VS

Ikko-ikki Rebels:The deadly Japanese rebels  of Jodo Shinshu.

Who..is..Deadliest?!?To find out,our world class fighters are testing histories most lethal weapons.Using 21st century science we see what happens when two warriors go toe to toe.No rules,no safety,no mercy.It's a duel to the death,history will be rewritten,but only one will be crowned the Deadliest Warrior.

First, Bulgarian Rebels are rebels from Balkans.When Bulgaria fell in Ottoman Rule in 1396,a century later they began their rebellions against the empire.After centuries of fighting,the Bulgarians won some battles against the Ottomans,but one legendary battle the April Uprising in 1876,which was a big curbstomp both for the Bulgarians and the Ottomans.But in 1878 with help of Russia,they crush the Turks and Bulgaria became independent country.They are also really famous Bulgarian rebels like Vasil Levski,Hristo Botev,Georgi Rakovski,Stefan Karadzha and many more,they're second name is The Hayduts.

The Bulgarians slew the Ottomans and their allies with:

Now, The Ikko-ikki were a rebel faction in feudal-era Japan, consisting of peasant rebels, Buddhist warrior monks ( Sōhei ), Shinto priests, and local nobles, all united under the teachings of a Jodo Shinshu or "Pure Land" Buddhism, which stated that all believers are equally blessed by the grace of Amida Buddha. Specifically, the teachings of charismatic Buddhist priest named Rennyo, who preached the antinomian message of the Jodo Shinshu, as well as a message of opposition to the samurai nobility. Rennyo also preached policy of pacifism, though he view defensive warfare as justified and thus fortified his temples, should they come under attack by one of the many warring factions at the time. In 1488, however, in spite of Rennyo's pacifist views, a group of peasant rebels inspired by Rennyo's teachings violently seized of the Kaga province, marking the first time a Japanese province was ruled by commoners.

The rebellion continued past the death of Rennyo in 1499. In the 1500s, the Ikko-ikki took control of a number of fortresses and Buddhist temples, eventually controlling major trade routes through Japan, putting them at odds with Oda Nobunaga, who was intent on controlling these trade routes as part of his campaign to unify Japan. In 1564, forces under Tokugawa Ieyasu, future founder of the Tokugawa shogunate, who had recently allied himself with Oda Nobunaga, dealt a severe blow to the Ikko-ikki when he defeated them at the Battle of Azukizaka. The Ikko-ikki, however, remained in existence until the 1580s, and even managed to put up a strong resistance at the Siege of Ishiyama Hongan-ji under Kennyo Kosa, holding of an army of Oda samurai for ten years. The rebellion finally ended when the the Ikki allied themselves with Toyotomi Hideyoshi in his war against other groups of Buddhist warrior monks.

Short:Edge Ikko-ikki:While the Bulgarian saber is longer,the katana has superior sharpness.Yeah the Bulgarian saber is sharper than most sabers,but not sharper than the katana or kilij.

Mid 1:Edge Bulgarian Rebels:The war scythe is lighter and his blade is more intimitading,and is capable of dealing more damage.

Mid 2:Edge Bulgarian Rebels:Both are similar,but flintlock beats matchlock.

Long:Edge Bulgarian Rebels:The tanegashima is more powerful but both have no armor,and since flintlock beats matchlock doesn;t matters.

Special:Edge Bulgarian Rebels:Kitchen Tool vs Sword,no contest.

Brutality:Bulgarians 90,Ikko-ikki 95:While the Bulgarians were ready to liberate their country at any cost,the Ikko-ikki were just more fanatical I can't explain more,some even tortured people from what i've read.

Audacity:Bulgarians 98,Ikko-ikki 89:While the Ikko-ikki were fanatical and brave,the symbol of all Bulgarian things including the Bulgarian rebels is their bravery.

Tactics:Bulgarians 97,Ikko-ikki 87:While the Ikko-ikki guerilla and intimitadion tactics were good,the Bulgarian rebels combined stealth with ambush,trapping the enemy in circles and use the forest and the mountain ranges as their advantage.
