We see Hades predicting Buddha’s moves before his fight against Qin Shi Huang. He’s able to do so because of his experience and foresight.

  • Hades’ fighting style is centred on his Bident. He uses his weapon with substantial efficiency. He incorporates his Bident with different techniques to enhance the effect of his blows. 
  • Qin Shi Huang has a more diverse fighting style supported by his skills as a martial artist and his swordsmanship. He can also sense the Qi of humans and air bullets at others which obstructs their strength. 
  • Qin Shi Huang has more techniques than his opponent which puts him on a different level.
