VS.
I'd like to call this BH Post a battle between the transforming beasts. You think they look quite a handful, but become even more of a threat when they transform into their beast-like appearance. Not only does their appearance change, but their strength and durability are amplified greatly. For Sui-Feng of Bleach & Yusuke of YYH, these two inflicted some damage on the two before they eventually managed to defeat the beasts. Today will be a battle of the beasts - Goki from YYH and Ggio Vega from Bleach. I will be comparing the following: Role in Story, Powers/Abilities, & Fight Record.
Role in Story ~ Goki
Goki met Hiei and Kurama earlier in the series to infiltrate the Spirit World for 3 valuable artifacts - the Forlorn Hope, the Shadow Sword, & The Orb of Baast. Goki is the holder of the Orb of Baast, where he is able to extract and imprison souls. Goki, a ruthless criminal, is the physically weaker than Hiei & Kurama, but stands tall at 9 ft. He underestimated Kurama at first, but soon displayed fear when Kurama used his rose whip to cut down a forest of trees. Goki is one of the first antagonist Yusuke fights in YYH. Yusuke demands Goki to return the Orb and release the imprisoned souls, but Goki didn't take kindly to this and fought the Spirit Detective. He transformed into his beast form (called Kyuhonki Transformation), which amplifies his muscles. Yusuke, still learning the ways of the Spirit Detective, was caught by Goki and was just about to devoured. However, just before being swallowed by Goki, Yusuke sticks a thick branch inside the demon's mouth and fires his trademark Spirit Gun directly into it. The Orb now was in Yusuke's hands and the souls returned to the respected children. He is never mentioned again in the series, but it's safe to assume the blast killed him.
Role in Story ~ Ggio
Ggio is introduced alongside Nirrge when 4 of Baraggan's Fraccion fell. Angered by this upsetting loss, Baraggan attempts to rise from his throne, but Ggio & Nirgge insist that he sits back down and they handle the enemy. Ggio faces off against Sui-Feng while Nirgge fights Omaeda. Ggio is a skilled hand-to-hand fighter, managing to stand on par with the Captain of the Onmitsukido (Secret Tactics). Ggio, as he was fighting Sui-Feng, is bound to a building, but he uses his Cero to free himself. Just as he was about to attack Sui-Feng, Omaeda intervenes in hopes to assist her Captain, but Ggio manages to beat Omaeda aside and continue on with her fight against Sui-Feng. Ggio, wanting to defeat Sui-Feng & Omaeda, releases his Zanpaktou - Tigre Estoque (Tiger Fang Swift Wind in Japanese) where he grows a tiger-like appearance. In this form, he fires projectiles at Sui-Feng to no avail, but the biggest innovation to his Ressurrecion is his amplifier power and speed. In order to become stronger, Ggio releases another form of Tigre Estooque called Tigre Estoque El Sable (Tiger Fang Swift Wind Great Swords) where he becomes incredibly large in size w/his forearms being replaced with huge blades. However, he fell victim to Sui-Feng's Suzemebachi as he is pierced twice and dies.
Powers/Abilities ~ Goki
Goki, being a criminal, has no distinct style of fighting. He uses his raw strength to try and beat Yusuke to submission. A unique ability of his is using the Orb of Baast to amplify his strength when devouring a soul. In his Kyukonki form, he becomes incredibly large, amplifying his strength - being able to life a tree from its roots. However, the greatest downfall of Goki is his lack of intelligence as he fell victim to Yusuke's Spirit Gun and became the 1st demon Yusuke takes out.
Powers/Abilities ~ Ggio
Ggio, as said above, is skilled at hand-to-hand combat as he was able to match Sui-Feng's attacks and speed (using Sonido). He is also a skilled swordsman, being able to combat Sui-Feng without having to release his Ressurrecion. As an Arrancar, he has high spiritual pressure and enhanced strength as shown when he kicked Sui-Feng into a building. However, his true power lies in his Ressurrecion, which gives him a tiger-like appearance w/blades replacing his forearms. He is able to fire projectiles and even amplify his muscles (Tigre Estoque El Sable). However, this form wasn't much utilized as he fell victim to Sui-Feng's Suzemebachi.
Fight Record ~ Goki
Goki has only 1 fight at the very beginning of YYH. His record is as follows:
Goki vs. Yusuke - Loss
Fight Record ~ Ggio
Ggio has only 1 fight against during the Fake Karakura Town Arc. His record is as follows:
Ggio vs. Sui-Feng - Loss
Verdict
And the winner is...
I think at the end of the day, Ggio was going to win over Goki for one reason and 1 reason alone - Goki isn't smart and Ggio is. Goki is a brute that relies on raw strength with zero strategy to win against his foes. He offered very little for being the very 1st opponent Yusuke fought. He underestimated Kurama and judged him based on his human appearance along - not really a smart thing to do Goki. Goki also went down way too easily, just sticking a thick branch to give a clear shot for Yusuke, Goki clearly underestimate the Spirit Detective. Ggio died easily too, but he put up more of a fight than Goki did. Ggio is agile, strong, and that's just his regular form. In his Tigre Estoque appearance, his power, agility, and durability are amplified and he can even grow larger (Tigre Estoque El Sable). I think Ggio offers more in variety - he is agile, skilled hand-to-hand combat, is a experienced swordsman, fire projectiles, and can amplify all that together. Ggio clearly is the victor.
