Summary
Ryüko Matoi is the teenage main hero of Trigger Studios' 2013 anime, Kill la Kill. Six months before the beginning of the series, her father was murdered in front of her by a mysterious figure. Since then she has dedicated her life to a quest for vengeance against the killer. These travels lead her to Honnōji Academy, a hellish school where its absurdly powerful student council rules with an iron fist. Thinking that their president Satsuki Kiryüi may know who killed her father, she has many intense battles against her and the rest of the student council. But perhaps they are more on her side than she thinks.
Powers and Stats
Tier: High 6-A
Name: Ryüko Matoi
Origin: Kill la Kill
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Classification: Life Fiber Infused Human, Honnōji Academy Student
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant, Expert Swordswoma, Reactive Evolution, Cloth Manipulation, Shapeshifting (With Senketsu only), Flight, Sound Redirectio, Afterimage Creation, Regenerationn (High-Mid), Immortality (Type 3), Berserk Mode when she turns extremely angry (Though this form has more disadvantages than advantages), Life Fiber Absorption, Resistance to Mind Manipulation, Memory Manipulation, Empathic Manipulation and Morality Manipulation (Resisted Ragyo's Mental Refitting on multiple occasions), Gains significant boosts to her Attack Potency and Durability the closer she is to dying, Can generate high speed air slashes, Can survive the vacuum of space, Can run up platforms at 90 degree angles or upside down, Mind Control via absorbing Ragyo's Absolute Domination (This ability only works on Life Fibers however)
Attack Potency: Multi-Continent level (Destroyed the Life Fibers surrounding the earth)
Speed: At least Massively Hypersonic+, likely higher (Far faster than Base Ragyo, who could casually outpace her previous form, which kept up with Nui Harime, who could casually speedblitz her previous Mach 4500+ form, along with someone of equal speed with her eyes closed)
Lifting Strength: At least Class T (Is far stronger than her EoS form, which lifted her City sized Scissor Blade's Final Address Decommission Mode)
Striking Strength: Class NJ
Durability: Multi-Continent level (Withstood numerous attacks from bloodlusted Ragyo with second form Shinra Koketsu), Regenerationn and boosts in durability when she gets closer to death makes her hard to kill
Stamina: Very high (Exceptionally strong-spirited, being able to create shock waves from her will alone and never gives in to pain, no matter how much it hurts. And can fight even with losing several gallons of blood)
Range: Extended Melee Range, Thousands of Kilometers with shockwaves, Planetary with Absolute Domination (Only works with Life Fibers however)
Standard Equipment: Her Kamui, Senketsu and the Scissor Blade/Rending Scissors
Intelligence: Although she is brash, hot-blooded, and hard-headed, Ryüko possesses years of experience fighting foes of all kinds in both hand-to-hand combat and with her Scissor Blades. She is ingenious in battle, frequently using her opponent's weaknesses and specialties against them and even cutting herself in half in order to exploit her innate ability to become stronger as she approaches death. However, she is fiercely independent and often chooses to rely on her instincts rather than logic, recklessly charging in to defeat her opponent as soon as possible rather than study them first.
Weaknesses: She becomes more vulnerable to damage should her opponent manage to cut Senketsu's Banshi threads, If any part of her body is cut from both sides simultaneously (i.e. with a scissor) she cannot regenerate. (Every Life Fiber thread still needs to be precisely cut however. Such as when she got cut in half from both sides, but was still able to regenerate as the slice wasn't precise enough to make the weakness kick in. This downside does not seem to be present at all in her Kisaragi form though, as she was stabbed from both sides thousands of times in the same area yet instantly regenerated from it), Ryuko can also be rather reckless and hot-headed. (Although this mindset has helped her some times such as her fight with Omiko, it's drastically held her back in others.)
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Scissor Blade (þëçÕñ¬ÕêÇÚïÅ Katatachi Basami): As the name implies, The Scissor Blade is a sword resembling a giant half of a scissor. Ryüko's signature weapon is one half of a giant pair of scissors, which she wields as a one-handed, single-edged longsword. It is one of only two known weapons in existence capable of cutting Life Fibers.
- Decapitation Mode: The scissor blade's length, range and strength become significantly increased.
- Fiber Lost (þ╣èþ¡Õû¬Õñ▒ Sen'i Sōshitsu): A forward sword thrust that allows Ryüko to absorb one's Life Fibers
- Rending Scissors (µû¡Òüíµû¼ÒéèÒâÉÒéÁÒ⃠Tachikiri Basami): When the Scissor Blades are used together, they are able to sever Life Fibers as well as prevent their Regenerationn, as shown by Nui's loss of her eye and arms (done by Isshin/Sōichirō and Ryüko respectively). In this form, they retain their ability to extend their blades, forming a pincer-like weapon called "Dual Decapitation Mode." Even though the Rending Scissors need to be used together to activate this effect, they do not need to be combined together to use this effect, meaning that it can have the same effect even when it is divided into two halves.
- Final Address Mode: One of the Scissor Blade's final transformations, which grows to a massive size twice as large as the multi-city block sized S.S. Naked Su)
- Decommission Mode: An even larger form that becomes so huge it completely dwarfs Honnouji Academy and S.S. Naked Sun.
- Final Address Mode: One of the Scissor Blade's final transformations, which grows to a massive size twice as large as the multi-city block sized S.S. Naked Su)
- Senketsu Senjin (Ú««ÞíÇÚûâÕêâ Senketsu Blade Flash): Senketsu protrudes various blades and claws from his body providing greater defense and useful for jabbing opponents.
- Senketsu Shippu (Ú««ÞíÇþû¥Úó¿ Senketsu Gale) - This form grants Ryüko the ability to fly.
- Senketsu Mubyōshi (Ú««ÞíÇþäíµïìÕ¡É Senketsu Sound Negation): An attack that redirects sound waves and cancels them out.
- Beserker Mode - When Ryüko becomes especially "hot blooded", Senketsu mutates her into a giant berserker form. Despite increasing her strength, this form takes away Ryüko's conscious control of her actions and makes her almost mindless.
- Senjin Shippu (Ú««ÞíÇÕêâþû¥Úó¿ Senketsu Blade Gale) An amalgamation of the Senketsu Senjin and Senketsu Shippu forms. With this, Ryüko is able to both fly and protrude blades/claws.
- Senketsu Kisaragi (Ú««Þíǵø┤Þíú Senketsu Fashion Week): Senketsu's ultimate transformation, achieved through absorbing the remaining Life Fibers around. This form has every other ability of Ryüko's increased to a drastically greater extent.
- Absorption Ability: Upon defeating a Life Fiber user, Senketsu is able to absorb the remaining fibers in their body.
- Evolution: Senketsu has the ability to evolve itself right in the middle of combat. Adapting his body in order to counter various, unpredictable circumstances. He has done various things with it such as growing spikes from his body to protect from whips, suddenly gaining the ability to fly in order to combat flight users and learning how to redirect sound based attacks out of nowhere.
- Enhanced Mobility: Through unknown means, Ryüko has repeatedly shown to be capable of defying gravity during combat. Able to run up platforms at 90 degree angles or run/stand upside down.
- Power Boost: Possibly another result of Senketsu's evolution, whenever he and Ryuko are on the verge of death, they gain massive boosts to their strength and durability. Ryüko once intentionally cut herself in half in order to take advantage of this ability, allowing her and Senketsu to "reach the peak of their strength."
Summary
Gurren Lagan is a Gunman formed of two other Gunmen, Gurren (originally named Gunzar) and Lagan. Formed by Kamina's spur of the moment decision to jam Lagann into Gurren's head in hopes of defeating Viral's Enki, the result was one of the most iconic Gunmen of all, proving invaluable in humanity's fight against the Beastmen and later the Anti-Spirals.

The Gurren Lagann may also use these as swords in close combat when its drills are unwieldy and can configure the boomerangs to restrain the target in preparation for the Giga Drill Break.
This was done a while ago but was removed due to stat changes. Now that theyre relatively even, lets have a rematch.
