Thanks.

I got a couple of spin-off match-ups done too. I already showed the Tart one a week ago, so here's another one from the same Tart spin-off manga.



Both Shikamaru and Riz are shadow manipulators who can use their own shadows and other sources of shade to gain an area advantage over their opponents. They're also cunning strategists to boot, as with enough intellect and skill, they can defeat enemies that are objectively stronger than them. They also contrast each other in terms of motives. Shikamaru tends to get a lot of flack for not trying hard enough unless push comes to shove, wheras Riz tries way too hard to achieve her goals, often with less than beneficial results.
