This battle reminds me of the MUTOs vs Godzilla from the latter's first MonsterVerse movie, and hell, I didn't expect to find its real life counterpart. The Maneaters are a formidable duo with their awesome mobility and the potential to tag-team the crap out of the Kesagake... if they coud damage it the first place. Don't get me wrong, two is better than one in this context, but one of 'em is noticeably handicapped (missing teeth, huh?) and not as strong as its significant pair who takes nine shots to kill compared to the Kesagake's own five shot durability. None of these beats are going up against gunfire, though, so the Kesagake's bigger size and thicker hide gives it an edge in durability. The Maneaters hunted bigger game than Kesagake, but the bear is an entirely different thing. Compared to it, the Maneaters are less effective in their killing method since crushing skulls (which could be achieved quite easily here thanks to the Kesagake's huge power) is far more lethal than trying to suffocate the target, even when it goes deep into one's throat. Then we have the bear's greater reach thanks to its size and length of claws which mean that the Maneaters are gonna have a hard time closing the gap to attack Big 'gake. Even if they do get close, they will find themselves overwhelmed by its sheer muscles and paw power. Quite certainly, even both of them teaming up won't suffice to defeat the big bear. I'll give this one to the Kesagake.
