Kirei Kotomine
A certain scripture mentions that humans are superior to angels. Why? Because there are people who know of evil, but do not become evil. It's different from angels, who know only of good since birth. Humans have evil, but can live as good, so they are superior to angels, who know only good.
~ Kirei Kotomine​
Powers and Stats

Tier: 9-B

Name:
Kirei Kotomine

Origin: Fate/stay night

Age: 37 (27 during Fate/Zero)

Gender: Male

Classification: Human, Master / Magus / Executor

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Master of Martial Arts, Magecraft, Spiritual Healing (He heals one's soul rather than their flesh), can read an opponent's fine body motions to predict their movements, Statistics Amplification (Can boost his physical capabilities with normal magecraft, or with Command Spells), can exorcise wandering spirits, Regenerationn Negation with Black Keys, can survive for around a day without his heart (after having it replaced by the Grail), Mind Manipulation with Angra Mainyu (He can control the mud of the Grail, which melts the body and mind of whatever it is exposed to, usually driving them insane and killing them), Resistance to Magic (All magi have basic resistance to magical effects) and Curses (Due to having his heart replaced by the corrupted Grail, he is resistant to curses targeting humans and can manipulate the mud of the Grail without consequence)

Attack Potency: Wall level (Can easily break a tree in half, easily overpowered Shirou while dying, and when he had no magical energy left) Ignores conventional durability by attacking internal organs.

Speed: Subsonic with Massively Hypersonic reactions (Even when completely devoid of magical energy, he easily blitzed Shirou, and kept up with his running speed without exerting himself at all)

Lifting Strength: At least Athletic Human (Effortlessly lifted and held Irisviel von Einzber, who weighs 52 kilograms without clothes, off the ground with only one arm)

Striking Strength: Wall Class

Durability:
Wall level

Stamina:
Extremely high. Continued to fight Kiritsugu after losing the use of one of his arms, and somehow managed to stay alive for an entire day after his heart was destroyed, and then fight and easily outmatch Shirou while dying.

Range: Extended melee range, tens of meters with Black Keys

Standard Equipment: A number of Black Keys (usually around ten), his bulletproof frock (made of Kevlar and reinforced by protective spells), and several Command Spells.

  • Black Keys: The main weapons of the Church's Executors, a sacrament taking the form of a long, slender sword. Despite appearances, they are not made for melee combat, but instead as projectiles. By hitting a target's shadow with a Black Key, the target is immobilized, incapable of moving away as their shadow is pinned. They negate Regenerationn and have the ability to intervene against "evil", allowing them to pin even Servants, though they cannot lethally harm them.
Intelligence: Kirei is an incredibly intelligent and manipulative person with lots of experience in combat. He spent years of his life being trained as an Executor, the Church's elite killers, and has thus fought and killed many magi and even Dead Apostles. He excels at delving into an opponent's trauma and bringing it up in a fight to throw them off and put them at a disadvantage. He remains calm in even the most dire situations, allowing him to calmly and easily react to gunfire, and by sensing an opponent's killing intent and predicting their actions by reading their fine body movements, he can stay a step ahead of them in combat. He is a master martial artist, exceptionally skilled in Bajiquan, and though he refers to his knowledge as lacking heart, his skill is enough that he is able to easily outmatch Kiritsugu and Shirou in hand to hand combat.

Weaknesses: During the events of Fate/stay night, he is past his prime.

Notable Attacks / Techniques:

  • "Six Grand Opening - Elbow Upthrust"
  • "Eight Postures of the Buddha Guards"
  • Kirei deflects an Origin Bullet
Bajiquan: Kirei is a practitioner of a branch of Bajiquan referred to by Gen Urobuchi as "Super Bajiquan", born from a fusion of regular Bajiquan and magecraft. It is a reckless art, one that Kirei refers to as a "mimicry of taolu without much in it", but he is still exceptionally skilled. He takes the shortest route to damage his opponent's inside rather than their outside, crushing Kiritsugu's lungs and heart with a single blow, and badly damaging Shirou's internal organs even as his skin turned to steel. He has mastered the art of "hearing a move", and doesn't need his eyes to detect and react to an enemy's movements, predicting and easily reacting to them. Even when Kiritsugu accelerated his speed by three times and Kirei had one usable arm and blood in his eye, he was able to block all of Kiritsugu's attacks with one hand. In his final fight with Shirou during Heaven's Feel, his skill was such that Shirou didn't land a single blow.

Magecraft: Kirei was born with Magic Circuits despite being born into a non-Magus family, a reward for his father's years of pious worship. While he studied many types of magecraft under Tokiomi Tohsaka, he mastered none, always stopping short of the last step and discarding all his previous efforts. He is ultimately a beginner-level magus. The only magecraft he shows any real skill in are physical reinforcement and spiritual healing. His skill as a spiritual doctor is among the greatest in the world. Spiritual healing revolves around the healing of the soul rather than flesh, and Kirei's knowledge allows him to use it to remove the Command Spells of others. Using Command Spells, he is able to realize a miracle and perform surgery on Sakura Matou to save her life from the Crest Worms eating away at her body and mind.

  • Baptism Rite: The sole spell officially taught to members of the Church, the words of God and the greatest weapon against spirits. By reciting the chant, Kirei can exorcise wandering souls, nearly instantly destroying Zouken's spiritual body. He survived only because his true body is located elsewhere, but it still injured him extremely badly, accelerating the degradation of his soul. It can even potentially destroy Servants without a Master, as at that point they are no more than another wandering spirit.
Angra Mainyu: After being shot in the heart by Kiritsugu, Kirei was revived when the mud of the Grail washed over his Servant, Gilgamesh, and, unable to corrupt him, followed the line of mana to Kirei. It healed his wound and his connection to the Grail acts as a replacement for his heart. It makes him highly resistant to curses that target humans, rendering him immune to Zabaniya and allowing him to freely interact with the mud of the Grail. Due to his connection, he can manipulate it as he pleases as long as the Grail is available, creating whip-like tendrils from the mud to attack opponents. The mud's curse melts one's body and mind, exposing them to the full curse of All the World's Evil, and ultimately destroying them as their mind and body collapse under the weight of all the pain and hatred.
Neo (The Matrix)
Neo Matrix
I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end, I came here to tell how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world...without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries; a world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you.

Powers and Stats

Tier: 9-B

Name:
Thomas A. Anderson, Neo, The One

Origin: The Matrix

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown, appears to be in his late 20s to early 30s. The Merovingian refers to him as "boy" in Reloaded.

Classification: Human, Prime Program, Savior of Humanity

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Master martial artist and weapon master, Telekinesis, Intangibility, Internal Combustio

Attack Potency: Wall level+ (Fought on-par with Agent Smith)

Speed: SuperHuman with Supersonic reactions/combat speed (Fought on par with Agent Smith, who can casually bullet-time; repeatedly dodged incoming bullets from a Mark XIX Desert Eagle which can shoot bullets at 420 meters per second/mach 1.37; should be faster than Niobe and Ghost which dodged bullets from MP5s)

Lifting Strength: SuperHuman

Striking Strength:
Wall Class+

Durability:
Wall level+ (Withstood a brutal beating from Agent Smith during their battle in the subway)

Stamina: Very high (Was able to fight off Agent Smith for an extended period of time and fight through multiple broken bones)

Range: Standard melee range, extended melee range with weaponry, varies from several meters to hundreds of meters with firearms, up to thousands of meters with shockwaves, several dozens of kilometers with telekinesis and reality warping

Standard Equipment: None notable outside of the Matrix, though while within the Matrix the equipment he carries varies depending on his surroundings. Some of the notable weapons he has displayed skill with in the past are 92FS Beretta pistols, Yyugoslav Model 61 Skorpion machine pistols, M16 assault rifles, metal tetherball poles wielded as staves, sai, and European longswords.

Intelligence: High, particularly in regards to combat techniques and computers. He additionally has some precognitive ability in the Matrix due to his ability to read the system's code.

Weaknesses: None notable.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • Internal Combustion: Neo only uses this once, at the end of the first film when he awakens as The One. Neo phases his body inside of an opponent and shatters it to pieces by overwriting the body's code. This backfired against Neo, however, as shown when Smith went from being an Agent of the system to becoming a virus that has powers similar to Neo's own. Bypasses conventional durability.
Now, I've never seen Fate besides Carnival Phantasm so... I hope this goes well.

Kirei doesn't have access to Mantra Boosts

Speed Equalized.

Who wins?

Kirei: 3

Neo: 0
 
I like this match. I'm gonna go with Kirei via him attacking Neo's internal organs. I would say AM, but I don't think Kirei has access to it all the time
