WHO IS DEADLIEST!?

Yuuji Kazami
"I guess I was late introducing myself. My name is Kazami Yuuji, remember that as you sail straight to hell!"

- Kazami Yuuji, after killing his clone

Yuuji Kazami was born sometime in the late 1990s to an ordinary Japanese couple. During his childhood, Yuuji was constantly overshadowed by his highly intelligent child prodigy older sister, Kazuki, who was a professional artist even in her childhood. Yuuji's parents doted on his sister while neglecting Yuuji. The only member of his family who showed Yuuji kindness was Kazuki herself.

Yuuji's already troubled life turned for the worst when Kazuki was killed in a bus accident, and Yuuji's father descended into alcoholism. During this period, Yuuji and his mother were regularly abused by his father, forcing them to flee from their home. After leaving, Yuuji felt some small degree of peace, and his mother even started showing him the affection she never had in his early childhood. All this ended, however, when Yuuji's father found them and attempted to rape his mother. Yuuji struck his father of the head with a glass bottle, killing him. Shortly afterwards, his mother committed suicide.

After the death of his mother, Yuuji was taken in by Heath Oslo, a wealthy man who would have initially treated Yuuji kindly, if not for the bizarre behaviour of making Yuuji dress as his sister. When Yuuji is forced to kill an attacker, one of Oslo's clients a second time, Oslo shows his true colours, and forced Yuuji into an illegal child soldier program with the goal of developing super soldiers. After years of brutal training and being forced to kill countless times, Yuuji taken in by Asako Kusakabe, a female JSDF soldier who rescued him from his captivity. Asako instils a sense of duty that inspires Yuuji to enlist in the military while (presumably) lying about his age at 16. By just one year later, Yuuji proves himself the best marksman in the JSDF. It is not long after that when Yuuji meets a group of unusual girls who would change his life, and eventually, lead him to cross paths with Oslo a second time.

Shirou Yusa
"Burn in hell, Vampire! Sing your Sieg Heils there forever!”"

- Shirou Yusa, killing Wilhlem Ehrenberg

‘’’Note: The Shirou in this battle will be “Badass Normal” Kasumi route version who possesses no superhuman abilities beyond enhanced strength and durability.’’’

Shirou Yusa is a major character in the anime and visual novel Dies Irae, and the best friend of protagonist Ren Fujii in spite of their clashing personalities. Shirou can be described as a rebellious and aggressive delinquent who is highly intelligent in spite of his nature, in contrast to the more level-headed Ren. At the beginning of the visual novel, Shirou and Ren get into a fight that lands both of of them in hospital. While Ren spends an extended period of time in hospital, Shirou leaves early and meets up with Eri Honjou, a girl with a similar personality to his own while wandering the streets of Suwahara. The two of them have a narrow escape from the nigh-immortal Nazi occultist organization Longinus Dreizen Orden, who are in Suwahara to conduct a ritual to revive their leader, Reinhard Heydrich, and ascend him to godhood. Since then, Eri and Shirou dedicate themselves to hunting the LDO.

Shirou meets up with Ren after he also encounters the LDO, at which point the plots of the visual novel branch off depending on the players actions, however, in multiple routes, Shirou engages in combat with Wilhelm Ehrenberg, a member of the LDO with vampire-like powers on multiple occasions before finally defeating him, most impressively in Kasumi’s route, where he kills him using conventional weapons, along with discovering and exploiting Ehrenberg’s weaknesses, while possessing no superhuman powers of his own, beyond enhanced strength and pain tolerance.

=Weapons=

Glock 17 (Yuuji)
The Glock 17 semi-automatic handgun is the full-sized 9mm variant of the Glock series of handguns. The weapon is, like all Glocks, made mostly of plastic, meaning it has a very light weight. The Glock 17 has a standard magazine with a capacity of 17 rounds and has an effective range of a 50 meters.

Desert Eagle (Shirou)
The IMI Desert Eagle is a handgun famous for firing a .50 caliber bullet, known for its stopping power. Although the Desert Eagle can deliver severe damage at ranges theoretically at ranges of up to 50 meters, it is inaccurate as heavy recoil will force the user to reacquire the target and because it is meant to be used at a close range, this inaccuracy is only increased at a distance. It should be noted, however, that Shirou has practically superhuman strength, being able to fire the weapon one-handed as easily as a normal pistol and even do a “spread shot” by sweeping the weapon sideway in a “gangsta grip” while firing repeatedly. The weapon has a seven-round magazine.

119’s Edge
This one is tough- if both sides were normal humans, this would easily go to the Glock, however, Shirou has enough strength and a resistance to pain to qualify as a “low-grade superhuman”, making it possible for his to use a Desert Eagle one-handed as easily as a conventional handgun, as well as shrug off strikes from a superhuman and even keep living for a short period of time after being impaled on multiple spikes (though he died soon after). Yuuji has similar strength, having kept fighting after taking bullets, stab wounds, shotgun blasts, and explosions, and has taken down multiple soldiers with assault rifles armed only with a knife (albeit while in the close confines of an aircraft carrier). What I meant to say is that in several bad ends, Yuuji had been crippled or even killed after taking severe injuries. The point being, in this fight, the Desert Eagle takes a rare edge, as the user can use it as efficiently as a normal person uses a Glock, and it will do more damage to the highly durable Yuuji.

Mark II Frag Grenade (Yuuji)
While he never uses it in combat, Yuuji is known to possess a Mark II frag grenade, which he uses to fake Yumiko Sakaki’s death. The Mark II or Mk 2 Fragmentation Grenade was first designed in 1918, as a replacement for the unreliable Mk I grenade. The weapon was the standard issue grenade for US forces in World War II, and was used until it was phased out around the time of the Vietnam War, though some are still in use in Third World countries today. The grenade initially had a TNT charge, but it was found that TNT produced fragments too small to be effective. Because of this, a the TNT version was used as an HE grenade, while a version loaded with EC (smokeless firearm powder), which produced more effective fragments, was issued. The weapon is commonly referred to as a "pineapple grenade" because of the gridded grooves cut into the side, intended at the the time to help with fragmentation, though in truth, they had no such affect.

M67 Frag Grenade (Shirou)
In his fight with Rusalka Schwägelin in the anime, Shirou makes use of an M67 fragmentation, admittedly to no effect, and he also uses an unspecified model of frag grenade in the visual novel, using it to create a backdraft explosion to harm the fire-vulnerable Wilhelm Ehrenberg. The M67 fragmentation grenade is the current standard issue hand grenade for the United States and other military forces worldwide. The grenade was first issued in the 1970s, replacing the M26 and M61 grenades used during the Vietnam War. The grenade is activated by pulling the safety pin and then throwing the grenade. Pulling the pin releases the safety lever or "spoon", however, the spoon should be held in place by the users hand until the grenade is thrown, at which point the spoon releases, activating the fuse.

119’s Edge
Shirou’s M67 Fragmentation Grenade for its more modern design and more even fragmentation pattern.

IED (Yuuji)
The second explosive Yuuji is known to have training with (and presumably have used, albeit off screen) is pipe bomb-style improvised explosive device. The bomb had an electrical detonator attached, and for the purposes of this match, will be remote detonated.

Incendiary Grenade (Shirou)
In the second fight with Wilhelm Ehrenberg in the Kasumi route of the visual novel, Shirou uses an unknown model of incendiary grenade. Based on the behavior of the weapon, it may be some form of white phosphorus grenade, as it has a larger area of effect than a thermite grenade.

119’s Edge
While the incendiary grenade has the potential to absolutely devastating at close range, Yuuji’s IED has a larger blast radius than the incendiary and can be detonated remotely for uses as trap.

Bayonet (Yuuji)
The Bayonet used by Yuuji is a modern "knife bayonet" intended to double as a combat knife. As Yuuji does not usually carry an assault rifle, he uses it as a knife, and is a highly skilled knife fighter and close combatant, at one point killing several rifle-armed enemies with only his knife. The weapon has about 12 inches long with a 7-inch blade.

Wooden Cross (Shirou)
In his final battle with Wilhelm Ehrenberg, Shirou impales him through the heart with a wooden cross taken from the top of a church. As Ehrenberg’s powers had the weakness of making him vulnerable to all of the weaknesses of a vampire, this literally counted towards both the weakness against crosses and being stabbed through the heart with a wooden stake, killing Ehrenberg instantly. Against anyone else, however, it’s just a normal sharp piece of wood.

119’s Edge
A wooden cross with the end broken off, turning it into a stake, is a great weapon if you’re killing a superhuman Nazi occultist vampire, but against a human, a bayonet is a more effective weapon. Edge: Yuuji Kazami

Explanations
Yuuji is by far the better trained, having been trained in combat for much of his life, first as a child soldier and then as a member of a US Marine Corps and the joint US-Japanese CIRS special forces unit. Shirou, on the other hand, clearly has practiced the use of his weapons, and knows how to use them, but in the end, he is very well-armed juvenile delinquent, not a trained soldier. In terms of combat experience, Yuuji has fought against multiple heavily armed soldiers and survived, eliminated a superhuman clone of himself, and proven himself a crack shot with a sniper rifle, however, Shirou fought on even terms with a superhuman, nigh-immortal Nazi occultist with over 50 years of combat experience who was almost invulnerable to conventional weapons, a man who inspired terror in even hardened special forces, multiple times, and finally actually killed him. In terms of marksmanship, Yuuji is definitely more precise with his aim, while Shirou seems to prefer pelting his enemies with a larger volume of large-caliber rounds from his Desert Eagles. In terms of close combat, Shirou is more than capable of handling himself in a fistfight, but is not a trained melee combatant like Yuuji. In terms of agility, Shirou takes the edge as, while Yuuji has evade at least the aim of multiple assualt rifle-wielding enemies, Shirou has been able to literally predict the path of and evade supersonic magic projectiles invisible to normal humans such as himself. In terms of physical strength, both Shirou and Yuuji display strength could be considered superhuman, however Shirou takes a slight edge for his ability to fire a Desert Eagle, a weapon renowned for it’s outrageous recoil with one hand. In terms of endurance, both Shirou and Yuuji can take some serious punishment. In the case of Yuuji, he has, in various routes of the visual novel and episodes of the anime, survived and even kept fighting after taking bullets, stab wounds, shotgun blasts, and explosions, and even managed to escape the blast radius of a tactical nuclear weapon AFTER being impaled through the chest with a katana. As impressive as this is, Shirou has survived strikes from a superhuman, kept fighting after losing an arm, and even survived being impaled on magical stakes that damage both the body and soul, and even drain the victim’s life force of a short period of time. For this reason, Shirou takes a slight edge in terms of endurance. However, it should be noted that, if they sustain enough damage, both Yuuji and Shirou will still die… if they are killed… No… wrong Shirou!… In terms of stealth, Yuuji has a definite advantage, being trained as an assassin and a sniper. Shirou, on other hand, prefers to literally go in all guns blazing. =Notes= The battle will be a one-on-one fight taking place in Suwahara City. The Japanese military will have discovered that a group of ex-Nazis wanted by the UN (as they LDO are on in the Dies Irae universe) are assembling in Suwahara and (not realizing the true power of the LDO), deploy Yuuji to the city on a mission to eliminate them. Yuuji runs into a Shirou at the Suwahara Tower, a location where intel suggests one of the targets would be, and mistakes him for his target.
