Guts (Beserk) VS Tanjirou Kamadou (KNY)

I almost said this matchup was concluded but given this is Breath of Sun Tanjiro and not Demon Tanjiro... It's hard to imagine how these two will fight. Tanjiro can likely weave past Guts' guard, but Guts is tanky enough to take shots and deal worse ones to Tanjiro if Tanjiro makes the mistake of leaving himself open trying to land a hit. Worse yet, Guts' attacks affect the soul and leaves wounds that don't truly heal.

It's a matter of who can take hits better I guess. Tanjiro can only weave for so long and the Berserker Armor's almost suicidal rage will surpass him in endurance, the crux here lies in Guts' ability to face much more agile and mobile opponents. Guts has the AP advantage with Berserker Armor and at base + Lifting Strength Advantage, but imo Tanjiro has skill, speed, and precog. I'll need to fully research Guts' past opponents to see how well he fares here
 
Hm...

Naito's analysis pretty much is what I think as well. Tanjiro definitely has the skill advantage as well as the precog, but putting Guts down is going to be hard. Any damage Tanjiro does unless it's an immediate kill shot is going to be fixed by the Berserk Armor, so guts will continue fighting until his last drop of blood and until all his bones have been broken, so Guts has the advantage here in stamina, assuming the Berserk Armor activates.

Dragon Slayer seems to be able to block Tanjiro's attacks due to sheer size, and Tanjiro isn't breaking the sword anytime soon, but Tanjiro also has the ability to get behind guts with techniques like Parhelion Rainbow or just being able to maneuver around him with skill. Guts could probably react to that, but it'd be a close clash, as again, Tanjiro doesn't seem to be putting Guts down if he goes Berserk Armor, and maybe even if he doesn't, as he has plenty of ways to play the ranged game with bombs and arrows. These won't do much damage on their own but will serve as a definite in-character distraction for Guts to use... And if Tanjiro gets distracted, a hit from Dragon Slayer will severely mess Tanjiro up, both with soul hax and with the sheer size of that hunk of steel.

My two cents? Guts takes this with some high difficulty.
