Ragna The Bloodedge VS Yu Narukami

Description
Grey-haired, sword-wielding, stereotypical anime protagonists with exact opposite personality's, Ragna's exterior being rather foul-mouthed, tough, hot-headed and convinces himself that he doesn't need any protection from friends whatsoever (which is a result of his life basically being a living hell), but is actually shown to be much more caring than his appearance would suggest, while Yu is calm, polite and rather silent, and most of his power comes from his friends (and had extroadinary luck throughout his life; basically getting anything he wants practically thrown at him), while in later games he's shown to be much more sarcastic and rude than most would expect. Both have opposite beings inside their body, which is a result of two or more beings being fused together under specific circumstances, Ragna when fusing with Nu and falling in the Time Cauldron, results in them becoming the Black Beast itself, while Yu's ultimate Persona is Izanagi-no-Okami, which is a result of Yu's Social Links and choices in the game transforming Izanagi into his true self (and both Yu and Ragna are one half of the perfect balance in their universe, Yu's Persona Izanagi and Izanami being the perfect balance of Creation and Destruction, and Ragna with his brother Jin being the perfect balance of Ragna's 'darkness' because of the Black Beast, and Jin's 'light' because of his Power Of Order), and aside from that, have opposite movesets aside from their swordsmanship and unique 'engines' that allows them to bypass the faults of their moveset, Yu's Wild Card allowing him to summon multiple Persona's at once, instead of being limited to one Persona at a time, and Ragna's Idea Engine preventing the Azure Grimoire from slowly killing him. Yu's Magic being divine in nature, which is thanks to having Izanagi-no-Okami inside him, and Ragna's strikes being fueled by Seithr; radioactive energy produced from the Black beast, which he has a part of in the form of his right arm, which he uses to perform several moves that are primarily inspired by hell in some way, so this has the Ancient Magic VS Future Science theme to it. And both happen to come from sprite-based fighting game franchises that are considered spiritual succesor's of popular anime's, and both happen to have had a short-running anime/manga series that mainly built the plot of their games. (Persona primarily being based on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, mainly because of the whole 'fighting with your inner spirit' theme, characters, etc. And BlazBlue being the spiritual succesor of Guilty Gear, mostly because of the similar plot, characters, etc.)
