Bayushi entered the ring in a more martial outfit, black trimmed in dark greys. As he squared off against Asahina, the Scorpion immediately threw his entire weight into pushing the bigger man out of the ring.

No man is invincible but, of the ways to potentially topple Bo, throwing weight at him was certainly not the effective route.

The big man does not even budge or flinch as the Scorpion bounces off of him... and is promptly thrown across the ring.

Bo can't help but wince a little at the distance - he had never been good at not giving his all, "Sorry! Good try though!"

Once they return to their starting positions Bo nods and smiles, "My turn, try and stop me Bayushi-san!"

It should not be possible for a mountain to move with such speed and grace. The wily Scorpion better hope that he can twist the momentum... or that the fortunes watch over him.

Just like he had practiced, Bayushi tried to shift with Bo's force and direct the Crane out of the ring...only, the Crane was more talented in that maneuver and Bayushi found his redirect redirected right out of the ring.

"Excellent, Asahina-san!" Bayushi commended as he dusted himself off and squared up once more. "You are strong and formidable." With no more warning, the Scorpion launched himself directly at Bo with a furious assault designed to press his opponent back before a defense could be mounted. [3Success symbol vs. ?]

Though not quite enough to fully topple the Crane the furious onslaught was enough to push him back out of the ring.

"You do your clan proud, Bayushi-san! But I won't make it as easy again."

It would be wrong to say Bo redoubled his efforts, he had never underestimated the Scorpion and had always given it his all, but his brow furrows as he centers his focus and once more maneuvers after the other man.

Bayushi tried to cleverly twist and feint to put Bo off guard, but it was no use. The Scorpion found himself once again out of the ring.

"You surprise me, Asahina-san! Exemplary!" As he squared up again, the Scorpion became very still, seemingly waiting for the Crane to strike.

Whatever the Scorpion's scheme, which Bo's player will let them write out, it seems that while it is not enough to topple the giant it does succeed in preventing them from being thrown either.

When the round finally ends Bo bows deeply to the Scorpion, "Amazin' job Bayushi-san! Not many give me even a moment of struggle."
