Kirby vs Miyamoto Musashi: who would win in a fist fight?
Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Kirby
“The Pink Puffball” · Nintendo · 1992 · 0′8″ (20 cm), about 4 lb (2 kg)
Round pink hero of Dream Land who inhales enemies and copies their powers. Officially about 20 cm tall, and far tougher than he looks.
Miyamoto Musashi
“The Sword Saint” · Japan · c. 1584–1645 · about 5′11″ (180 cm), about 176 lb (80 kg)
Japanese swordsman who said he won all 61 of his duels, and author of The Book of Five Rings. Famously turned up late to his duel with Sasaki Kojirō and won with a wooden sword carved from an oar.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Musashi by TKO. Musashi arrives late, naturally, and finds a 20 cm opponent wearing a headband. He is 78 kg heavier and has fought since age 13. Kirby floats and puffs, but a lone right hand ends it in round two, and the referee stops it.
Fair fight? Give Kirby a stepladder and a two-round head start, or make Musashi fight with both hands tied behind his back. Otherwise it's a very well-dressed swordsman against a pink dumpling.
