Shiki Ryougi: the girl whose eyes give her the power to kill any being, destroy any object, or dispel any magic with only a knife.

vs

Saint of Killers: the gunslinger whose pistols can kill everyone, even Satan and God.

What happens when we put two famous characters known for their ability to uber-kill anyone from the realms of comics and manga to the death? Who is deadliest?!

Shiki Ryougi
Shiki Ryougi was born to a family of skilled martial artists who were descended from "demon hunters" in late 20th-century Japan, Shiki was born with two personalities, one male and one female. Shiki was hit by a truck sometime in her final year of highschool, placing Shiki in a coma for two years from 1996-1998. During her coma, Shiki loses her male personality, stating that "he" died in her place.

Shiki also gains her signature power "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" allowing her to see "the mortality of all things", essentially enabling her to kill any living thing, destroy any object, and dispel any magic with only her trademark knife. The mystic eyes manifest themselves as lines which only Shiki can see or interact with. Cutting a line will bisect an object, in the case of a human, often severing a limb, while thrusting into the point where the lines meet will instantly kill any living thing, destroy any object, or dispel any magic. Shiki also has a magical prosthetic arm which can grip objects from a range and grip spirits. Shiki also has superhuman speed, enabling her to lunge with her knife a distance of three meters at extreme speeds. In addition, using a katana, Shiki can extend her lunge distance to nine meters.

Weapons
Shiki's Mystic Eyes allow her to see lines and dots on an object that represent the "mortality" of any living thing, even those which are normally immortal, inanimate object, or magic and strike it with any weapon. Basically, Shiki can kill any living thing, destroy any object, or dispel any magic with only her knife, or even her fingernails. The mystic eyes manifest themselves as lines which only Shiki can see or interact with. cutting a line will bisect an object, in the case of a human, often severing a limb, while thrusting into the point where the lines meet will instantly kill any living thing, destroy any object, or dispel any magic. An ability of Shiki's magical prosthetic arm that allows her to grab objects from a distance and touch that which is normally intangible. The spirit grip allows her to move around by grabbing and pulling herself towards a distant object or to physically restrain or choke a distant target. Shiki's magically enhanced superhuman agility comes into its own here, allowing her to lunge at an opponent so fast, she appears to teleport. Shiki can lunge three meters when armed with her knife and nine meters when armed with a katana. If the target more than three/nine meters away, Shiki must pause mid-way through, but can make another lunge in a second or less.
 * Main: Mystic Eyes of Death Perception
 * Secondary: Spirit Grip
 * Third: Superhuman Speed and Agility

Weaknesses
There are some certain limitations to Shiki Ryougi's mystic eyes. While it can technically destroy almost everything both physical and metaphysical, it must be an external source. The target must be something that she can stab, and Shiki can't target an ability. It must also be in melee or throwing range in order to work.

Then there's also the fact that aside from her superhuman speed and agility, Shiki seems to be at least peak-human and wall-level at most in terms of physical attributes.

Saint of Killers
The Saint of Killers is the Patron Saint of Murderers and Assassination. He was originally a soldier serving in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. After the war, he makes his living in the American West by collecting Native scalps and bounty hunting, until he rescues a young woman and the two fall in love and have a daughter. When his wife and child fall ill, he attempts to fetch medicine for them, but is delayed by a blizzard and gang of outlaws, which results in his family's death. He subsequently slaughters much of the gang and kills an innocent hostage, but runs out of bullets before killing the leader, which leads to his death.

Death takes him, and, because of the innocent life he took, he is consigned to perdition. His own hatred and indignation over the injustice of his death and that of his family causes Hell to literally freeze over (much to the Devil's wrath), which causes the Angel of Death to offer him to return to Earth under the condition that he takes up his role of collecting the souls of those who die by violence. Melting the Angel of Death's sword in Hell's last burning fire, the Devil forges two Walker Colt revolvers that will kill anything, never miss their target, never leave his possession, and never run out of bullets. The now resigned Angel of Death dubs the man "The Saint of Killers". However, the Devil makes the mistake of insulting Saint as he returns to Earth, prompting the angry Saint to gun the Devil down as his first victim, leaving the fate of Hell unknown. Following the Devil's demise, the Saint kills the rest of the bandits and purges the town of Ratwater simply because of his nature, and rests at a tomb on Boot Hill while his spirit gathers souls that die by violence. He is awakened once Genesis merges with Custer, and begins to pursue him. The two finally join forces, and after Custer lets himself be killed to release Genesis, God returns to Heaven, where the Saint has slaughtered all of the angels. The Saint guns Him down, ending His tyranny. With no one left to kill anymore, the Saint sits upon God's Throne and returns to sleep as the world is bathed in peace.

Weapons
The Saint of Killers possesses a pair of Walker Colt revolver pistols, which were bequeathed to him by the Angel of Death, composed from the previous Angel's steel sword and forged in the last fire that burned in Hell. They possess unlimited ammunition, never need to be reloaded and never jam. Any shot fired from these guns will always hit its mark, even piercing modern tank armor to reach the intended target. His weapons are ultimately lethal to anything: humans, angels, demons, Satan, or even God, any wound inflicted is always fatal regardless of circumstance.
 * Main: Divine Colts

The Colts are even made more lethal with the Saint's godly quickdraw speed. Being the fastest gunslinger of his time, the Saint is able to draw his guns faster than a man can see. He's been able to outdraw everyone from humans to even supernatural beings. To give you an example of his quickdraw, the guy once gunned down the whole Heavenly host in just one draw with his colts.

During the time when he was still alive, the Saint of Killers has shown great efficiency with the use of melee weapons such as knives and a cavalry saber. He's used a sword to easily cut human beings during his time in the Civil War and in the Old West. While he never showed his swordsmanship skill during his time as the embodiment of death, its not impossible that he would still retain the skills he had with a blade (like ever other skill he learned when he was still alive).
 * Secondary: Swordsmanship

As God's harbringer of death, the Saint had similar power with the Angel of Death in that he can be anywhere where he is needed. This is useful for his job as death itself, since needs to be everywhere in the world where someone's clock has finally run out. With his teleportation, he can easily appear wherever he wants to be. He can easily travel between Earth and Heaven as well. The only being so far to elude him is Jesse Custer and the all-powerful being named Genesis, as he needed to take a boat from America to France in order to track them.
 * Third: Teleportation

Weaknesses
The Saint's killing powers have some problems throughout the series (or plot-holes if you can call them that). The most obnoxious is that while the Colt can kill virtually everyone from angels to Satan, it couldn't kill the vampire Cassidy for some reason. This could be interpreted that the colts probably don't work on the undead, or that the Saint didn't want to kill Cassidy at that time. The writer Garth Ennis admitted that this was a writing mistake since he was still on the process of writing the character, so the Saint DEFINITELY could have killed Cassidy.

Besides that, the effects of the Colt on metaphysicality is also limited. For one, it was shown to be able to kill the Angel of Death who's basically the embodiment of death itself. But it couldn't destroy God while he sat on the Throne; an object that personified "eternity" itself.
