[ He's like dumbly proud of his sandanzuki technique, alright. ]
I got to see you bleed, so it did the trick.
[ It would have been better if it skewered Kaoru, but Souji's expectations are always low when it comes to battling cheating demons. He tries to circle around, attempting to corner Kaoru between him and an unfortunate game booth. ]
[Accompanied by a RUDEASS LAUGH because of course, it's Kaoru, Kaoru finds humor in the worst situations and this is probably one of the top contenders for "worst situation to find humor in"...
But he'll sidestep and edge back, even though he's fully aware of what Souji is trying to do. He won't actually get a chance to stab, though...
Because Kaoru's reaching behind himself to... pick up that game booth and, you know. Fling it in Souji's direction. As anime demons are wont to do.]
[ fckin rudeass demons and their anime demon strength ]
[ The look on Souji's face is practically priceless at the sight of the test of strength gong sailing towards his head.... The sort of look any murderous murderer would have when he's suddenly derailed by the stall they were just fighting in front of??? Rude, he was in the middle of trying to stab Kaoru! But now he has to duck all the way down to the floor to avoid being brained by the very game that started this all. ]
[ He rolls to the side to avoid more debris, (but not all, so he's being hit by like planks of wood and the corner of the TEST YOUR STRENGTH signboard) then pops on up once the coast is relatively clear. Except now he's got a cheating anime demon to stab and debris all over the place, making for rocky ass footing... ]
[ Souji looks around, then grabs a giant teddy bear and lobs it towards Kaoru's face... Making this fight even LESS CREDIBLE. At least he follows that up with another attempted slash while Kaoru is hopefully distracted... ]
this is literally just a scooby doo fight now.....
[Ah, the proof of Souji's love is sailing right at him... Who even knows why Kaoru bothers to dodge?! IT'S A HUGE STUFFED ANIMAL not even a test of strength gong would be enough to knock this champ out, and yet, he somehow just reflexively feels the need to not be hit by this big soft bear. It might damage his fighting street cred...
So he dodges, and the bear sails over him and takes out the poor carnie who was shakily attempting to find another booth to hide behind. Both carnie and bear go bouncing down into the next booth over, which sends that booth-runner heading for the hills. Good bye, friends...
Kaoru, in the meantime, isn't sidetracked by any of these shenanigans for long. It's enough time for someone as skilled as Souji to get a swipe in, but that mostly just cuts through the fabric near his chest. RUDE. He responds with a quick jabbing thrust instead, though it's less of an attempt at skewering his favorite gumi ever and more just trying to regain some distance and get him to back off enough so that Kaoru can flee to a more open space.]
