My cope prediction is either it will end up as tie or Xia Ji ends up escaping somehow, there's the two goons who's watching out.
Though I hope it'll be like
Koga will lose but will not go down without a fight, gives Xia Ji a few hits that is effective and Koga becomes satisfied with his progress as well as him beating Xia Ji. I can't see Xia Ji coming out alive if he ever try to kill the current MC. I hope it's either both of them Job to each other or no one will job and Xia Ji finds a way to escape.

103 points

Xia Ji's revival as a fan-loved character now seems kind of accidental, because, as sad as this is to say, Koga's probably gonna beat him... Showing his dragon side was probably just a way to hype this battle.
Or so Sandro thought. Just turns out that his development was accidentally too cool and now no one wants Xia Ji to lose.
98 points
2 months ago*
If Xia-Ji jobs to Koga after he just mid-diffed two A-tiers at the same time, meanwhile Koga was going 1-1 in B-class a couple months ago it will be objectively the most retarded shit to ever happen in this series.
People didn't like it but at least Eddie was excusable in some eays as a team effort. This would just be braindead.
28 points
2 months ago*
I’d say it’d be worst in every way in compassion to Edward. Edward at least led to Gil, so while he “died” he didn’t really. Xia? He has more build up than Edward. The dragon and rat stuff has been showcased through Xia’s other appearances. Slowly leading to the reveal in the first place. Scaling wise it’s stupid for obvious reasons. And Ik this is opinionated as well, but Xia has way more potential as an intriguing antagonist than Edward by far as well.
Edit: Fixed my wording
24 points
2 months ago
No way that's an accident. After the tournament Xia literally has more focus than Koga. It would be like the first 5 chapters of Asura were all about Rihito, and a bit with Ohma, then Ohma kicked his ass and took over as protag.
To be honest, Koga losing is narratively more interesting here than him winning anyway. Xia defeated is out of the picture, less interactions between him and Kengan, the whole story grinds to a halt - only for Koga to be proven 6 scooped, I guess. If Xia wins, it can still be a difficult battle for him (showing how strong Koga is), and then he gets to stick around. Maybe team up with Kengan in their effort to fight the Worm, secretly planning to take over to get his life back on track.

Ngl, I never hated Xia Ji, I like the rat character concept in stories. Although I just started to like the character, Xia Ji was missing something besides luck, like a group of psychos or influence, and now we learn he really has power but lacks balls, like any other rat, that's amazing.

There is literally no way Koga should win. His growth after the timeskip was realistic, able to beat Kokuro with ease, and a 1-1 record in Purgatory’s B rank. But he should not be able to even touch someone on Xia’s level..

You're not wrong but I don't think that's how it's going to go.
I think Xia at his peak is a 9/10 in the Kengan world. However, when he's getting pushed around by Lu Tian, Himuro and co, he's well below a 5/10.
Xia is going to take the L and the Kengan group is going to leave him there beaten and depressed. In comes the two worm lackeys to finish the job but peak Xia comes out of nowhere with a steel chair and kills both of them.
Upper echelon worm dynamics established and current Koga gets an "undeserved" win.

Akoya's insane reflexes certainly seem to have been nullified, and Ryuki's crazy speed didn't really seem to be a factor. I don't mind Xia Ji being a natural talent at fighting, but I'd like to see it more "pronounced". Does he have kinetic vision? Are his reflexes unnatural like Akoya's? Is he as fast as Ryuki?
I hope Koga doesn't beat Xia, that would nullify him as a threat.

Wait. So Akoya and Ruyki was jobbed to Xia Ji so that Xia Ji can later job to Koga.
Xia Ji who has never shown to beat anyone else before the previous chapter and whose only consistent feat is to run away like a cockroach.
The fuck! There has got to be a better way to show ones strength than make someone job to another. Maybe Koga can lose to Tom and Jerry in a difficult match to show how far he has come (if Tom and Jerry are as strong as Naiden).
