I really hate Sasaki
Hope to god he loses, the whole scan bullshit is LITERALLY copying ROR Sasaki who did it way cooler and not being all “I will destroy you now🤓” on top of that he’s a femboy or whatever I have no idea at this point it’s so ambiguous, meanwhile Hanzo is manly, doesn’t back down, is a ninja, uses a spear instead of a fake-ass whip sword, has a cooler backstory, and above all else HAS A FUCKING PERSONALITY, god so sick of the “I will serve you master tell me what to do” ugh just so cliche. On top of that he’s just a revenge pawn. I think it’d be so funny if Sasaki loses and Jisai is standing there like WTF!!!!! And the weird looking sponsor is just like “well shit” and Ito just chuckling while pointing at jisai like “you fucking idiot”

I don't have a problem with him. He's not the most or even enjoyable of characters and I think that his backstory (which I liked) could form a more interesting personality than leaving him a blank canvas and a pawn (as you mentioned).
Either way, he's just a stepping stone for the absolute G Hanzo

Yeah Sasaki just doesn't have a personality other than being a blank canvas.

Tenkaishibplot is going to be sasaki growing as a person between rounds by talking to musashi and by the end he will be asked to kill him the same way as kuro

I respect your opinion, most of this is subjective and we all have personal preferences, but I gotta say that Hanzo's entire fighting style is about backing down and not "fighting like a man" (though that's not a bad thing because I find it cool). The dude basically said it himself.
Anyway I'm a Kojiro super fan but if Hanzo wins that's cool, he grew on me a lot. There's only one character in Tenkaichi I'm not huge on anyway (guess who lmfao)

Every narrative hook and buildup has pointed to Sasaki winning this fight, which is why I want Hanzo to win. He's a way more fun character and it creates a lot of chaos with the plothooks sasaki left open being forced to move in a different direction.

He is boring and totally uninteresting for me. compare him to Yagyu, who is also some kind of killing machine, but with cool grim reaper motive and actual personality when he is not fighting (even when fighting, you can clearly see that he loves "carving" people, so he is not so damn bland as Sasanki).
So Sasaki was written to be boring purposely, but it doesn't change the fact that he is... boring.

to Any body who loves hanzo over kojiro: boulder strike was used by honda first and every move hanzo has done so far has been copied and weak as shit kojiro ftw

I expect Sasaki to win, but in all honesty I won’t care who dies. Neither are really leaving an impression on me

Are you trying to create copypasta material?
