Incorrect. Kuja went into a Trance. The souls were to enhance the Trance. A “normal Trance” as he put it, wouldn’t be enough. So, it was his own skill with a bit of an addition. Besides, he more than proved his abilities before even going into Trance. He made the entire race of Black Mages. I’m sure that’s NOTHING, though..........Why so many people think that Kuja can use Ultima and destroy a planet with his own power? Everyone forgot that Kuja only gained his powers because he STOLE the souls(and the power) of the Invincible. Is the same thing if i say "Kefka can use the Light of Judgement and destroy a city, with his own power".
It said in the guide he could only destroy a planet like Terra? Quotes?> Evidence? Get some.And Kuja cannot destroy a big planet(like Gaia, for example). He only destroyed a dead and small planet, located in the core of Gaia(like the Ultimania Guide said)
Okay. One uber-spell down and a crapload of other accomplishments and feats still left..
And in the first post, was said that this is Kuja in the begin of the game(normal Kuja), so, forget about Ultima, Super Trance, etc.
Well, I doubt she fought an opponent like Kuja. Only true history on her is that she killed a hundred knights. 100 hundreds do not equal powerful mage. So, her combat expertise may be totally useless here.This being said, i will give my opinion. I think that Beatrix would win in a fight. Both of them are powerfull with magic, but Beatrix is very strong and skilled too, and she have more experience in combats.
He doesn’t know how to fight? More assumptions and unsupported assertions.Beatrix is a legendary knight in FFIX world(like Sephiroth is in FFVII world), when Kuja is just a powerfull mage, but that don't know how to really fight.
Well, what do you mean by a direct and an indirect fight? A mage won’t attack her in melee combat, if that’s what you mean bya “direct” fight because that’s below him. And as for remarkable qualities, Kuja did take a shot from Bahamut, King of Dragons and second most powerful eidelon, and get a small scratch. Then laughed at the blood. He then would go on to survive an attack by the most powerful weapon in FFIX, the Invincible, while the kingdrom around him was demolished. Oh and he made the Black Mages and Mistodons and Zorn & Thorn...and yes, so his power is equal to his intelligence.Beatrix more remarkable quality is her strength and power. Kuja more remarkable quality is his intelligence.
In a direct fight Beatrix wins, in a indirect fight Kuja destroy her.
There are intellectual villains who lack real power. Moebius the Timestreamer for instance is a complete genius but horribly weak. Kuja has the best of both worlds.
