119's "USO DA!" Edges

Sharp Melee: The Pickaxe is longer, however, the Nata is lighter, allowing for faster attacks, and has a larger lethal surface, being a bladed weapon, also giving it a greater chance of a one-shot kill. Edge: Rena Ryuguu

Blunt Melee: The Shovel takes this, especially if it's been sharpened, as it may have been if it can take off a man's head- the world has known the lethality of a sharpened shovel since World War I. Edge: Harry Warden.

Explosives: The Improvised Dynamite takes this- Rena's firebomb was more of a stationary device, while the dynamite is more portable, not to mention is a lot more lethal, being capable of an instant kill. Edge: Harry Warden.

Special: The Metal Pipe is an additional weapon, but much less effective than the Nata or baseball bat. On the other hand, the helmet will protect against strikes to the top of the head with the bat, pipe, and possibly even the nata, albeit to a lesser degree. Also, the light may be able to temporarily stun Rena. Edge: Rena Ryuguu.

X-Factors: In terms of strength, Harry takes an edge due to his larger size and proving able to decapitate with a shovel in one strike. On other hand, Rena has proved herself more agile in the Outbreak OVA, proving difficult to hit by a group of gunmen, at least at night, though it seemed like she was aided by their lack of any sort of light, and was evading their aim rather than actually dodging the bullets, giving her the edge. Rena is also more experienced in hand-to-hand combat. Both of them seem to brutally attack their enemies, so about even for tactics in terms of actual combat. Finally, as the fight is taking place in Hinamizawa, Rena will have the advantage in knowledge of the terrain.

Winner: Rena Ryuguu wins this battle in spite of Harry's secondary weapon edges. Rena's deadly nata, coupled with her superior agility will give her an advantage in close combat, along with her greater experience in hand-to-hand combat. Finally, Rena will be highly familiar with the Hinamizawa junkyard where the fight will take place, while Harry will have never seen the place before. This will allow Rena to evade his attacks and then get into a position to ambush him, much as she has with multiple other victims.
