The big fight

The "Big Fight" arena is completed. Caesar and Cleopatra attend the chaotic tournament, together with Caesar's overbearing mother. Vitalstatistix names Obelix as interim chief so he can fight in his place. Asterix argues with Vitalstatistix that Obelix is not cut out to be a chief; after Obelix overhears this, he gets into a dispute with Asterix and ends up banishing him from the village. As the fight is about to start Cassius Ceramix is terrified to discover that his opponent will be Obelix. However, when Obelix is called upon to give a pre-fight speech he once again gets stage fright, without Asterix being present to help him: he faints on the canvas, and Cassius Ceramix is declared the winner.
