A Ghost Investigating a Ghost

Yea, Kira's gonna get to watch that ghostly tape, alright. As mentioned by my fellow voters, Kira is a man (apparition, actually) of charisma and his intelligence means that in a span of at least one day and six hours (maybe even less), the guy's gonna find out what's all the fuss about this Machine Spirit and seek out to eliminate Sadako... by watching the tape first. Hey, they're gonna duke it out in the end, anyway. Nothin' much to say here. The main difficulty I can think of as an obstacle for Kira is how to find the tape's real location. I mean, its existence is whispered in rumours, and it's likely that it moves from place to place thanks to those meddling teenagers.

A Ghost Fighting a Ghost

Sadako's telepathy, telekinesis, and her possession won't actually do much good against Kira. Kira's mind can be read, but what does Sadako use such powerful ability for? Warning him of her coming, allowing Kira to prepare the ghast's annihilation. Luckily, Sadako's screenportation will give her that unpredictability advantage. Problem? Kira's not one to be much surprised by ambushes and the moment he unleashes his spirit-searing weapons, Sadako will be utterly crapped upon as she won't expect something she assumed to be a regular gun actually hurting her. Her teleportation gives her a mobility advantage, too, but she doesn't possess the overall combat speed required to keep up with Kira, whose athletic prowess helps him to move around this battle without having to go through portals whatnot. I'll give it to her that she's stronger, but that doesn't mean much if Kira can keep his distance from her regardless of her teleportation's point of origin. Her hair can be used as a distraction and all, but Kira's not one to feel pain so he may be able to tank her attacks so easily. I'm giving this one to Kira if it's not obvious, though. Sadako has more powers, but many of them could easily give her the edge if she applied them in more... destructive ways. For example, mind-raping Kira (actually possible because of her memory manipulation thingie) to death, or just utterly destroying his very existence with her soul manipulation. The Death Stare... does that work on spirits, though?

WINNER: YOSHIKAGE KIRA

Sadako has more powers and a wider range of experience compared to Kira, but it is Kira who comes more prepared and suited for combat in this battle. Sadako is going to get herself a 'victim', yes, but this victim is no helpless whelp, but a brutal strategist who will use that precious one week to counter her own ambush and arm himself with effective ghost weapons. Sadako's code is one hell of an obstacle for herself, knowing that she will constantly remind Kira that she's coming and she nearly always appears in front of her 'victims'. Yeah, sure, pop your head right in front of Kira. Let him just aim his ghost gun and kill ye while yer crawlin' out of a bloody TV. Overall, Kira takes this, but not without challenges. The Onryo (?) has many tricks up her sleeves, and Kira will find it harder than he thought to pin and kill this being.
