So…

Rank 12:

I’m giving last to the Warrior of the Boar, Diarmuid ua Duibhne. For all his prowess and feats, he’s the most likely to die first. He doesn’t have the power or the cunning to take full advantage of the setup, and he will fall quick and hard to someone who does; most likely Roa.

Rank 11:

I’m giving eleventh to the Warrior of the Rabbit, Panne. Like Diarmuid, her personality won’t let her take full advantage of the traps and tricks that are best used in this kind of battle. She doesn’t have the raw power to be able to keep up her straightforward approach, though she is also adept at surviving against forces more powerful than her.

Rank 10:

I’m giving tenth to the Warrior of the Ram, Godolf Auora. Like the above two, stealth and trickery is not his forte. All he has is his durability, skill, and brute force. They’re greater than Diarmuid’s or Panne’s, but not enough to give him an edge.

Rank 8:

I’m calling eighth as a tie between the Warriors of the Ox and Dog, Ayaka Ushigura and Gabranth. Ayaka is (almost) the last of the honorable meatheads, but one with enough power to make it this far. She won’t take full advantage of the situation, but she can hold her own in combat. Gabranth is more likely to use trickery than any other warrior, and is a formidable foe. However, once he does enter combat, he’s at a disadvantage against most of the remaining warriors unless he can finish them with the opening blow. This is only really plausible for Parcel.

Rank 7:

I’m giving seventh to the Warrior of the Tiger, Yukishiro Enishi. Enishi has the raw power and manipulative skills to survive, but his abilities are too offense-focused. He will sustain damage, as his offense isn’t enough to function as a defense against the opponents he’s facing. This will slow him down and wear him out, which will lead to his demise.

Rank 5:

I’m calling fifth as a tie between the Warriors of the Horse and Snake, Hol Horse and Michael Roa Valdamjong. At this stage of the game, Hol Horse is likely to try and betray his partner. Unfortunately for him, all of them are capable of murdering him without a second thought. Roa is also facing a multitude of strong opponents. They can track him down and prevent him from escaping. His Dead might still kill others once he’s gone, but he’s going to be killed himself.

Rank 4:

I’m giving fourth to the Warrior of the Rat, Parcel. She’s made it pretty far thanks to her hiding skills and her creative use of her powers, but she’s gone as far as she can go with that. Her remaining foes can use her obiesence against her and can survive a drop from the stratosphere.

Rank 2:

I’m calling second as a tie between the Warriors of the Rooster and Dragon, Morrigan and Angela Victoire Blendin. Morrigan has the ability to go unnoticed as an animal for a long period of time; she can easily hide and bide her time while others fight. She will be forced into combat during the late-game and, while she has power, she simply can not stand up to the remaining combatants. Angela will likely fall here simply due to her personality. She is honorable, headstrong, and brash; she’ll likely defeat any opponent who tries to ambush her, but she will sustain wounds. Her raw strength is an absolute force to be reckoned with, but it won’t stand up to the likes of the winner.

Winner:

The Warrior of the Monkey, Saruhiko Fushimi, surprisingly enough, wins this. When I initially made the roster, I thought he’d be around the middle of the pack. But his skills at surveillance, his combat prowess, and his versatile powerset are an ideal match for the scenario. Without Misaki Yata around, he is calm, calculating, and precise. He has the skills to hide and to fight, and can even fight off opponents like Angela using hit-and-run tactics. Everyone’s favorite grumpy psycho cop pulls ahead of the pack, and is my pick to win the Juuni Taisen.
