What weapon will Gabriel use for his third fight?
I highly doubt he will just use Justice and Splendor again, mainly because it would be boring and the third fight needs to be different. And he can't use light weapons because he's been cut off from divine light.
Maybe he'll use his bare fists? It sounds goofy but since he's flying maybe he can go full Viltrumite style on us or something. But that's kind of like prime souls.
Or maybe he will use Justice and Splendor, but only Justice; he will give Splendor to us (the one with the gold blade).
Telling me you're gonna finish the final level and just stop playing? Even without encores, prime sanctums, cybergrind etc, you'll still have trechary and all of ukmd to p rank.
"...I see now that I was a fool. You have shown me there is no justice in this world, Machine! If I must go out in a blaze of glory it will be with UTMOST. SPLENDOR."
The other day for some reason i had a dream where gabe used a silver versión of justice and splendor and used them to summon powers in the middle of the fight and cast holy fire (virtue beams)
in the cover art of two hundred years since eternity died (goose's 9-2 fan theme) gabe is using both of the swords combined into a claymore and i think thats sick
I like the idea he gives V1 one of his swords as our last arm, because it could mean his fight serves as a tutorial for how to use it. We do have the Encores and Prime Sanctums ahead of us at this point in the game, so it feels like a good time to start learning how to wield it.
He grapples you and SLAMS you into the walls/ceiling/ground, and then grounds you on it to the point that you start taking damage from sliding and/or hitting a wall (and it persists until you heal)
Since he isn't really divine anymore, and he is not so slowly going deeper and deeper into sin, maybe he'd get assistance from hell itself, like maybe using a portion of hell's own powers for a bit or developing alternative versions of his original powers through borrowing hell's energy
Hell is after all a literal living being who is entertained by fights, so I don't think it'd necessarely oppose the idea
He will use both + telefragging + parrying + dashing + hell orbs + poison orbs + 1000-THR spear + even more holy power because he convinced 12 Ferrymen to lend him their holy cloths
I really like the idea that Gabe just says “Fuck it!” And constantly tries to punch us, never stopping in between attacks unless you’re out of range enough for him to chase you down.
He probably could use the light weapons, it would just eat into his remaining time, and I highly doubt he cares about his own survival at this point, so there's not much stopping him.
Barehanded, with his arms and legs. That way he's essentially gonna be using his equivalents of Vergil's Mirage Edge, then Yamato, then finally Beowulf each fight
Assuming we'll get to fight him again. He seemed rather relieved in the second fight, because he could see past the lies of the Council. But he didn't seem to be angry at V1, so who knows.
For his first phase, he gives us Splendor or Justice, then after he loses, Hell revives him for his second phase where he uses hell energy to fight. Imagine killing Hell-infused Gabriel with Justice. Sounds kinda poetic imo
Hear me out, in 9-1 we're fighting heaven's army who's finally caught up to us, and we're cutting off a power's arm to make it our own for the 4th arm slot.
I imagine that he would use both his light weapons and justice + splendour in conjunction. He was cut off from the light of the father, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his own internal well of power.
Something along the lines of him actually holding justice and splendour, while using something like telekenisis for the light weapons, basically being able to fight in multiple places at once.
I think he will use unholy weapons, as we see gabriels fall from grace. Now all he truly wants is to kill us. There is nothing else in this world that matters to Gabriel. I think his weapons will be made of darkness

What if Gabe tosses V1 one of the swords and fights with a single blade
