WHO IS DEADLIEST

=Participants=

Shion Sonozaki (Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni)
A 17-year girl from the prestigious Sonozaki family, a family of great influence in the small town of Hinamizawa, Japan, and a family rumored to have Yakuza connections. In the summer of 1983, she succumbs to a local disease known as the "Hinamizawa Syndrome", a disease which manifests itself in violent behavior, and eventually suicide. Shion commits a number murders, sometimes disguising herself as her twin, Mion, while committing her crimes.

Leland "SKX" Vanhorn (Condemned series)
Leland Vanhorn, also known as Serial Killer X or SKX for short, was an already violent individual further destabilized by the action sonic emitters deployed by ancient cult known as the Oro Invictus. These devices emit a sonic frequency that causes brain damage, and caused already violent individuals to become more so. SKX murdered seven serial killers in his home city, as well as several police officers and others that got in his way. Later, after being shot by game protagonist FBI Agent Ethan Thomas, SKX becomes bent on killing Ethan and gaining entry to the Oro. As of the end of Condemned 2: Bloodshot, he appears to have succeeded.

=Weapons=

SKX and Shion: Hunting Knife
Shion Sonozaki and Leland Vanhorn both use a large hunting knife for many of their killings. The weapon appears to be a Bowie-style knife.

Edge
As both weapons are effectively identical, I deem this match up Even

Shion: Stun Gun/Syringe
Shion uses a stun gun coupled with a syringe filled with the Hinamizawa virus, in one case stunning a victim and then forcing them to suicide with the syringe. The stun gun is of the variety that requires direct contact with the target.

SKX: Throwing Knife
In Condemned 2: Bloodshot, SKX sneaks up on a SWAT officer and kills him instantly with a throwing knife, confirming the lethality of the weapon.

Edge
SKX for the greater range and killing ability of the throwing knife.

Shion: Tokarev TT-33
Shion uses a Tokarev against a group of Yakuza sent to kill her in a manga-only chapter of Higurashi. The Tokarev is a WWII-era Russian semi automatic 7.65mm handgun with a seven-round magazine.

SKX: M1911
SKX uses an M1911 he stole from FBI Agent Ethan Thomas, which he uses to kill two police officers. The M1911 is a .45 caliber semi automatic handgun with an 7-round magazine.

Edge
SKX because of the stopping power of the M1911

Shion: AK47
Shion uses the classic Russian AK47 assault rifle in the last chapter of the Higurashi manga. The AK is a 7.62mm assault rifle with a 30-round magazine, capable of semi and fully automatic fire, and known for its ease of use.

SKX: Sonic Emitter
After being inducted into the Oro Invictus at the end of Condemned 2, SKX was given surgical implants in the jaw and chest that allow him to emit sonic frequencies that can cause brain damage and eventually prove fatal.

Edge
Shion, because, as shown in Condemned 2: Bloodshot, firearms can outrange the maximum effective range of Oro sonic emissions, and, unlike the sonic emisssions, are instantly fatal.
