The referee's whistle pierced the air, signaling the start of the match. Uzui took the ball for Team Demon Slayer, his flashy dribbling immediately drawing attention.
"Let's make this a spectacle worth watching," Uzui grinned, launching forward with incredible speed.
Deku raced to intercept him, activating One For All: Full Cowling (30%). "Not so fast!" Deku leaped forward, blocking Uzui's advance with a well-timed tackle.
Deku passed the ball to Todoroki, who used his Half-Cold, Half-Hot quirk to create an icy path. Sliding effortlessly, Todoroki bypassed Inosuke, who lunged wildly but missed.
"You're way too reckless!" Todoroki smirked as he powered forward.
Before Todoroki could shoot, Akaza appeared in his path, his martial arts mastery allowing him to deflect the ball with a precise kick.
Akaza launched the ball toward Kokushibo, who used his Moon Breathing techniques to spin around Bakugo and Shigaraki.
"Get out of my way!" Bakugo roared, activating Explosion to propel himself toward Kokushibo.
Kokushibo smirked, his six glowing eyes narrowing. "You're strong, but strength without control is meaningless." With a swift sidestep, Kokushibo sent Bakugo flying past him, leaving the ball open for Douma.
Douma collected the ball, grinning as he created icy lotus blossoms to slow down Dabi, who was closing in with Blueflame.
Douma passed the ball to Tanjiro, who activated Water Breathing, Second Form: Water Wheel. Tanjiro spun through the air, carrying the ball with him as he launched it toward the goal.
Eraser Head reacted quickly, activating his Erasure quirk to nullify the technique, but Nezuko dashed forward, using her enhanced strength to redirect the ball.
The ball hit the back of the net, earning Team Demon Slayer the first goal.
"Goal! Demon Slayer leads 1-0!" Tanaka's voice echoed across the field.
The ball restarted with Team My Hero Academia. Hawks, freshly substituted in, used his Feather Blades to control the ball midair and pass to Deku.
Deku charged forward, dodging Inosuke and Uzui with fluid movements. "One For All: St. Louis Smash!" Deku shouted as he fired a powerful shot toward the goal.
Giyuu, who had substituted in for Nezuko, tried to block the shot using Water Breathing, Eleventh Form: Dead Calm, but the ball zipped past him.
"Goal! My Hero Academia ties it up, 1-1!"
Zenitsu came in as a substitute, replacing Douma for a burst of speed. As soon as the ball was in play, Zenitsu activated Thunder Breathing, First Form: Thunderclap and Flash, zooming past Hawks and Todoroki.
Zenitsu passed to Rengoku, who unleashed Flame Breathing, Ninth Form: Rengoku for a fiery shot. All Might leaped into the air, attempting to block it with raw power, but the flames proved too intense.
"Goal! Demon Slayer leads 2-1!"
Bakugo subbed back in for Hawks, and his explosive energy immediately made an impact.
"Move, you extras!" Bakugo roared, using Explosion to propel himself forward. He passed to Dabi, who used Blueflame To scorch the ground and create space.
Dabi's shot seemed unstoppable, but Kokushibo deflected it midair, sending the ball to Uzui.
Uzui sprinted down the field, executing a Sound Breathing maneuver to confuse Eraser Head and Shigaraki. Uzui passed to Giyuu, who used Water Breathing for a clean shot, scoring another goal.
"Demon Slayer extends their lead, 3-1!"
All Might refused to let his team falter. "I am here!" he declared, charging forward with renewed vigor. Using a combination of strength and precision, All Might passed to Deku, who activated Shoot Style for a pinpoint strike.
The ball flew past Rengoku, closing the gap to 3-2.
Todoroki followed up with another goal minutes later, tying the game 3-3 with a clever use of his ice and fire abilities.
With the match nearing its conclusion, both teams pushed their limits.
Tanjiro and Deku clashed repeatedly in the midfield, their relentless determination inspiring their teammates.
Rengoku broke the deadlock with a stunning display of Flame Breathing, scoring from an impossible angle to make it 4-3.
But Bakugo responded immediately, using Explosion to bypass Kokushibo and Uzui before blasting the ball into the net, tying the game 4-4.
In the final moments, Zenitsu activated Godspeed, his body becoming a blur as he stole the ball from Deku.
"Thunder Breathing, Seventh Form!" Zenitsu roared, his strike releasing a thunderous crack as the ball rocketed toward the net.
Eraser Head dived to block, but the ball was too fast, slamming into the back of the net.
"Goal! Demon Slayer wins, 5-4!"
The final whistle blew, and Team Demon Slayer erupted in cheers. My Hero Academia players approached their opponents, offering handshakes and words of respect.
Tanaka's voice boomed over the speakers. "Now get ready, teams One Punch Man v Hell's Paradise."
The woman sat back and looked at Tanaka. "Are you enjoying yourself, is this what you were looking for?"
"This is so much more than I expected. I love it so much. Everyone is so unique and different and each person has their own special abilities. I love it." Tanaka Exclaimed with stars in his eyes.
"But Mr Tanaka, who do you suppose is the best player so far?" Asked The Genie "well after these last few rounds we will surely find out I can't wait so let's just keep testing these players since every team is going to be mixed soon anyways."
The stage was set as two titanic teams emerged onto the pitch. Team Hell's Paradise stood ready, their deadly precision and mystical powers poised to clash against the overwhelming strength of Team One Punch Man.
Team Hell's Paradise:
Gabimaru, Sagiri, Chobei, Tenza, Shion, Yuzuriha, Nurugai, Fuchi, Mei, and Rien.

Team One Punch Man:
Saitama, Genos, Sonic, Garou, Bang, Tatsumaki, Fubuki, King, Metal Bat, and Atomic Samurai.
Substitutes: King, Mumen rider, and Fubuki.
The whistle blew, and the ball was in play. Gabimaru kicked off for Hell's Paradise, his movements fluid and deceptive as he darted forward.
Bang intercepted him immediately, his Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist flowing like a river as he dispossessed Gabimaru with ease.
"Not bad, old man," Gabimaru said, recovering quickly and stealing the ball back with a swift flip kick enhanced by his Ninjutsu: Flame Technique.
Gabimaru passed to Yuzuriha, who danced past Atomic Samurai with nimble footwork. "Too slow!" she teased, her kunai slicing through the air as a distraction.
Tatsumaki smirked from afar, lifting the ball with her Psychic Powers. "Playtime's over." She sent the ball rocketing toward Genos, who caught it midair with his metallic foot.
Genos unleashed a fiery blast to clear a path, passing to Garou. Garou spun into action, his Fist of Flowing Water, Crushing Rock allowing him to bypass Shion and Tenza with elegance
Garou feinted past Rien, who attempted to block him with vines, and unleashed a powerful shot that ripped into the back of the net.
"Goal! Team One Punch Man leads 1-0!" Tanaka's voice echoed.
Gabimaru growled. "That was too easy. Time to get serious."
Hells Paradise reset the ball. This time, Sagiri took control, her katana slicing cleanly through the air as she maneuvered past King, who froze in fear.
Sagiri passed to Shion, who activated his heightened senses to track Garou's movements and avoid interception. "You won't stop me," Shion said calmly as he sent the ball toward Rien.
Rien summoned a massive wave of floral energy, knocking Genos off balance and scoring with a powerful strike.
"Goal! Hell's Paradise ties it up, 1-1!"
The game intensified as both teams pushed their limits.
Tatsumaki attempted a long-range shot using her psychic powers, but Mei intercepted with her mysterious energy field, redirecting the ball to Chōbei.
Chōbei's raw strength allowed him to bulldoze through Metal Bat and Sonic, but his final shot was parried by Saitama, who effortlessly headbutted the ball away.
Saitama took control of the ball, shrugging off every attack from Hells Paradise with a bored expression. "This is too easy," he muttered, sending the ball flying into the net with a casual kick.
"Goal! One Punch Man leads 2-1!"
With their backs against the wall, Hells Paradise substituted in Mei, Fuchi, and Tenza for fresh energy. Mei immediately made an impact, using her strange powers to immobilize Tatsumaki and pass to Gabimaru.
Gabimaru activated the Ascetic Blaze, sending the ball soaring toward Rien. She trapped it expertly, weaving past Genos and Garou before firing a shot straight into the net.
"Goal! Hell's Paradise ties it 2-2!"
One Punch Man brought in Fubuki, Metal Bat, and King. Fubuki used her psychic powers to create a protective barrier, allowing Garou to dominate the midfield.
Metal Bat charged forward, his sheer physicality overwhelming Shion and Tenza. With a devastating swing of his bat, he sent the ball to Atomic Samurai, who executed a Quick Draw slash to score.
"Goal! One Punch Man leads 3-2!"
Yuzuriha took the game into her hands, dodging attacks with ease and using kunai to create space. She lobbed the ball to Tenza, who activated Swordsmanship Technique: Dance of the Falling Cherry Blossoms, sending the ball past Fubuki and into the net.
"Goal! Hell's Paradise ties it 3-3!"
The score remained tight as Rien and Garou scored for their respective teams, bringing it to 4-4. Both sides fought fiercely, their attacks becoming more creative and intense.
In the final moments, Saitama took control of the ball. Gabimaru and Rien tried to stop him, but his sheer power overwhelmed them. With a casual flick of his foot, Saitama sent the ball flying into the net, shattering the goalpost.
"Goal! One Punch Man wins 5-4!"
The whistle blew, and the match concluded with Team One Punch Man emerging victorious.
"That was fun," Saitama said, yawning. "But I'm hungry now."
Gabimaru nodded. "You're strong. We'll get you next time."
Tanaka's voice erupted again. "What an incredible match!
