Special Edition: Kallen Kozuki (Code Geass) Vs Gertrud Barkhorn (Strike Witches)

Greetings and welcome to a "Special Edition" of my "Who Would Win" Series and it is going to be Kallen Kozuki from Code Geass vs Gertrud Barkhorn from Strike Witches.

This match up is going to have very interesting factors coming into play due to the fact that both Kallen and Gertrud have very unique methods of combat. 

 

For Kallen, I decided to use the canonical story of "Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion" as the primary source for her info and capabilities. While there is a continuation of the story in the form of "Code Geass Re;surrection" it is stated that it has been set in an Alternate Timeline. So, I decided to stick with the canonical story. What is easier however is that I have been told that the Alternate Timeline doesn't really change the power level of Kallen's capabilities anyway :D!!!!

 

As for Gertrud, her information is far easier to pinpoint since Strike Witches has one Major Story arc. There is a Spin off series but since it doesn't change Gertrud's Maximum potential, It won't matter anyway.

 

On a forthwright, this blog will be re-edited overtime due to the fact that Strike Witches is ongoing with the recent story arc of "Strike Witches Road to Berlin". Meaning, there will be added info once the story is up to date. However, I already decided on who will win the match up anyway XD!!!

 

Finally, I will go into their Method's of Combat, Forms (No they are not Digimon), Weaponry, Stats, Feats and finally, who I personally believe will win this amazing match up :D!!! 

So, without further ado, let's begin.

Kallen Kozuki (Spoiler Free)

 

 

 

Kallen Kozuki is one of the main characters of the series "Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion".

Kallen has a very complex background. Long story short, she is the daughter of a Britannian Nobleman and her mother is an "Eleven", meaning she is Japanese. 

In Kallen's time, Britannia is the most dominant and powerful Nation of the World. It is able to conquer the World with an iron fist (Although Australia seems to be virtually untouched so I am safe ahahahah).

 

 

 

Blue Represents Britannia and Red Represents the Chinese Federation

This is important because Kallen's brother Naoto Kozuki is a leader of a resistance movement known as "The Black Knights", who are fighting a war against Britannia for the Freedom of Japan. Unfortunately, Naoto perished while fighting and so Kallen exacted revenge by joining the Black Knights. 

One day, Kallen's life changed forever. You see, her involvement in the story goes into greater heights after the presence of a mysterious Patriot known only as "Zero" assumed command of the Black Knights to take down The Britannian Empire.

 

The Masked Patriot Zero

 

 

With this new found leader, Kallen and the Black Knights have participated in numerous events that involve Warfare, Espionage, Sabotage and Strategic elimination of Britannian Forces all for Zero's ambition.  

Eventually, the War against Britannia ended and Kallen's life, and the world, lived in a new world of unlimited peace and prosperity............ at the cost of limited food supplies XD!!!!

That is a spoiler free background of Kallen Kozuki. Now, let's see what this awesome chick is capable of :D!!!

Knightmare Frame

Kallen and the Guren Mark 2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While Kallen is not particularly superhumanly powerful, her main method of combat is with a mech suit known as a "Knightmare Frame". Knightmare Frames are armed with multiple weaponry and have unique styles of combat. In the case of Kallen, her Knightmare is known as the "Guren Mark 2". 

 

What is interesting however is that The Guren Mark 2 has multiple forms. Here is the list of all the forms for the Guren Mark 2

Type-01 (First Form)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first form of the Guren Mark 2 is quite a beast for melee combat. Unfortunately, it is also the weakest form and, as you expect, is destroyed..... however, it is the stepping stone to a more advanced and superior form. Still, as a mech suit, it does have it's uses :D!!!

 

 

Second Form

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Second Form is literally a superior form of the Type-01. It is now outfitted with more weapons and stronger armor for better protection. However, despite it's impressive capabilities, it is ultimately destroyed during battle. But, there is a work around :D!!!!

Flight Enabled Version (Third Form)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This form of the Guren is upgraded from the previous forms. However, it is now upgraded with flight capabilities that give it a significant mobility boost. This makes the form difficult to catch while in mid air against an opponent who is slower. Like it's predecessor, it is armed with virtually the same weapons and is even upgraded with new weapons with deadlier results. It could have been the coolest mech in fiction.... if not for.........

 

 

Guren S.E.I.T.E.N. Eight Elements (Final Form)

  This is without a doubt, the pinnacle of The Guren's Power Level and my favorite mech in all of fiction (And I love Mechagodzilla!!!) This Form is so badass, it may as well give MCU Iron Man a run for his money in terms of overall capabilities.

Personal Favorism aside, The Guren S.E.I.T.E.N. (Superlative Extruder Interlocked Technology Exclusive Nexus) Eight Elements is a powerhouse that is capable of ridiculous feats. Since this is the ultimate form for the Guren Mark 2, this will be the main Form used for this blog. 

 

As said before, this Form is upgraded from all previous forms but it is now able to unleash power on a grander scale in both Stats and Weaponry.

 

 

Now we have seen the Forms, we will now get into their Weaponry.  

 

 

Weapons

As mentioned before, The Guren Mark 2 is loaded with weapons. However, now, I will go into greater detail of each weapon that The Guren Mark 2 is capable of using.

 

Radiant Wave Surger: The Radiant Wave Surger unleashes a superheated Radiation Wave that literally melts anything it touches. It is so powerful, it can instantly kill the pilot inside the opposing Knightmare in mere seconds.

Radiant Wave Surger in Action

While it is very powerful, it runs on Energy. So if it is used too much, The Guren Mark 2's Power systems will shut down, leaving it completely defenseless. So Kallen has to use this ability conservatively and effectively. Still, when done right, it gets the job done.

 

 

Grappling Claw: The Grappling Claw, on the Right arm of the Guren Mark 2, is used for long ranged engagements that is perfect for catching mobile Knightmare's in place for a killing blow. It can also be a combo tactic with the Radiant Wave Surger as a finisher. Very badass :D. (Reminds me of Floyd's electrical grab from Streets of Rage 4)

The Grappling Claw and Radiant Wave Surger Combo

 

 

Right Arm-Inbuilt Armor Piercing Bombardment-Type Radiation Wave Unit

 

This weapon is my persoanl favorite for the Guren Mark 2. It unleashes a concentrated beam of Radioactive Energy that is so powerful, it can pierce through armor and overpower Knightmare Shields like nothing. It actually has two types of blasts. The First is an Iron Man styled blast that, again, fires a single guided line of Radioactive Energy for perfect long range combat

 

The First Type of the Beam Attack

 

 

 

 

 

The Second Type of the Beam Strike sacrifices Range for Area of Effect. While it may not have the same level of Range as the First Type, the Area of Effect is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!! I mean, check this out!!!

Second Form.... A Mobile Natural Disaster

Yeah, this beam type in my opinion is superior in terms of damage because of the larger area of effect. What is interesting about it though is that the amount of force that it generates is still so powerful that it can decimate entire fleets of aircraft and Knightmares with a single blast. And to be clear, a blast from it is equal to that of a Tsunami Wave, which can destroy cities.......

Maser Vibration Sword and Melee Weaponry: The Guren Mark 2 may be a devastating long ranged monster. But it also is just as awesome in terms of close ranged combat. While not exactly the most powerful weapon in it's arsenal. The Maser Vibration Sword and even it's Fists and Legs are perfectly capable of delivering devastating results against opposing Knightmares and, well, anything that comes close to it. The Sword is capable of slicing through Armor like butter.

The Sword Charge!

Oh and while we are on the topic of Melee Weapons, here is one more trick the Guren can do :D!!!

Claw Pierce!!!!!

 

Yeah, The Guren can use it's Left Claw for Melee combat by turning it into a single tip that literally pierces the Strongest Knightmare Armor. How cool is that?!!!

 

 

Gefjun Disturber: The Gefjun Disturber is one of the more efficient arsenals for the Guren Mark 2. Not exactly a weapon, though it can be a very helpful asset against opponents with electrical power sources. You see, when used, the mini devices create a field surrounding a wide area that disables electrical components of a Knightmare Frame such as their power systems and even disable their weapons entirely. Not only that, it can vary in size depending on how many devices are used. This is perfect for capture or for finishing off an opponent.

 

Gefjun Disturber

 

 

 

 

Slash Harkens: The Slash Harkens are one of the most versatile assets for The Guren Mark 2. While not as powerful in terms of Damage as the Radiant Tech Weapons, it is very important for the Guren because it also allows it to grapple opposing enemy Knightmare's in place, or even pull them towards the Guren like what Scorpion from Mortal Kombat does :D!!!.

 

 

 

Slash Harkens

Oh, and speaking of "Grapple", it can also be used to traverse across large areas by grappling buildings or large objects to give the Guren a momentary mobility boost. This ability is actually a very nice alternative to it's Flight capabilities so even if it loses it's wings, it still has the Slash Harkens to give it one more trick for mobility......... This is why I love the Guren so much. Very versatile and very badass!!!!!!!

Overall Stats and Skills

Unlike previous match up's I have done, I decided to do Stats and Skills as a single segment for the Guren Mark 2. Reason being is because, once again, Kallen's combat style is exclusively with the Guren Mark 2. Even though, well, she is a capable fighter on her own (Once took down multiple guys while wearing a bunny outfit, sexy!!!) Kallen's true potential has to be with her Knightmare. So, here is a list of Stats for Strength, Speed, Durability and Skills for Kallen's Combat capabilities and the Guren's capabilities.

 

 

Strength

 

•  Has managed to overpower multiple Knightmare's on its own.

• Since Kallen fought Suzaku, who was piloting Lancelot, she realistically can be evenly matched with his capabilities. The Lancelot in particular is capable of puncturing Knightmare Frames with just one strike.

• Broke through multiple buildings by simply running towards them without any form of effort

• Managed to destroy the Lancelot cleanly and efficiently with the Guren's physical strikes. This also caused the Lancelot to explode.

• Managed to stop parts of the Damocles Sky Fortress Shields

 

• Weapons wise, The Power of the Guren, especially with the Final Form, can destroy entire armies in mere seconds with just a single blast. This is quite scary because the Guren at this point should be around the Island Level Power output.

 

 

 

 

Speed

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Has dodged multiple laser attacks from a wide variety of Knightmare's. Suzaku's Lancelot is able to shoot down super sonic Knightmares with pinpoint accuracy. The Guren is able to dodge most of these blasts. Anya's Mordred can also strike with it's Hadron cannon, a beam that can reach 4km in a second.

 

• Can strike at Super Sonic Speeds with the First-Third Forms.  

•  The Final Form gets a substantial Speed Boost. It can fly at around Mach Speeds but there is an interesting twist. The Guren can possibly reach borderline light speeds since it only took 3 seconds for it to destroy hundreds of Britannian Forces with just it's melee strikes....... Yeah, this is cooler than MCU Iron Man now hahah

 

• Evenly matched, or superior to The Lancelot, which, again, can fight at Super Sonic Speeds. But, what is more impressive is that the Lancelot has traveled from Area 11 to Kamine Island in a time span of a couple of minutes. While it wasn't a short time span, the fact that Kamine Island is over 300kms away from Area 11, which is Mainland Japan, meant that Suzaku traveled at very high speeds anyway. 

  

 

 

• Outpaced a blast from a "Fleija" Strike. A super powerful weapon of mass destruction that is capable of decimating cities and parts of a country. 

 

 

 

 

 

Durability

 

Because the Guren has been destroyed multiple times, Durability is where it gets inconsistent. I will however have my lovely Scientist Miranda explain on how the Guren's Durability works. Take it away Miranda!!!

 

 

 

Miranda

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Miranda: Hello Grandmaster. Thanks for having me here

 

Grandmaster: No worries darling. I wanted to ask, since your so into technology and science, care to explain what exactly is the true potential of the Guren Mark 2's Durability?

 

Miranda: Ahh, well, The Guren Mark 2 is capable of being..... Building Level

 

Grandmaster: Really? I thought it is more impressive than that.

 

Miranda: Well unfortunately, because it can be destroyed by multiple types of combat, the Guren's Durability is building level at that.

 

Grandmaster: What about the later forms?

 

Miranda: Haha, your clever. Well, the Guren's Durability levels actually increase thanks to improved Armor and it also gets stronger shields with more upgrades.

 

Grandmaster: That's awesome. So, to cut it short, can you give me an estimate for the Second, Third and Final Forms of the Guren?

 

Miranda: Of course. Well, The Second Form of the Guren is around City Block Level. Since it took multiple strikes that can break through buildings like nothing. The Third Form however actually doesn't get a bigger boost but it is worth mentioning that it is upgraded with better shields and armor. So I say it goes to the town level range. HOWEVER!!!! The Final Form of The Guren, which, are we using it for the verdict analysis Grandmaster?

 

Grandmaster: Yes. The Final Form is the main form we are using for the Verdict Miranda

 

Miranda: Well, since it endured the Fleija Blast (Assuming it did) I calculate that the Durability range for the Final Form is, Country level

 

Grandmaster: WOW!!!! That is a massive Durability Boost Miranda!!!

 

Miranda: This is just a more conservative estimate, since we do not know if the Guren survived the Blast by outpacing it or even enduring "Some" of the Fleija's area of effect. But, since the final battle of Code Geass showed us that there were multiple flare blasts that can decimate armies of Knightmares and mechanical forces from both Britannia and Zero's side (No Spoilers hahah), The Guren would have been able to survive multiple blasts of the Fleija's and keep fighting at full power since, well, it is part of that battle anyway. 

 

Grandmaster: Ahhhh, that is extremely impressive. Thanks Miranda :)

 

Miranda: No worries dear. I am here if you need me ;)

 

 

 

Well?

Seems that The Guren's Durability in it's final form is Country Level........ How amazing :D!!!!

 

 

  

 

Shielding

  

Like all great Mechs, The Guren is also outfitted with a protective shield. While it is not exactly as durable as many shields in fiction. It gets the job done by simply tanking powerful attacks from all sources before reaching breaking point. It is still more durable than Icey's shield from, well, ICEY XD!!! (Still love you Icey)

 

 

 

The final form of the Guren would have doubled it's "Country Level" durability since the Shield makes it extremely difficult to kill at that point. It is a total juggernaut!!!

 

 

 

 

Skills. 

 

Kallen alone is actually a very proficient Knightmare pilot. One of the Black Knight's strongest members, she is a crafty, skilled and very tactical fighter. She generally goes for Strike first and ask questions later unless the mission says otherwise. Which also means, Kallen is fiercely loyal to her comrades, making her very co-operative with her team mates.

 

It can be seen that Kallen is just as clever as Lelouch, who doesn't have the brightest mind in Academics but makes up for it with trickery........... ha....ha XD!!!!

 

Overall, Kallen is a very skilled combatant. While I did say she is not very impressive alone, at least she is quite efficient in martial arts at least :D!!!!

 

 

 

Feats for Kallen 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Being one of the main characters of Code Geass, Kallen has quite alot of feats. Infact, I can argue she has more impressive feats than even Lelouch himself, and he is the main character of the series.

 

Here is a list of feats accomplished by the Black Knight

 

• Has officially, and cleanly, defeated Suzaku. Yes, even Suzaku admitted he lost to Kallen in their very last battle.

 

• Defeated the Forces of Britannia on a regular basis...

 

• Is able to rescue Lelouch and other fellow comrades from danger multiple times.

 

• Has won numerous victories over her opponents. Kallen actually has a very solid win loss record compared to most characters of Code Geass.

 

• Has the coolest comeback from capture in Code Geass.

 

• The Guren Mark 2 is my favorite Mech in Fiction

 

• Voiced by Ami Koshimizu (Japanese) and Karen Strassman (English)

• In my opinion, Kallen>C.C anyday even though both are amazing characters

• Best redhead in fiction :)

Weaknesses

 

 

While Kallen and The Guren Mark 2 are a whopper of a whopper in terms of combat, unfortunately, this is where the fine line is drawn. You see, Kallen has multiple weaknesses that are worth mentioning.

Firstly, is with regards to the Guren Mark 2's Power Supply. It is also, quite literally, the biggest weak spot of the Knightmare by leaps and bounds because it has so many ways of actually getting drained. Here are a number of reasons how

1.

 

The Guren's Energy Output is impressive, but if it is used too much and for longer periods of time, it will eventually drain it's battery life and finally shut down. Remember I said about the Radiant Wave Surger being capable of this? Well, it is not alone. The Beam strikes require substantial amounts of Energy and Kallen only uses it for strategic and conservative purposes. 

 

 

 

2.

 

The enemy can simply strike at the source of the Guren's power supply and it will be finished. This is one of the easier ways to drain it's power supply since it can cripple the Guren to the point that Kallen really can't do anything at all once it is done.

 

 

3.

 

If Kallen loses the Guren, she will have to eject from it using an Ejection Pod. Unfortunately, it also doesn't help her because this leaves her open to a killing blow from anyone who is quick and mobile enough to catch it. 

 

 

What is worse though, is that Kallen can still die while inside the Guren due to the fact that piercing attacks can strike through the visor and even the chest area, which has been done multiple times in Code Geass against other Knightmares. However, it is thanks to the Shield that prevents it from happening.... but again, the Shield is not impervious to damage and sufficient force will break through it anyway.

 

 

Finally, if Kallen is out of her Knightmare, she is defenseless against anyone she faces, just like what a human is to a falling ice cream or a Cookie Monster's Giant Cookie. Simply put, Kallen is, well, a human. 

 

 

 

However, despite the faults, Kallen and The Guren make an awesome, badass combination of Coolness and Style. Kallen is badass, attractive and, well, this

 

 

 

Yep, that's pretty much it XD!!!! Kallen is one of my favorite characters in all of fiction!!

Gertrud Barkhorn (Spoiler Free)

 

 

Gertrud Barkhorn, also nicknamed "Trudy" or "Trude", is the Flight Lieutenant of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing known as "Strike Witches".

Born in Kaisersberg, Trudy eventually joined the military at a young age. This was before the invading alien force known as the "Neuroi" started to wreck havoc upon the world. 

Long story short, Trudy eventually took on multiple ranks within the military and has had countless battles against the Neuroi, reaching the point that Trudy became accustomed to the threat.

 

 

One time, her sister Christiane (Chris) was in a comatose state after an evacuation that ultimately put her in hospital for a while. This hurt Trudy emotionally. Thankfully, Chris ended up ok and was able to wake up and, like the amazing light hearted series Strike Witches is, Trudy and Chris finally reunited.

 

 

After that, Trudy participated in multiple conflicts with the Strike Witches, and not only that, she has grown into a far better person due to certain events, like the protection of fellow German chick Erica Hartmann, (Who always sleeps on the job). Even went on a "Fierce" rivalry with fellow comrade Charlotte E. Yeager, also known as simply "Shirley"

 

Trudy and Shirley fighting over a chip XD!!!

 

Despite all of this, Trudy is still on a mission with the Strike Witches to take down the Neuroi once and for all..... While trying to avoid some.......... interesting moments like Boob curses, Neuroi Bugs that love to crawl into female buttholes and, well, staying out of trouble entirely.

 

 

 

That is a straightforward background for Trudy, now, let's see what this adorable Witch is capable of.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Striker Unit Types

 

 

Trudy and a Jet Striker

 

  

 

 

 

Striker Units are the main equipment for combat for the Strike Witches, and any other military organization that utilizes girls with magical powers. You see, the Striker Units were originally designed for aerial combat and it was Miyafuji Ichiro (Yoshika Miyafuji's father) who improved on the design to make it the best possible Striker Unit yet.

Background stuff aside, A Striker Unit is first powered up by the user's magical source. Some Striker Units have varying requirements of Magic to be used and in turn, can produce both incredible and dangerous results. 

Trudy however has used three types of Striker Units over the course of her lifetime. Since I already mentioned their background and usage, we can now see the different types of these Units. Here are the notable different types.

Fw109D-6/Bf109G-6: Trudy's Fw109D-6 is a prototype model that exchanged the FW190's standard air-cooled engine to a liquid-cooled one. 

 

This liquid-cooled engine variation of the Fw190 would later be adopted as the Fw190D-9. Also, as a peculiarity, her Fw109D-6 has something like a radiator attached to its lower parts. Around the time the Fw109D-6 was still undergoing testing, she also had a Bf109G-6 prepared as a spare unit.

 

Oh, and before any of you start saying "But they look silly with no pants" I got news for you, Miranda shall explain

Welcome back :D!!!

 

 

 

Miranda: Hello I am back. What is the situation Grandmaster?

Grandmaster: Hey Miranda, I want you to ask, why are the Strike Witches not wearing pants?

Miranda: Haha, ok. Well, the world of Strike Witches is on the brink of warfare, in order to conserve resources, sacrifices have to be made. Material for clothing had to be distributed to a selected few people so this way, you have a world of people wearing no pants..... some of which are magical girls.

Grandmaster: So, the Neuroi basically destroyed Clothing brands for Pants?

Miranda: You could say that. But from what I seen, the "No Pants" stuff is more of a style. Like it makes the Strike Witches more about fan service and such. Truth be told, I think it works for a certain demographic

Grandmaster: I see, so, how come some of the Strike Witches do not wear pants when using Jet Strikers?

Miranda: Simply put, if, and I say, IF!!! You wear pants while using a Jet Striker, you will risk getting the clothing materials being stuck into the propeller systems that will ultimately rip the pants apart anyway. Even worse, it can cause stuck debris that would be absolutely dangerous to the Jet Striker and the user. Think about it, why do you not want to get little birds go inside an Airplane's Engine? It would destroy it and cause the plane to crash down. That is why the Strike Witches tend to not wear pants, they simply cannot wear them when using a Striker Unit.

Grandmaster: So, why are Perrine, Sanya and Eila wearing stockings?

Miranda: Well I say that their magic may have shielded their stockings from causing debris and prevents them from shredding their stockings entirely. Magic defies physics people, do not try and judge a series by it's cover. Fiction is fiction after all. Case in point, Perrine, Sanya and Eila may have special magic distribution dedicated solely on their legs to keep their stockings intact. Other factors like Heat and Cooling systems do come into play but since we have seen Shirley use her Striker Unit to break the sound barrier that literally exploded into a rocket size propulsion, I think the Cooling system is getting the job done :D!!!!

Grandmaster: Thanks for answering Miranda :D!!!

Miranda: No worries dear. Have a good one :D!!!

 

 

Onto the next version!!!

 

 

 

 

Me 262 V1 Jet Striker

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Me 262 V1 Jet Striker is an upgraded version of the previous Striker Unit. It is capable of reaching speeds of 950kph and also requires substantial use of magic in order to be used. While incredibly powerful, it takes a toll on the user's magical source that leave's them in a comatose state, or,  knocked out. Unfortunately, (or should I say fortunately) The Jet Striker is now discarded.

The Shiny Striker Unit

 

Shiny!!!!!!

 

Without a doubt, the single coolest Striker Unit in all of Strike Witches, the Shiny type is actually a modified version of Trudy's Striker Unit. However, thanks to Shirley and Trudy's teamwork and expertise, this version of the Striker Unit boosts Trudy's Mobility to ridiculous and badass levels. It also increased her reflexes and even her overall stats entirely. Simply put, this is the ultimate Striker Unit that is more powerful than the "Improved Jet Striker" XD!!!! Take that evolution!!!

Weaponry

 

Locked and Loaded

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trudy goes into battle with an array of weapons. Infact, out of all of the Strike Witches, Trudy has the most weapons to use for combat. Here is a list of weapon types Trudy has used

 

 

MK108 Cannons

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The MK108 dual cannons are Trudy's signature guns for combat. They use 30mm caliber shells that penetrate armor with deadly efficiency. Their rate of fire is 650 rounds a minute. However, since Trudy is using two of them, she can go beyond that and fire 1300 rounds a minute.

It is worth mentioning that Trudy can use the Cannons as a Melee Weapon.... Oh, I bet you did not know about that huh? XD!!!

 

Trudy smashing a Neuroi Gunship with her MK108 Cannons

 

 

 

 

50mm Cannon

 

 

 

 

The 50mm Cannon is a single shot high powered armament that is designed specifically for the Jet Striker. It is so powerful that it is able to destroy Neuroi Craft with a single shot.

 

 

30mm Machine Guns

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While the 50mm Cannon has better damage output per shot, the 30mm Machine Gun is the true king of coolness. What is better, Trudy is able to hold four.... and I say, FOUR!!!! of these babies at once. Since Trudy is strong enough to wield multiple weapons at once, she will be given these guys for the match up :D!!!.

 

Cool factor aside, The 30mm Machine Guns fire at a very fast rate. They literally shred through anything in mere seconds like butter. Neuroi craft would be decimated by their rate of fire.

 

 

Twin RPG's

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

Trudy has used Twin RPG's that are capable of, well, as you expect from Rocket Proppelled Grenades, explosive results. Simple, awesome and devastating :D!!!

 

 

Revolver 

 

Hasta La Vista..... Baby

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Revolver may not look like much. But, if Trudy simply uses it as a finishing blow to her opponent, oh yeah, it is a badass!!!! Simple to use, 6 shots, 6 chambers, can be concealed in Trudy's panties, wala, it is great :D!!!

 

 

 

Magical Abilities

 

Trudy's Magic being triggered

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trudy is a Witch. What are Witches known for? Hair Demons? No, that's Bayonetta XD!!. 

 

Witches in Strike Witches (Hey I said the same word twice XD!!!) use Magic as a "Lifeforce" and it is used to generate power for Striker Units, give them animal ears and a tail based on their "Familiar" (Trudy's Familiar is a German Pointer) and ultimately, their trump cards like "Special Abilities" 

 

Here are two main abilities for Trudy with regards to her Magic.

 

 

Magic Shield

 

Trudy using her Magical Shield

 

 

Trudy can create a Magical Shield that protects her from all matter of attacks. The shield is so durable, it can take multiple Neuroi Beams for a while before breaking down. 

 

That said, this shield is still very difficult to break anyway.
 

 

Super Strength

 

<3!!!! Muscles!!!

  

 

 

 

 

 

Trudy's unique trait with her Magic is Super Strength. Statistically, she is the strongest of the Strike Witches and for good reason. She is so strong, even her fists become devastating weapons. At her very best, Trudy is able to, well, crush a Neuroi Super Craft with her bare hands........ Mind you, Trudy's Strength is more powerful than a aircraft bomb strike on a city........ She is the pinnacle of a Badass!!!!

 

This ability is also why Trudy brings alot of weapons into the fight. Meaning, it also increases her carrying capacity by up to eleven. Very useful :D!!!

 

 

 

Overall Stats

 

 

Since Trudy has special ways of combat, I decided to use her feats with the Striker Units and Magic for greater clarification of her capabilities for Strength, Speed and Durability.

 

Strength

 

 

Trudy holding the Super Neuroi Craft with her bare hands

 

 

• Punched a brick wall that created a huge hole
   

 

•  Tore apart Steel Chains that were holding the Jet Striker in place

•  Once threw a Steel Beam, measuring over 40 feet in length and weighing 10 tons, and threw it across an airfield at over 150ft.
  

One....

 

 

Two

 

 

THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah ummm...... Trudy puts Yang Xiao Long to shame now hahah

 

 

• Able to lift herself up for chin ups with just one arm.

 

• As mentioned before, can use her MK108 for melee combat and smash through Neuroi Craft

 

•  Stopped the Super Neuroi dead on it's tracks with just her Bare Hands being amplified with her Magic

 

• Managed to assist both Minna and Hartmann slow down a Massive Neuroi Airplane. The Neuroi plane is roughly the same size as an Airbus Commercial Plane, which generally weighs over 70-100 tons. However, the Plane could be far heavier, as it already holds numerous Neuroi Drones that number in the thousands, if not millions.  

From Left to Right: Hartmann, Minna and Trudy slowing down the Plane using their Magic

Sakamoto watching the trio slowing down the Plane's decent

• Judging from the weapons she can carry, Trudy can carry a total weight of 7000 pounds with no signs of fatigue and struggle.

 

• Has punched against a  wall with such force, it completely shattered into pieces.  

 

 

 

"Wall Breaker Trudy" XD!!!

The Next Saitama? ;)

Speed

•  Perfectly scales to other Strike Witches, at least until we talk about Shirley. Most of them are casual Super Sonic Speedsters. All of them can even dodge Neuroi Laser beams, which, by all means of logic, are faster than light

• With Shiny, Trudy now surpasses Shirley's Speed. Shirley until that point, is the fastest of The Strike Witches, she broke the Sound Barrier with her Travel Speed and her Magic alone amps up her Speed...... Trudy surpassed it since the Modified Shiny Striker Unit boosted her Mobility and Speed substantially. 

• Is the only Strike Witch that kept up with the Super Neuroi, even, again, Shirley and everyone who attempted to take it down, couldn't do so. The Super Neuroi would scale above all of the Strike Witches and it would be able to reach FTL speeds by dodging attacks entirely.... except for Trudy, who CAUGHT IT WITH HER BARE HANDS!!!!!!! LEGENDARY!!!!!!!! I said it before and I said it again but the Feat is just amazing XD!!!

• Is one of the faster runners of the Strike Witches. This is only without her Striker Unit

 

 

 

 

Durability

 

 

• Took a blow that almost killed her from a Neuroi earlier in the series, thankfully, Yoshika saved her but what made it interesting is that Trudy did have alot of resilience by staying alive long enough for Yoshika to heal her :D!!! 

 

• Was smacked in the ass by Erica Hartmann, who tried to kill a Neuroi Bug that crawled inside her ass. 

 

• As mentioned before, Trudy's shield can take multiple Neuroi strikes. However, what needs to be addressed is that the Neuroi beams are capable of vaporizing anything it comes in contact with. So for Trudy's shield to endure the blasts, means, she can endure strikes that break down on an atomic level. 

 

• Just like Speed, Trudy can perfectly scale to other Strike Witches with her Shield. Lynette for Instance managed to hold back multiple Neuroi Beams to save a couple of battleships. The beams also can cut through Battleships and city blocks like butter.  

 

 

 

 

Skills

 

 

Trudy has the distinction of being one of the absolute best in the 501st Joint Fighter Wing. Her combat skills are rivaled only by Major Sakamoto, Erica Hartmann and, believe it or not, Shirley and Francesca Luchini. 

 

Trudy is also an accomplished leader. While sometimes too headstrong for her own good, she does see the error of her ways and eventually relents to the well being of her team mates, making her very protective of them, especially for Erica Hartmann

 

Finally, Trudy is also a great planner, able to plan things on the fly, they usually work with wonders :D!!!!!! 

 

 

 

 

Feats for Gertrud Barkhorn

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An elite combatant in the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, Trudy is without a doubt, one of the best at what she does. Here is a list of  really incredible accomplishments for the badass!!!

 

• Has officially, and cleanly, and like a badass, became the third person from Karlsland to shoot down over 250 units of Neuroi Craft (and counting).

 

• Was awarded The Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords 

 

• Outpaced Shirley in a Race of Jet Striker Speed. 

 

• Helped the Strike Witches defeat Super Class Neuroi throughout the series
  

 

• Managed to rescue Erica Hartmann from the Super Neuroi craft.

 

• Crushed and Destroyed the Super Neuroi Craft 

 

•  Helped the Strike Witches find the Ass loving Neuroi bug, it ultimately was assassinated by Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke's panties..... Oh I am dead serious XD!!!! This also awarded Minna her 200th unit shot down......... XD!!!

 

• Is brave enough to go into battle against an incoming Neuroi..... without any panties XD!!!!

 

• Voiced by Stephanie Sheh (English) and Sonozaki Mie (Japanese) 

 

• She is my third favorite of the Strike Witches. Trudy is just Soooooo Coooooool!!

 

• Is, I kid you not, one of my Top Five favorite characters in all of fiction.

• Strike Witches is a legit masterpiece that is just too overlooked 

 

 

 

 

Weaknesses

 

 

 

 

 

Trudy being knocked out after too much energy usage

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While Trudy is a whopper of a whopper, unfortunately, despite her amazing accomplishments and capabilities, she is far from invincible. Firstly, her Magic usage may be very powerful, and it is renewable energy, it cannot exactly renew itself in combat for too long. 

Infact, When Trudy used the Me 262 V1  Jet Striker Unit, every time she attempted to use it, it almost killed her entirely. It was thanks to the Strike Witches and especially Shirley that Trudy survived at the very last moment. 

 

Also, as mentioned above, The Magical Shield that protects Trudy has it's limits. While very durable, it cannot take too much damage or it will be overtaxed and ultimately, leaves Trudy vulnerable to all matter of harm. And what is worse, Trudy is not exactly that more durable than a human being without the shield. If a smack from Erica Hartmann on her ass shows, she can still feel the pain just like anyone would. 

 

It is also worth noting, All of Trudy's Weapons run on ammo. So, should she run out, she will resort to melee combat. While proficient, Trudy's fighting style typically relies on Long Range combat. Still, this is probably the only weakness that is countered by a Positive for Trudy :D!!!

 

Finally, with regards to the Striker Units. Should they take damage, they will ultimately lose the ability to fly, limiting a Witch's mobility substantially. 

 

 

However, despite all of her faults, Trudy is clearly a badass and one of my favorite characters in fiction. Seriously, Trudy is adorable, cool, badass and ultimately, a very well written character. 

 

 

 

 

Summary

 

 

Kallen Kozuki

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Advantages

• Despite Trudy's Amazing Durability, The Guren Mark 2 is far more durable than even the Magical Shield

• Almost twice as more versatile with regards to weaponry and equipment

• Is more calm and level headed

• The Maser Sword can slice Trudy's Limbs when it gets into Melee Range

• While The Guren's First-Third Forms would lose, the Final Form does have a very, very good shot at winning here and since I use characters at their absolute best, the Final Form will be used for the Verdict Section.

• No matter what Trudy's shield can endure, it won't survive the Radiant Wave Surger's effects since it also passes through in a enveloping motion. Meaning, it will climb over the Shield's height and eventually touch Trudy's skin, vaporizing her from the inside

 

• More technologically advanced

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Disadvantages

• While Kallen is more Durable, Speed is definitely not gonna help her against Trudy.

• Not as experienced and Skilled as Trudy

• Despite being extremely strong, The Guren Mark 2 is not as Strong as Trudy when she is at her absolute best.

• Despite The Guren Mark 2's capabilities overall, Trudy has fought Neuroi that literally have the same methods of attack as the Guren, giving Trudy a more comfortable situation against a similar opponent 

• If Trudy can exploit the Guren's power source weakness, Kallen will lose the fight. This is also considering her Guren's Final Form. 

• While Kallen is more versatile, she has to first destroy Trudy's Magical shield in order to achieve great results, which will ultimately take a toll on her power output because her Radiant Attacks will drain the Guren's Power Source Quickly

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gertrud Barkhorn

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Advantages

• Is significantly faster than The Guren Mark 2. Even the final Form 

• Is far stronger with her Magical Special Ability

 

• More Experienced and More Skilled

 

• While The Guren Mark 2 is a difficult opponent for Trudy, the fact it's combat capabilities are similar to those of the Neuroi that Trudy has fought means that it ultimately tips into Trudy's favor once the attack pattern and Weaponry are basically nothing that Trudy has fought before.

 

• If Trudy damages the Guren's Power Source, she wins the fight.

 

• Trudy's Shield will endure most if not all of the Guren's Weapons....... assuming she doesn't get too close.

 

 

 

 

 

Disadvantages

 

• While extremely durable with her Magic Shield, The Guren Mark 2 is far more Durable

• Not as versatile in terms of weapons and equipment

• More headstrong and more likely to make mistakes compared to what Kallen is capable of, who is more calm under fire

• Despite Trudy's incredible melee capabilities, if The Maser Sword managed to cut Trudy's limbs off, she will die and lose the fight.

• Despite Trudy being far better against the First three forms of the Guren Mark 2, she will have the toughest fight in her hands with the Final Form of The Guren.

• While Trudy's Shield is impressive, if the Radiant Wave Surger catches her, she will die. Since the Shield has a Height limit, the Radiant Wave Surger's effects actually can climb over the shield and touch Trudy's skin, melting her from the inside, killing her.

• Not as advanced with technology compared to the Guren Mark 2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Verdict

 

 

 

 It has come to this. Kallen vs Trudy is without a doubt, one of the most exciting match ups I have ever done in my series. This is quite frankly, the best match up since Yang vs Leone and I admit, researching both sides has been a very, very rewarding experience for myself. Thanks to these two amazing characters, and a special friend of mine who I will thank later on, I am now officially a Code Geass and Strike Witches fan for life :D!!!!!

 

 

 

Now, onto the verdict. Who will win? This question is actually not as clear cut as it seems. Firstly we will go into stats.

 

 

Strength wise, This is an edge for Trudy. While The Guren Mark 2 is capable of wonders like slicing Knightmares like butter with both it's Maser Sword and Fists, Trudy has more impressive feats like crushing Neuroi craft and even breaking apart steel with her bare hands. However, with "Shiny", things get interesting. The significant Strength Boost for Trudy means she is certainly capable of breaking through the Guren Mark 2 in terms of Melee combat.... But there is a catch here. 

You see, while Trudy is indeed Stronger, The Guren is far more Durable. Since it took multiple Fleija blasts, that can destroy parts of a country, I am safe to assume that The Guren is durable enough to take most of Trudy's weapons without a scratch. Added it has a shield protecting it, it will be difficult for Trudy to get by and do anything......... Or is it?

While Trudy may not have the same durability edge, her magical shield is capable of withstanding most if not all of the Guren's attacks also. So really, this edge for the Guren Mark 2 is true, but then we go into deeper details that make the match up very intense.

In terms of Speed, Trudy wins this category in spades. While Kallen and The Guren have achieved very impressive speed feats like striking down Knightmares in the blink of an eye, and destroying  a Britannian Army in three seconds with only it's melee attacks...... Trudy is capable of FTL dodging speed...... Yeah, that is a pretty hard factor for Kallen to take advantage of..... but is it really?

While Trudy is faster, Kallen can use the Guren's long range weapons like the Beam for devastating results. The Beam can also fire at a wide area that is big enough to cause a huge tsunami and even cover an huge portion of the area. So much so it actually did this

 So really, this is a very powerful ability that ultimately puts Kallen in a very good position here. Trudy has never done anything that matches that level of Area of Effect Damage. So, you think I am saying Kallen wins? Not yet. Here is why

While Kallen has the Area of Effect edge, The problem is that she runs on a limited power source. If she uses too much of the Guren's weapons and capabilities, it will lose energy and eventually, shut down. This in turn spells doom for Kallen. So in order to try and finish the fight, she has to take down Trudy as quickly as possible....... And sadly, she simply can't.

Again, Speed is where Trudy wins and while she does indeed have a Magical Energy source that does run out, it is renewable energy to the point she could just use hit and run tactics to bait Kallen to the point that it will win in the long run. So in the end, Trudy is going to win this match up

But, what about the killing blows? Well, this is a win for Trudy also. While Kallen is more than capable of killing Trudy with the Maser Sword, Trudy is not that stupid to allow it to happen. She has the Speed to dodge the attacks entirely, she has the Strength to overpower the Guren's Armor and will exploit a crucial weakness that ultimately gives Trudy the home run...... The Guren's Power Supply

 

Now, since this is a random encounter, you would think Trudy would have a difficult time exploiting the Guren Mark 2's weakness right? No. You see, the reason the Strike Witches are able to destroy Neuroi craft was not only because of Brute Force and Firepower, but because they destroy Energy Cores that stop them from Regenerating lost materials and ultimately, destroys the Neuroi entirely.

 

 

With that mind set, Trudy will eventually shoot around the Guren Mark 2 like this

 

So really, this kind of mindset is why I believe Trudy has the advantage in this fight. Added that the Guren is basically nothing that Trudy has not faced before, she is going to be clever enough to bring it down, cripple it, and finally, kill Kallen. 

 

 

 

While Kallen has the Radiant Wave Surger that will certainly kill Trudy, again, Speed is what makes it almost impossible to achieve. Since we have a character who can dodge at FTL speeds at her best vs a Super Sonic Speedster, it already paints a clear picture on who is more likely going to land that killing blow first, and I believe Trudy has what it takes to get there far sooner than Kallen.

So, thanks to her Strength, Speed, Skills, Experience, Mindset, Cuteness, Coolness and all round, nice panties, I believe that Gertrud Barkhorn will win this incredible match up. Sorry Kallen, you are badass, but your "Knightmare came from a Witch"............. XD!!!!!

The Winner is Gertrud Barkhorn
