The Battle Royal: Who Would Win If Disney Princesses Fought in the Hunger Games Without Magic?

Imagine a scenario where the beloved Disney Princesses face off in a version of the Hunger Games without any magical powers. Who would emerge victorious?

Some argue that Elsa should be included, given her supreme ice powers. However, I’m excluding her from the competition as she would have an unfair advantage due to her ability to control ice and snow.

Why Mulan Is the Contender to Watch

My money is on Mulan. While Merida excels with a bow, she isn’t trained for real combat, whereas Mulan is. She is a skilled fighter and has trained extensively in hand-to-hand combat, making her a formidable opponent in the Hunger Games.

Introducing the Official List of Disney Princesses: Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida, and Moana.We can immediately eliminate Snow White, Cinderella, Ariel, Belle, Tiana, Jasmine, and Aurora as they are not known for their combat abilities. Meanwhile, Rapunzel could be a contender if her death song from her animated series can still be considered, though it’s uncertain if it would factor in the Hunger Games scenario without magic.

This leaves us with Moana, Merida, Mulan, and Pocahontes. Moana, with her expertise in sailing and archery, could be a survivalist, but Mulan and Merida are trained in swordsmanship and archery, respectively. Pocahontes, while a skilled survivalist, may not have the combat experience needed for such a challenge.

The Final Two: Merida and Mulan

Given the remaining contenders, the final fight is likely to be between Merida and Mulan. If Merida has access to a bow, she’s likely to win due to her familiarity with archery. However, if no bow is available, Mulan would be the preferred choice as she excels in close-quarter combat.

Would Any Disney Princess Participate?

It’s hard to imagine any Disney princess willingly participating in such a brutal event, even those like Mulan or Merida who excel in combat. The answer is that the princesses, as a collective, would refuse to participate. The very concept of the Hunger Games is so unethical that it would be unjust for any decent human to consent to such an event.

The Case for Kida

Kida is the only character from around those times who has slaughtered people with her own hands. Mulan and Merida, despite their combat prowess, haven’t actually killed people. So, Kida would likely have the upper hand in the battle.

Kida’s history of killing multiple intruders with her own hands, along with her extensive experience, makes her a formidable opponent. She’s also highly intelligent, adept at forming traps, and has proven herself to be a master tracker, leading to a significant advantage in the Hunger Games scenario.

With such skills, Kida not only has the experience to track and survive but also the ability to create complex traps, making her the most likely victor in a battle without any magical assistance.
