Let’s see shall we

Investigation Phase

Kira will have little problem discovering the origin of the curse as it’s not exactly subtle, you watch a video and after seven days you die. The teenagers who are circulating the tapes will already have heard about the rumour and more than likely one of them is currently suffering from the curse. Kira is a skilled enough manipulator to be able to get the information out of them and at any rate any teenager being stalked by Sadako will be desperate for a way to get out so will be receptive to his questions. Sakako meanwhile won’t be able to do anything to stop Kira, I’m not even sure she’d know he knows about the curse unless he watches the tape (more on that in the final analysis though).

Edge: Yoshikage Kira

Fight

Sadako has a wide variety of powers availible to her but the majority of them are not all that relevent a battle and mostly relate to helping her spread the curse. Furthermore some of her abilities are unsuited to fighting Kira specifically; Her death stare won’t work on him because he’s already dead, paralysing probably also doesn’t effect spirts and her mind invasion won’t do jack because Kira doesn’t have any memories for her to manipulate. This leads her mostly with her physical abilities, mainly her superhuman strength and hair manipulation. However she is painfully slow, barely able to move faster than a walk and while her ability to teleport through screens makes up for this somewhat it is still a limited for of teleportation.

Kira meanwhile lacks the physical strength of Sadako but more than makes for this by being considerably more mobile, both in general movement speed and the ability to move through walls via his intangebility. He’s also coming equipped with actual weapons, with his gun being the only ranged option in the battle and his dagger and knife allowed him to damage Sadako up close should be need to. Plus his lack of fatigue and the fact losing limbs can easily be fixed by simply slapping them back in place means he has the edge in durability as well.

Edge: Yoshikage Kira

Final Verdict

Unsurprisngly it’s Yoshikage Kira who will finally end Sadako’s curse. The investigation phase should be a doddle for someone as smart as him and when it comes to the actual battle Kira has the better options availble to him for doing harm. Another important thing to remember is that Kira doesn’t need to actually watch the tapes to fight Sadako, merely finding a teenager who has watched the tape and keeping tabs on them will be enough for him to encounter her. He could even make a deal with a cursed teenager to help him set a trap for Sadako and when she comes to kill them he could kill her sneakily before she realises he’s even there. If he does go down the route of actually watching the tape then it gives him a whole week to set up traps or stockpile some more weapons, again he could get the teenagers to help him in this regard.

Sadako lacks experience in dealing with other spirts, with only one brief fight against Kayako under he belt whereas Kira has experience in dealing with cleansers and other supernatural beings so he’ll be better prepared for a confrontation even without any prep time. Sadako is simply too bound to her gimmick and once Kira figures out that gimmick he’ll have little trouble outwitting her.

Yoshikage Kira: 4,000

Sadako Yammamura: 1,000
