Kirei Kotomine vs Voldemort.

Speed is equalized, takes place in Fuyuki. This is stay/night Kirei, and he has access to Angra Mainyu and his pool of Command Spells in FSN.

State your reasoning.

Kirei: 0

Voldemort: 1
 
Voldemort's Unforgivable Curses obviously aren't doing jack to Kirei thanks to his resistances, and he's not going to survive if Kirei gets close. That said, he has other forms of mind manip which Kirei isn't resistant to, Fiendfyre which Kirei is going to absolutely hate trying to get away from, telekinesis which can be used to keep his opponent off-balance with hard projectiles and forcepush-esque attacks, teleportation which he can use to avoid attacks, keep his distance and control the battlefield (the movies don't depict this properly, but he actually does this in the novels), and a variety of other spells and such not listed on his profile for whatever reason. He's going to be scared shitless once he figures out his three favorite attacks are useless here, so he'll most certainly be on his guard.

Remind me what Kirei's command spells do again? Also, is his Angra Mainyu itself resistant to any types of magic, or does it simply protect him from curses?
 
His command seals just let him buff himself temporarily.

As for Angra Mainyu itself... it this form I think its just a bunch of mud. Probably resistant to magic though.
 
Voldemort has more options. Mind Manip. via Legilimency, Teleportation, Long range attacks, Transmutation and so on. Kirei is too much of a close range brawler to take on Voldemort
 
Voldy's transmutation doesn't really work on people. Just objects and such.

That said, I'd actually say Voldemort takes this. He'll be screwed if Kirei closes in on him, but the match actually has to get to that point first, and Voldemort has means of preventing that from happening. Fiendfyre's more or less going to chase Kirei down for the entire match once it's cast, and Tom has plenty of other attacks that'll keep him on his toes. Accio should be able to disarm Kirei should he bring out any of his Keys, and Confringo would cause them to explode.

Kirei's only Wall level too, so Protego should be enough to stuff any Keys that get thrown. As well, Voldemort can project shields made of silver, which should serve as a suitable defense of their own. (Dumbledore's everyday spells can violently fragment stone, yet Voldemort's silver shield is completely undamaged by them)
 
Oh, forgot to mention. Legilimency gives Voldemort mind reading. That...pretty much seals Kirei's fate here, given everything else.
 
Kirei does have the means to close the distance pretty fast; Black Keys will pin down Voldemort if they hit his shadow and are extra effective against spiritual and evil beings like himself. Kirei can also amplify his Black Keys significantly with mantra boosts and then use them as a shield or just as a throwing weapon. The bigger problem here is Angra Mainyu, which will start rotting away Voldemort's mind and body if it hits, and Kirei can also use Baptism Rite, which will exorcise Voldemort, severely damaging his soul and forcing it out of his body, from a range with Black Keys.
 
See, if any Black Keys pin his shadow, Voldemort can nullify their effects by turning them into snakes with his transfiguration. He's able to do this with items of an inherently magical nature, as he did so to a fire-rope that Dumbledore sent in his direction with magic. And again, he can also use Confringo to cause them to explode before Kirei throws them.

Kirei's AM will mess him up if it hits (assuming Voldemort's mind resistance doesn't soften the effects at all), and any attack that connects with Voldemort physically will just about kill him in one hit. but Voldemort is a lot more prepared to defend himself in ranged combat than Kirei is. Protego has protected him (and numerous other HP wizards) from spells that could obliterate stone statues bigger than humans, and far less-skilled wizards such as Dolores Umbridge have used it to block mundane projectiles like arrows and shards of glass. In Order of the Phoenix, Voldemort himself was almost impossible to hit with basic attack spells during his duel with Dumbledore, mostly because he was swatting projectiles down with silver shields and Protego, and because he was abusing his ability to teleport.

His own ranged game is also a lot scarier than Kirei's. Even without curses, he has mind manip which Kirei doesn't have resistance to, telekinesis which can be used to shove him off his feet, create shockwaves and/or hurl pieces of the environment at him, the aforementioned Confringo which can cause explosions, and Fiendfyre which is essentially a homing attack that will burn Kirei into ash the moment it touches him. (And can potentially harm souls, as it's one of the only things in HP which can destroy a Horcrux)

Also, again, Legilimency allows him to actively read minds. And much like Snape, he does this a lot during combat, to the point that it borders on precognition. Kirei won't have the element of surprise here, and Voldemort will have the advantage of knowing what all of his attacks can do.
 
Volemort would be lost, if he would face Kiritsugu Emija :D

But in this case, he has good chances of finally winning a battle. Most reasons are basically already stated above. Far better range, can avoid attacks via teleport, legilimence gives him a tactical advantage, fiendfyre is basically his death, ...

Kirei can only win this, if he can somehow close the distance which will probably not happen.

Voting Voldemort.
 
I think Voldemort would win this fight. He just has a lot more versatility with his spells than Kirei. Teleportation, Transformation Conuration and Fiendfyre and stuff.

The only way I see Kirei winnig is of he can pin down Voldemort and I just do not see that happening.

Voting Voldemort here.
 
Wait a minute. We've been at seven votes for almost a month now. This should have been added already.
