We bring you now the one-hundred and fifty-fifth duel to the death in the TEMPLE. OF. COOUUUUUUUUUUUURAAAAAAAAAAGE!!! This week's fight is between two deadly, parasitic and ridiculously controlling fiends found within the stomachs of sea creatures. Brace yourself and let's meet them now.

In the purple corner we have an enormous anemone found deep within the insides of the legendary deity Lord Jabu-Jabu. On the hero's quest to obtain the Zora's Sapphire, he plunges within the creature's stomach to find the missing Princess Ruto; however, she has lost the Sapphire, and requests our hero find it. On his path to do so, he finds this bio-electric creature and battles it, finally defeating it and returning Lord Jabu-Jabu to normal. Bio-electrifyingly exciting, THIS. IS. BAAAAAAAAAAAARIIIIIINAAAAAAAAAAAAADE!!!

In the light red corner is an ocular-oriented organism that has found its way into the sky spirit Levias. On our hero's journey to uncover the missing parts of the "Song of the Hero", he visits Levias, bringing an offering of Pumpkin Soup; however, the delicious treat has no effect, as Levias is possessed by this creature. After our hero defeats it, Levias is returned to his calm state. From the inside of a sky whale, THIS. IS. BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILOCYYYYYYYYYTE!!! Which one of these controlling creatures will succeed in their plight? Will one possess the other? Will they possess you, dear reader? And will we find out why it is they so much like whales? This is all up to you. Keep your mouths closed and LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!

Votes for Barinade

 * 1) I... er... still haven't started Skyward Sword But I've spent many times in Jabu Jabu's Belly and many times preventing going in there I WAS YOUNG! –  Jä  zz  i  16:29, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) It just seemed like a more interesting boss to me. --Nevermind0309 (talk) 23:13, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) I've just always enjoyed Barinade as a boss. More so then Bilocyte. Not that there was anything particularly wrong with Bilocyte I just like Barinade better. Oni Dark Link 01:37, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Why do I like him better? I don't know, but it's always nice to stick with the classics. Kapodaco! (talk) 06:18, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) Again, I'm supporting Ocarina, as it's been a while since I've seen an Ocarina character win. That and I can't get enough of Barinade's death animation. So... Peculiar... -- Abrahamlinkoln  ( talk ) 13:59, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) Barinade is more memorable to me, even if it's damn near impossible to lose the fight unlike Bilocyte. I always imagined I killed a corrupted vital organ of Jabu-Jabu's, thus causing his death in the future. And casually sidestepping bio-electricity, like some BAMF straight from The Matrix, is awesome. Death sequence, also legendary in its grossness. The Bilocyte fight was too gimmicky, and perhaps the least memorable fight from its game (though this may owe to its non-appearance in the Lightning Round). --Auron  Kaizer !  01:15, December 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) If Barinade did more damage, I'd genuinely have had trouble from it, whereas Bilocyte's battle was just... too simple, too small scale once I figured out what to do. More like a miniboss, but actually less deadly. Also Barinade (sounds like a sports drink, hah) had a pretty awesome look and the best ever death sequence to squick people out! WOT FUN, EH? --Naxios10 (talk) 12:00, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * 8) OOT that's why--Oathkeeper250 (talk) 14:36, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * 9) Bilocyte just didn't seem like a very interesting fight to me. Barinade, on the other hand, made me think, "oh my god, he's actually shooting electro-beams at me! And wtf, he's using those baris as a shield and weapon at the same time! and ewwww, he swelled up and exploded in a shower of green goo!" and is one of my personal favorite bosses. yay for parasite gore!

 * 1) I actually had trouble fighting him. As for the other guy, the battle may have been the easiest in the game; it was even easier than some enemies (and it was a late game battle, too!). That's including the rematches.
 * 2) ARGH!! Barinade!! He almost made me throw the controller to the tv in anger!! I beat him in the end with only a 1/4 of a heart left.. That eye thingy was not hard, as soon as I figured out how to land on the wind fish' head.. Barinade for the win!!  I vote for Barinade because he is the only boss that really made me mad. and because i have no idea who the other is.
 * 3) No clue who the other guy is. Barinade was really easy but still fun.
 * 4) Never played SS sooooo as much as this guy pissed me off when i fought him BARINADE BARINADE BARINADE (ahhhhhhhh) *Domin8or*
 * 5) Barinade is my favorite boss from OoT actually, and I have never heard of the other guy. Oh and message to whoever keeps track of this Temple of Courage, UPDATE THE FIGHTS EVERY WEEK, not every month! the Beatrux and Fabulously rich family were fighting for like more than a month.
 * 6) Barinade all the way. OoT is my fave, and I'm only part way through SS. Practically didn't sleep last night because I didn't realize how late it was while I was playing. But still Barinade. Jabu-Jabu was one of my fave dungeons. Plus Ruto's a babe.
 * 7) I don't know the other guy but Barinade was one of my favorite boss battles in OoT. Someone who I don't know or someone I love? Yeah, my choice is pretty clear here.
 * 8) YES, I actually know who Bilocyte is. But he was kinda too easy for a boss fight as you've traveled this far. I mean, The Imprisoned's second battle was way harder than this! Plus, Barinade knew to protect herself with a rotating jellyfish barrier and it was a great question of timing. For Bilocyte, you only had to swing in the right direction, and SOMETIMES (still very rarely), he was trying to trick you. BARINADE ALL THE WAY!!!
 * 9) NOTE: I'm really sorry if I already voted, I have a really bad memory, but BARINADE FTW! I have no idea who the hell the other guy is.
 * 10) Barinade was definitely the best boss of the first three, to beat him you have to constantly move, and focus. It kept me on the edge everytime and was definitely better than Bioctyle

Votes for Bilocyte

 * 1) I have Skyward Sword, but I haven't gotten to this point in the game yet. I think Jabu Jabu's Belly is the easiest dungeon in Ocarina of Time, including the boss, Barinade. But I think Barinade just isn't a cool boss. --Hoshii no Kaabii (talk) 00:59, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Bilocyte actually has an eye. How can Barinade see Link? --Ceiling Master (talk) 17:47, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Bilocyte was actually fun and Barinade was really boring, plus I hated Inside Jabu-Jabu's belly. -Minish   Link   19:37, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Bilocyte was easy but genuinely entertaining. Barinade, despite looking awesome, was a relatively boring boss fight. Also, the effects of Bilocyte were at least obvious, as opposed the mind control of a personality-less fish that loiters around a pond all day. Xykeb  Yvolix   Zraliv  05:48, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) Barinade is one of my least favorite bosses in the series. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 16:29, December 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) Inside Jabu-Jabu's belly is my least favorite OoT dungeon, and Barinade is part of the reason I never cared for it. Jedimasterlink (talk) 08:21, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * 7) They were both easy, but Bilocyte was at least fun to battle. Lord Fabulous (talk) 22:00, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * 8) I thought that Barinade was a lot harder, but I really hated how Jabu-Jabu just sat there after you fought to free him. He was less of a diety and more of an overgrown whale stuck in a pond that the local populace decided to worship. Levias on the other hand, is actually pretty awesome, and you didn't have to go in him to save him.  Ike  02:19, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * 9) I hated soooo much Barinade. It was a pain, but at least Bilocyte is not annoying. User:Pucho00
 * 10) Bilocyte has had a great come from behind. User:Coolkat100, 10:58, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * 11) It is better to fight something on a flying whale than inside an obese fish. --Birdman5589 (talk) 15:25, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

 * 1) Well, I have to say, Barinade gave me more of a challange, because of cruddy aiming with the Boomerang and that the game makes you have almost the same amount of heart containers as you start off in Skyward Sword, BUT! Bilocyte  makes you think before you swing, then learns to soon hide parts of himself from attack, when Barinade is just the classic "cut the ropes with the bommerang then hack away" system that reappers later in the Wind Waker when you battle Kalle Demos and Puppet Ganon. Bilocyte has my vote.
 * 2) Bilocyte pissed me off a hell of a lot more than Barinade.
 * 3) This boss is from Skyward Sword! That's an automatic WIN in my book. Also, you have to think about the angle of your sword before yo strike. Also, Jabuu-Jabuu just grossed my out! Lets see... inside a wierd whale-like thing that doesn't help you at ALL, or a cool battle in the sky, followed by a fun, quick fight to help a spirit who, in turn, will help you? Hmmm, I wonder?


 * 1) I love the location. Fighting in the sky and on a whale? Awesome. Only thing I don't like is that you have to use Scrapper to activate the boss fight.
 * 2) I would have to go with Bilocyte because I'm currently in love with Skyward Sword. Also because the thought of fighting a giant parasite inside of and even bigger fish deity's stomach didn't appeal to me. Whale deities are much better:-).

While the colors probably need to be fixed, and the intro probably (really) needs tweaking, like normal. And it's Wednesday not Sunday, but at least it's changed. –  Jä zz  i  16:30, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * At least. I did like the intro, though. Also, I thought it wasn't getting changed because everyone was really busy with holiday stuff and whatnot. -(Anonymous) 19:40, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * That might be part of it. AuronKaizer, who usually manages the ToC stuff, hasn't been around for a few days, and since it's the holiday season and all, it's not really out of the ordinary. Jedimasterlink (talk) 20:24, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * The past few weeks I've been doing it to make sure it actually gets through and is done regularly. But I was preoccupied with my bass and the holiday. –  Jä zz  i  21:52, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

Anon 5 for Barinade, you have to realize that people have lives. I've been trying to get it so that it updates every week. If you're going to complain about it not being updated, perhaps make an account and get in a good stance to be able to change the fights. –  Jä zz  i  13:02, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Apparently he/she wasn't around for Week 149. -(Anonymous) 19:40, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Apparently. Besides, 17 days < a month. That's still more time between fights than we like, but we've been making progress. Jedimasterlink (talk) 08:20, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

Temple of Courage was changed a week ago today. I figured I'd change it out on the weekend to make it run smoother and more consistent a time change. –  Jä zz  i  18:32, January 4, 2012 (UTC)
