A1: No striking below the belt, eh? Well, then, my belt shall be closer to my armpits than my navel, by Jove!
A2: Indeed? Then I shall also lift my spiked belt well above my, uh, tail?
A3: Uh, what if I wear a unitard sans belt? Can I axe you that question?

Did you know that the original Queensberry rules were actually silent about strikes below the belt? I guess a fight in 1871 could have legally included as many shots to the goolies as you could manage.

>2 EndofDiskOne: I did not know that.
Human here just needs to expand/relocate his belt to serve as a bikini top and he's safe.
Ax-man is suffering from no shield, and the dorkiest-looking outfit. Still, if his shirt's armor, he might be pretty effective. Just swing through some of the human's leg tendons.

Axe guy looks to be wearing bronze scale armour, which should be quite heavy, but also good protection against as sword.
The multi-spiked helmets look positively dumb, though; well suited to deflect what should have been a near miss onto your head.
The skull among the spare weapons on the lower right is a nice touch.

♫ One day he strode around the berm,
The guys so numerous they did swarm;
One chance to smite him on the thigh.
The devil take that blue-tail guy.
Jimmy crack corn, I don't care ... ♫

Also, our Ginger Hero needs to either stick or twist when it comes to his coiffure: Will it be a side parting, or will you grow it out into full hockey flo? The combination right now is pretty bad.
