119's "Inhumanly Human" Edges


 * Primary: Ken's Kagune and Lucy's Vectors are used similarly in combat, both to attack and for propulsion, using them to push off dozens of meters into the air. While Ken's Kagune has a longer range and provides an enhanced healing factor, Lucy's vectors have one crucial advantage, unlike Ken's Kagune, Lucy's Vectors are invisible to all except Diclonius, meaning Ken will be unable to predict where the next attack will come from. Lucy's vectors are also more versatile. In addition to being used to cut through objects, including human flesh, as well as smash the with blunt force (the Vectors can even break through a steel blast door in a few seconds), the vectors can block attacks, be used for locomotion, and can be used to lift and throw objects as large as a small boat, and launch a pen with force apparently rivaling a bullet, and even throw a 2x4 hard enough to embed it in concrete. Finally, by lowering the density of her vectors, Lucy can even make them phase through the skin of a target and cause internal damage. This could come in very useful given Ken's ghoul physiology, though given the strength of her vectors, Lucy would likely be able to damage him regardless. For this reason, I give the edge to Lucy and her vectors.


 * Secondary: The MP5 is a good gun, sure, but Lucy only uses it once for a short period of time, so she has little experience with firearms. Also, Ghouls have bulletproof skin, and while they can be overwhelmed by sustained fire, Lucy is unlikely to be able to lay down that kind of fire and will probably just abandon the weapon in favor of losing her vectors. Ken's Kakuja does have the negative impact of reducing his mental health, but it at least doubles his attack range and is more likely to harm Lucy. Edge: Ken
