VS.
This is quite an interesting Matchup, don't you think? The leader of Honnoji Academy vs. the Captain of the 2nd Division/Stealth Force. One is primarily the antagonist for the first half of Kill La Kill & the other is a supporting protagonist. In both their own rights, they're both authoritative, intimidating, and fearless women. Diving into the heat of battle, both Sui-Feng & Satsuki know no bounds as they look down upon weaklings, do what is necessary to display justice, and over the course of their series ~ have displayed change in their character. Let's dive right into it, today's 13th BCC Round is Bleach's Sui-Feng & Kill La Kill's Satsuki Kiryuin. Take into account that Personality, HCA levels, & BEEWBZ play a pivotal role in the final decision. Without further do, let's jam on some BEEWBZ!
Personality (Sui-Feng)
Strong-willed, determined, intimidating, fast, agile, & robust ~ these are the words that best describe Sui-Feng. Since Yoruichi, her former Captain, abandoned her long ago, Sui-Feng has developed an ego against her former Captain; insisting that she's surpassed her mentor in terms of strength & leadership. However, at the end of the day Sui-feng genuinely was hurt when Yoruichi left without saying a word and, like a little girl, cried over her return. Sui-Feng makes up for it by obliging to the duties as the 2nd Division Captain ~ acting swiftly, without hesitation, & mercilessly.
Personality (Satsuki Kiryuin)
Strong-willed, determined, intimidating, fast, agile, & robust ~ these are the words that best describe Satsuki Kiryuin. As supreme ruler of Honnoji Academy, she ruled w/an iron fist and looked down on weaklings. However, everything changed upon meeting her rival/sister ~ Ryuko Matoi & the one person she despises most in the world ~ Ragyo Kiryuin. Satsuki & Ryuko were at each other's throats, but as soon as Ragyo entered the fray ~ Satsuki had a change of heart on Ryuko since finding out that she's in fact her sister. Satsuki mercilessly strikes down anyone she opposes is a threat and upholds the peace & stability of Honnoji Academy.
HCA Levels (Sui-Feng)
When I first saw Sui-feng, I didn't think much of her. I thought she was just an ok character & nothing less. However, over time she did grow on me surprisingly because despite her tough exterior, she was just as normal as everyone else. Sui-Feng loves and admires her former Captain and that's what stun me about her ~ a Captain eliciting emotions other than ego & arrogance. To me, Sui-Feng got cuter after the Time-skip and, like most Bleach women, are well-drawn.
HCA Levels (Satsuki Kiryuin)
Satsuki, much like Sui-feng, went through change the moment Ryuko & Ragyo came into her life. Aside from her tough exterior, she was a little child that bears a grudge against Mommy because she was evil. Satsuki, like Ryuko, has enormous knockers and, to be honest, Ryuko caught my eye before Satsuki did. Satsuki became more appealing and cute the moment she stopped being the antagonist and that's what I loved seeing ~ sisters fighting side by side against an even greater evil.
BEEWBZ (Sui-Feng)
She just doesn't have the assets.
BEEWBZ (Satsuki Kiryuin)
Now Satsuki.....DAYUM! (over 9000!)
Final Decision
And the winner is...
Now from the get-go, I knew Satsuki was going to win for one reason ~ role. Sui-feng may be a supporting character, but rarely does she steal the spotlight. To me, Satsuki is just an important as Ryuko in Kill La Kill and both equally share the position as protagonists. Satsuki's change overall also went through a lot considering she went from ruling w/an iron fist & oppressing the weak to accepting that acknowledging others is what makes a leader a leader. Satsuki's character from episode 1 to end went through substantial change and she became my 2nd favorite character next to Ryuko. To me, Satsuki had more to offer since she was antagonist turned protagonist and her gradual change also help masked the fact that he had an even greater threat to deal with ~ her own mother. With Sui-feng, the change happened in a snap and from the on, she now became an ally under Team Ichigo. Satsuki became a reason why I began watching Kil La Kill whereas Sui-feng alone was just a supporting character that needs more screen-time. Though Sui-feng is leader of the stealth force and is agile as a result, her change was just abrupt. With Satsuki, it was built up and, like any storytelling, showcases the struggle of the character as well as the dilemma they have the fact. In this guy's opinion, Satsuki was bound to win.
So who do you think won? Sui-feng from Bleach or Satsuki Kiryuin from Kill La Kill? Comment below and let me know. Look forward to the last BCC Rounds this Wednesday, Friday, & next Monday. The first Rhetorical(s) post will be up this Thursday and WBCR will be up when chapter is available. Until then, you all stay classy now. I forgot to post last week's Throwback & so this Friday will be 2 Throwback posts & BCC Round 15.
