User blog:Deathblade 100/Tokyo Ghoul vs Elfen Lied: Lucy (Elfen Lied) vs Kaneki Ken (Tokyo Ghoul)

Elfen Lied and Tokyo Ghoul are possibly two of my favourite anime series. So today, we'll pit their two most famous characters against each other.

Lucy- The Diclonius Queen; who spent her entire life being hounded and abused.

VS.

Kaneki Ken- The former schoolboy turned artificial One-Eyed Ghoul; following a date gone wrong.

WHO...IS...DEADLIEST?

To find out the history of war and modern science collide, as we test the weapons and tactics used by these instruments of war. We dissect their strengths and weaknesses and file them in for an all new battle to the death. It's no rules, no safety, no mercy. It's a duel to the death, to find out who is the Deadliest Warrior.

Warriors
Lucy= Biography "When you are miserable, you need something that is even more miserable than you to feel good about yourself."

- Lucy

Originally known as Kaede, Lucy is a diclonius, a subspecies of the human race distinguished by two conical "horn-like" projection from their head, and possessing invisible limbs called vectors, capable of vibrating fast enough to cut through flesh, and strong enough to crush objects or throw them with extreme force, and even block small caliber bullets (though not large caliber rounds). Diclonius are known to be extremely violent towards humans, however, it is never truly determined if this is nature or nurture, as Lucy spent much or her life held captive in a laboratory and subjected to various experiments, and during her time on the run as a child, lived in an orphanage, where she was repeatedly bullied.

In spite of her nature, Lucy does make a few human friends, both in her time as a child, and when she escapes the laboratory later in life. Lucy was considered a "next step in evolution" by the scientist who held her captive, and was thus named after the most complete skeleton of the Australapithicus Afarensis, the early human ancestor. Primary= Vectors Secondary= Heckler & Koch MP5A4 Weaknesses= Horns Diclonii have two conical horns on either side of their heads. If these are damaged, a Diclonius cannot use their Vectors. Kaneki Ken= "I'm not the protagonist of a novel or anything. I'm just a college student who likes to read, like you could find anywhere. But... if, for argument's sake, you were to write a story with me in the lead role, it would certainly be... a tragedy."

- Kaneki

A rather bookish schoolboy, Kaneki Ken was a mostly shy and reserved person, with Hide being his only close friend. He usually spent most of his time reading books, mostly novels. He was extremely gentle and appeared to be optimistic most of the time. Influenced by his mother and a true testament of modesty, he willingly took blame and punishment from others so that he can be someone who does not hurt people, but rather absorb the torment. However, this lack of assertiveness normally got him bullied and taken advantage of. After accepting a date with Rize Kamishiro, a Ghoul nicknamed the "Binge Eater" by the Commission for Counter Ghoul, Kaneki was almost killed twice; once by his "date" and the other by a collapsing construction site. Unbeknownst to him, Rize's kakuhou was transplanted into Kaneki while at hospital; turning him into an artificial One-Eyed Ghoul.

Struggling to come to terms with his new Ghoul physiology, Kaneki joined the cafe/refuge 'Anteiku'; run by the kindly Ghoul, Yoshimura. Here, Kaneki would receive a mask which would promptly gain him the nickname "Eyepatch" from the CCG, due to its design. After Anteiku was attacked by the Aogiri Tree (a Ghoul terror organisation), Kaneki was captured and subjected to brutal torture at the hands of Yakumo Oomori; a sadistic Ghoul also known as "Yamori" or "Jason". When the CCG attacked the Aogiri Tree's hideout, Kaneki defeated Yamori in a brutal duel, and promptly cannibalised the other Ghoul's Kagune; a predatory organ.

Following his experiences, Kaneki would later go by the name "Haise Sasaki" and adopt a darker personality (often adopting personality traits from both Rize and Yamori), before returning back to "Kaneki". Primary= Kagune Secondary= Kakuja Weaknesses= Starvation
