WHO IS DEADLIEST!? =Combatants=

Kyouko Sakura
Kyouko is a major character in the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica, a dark deconstruction of the "magical girl" genre (Akemi Homura appears in the same series). Kyouko was the daughter of a priest of an unspecified Christian denomination living in the town of Mitakigahara, Japan, who (unsurprisingly considering his location) had few followers and was not making enough money (from tithe or donations or however priests make living). At this point, Kyouko made a contract with a mysterious cat-like creature known as Kyubey, granting Kyouko's wish to give her father more followers, in exchange for the Kyouko becoming a magical girl... but there was a catch... in order to survive, a magical girl must fight monsters called witches and cleanse her "soul gem" (its exactly what it sounds like) using the remains of the witch. After the initial increase in followers, however, Kyouko's father's church attendance crashed and he went into debt. Sometime after this point, Kyouko ran away from home, periodically fighting witches and stealing food to survive. At this point, she meets Madoka Kamame, Akemi Homura, and the other characters of the series. Kyouko has since become very cold, agressive, and cynical, caring little for the emotions or even the lives of others, though she eventually becomes close friends (and possibly more) with fellow magical girl Sayaka Miki. Kyouko's weapon is a spear, which she is extremely skilled at wielding, easily blocking attacks and making powerful thrusting and slashing attack. The spear can also split apart into a chain-whip.

Iron Knuckle
The Iron Knuckle is a sub-boss enemy that appears in the Legend of Zelda series, making a notable appearance (at least the one I best remember) as a sub boss at multiple points in the Spirit Temple. The Iron Knuckle appears to be a massive suit of armor about six to seven feet tall, armed with a large, long-handled battle axe. The Iron Knuckle seems to be magically animated, as when it is destroyed, there is (usually) no one inside. In spite of its large size, the Iron Knuckle will be destroyed if it sustains enough damage, even from a small weapon, such as young Link's Kokiri Sword. The Iron Knuckle can sustain large amounts of damage and can dish out severe damage with its large axe, which is capable of cutting through stone columns. The Iron Knuckle, however, is not without its weaknesses, namely its extremely slow movement speed, making its easy to avoid its attacks, as well as the fact that its axe is prone to get stuck in the floor if it makes a downward strike, making the Iron Knuckle vulnerable to attack while it dislodges its weapon. =Weapons=

Modular Spear (Kyouko)
Kyouko's spear is extendable ranging from about six to twelve feet long, with a large, triangular point that can be used for both thrusting and slashing attacks and a blunt weight on the other end of the spear. The weapon's handle is capable of being broken down into multiple pieces connected and being swung around like a whip, giving it a range of perhaps up to twenty feet.

Axe (Iron Knuckle)
The Iron Knuckle's axe is a large, double-bit axe about six feet in length. The Axe is capable of causing severe damage to anything it contacts, even cutting down stone columns. The main weakness of the axe, however is that fact that it is prone to get stuck in the ground with vertical strikes. =X-Factors= =Videos=
