Does a fistfight count as a duel?

I'm not saying it shouldn't be prosecuted, because, WTF, but when I saw the combination of "teen girls" "japan" and "duel" I was thinking that this fucknugglet turdburgler was somehow coercing two kids to fight each other with swords.

I am profoundly glad to hear that was not the case, don't get me wrong, but I think "dueling" is a bit... Dramatic a word to apply to a fistfight.

I think that some of the meaning got lost during the translation from Japanese to English

I know nothing about the Japanese legal system.

However I believe duel is correctly used in the English meaning of the word. The two met at an agreed time and place to resolve their dispute with fisticuffs. This was not a spontaneous bar room tussle.
