Versus Battle Misaka Mikoto vs Rin Tohsaka

#1
In character, no knowledge, random encounter. Who wins?




Round 1: Strictly a physical brawl, Rin using only Reinforcement, while Misaka only using Rampage Dress

Round 2: Standard battle with everything at their disposal. Minus Rin’s Jewel Sword and Misaka’s AAA

Round 3: Same as 2 but Rin gets the Jewel Sword and Misaka gets her AAA with Shokuhou, however Shokuhou does nothing beyond provide mental assistance with the AAA and assist with the Liquid Proof Railgun

Round 4: Level 6 Misaka vs Rin as the Servant Goddess Ishtar

Rin should clear she's physically more capable especially in terms of hand to hand she's actually trained in martial arts and while Misaka does have much more power input thanks to her esper power

Rin has the agility to avoid her big attacks

The ojly one I'm not 100% sure Rin wins is round 3 because Level 6 Misaka is almost monstrous

Misaka was pulling off some great martial arts moves in Jail Breaker






Rin has the agility to avoid her big attacks.
We’ve learned Misaka’s incorporated Junko’s Rampage Dress ability to herself, which is basically Reinforcement, giving Misaka increased power and agility

Level 6 Misaka just got a recent boost in a rather silly side novel by the author of a hypothetical What-If story of Shokuhou Misaki and Misaka Mikoto settling their beef by going all out against each other.

Misaka goes Level 6 and Shokuhou needed to fuse with the artifical angel Fuze Kazakiri to fight her evenly

Doesn't she reach level 7 at one point or was that accelerator?

There’s no such thing as a Level 7. Level 5 is the highest rank with 6 basically being a theoretical of an Esper crossing into God’s territory

Also here’s the Kaiju fight between Level 6 Misaka and the Shokuhou Misaki / Fuze Kazakiri hybrid

And she didn’t need to brainwash all 2.3 million.

As long as she had half of them – around a million – directly or indirectly under her influence, she could probably get what she wanted.

She wanted a deep secret hidden in Academy City, which would be enough to resist Lightning Goddess Mikoto.

Namely…

The AIM diffusion field aggregation. Kazakiri-san, the science side’s shining golden angel, will be mine☆”

Fearsome light erupted in Academy City for a second time.

“No…you mustn’t force me out from the Imaginary Number District…kyahhhh!?”

During the process, Shokuhou thought she heard the voice of a shy (and a lot more rational than Mikoto or Shokuhou at the moment) girl, but she chose to ignore it.

The tremendous energy was helplessly controlled and stored within her. The air vibrated as Shokuhou’s silhouette greatly changed. She looked a lot like a golden glowing beauty goddess. She had shining angel wings growing from her back. No, were those were giant, sharp flower petals?

“Hwa ha☆”

The Queen laughed.

There was no wind, but her long blonde hair spread out to the sides as a brutal smile formed on her lips.

With a solid “clink!!”, a golden halo appeared above her head. It was in fact a wreath of flowers.

The giant flowers blossoming from her hair and clothing shook to scatter a sweet aroma. Glowing pollen blew in the wind, looking a lot like fine gold dust. That was it. She did nothing more, but everyone within a 5km radius was brainwashed.

Flowers remained motionless and used the bugs and small animals lured in by their scent and color to carry their pollen and seeds for reproduction. And sometimes they even lured in the predators of any pests to indirectly attack them.

At this point, Shokuhou didn’t need to aim her remote and consciously focus on her target.

She was like a great mental hurricane that controlled everyone around her with no effort on her part.
Kaiju clashed with kaiju.
The electric energy was so great skyscrapers weighting tens of thousands of tons were ripped from their foundations and floated in midair. The giant glowing winds created from a million espers’ AIM diffusion fields tore through the air to attack. The asphalt ground was easily blown away and a metal bridge twisted from the intense heat before being blown away too. Mikoto swung a broadcast tower with magnetism, but the massive glowing flower petals coming from Shokuhou’s back easily sliced it in two.

No one could stop them now.

The Six Wings and the latest powered suits might as well have been flies buzzing around Tokiwadai’s Ace and Queen.

“O-oh, dear. Creating a route to access the Imaginary Number District and Kazakiri Hyouka without using Last Order, a virus program, or even touching the Misaka Network is entirely unprecedented. Maybe it’s a researcher’s nature to regret not having my observation equipment ready more than I fear for my safety.”

“Nyah… What am I even supposed to do about that? For now, I’m grabbing my maid sister and hiding underground!!”

Even Yoshikawa Kikyou, Tsuchimikado Motoharu, and others with one foot into the dark side were too intimidated by it to even think about fighting back.
Academy City might just end this day.
The sight was enough to give premonitions of apocalypse.


Those goddess forms or special modes or whatever were supposed to cause their physical bodies to collapse in a few minutes, but neither Mikoto nor Shokuhou showed any sign of that happening.

They were only focused on punching the girl in front of them.

Ah that might of been in a fan fiction I once read

Oh right I forgot Misaka can incorporate close range combat in her fighting style, usually she an mid-range or long-range combatant depending on the situation.

One of Rin's gemstones (which contain years worth of mana stored in them) was able to take out a life from Herakles (Berserker). It could be that one thing that turns the tide in Rin's favour, aside from her bajiquan enhanced with physical reinforcement magecraft.

That’s cool and all with rin’s gemstones killing Herakles taking one of his life, but now she has to kill him eleven different ways now.

Only one gemstone is needed for this particular battle if it's the one that leads to a decisive finishing blow, wouldn't it?

Q: On average, how much is one of Tohsaka Rin’s jewels worth?

A: If we’re only talking about the ones she uses in combat, those go up to about 500,000 yen each. As for the ones made of crystals originally easy to store mana in, those are made of precious metals and fetch a very high price (I decided long ago that the gems would be very valuable). The Tohsaka have exclusive channels through which they obtain the jewels, and Rin racks her brains every day wondering whether she could've gotten a better price from the buyer if she had just become friends with that lady.
Saw in this Q&A that those jewels have metal to them, which Misaka controls via magnetism like when she redirect the swing of Brunhild’s claymore to divert both the swing and the building shattering shockwave or when she stopped the swing midway

She could definitely do the same here. Plus she’s got incredibly fast reflexes to these sorts of attacks

To put it out there, Rin wins both Round 1 and 2. Misaka knowing Martial Arts doesn't mean shit because Rin is already superhuman even before Reinforcement or Gems come into play considering she can keep track of Servants and dodge attacks from them(And HA shows she has a workout room herself) and can even use Reinforcement to amp herself as hard as Kuzuki was amped by Caster(meaning a x10 boost).

Also, if we are giving her the Gems that Heracles has, there's no way in hell Misaka is dealing with those without level 6 on any level whatsoever with what is shown.

For Round 2, giving Rin the Jeweled Sword? An Excalibur-level object that allows her to draw magical energy from her countless parallel selves from across all the timelines? Which destroyed the Mud of The Holy Grail? Misaka is getting killed even worse.

Round 3? Servant Ishtar absolutely slaughters and it's not even a contest.

Misaka is superhuman too with Rampage Dress.

Misaka kept up with Brunhild at her best and has her own feats of dodging Electron beams

Also, if we are giving her the Gems that Heracles has, there's no way in hell Misaka is dealing with those without level 6 on any level whatsoever with what is shown.[/quote} Why not? She can dodge the beams and the jewels are noted to be made of precious metals, so Magnetism is fair game too.

For Round 2, giving Rin the Jeweled Sword? An Excalibur-level object that allows her to draw magical energy from her countless parallel selves from across all the timelines? Which destroyed the Mud of The Holy Grail? Misaka is getting killed even worse.
Relies on her being tagged though

Round 3? Servant Ishtar absolutely slaughters and it's not even a contest.
Really? Even with the recent crossover novel now putting Level 6 Misaka firmly in the same tier of power as the likes of Kazkiri?

I don't see how that matters considering Misaka would have to realize Rin can basically tear her to shit first and foremost and despite what the Anime gives you, Rin can be pretty cold hearted and kill someone if she needs to.

Rin has kept up with Servants in reactions and speed so that's not much of an issue with her.

Why not? She can dodge the beams and the jewels are noted to be made of precious metals, so Magnetism is fair game too.
That would require Misaka being able to affect that level of Magical Energy in the first place and I can easily give you proof that even a decent amount of Magical Energy can start telling physics to go fuck itself including stuff like Gravity and Magnetism.

Relies on her being tagged though
I... don't really see how Misaka is dodging any of the beams from the Jeweled Sword of Zelretch considering how they are basically mini-Excaliblasts and there is no cooldown time at all.

Really? Even with the recent crossover novel now putting Level 6 Misaka firmly in the same tier of power as the likes of Kazkiri?
Considering Ishtar can casually blow up Servants with a single powered shot, casually keeps up with some of the stronger Divine Spirits and can summon Gugulanna in a pinch who can casually stomp Countries into nothing amongst much other ridiculous feats?
Yeah, I actually believe so.

Brunhild is kill first, ask questions later and opened their fight with a blitz. Misaka dodged her anyway and reacted to her second blitz right afterwards

Fastest speed feat we have of her?

She can dodge the beams as mentioned since they have non actual speed vs the Meltdowner electron beams which IRL travel at or near light speed)

Does it again at 0:40

and I’m not talking the magical energy but the jewels themself, using magnetism to yank whatever jewel right from Rin’s hand or spin the jewel around so that the beam fires somewhere else or even on Rin.

Example, Misaka using magnetism to mess with a bridge to affect Brunhild’s footing to where her oncoming swing and shockwave it produce both swung upwards completely missing Misaka.


I... don't really see how Misaka is dodging any of the beams from the Jeweled Sword of Zelretch considering how they are basically mini-Excaliblasts and there is no cooldown time at all.
Same way she dodges Meltdowner fired at her point blank and from behind and that’s before Rampage Dress training lets her move faster. Also, what’s the sword made of? If it’s metal, same thing applies with Brunhild who Rin does not have the same strength as.



Considering Ishtar can casually blow up Servants with a single powered shot, casually keeps up with some of the stronger Divine Spirits and can summon Gugulanna in a pinch who can casually stomp Countries into nothing amongst much other ridiculous feats?
Yeah, I actually believe so.
Level 6 Misaka is in the same ballpark as WWIII Accelerator and Kazakiri, former survived a Eurasia destroying blast that he couldn’t Reflect, latter was able match Gabriel in power and contain their self destruction

And so is Rin, have you watched Fate in any capacity? The only reason she lets Shinji and Shirou go often is because the former is her sister's brother and the latter is someone she has a crush on. And Rin has reacted to Artoria's movements, Heracles' movements, Kotomine's and otherwise so no, blitzing her is not happening because you tell me so.

Fastest speed feat we have of her?
Her moving as fast as Artoria in UBW against Caster:

Here, Rin rushes towards Medea with Artoria like speed.
There's also the 2nd Bad End in UBW where she actually outpaces Heracles and and shields Shirou using her body against him(The video for that is missing but that is a genuine Bad End).

There's also her dodging Cu's attacks(While Cu wasn't going all out, he still was aiming to kill as that is how he acts) in the Prologue:

, Cu Chulainn stands about 10 meters away from Rin Tohsaka. Here, Rin instinctively moves to dodge Cu Chulainn's strike (so, he moved some 10 meters in the time she took to dodge into the fence). Here, Rin runs from the school roof to an open field more than 100 meters away in less than 7 seconds.
And don't bother with the downplay attempts for the latter, I can easily use simple means to scale Rin to MHS+ that also exists in F/SN and the other Human Characters and Servants that match and exceed that.

She can dodge the beams as mentioned since they have non actual speed vs the Meltdowner electron beams which IRL travel at or near light speed)

I don't really care about the former since that's ultimately nothing(The hell is Non-Speed? She can move at infinite speed now? Ha). The latter can easily be taken as to her own fine tuning of her abilities to predict Mugino's Electron Beams(Since if you can manipulate Electricity which means you can manipulate Electrons, what type of person are you to not react to when they are created?)

and I’m not talking the magical energy but the jewels themself, using magnetism to yank whatever jewel right from Rin’s hand or spin the jewel around so that the beam fires somewhere else or even on Rin.

Example, Misaka using magnetism to mess with a bridge to affect Brunhild’s footing to where her oncoming swing and shockwave it produce both swung upwards completely missing Misaka.
Magical Energy can explicitly interfere with the Laws of Physics, Space and even Time if enough of it is even in the area. Magnetism is not affecting the level of Magical Energy Rin used on Heracles and Medea, not one bit.

Same way she dodges Meltdowner fired at her point blank and from behind and that’s before Rampage Dress training lets her move faster. Also, what’s the sword made of? If it’s metal, same thing applies with Brunhild who Rin does not have the same strength as.
Again as the above, her dodging Mugino's Electron Beams which would still require manipulating Electrons vs. a person who manipulates Electrons is not the speed feat you think it is, nor does it help against the Jeweled Sword of Zelretch because you are legit vastly overestimating the size of the beams vs. Mugino's to begin with.


Misaka isn't dodging these easily, especially when again, they are Excalibur-level blasts(Especially in the movie where she explicitly vaped the Grail Mud Sakura tossed at her).

Here, Rin kills another Giant Shadow Curse with the Jeweled Sword Zelretch. Here, Rin kills another Giant Shadow Curse with the Jeweled Sword Zelretch, Rin highlights how this is just a pure contest of power between herself and Sakura's attacks. Here, Rin kills another Giant Shadow Curse with the Jeweled Sword Zelretch, Sakura compares the power of Rin's attacks to Excalibur. Here, Sakura reiterates the Jeweled Sword Zelretch is replicating the power of Excalibur. Here, Rin kills another Giant Shadow Curse with the Jeweled Sword Zelretch. Here, Rin informs Sakura that this is basically a fight between an imitation of the Third Magic (power of the soul) and an imitation of the Second Magic (power of parallel worlds). Here, Rin kills another Giant Shadow Curse with the Jeweled Sword Zelretch, the light and heat, compared to a miniature Excalibur's, causes the large cavern to rumble.
Level 6 Misaka is in the same ballpark as WWIII Accelerator and Kazakiri, former survived a Eurasia destroying blast that he couldn’t Reflect, latter was able match Gabriel in power and contain their self destruction
Cool, Ishtar can literally chuck a Planet at people and still continue to fight fine after that while being able to fight Gilgamesh and Enkidu, people who would easily scale to Star levels.
Unless you are really going to overplay how strong Gabriel's special attack is, Level 6 Misaka isn't doing anything here at all.

And so is Rin, have you watched Fate in any capacity?
Indeed I have, I’m not arguing Rin in turn would let her guard down against Misaka like it was being argued right now in reverse. Rin’s more ruthless sure, but Misaka is more than cautious in a fight and will use lethal force when the opponent proves it’s needed. So arguing state of mind or willingness to kill are pointless with two combatants that efficiently use their abilities to their fullest.

The only reason she lets Shinji and Shirou go often is because the former is her sister's brother and the latter is someone she has a crush on.
Yup, good thing too for whatever much more karmic fate Shinji faces depending on the route

And Rin has reacted to Artoria's movements, Heracles' movements, Kotomine's and otherwise so no, blitzing her is not happening because you tell me so.
Latter two in the same ballpark as Saints if not less so. Comparing Kotomine to the likes of Brunhild or Kanzaki is a literal hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby



Her moving as fast as Artoria in UBW against Caster:



There's also the 2nd Bad End in UBW where she actually outpaces Heracles and and shields Shirou using her body against him(The video for that is missing but that is a genuine Bad End).

There's also her dodging Cu's attacks(While Cu wasn't going all out, he still was aiming to kill as that is how he acts) in the Prologue:

Misaka controlling her powers in time to stop Brunhild’s blitz:

“From the perspective of one’s bodily senses, Brunhild seemed to just disappear. And since she was moving faster than sound, one could never react in time based on sound.

Brunhild Eiktobel charged up to a point right in front of Mikoto and vigorously swung up the claymore hanging down from one hand.

She also twisted her wrist to lay the giant sword down flat as she swung it.

Normally, this may have been an attempt to not hit one’s opponent with the blade of the sword. However, the situation here was different. Brunhild Eiktobel could move at supersonic speeds and the claymore she held was like a giant sword made by attaching a grip to a metal sheet.

By laying the blade flat, she could use it like a giant fan made of steel.

An overwhelmingly violent fan that used the massive shockwave created when an object moved at supersonic speeds.

That would end it.

Not only would it crush the girl’s fat and muscles from the outside, but her eardrums, lungs, and trachea would rupture from within.

However…

“Damn you!!”

“!?”

She reacted just before it hit.

A dull noise came from below their feet. The ground below moved. The road at the top of the overpass was made in blocks that included the supports below. The girl controlled one entire block with magnetism to tilt it like a seesaw.

This caused Brunhild’s aim to be off with her claymore strike and the sonic boom flew off into the distance. All the glass in one of the buildings alongside the road was smashed to pieces.”

And don't bother with the downplay attempts for the latter, I can easily use simple means to scale Rin to MHS+ that also exists in F/SN and the other Human Characters and Servants that match and exceed that.
Misaka without even going into scaling and just her own feats is Relativistic to FTL



I don't really care about the former since that's ultimately nothing(The hell is Non-Speed? She can move at infinite speed now? Ha). The latter can easily be taken as to her own fine tuning of her abilities to predict Mugino's Electron Beams(Since if you can manipulate Electricity which means you can manipulate Electrons, what type of person are you to not react to when they are created?)
Mispelled. I meant to write no actual confirmed speed where as Meltdowner beams from Mugino’s are actual real life particle / electron beams

We know when Misaka is diverting the beams and when she dodges them. Here is her diverting them where we see the beams actually bend away.


The manga scan shows no change in the beams. And Misaka has no ability to pre-emptively sense the beams ahead of time either. Especially in the manga scan where she dodged 4 beams, each fired in completely random directions as well as point blank and from behind.


Magical Energy can explicitly interfere with the Laws of Physics, Space and even Time if enough of it is even in the area. Magnetism is not affecting the level of Magical Energy Rin used on Heracles and Medea, not one bit.
Citation for Rin ignoring laws of physics space and time and to what effect to argue she can ignore powers, especially those at Misaka’s level.



Again as the above, her dodging Mugino's Electron Beams which would still require manipulating Electrons vs. a person who manipulates Electrons is not the speed feat you think it is,
How?

nor does it help against the Jeweled Sword of Zelretch because you are legit vastly overestimating the size of the beams vs. Mugino's to begin with.


Misaka isn't dodging these easily, especially when again, they are Excalibur-level blasts(Especially in the movie where she explicitly vaped the Grail Mud Sakura tossed at her).
If your arguing Area of Effect now, beams fired from her Jewel Sword are about as wide as the Angel Dragon’s light attack





^ Order of panels, Dragon fires it’s cross shaped beam with Misaka taking action at that timeframe based on her started expression next panel, beam envelopes her, she’s revealed to have magnetically pulled a whole metal sheet in front before the light reached her.

Pulling a magnetic wall towards herself won’t help against the Jewel Sword blasts but she can instead magnetically move herself out of the way at the same speed she moved that metal sheet since moving her body around through magnetism is one of her methods for moving.

Cool, Ishtar can literally chuck a Planet at people and still continue to fight fine after that while being able to fight Gilgamesh and Enkidu, people who would easily scale to Star levels.
Unless you are really going to overplay how strong Gabriel's special attack is, Level 6 Misaka isn't doing anything here at all.
Context, she doesn’t move the actual planet Venus, but the “concept” of one that’s only based on what people could interpret Venus as during the stone ages over the scientific understanding of what a planet is today at that. The actual moon physical Venus that matters is in no way affected.


“Based on such anecdote, Ishtar pulls off a deed that even God fears: upon employing the Noble Phantasm, she warps to Venus and takes possession of its concept by means of management rights, loading it and firing it from the Boat of Heaven’s magazine as a conceptual planet.

While in the middle of her Noble Phantasm, when Ishtar warps to Venus, this is not the Venus in the outer space of the modern era’s, but rather, the Venus in the outer space during the time of the age of mythology. Afterwards, grabbing (the concept of) Venus and loading it onto her bow as a bullet, the Venus Blaster shoots this Venus that had been turned into a bullet towards the Earth (surface), and from another person’s perspective, it casually warps into the modern era’s airspace through the utilization of displacement magecraft. The mountain range that was a nuisance to others, even to the Earth and to Venus, is accordingly destroyed by this Venus.”


Well I can pull up scans of it being stated Kazakiri was the only one present who could actually match Gabriel's power who does have the feat of casually moving and rearranging actual planets and everything else in the Solar System. And in case it’s not clear why Level 6 Misaka compares, she’s fighting Shokuhou Misaki with all of Kazakiri’s powers taken into herself

And plus there's Kimi Shundan who Misaka fought and matched at just Level 5, who created Solar System devouring Black Holes in space that I can scale her too. Heck, the very Angel Dragon Kimi uses that eats those black holes for energy alone couldnt fully stop Level 6 Misaka. It took Touma the Angel Dragon as well as several other Dragons to destroy her power


Damn. I missed this kind of old school nerd debating

Misaka's absolute best feats (Level 6) have been covered/animated as of 2024, right? Someone might have to dig deep into the novels to get them.
