By "Kirei is obviously able to increase his strength" I suppose you mean only reinforcement magic? Because you said Mantra Boosts/Command Spells are restricted.

In that case Guts probably wins due to being a master swordsman that can fight Apostles while Kirei doesn't have many abilities other than his martial arts.

 

[Phoenks]

He still has the black keys.

He still has the black keys.

I don't recall them being more powerful than his regular attacks. They are mainly an anti-vampire weapon due to negating regen and immortality iirc. So I don't see how they'll give him an advantage against Guts, who can easily react to projectiles.

 

[Phoenks]

The black keys can immobilize targets by pinning their shadows.

Oh ok, still leaning towards Guts tho.

 

[Phoenks]

Guts does hold the skill and reach advantage, so Kirei will probably have to immobilize him early if he doesn't want to lose. The moment Guts get into close quarters could very well be the end for Kirei.

 

[Tsotso]

I don't see how Kirei immobilizing Guts really accomplishes anything. Kirei would still need to get into close range to kill Guts.

 

[Phoenks]

It would prevent Guts from attacking, basically giving Kirei a free win

Wait so it's complete immobilization?

 

[Phoenks]

I mean that's what immobilization is. It's paralysis.

Then Kirei has the advantage if Guts doesn't know his abilities.
