Release #33 - Johnny The Gassy

As the tournament chaos begins, fighters rush into tests and battles. Anthony heads into the combat zone while Daunte takes a test. Anthony soon notices a strange man in a green hoodie surrounded by sickly green fumes. When he approaches, the man reveals himself with a disturbing grin: “I’m Johnny… SmElL My pOiSoN…” Before Anthony can react, he accidentally inhales the toxic smoke and watches his skin bubble. Anthony strikes Johnny with his spirit and tries to flee, but Johnny dissolves into smoke and blocks his path. Every attempt to hit him only results in Anthony’s limbs being boiled away. As the poison eats at his body, Anthony’s demeanor darkens—bloodshot eyes, ragged breathing, and a chilling promise: “You’ve just got yourself killed.” Johnny mocks him, calling him an idiot for repeatedly stepping into his gas. But when Johnny looks away for a moment, Anthony rushes in and snaps his arm. Furious, Johnny unleashes more gas, melting off Anthony’s remaining leg. Anthony collapses, seemingly helpless. Johnny strolls toward him, laughing at his crippled body—until Anthony coughs blood and mutters, “Who you calling an idiot?” As Johnny begins to insult him, Anthony whispers again: “Pay attention.” His spirit, positioned behind Johnny, sends a devastating punch straight through his skull. The fatal blow instantly triggers Anthony’s full healing, restoring his body as Johnny’s corpse hits the ground. Anthony stands, scoffing, “Fuckin idiot.” Moments later, Daunte arrives, explaining they were docked 400 points—because he insulted Gary’s appearance. Anthony bursts out laughing: “You idiot…” A final panel displays the updated count: 348 Fighters Remaining. 174 Teams Remaining.
