WHO IS DEADLIEST!? =Combatants=

Rena Ryuguu
Rena Ryuguu is a girl from Hinamizawa, Japan, who lived in Ibaraki prefecture for a period of time, until she went on the rampage around her school, smashing windows with a baseball bat. Rena's rampage was caused by an illness local to Hinamizawa, the Hinamizawa Syndrome, which manifests itself in violent behavior, delusions, paranoia, and eventually suicidal behavior in severe cases. Higurashi takes place through several story arcs, each with a different retelling of of the plot, some featuring Rena as the murderer and some as the victim. Rena's preferred weapon is a machete-like tool, called a nata.

Norman Bates
Bates is a serial killer whose family ran a motel in Arizona. Bates was deeply attached to his mother, and after her death, created in alternate personality which literally was his mother, and kept her body hidden in the basement of their house, located next to the motel. Bates would murder anyone who angered his "mother", particularly other women who attracted his attention, committing the crime in the guise of his mother. =Weapons=

Nata (Rena)
Rena uses a tool called a nata as a weapon. The nata is similar in function to a machete or hatchet, but more similar in appearance to meat cleaver. Rena's nata is about three feet long, and has a point at the tip pointing the same direction as the edge, a feature not present on most nata. The nata is pictured in Rena's main picture.

Kitchen Knife (Norman)
Norman Bates uses a kitchen knife as his primary weapon. For the purposes of this match, Bates' knife will have a blade of about eight inches.

119's Edge
Rena's Nata for its superior reach and lethality.

Glass Shard (Rena)
At one point when Rena is caught without her nata, she picks up a shard of broken glass that appears to be about four to six inches in length.

Needles (Norman)
I actually don't remember Norman using needles in the movie, but I last saw it in film class over a year ago so.. yeah. Anyway, for this case, the needles will be a couple inches long.

119's Edge
Rena's Glass Shard as it actually has the potential to kill, rather than just distract.

Improvised Firebomb (Rena)
At one point in Higurashi, Rena holds her school hostage using an improvised firebomb made by clogging the school's rain gutter downspout with a ball and filling it with gasoline. Rena then used a kitchen timer rigged to a damaged wire as a crude timing and ignition mechanism. For the purposes of this match, Rena will have already set up the firebomb in a nearby building.

Car (Norman)
OK, in the movie, Bates only used the victim's car to dispose of the victim's body in a conveniently located swamp, but in the case of this match, he will be able to attempt to run Rena over.

119's Edge
Bates' Car for it greater mobility. =X-Factors=
