Miyamoto Musashi vs Sonic: 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.
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.
Sonic
“The Hedgehog” · Sega · 1991 · 3′3″ (100 cm), 77 lb (35 kg)
Sega’s blue hedgehog, running at the speed of sound since 1991. Attacks by curling into a spiky ball. Short temper, shorter attention span.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Musashi by TKO. Sonic zips around the ring, but his short attention span runs out first. Musashi, who won his first duel at 13, waits patiently while the hedgehog spin-dashes into a man 45 kg heavier. Midway through round two, the referee steps in and stops it. TKO.
Fair fight? Swap the ring for a running track and make it a race. Sonic finishes before Musashi has stopped stretching.
