Summary[]

The odds of winning for each participant in the Titanomachy Tournament
The Coro siblings finally announce the beginning of the tournament as they introduce the fighters. Octavius steps into the arena, greeted by thunderous cheers from the crowd, chanting in support of Rome. Moments later, Lü Bu enters the coliseum, his presence commanding attention. To everyone’s astonishment, he kneels down and grabs a handful of dirt from the arena floor. The crowd murmurs in confusion, questioning if he’s lost his mind—he’s entering the fight unarmed.
The Coro siblings redirect the audience’s attention to the top of the coliseum, where a massive stone displays the odds for each fighter's chances of winning the tournament. Gasps ripple through the crowd as the odds for the first fight are revealed: Lü Bu, 100.2, and Octavius, 1.8. Among the spectators, Lucius is seen fervently praying for Lü Bu’s victory, having bet on him. His sister, Yuria, scolds him sharply for such reckless behavior.
Before the fight begins, Octavius tells Lü Bu to have a beautiful battle. Lü Bu responds that he has no need for beauty in a battle. Octavius counters, saying that Lü Bu doesn’t understand. He declares himself the strongest in Rome and the reincarnation of Heracles. Since Lü Bu stands no chance against him, Octavius says, Lü Bu should at least hope to die beautifully.
Finally, after the brief chat between the fighters, the Coro siblings declare the official start of the first round.
