The Black Knight Vs The Black Knight

Welcome to another Fabled Fight! Today we have.. wait, how can someone fight himself? Oh, right, these are two different Black Knights. Our first is the famous character from the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and our second is a mysterious figure from the classic Gamecube game, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. Anyway, it's time for our brief analysis of each fighter and then the verdict!
 
 Black Knight (from Monty Python)
--- As the link above shows, he's very capable of resisting pain
--- Deemed a formidable foe by King Arthur
--- This Knight is really.. unique






 Black Knight (from Fire Emblem)
--- Wields Alondite, a sword blessed by a goddess. Capable of firing dangerous beams of energy
--- Sacred armor cannot be damaged by weapons that haven't been blessed. However, the Black Knight will offer the holy weapon Ragnell to those he deems worthy, so a fair fight may be had.
--- Uses mystical powder to teleport, but this saps his stamina
--- (Spoiler alert for his identity) Has blue hair.
--- Accelerated healing
--- Similar to a medieval Darth Vader, isn't he?


Verdict:
This one's not even close. Fire Emblem's Knight easily defeats Monty Python's. Even if Python's was bestowed the sword Ragnell, capable of bypassing his foe's armor, Fire Emblem's Knight still possesses superior sword skills, faster healing, and teleportation capabilities. Not to mention a pretty cool theme, too.
Thanks for reading!


My final thoughts: There's a sequel video game to Path of Radiance on the Wii called Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. They're both aging, but I still enjoy them quite a bit. And the Black Knight's entrance in both is awesome!

Today in the life of a Jeremy: Planning a surprise date for my fiancee. I think she'll like it!
