Imagine turning a blow into a blow and trying not to be the first one to take damage. Because as soon as the window of damage opens, there is a barrage of pain that will follow.

But the show will have to omit the ‘loser dies’ rule they have.
2 Demon Lord – The Seven Deadly Sins
The consequences of the Demon King’s actions are felt again in Season 1 between the protagonist Meliodas and his fateful love/tragedy Elizabeth. That’s not important. Because he doesn’t care about little things like that. The demon king has only one goal: to oppose the supreme god.

All attacks aimed at the king are not only neutralized, but turned into pure healing powers, keeping him in peak fighting condition. It’s the perfect challenge for a hardcore Souls type of player to take on.
One Gilgamesh – Fate/Zero
The King of Heroes appears. But when he decides to show himself, it never bodes well. It’s an even worse sign if he shows up in golden battle armor and all his swords are stabbing you.

So how can you challenge someone who seems invincible? This golden boy has an arrogant gravitas. Fighting him like he does on the show will be a heist for ages to come.
