Edges

Melee: Even. While Kazuo's sword is a deadly weapon, and he has wielded it with dangerous force in the past, Lara's Ice Axe is a much more versatile weapon. With it, she can bludgeon or stab, alongside functioning as an effective climbing tool if Lara wants to escape or navigate the environment. It's versatility vs raw effectiveness, and I'm having trouble picking an edge on this one.

Pistol: Lara Croft. The Beretta is a significantly more powerful gun with much more ammo than the Walther PPK, and Lara is a more reasonable and intelligent shot than Kazuo. Easy edge.

Hand Cannons: Lara Croft. Both handguns are equally powerful, but Lara's has 1 extra round, giving it that tiny bit of an edge in a frenetic gunfight between the two.

SMG: Lara Croft. This is a place where superior skill with a weapon overcomes having a superior weapon. Kazuo has a better gun in the form of the Uzi, but his "spray and pray" attitude means that hes going to waste any real advantage he has against Lara's Type 100. Unlike her lunatic foe, Lara shoots to kill.

Special: Lara Croft. The grenade is more dangerous, certainly, but it's a more imprecise weapon when compared to Lara's bow, which is much more accurate and stealthier. While Kazuo's grenade could flush Lara out, she can simply take potshots at him from a distance, then slip into the shadows unimpeded and unnoticed.

X-Factors: Lara Croft. Kazuo Kariyama has an average of 60.1, whereas Lara Croft has an average of 67.8.

Deadliest Warrior: Lara Croft. This should be an easy-ish win for Lara Croft. She's more experienced, better trained, better equipped, and in better physical and mental health. While Kazuo is dangerous, he's really no more dangerous than the numerous pyschos Lara has fought on the island. She should take this one without too much issue. Overall Score: ​780-220
