Ryuko Matoi vs. Rukia Kuchiki (Kamui Senketsu vs. Sode no Shirayuki)

VS.

Now I know what you're thinking, why compare these two at all? Bleach Anime is over, but Kill La Kill just started not too long ago. For me, I chose these two women for one reason - I love em. They're strong, brave, and take no sh*t from no one. Since Kill La Kill just started, it's kinda unfair to judge her thoroughly yet, but I'm not going to go in-depth like most of the Fight Night posts. For these two, I'll go over their powers + a brief history about em. I mean both wield swords, have (I think) same colored eyes, and have short hair. So, shall we begin...

History: Before joining the Gotei 13, Rukia lived in the worst district in the Soul Society. It wasn't long before Byakuya Kuchiki, the current head of the Kuchiki family, adopted Rukia into the family, but in actuality- Rukia is related to Byakuya's wife, Hisana. Hisana was Rukia's sister and looked exactly like her, but Rukia didn't become aware of the truth until Byakuya met Ichigo. Rukia was abandoned by her sister and thus, Rukia saw Renji and his friends as her only family. Rukia now is the lieutenant of the 13th division and remains one of Ichigo's friends. 

Ryuko wants revenge for the one who killed her father. She was unaware of her father's works & didn't get to know him as much. She was prone to violence since she didn't have a normal childhood. She became a delinquent and kicked everyone's ass. It wasn't until she saw her father die that she swore to find the other half of the scissor blade to extract vengeance. Ryuko now lives with her friend, Mako, and it feels as if she has a family of her own now

Power: Rukia wields Sode no Shirayuki, an ice-based Zanpaktou. Her Zanpaktou allows her to encase her opponents in ice and, as expected, all her powers are all Ice-based. Being promoted to lieutenant became a big step in her division since she's always been a seated officer. She's grown strong and is potentially capable of handling herself now that she's a lieutenant. 

Ryuko wields Kamui Senkentsu, a uniform that pretty much enhances her stamina, endurance, and agility. Though she's partially naked, she's at her best when she accepts that her uniform is a part of her. Alongside her scissor blade, Ryuko is now besting what the Academy as to offer, but she's had her fair of wins & losses. 

Verdict: This was brief because I didn't want to go in-depth with one character and the other now. I think both are strong in their own right, are capable of handling themselves, and have gotten back up when beaten. I think Ryuko has more to prove since she's new to this and her intentions are vengeance. Rukia has no motivations other than following Ichigo's intentions as well as abide by the wishes of the Gotei 13 during the Vandenreich crisis. So even though this was brief and I didn't elaborate much, Imma give this victory to...RYUKO MATOI, KAMUI SENKENTSU! She has more to prove and her own personal agenda aside from Rukia. 

I hope you enjoyed this brief Fight Night post and until then, you all stay classy now!
