with Silver’s Raiken Install. However, Silver Shinobi took advantage of his own frustration and anger, and channeled it into his attacks, triggering the Bloody Lightning. Unfortunately, this slowed him down enough for Chipp to carry a slight speed advantage.
Boomstick: Once Chipp started dealing some real damage to him, though, it only made him angrier. Not exactly the brightest idea.
Wiz: Chipp’s relentless barrage of attacks only fed Silver’s bloodlust. Once he triggered the Soul of Asura, it was over.
Boomstick: Looks like Chipp couldn’t keep up, so he lost his head over it.
Wiz: The winner is the SILVER SHINOBI.
