Before The Battle[]
Morning Star: In battles in fiction against villains, heroes should always the means to fight and stand tall.
Judge: And in some fictional verses, the means to fight are...Your sidekick, and your right hand man, which in turn leads us to those 12 unique heroes.

Morning Star: And it's our job to analyze every single detail of every single 1 of those 12 to see who will win...A DEATH BATTLE.
Yato[]
Morning Star: Ever wondered how gods are created?
Judge:...Huh?
Morning Star: In Japan, there is some kind of a belief that humanity are the 1s to create gods, just by imagining them into existence. And this is the case in the Noragami verse.
Marie: Gods are created particularly to help humans, since they are made by humans' prayers. However, 1 human male in particular, loathed the gods for taking the life of the woman that he loved, which caused him some serious trouble with the Heavens itself.
Justice: Driven mad by grief, that human created a god out of his thoughts, but unlike the gods that were created for the sake of humans, this god was created for the sake of killing every single god in existence, and he went by the name of Yaboku.
Judge: Sooner in his life, Yaboku would encounter a soul that was led astray in order for it to become his own weapon partner. The person was a woman who was branded the name of Sakura by Yaboku, and then she saw him killing humans and collecting their ears, to which she tried to help him understand life even more.
Morning Star: Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever, as Yaboku was tricked to reveal Sakura's true name to her, which turned her into an Ayakashi, where he was forced to kill her at that time. Ever since then, Yaboku has distanced himself from the man who created him, which he knew as his father, and sought out to become a God of Fortune instead of being a God of Calamity, taking the name that Sakura gave to him before death, which was...Yato.
Marie: With that out of the way, let's get to the real deal! Yato possess superhuman characteristics. He's strong enough to slice down an entire room and even hold back his strength against Takemikazuchi, who can create a 17.55 Megatons of TNT storm. He is also fast enough to dodge bullets and cut them from thin air, cut lightning at Mach 4030 and even keep up with Bishamonten, who can intercept lightning at 1.02% the speed of light. Finally, he is durable enough to survive being blown up high to the air, being blown through walls, being struck down by lightning and sent flying several kilometers away, and even being smashed on the head by a glass bottle hard enough to shatter it, before being repeatedly stabbed by its broken top, and he was still alive!
Morning Star: This is due to his god psychology, as Yato cannot be killed by natural means, and this gives him a healing factor that allows him to regenerate from anything that could kill a human being, like being stabbed lethally or possibly decapitation.
Judge: But what makes Yato special as a god is his ability to turn dead souls into weapons. In his case, his weapon is a young child that can transform into a katana...Wait what?!
Justice: In the Noragami verse, gods have the ability to transform dead souls of humans into weapons, which is by giving them a personal name of their own, and a name where they call to make them transform into their own weapon form.
Morning Star: This entity is called a Shinki, the right hand of a god, which manifests as either a weapon or a support device to help the god to fight off enemies and Ayakashi. Speaking of which, Ayakashi are simply corrupted souls of dead humans, which lost their way to the afterlife, which by time would cause it to corrupt and transform into an entity of darkness. And for this, a god needs a Shinki by their side to exorcise Ayakashi and send the wandering souls to the afterlife.
Marie: In Yato's case, his Shinki is Yukine, a 14 year old young boy, who when is called by the name Sekki, he transforms into a badass Odachi with bandages wrapping its hilt loosely. With it, Yato can kill even Shinigamis, which are souls that takes the souls of humans to the afterlife. Also, Yato holds a badass moveset under his shoulders. Like Zan, which is the finishing blow to exorcise any Ayakashi, and Zetsu, which is a technique that allows Yato to cut all ties and bonds 1 has with something or someone, which serves as both memory manipulation and power nullification.
Justice: That's not all. Yato can actually teleport to any place he likes or has any connections with. Not to mention that he can also possess people by taking control over their souls, which was the thing that he did with Hiyori, possessing her and causing a commotion around her school that branded her the title of a superhero.
Judge: There's more to it. After some events with his fight against Bishamonten, Yukine got broken in battle while trying to protect Yato, and this act of bravery and loyalty caused him to evolve into a Blessed Vessel, which is the evolved form of a Shinki, and in this form, he takes the form of a dual katana with the same bandages, and the damage dealt by them is 10 fold.
Morning Star: But that's just nothing. In fact, that was a demonstration of Yato's 1st Shinki. We are here to talk about his 2nd Shinki, the most powerful 1. Later on in the manga, Yato was forced to take Bisahmonten's Blessed Vessel, Kazuma, in order to fight off his own father and kill him. In Yato's case, Kazuma's name is changed to Kazune, with his vessel name being Rekki.
Marie: Once called by his vessel name, Kazune turns into a divine garment shaped as a tracksuit that differs slightly from his original attire, a long scarf around his neck, boots, and pair of gloves, as well as a cool katana with the ability to be combined with its sheath to transform into a bow and arrow, which can fire and spam infinite amounts of fire arrows at the opponent.
Justice: Kazuma himself is a capable Shinki even by himself. He was once able to harm Takemikazuchi's lightning form with his bare hands, and he has cool skills as well. Like Boundary, which is a technique that can be used as either a shield or a cutting ability that can cut through non-corporeal entities and even gods themselves.
Marie: There is also Umbra, which allows Kazuma to manipulate his surroundings to manipulate the perception of others and mess with their 5 senses, Restraint, which allows him to bind a target in their place, Resound, which is a technique that allows others to confess what the caster wants, and Domination, which is durability-negation technique that does not focus on physical strength, as it allows Kazuma to harm the weapons of other opponents, disable them, and even outright nullify their powers, which makes it the ace in the hole no matter how much strong his opponent is. Finally, Kazuma is able to increase the power of his own Shinki attacks through a chant, which allowed Yato to instantly overpower Takemikazuchi in a few hits.
Morning Star: Even with all of this, Yato still holds sever flaws. His connection is solely tied with his own father, and if his father dies, or if he is forgotten, he will cease to exist. In addition to this, a Shinki completely forgets about their past lives upon being in the possession of a god, and if they, by some way, found about their past lives, they will instantly turn into an Ayakashi, as well as the fact that the emotions of a Shinki can effect their own god, where negative emotions would cause the phenomenon of Blight to be occur on a god, causing sever injuries and eventually, death. Finally, when the Shinki is in human form, the god is deprived of a weapon required to fight.
Judge: Even so, Yato is still a badass god. Even with his stupid tracksuit, and his tendency to not confess his love to Hiyori, who she herself admitted that she was in love with him, Yato still held his name up high as 1 of the strongest, if not the strongest in his verse. And 1 day, he will shine...As a God of Fortune.
"My silence doesn't mean that I quit, It simply means that I don't want to argue with people who just don't want to understand"
Issei Hyoudou[]
Morning Star: In the seemingly peaceful country of Japan, several supernatural entities dwelled on the face of the Earth in the form of humans.
Judge: And for some reason, the females are fond being stripped away from their clothes...For some reason...
Justice: Those entities are actually Devils, Angels and even Fallen Angels, with the 3 factions being on each other's throats at every single second. Even the Fallen Angels faction is hoping to wag out a war after God himself was dead.
Marie: Wait! God is dead?! Then how is the universe not destroyed?!
Morning Star: It's due to Michael, the strongest of God's Archangels barely maintaining the balance of the existence of the universe. Though he couldn't do anything regarding the balance between good and evil, which actually caused some...Decent events to occur.
Justice: With that out of the way, there was actually a 4th faction that was not on the side of any 1 of the 3 previous factions. This faction was the Dragon faction, which was actually a special 1, as this faction is able to slay gods, which caused the 3 factions to seal 2 specific dragons away into devices called Sacred Gears, which can be used by humans. Those 2 dragons are the Boosted Dragon Ddraig, and the Dividing Dragon Albion.
Judge: When the war between the 3 factions occurred, both Ddraig and Albion were angered at the fact that their fight was interrupted, which caused both dragons to attack the leaders of the 3 factions.
Marie: This led to their eventual fates: The 3 factions cooperating together to destroy the bodies of the 2 Heavenly Dragons, and seal them off in Sacred Gear, with Albion's soul being sealed inside the Divine Dividing Gear, and Ddraig's soul being sealed inside the Boosted Gear.
Morning Star: Hundreds and hundreds of centuries would pass, with both of Ddraig and Albion meeting with their countless hosts that faced against each other. That is, until Albion became the companion of the Human-Devil Hybrid Vali Lucifer, and Ddraig became the companion of a former human-turned Devil that went by the name of...Issei Hyoudou.
Justice: A 17 year old, 24/7, hot-blooded, perverted high school student, Issei Hyoudou was born as a normal human, until his interaction with 1 girl named Yuma changed his life forever. This girl, who tricked him into thinking that she was his first girlfriend, and even making him loving her, turned out to be the Fallen Angel that went by the name of Raynare, who proceeded to kill him, before disappearing.
Judge: On death's doors, Issei was reincarnated into a Devil by Rias Gremory, who happened to be a Devil herself, with her father being the 1 to control Kuoh Academy, the school Issei is attending to. And thus, begun his adventure.
Morning Star: As a Devil, Issei's strength skyrockets to the extent that he can punch through walls, lift a huge rock on his back with Rias on top of said rock, blast holes in mountains, destroy a replica of Kyoto, blow down islands, fight against Satans who can blow countries off the map several times, and even hold the potential to destroy the Earth.
Marie: He's fast enough to dodge lightning at Mach 209, keep up with those who can react to light at 1.3% the speed of light, and even outrun light itself. He is also durable enough to tank attack that can bust down mountain, islands and countries.
Justice: With that out of the way, let's move to what makes Issei special. As you all know, Issei is the wielder of the Boosted Gear that holds the soul of the Welsh Dragon Ddraig. This thing allows him to double his power up every 10 seconds until he reaches his limit. And it holds techniques with them. Like The Dragon Shot, a powerful blast of demonic energy that can vaporize a hole into a mountain, Flame Blaze, a powerful breath of fire, Dividing Wyvern Fairy, which allows him to summon white wyverns that can either half the power of its target upon touching them, or it can boost the powers of comrades, Transfer, where he can transfer his boosted energy to a comrade or an object to strengthen it, Penetrate, which allows his attacks to bypass any kind of defenses, even if its for non-corporeal beings, Promotion, where he has the ability to use the powers of other Evil Pieces, like the strength and defense of a Rook, the speed and agility of a Knight, the massive magic power of a Bishop, and the balanced combination of a Queen, and he has the ability to turn his limbs into that of a dragon and even grow wings, granting him immense strength.
Judge: But that's only the icing on the cake. Issei's Boosted Gear can grow into an armor, which is the Scale Mail, but after gaining access to the True Queen, and convincing the past owners of the Boosted Gear, Issei gained the ability to evolve the armor even further, turning it into the Cardinal Crimson Promotion. In this form, Issei's powers are far more greater than what they were. With cool techniques backing them up. Like The Star Sonic Booster, where his armor becomes more thinner in appearance, which gives him a massive boost of speed, Solid Impact Booster, where the armor becomes heavier and thicker to increase both strength and defense, with the ability to make his arms even more larger in size for massive hits, Crimson Blaster, where he releases the cannons inside the wings of his armor, before firing beams that can vaporize anything in its wake and even warp space-time, and The Longinus Smasher, which is the ultimate move of the his armor, which allows him to launch a massive beam of energy from the jewel on the chest area. He can also use a move called Tail Blade, where he can elongate the tail part of his armor, and attack with it, with Ascalon II's blade being inside it, where Ascalon II is an upgraded version of the original Ascalon, which is a sword used for slaying dragons.
Morning Star: That's not all. When overwhelmed by anger, Issei can unintentionally enter another armor mode. The Juggernaut Drive. This armor set is the same as his Cardinal Crimson Promotion, but it leaves Issei in a state of blind anger unless calmed down.
Marie: THIS ISN'T EVEN HIS FINAL FORM!
Judge: Whoa! You scared the heavenly daylights out of me!
Marie: Hehe...Sorry. I just love this part.
Justice: Stupid jokes aside, After borrowing the Ophis' power of Infinity, Issei gained the Diabolos Dragon Deification Armor, or DxD Mode, which was really powerful, but it lasted for 3 minutes and it will always reduce its time limit with 10 seconds with each move Issei took. But after drinking the Amrita potion and surviving its lethal aftereffects, Issei switched to the Pseudo Diabolos Dragon Deification Armor, or Pseudo DxD Mode, which while weaker than the original, it had a time limit of 88 minutes. This mode here gives Issei protection to dragon slaying weapons, and it gives him the ability to summon Ddraig himself into the battlefield to help him. He also got a new moveset. Like The Breast Power Wave, a beam of dragon energy that when it makes contact with females, it halts their movements, Infinity Blaster, where Issei can fire powerful beams from the cannons inside the 4 wings of his armor that can turn half of a land that held mountains, rivers, valleys and trees into nothing more than a wasteland, which yielded around 3 Teratons of TNT, and The Blazing Inferno of Scorching Flames, which is a breath of flames that can never be put out unless the target is reduced to ashes or is disintegrated, where said flames can engulf an entire island.
Marie: And his latest form still holds the top place: The Apocalypse AnswerArms, or the AxA Mode, which is the result of Issei combining with his familiar Ryuuteimaru, who can manifest Great Red's aura and powers, which makes this form hold the power to destroy the whole Earth, and Issei himself used this form to defeat Tartarus, and it holds 3 additional techniques. Such as The Revelation Barrier, which is a strong barrier of magic, Revelation Blade, which manifest blades of aura known as Apocalypse Ascalons, and Revelation All-Range Blaster, which manifests dozens of cannons to fire off energy blasts of aura that were strong enough to destroy the artificial space created by Dimension Lost.
Morning Star: Even with all of this power, Issei is still fallible. As a Dragon and a Devil, Issei takes immense damage from dragon slaying weapons and holy objects. He is also an extreme pervert, with moves like Dress Break and Pallingual are ineffective with males, where it stems from his desire to strip females opponents rather than defeating them. In addition to this, his Cardinal Crimson Promotion Armor depends on his own stamina, where it can be disabled should his stamina runs out, leaving him with a few pf his arsenal. There is also the fact that his DxD Mode lasts for only 80 minutes, before it falls off, and his AxA Mode lasts for a few minutes, where Issei is left immobile for a couple of days, and Ryuuteimaru will be disabled and unable to help his master after this form runs out.
Judge: But nevertheless, Issei is still rising in potential, up to the extent that he became a High-Class Devil and is even close to become an Ultimate-Class Devil, with him being taught to reach his ExE Mode, so in the future, we will see even more surprising stuff from...The Red Dragon Emperor.
"I'm fine with being a fool! If there's no way I can win with my abilities, then I'll stick with being a fool to the end!"
Naruto Uzumaki[]
Morning Star: The 5 Elemental Nations, a peaceful place due to its 5 rulers. With those lands and what between them being inhabited by Ninjas.
Judge: Ninjas here are just a concept made by the Sage of The Six Paths, who sealed his mother, who had the Chakra of the whole world inside her, in the moon alongside his brother. Where the younger brother went to the moon to guard the hollow body of his mother, and the Sage of The Six Paths having the Chakra of his mother inside him.
Marie: Years would pass, and the Sage would die, but before his death, he split his Chakra into 9 beasts, where said beasts were known by not only their exotic appearances, but also by the number of their tails, with the 1-Tail being the weakest, and the 9-Tails being the strongest, with those who are having any of the Tailed Beasts being sealed inside of them being called Jinchuuriki.
Justice: Fast forwarding, Kushina Uzumaki, the Jinchuuriki of the 9-Tails at that time, and the last pure survivor of the Uzumaki clan, met the young prodigy Minato Namikaze, before both fell in love with each other, and had a kid where in her delivery room, Kushina was attacked by a mysterious man, who ripped the 9-Tails off Kushina, and caused it to attack Konoha, which caused Minato, who was the 4th Hokage at that time, to stand up against it, and having no way to take the 9-Tails down, he decided to seal it away, sealing half of it inside of himself, and sealing the other half inside his newborn son, and before the sealing was complete, The 9-Tails stabbed his nail forwards trying to kill the child, but Minato and Kushina sacrificed themselves for their son, being stabbed instead of their own child, which caused the sealing of the other half of the 9-Tails being complete, leaving the kid with only his name, which was...Naruto Uzumaki.
Morning Star: Living a life of discrimination and jeopardy due to his status as the Jinchuuriki of the 9-Tails, Naruto's life was rough, but he went through lots of adventures and made a name for himself eventually, before mastering the powers of the 9-Tails, now known as Kurama, and eventually becoming the 7th Hokage of Konoha.
Judge: Naruto is without a doubt, 1 of the greatest marks in all of the Shonnen Jump meta series. He so powerful to hold enough Chakra that allowed him to blow down a freaking hole in the moon, create massive explosions that spanned over countries and continents and even defeat a being that was going to launch the moon onto the Earth.
Marie: He's fast enough to dodge kunais, lightning, and even laser beams at 2.88 times the speed of light. And he is durable enough to survive an attack that can split the moon in half.
Justice: But what makes Naruto special is his arsenal. You see, as a Ninja, Naruto holds access to the power source called Chakra. In real life, Chakra is the inner power that stabilizes both mind and body. In the Naruto verse, Chakra is used to utilize techniques known as Jutsus, where they can be either elemental or being used to strengthen the physical capabilities of 1's body. In Naruto's case, he specializes in Wind Release techniques.
Morning Star: But before that, we have to talk about the kinds of Jutsus that Ninjas have. 1st is Taijutsu, which is hand-to-hand combat, Ninjutsu, which is utilizing techniques with 1's Chakra, and Genjutsu, the art of illusion manipulation.
Judge: That aside, let's talk about Naruto's Jutsus. 1st and foremost, The Shadow Clone Jutsu, which is a forbidden Jutsu created by the 2nd Hokage. With it, Naruto can create duplicates of himself, where he can create over 1000 at once, The Rasengan, Naruto's signature move, where he can create a spiraling ball of Chakra in his hand which allows him to blow away everything around him upon contact and it can be created with varied sizes, from being able to blow away trees to being a capable of carving a hole in a mountain, and The Rasenshuriken, where Naruto uses his Wind Release Affinity to create a spiraling shuriken of Chakra that can destroy anything in its wake at molecular level.
Justice: Still, Naruto still possess several forms with even more techniques. 1st is the Sage Form, where Naruto harnesses Nature Chakra in order to gain access to Chakra from the realm of Mount Myboku. With that form, Naruto can throw attacks that will connect even if they missed. This is due to the aura that comes out from the passive effects of mastering Senjutsu Chakra. With this form, Naruto has the ability to execute the Rasengan Barrage, where he slams 2 Rasengans into the opponent in his hands, and Sage Art: Massive Rasengan Mega Barrage, where he creates 100s of clones with each clone having a fully charged Rasengan in both of their hands.
Marie: This form pales in comparison in front of Naruto's 2nd greatest form: The 9-Tails Chakra Mode. A form that Naruto has access to by absorbing Kurama's unrestrained Chakra. This form allows him to create large arms out of Chakra to aid him in battle, create a golden avatar of Kurama which can use the infamous Tailed Beast Bomb and The Rasengan, create miniature versions of both the Tailed Beast Bomb and the Rasenshuriken, can sense negative emotions, and can combine Sage Mode with this form for more power.
Morning Star: And in the 4th Great Ninja War, Naruto met the Sage of The Six Paths, who gave him half of his powers. This was due to the fact that Naruto was the reincarnation of Asura Otsutsuki, the younger son of the Sage of the Six Paths himself, which in turn gave Naruto so much power that he was able to harm Madara Uchiha when said person had absorbed the 10-Tails inside of him. This gave Naruto a new moveset. Like The Truth Seeking Balls, out of which Naruto holds up to 6 of them, where those balls can render anything that makes contact with them completely useless, be it a weapon or a super power, as well as the fact that it can be shaped in the form of either weapons or platforms to fly on.
Judge: He can also access all 5 natures of Chakra to combine them for great effects. Like the Sage Art: Lava Release Rasenshuriken, a massive Rasenshuriken that is infused with lava, the Tailed Beast Ball Rasenshuriken, a medium-sized Tailed Beast Ball with wind blades which can destroy planetoid-like objects in one blast, and finally, The Sage Art: Super Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken, where Naruto calls upon the Chakra of the 9 Tailed Beasts, creating 9 different clones, with each clone holding a different Rasenshuriken in their hand, which are Magnetized Sand, Blue fire, Water, Lava, Bubbling Acid, Scale Powder, Ink, and The Tailed Beast Ball Rasenshuriken.
Morning Star: However, Naruto is not infallible. He is so reckless and can be idiotic at times. His incomplete Rasenshuriken can harm him, His Sage Mode holds a time limit, where too many usages of the Rasenshuriken will cause him to revert to his base mode, and despite his Chakra reserves being abnormally massive, they still have their limits, as his strongest attack would drain him by a high bargain.
Judge: Even so, The knucklehead Ninja was able to rise up and become the thing that he wanted, and no 1 can actually hope to win against him when he is dead serious.
Marie: With him becoming the leader of his own village and making his dream come true, there is no 1 that has never heard of the name...Naruto Uzumaki.
"If he rips my arms off, I'll kick him to death. If he rips my legs off, I'll bite him to death! If he rips my head off, I'll stare him to death! And if he gouges out my eyes, I'll curse him from beyond the grave..!"
Ichigo Kurosaki[]
Morning Star: Souls are the thing that governs our reality, since humans are alive due to it. Which leads us to a question: What happens when a human dies?
Judge: Their souls wander around the human world, with no lead for them. This is where the Shinigami come in.
Marie: Shinigami are creations created by a god named the Soul King, an entity that governs all 3 planets, which are Hueco Mundo, Soul Society, and the Human World. However, by time, the Soul King was betrayed before having his arms, legs, and organs, and sealing him away, with the mere existence of the Soul King maintaining the 3 worlds and preventing them from merging together.
Justice: And because of this, Shinigami was created in order to guide the souls of the dead to Soul Society or Hell if they have committed unforgivable actions, and prevent them from entering Hueco Mundo, the land of the Hollows, which are lost souls.
Morning Star: However, Shinigami from Soul Society can sometimes heir a human from the Human World to act as 1 of their own. In that case, said human is called a Substitute Shinigami, a human that is capable of releasing his own soul out of his body in order to combat Hollows. Which in turn brings us to our own combatant.
Judge: Enter, the most badass Shinigami...Ichigo Kurosaki.
Marie: Ichigo was the love result of a Shinigami and a Quincy, making him a special combination. 1 day, when he was at the age of 9, he saw a Hollow that was disguised in the form of a wounded girl calling for help while walking with his mother. Unfortunately, this caused some causalities, as Ichigo's mother, Masaki, who was at that time had her Quincy powers stripped from her, died on top of Ichigo from that Hollow. Ever since then, Ichigo swore to become stronger in order to protect those who he care about.
Justice: And this opportunity rose up when he met Rukia Kuchiki, who was sent to eliminate a Hollow near Ichigo's house. This hollow attacked Ichigo and his younger sisters, and with Rukia wounded, all that she could do was to give her Shinigami powers to Ichigo, which in turn awakened his powers as a Substitute Shinigami, and with it, begun his adventure.
Morning Star: And without a doubt, Ichigo is really impressive and powerful. He's strong enough to blow down mountains with casual blows, split huge clouds to produce a power value worth of 14.68 Gigatons of TNT, defeat enemies that can blow down countries, and defeat Yhwach, who was going to merge 3 planets together, making him superior to Senna.
Justice: Senna is a character from 1 of Bleach's movies. In that movie, she was able to move both Soul Society and the Human World away from each other and prevent their fateful collision. By knowing the distance between both planets, and determining the timeframe that took to separate them from each other, this means that Senna must have produced a power potency equal to 364.36 Yottatons of TNT.
Marie: He is also fast enough to dodge lightning, run faster than light, dodge lightning at impressive speeds, and even keep up with the likes of Renji Abarai, who blocked a beam of light at 1.29 times the speed of light, and is durable enough to survive Yhwach merging the 3 worlds and him being in the middle of it.
Judge: But what makes Ichigo special is his own psychology. You see, being born from a Shinigami father and a Quincy mother who was infected with the essence of a Hollow makes some wonders.
Justice: All that Ichigo needed was a little push to activate his powers, and it came in the form of Rukia giving him her remaining powers during their 1st meeting. This unlocked Ichigo's Shinigami powers, and eventually his Hollow powers. His Shinigami powers came in the form of his Zanpakuto, or a Soul Reaper, which is a weapon used by Shinigami to exorcise souls and combat Hollows. Ichigo's own Zanpakuto is Zangetsu, which takes the form of 2 swords: 1 is long and takes the form of Krypter knife, and the other 1 is a small shortsword, and both are black in color, but there is something special regarding this form.
Morning Star: You see, A Zanpakuto normally is shown in its sealed form, where it holds 2 other stats when released from its sealed form: The Shikai and The Bankai. However, due to Ichigo's vast spiritual essence, Zangetsu takes the form of its Shikai form.
Marie: And this Zanpakuto is so cool. Zangetsu's power solely focuses on releasing condensed energy waves known as Getsuga Tensho, an arc of spiritual energy that becomes stronger when Ichigo calls its name, and Getsuga Jujisho, where Ichigo uses both of his swords to release an X-shaped Getsuga Tensho at his foes, dealing double the power.
Judge: But the greatest power is in Bankai, the 2nd and most strongest state of a Zanpakuto, which is 10 times stronger than the Shikai state. In Ichigo's case, his Bankai is called Tensa Zangestsu, where he combines both blades of Zangetsu to create a 1 single large blade which can fire a massive Getsuga Tensho that is superior to that of its Shikai counterpart.
Justice: That's not all. As you all know, Ichigo possess Hollow and Quincy powers. In the case of the Quincy powers, he holds the ability to use Blut Vene, which allows him to channel Reiryoku to strengthen the body and allow it to act as a shield, even stopping the body from bleeding.
Marie: In the case of the Hollow Powers, after Ichigo forged Zangetsu and knew the nature of both his Hollow and Quincy sides, he was able to enter into a Merged Hollow Form, where he sports a white horn from the left side of his head, which allows him to use the special and powerful Gran Rey Cero by using his blood and the longer blade of Zangetsu as a catalyst and a second horn respectively. Furthermore, he can combine it with a Getsuga Tensho to create a powerful slashing technique named Gran Rey Cero Getsuga Tensho...Whoa...Talk about cliche names...
Morning Star: However, Ichigo still holds his flaws. He is brash, and most of the times tend to rush headfirst in the battlefield without much of a thought. And he can be too merciful on his opponents at times.
Judge: Still, he made a name for himself in the Shonnen Jump series. Strong, hot-headed, and firm, Ichigo is the true definition...Of a world savior.
"If fate is a millstone, then we are the grist. There is nothing we can do. So I wish for strength. If I cannot protect them from the wheel, then give me a strong blade, and enough strength... to shatter fate"
Maka Albarn[]
Morning Star: The world of Soul Eater as we know it contains both humans, demon weapons, witches, Shinigami, and Kishin. Speaking of the latter, Kishin are entities of malice and evil, born when a soul is corrupted with negative thoughts, and for this, Death, the Shinigami, created the Death Weapon Meister Academy, or DWMA for short, in order to give birth to a generation that can fight off the Kishin.
Judge: Yeah...Sure.
Marie: You sound unconvinced...
Judge: A Shinigami that is named Death...And is literally looking like a clown...
Morning Star: Don't make fun of the author, my friend. Should i even mention that Soul Eater is actually 1 of the Shonnen Jump Manga?
Judge: What in the world?!
Justice: We are getting off the track here. As said above, Death decided to raise a generation to combat Kishin, as well as combat his son, Asura, the First Kishin, should said person rise. And for that, he created the Death Weapon Meister Academy, or DWMA for short, a school designed to raise powerful young warriors along with their Demon Weapons.
Marie: Which leads us to our fine 3 protagonists: The Shinigami's son, Death The Kid, The powerful Bushin Black Star, and the Human-Demon Weapon Hybrid...Maka Albarn.
Morning Star: Maka's story with attending the DWMA begun when she witnessed her father, Spirit Albarn, the strongest Demon Weapon at that time, cheating on his mother, which eventually led to a divorce, leaving Maka completely torn, and believing that all men are disgusting, which encouraged her to create a Demon Weapon that is stronger than her own father, who happens to be the weapon of Death himself by the way, and that's where she met Soul Evans, a Scythe Demon Weapon, who held some kind of inferiority complex towards his elder brother, and so decided to join DWMA upon discovering his Demon Weapon Abilities, and when they were paired, their adventure begun.
Judge: Maka is a formidable fighter, being able to push people 2 times her size and height away and off a great bridge and slice through concrete and people with ease. She is also fast enough to dodge bullets and explosions, and durable enough to tank explosions and attacks that can destroy cities. She also holds a unique ability to see all souls around the whole Earth, which is a more greater form of Extrasensory Perception, so good luck trying to sneak on her.
Justice: However, that's not only what makes Maka special. What makes her even more special is her ability to use her scythe, Soul, who happens to be her weapon partner. She is so skilled with Scythe usage that she holds several techniques for it, which are accessed by a special and an infamous technique called Soul Resonance.
Morning Star: Soul Resonance is a synchronization between wavelengths of both the meister and their Demon Weapon, which allows for power amplification and unique techniques for both the meister and their weapon partner. In Maka's case, she developed several techniques.
Marie: Like the Witch Hunt, which turns the scythe's blade into a crescent moon shape, with various variations, such as Number 6 Hunt Slash, a rotating slash with a number 6-shaped afterimage, and Letter "U" Hunt Slash, which is a downward slash with the scythe in the shape of a "U" letter.
Judge: Next comes the Demon Hunt, which gives the scythe's blade the shape of a broadax and with a large beard and spike, which is far more powerful than the Witch Hunt, and it gives Maka the technique Letter "I" Hunt Slash, which is an energy shock wave in the shape of an "I" letter, and finally, The Kishin Hunt, which is the strongest technique of the Scythe Meister techniques, which ignores immortality and purges all evil in front of it with only 1 slash. Also, if Maka was knocked unconscious, she can tap into her weapon heritage to turn her arms into scythe blades to fight while being unconsicous.
Morning Star: Still, we are not done yet with Maka's potential. During her eventful fight against the Demon Sword Meister Crona Gorgon, Soul was harmed by the Demon Sword Ragnarok, which in turn caused the blood of said Demon Weapon to enter Soul, granting him the power of the Black Blood, an artificial type of blood created by Medusa Gorgon in order to tap into the power of Madness. And due to her connection with Soul, Maka was also affected by it.
Justice: At the cost of completely losing any kind of rational thought, Maka gains an impressive boost in power, as well as a healing factor that allows her to even survive having being impaled through the chest, as well as having her skin hardened by the blood, to the point where it acts as a potent armor. And after harmonizing with the Madness, she was able to use the Black Blood in the form of a black dress, which gives her the same basic attributes of the Black Blood, which is the potent regeneration and the nigh-unbreakable body armor, but without being flung into Madness.
Morning Star: Even so, Maka still holds her own flaws. She can lose her cool in the battlefield, and her abilities in hand-to-hand combat is not the brightest. Not to mention that without Soul, she can not fight efficiently, as her techniques solely comes from Soul's weapon form, as well as the fact that she goes insane when she uses the Black Blood without harmonizing with it, and she can only use her weapon heritage powers when she is unconscious, and when awakened, she loses her ability to do so.
Judge: But even so, Maka has proven herself time after time. And she was able to save the world from certain doom. Challenging the Scythe Meister for a duel...Well, you are in for a wild ride.
"A sound soul...Dwells within a sound mind, and a sound body..."
Dizzy[]
Morning Star: In 2015, a man known by the name of Asuka R. Kreutz was chosen by The Original to protect humanity from an inevitable evil that came out from the Akashic Records, or The Backyard in that case.
Judge: Asuka would later befriend Frederick Bulsara and his lover Aria Hale, and would set himself on a journey of science in order to create the Gear Project, a project that had the goal of curing incurable diseases, but its main purpose was to rebel the evil which was known as The Universal Will. However, Aria became sick and was about to die. Asuka then found the solution to all of this: Turn his friends to Gears. Now that's what i call friendship...
Marie: The sole purpose for this was because Asuka did not want Gears to be weaponized by the world, and due to the fact that Aria refused to enter cryo-sleep mode in order to prevent the symptoms of her illness to rise up. So Asuka turned Frederick into The Flame of Corruption, The 1st Prototype Gear, who would be known later as the infamous Sol Badguy, so that Aria would be able to see Frederick no matter how much long she slept, as Gears are creatures blessed with immortality. However, Frederick didn't understand or know the reasons for Asuka's actions for the sake of his 2 friends and the world. But in 2042, After Asuka closed the Gear Project, The United States reopened it, and in 2065, the government begun the mass production of Gears, which promoted Asuka to turn Aria into a Gear as well, more specifically, the 1st Commander Gear, Justice in 2073 in order to control the Gears made by the government to prevent huge scale wars. However, Justice's activation in 2074 ended up in a tragedy, as she was about to trigger the Absolute World phenomenon, which would erase everything in the marital universe, and this was due to the fact that The Universal Will took control of Justice at that time.
Justice: Seeing no other choice, Asuka overrode Justice's control system, and made her use the Gamma Ray attack to destroy Japan. This made Aria's psyche completely shattered, and Asuka managed to split Aria in 2 halves. 1 half was her Gear self, or Justice, who led the Crusades War against humanity using Gears as her slaves, and the other half was Jack-O-Valentine, the 1st Valentine in existence. And this incident branded Asuka as a criminal.
Morning Star: Unknown to Asuka and anyone, Aria, before being converted into a Gear, was already pregnant with Frederick's child, and her Gear half, Justice, was the one to give birth to it, effectively bringing forth the 1st Human-Gear Hybrid in existence, and one of the most strongest characters in the entire Guilty Gear Franchise...Dizzy.
Judge: In 2178, Following the end of the Crusades Wars 3 years ago on the hands of Sol Badguy, Dizzy was born and found by an old childless couple, and in only 3 years, she matured to adulthood, and even grew wings and a salamander tail, leading to the civilians in the village that Dizzy was raised in to realize that she was a Gear. So her parents placed her in a grove in a deep part of a forest, where another Gear, who was a former human, who went by the name of Testament, vowed to protect her, and he did, considering the fact that he laid waste to countless bounty hunters. And if some had somehow passed through him, they would eventually be overwhelmed by Dizzy's immense powers.
Marie: That is, until Sol arrived and defeated both of them by barely doing anything, but he spared her, where the bounty on her head was taken by 1 Jam Kuradoberi, who used it for her restaurant. And after Dizzy was captured, she was rescued by The Jellyfish Pirates, which were led by May and Johnny Sfondi, before some events transpired in her stay with the Jellyfish Pirates, until it ended up with her meeting with Ky Kiske, a badass, so-called deliverer of justice, who she decided to go with in order for her to discover more about her powers, and eventually, they fell in love with each other, where Ky proposed to Dizzy in secret due to her status as a Commander Gear, and their love came to fruition after 1 year in the form of their son, Sin Kiske.
Justice: With the past life story out of the way, let's enter to the main deal. Don't let appearances fool you, as Dizzy is a prime example for this. She is strong enough to bring down a massive fleet consisting of the Scared Order, Jellyfish and Zepp Airships with a single Gamma Ray, match Gears that weight over 14 trillion tons, knock off a revived Justice, and have so much power that it was stated that her powers can split the Earth itself, fast enough to keep up with those who can travel at speeds of 32 trillion times the speed of light, as well as people like Sol, who can move and function in the Underworld Hill, which is a place beyond time itself, as well as The Backyard, which is stated to be a higher dimension, and durable enough to survive a 20000 feet tall with no injury, survive the Mayship crashing into her in a Kamikaze attack which also triggered a nuclear explosion due to the ship's thermo-nuclear reactor going critical, and was shown that her skin was so hard that Baiken's sword, which can cleave through building-sized Gears with ease, chipped upon contact with her body.
Morning Star: But what makes Dizzy special is her fighting method, namely through her wings, Necro and Undine, which are the results of her Gear heritage. Necro can manipulate fire, radiation and gamma lasers, while Undine can manipulate ice and electricity.
Judge: For Necro, Dizzy's natural Gear instincts to kill, he can create spinning energy scythes, large battle axes, fire beams of gamma lasers, summon bursts of flames from the ground, orbs of fire and conjure Floating Dragon Heads made of magma that can release beams of fire.
Marie: For Undine, Dizzy's natural Human instincts of kindness, she can create ice pillars to knock the enemies to the sky, create energy shields, ice canine head that can either bite on the opponent or release small energy beams, throw electric kunais, and release water bubbles that harm opponents upon bursting in their faces.
Justice: But that's not all. We are to enter to the Overdrives. For Dizzy, her Overdrives are really something. first, we have the Imperial Ray, where Dizzy unleashes descending pillars of fire that travel to the front without stopping, scorching down her opponents, Necro Unleashed, where Necro briefly takes control, before trapping the opponent in a coffin, then firing 7 energy magic arrows at the coffin that holds the enemy, the Necro Install, which is Dizzy's version of Sol's Dragon Install, which increases her power and speed for a few seconds before deactivating automatically, leaving Dizzy winded for a short while, the Gamma Ray, where Necro fires a massive Gamma beam from a wolf head underneath its sleeve at the opponent, and the Salvation, where Dizzy unleashes massive beams of light from all directions to engulf the opponent.
Marie: Finally, we got her Instant Kill: The Emotional Gamma Ray, a Gamma Ray that is way more powerful than the original Gamma Ray, which if hit, it erases the physical existence of an opponent, and if it didn't hit, it releases a massive explosion that causes those who see it to immediately surrender. Oh. And as a Gear, she is completely immune to the null of people who use magic beyond twelve steps and survive while within Backyard which assaults one's body, mind and soul, as well as being immune to any kinds of diseases due to her Gear Cells, considering the fact that the Gear Project was originally for curing the incurable diseases and putting an kind to the illnesses of humnaity.
Morning Star: On that note, Dizzy still holds her own flaws. She is a pacifist who would refuse to fight unless necessary, and if she is knocked unconscious by some way, Necro would possess her, where said system is on a constant bloodlust, where he abandons any kind of rational thought and strategy.
Judge: But nevertheless, Dizzy was able to make humans accept her as both a queen and wife to Ky, as well as accept her in society. Her powers wielded in her hand, ready to protect her loved ones, Dizzy still proceed to carry the will of both Gears and Humanity... on the top of her 2 wings.
"Don't seek someone who's only looking at you. You must search for someone who looks in the same direction as you do"
Illyasviel von Einzbern[]
Morning Star: The Holy Grail War, a fight that happens in the human world that happens every several years, in the hopes of claiming the Holy Grail, a wishing device that can grant any kinds of wishes to the 1s who win it.
Judge: A slight problem, though, is the fact that the Holy Grail was actually Angra Mainyu, a good man who was burdened with all the evil in the entire existence by his people, with his name being wiped from the Avesta, where he was regarded as an entity known as a Heroic Spirit due to his sacrifice easing up his people, and was summoned to the 3rd Holy Grail War, but due to being an average human who knew nothing about fighting, he was swiftly killed, but at that time, he was absorbed into the Holy Grail, but a dark miracle occurred as the Grail responded to the wishes imprinted onto him, transforming into a daemon, the source of All the World's Evil. This corrupted the Grail, turning it into an engine of destruction that would realize any wish granted through it through the most violent and horrific of means.
Marie: Flash forward to the 4th Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, Kiritsugu Emiya, a Magus participating in the Holy Grail War, wished to bring salvation to humanity, but upon realizing its horrifying nature, he ordered his Servant, who was Artoria Pendragon at that time, to destroy it, blasting Fuyuki City and burying it under a massive dome of fire.
Justice: Crushed by the guilt and shame after he contradicted his own ideals of saving the weak and innocent, Kiritsugu retired from being a Magus, before adopting 1 Shirou Emiya, who was the sole survivor of the Holy Grail crisis that occurred in Fuyuki City, and 5 years later, Kiritsugu died due to having his soul being slowly eaten away by the All World's Evil's mud, leaving Shirou to fend off with himself after sealing Avalon inside of him.
Morning Star: Avalon is actually the sheath of Excalibur, and the catalyst that Shirou unconsciously used to summon Artoria Pendragon into the 5th Holy Grail War. But that is not what we are here to talk about. Before dying, Kiritsugu got married to Irisviel von Einzbern, and had a child from them, and this child was a Homonculus, due to her mother being so as well, where Irisviel was created to hold the Holy Grail inside of her, but her own daughter took that role from her upon the death of both her parents. This child's name...Is Illya.
Judge: Growing up all alone in a huge castle without even knowing that Shirou was her adopted younger brother, Illya was chosen as the Lesser Grail following her mother's death, and then she participated in the 5th Holy Grail War, with Hercules, of all people, being her Servant.
Marie: Why is he so special you ask? Well, Hercules is a Servant of the Berserker Class, a Class that is nigh-impossible to tame, but Illya had the greatest potential ever of all Magus in all history, as her entire body was actually a Command Spell due to 10% of it being magic circuits, which gives her complete control over Berserker, as well as massive powers.
Justice: Illya herself is something, even without her Servant. She is strong enough that she was regarded as the strongest Master in the 5th Holy Grail War, even dwarfing Rin Tohsaka herself, who was a prodigy and a master fighter, where said Magus can combat Luviagelita Edelfelt, who can generate 0.006 Tons of TNT simply through a German Suplex, fast enough to keep up with Servants, out of which some of them can dodge Archer's projectiles, which can travel 4 kilometers in only 1 second, dodge Lancer's Gae Bolg, which is a spear that can move faster than light when thrown, and can react to Excalibur's beam of light, which can move at more than 59 times the speed of light, and durable enough to laugh off Rin's attempts to harm her.
Morning Star: And like all Magus, Illya holds her own magic. 1st, she holds the ability to use the magic known as Engel Note: Angel's Poem, which works through the use of her hair, where she tears strands of her hair that transform to magical ethereal birds known as Zelle, which can defend and shoot magical bullets at the same time, and if Illya wants a finisher, she can turn a handful of hair into a powerful magic ethereal sword known as Degen, which can fly with such speed and deliver massive power that was enough to shatter Rin's magical barriers, where said barriers can withstand Berserker's brutal and merciless attacks. Not to mention that those barriers are made from the same magic jewels that Rin uses in offense, where said jewels were able to take 1 life out of Berserker's lives. There is also her own special ability: The Heaven Dress, which gives her access to the Third Magic, which allows her to manipulate souls as she likes. For example, she can seal souls in dummies or create a part of herself to see souls in them.
Judge: Berserker is stronger than Gawain, who was able to survive Artoria's casual attack while in her status as a Lancer. With this in mind, Lancer Artoria was able to use Rhongomynaid to vaporize a massive crater. Measuring the distance between the Camelot and Ozy's temple to find the dimensions of the crater formed, this would mean that Artoria's release of Rhongomymaid must have yielded over 124.35 Gigatons of TNT. Dividing that by 2, considering the fact that Gawain barely survived her casual attack, this would mean that Gawain, and in turn Hercules, must have a normal attack potency via scaling to Gawain's durability, which is worth of 62.175 Gigatons of TNT, and Rin was able to take 1 life out of Berserker himself using her jewels, where Illya's magical familiars were able to take down the power of her jewels rather easily.
Marie: Now with Illya out of the way, let's go to Hercules. He is really strong. So strong that it was stated that he can destroy a mountain by casually swinging in empty space, and not only that, his A+ Rank strength makes him superior to Gawain as we stated from above, and as a Servant, he is superior to the Magus' physical characteristics.
Justice: But what makes Berserker dangerous is due to his Noble Phantasm: The God Hand: 12 Labors, which allows Berserker's skin to be completely unpiercable by anything that is weaker than him, and if anything manages to kill him, he can simply resurrect himself instantly and up to 12 times, and he would gain complete immunity to what previously killed him, making him a nigh-unstoppable killing machine. He would even gain resistance from the attack the moment it even makes him draw blood.
Marie: That being said, God Hand grants Berserker a potent healing factor that even allowed him to regenerate from Bazatt's Fragarach destroying his brain, and as for his 2nd Noble Phantasm, The 9 Lives: 100 Heads Shooting, where Berserker can swing his huge Axe sword a 100 times in an instant to annihilate his own enemy, no matter how many times they resurrect.
Morning Star: However, even the seemingly flawless combination of both Illya and Berserker hold its own gaps. For Illya, she can be completely sadistic and overconfident, preferring to toy with her opponents up to her heart's content, and for Berserker, he is completely insane, and will even throw himself in harm's way to protect Illya. In addition to this, powerful attacks that bypasses his own level of durability can kill him more than once or twice, and sometimes, even there are attacks that can kill him up to 9 or 12 times, effectively killing him instantly.
Judge: Bu even so, this combination of both a sadistic master and her own powerful demigod has never failed to create wonders. So never, ever counter her, as she will just show you...The darkness after a slight flash of light.
"I'm not scared anymore even though it's dark. You're strong, Berserker, I'm safe if you're there like that"
Ekaterina Kurae[]
Morning Star: The world as we know it sure is cruel. Discrimination, violence, terrorism and several other acts of terror that can pretty much end the innocence of anyone.
Judge: That goes to everyone and anyone, including children.
Marie: Around a few years ago, 1 mother abandoned her child and left her in the slums for weeks until her grandmother took care of her. It was at that time where this child unlocked her special powers, and her grandmother died, but not before telling her that she was a descendant to Tsar Nicholas II, not knowing that her grandmother had dementia at that time.
Justice: After her grandmother died, a man by the name of Gijou, found her in the middle of a bloody massacre that she herself caused when she was only 8 years old, where her powers became hayware and caused death to all those around her, which promoted him to train her on her powers.
Morning Star: Flash forwarding 3 years, the young girl, now 11 years old, escaped from there and joined the organization named Athos, becoming 1 of their greatest members. Known to all of her enemies as The Scarlet Empress of Copper, and for the few that she cares about as Katja, this girl's name...Was Ekaterina Kurae.
Judge: And don't let that cute and frail figure trick you. Despite her frail body, she is extremely powerful, smart and sadistic. AS while her strength does not exceed that of a young child, Katja is a powerful Qwaser. A Qwaser is a human being that can use an element out of the periodic table, and in Katja's case, she is a metal-type Qwaser, and her element is Copper.
Marie: Using the Philosopher Stone that is given to any Qwaser to amplify their powers, Katja inserts it in her Copper puppet that goes by the name of Anastasia. Anastasia can create copper blades, channel electricity and fire it, and can create railguns. It is also strong enough to grab boulders, trade blows with copies of the Hydrogen Qwaser Milk, who can release hydrogen bombs, where a hydrogen bomb holds a potency worth of 1 Megatons of TNT, fast enough to outrun Gamma lasers, and durable enough to survive a massive multiple hydrogen bombs pelting it from all directions.
Justice: There is also the fact that Katja is unfathomably superior to fellow Copper Qwaser Joshua, who fought Giorgio, the Helium Qwaser, who was able to create a miniature sun. Considering the fact that this was Helium Nuclear Fusion, if we compared it to Giorgio's head, and applied Stefan-Boltzmann Law, this would mean the Giorgio must have instantly generated a power output worth of 356.33 Gigatons of TNT. And Katja, through using Anastasia, is unfathomably superior to Joshua.
Marie: Katja also holds a moveset for herself using her abilities as a Copper Qwaser. Iwan's Lightning Bombardant has Katja create a copper gun that fires electricity, and Tungeska Big Meteorite has Katja command Anastasia to reform her arm into a thorn-like gun that conducts stored electricity inside her core, releasing it into a large beam that can cause a giant explosion. Her attacks can also negate healing factors, as shown when the Mercury Qwaser could not regenerate from the slashes delivered to her by Anastasia, despite said Qwaser showing to have regenerated from being burned alive on a stake.
Morning Star: So much power and skills does not deny the fact that Katja is flawed in ways. She is arrogant, sadistic and childish, preferring to toy with her opponents unless she either deems them boring or that they are putting up a good fight with her. In addition, all of her moveset and her fighting method comes solely from Anastasia, where without her, Katja is simply a frail, defenseless, 11 year old child.
Judge: Even so, Katja made a name for her in this 18+ series. Just watch out. If your a girl, don't let her cuteness fool you, because if it did...You are going to be her slave.
"I'm Ekaterina Kurae. The few i care about may call me Katja. Those who presume to be my enemies fear me as the Copper Empress. Then they are broken. And the broken only know me as...The Scarlet Empress!"
Jotaro Kujo[]
Morning Star: You know how are own subconsciousness holds our own suppressed powers? That's the case of Stand Users.
Judge: Stand Users are actually people who awoken to entities that are massively strong and are granted a special ability, but we are getting off the track of introduction here.
Marie: In Japan, there existed the Joester family, who was famed and known by all to be a family of exorcists. 1 in particular, was a very kind, yet intimidation person due to his muscular figure and absurd strength that surpassed peak humans. 1 day, he placed himself in jail due to a claim of him that he had an evil spirit following him, and to prove it, he took a gun from a cop, pointed it towards his head and fired.
Justice: This guy is nuts.
Marie: Just look at it! Before even the bullet could hope to reach him, an invisible hand appeared out of nowhere and caught the bullet in between its fingers. It was at that time, that his grandfather, Joseph Joester, informed him that this thing was actually a Stand, before informing him about the reawakening of the evil vampire Dio Brando, which caused everyone in the Joester family to unlock their Stands as well, with the mother of the kind guy being on the verge of death due to being so peaceful for having a Stand, which promoted them to search for Dio in Egypt to save Holy Joester. And this marked the beginning of the bizarre adventures of the man known as...Jotaro Kujo.
Morning Star: Even without his Stand, Jotaro is so strong for a human being. When he was turned into a 7-year-old child, he was tough enough to knock out an adult and send him flying a few meters, and kick down a steel door, fast enough to be regarded as a superhuman and react to Stand attacks that can reach up to 365 times the speed of light, and durable enough to take hits from Stands, where Stands are strong enough to take down buildings and city blocks.
Judge: And as we said before, Jotaro is a Stand User. In this case, Jotaro's Stand is Star Platinum, a Stand that can pummel whatever comes near Jotaro with rapid fists, which are strong enough to punch through diamond teeth and rip off mountain tops, fast enough to travel 365 times faster than light, and durable enough to survive massive road rollers striking down at it at hypersonic speeds.
Marie: Star Platinum's ability is to control its body to increase its size and length, as well as hold the ability to suck out entire towns in its mouth. Like how it can use Star Finger, where it elongates its index and middle fingers indefinitely, Super Breath, which can consume massive large town-sized Stands by sucking them into its mouth, and Super Precision, which allows Star Platinum to notice miniature and microscopic details with its own eyes, allowing said Stand to snatch small buds that can kill whoever removes them without killing their hosts.
Justice: And due to the fact that Star Platinum and The World are the same kind of Stand, Star Platinum possess The World's ability to stop time. It can stop time for around 5 seconds, but it has been regressed to 2 seconds due to Jotaro's not using it frequently.
Judge: But the most greatest power of all is The Eyes of Heaven, an ability that Jotaro's Stand gained after Dio gained The World Over Heaven. This power grants Star Platinum the ability named Reality Overwrite, where anything that Star Platinum's fists touch would outright have the reality around them warped, and Star Platinum can use this ability on itself to heal both him and Jotaro.
Morning Star: Even so, Jotaro still holds his own flaws. Despite being superhuman in nature, he is still a human being, and can be killed by natural means. In addition, Star Platinum, like all Stands, holds a range of flight worth of 10 meters, and should it get any farther away from its master, it will grow weaker and will not function unless Jotaro de-summons it and summons it back once again. Also, unlike Dio, Jotaro, due to being a normal human, he cannot use the time stop ability in succession, and has to have a cool down time for him to use it, and it also came out with another flaw, as due to him not using it continuously, the amount of time used to stop time has decreased from 5 to 2 seconds. And Reality Overwrite, while indeed a powerful ability, won't work if Star Platinum's fists are damaged, and they would have to heal normally without rewriting reality around them in order for it to be used once again, and unless its fists touch the enemy, Star Platinum won't be able to use Reality Overwrite.
Judge: But hey! A guy like him beating the crap out of evil people even after reaching his early 40s sounds cool to me! So better not get on his bad side, or you shall see stars...In the break of the day.
"No one ever said Jotaro Kujo was a nice guy. I beat the crap out of more people than I have to. Some are still in the hospital. There’s plenty of teachers that got on my bad side and never came back to class. And, hey, I make it a policy not to pay if I don't like a meal. But even a guy like me can spot evil when he sees it! Evil means to use the weak for your own gain and then stomp on them when it's over! And that's what you've done! To a woman and a doctor, even! And your Stand gets to hide from the victim... the law... the consequences! Therefore, I'll be the judge!"
Kojou Akatsuki[]
Morning Star: Around 3 and 1/2 years ago, 12th Kaleid Blood Vampire Avrora Florestina was guarding an evil existence known as Root inside of her, and at that time, she was accompanied with 2 siblings who found her sleeping in her coffin, and while with her, they were attacked by a faction known as the Faction of Emperor of the Black Death, where the elder sibling used his body to protect both his sister and Avrora from a hail of bullets.
Judge: This dramatic and heroic act touched Avrora's heart, which forced her to donate her 4th and 5th ribs to the guy, turning him to a vampire as well. After living with each other for 3 and 1/2 years, Avrora ordered the guy, who now became her blood servant, to kill her, so that Root won't surface away and cause disasters. He did so, but not before his own sister managing to seal Avrora's consciousness inside of her. And starting from there, began an adventure to that guy, ranging from angels to demons to sentient weapons to gods and several stuff.
Marie: Enter, the strongest and most unique vampire in the history of fiction...Kojou Akatsuki.
Justice: His name is weird. Is he a part of THE Akatsuki?
Morning Star: What?! No! Kojou was actually a normal human being, that is until Avrora turned him to the 4th Primogenitor, effectively turning him to a vampire. As a vampire, Kojou is indeed strong. Strong enough that he actually can casually create craters with his punches, blast down buildings, turn an entire island to mist, and swat away an attack from Kanon Kanase, who at that time, existed on a higher plane of existence above that of humanity.
Judge: He is fast enough to dodge explosions, keep up with those who can outrun pure lightning, and he can even deflect an attack from a higher plane of reality. He is also durable enough to survive explosions, lightning and attacks from Kanon, who is 4-D in nature.
Marie: What is most impressive in Kojou is his Vampire Psychology. It makes him effectively immortal, meaning that he cannot age or die by normal means, as well as it gives him a healing factor that can allow him to survive decapitation and even being burned to ashes. Not only that, but it gives him high degrees of Reactive Evolution and Reactive Power Level, up to the extent that the same attack that hit him won't hope to graze him a second time, and his own power level rises up by each injury level he takes, which in turn made him grow in strength so much to the extent that he went on from punching craters to the ground to casually deflecting an attack from a 4-Dimensional entity with his bare hands!
Justice: And that is only without his own Familiars. Speaking of which, those familiars are more powerful than Kojou himself, and Kojou does not have only 1, or 2, or even 3. He has a total of 12 Familiars.
Judge: Familiars? You mean like Pokemon?
Morning Star: More or less, as Kojou is capable of summoning up to 4 of them at once.
Judge: Wow! Now that's cooler than Pokemon!
Morning Star: And you haven't seen what is even more cooler. Each and every single 1 of Kojou's Familiar holds great abilities, and even without them being summoned, Kojou holds their own resistances and immunity.
Marie: Why did the show suddenly flip to that of Persona?
Justice: Kojou's 1st Familiar is REGULUS AURUM, a lion that can manipulate pure lightning and can even deflect an atomizing energy beam, his 2nd Familiar, AL-NASL MINIUM, a unicorn that can manipulate sound to create sound quakes and waves and can tear molecules at an atomic scale by emitting high-frequency vibrations from it's entire body, his 3rd Familiar, KIFFA-ATER, a 100 meter, trident-like sword that can manipulate gravity, his 4th Familiar, NATRA-CINEREUS, a giant, silver crayfish with blue flames on its claws that is capable of rendering anything non-corporeal by producing mist, effectively destroying its physical form, with said mist being capable of repelling reality warping, his 5th Familiar, COR TAURI SUCINUM, a 10 meter humanoid ox that is made by lava that is capable of controlling both lava and tectonic plates, as well as swinging a large ax, his 6th Familiar, MESARTHIM ADAMAS, a giant ram that is covered with more than 10,000 diamond plates, with each plate being capable of withstanding attacks from a dimension eater, as well as fire off diamonds as shotgun bullets or make barriers, his 7th Familiar, ALRESCHA GLACIES, combination of a siren and a mermaid that is able to manipulate water, and even freeze it to absolute zero, and his 8th Familiar, an Ichthyosaur with a crystal horn that resembles that of a goat's that is capable of manipulating the minds and souls of its victims.
Judge: Hold on a second. You said that they were 12 Familiars, but you only mentioned 8 of them.
Marie: That's because Kojou's 4 final Familiars are by so far his strongest. 1st, we have SHAULA-VIOLA, a man-eating tiger that is bathed in purple flames, with the ability to manipulate poison and can make antidotes, as well as stealing the powers of its opponents, AL-MEISSA MERCURY, a 2 headed serpentine dragon that is capable of tearing through space and eating dimensions, MINELAUVA IRIS, a Valkyrie that holds the rainbow-colored sword of light, with the ability to manipulate the laws of nature, as well as cutting through cause and effect, and finally, SADALMELIK-ALBUS, which is a combination of an undine and a snake that is capable of reverting phenomenon to its original state which is nothingness, as well as erase conceptual existence.
Morning Star: However, Kojou is not without flaws. He is more of brawler, as he never had any formal combat training, instead relying on pure brute strength in the battlefield. He is also reliant on his Familiars in most of his fights, since while he does indeed holds their resistances effects against their own abilities, he still requires their own abilities in the battlefield, as well as the fact that he has to at least call the name of the Familiar in order to summon it.
Judge: Still, he is still standing strong until this moment. Even with the whole world on his throat, he still holds his head high...To protect his loved 1s.
"...But have you forgotten, old man? I still owe you one for you slicing my chest apart. Let's get that settled before all this stuff about revenge on a guy who bought it ages ago. So, let's get this party started, old man! From here on, this is my fight!"
Ryuko Matoi[]
Morning Star: In modern days, technology has advanced in war, up to the extent that it became affiliated with even clothes.
Judge: Scientist Soichiro Kiryuin aimed for an advancement for war technology. Unfortunately for him, his wife, Ragyo Kiryuin, had something else in mind: Fusing humans with life fibers, and she did it on her youngest daughter. However, she thought that in the midset of the experience, her daughter died, so she disposed of her.
Marie: Disgusted by this, Soichiro fled and saved his young daughter, changed his own appearance and took on the name of Isshin Matoi, where he sent his own daughter to an in-doors school, while working with an assassination organization called...Umm...
Justice: What's wrong, Marie?
Marie: The name is kind of...Indecent.
Judge: The organization's name is Nudist Beach, guys.
Morning Star: Anyways, after developing weapons out of the material known as Life Fibers, Isshin sent for his own daughter, but not before hiding 1 of those weapons, and using the other to defend against 1 Nui Harime, who was sent by Ragyo to kill him off. And despite his power and skills, he was defeated, with Nui taking half of the weapon that was with Isshin. His daughter then would find her father impaled with the remaining half of the weapon, which promoted her to take the weapon and run after the assassin, but at that time, an explosion engulfed the house, taking Isshin to his death. Swearing vengeance upon who killed her father, the daughter decided to enter the academy known as Honnoji Academy to find the killer of her father. This child's name...Is Ryuko Matoi.
Judge: And for the mission, she has to have the most effective weapons and powers. Ryuko is actually strong. So strong that she can pulverize a crater that would take around 4.5 Tons of TNT, cause a shock wave worth of 113 Kilotons of TNT, create a 321 Kilotons of TNT explosion when enraged with a clash against her sister, harm The Elite 4 of Honnoji Academy, where 1 of them was able to withstand an explosion worth of 147 Megatons of TNT, destroy S.S Naked Sun, which was able to penetrate the Primordial Life Fibers, which can withstand an energy output worth of 47 Teratons of TNT, and be on par with Satsuki, who created an entire universe.
Marie: She is fast enough to dodge explosion, lasers and even slice 110 million tennis balls at speeds worth of 2570 times the speed of light. She is strong enough to survive an explosion worth of 147 Megatons of TNT, and even tank attacks from Ragyo Kiryuin.
Justice: Ryuko's superhuman powers relies solely in her psychology as a human-Life Fiber hybrid, where she holds a powerful regeneration that was stated to be comparable to that of Ragyo, who can regenerate from being cut to pieces, as well as giving her immense willpower that makes her capable of creating shock waves around her from sheer will, and the ability to grow stronger the more she is closer to death. It even made her survive skinning alive.
Morning Star: That aside, Ryuko's abilities also comes from her weapons. Her weapons, in this case, are the Rending Scissors, a special weapon created by Isshin Matoi that can sever Life Fibers as well as prevent their regeneration. Ryuko can use either 1 blade or both at once. When using 1 blade, the Scissor Blade can enter Decapitation Mode, where the blade mechanically extends her Scissor Blade into a two-handed sword, where it becomes even stronger, and comes with another technique, Fiber Lost, a technique Ryuko uses as a finishing blow.
Judge: When the 2 Scissor Blades are joined together as The Rending Scissors, they can enter 2 powerful modes. The 1st is Final Address Mode, where the scissors grow so much that they become twice the size of S.S Naked Sun, which is Multi-City Block-sized, and the 2nd is Decommission Mode, which makes the scissors even more larger that they dwarf both Honnouji Academy and S.S Naked Sun.
Marie: All of this is cool and all, but what is more unique is Ryuko's 2nd weapon: The Kamui Senketsu.
Justice: Kamui Senketsu, or Senketsu for short, is a clothing made entirely out of Life Fibers, created by Isshin Matoi specifically for Ryuko by infusing Senketsu with her DNA. This black sailor outfit makes Ryuko completely hideous in appearance, nearly looking like a hooker, but maybe due to the fact that the maker of the Kill La Kill series has played a lot of Senran Kagura video games that he got that idea, as Senketsu, while it reveals a great deal of Ryuko's body, it gives her an immense boost in all of her physical attributes.
Morning Star: Using her glove to give a wound to herself, Ryuko can activate Senketsu using her blood as a catalyst, as Senketsu uses blood to transform, in a process called Life Fibers Synchronize, where Ryuko dons Senketsu in a rather revealing, armor-like outfit. Senketsu can help Ryuko by evolving in the midset of the battlefield, like being able to make his eye patch on the armor even bigger to either block attacks or crush opponents underneath it, creating spikes around himself out of Ryuko's blood as means of both offense and defense, and even create forcefields.
Judge: And out of his evolution came even more forms, like Senketsu Senjin, where Senketsu uses Ryuko's blood to create spikes around her clothing, as well as make Ryuko use retractable claws made out of her blood, Senketsu Shippu, which turns the crest of Senketsu into wings, and the lower part of Ryuko's outfit into a jet propulsion, granting Ryuko the ability to fly, and Senjin Shippu, which is a combination between the 2 previous forms for dual effectiveness.
Justice: And last, but not least, Senketsu Kisaragi, the final form that Ryuko obtained after absorbing the remaining Life Fibers from the Goku Uniforms of the entirety of the Honnōji Academy student body, including those of the Elite 4 and Junketsu, where her armor becomes red her hair becomes blonde, and Senketsu's eyepatch opens up. This form increases Ryuko's powers by tenfold, which was the form she used to take down Ragyo Kiryuin.
Morning Star: Even so, Ryuko is not perfect. She can be brash, rushing headfirst to the battlefield without much of a thought. There is also the fact that if she is cut from both sides at the same time, she won't be able to regenerate, as well as the fact that if Senketsu's Banshi Threads are cut, Senketsu falls apart, leaving Ryuko to her own agenda.
Judge: But still, strong, head straight, and determined, even if Ryuko falls apart, she will still stand on her feet once again...To take on her own path.
"If you don't try to win with everything you have, it will come down to bite you"
Ren Amamiya[]
Morning Star: Japan can be known for several things, with discrimination and injustice being an example.
Judge: The story actually begins when a corrupted politician that goes by the name of Masayoshi Shido, was trying to molest a woman in the middle of the midnight streets, only for a boy to pass by, where the woman tried to desperately call for his help, which made the boy step in.
Marie: The boy did not even touch the man, and the man fell on the edge of a steel pole, causing an injury in his bald head, to which the man, completely wasted, sued the boy with a false crime, and caused him to enter probation for assault, effectively ruining his life. Fortunately for the boy, it was agreed not to place him in prison if he passed 1 year worth of probation in Shinjuku, and so he enrolled his 2nd secondary year in Shibuya Academy, where he suffered from harsh treatment.
Justice: The solution came in the form of a weird app called the Metaverse Navigator, or Meta Navi for short, an app that allows its user to enter the cognitive realities of others, and our hero here did it with his 1st friend, albeit accidentally. Yes, everyone. We are talking about 1 of the greatest icons of Sega. We are talking about The Stage, The Phantom, The Joker...Ren Amamiya.
Morning Star: After acidentally entering the Palace of the abusive P.E. teacher Suguru Kamoshida, Ren, and his new friend, Ryuji Sakamato were about to die by the Shadow self of Kamoshida. Facing the threat of death, Ren was given the message to stand up, and rip out the facade of a mask that he had, forcing him to awaken to his newfound power: Persona.
Judge: Persona?
Marie: The Persona is the physical manifestation of 1's soul, embodied in the form of an entity that takes its power from a certain Archetype associated with it. Anyways, after Ren awakened to his own Persona, he busted himself, Ryuji and their new ally, Morgana the cat from their prison, returning to the Real World. Afterwards, they met with Ann Takamaki, who also became a part of their team, and after awakening to her Persona and defeating Shadow Kamoshida, and a fateful meeting with Shido, Ren and his 3 friends decided to form The Phantom Thieves of Hearts in order to forcibly reform society.
Justice: And to tell you the truth, he is indeed strong, even without using his Persona. He is strong enough to rip a Shadow guard's arm off, cuts off Shadow Kamoshida's giant tentacle-like tongue, defeat Kanishiro, who create a Shibuya-sized Palace, defeat cognitive Wakaba Ishiki, who governed Futaba Sakura's Palace, which is a massive desert that held a sun in it, take down Shadow Okumura, whose Palace was a huge space station with countless stars and nebulae in it, and defeat Yaldabaoth, a false cognitive god that was able to fuse the cognitive reality with the Real World, effectively fusing 2 universes together.
Judge: He is fast enough to dodge sky to ground lightning, laser beams, and attacks that can span through entire galaxies and even universes. He is also durable to withstand attacks from Palace owners and stand up without any harm.
Marie: With that out of the way, let's enter to what makes Ren special. 1st and foremost is his superhuman charisma, which even allows him to negotiate with Shadows and turn them to Personas by simply talking, his gun skills which gives him the ability to perform the Down Shot, a 100% guaranteed knock-down shots that forces any opponent hit with it to be knocked off their feet, the Third Eye, an ability given to him by Yaldabaoth, which allows Ren to find invisible objects, find hidden details, analyze an opponent's power level and even slow down his own perception of time to increase his already impressive display of speed, and the uncanny ability to hid his presence, up to the extent that enemies can't even see him even if he is right in front of them as long as Ren is sticking to an object...How does that even work? Can i mention the fact that he resisted conceptual existence erasure and reality warping?, and even regenerated from it? Again, how does that even work?
Morning Star: But that's not all. Like any kind of Persona protagonist, Ren holds the ability to summon Persona, but unlike any kind of Persona user, Ren possess the Wild Card ability, which allows him to summon multiple Personas in the battlefield in contrast to the ordinary ability to summon only 1.
Justice: Ren holds a massive collection of Personas, but we are going to focus on the special 1s, as well as the Picaro 1s.
Judge: The Picaro Personas are Personas from other stories, but are far more stronger than what they are in their original stories. And due to Ren being The Trickster, he can summon those special Personas, along with special skills in the battlefield.
Marie: 1st of all, we have Ren's 1st Persona, Arsene, the gentleman thief, who can resist Curse spells, but is weak to Ice and Light. He can use Maeigaon, a powerful blast of dark crimson Curse explosion that harms all enemies around him, Dream Needle, a Physical type torrent of needle that has a chance of placing its target to sleep, Sukunda, which decreases the speed of its target, Brave Blade, a powerful Physical slash from his claws to the opponent, and Demonic Decree, where Arsene summons a massive scythe made out of Curse magic to half down the opponent's health.
Morning Star: Next in the mix, we have Yoshitsune, the Japanese general of the Genpei War near the end of the Heian era and start of the Kamakura era. This Persona can block Physical spells, resist Fire, and reflect Elec and Bless magic. He can use Heat Riser, which doubles the strength, speed and durability of Ren, Rakunda, which lowers the defense of 1 opponent, Maziodyne, which casts Elec magic to summon lightning bolts from the sky to rain down on all opponents, Charge, which increases the power of the next Physical attack by 250%, and Hassou Tobi, Yoshitsune's special attack, where he zooms towards the opponent, slashing them with his twin swords 8 times, dealing great Physical strikes to all foes. Just imagine this move combined with Charge. It can make wonders.

Her movest consists of Attack Master, which increases her strength automatically once she is summoned, Charge, which boosts her next Physical attack by 250%, and her ultimate move, Beast Weaver, where she creates a bull made out of maze-shaped red ethereal threads, effectively dealing colossal Physical damage to its foe. The down side of this attack, though, is that the attack of its caster is debuffed after it is used.
Morning Star: Up next, we have Izanagi, The creation deity of Japan. This Persona here can resist Elec magic, block Curse magic, but is vulnerable to Wind magic. He can use Wild Thunder, a powerful Elec magic skill that creates a bomb made out of thunder that explodes on all foes, Tarukaja, which buffs Ren's strength, Rakukaja, which buffs Ren's defense, and his strongest and special attack, Cross Slash, where he swings his spear at lightning fast speeds 2 times to deal massive Physical damage to the opponent, and it does not miss by the way.
Judge: Coming up next, we have Asterius, the bull-headed monster that is known as the Minotaur. This guy here can block Curse magic, resist Fire and Psychic magic, but is weak to Ice magic.

Marie: Next comes Alice, the fictional English ghost of a young girl that holds formidable magic powers after her death.

Justice: Then we have Tsukuyomi, the god born from Izanagi's right eye. This guy here can reflect Curse spells, resist Physical and Bless spells, but is weak to Nuke spells. Out of his moveset, he can use Life Drain, which allows him to absorb the health from a foe using Almighty magic, Spirit Drain, where he can absorb magic from his foe, Curse Amp, which amplifies Curse spells by 50%, Vorpal Blade, where he slashes the opponents several times in an instant, dealing massive Physical damage to all foes, and his strongest move, Abyssal Wings, where he creates massive dark crimson wings of Curse magic and slams all foes with it.
Morning Star: Up next, we have Magatsu-Izanagi, Izanagi's rival who leads all back into chaos. He is capable of blocking Bless and Curse magic, resist Gun magic, but is vulnerable to Nuke magic. He can use Megidola, which is a miniature version of Megidolaon, Maziodyne, which uses Elec magic to release lightning bolts from the sky to rain down on all enemies, Heat Riser, which increases strength, speed and defense, Ghastly Wail, which causes instant death to those who are inflicted with Fear, and his strongest attack, Magatsu Mandala, where massive runic crimson symbols of Curse magic are created around the enemy, before spinning rapidly, before exploding, nearly smiting all the opponents.
Judge: Coming next is Kaguya, the princess of the moon who was born from a glowing bamboo shoot. She has the ability to block Bless and Curse spells, resist Wind magic, but is weak to Fire magic. She can use Diarahan, a powerful healing spell that restores its caster's health to its full capacity, Divine Grace, which increases the potency of healing spells by 50%, Repel Phys, a passive skill that reflects any kind of Physical attack back to their own caster, Amrita Shower, a skill that heals all kinds of harmful aliments for both the casters and their allies, and her most unique wave, Shining Arrows, which releases 8 arrows of Bless magic that rain down on all opponents.
Marie: Next comes Daisoujou, an immortal, rotting monk. He can block Bless magic, resist Physical magic, but is weak to Curse. He can use Spirit Drain, which drains the magical energy from foes, Makouga, which uses Bless magic to release light beams from the sky on all opponents, Diarahan, which restores the health of its caster to full capacity, Me Patra, which cures the aliments of Dizzy, Forget, Sleep and Hunger, Null Rage, which makes Ren immune to being enraged and losing rational thought, Bless Boost, which increases the power of Bless attacks by 25%, and his strongest move, Samsara, which releases Bless magic to create massive exorcism papers around all enemies and a massive magic circle of light underneath their feet to cause instant death using Bless magic.
Justice: Up next we have Orpheus, the Greek poet that tried to revive his wife and save her from the clutches of Hades. He can resist Bless magic, but is weak to both Elec and Curse spells. He can use Blazing Hell, a power spell of Fire magic that buries all foes in a molten river of lava, Cosmic Flare, which releases a massive explosion of Nuke magic by borrowing energy from the cosmic energy of the galaxy to smite all foes, Fire Boost, which strengthen Fire magic attacks by 25%, Matarukaja, which increases the strength of its caster and their party, Matarunda, which decreases the strength of all enemies around its caster, Endure, a passive skill which allows Ren to survive death by a hair, and the Persona's special move, Cadenza, where Orpheus plays his harp to make his melody heal 50% of Ren's health, and even increase his speed at the same time, and if necessary, Ren can switch to the female version of Orpheus, which holds all skills, and even holds the upgraded version of Cadenza, which is called Neo-Cadenza, which also heals 50% of Ren's health, but also increases his strength, speed and defense at the same time.
Morning Star: Then we have Messiah, who is basically the Jesus Christ of the Persona verse. He is an all rounder Persona, who can reflect Bless, but is weak to Curse, and at the same time, he can resist Fire, Ice, Elec, Wind, Psychic and Nuke magics. He can use Megidolaon, the massive Almighty nuke attack, God's Hand, a colossal mechanical arm that crushes its victim with Physical force, Regenerate 3, a passive skill that restores 6% of Ren's health every few seconds, Enduring Soul, an amped version of Endure, which makes Ren survive death, and even restores his health to full capacity, Almighty Boost, a passive skill that strengthen Almighty attacks by 25%, Drain Phys, which absorbs all Physical damage and turns it into health to cure all of Ren's wounds, and Messiah's special move, Oratorio, which is a powerful healing spell that restores the health of the caster and their party to full capacity, alongside removing any kind of debuff.

Justice: Up next, we have Arsene's secondary form, Raoul. This Persona holds the same attributes as Arsene, but it is no longer weak to Ice magic. He can use Maeigaon, a blast of dark crimson Curse magic that hits all opponents, Curse Amp, a passive skill which increases the power of Curse attacks by 50%, Heat Riser, which increases Ren's strength, speed and defense, Concentrate, which increases the next magic attack by 250%, and his special skill, Phantom Show, which makes him create a fake moon using his black cape, where the moon releases energy pulses that immediately places all foes to sleep.
Morning Star: Going even more through the analysis, enter Izanagi-no-Okami, the true form of Izanagi, which resists Physical, Fire, Ice, Elec, and Wind magic. He can use Megidolaon, the powerful Almighty nuke that smites all foes, Concentrate, which increases the next magic attack by 250%, Mesializer, which heals all allies and the caster, and removes all debuffs and negative aliments, and his strongest attack, Myriad Truths, where he spins his halberd to release lightning bolts that are empowered by Almighty magic that conceptually erases all opponents.
Judge: Up next, we have Lucifer, the 1st fallen angel known as the Morning Star. He can drain Curse magic, block Physical and Gun magic, and resist Fire, Ice, Elec, and Wind magic. His moveset is Heat Riser, which increases Ren's strength, defense and speed, Debilitate, which decreases the strength, speed and defense of all foes, Survival Trick, which makes Ren survive death by a hair, Megidolaon, the powerful Almighty nuke that blasts all foes, Agneyastra, which uses Physical magic to summon meteors from the sky on opponents, Repel Bless, which reflects Bless magic attacks back to its caster, and his strongest and most special attack, Morning Star, where he uses Almighty magic to move all stars in creation in order to release a powerful beam that travels from the far edge of the universe in less than a second to smite all foes in its path.
Marie: Then, we have Maria, the virgin mother of the Messiah in the Christian mythology. She can absorb Bless magic, block Wind magic, resist Elec magic, but is weak to Fire magic. She is more passive when it comes to her abilities. She can use Heat Riser, which increases both strength, speed and defense, Mesializer, which heals the caster and his allies, removing all debuffs and negative aliments, and her special move, The Virgin's Compassion, which revives all allies to full capacity.
Justice: Last, but not least, we have Ren's ultimate Persona, which was obtained after accepting his rule as The Trickster that would save the 2 worlds from Yaldabaoth, where accepting said role allowed him to break the chains that sealed off Arsene's true potential, effectively awakening the former form of Satan before he was banished by God from the heavens, which is known as Satanael.
Marie: A truly nigh-invincible Persona who absorbs Curse magic, blocks Bless magic, and resists all other kinds of magic, Satanael is not only resistances, but also his moveset speaks loudly for him. He can use Maeigaon, the Curse magic explosion that hits all foes, Megidolaon, the infamous Almighty nuke that obliterates all, Survival Trick, which rescues Ren from death and revives him with only a hair of life, Riot Gun, where he shoots with his pistol to the sky, causing Gun magic bullets to rain down like thunder bolts, Cosmic Flare, a galaxy spanning Nuke magic explosion, Heat Riser, which increases strength, speed and defense of its caster, Unshaken Will, which grants immunity to all kinds of negative aliments, Black Viper, a spell that uses Almighty magic to form a black mass that takes the shape of a viper that delivers a colossal amount of damage with its bite on the foe, Demon Lord's Domain, a passive skill that strengthens all of its owner's attacks by a million fold, Victory Cry, a passive skill which restores Ren to top condition after a battle, and his strongest attack: Sinful Shell, A bullet made from the Seven Deadly Sins that can pierce even a god. This bullet was even used to take down Yaldabaoth, who was able to fuse 2 universes together.
Morning Star: However, Ren is not flawless. As a Persona user, Ren and his Persona share the same physical and mental pain upon being inflicted with it. In addition, if a Persona takes too much damage, a phenomenon called Persona Break would occur, where the Persona becomes unusable for a few seconds before its user can use it again.
Judge: Still, with his power, Ren has became the greatest and most strongest icon in the entire Persona verse if not all of Megami Tensei omniverse. As his own power, alongside his unwavering resolve has made him earn the title...Of the Savior of the Souls of Humanity.
"Beat me. Break me. Push me to the edge. Or kill me. But...Never will I...Bow to someone like you"
The Combatants Are Set[]
Morning Star: Alright. The combatants are set, and we have run the data through all possibilities.
Marie: Eek! I am so excited!
Justice: It's time to see who is the strongest hero ever...
Judge: It's Time For A DEATH BATTLE!
Poll[]
The Beginning[]
"I shall place you into eternal abyss..."
The god-like voice roared out, shaking out 12 individuals from their sleep. Each opening their eyes, they found themselves in a purple space with their footing being countless purple plates. The 12 stood up, some shaking their heads, some scratching on their hair. They then looked around them, with only the purple starry sky being in front of them, with nothing but both it, the purple floating platforms, and only them to look at.
"What the hell is going on here...?" Jotaro asked no 1 in particular.
Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of them, appearing in a burst of blinding light. He looked like an angel made out of iron, with English-shaped blonde hair, a white priest robe, and he was barefooted.
"Metatron?!" Ren blurted out in shock.
"Humans! My name is Metatron, God's greatest archangel. And i will be the inspector to your battle to determine God's right arm to repel the imprudent sinners fighting Him" Metatron exclaimed with a booming voice. Yato opened his mouth and was about to say something, but at that instant, Metatron's hand was bathed in bright light, before several images appeared of wounded and unconscious people appeared in front of the 12 residents of the Non-Euclidean Space, causing said 12 to recoil in shock.
"Hiyori!"
"Rias!"
"Hinata! Boruto! Himawari!"
"Orihime! Kazui!"
"Kid-kun!"
"Ky! Sin!"
"Shirou!"
"Hana! Tamara!"
"Jolyne!"
"Himeragi!"
"Satsuki! Mako!"
"Futaba! Sojiro!"
They all said the names of their respective loved 1s, which were shown in the bubble images, before said images faded away.
"I suppose that you know that the only way to get out of here is to kill each other until only 1 remains standing. Do not try doing anything outlandish and reckless" Metatron said.
"Bastard!" Kojou yelled out, but Metatron didn't reply for it. Instead he disappeared in a flash of bright light, leaving the 12 fighters, who stared at those who are around them, with cold sweat running down their faces. It was then when the silence was broken by Katja, who summoned Anastasia to her side as said copper puppet organized its own weapons, which in turn made Illya summon Berserker from inside her, where Hercules' towering form stood behind Illya protectively.
This made Ren brandish his knife, Paradise Lost, from his pocket, and in turn, Ryuko wiped out 1 of her 2 Scissors Blades, which in turn caused both Kojou and Jotaro to enter their fighting stances, followed by Maka giving a mental order to Soul to transform into his scythe form, and for Necro and Undine to erupt from Dizzy's wings upon sensing the high levels of power rising around them, where Ichigo took out both of his dual Zanpakuto from both behind his back and from his waist, where Naruto entered the 9-Tails Chakra mode.
No words were needed. Only their powers would determine the outcome, and none of them is going to stop until all other 11 are beyond dead...
Round 1: Battle Of The Souls Within[]
Wasting no time, the 12 combatants jumped away from the platform they were standing on, with each 2 scattering on a platform each.
The 1st platform held Issei and the dual team of both Yato and Kazuma.
"Come! Rekki!" Yato exclaimed before Kazuma was bathed in bright light, before said light traveled into Yato's hands, taking the form of a katana with a black hilt, where Yato now had a scarf wrapped around his neck and head, showing only his eyes. Wasting no time, Yato took his sword out of its scabbard, before charging towards Issei, who saw this, and mentally summoned his Boosted Gear to his left arm, before blocking the sword that came and tried looping off his neck. He then pushed Yato away, before channeling magic to his palm, creating a marble-sized energy ball.
"Dragon Shot!" Issei exclaimed, slamming his palm into the energy marble, causing it to expand, and fire a crimson energy beam at Yato, who managed to dodge at the nick of time, the beam barely grazing his neck that was protected by the scarf. Yato then charged forwards, before swinging his sword at Issei, who proceeded to block it with his gauntlet, before channeling Devil energy in his free palm, preparing to swing his palm at Yato's face, who gritted his teeth at this, before exclaiming.
"Return! Kazu!" He called out, causing his sword to glow bright, before reverting to Kazuma's human form, who appeared behind Yato, before pointing both his index and middle finger towards Issei.
"Restraint!" He exclaimed before Issei suddenly gasped, as he felt his entire body freeze, being unable to move, as if he was bound to his place by invisible chains. This gave Yato the chance to punch Issei in the face, causing him to stagger back a bit, before he spun on his heel, and delivered a roundhouse kick to Issei's other cheek, sending him spinning in the air, before he fell with a soft thud on the purple floating platform.
"Come! Rekki!" Yato called out, before Kazuma returned to his hands in his weapon form. Yato then charged once again at Issei, and upon reaching him, he stabbed his sword on him with both hands, but Issei managed to catch the blade with both hands before it stabbed through his heart, with both combatants gritting their teeth, trying to find dominance in their struggle. The struggle was then broken when Yato heard a booming voice exclaim
"I, who is about to awaken, Am the Red Dragon Emperor who holds the truth of the king up high..."
Gasping at this, Yato jumped away, feeling immense aura of power rising inside Issei's body, which in turn broke their struggle.
"...Holding the infinite hopes, and unbreakable dreams, and walking the path of righteousness, I will become an Emperor of Crimson Dragon..."
Sensing danger coming, Yato clicked his tongue, before slamming both his sword and scabbard together, causing fire to be set ablaze around his weapons, causing both sword and its sheath to transform into a bow and an ethereal arrow made out of fire. He then took aim at Issei, who was rising to his feet, with dense bright red aura lining his whole body. Yato then fired his fire arrow at Issei.
"And I will lead you to the Path of Heaven, glowing in deep crimson light!"
Upon the end of this chant, a massive burst of red energy erupted from Issei's form, blowing away Yato's fire arrow, and causing said stray god to shield his eyes from the bright light, which faded after a few seconds, and then it revealed Issei, but with an entirely different getup. He was clad in a bright crimson armor that had claws, long tail, and 2 glowing ethereal wings sprouting from his back.
"W-What...?" Yato muttered out in disbelief at the display of power in front of him.
"Yato...This energy output...It's so massive..." Kazuma said to his god, causing Yato to grit his teeth.
"I am not backing down! Not when Hiyori is in danger!" Yato roared out, before charging towards Issei, who charged towards him as well. Yato then slammed his sword into Issei, but the sword simply bounced off the armor, almost comically.
"Huh?" He blinked in surprise. This gave Issei the chance to give back an answer of his own, delivering a punch straight to Yato's nose, effectively breaking it and causing it to burst in blood. He then charged a red orb of Devil energy in his clawed palm, before slamming it into Yato's stomach, causing Yato's eyes to nearly burst out from their sockets, and for him to spit out a considerable amount of blood, before being sent away by a sonic boom towards the edge of the platform that he and Issei were fighting on, but luckily, he was able to gain his footing in time to prevent falling to the depths of the infinite space they were in, with his wounds healing within seconds.
He then gasped upon sensing danger approaching, yanking his head to the left side to barely dodge a Dragon Shot fired by Issei towards him. Yato then jumped to the left, before forming his bow and arrow once again by slamming both sword and scabbard against each other. He then took aim, and fired at Issei, but this time his fire arrow was even more faster and bigger than before, something that didn't escape Issei's eyes.
"Are you ready, Ddraig?!" Issei asked his tenant.
"As always, partner!" Ddraig roared out, before the wings of Issei's armor spread even wide open to the sides, before dozens of cannons appeared from the 'feathers' of the wings that Issei's armor had. The cannons then started building up crimson Devil energy inside of them, before they started glowing even more, and just as the fire arrow was about to pierce through Issei's armor...
"Crimson Blaster!"
The beam of magic energy erupted from the cannons, effortlessly overpowering the fire arrow and causing it to disappear instantly, before making their way to Yato.
"Revert! Kazu!" Yato yelled before Kazuma turned to his human form, being in front of Yato, holding 2 fingers up.
"Boundary!" He called out before making an ethereal blue line on the platform, where the beams of energy collided with it, and was blocked by some form of an invisible barrier.
Yato the reverted Kazuma to his weapon form, before charging ahead towards the Devil clad in crimson armor. Yato manifested his weapon in the form of a bow and an ethereal arrow of crimson fire, and aimed towards Issei, before firing it off, only for Issei to simply catch it in his armored claw, before throwing it towards its shooter, only for Yato to dodge it. This, however gave Issei the chance to dash faster than Yato's brain could process, before appearing in front of him, where Yato noticed that Issei's armor became a lot bulkier than it used to be the moment he appeared in the line of his sight.
"Solid Impact!"
Roaring out, Isei slammed his armored crimson fist right into Yato's face, causing said area to burst violently in blood. Issei then grappled Yato's arm, before judo throwing him on the platform they were both standing on, causing a crater the size of a house to appear on the spot upon Yato's body connecting with said spot. Kazuma reverted to his human form, before extending both his pointer and middle finger of his right hand.
"Bind!" He called out before Issei suddenly felt as if he was frozen in place, being held by what seemed to be invisible ropes or chains. Yato took this chance to recover, before delivering a punch to Issei's helmet covered face, effectively cracking it, but not shattering it. Issei followed with a punch of his right to Yato's stomach, causing said person to gasp as his oxygen supply was knocked out of his lungs. Kazuma, seeing this, proceeded to tackle Issei. While this didn't make any kind of damage, it was enough to make Issei back off a little bit.
"Boundary!" The Shinki exclaimed, before a blue translucent light blue wall appeared between both him, Yato and Issei.
"Reki!" Yato called out, causing Kazuma to revert to his sword form, before Yato tightened his grip on said weapon, then taking a deep breath. At the same time, the jewel on Issei's armor plate glowed in a bright green colour.
"You, who would desecrate this land of he using sun!..."
As Yato begun chanting, Issei's armor jewel started to glow even more.
"...With my advent, I, the god Yato..."
As Yato r both his pointer and middle finger of his left hand on the length of the blade, Issei's jewel started gathering energy at a rapid pace.
"...Shall lay waste with the Rekki..."
Yato's fingers ran to the tip of the sword, before he raised it above his head, where Issei's jewel glowed even more intensely.
"...And expel thy vast defilement!"
Yato's blade glowed in a light blue glow, and at the same time, Issei's armor jewel felt as if it was about to explode.
Both threw their attacks at the same second. Their roars shaking the heavens.
"Zan!"
"Longinus Smasher!"
Yato swung his sword, while Issei's armor jewel fired off a massive green energy beam. As both attacks collided, both seemed to be at a stalemate for a while, with Yato desperately pushing the energy beam, but in vain as it didn't move even an inch.
A few seconds afterwards, cracks started to show on Kazuma's sword form, where said Shinki felt pain all over its body, with Yato feeling the same pain, as the energy beam of the Longinus Smasher kept on pushing on the length of Yato's sword, causing even more cracks to appear around the entire length of the blade.
At that precise moment, Yato knew what would happen next. He closed his eyes, realizing his fate, and realizing that he failed. After that, he saw the image of the girl that he fell in love with inside his mind smiling purely like an angel.
"Forgive me...Hiyori..."
And right after that, Yato's Shinki shattered to millions of pieces, giving way to the destructive energy beam to engulf him, and silently erasing his form. After a few seconds, the beam dispersed, but there was nothing that remained of the god named Yato.
K.O.! (1)
"Alright. Now that this is done, I must take care of the others! Hang in there, Rias! I will save you!" Issei's exclaimed before flying towards the other platforms.
Round 2: Saviors Of The Worlds[]
The 2nd platform held both of Naruto and Ichigo.
Wasting no time, Naruto entered his Six Paths Sage Mode, and charged at Ichigo. Ichigo, in response, whipped out his 2 swords, placing them in an 'X' position, blocking the punch that Naruto threw. Naruto then called 2 Truth Seeking Balls from behind his back and morphed them into black rods, swinging them downwards at Ichigo, who proceeded to jump backwards. Naruto threw 1 of the rods at Ichigo, who swatted it away with his smaller sword, before he gasped upon seeing Naruto, with his remaining rod, right in front of him.
"You are mine!" Naruto exclaimed with a grin, before thrusting his rod forward...
"...Huh?"
...Only to stab through nothing but thin air.
"Bankai!"
And before Naruto could register what had just happened, a sudden shockwave blew him away, blasting him away, and causing him to fall off the platform. Clicking his tongue, Naruto created a golden chakra arm, which gripped onto the platform, preventing him from falling into the vast, seemingly infinite, rainbow-colored void. He then climbed up, and stood straight, only to gasp at what he saw.
Right in front of him stood Ichigo, but now he had a massive white krypter knife sword instead of 2, a white long horn that sported from the right side of his forehead alongside having his right eye becoming a black sclera with a sickly yellow iris, and a rather intimidating aura emitted from the Shinigami despite his rather cocky toothy grin.
"Yo. You're good, but I'm still better!" Ichigo exclaimed, before placing his sword beside his forehead, acting as a makeshift horn of sorts on his left side, before a massive ball of purple energy created itself in the middle of Ichigo's horn and sword.
Naruto, seeing this, called out.
"Sync with me, Kurama!" Naruto roared, before a massive golden Nine-Tailed Fox manifested itself on the floating platform, with Naruto being in the head of said beast. Kurama then opened its giant jaws, causing chakra to gather around his mouth in the form of a massive black ball.
And in that moment, both fighters exclaimed out loud.
"Gran Rey Cero"
"Tailed Beast Bomb"
As both Shinigami and Shinobi roared out, their respective attacks shot out, colliding with each other, fighting for dominance, but neither of them was able to overpower the other.
And just like that, a massive explosion erupted as both attacks detonated, causing Ichigo to teleport away, and for Naruto to shield himself using his Kurama Avatar. The explosion kicked out an enormous smokescreen, which obscured the view completely. However, the flash of a light blue light illuminated in the middle of the dust cloud, before a roar called out.
"Rasenshuriken!"
The tri-bladed chakra shuriken soared through the smokescreen, with its target being the floating Ichigo.
"Getsuga Tensho!"
The Shinigami followed with an arc of energy that was formed from the swing of his sword, effectively cleaving the Rasenshuriken upon making contact with it, and Naruto had to barely dodge the Reiatsu arc which flew away until it vanished in the infinite expanse of the brane space.
Both Naruto and Ichigo then landed on the purple platform, the smokescreen had just faded away, with both standing opposite to each other, glaring at each other.
"Y'know, we could have gotten along under better circumstances" Naruto said.
"Yeah. Same here" Ichigo shot back.
After exchanging those words, Naruto crossed his fingers together.
"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto called out, before a large smokescreen erupted around Naruto. The next thing that happened was multiple copies of Naruto charging at Ichigo like rockets.
Ichigo kicked an approaching clone, causing it to disappear, slashed another in half, punched another in the face, decapitated another, and so on.
The barrage of Shadow Clones suddenly stopped after a few minutes of Ichigo repelling them, causing a deafening silence to scream for a few seconds.
Suddenly, the smokescreen instantly faded in the same manner as it formed, revealing 1000 clones of Naruto, each holding a gigantic Rasengen.
"Sage Art: Massive Rasengen Mega Barrage!"
As Naruto's roar echoed from each one of his clones, each clone descended towards the Substitute Shinigami, who, in response, tightened his grip on his Zanpakuto. Reddish black Reiatsu dancing violently around him like a roaring relentless wave.
"Getsuga Tensho!"
Swinging his large sword in a horizontal arc, everything was silent for a second, even the Naruto clones were frozen in midair...Before they were instantly engulfed in a massive smokescreen.
"Tch!"
Clicking his tongue, Ichigo saw even more Naruto clones bursting out from the newly made smokescreen, particularly 9 clones, with each having a gigantic Rasenshuriken, but each was with a different color and element. Sand, Blue Fire, Water, Lava, Mist, Acid, Scale Powder, Ink, and Tailed Beast Bomb.
"Multiple Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken!"
"Bruh..."
Ichigo sweat dropped at this. This guy was isn't out of gas yet, huh?
"I'm gonna finish this!" Ichigo roared, before placing his sword as a pseudo horn once again, charging the purple ball of death.
And at the peak of its power, the orb of Reiatsu fired off, soaring in space in a direct beeline, heading towards Naruto and his other 9 clones.
A glint was the only thing that appeared as the clones were suspended in thin air, before suddenly...
KABOOM!
A thunderous explosion engulfed Naruto and his 9 clones, completely obstructing them from Ichigo's view. The Substitute Shinigami then narrowed his eyes, and saw a single body falling from the smokescreen.
No doubt that it was Naruto.
Ichigo braced himself, tightening his grip at his sword, before he saw Naruto, battered, bruised, burnt and his clothes were in complete shambles, slowly opening his palm, causing a blue orb to appear in his hand, the last of his Chakra being in this very Rasengan, the same technique that his father created, that his mentor taught, and also the Jutsu that he saw his son perform.
"Sorry, Boruto, Himawari. This is it for me..." He thought, a small smile appearing on his face as he started to walk towards Ichigo, who began to march slowly towards him.
"Hinata...I'm sorry...And thank you..."
He started to speed up, Ichigo did the same.
"But...If I'm going to my parents..."
His steps started to become faster, same with Ichigo.
"THEN I WILL GO OUT WITH A BANG, DATTEBAYO!"
Roaring from the top of his lungs, Naruto used what remained of his strength to charge at Ichigo, Rasengan glowing brightly in his hand. Ichigo also roared out a battle cry, his grip on his sword was so great that his knuckles were white. Both went all out for the final blow.
And as both neared each other, Naruto thrusted the orb of Chakra forward, and Ichigo swung his sword down with both hands.
SHIIK!
The sound of flesh being torn echoed throughout the Non-Eucleiden Space, with silence roaring in the battlefield between the Ninja and the Shinigami.
Both Naruto and Ichigo started at each, Naruto was standing with his arm thrusted forward with the Rasengan in it, while Ichigo was lowering his sword down while said weapon was still in both of his hands.
And then...
"Urk?!"
The Rasengan faded from his hand, before Naruto's body bursted in blood, a massive slash appeared on his upper body, traveling from his right shoulder blade and down to the left side of his waist. Ichigo staring silently, but his face grew a little sad, as he saw tears building in the corners of Naruto's eyes, despite the small smile that was plastered on his face.
"I tried my best, everyone..."
Time moved slowly to Naruto, as he started to fall on the ground. His thoughts travelled to his wife, his son, his daughter, his friends, his village.
Those were the last moments of a true hero.
"Say, Mom...Dad..."
As a tear fell from an eye each, Naruto's body fell on its back, his smile never vanishing, his eyes narrowed, staring blankly into the sky of the foreign realm.
A last thought, a question...That was left unanswered to the living, but was probably to be answered in the afterlife.
"...Did I...Do well...?"
The last thought crossed over to the afterlife to get its answer.
And with it, went the soul of Naruto Uzumaki, a true hero and a true leader.
K.O.! (2)
Ichigo simply stood there. Despite the scowl formed on his face, deep down inside he was crying his heart out.
This man, while he didn't know him, was the same as him. He was fighting for the sake of his loved 1s. And he just killed him.
Just like that.
At that thought, Ichigo shook his head.
It had to be done. He had to do this. It would have been him, or his wife and children, and if the roles were reversed, his opponent would have done the same.
Shaking out the bitter bile forming in his throat, Ichigo picked his Bankai Zanpakuto, took a deep breath, and jumped to another platform, leaving the corpse of a legendary hero behind, before the corpse itself dissolved into crimson dust.
Scattering through the space, forgotten...
Round 3: Uncontrolled Protection[]
Standing on another platform was Dizzy and Maka.
"I'll finish this real quick!" Maka exclaimed as Soul quickly transformed into his Scythe form and rested on Maka's hands.
Round 4: My Partner Is My Life[]
Round 5: Their Fight[]
Round 6: Clash Of Psyches[]
