Phoenix's edges with explosive results

Wakizashi vs wooden staff

The wakizashi easily takes the edge here because the short sword can provide much more killing power then a staff, and Kazou can wield one with some degree in skill. As in the movie, he performs a jump sneak attack on a kid named Oda then he decapatates him and stuffs a grenade in his mouth. And throws it at the main protagonist. Kousuke has been shown with no melee skills at all except for killing frogs.

Edge. Kazou

PPk vs BIMS

This was a tough one here for me because I had ask myself the question "can a gun beat explosives?" then I weighed down the advantages bullets have over bombs. Bullets are next to impossible to avoid when coming straight at you, but BIMS can be avoided if you get out of the blast radius. If a bullet misses its target it misses its target. But a BIM has a blast radius meaning he doesn't have to his Kazou spot on. He could not even him and the explosion would still effect him for this reason the BIMS get the edge.

Edge. Kousuke

Pineapple granade vs impact BIM

This is a close one here because pineapple grenades relay on shrapnel damage then explosive damage and the impact BIM makes a huge explosion but little to no shrapnel. For this one I am calling it a draw because their advantages negate each others disadvantages.

Edge. Draw

Kazou's gun aiming vs Kousuke's throwing arm

In the movie, Kazou maintains a somewhat decent aim as he was able to shoot and kill almost all the classmates. While Kousuke has an adequate throwing arm, he is able to throw BIMS about 20-25ft maybe 30ft If really wants to. He also has a good aim so I am going to give it to Kousuke here

Edge. Kousuke

X-factors

Strategy Most of Kazou's strategies are simply run and shoot with little to no plan, but Kousuke's strategies are a bit better. As he is a regular player of the game BTOOOM and he knows how to play it with a good deal of skill both in the game and the real life game.

Edge. Kousuke

Blood lust While Kazou is a Psychopath enough already. Kousuke is a full blown psychopath as he even gruesomely murdered his dad in cold blood. his obvious love for killing other living creatures is very apparent in the anime. I'm giving it to Kousuke.

Edge. Kousuke

Pain tolerance In the anime Kousuke seems to have a moderate to low tolerance to pain. In the Battle Royal manga, Kazou is shown to have a high tolerance for pain, such as when, after killing a girl named Mitsuko, he cuts his arm open and tapes the muscles that control his index finger back so as to permanently pull said finger back into a position that allows him to fire at a much more rapid rate.

Edge. Kazou

Long range weapons

The only long range weapons Kousuke has is his homing BIMS. Kazou has a gun And will not think twice to use it giving him the edge.

Edge. Kazou

Final verdict. Kousuke Kira
