He would have lost completely if the fight had continued, it was completely one sided. Godou's been outmaneuvered at every turn. The sword was gone without being able to fulfill any effect. He's wounded. Despite being able to use the camel, the camel's next to useless against Athena. As for the white horse, he can use that, but Athena can block it with Aegis. As for the goat, the goat's condition of use is not activated yet. The wind is useless. As for the youth, there's barely any girls left for him to use it on, and wouldn't have made any difference. All that's left is the bull and the raptor. I can't imagine his physical strength alone would be able to defeat Athena. The result would be the same as what happened with the raptor. The only option left would be the boar and the raptor. Athena could most likely just fly and outmaneuver the boar in the air. Godou knows that his chances were low, and that's why he accepted Guinevere's offer.

Im not disagreeing exactly, but I don't think it was completely hopeless either. She probably would've won and certainly had the advantage, but you make it sound so much worse than it was.
The wound wasn't debilitating, and would've healed if he kept the camel up. The camel was holding a stalemate pretty well, and he still has Ame no Murakumo's power and its variations on his authorities. He has the Bull, Boar, White Stallion, Raptor, and quite possibly the Goat (considering the damage she did before he arrived). Having the Warrior nullified hurts but he still has cards she knows nothing about. I was expecting something like Godou getting completely owned from your descriptions, which just didn't happen. |

Its all speculation of how the battle might have turn out, but Godou was countered every single time. He was back to corner regardless majority of the time. Also, this isn't the first time he been back to a corner. There are times, yes the protagonist being back in a corner makes good reading because you want to see how he will get out it, but we've seen this scenario many times. It is quite appalling that Godou doesn't seek to learn or gain more powers or use the ones he has effectively, training may not get him any authorities, but with increase use of his authorities he will get better using them or die down the side effects. Even without the Last King, there are still Gods that can pop out at anytime so he needs to prepare. Hoping in vol 9 we can see some glimpse where he will be thinking about this.

He used it to create an iron ring to imprison Wukong by using his attribute of steel and the power of his morphing staff against him.. So isn't there something he could do to Athena? Or maybe just use raptor to speed up close to her and chop her? Then again Kusanagi never swings for the kill right away even if he could .. |

The fight was far from over even if Athena would've probably won. You act like all he did was get smacked around and was about to be finished off. |

It's not even that really. Godou realized other people would suffer if he loses so he puts aside his pride. A sports game just doesn't compare, because that only effects himself. Besides, he isn't entirely at fault for "cheating" because he didn't have a clear grasp of what the spell did. He just used what he had at hand. In fact, this is one of Godou's good points imo. A win is a win.
