And Lung fucking BEAT Leviathan in hand to hand combat. He was the biggest game in a city in the top 10 for cape population in the US. He is known for breaking out of Yangban captivity. He has fought an Empress. More importantly, Lung beat Levi in Japan, ie, where Akaihana has been head of a cape team for a decade and a half, and the most famous Levi fight generally (aside from his death of course), and going by how she referred to Janus by name even after tapping GU, GU's power wasn't interfering. There are zero reasons she shouldn't know Lung by both name and advanced stage of power.
Lung was soooo famous in Japan that the Japanese capes asked him who the hell he was in his interlude.
Lung turned to look at the speaker. A woman in a yellow and black Sentai costume.
"Yes," he answered, his voice a rumble. His power had granted him additional strength, durability, regeneration and control over fire even in his ordinary form, but the changes to his body had altered his voice.
She glanced at the fight, as if unsure whether she should be participating or talking to Lung, "You're a yankee?"
....
His enemy couldn't be killed. Lung had become something more terrifying than the Endbringer, but there had been nobody to see. None of the public to recognize him, to respect and fear him.
He sank, feeling a kind of despair. Too tired to move, he touched bottom.
Alexandria found him in the depths and brought him to the surface.

He lost to Leviathan and had to be saved from drowning by Alexandria. Few witnesses.
Chances are, the only reason there were rumors in BB of Lung fighting Leviathan is because Lung spread the news himself. Or through his men.
Lung would be just as well known to Akaihana as Hookwolf and Night/Fog. Just someone else that Khepri defeated whose powers are of no use to her.
Janus, on the other hand, is someone she's met, tried to seduce, and they're both mutual friends/acquaintances/something with Victoria. Also, she has his blood sample for her suit's replication abilities to give her an easy source of teleportation when she doesn't need to move entire armies at once.
Sometimes, a fixfic means fixing things. Other times, it means calling attention to other really stupid shit.
Glaistig Uaine would say 'concubine', not 'prostitute'.I'm kinda amused that Akaihina's faire name is the Prostitute and how Valkyrie stumbled over it. Also Lustrum tearing off Scion junk was pretty ridiculous. As we count down to the end of this tale, I like to just give a thanks to our verified dick, even in this climatic battle you still take the time to give your minor characters character.
But thanks for noticing that I care about character details.
Truly, the best strategy. As any conspiracy nut will tell you.
If the Apollyonverse prompt is any indication... they don't. They simply analyze, decide who's superior, and the weaker submits to the stronger.Scion is still bored. I can only imagine what true Entity vs Entity combat is like.
