Short Range: The katana is absolutely going to take this category. For one, it's an actual weapon. You ever try to kill someone with a truncheon? I haven't but it doesn't sound too easy. Like, at all. The truncheon isn't even designed to be a lethal weapon so it'd be very awkward to even use the thing.

Edge- Hirai Norio

Mid Range: Now both of these weapons are used for different things. The kanabo is a more anti armor weapon, smashing shields and opening up armor. But the longsword on the other hand is used on people, to kill them to death. The longsword is quicker but it'd do less damage than the kanabo. The kanabo does more damage but is slower than the longsword so it could leave you open. This ultimately does give the edge to the Longsword as it'll be more user friendly.

Edge- William Vigiles

Long Range: The crossbow will be more of a liability here than the yumi. A guy with a yumi will be able to get off more arrows than a guy with a crossbow. The reload time for a crossbow will be much slower, so you'd spend more time running from arrows than reloading.

Edge- Hirai Norio

Special: Two weapons are better than one in most cases and this is one of them. For one, they're longer. A longer reach will keep you out of the reach of your opponent. As well as having two weapons will just be better all around really.

Edge-Hirai Norio

Armor: Hirai's armor may be lighter, it may not cover as much, but that won't hamper him too much. For one, it'll better suit his fighting style. Vigiles' armor may protect better, but with Norio's weapon edges, all his armor will do is prolong the inevitable.

WINNER: Hirai Norio. His weapons edges will greatly help cover the difference between armors, and his will to do good will greatly push him to victory.
