Still not convinced that this idea would be the slightest bit amusing. For no reason other than 'so the challenge works', we have characters losing their abilities, only to regain them in a roundabout way that means they're still largely powerless. So what does this achieve, exactly, that leaving the characters with their powers with the same obstacles [i]wouldn't[/i]?

On top of that, I think Kane is the only guy buff enough to be a Jojo's character.7

From an IC perspective, what you're proposing is essentially having both my characters killed, then rolling with it anyway. All of Archer's powers above basic reinforcement stem from one thing: his very [i]soul[/i]. Everything he can do is an expression of what he [i]is[/i]. But you're proposing that this be entirely lost to facilitate a single idea, thus requiring an explanation for how a character's very identity just gets conveniently lost.

Suwako (who shall be appearing after this challenge), on the other hand, is entirely composed of faith. There is nothing supernatural about her; she's the result of faith directed in a general geographical region. To remove the supernatural from this is just to remove the character entirely.

I think you'd also KO Sorin, amusingly.
