~ Ur-Didact​
Come then warrior, have your resolutio
~ The Didact confronting Master Chief​
Summary

Shadow-of-Sundered-Star, more commonly known as "The Didact" or his Promethean name the Ur-Didact, was a Forerunner Promethean who held an extremely high status in the Forerunner society as supreme commander of the entire Forerunner military. He wholeheartedly believed in the Mantle of Responsibility the Forerunners held to protect life, and initially opposed the Halo Array as a sin beyond measure. He was also the lover and husband of the Librarian. He serves as the primary antagonist in Halo 4 and the Halo Escalatio comic series.

Powers and Stats
Tier: At least Low 7-B, possibly 7-B

Name:
Shadow-of-Sundered-Star, Most known as "The Didact", Ur-Didact.

Origin: Halo

Gender: Male

Age: 112,812 by the time of Halo 4 (Born in 110,255 B.C.E.)

Classification: Forerunner-Promethean, Commander of the Forerunner military, husband of the Librarian

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Telepathy, Telekinesis, Technological Manipulation, Light Manipulation, Enhanced Senses, Information Analysis, Data Manipulation (Comparable to other Prometheans, who can create beings of pure information and transform living beings to data), Energy Manipulation (Capable of creating Shockwaves from his armor), Portal Creation, Homing Attack and Dimensional BFR (Able to create ruptures to Slipstream-Space. Superior to the Warden Eternal who can create, and throw a Slipspace rupture that tracks its target), Teleportation (Comparable to other Forerunner Warriors who were able to Teleport to other Forerunner Installations) Levitation/Restricted Flight, Reactive Evolution (Forerunners' Warrior armor could "evolve" during and after long fights), Summoning (Can summon hundreds of Promethean Knights, Soldiers, Crawlers and Watchers that follow his command) Projectile Reflection (Promethean Watchers can create Hardlight shields capable of deflecting projectiles), Immortality (Type 1 2, and 6, Master Chief stated that the Didact was only temporarily stopped after his supposed vaporization, WOG confirms that he is still alive), Regenerationn (At least High-Low, regenerated an eye, likely Low-Mid, comparable to other Prometheans who've regenerated from loosing body parts, possibly higher, even after having his body completely vaporized, Master Chief stated that he was just temporally stopped), Transmutation with the Composer (Turned the entire population of a city of 42 million into digital essence), Adaptation (Forerunner armor is able to adapt to various planets' ecosystem), Resistance to Extreme Temperatures, Radiation, Diseases, High Gravity, Pai, the Vacuum of Space, and Transmutation (Highly-resistant to the effects of the Composer).

Attack Potency: At least Small City level+, possibly City level (After exiting the Cryptum, he was able to very casually ionize a metal barrier, capable of immobilizing other Prometheans with his Constraint Fields. Broke the Hardlight shackles used by Cortana to restrain him, said shackles were connected the the Mantle's Approach's power grid that later generated a bubble around Master Chief that withstood the HAVOK nuke, Master Chief implied he could've destroyed the UNSC Infinity, but by what means is unknown, the Composer can also Ignore conventional durability)

Speed: At least SuperHuman movement speed with at least Supersonic combat speed and Reactions, likely higher (His suit is far more sophisticated and powerful than Master Chief's, the Chief's suit by Forerunner Standards is considered a class 2 Combat Skin, whereas the Didact's is a class 18+. Should be faster than Kelly-087, the fastest Spartan)

Lifting Strength: At least Class 10+ (Far stronger than the likes of Atriox, and Warden Eternal, both of whom are much stronger than Master Chief, can lift and toss Spartans like toys), likely higher with Constraint Fields (Capable of restraining other Prometheans)

Striking Strength: At least Small City level+, possibly City level (Able to trade blows with other High Ranking Prometheans, who should be comparable to him),

Durability: At least Small City level+ (Can take hits from other ancient Prometheans with no problem. Completely unaffected by Promethean weapons), possibly City level (Vastly more powerful than the Warden Eternal, effortlessly tanked a burst from two Composers, and was confident he could survive five Composers at once, while six managed to disintegrate him)

Stamina: Nearly limitless (With their suits, Forerunners require no sleep and can fight on for days. Unaffected by having a knife driven several inches into his eye socket.)

Range: Tens of metres with constraint fields, Low Multiversal with Scanners (The Didact was able to conduct studies on a planetary system's traces of the photonic realm, the Glow), thousands of kilometres with his ship's weapons and the Composer, Galactic with Slipspace travel. At least Dozens of Kilometers Area of Effect with The Composer

Standard Equipment: Forerunner Combat Skin, his flagship, the Mantle's Approach, and the Composer. Various Promethean Weapons.

Intelligence: Genius. He commanded the entire Forerunner military for several eons and controlled the Promethean Knights for the duration of his return in Halo 4. Each Promethean is also able to control million strong phalanxes of fighters such as Phaetons. Was still able to function even after been driven insane by The Gravemind, and locked inside a Cryptum for a hundred thousand years to dwell in his own madness.

Weaknesses: Is egotistical and will sometimes hold back against "Inferior lifeforms"; Anti-hacking system has limits and has been defeated by the likes of Cortana. The Composer is useless against machines, and beings similar to The Flood. His summoned Prometheans are far below his physical tier.


Budo

Budou
Summary

Great General Budo (ÒâûÒâëÒâ╝ÕñºÕ░åÞ╗ì, Budō Daishogu) was one of The Empire's most feared and well-respected generals, as well as leading the Imperial Guard, the force in charge of protecting the palace. Noted for his immense strength and all-round battle prowess, he commanded a great deal of respect from his subordinates and other factions alike.

Budo was a tall muscular man with spiky blond hair and blue eyes. He wore a dark gray suit of armor with his Teigu Adramelech, white pants and a red cloak. His shoulder guards were notably large and have yellow tomoe markings on them.

Described as a man who rarely leaves the imperial training grounds, General Budo was a hardened man, with years of training and military hardship shaping him to his current state. As a general born from a celebrated lineage, Budo took great pride in his honor, and that of the empire. Unlike most generals, he didn't affiliate himself with the Prime Minister, instead downright detesting him. He even went on to state that once the rebels would be crushed, those who caused chaos in the country would incur his "wrath".

Powers and Stats
Tier: 7-B normally, higher with Solid Shooter

Name: Budo, "Lightning Geezer"

Origin: Akame ga Kill!

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown, Likely in his 30's

Classification: Human, Teigu User, Great General of Empire

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Electricity Manipulation, Weather Manipulation, Lightning Attacks, Energy Attacks, Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant, Flight, Danmaku

Attack Potency: City level (Should be comparable to Esdeath in her beginnings who froze an entire river, although Esdeath is far stronger now. Casually created a storm during his battle with Night Raid), higher with Solid Shooter (Stronger than any previous attack, created a discharge of energy so powerfull, it forced Mine's Teigu to overload and be destroyed)

Speed: At least Hypersonic+ with Massively Hypersonic reactions/combat speed (Scaling from Tatsumi who dodged his lightning)

Lifting Strength: SuperHuman

Striking Strength:
City Class (Can contend with Evolved Tatsumi)

Durability: City level (Took multiple blows from Evolved Incursio Tatsumi, able to use his Teigu without any damage or backlash to himself)

Stamina: Extremely high; can fight with deadly wounds

Range: Standard melee range. A few kilometers with lightning bolts.

Standard Equipment: Budo possessed the Teigu Thunder God's Rage: Adramelech, which allowed him to use electric attacks. Attacks seem to get more potent as he gets angrier.

Intelligence: Average but should be equal to Esdeath (as both are generals, and he is her superior so he should be at least as smart as her)

Weaknesses: His Teigu has a limited amount of power. As he runs out, his lightning attacks become weaker.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • Thunder God's Rage: Adramelech was a Teigu possessed by the highest ranking official in the Imperial Army, Great General Budo. It had a form of two gauntlets that produce electricity.
    • Lightning Crash (ÚøÀµûùÕêâÚºåþ▓ëþáò Raitoningu Kurasshu): After manipulating the weather to create a thunderstorm, user summons charged lightning from sky towards to their target. This ability is strong enough to kill a Danger Beast easily.
    • Advent of Thunder Emperor (ÚøÀթصïøµØÑ Raitei Shōrai): By charging high amounts of energy, user manipulates the weather to summon several pillars of lightning which pierces through earth instantly.
    • Solid Shooter (Òé¢Òâ¬ÒââÒâëÒéÀÒâÑÒâ╝Òé┐Òâ╝ Soriddo Shüt─ü): The trump card of Adramelech. By charging huge amounts of electrical energy, user fires a black-colored powerful electric beam. In the anime, this ability was like Budo's electricity orb attack.
Both at 7-B with speed equal.

Both in character, the Didact is aware of Budo's strength however. Both can use all equipment and attacks.

Victory via any means.

Who wins and why?

Didact:1 Gargoyle One

It should be noted that Budo doesn't one-shot 21 megaton characters. And he struggled with Evolved Tatsumi, along with Leone and Akame,
