Appelmonkey's "The Karate Warcriminal" Edges

SS Dagger vs. Karate: A dagger is always more likely to kill than bare hands and having a weapon gives you a longer reach, however both these edges have been negated by Minura's expertize and physicality. Perhaps if Landa and his men were proficient knife fighters this wouldn't be an issue, but they aren't so they lose the edge. Edge: Minura

Walther P38 vs. Nambu Type 14: The Walther fires a larger caliber and has a faster muzzle velocity. Other than that the stats of both guns are basically the same. And with two points over the Nambu, the Walther gets the edge. Edge: Hans Landa

Karabiner 98k vs. Type 38 Rifle: The Karabiner fires a more powerful caliber and a longer range. And both got a 5-round magazine. The only thing that Type 38 has is muzzle velocity and that just by 2 m/s. Pretty obvious who gets this one. Edge: Hans Landa

X-Factors:

Training: Both got pretty basic training from their respective armies, but Minura gets the edge for haven gotten a little bit of karate training in there as well. Edge: Minura

Experience: Another easy edge for Minura for having fought in the Second Sino-Japanese War. While Landa might have fought in some battles during the war this isn't confirmed and has mostly spent his time hunting jews and spies rather than leading men into battle. Edge: Minura

Intellect: Minura isn't dumb but Landa certainly is smarter. Though it isn't clear if his skills of deduction and tendency to make accurate predictions will translate well into combat tactics aren't clear. Edge: Hans Landa

Troops: Both have the cream of the crop of their respective nations backing them up in this fight, though Minura gets the edge for not only having soldiers who are very proficient in hand-to-hand combat ontop of the more mundane skills you would expect from a soldier but also an expert marksman. Edge: Minura

Deadliest Axis Officer: Minura! Minura has more combat experience and simply better troops, and should this fight break down into a melee then Landa has no chance beating an expert martial artist using only a knife. While Landa does have the most edges when it comes to the X-Factors they aren't won by a landslide wins. Even if Landa entered this fight with a much better arsenal the skills and experience of Minura would likely still beat him.
