BCC 2 Match #14 - Sniper Wolf vs. Mine (Metal Gear vs. Akame Ga Kill) ~ MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!

Vs.

Welcome back to another installment of BCC 2 with featured collaboration from my best friend & author of the Trueraiderlaker blog,  MechG. BCC 2 is pitting the best of the best when it comes to Videogames & Anime. The emphasis on BCC (Big-BEEWBED Catfight) is on the lovely ladies from each franchise, judging their story, personality, and appeal as the basis of the subject matter as well deciding on the consensus on whose the better woman in our personal opinion. The Videogame Babes are leading 7-6 against the Anime Cuties. MechG will be deciding the consensus for this Christmas week. Today's Matchup is Metal Gear's Sniper Wolf & Akame Ga Kill'a Mine. Let's jam! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE! 

Story (Sniper Wolf)

Throughout her early life and childhood, born and raised in the Middle East, Wolf was accustomed to violence and conflict constantly hearing gunfire, sirens, and screams. She was lucky to be alive countless times, but her loved ones and friends would not make it with her. During the real-life event of the Iran-Iraq War, Wolf witnessed countless deaths of her family and friends at the hands of Iraqi soldiers. Growing up, Wolf would be trained by the group, Gurkhas and they taught her everything about the art of sniping. Wolf’s sharp expertise as a markswoman caught the eye of the legendary mercenary, Big Boss, who took her back to the U.S. She constantly looked up to him. She would eventually become a lone sniper to witness war from far away. After Big Boss’s “death,” Wolf was taken in by FOXHOUND lead by Liquid and partook in the Shadow Moses Incident. She was tasked to watch Dr. Hal Emmerich (Otacon), the one responsible for designing Metal Gear REX. He would develop an affinity with her after she convinced Liquid to not kill off the wolfdogs residing in Shadow Moses and allowed him to feed the dogs. Wolf would get Snake’s attention after she shot Meryl point blank, critically wounding her. She developed an obsession with Snake and desired killing him in the battlefield. In the open field to REX’s Lair, Wolf would do battle with Snake again only to be shot in the lung. Dying in the snow field, Wolf told Snake about her life and how she reminded him of Big Boss. At her request, she asked Otacon to hand her PSG1 and Snake proceeded to “put her out of her misery,” covering her face with her personal handkerchief after.

Story (Mine)

I'm not that familiar with AKG because I only watched the first episode, but I'll do my best to outline Mine's character (Please don't be mad MechG). Mine was born in the western borders of the Empire. Unfortunately a lot of her childhood was filled with ridicule and misery from people because she was foreign. Mine joined the Revolutionary Army after having discovered it was forming allegiances with countries from the West. She fought for the sake that no one faces the childhood she met. To be honest, that covers Mine's backstory only and what I know about her is that she's part of the Night Raid and develops feelings for the main character of AKG. Her weapon of choice (Teigu) is a sniper rifle that is capable of shooting in 3 modes: Sniper, Machine Gun, & Long Barrel. Her rifle fires highly concentrated piercing shots of spirit energy. As a sniper, Mine is pretty proficient with her weapon and, of course, is masterful in precision. However, a weakness of hers is that she leaves her back exposed. Like I said, I need to invest my time in AKG so I can better know the characters. I didn't cover much of Mine's role in the story (other than her backstory), but maybe one day I'll finally understand MechG's love for Mine's character.

Personality (Sniper Wolf)

As a skillful and deadly sharpshooter, Sniper Wolf has an obsession with her targets. She was capable of waiting for them for days, weeks, heck let’s throw in there, even months without having to eat or sleep. She eats, sleeps, and breathes killing her target from long range in cold blood that she develops an emotional attachment to them before killing them. Although she was born to kill, she didn’t kill for sport as she dislikes harming innocent women and children. She has unwavering loyalty to people who have earned her respect, such as her respect and loyalty to Big Boss. Aside from her obsession to kill her targets and her loyalty, she has a deep affection for dogs and had strong beliefs that women make better soldiers than men as evident in her conversation with Solid Snake during the Shadow Moses incident.

Personality (Mine)

Mine is prone to outbursts and is easily irritated. She has a fondness to tease the main character of AKG, but over time develops feelings for him. Despite her cold exterior, she can be a warm and kind individual. She's compassionate sometimes towards the main character such as when she tried teasing him to get his mind off someone's death. Ever since she started dating the main character, Mine is shown to be jealous whenever Leone gets too attached to her man and has shown great worriment over his safety.

Appeal (Sniper Wolf)

I see nothing wrong about a blonde-haired, bad@$$ chick with a sexy foreign accent that’s out there to kill you from a distant. Even though she only appeared in the first MGS game as one of the bosses playing second fiddle to Liquid, Wolf has always headlined along the overlooked list of hot girls in the Metal Gear series. She was the one who made it cool to show cleavage on those nice @$$ TEETS before EVA did it in MGS3, especially displaying it in the cold snow of Shadow Moses. Mind if I be the one to warm those up? *Headshot, X_X.*

Appeal (Mine)

Judging from the picture I found of Mine, she's not bad. Sure she doesn't have big BEEWBZ, but her cuteness is so appealing that you can't help but root for her whenever she wields her bad@SS sniper rifle. Not many characters can rock the pink look, but Mine does and girl....she looking FABO. Tatsumi (the main character of AKG) is lucky to have Mine as both an ally & a girlfriend because she surely isn't someone you'd want as an enemy. Mine is a pretty well-drawn character much like all the females in AKG.

Verdict (By MechG)
And the winner is....

Difficult verdicts part II. Let’s just clear the air here, Mine is my favorite character from Akame ga Kill, alongside Leone. She is “Mai Waifu.” She’s everywhere from my login background picture in my windows 7 laptop to my main background on my Galaxy Note with Akame, she’s everywhere. But am I seriously going to let my feelings for her get in the way of my competitive nature to win this BCC for the videogame babes? Let’s be perfectly honest here, Metal Gear Solid’s storyline, Hideo Kojima’s storytelling, kills the f*cking sh*t out of AGK any day of the week, just flat out embarrasses it. There was one thing that MGS has that AGK doesn’t have…DEPTH. Even with the minor characters like Wolf, she played second fiddle to Liquid, but she has a thorough, crisp backstory and the way she died and how Snake gave her a proper burial was one of the most emotional moments in the MGS games. Don’t get me wrong though, I cried manly tears when Mine died in Tatsumi’s arms after her showdown with Budou in the Anime. Maybe reading the Manga will wipe that away, but everybody in AGK dies at some point. With the exceptions of Akame and somewhat Esdeath and Najenda, most of the other characters’ backstories in AGK were just too generalized while literally every character in the Metal Gear series, even the minor ones, Hideo Kojima does a great job of elaborating on them to relevancy instead of being forgettable. And that’s where I feel Wolf trumps Mine in this matchup. Kojima’s storytelling made Wolf look like a million bucks even though she just made her lone physical appearance in the first MGS as second fiddle to Liquid. I said it before and I’ll say it again, I love Mine, but that’s not going to blind me to see from a broader perspective, unlike some Red and Gold hack who wants to threaten people if any of his “Baes” lose against any female he’s not familiar with. And if that happens, he gets all butt hurt like a typical 40 whiner bandwagoner would. Consider your “Bae” lucky that she didn’t have to go up against another female character that made quite an impact in a franchise’s story arc. I chose against “Mai Waifu” and that was the hardest thing to do, it pained me inside, but you don’t hear me whine about it or kicking myself or sending death threats. YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME! Nonetheless, Wolf wins here. Sorry AGK fans and above all, sorry Mine, my lovely Waifu. We’ll make it up once this whole twisted $#!t is all said and done.

So who do you think won? Sniper Wolf from Metal Gear or Mine from Akame Ga Kill? Comment below and let me know. 2 more BCC 2 Matchups to go ~ One on Friday & the last on Monday.
