Pygmy Hippo's "Animated Bloodshed" Edges

Arsenal:Normally I would compare each weapon individually but considering Ika has powers while Buck has actual weapons, let's see what each one brings to the table. Musume's tentacles give her great offensive power, defense, mobility options, and range and her other powers aren't too bad either like ink to blind people, a mild healing factor, blinding light, and bracelets to give her more power or escape a losing situation. The Weasel's knife is a decent weapon for a creature of his size and his smoke pellets enable him to make a quick tactical retreat and an attack dinosaur in Rudy that can either distract an opponent or be used as a mount.

Buck's knife is completely outclassed by Ika's tentacles in range and power, even if he manages to cut one off, it'll just grow back, and they're more versatile to add salt to the wound. The smoke pellets are handy but his opponent has a similar option with the ink and glowing that can blind her opponent to escape as well. The Weasel's mount, Rudy, is definitely better than the bracelets however, he weighs more than a ton and his sharp claws and teeth will shred her if he gets the chance although he probably can't chase down a flying Musume.

Overall, it really comes down to the tentacles and Rudy, Ika's other powers aren't going to do much but delay Buck's dino. I believe that the tentacles will ultimately be able to fend off Rudy and should be able to surprise the duo with various shapes and they can even react to attacks on their own which mitigates the chance of a knife winding up in the back of her head. Ultimately once Rudy gets taken down by a tentacle explosion, the Weasel better hope Musume's healing is only a one-time thing and her main weapons have been horribly shredded because if it isn't, he's dead meat then. Edge:Ika

X-Factors:In Experience, Buck gets the edge as while Ika Musume has 'fought' smarter foes, it's not really combat and surviving when surrounded by apex predators several times your size is no small feat. Im Intelligence, Buck gets a slight edge as he's basically had to rely on his smarts to survive while Ika Musume's only had to use it for sumo and volleyball along with other things that won't be that helpful here. In Versatility, Ika Musume gets the edge for reasons already stated in my arsenal edge. In Tactics, Ika Musume gets the edge as all of her abilities are used for different purposes in competitions or combat and her defensive style enables her to guard against Buck's attacks and Rudy although not using her greatest power at the start might cost her some nasty injuries. Edge:Tie

Final Verdict:This has got to be the most ridiculous BFB of all time but also probably one of the best, but Ika Musume is the clear winner here in my eyes. While it's close in X-Factors, Ika just has the better arsenal to work with here with her tentacles enabling her to counter Buck's attacks pretty effectively and some supporting powers for even more variety. Buck is definitely more experienced and smarter but I doubt he'll figure out a way to get past her tentacles before losing Rudy and with him gone, well, he's going to have to hope she's crippled enough to finish the job.

Winner:Ika Musume
