Kagura

Kagura
Kagura is a unique being who reincarnates repeatedly, solely to eradicate the Yoma. Records of her existence go back as far as 900 years. Past shinobi have treated her with fear and envy, since she disposes of Yoma so easily. In many peculiar ways, she is different from ordinary humans. For one thing, she has her own way of growing. Kagura is born as a small girl-- "hatched," as it were-- from a mystical device known as the Reincarnation Sphere. She then eats red orbs, which contain the life force of a Yoma. That force awakens her body and mind. When she destroys a specific number of Yoma in her awakened state, her body crumbles apart, after which she returns to the Reincarnation Sphere. Every 100 years, the cycle repeats. So it goes, and so it will, for as long as she has Yoma to destroy.

Kagura 3rd form
Summary
The students of Hanzo Academy and the members of the Crimson Squad-- while on a school trip and vacation, respectively-- encounter Kagura in her child form and her guardian Naraku in Kyoto. The two seem to be quite strange, and it isn't until Kiriya explains the legend of Kagura to them that they understand why. Seeing Kagura's supposedly imminent demise as an undesirable fate, the shinobi students are determined to stop Kagura from slaying Yoma before it is too late.

Intelligence: Very high in regards to combat and using her powers, however, she knows little about anything else due to her losing her memories of her previous lives every time she is reborn.

Weaknesses: Retains very few memories of her past lives, is a small child with virtually no powers | Is a teenage girl with virtually no powers | Her body will crumble should she consume enough Red Orbs. Only concerned about killing Yoma, though this is resolved by the end of the story.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • Izanami: In her true form, Kagura uses her teleportation to appear floating in the air. She then slices the air, opening a sword shaped void that unleashes a large red beam directly unto her foe. She does this a second time, ensuring the attack lands. Its range is incredible; reaching from the point where she stands to nearly across an entire battle area. This move is executed differently in Estival. Kagura flips backward before she reaches forward and claws at the air; tearing a sword-like rift that shoots out a large red beam straight towards her enemies. She holds this position until the attack subsides.
  • Izanagi: While it never appears in gameplay in the Burst Timeline, Kagura uses this move to eliminate Orochi's true form in a cutscene. Kagura raises both arms to her chest, before thrusting them outwards to her sides. Upon doing this, several rifts in space appear around Orochi and release red, sword-like objects into it, impaling it from multiple angles and killing it instantly. In the Versus Timeline, this move retains most of it uniform action. Like in Deep Crimso, Kagura summons a number of rifts surrounding the area in front of her. She extends her hands to her sides, and the rifts begin bombarding the area with red blasts. She then clenches her fists, summoning four large swords to impale anything remaining.
  • Susanō: Kagura flies to the center of the screen, and flips it upside-down. She then flies to the left of the screen and tears three rifts in space, summoning large swords from them, before flying to the right and doing the same thing. Afterwards, she flies back to the center and summons five more rifts, the outer four releasing swords before the center. The screen then returns to normal. This attack's execution changes dramatically in Estival Versus, though it retains some uniform elements from its previous game. Kagura summons a multitude of large, red swords in a circular formation, the center of which containing the same symbol present in her eyes. She then flies upside-down above it, before it releases a large burst of energy, causing the swords to disappear.
Note: Asuka and Homura's defeat of Kagura is considered an outlier, as it was revealed she was unintentionally holding back. Additionally, they went back to struggling to defeat characters far weaker than Kagura in games after the one in which she first appeared.

Esdeath
Divine Gate Esdeath
I don't understand the feelings of the weak. The law of the world is survival of its fittest. It's how the weak are weeded out. It just means those people that died were too weak. It's only natural for the weak to perish.
~ Esdeath​
Summary

Esdeath is the primary antagonist of Akame ga Kill!.

A high-ranking general of the Empire and leader of the Jaegers, she is the Empire's most powerful asset, even beyond Shikoutazer, not only because her powers are capable of attacking the very world, but also because of her blood-thirst and an absolute belief in "Survival of the Fittest", honed since her childhood. She is feared as "a born reaper" and "a natural disaster with a wicked consciousness", a claim backed up by her strength and combat skills that clearly give off the image of sadism and ruthlessness.

Powers and Stats
Tier: At least High 7-A, likely higher. 6-B Environmental Destruction with Ice Storm Commander-In-Chief

Name: Esdeath, "Empire's Strongest", "Ice Queen"

Origin: Akame ga Kill!

Gender: Female

Age: Early 20s

Classification: Human, Assassin, General, Teigu User, Leader of the Jaegers

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Proficient Assassin, Ice Manipulation, Time Stop, Weather Manipulation (Ice storm via Ice Storm Commander-in-Chief), Master Swordswoma, Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant, Extrasensory Perception (Can sense the presence of her adversaries if they carry a shred of murderous intent and has a strong 6th sense), Pseudo-Flight, Aura (Fear, bloodlust), Afterimage Creation, Resistance (to Empathic Manipulation and Willpower Manipulation [Unaffected by Scream], Mind Manipulation [Drank the entire chalice of Demon's Extract and resisted the Danger Beast's attempt to break her mind/ take control of her, while even of cup of the blood can destroy a human's psyche], heat [Her ice can resist being melted by Tatsumi's fire-breath, and completely unaffected by Die Leaguer's Fire Orb], and cold [Grew up in a snowy region, and could cover herself in her own ice without any sign of discomfort])

Attack Potency: At least Large Mountain level+, likely higher (Froze an entire river in a flashback shortly after obtaining her Teigu, when she was much weaker than her current state. Far stronger than Budo. She effortlessly one-shotted Tyrant and was able to destroy Murasame, and has been established as being stronger than virtually everyone in the series). Country level Enviromental Destruction with Ice Storm Commander-In-Chief

Speed: At least Massively Hypersonic (Mach 292) via power-scaling from Tatsumi

Lifting Strength: SuperHuman (Casually lifts men larger than her and Tatsumi cannot escape her hold without Incursio)

Striking Strength: At least Large Mountain Class+, likely higher (Effortlessly one-shotted Tyrant)

Durability: At least Large Mountain level+, likely higher (Able to take hits from Ennodzuno Akame)

Stamina: Extremely high, can fight against a whole army and continue to fight powerful Teigu like Susanoo even after using Mahapadma

Range: Extended melee range with her rapier, several kilometers with her Teigu.

Standard Equipment: Rapier, pet dragon.

Intelligence: Very high. Esdeath is an extremely skilled combatant renowned as the strongest soldier of the Empire, being a dangerously capable strategist and field commander who has led her forces to countless victories over the Revolutionary Army. Her skill is so great that Najenda believes only an army and ten Teigu users as skilled as Akame would stand a chance of defeating her if they all came at once. She prefers melee combat when not using her Teigu, easily taking on multiple foes in hand-to-hand combat at once and slicing through entire hordes of Danger Beasts with her rapier in a single movement. Her sadistic hobbies have given her a great understanding of human biology and is savvy enough to continually research and develop new abilities to use against her foes. However, for all her skill, Esdeath is still a bloodthirsty ****** who is more than willing to prolong a fight to savor it and her foe's suffering.

Weaknesses: Her trump card can be avoided by having a possible resistance to the cold (As Tatsumi's new Incursio showed in the manga, when his teigu evolved). Using Mahapadma drains Esdeath and she can only use it once a day, She requires a great deal of prep time to summon her Ice Cavalry in large numbers. Esdeath is a ****** to the core and will drag out a fight she's enjoying to savor it, which can distract her from her objective and keep her from finishing her foe off immediately.

Feats:

Physical Strength:


  • Kicked a man's face off
  • Kicked Wave across a room
Superhuman Speed and Agility:

Enhanced Durability:

  • Unaffected by the temperatures of her own ice
Enhanced Stamina:

  • Defeated nearly half of Night Raid without breaking a sweat
  • In a completely one sided battle, defeated Leone, Najenda, Susanoo and Tatsumi by herself
  • She has killed entire armies on her own
Enhanced Senses:

Immense Killing Aura:

Well Versed in Human Anatomy:

Skilled Hand-to-Hand Fighter:

  • Was capable of taking on both Base Incursio Tatsumi and Magatama Manifestation Susanoo at the same time with no trouble
Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • Esdeath is considered the strongest soldier in the Empire's army and one of the strongest in the series. She possesses a powerful Teigu called Demon God's Manifestation: Demon's Extract that allows her to manipulate ice and create ice from nothing. She uses it to create icicles, freeze people to death and more. She has been able to freeze an entire lake within moments with her ability.
  • Esdeath usually carries a long rapier that she wields with her into combat. She has shown herself to be quite adept with this weapon even without having to resort to her Teigu
  • She is shown to be a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant as well, possessing great physical strength, such as when she sent Tatsumi crashing to the ground in one kick, or when she slammed Seryu through the ground in their first meeting. She was also able to slam Suzuka into a wall with relatively little effort.
  • She also has a strong sixth sense, being able to sense killing intent even at long distances. She was perfectly able to sense that someone was spying on her. Also, her sense of smell is strong as she conformed that it was Tatsumi after checking his scent when she reunited with him on top of Mt. Fake from one sniff.
  • Esdeath freezes a river
  • Esdeath kills multiple Danger Beasts
Teigu
Demon God's Manifestation: Demon's Extract: Esdeath's Teigu, is integrated within her body as it was the blood of a Danger Beast with the ability to control ice. She is able to use it for a variety of purposes like flash freezing foes to destroy them at the cellular level, firing icicles and boulders made of ice as projectiles, and even freezing time itself.

  • Weissschnabel: The user creates several icicles from thin air and fires them at the user's target with a simple hand gesture.
  • Unnamed Technique: Esdeath creates several rows of icicles similar to Weissschnabel, but the resulting icicles are greater in size, sharpness, and quantity.
  • Grauhor: Esdeath creates a giant horn of ice from thin air to pierce her target.
  • Hagelsprung: Esdeath creates an enormous boulder out of ice and launches it at her opponent to crush them under its weight.
  • Aura: According to Leone Esdeath has a diabolical aura, which is due to the countless massacres carried out. It's pressure is so great that she shows no apparent openings. It is also capable of greatly intimidating opponents and sensing their intent to kill.
  • Ice Armor: Esdeath can create ice around her body to act as makeshift armor to stop sudden attacks. This armor is durable enough to stop Akame's Murasame in its tracks.
  • Ice Entrapment: Esdeath can imprison foes in large ice structures to contain them without killing them if she so desires.
  • Levitation/Flight: By wrapping ice around parts of her body and making those pieces float, Esdeath can levitate in the air. While she is able to maneuver somewhat, she herself admits that it's far from true flight like Mastema's.
  • Ice Tree: With her hand on the ground, Esdeath summons a tree made of ice that fires dozens of ice projectiles from its limbs.
  • Ice Blender: An elongated, pointed poll of ice with many ice thorns sticking out of it. She sends this spinning at her opponents, blending them into a bloody mess.
  • Ice Spire: Touching the ground, Esdeath calls forth a giant spire of ice to pierce her foes, like in her fight with Akame.
  • Larger Ice Projectiles: Virtually the same as her regular projectiles, just larger.
  • Ice Limbs: When she lost an arm and two fingers, she has been shown to replace them with fingers and an arm made of ice that, as she said, works just as well as the original and does not hamper her ability to fight.
  • Ice Wall: Once again by touching the ground, she summons up a circular wall of ice to prevent her prey from escaping.
  • Full Body Ice Armor: Using ice to cover her entire body, she creates a large body armor that completely cuts her off from the outside, though noticeably slowing her down.
  • Weiss Schnabel
  • Esdeath fires icicles
  • Grauhor
  • Hagelsprung
  • Esdeath's Aura
  • Ice Armor
  • Ice Entrapment
  • Levitation/Flight
  • Ice Tree

Trump Cards

  • Ice Cavalry: Esdeath is able to create an army of golems out of ice that respond to her commands. They're able to simulate foot soldiers, cavalry, and giant Danger Beasts, allowing her to challenge an entire army with them alone. However, she requires a great deal of time to accumulate the necessary energy to generate them in such large numbers. In addition, they require her orders to function at maximum efficiency. Should she be distracted or preoccupied (i.e. by entering battle herself), their reaction speed will slow dramatically, great lowering their combat effectiveness. They are also capable of regenerating themselves from being blown to pieces.
  • Ice Storm Commander-In-Chief: Esdeath is able to focus her mighty power to create a powerful ice storm capable of covering an entire country with ice and snow. Although, she did it relying on the power that she puts into her Ice Cavalry, that took her a few days to create them (Which means that she should be capable of doing it by her own). From what she has said, it replenishes her powers constantly while the storm is active.
  • Mahapadma: Esdeath's ultimate trump card in which she freezes time and space in her vicinity, stopping all motion except for her own. During this time, she is free to attack her foes as she pleases and is also useful for intercepting attacks that she or an ally/objective cannot dodge on their own. However, using this ability drains her stamina more than she would like, and she can only use it once a day.
  • <img data-src="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/vsbattles/ima
 
It would haveto be really extreme heat. Mahapama froze a plasma blast the first time it was used. You could also likely resist it with powerful Ice Resistance.
 
The fact that Kagura doesn't have much to counter time stop still means it's a factor. Sooner than later, she will time stop.
 
I gotta disagree, Kagura has quite a few one shot abilities in her belt for a Esdeath, just seems like an inconclusive
 
Nani!!? This already created!!?

Welp,gotta agree with Gar here,either it's inconclusive or Esdeath win in very high difficulty.
