Recap
From the wiki page Z:
In Z’s reality, Celia asked Z if they had a deal, but Z said it wasn’t the case. Celia asked Z if they were mad about her beating Overkill, but Z replied they did not mind and, being in a good mood, offered Celia to walk out of the arena. Happily revealing to be the one responsible of disbanding the Freakers and thanking Celia for her help in doing so, Z summoned the Centuria archers to shoot a volley of arrows at Celia, who warped into her ghost form to phase through it and responded by firing lightning bolts at her opponent. However, Z easily absorbed the electricity and fired it back at a far greater power. As they reminisced about the contracts made with Ocapon, Boxing Wizard, Wanzu and Tredecima to create shadow copies, Z approached Celia who had once again phased into her ethereal form, and managed to see her wearing Ocapon’s glasses. Attentive to the fact Z had dodged the first shot of her electric gun, Celia attempted to catch Z off guard with another shot, which Z saw through - yet in the end, this was a distraction from the detective in order to pull her rival onto the ethereal plane as well. Being cut off from the other shadows, Z hesitated but ultimately decided to not summon Tredecima’s, while Celia offered to talk. Both observed the beauty of the other side, and Celia asked Z what their wish was. Confessing it was to always restore whatever was destroyed at the end of the tournaments, Z remembered the words of Dylan, Kome and Lenard when hearing it, and Lenard noticing Z’s mercy towards opponents. In the end, both agreed to end it in a fist fight - and Z emerged victorious.
In Celia’s canon reality, Celia and Z walked to the arena, with the first asking the latter if they would offer her a deal as per usual. Z denied that, given how much was at stake for the battle. Bantering with each other, with Z noting they would not hesitate to kill if needed and Celia responding her gun was faster than Z’s shadows, Berbie made the fight begin. Z summoned the Centuria army and shot arrows at Celia, who phased out of them in her ghost form. Shooting through the dust an electric discharge, Celia hit Z on the amulet, which absorbed the power just like Z planned. Z used the energy to shoot a chain of lightnings, which Celia narrowly dodged. Celia switched to silver bullets, while Z realized it would be difficult to hurt Celia in her spiritual form, and summoned the shadows of all of H.A.U.N.T., LOVE, Oji-san and Overkill for assistance, telling those who could hurt souls to remain. They all vanished except a confused LOVE (whom Z kicked out) and Cyrus, whom Z sicced at Celia’s ghost form. Materializing a rock from the ethereal plane, Celia crushed Cyrus, then she pulled a GIWTWM Videl-Gohan wrestling move on the hooded enemy and began pummeling them on the ground. Responding by electrifying Celia, Z pushed her off but could not retrieve the hat, and Celia warped again into her ghost form. Finding themselves at an impasse again, Z offered Celia a deal: an even fight with no shadows, no lightning, no gun, and remaining on the same plane. Celia agreed, but on the handshake pulled Z into the ethereal plane alongside her. Showing Z the beauty of the other plane, Celia went for a surprise uppercut, demonstrating the other world’s low gravity and sending Z flying. After this however, Z quickly adapted and began laying a beatdown on Celia. Completely beat-up, Celia let herself be punched a final time and deactivated the ethereal plane, causing both herself and Z to plummet under the normal gravity once again - with Z hitting out of bounds. Although at first seemingly dead, Celia ultimately proved to be alive, if badly hurt, and won the round.
In Dizzy’s reality, Dizzy began by congratulating Z’s handwriting, also being amazed at the shadow crab’s willpower. Z shot thunder at Dizzy, but she turned the electricity into a lasso and tied Z with it. She turned Z into a battery then and inserted them into an old radio. The shadow felt sad because the other shadows would laugh at them and no one even listened to radio anymore, admitting Dizzy’s win when she kindly planted them outside the arena.
In Z’s canon reality, the Shadow approached Dizzy with the same letter, stating it would attack after 30 seconds and that the real Z would join after being done with Celia. Dizzy added 0’s to the seconds, stopping the shadow from attacking - but the shadow got mad and began pushing Dizzy off the arena. Reality then stopped, with Dizzy observing it and eating cake, commenting on her woes during the tournament. The shadow broke out of the cinema-reality, angry and ready to fight Dizzy, who pied it. The shadow responded by electrocuting Dizzy, but this just made her burn in a cartoon way. Responding with a massive explosion, it seemed the battle had finished - but then the real Z appeared, aiming at Dizzy with a Senjata gun they had gotten from Overkill, with homing properties. Through contract-absorbing the gun’s powers, Z had made it so that anything they would throw would hit their mark - the top of the Bucket. After firing there, Z’s shadow pushed Dizzy, who flew upwards to hit out of bounds… However, Dizzy then created a clone and threw a rabbit at Z thinking it was its weakness. Z responded by destroying the Dizzy clone with lightning, but during that distraction failed to notice the real Dizzy creating an anvil and used it as weight to fall down from the shot. Dizzy then revealed her final power, a total fourth wall break domain. Taking over even the narration, Dizzy avoided falling upwards after Z shot her rope by holding onto the panel borders, and kicked a narration box at her rival, sealing them in her gemstone, then kicking the stone out of the comic. The Shadow Z responded by electrocuting the panel border they shared with Dizzy, electrocuting her as well with it, releasing the domain, and catching the gemstone-trapped Z before it hit the out of bounds.

Luigi and Stuffed Crust Crusaders (WON) VS Admiral Pizza (LOST).
In the Admiral’s reality, the Admiral faced the team in a Pizza eating contest out of anger of being left out from the Pizza team - both Luigi and the Admiral had participated in the American wars and considered each other enemies. The Crusaders began falling one after the other - Davok threw himself off the Bucket over believing himself a monster after eating too much pizza, Harry due to being caught cheating using a raccoon to eat the pizza for him, Morgan due to the pizza oil deactivating her nanomachines which she was also using to cheat, Celia not being able to handle so much sausage, and Vera dying in the timeskip with a robot skeleton she had left to eat for her running out of batteries. The Admiral messed with Luigi by eating pizza two-handed or cooling wine with ice, offending his Italian sensibilities. In the end, aeons passed as Luigi and the Admiral ate all the pizza in the world -there was no more food-, Soren became a survivor in a post apocalyptic world and went through seven timeskips, and ultimately realizing their war had ruined the world, both pizza men decided to make peace and forgive each other for their participation in the Civil War. As an angered Berbie demanded to see blood, Centurion then killed him with a punch, while Luigi and the Admiral shook hands and decided to just play videogames next.
In Luigi’s canon reality, the Bucket had been filled with sand and Luigi activated the headquarters battlemode, launching two tanks with his team to hunt down the Admiral who went at them on his own (he represented the American pizza flag while they were the Soviet pizzacutter flag). The Crusaders spent a night camping preparing for battle, Harry looking at his furry girlfriend, Morgan at her fangirl, Davok drinking gasoline and Celia running out of booze. Later Berbie waited, and noticed the fight had begun, the tanks shooting at the Admiral who dodged the bullets. Morgan put her nanites on the next shot, and when the Admiral dodged it they grabbed him. Using his arm power then, Harry summoned not a sword but a giant pizza cutter against the Admiral, who punched it back at the man destroying the tank where Harry and Vera were in. Vera and Celia then began to shoot at him, with no effect - the distraction allowed Morgan to run and punch him in the stomach, launching him towards Davok who uppercut him and used his power to send him flying at max speed towards another pizza cutter summoned by Harry - with this combination, the Admiral was finally defeated and gave up, and the team saluted their leader Luigi. Meanwhile, a dejected Berbie gave a sigh as he was expecting for them to arrive to a regular pizza making competition.
