To keep it short, I'm not gonna look at every last feat and analysis them. Instead, I'll focus on the ones that matter and specifically the match up here.

Gilad is much stronger and durable than Sato

I have to give you this. When it comes to physical strength, he has Sato himself beat. However, I would like to bring up that comparing strength adds next to nothing to this fight. It's not a boxing match and Sato is smart enough to realize where Gilad's weaknesses and strengths lie. Due to that he wouldn't allow himself to grappled or anything (he can always take of the limb and reset) and since regeneration is a thing, Gilad's higher strength will be next to a nonfactor.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. It doesn't matter if one's durability is higher than the other, it matters if their durability can take the other's output. I'm gonna look over the blunt force stuff, as it doesn't really matter to someone who uses blades and bullets. While you've shown Gilad taking bullets, I'd like everyone to look at these scans closely.

Not only do bullets knock him on his ass, they actively hurt him. These are handgun bullets to the chest. While he may be able to get up from that, Sato doesn't play as easily.

Clearly, Sato always aims for the head. So if a handgun bullet to the chest lays him flat, what do you think a shotgun blast to the face will do? He'd be done for.

More skilled and just as fast if not more

Let's talk about skill, shall we?

Gilad is admittedly more experienced, can't lie there. That's not to say Sato's 50+ years constantly fighting means nothing, though. What I'd like to bring up is how his age may actually be a hindrance to his skill.

It clears says here he has "forgotten more than most men will ever know." So it's a big question as to how often and how well Gilad can actually use all these various martial arts. Sato, on the otherhand, displays his combat prowess every time he's in the ring. It's always effective and fatal.

Furthermore, really?

Here he stomps dozens of Fitz clones in the short confined space of a train car. And each Fitz clone is an expert in every fighting style known to man.

The way you're putting this is kind of silly. You're making it sound as if he is fist fight/more skilled than these people. But look at the scans you showed. He's using guns and explosives to wipe them out. This hardly shows a thing about skill. If you gave me his pain tolerance, strength and weapons, I could have slaughtered a room full of skilled people too. Anyone could.

Okay, maybe that's a weeeee bit of an understatement. But still, this isn't nearly as impressive as you're making it out to be. This isn't showing that he is more skilled than people who know all martial arts, this is showing those people can't dodge bullets and are prone to fodder syndrome.

Now, you might be wanting to bring up Sato's gunslinging in combat and comparing, but if you look at the gifs and videos I provided in the intro you can very easily see that when Sato takes down incredibly high level fodder, he does it using sheer skill.

So while yes, where as Gilad has an edge in experience, I'd say Sato uses his raw skill in combat more often and overall has more impressive showings in the skill department.

As for speed, yea, they're about the same. They can both aim dodge/low level bullet time and blitz trained humans. No real advantage to either. I would just like to mention that while he can occasionally dodge bullets, your durability section shows that skilled marksman (Like Sato) can consistently tag Gilad with gunfire. Unlike Sato, however, he can actually be put down by a nice headshot.

His gear can can compete with Sato's especially his Revolvers

I mean, sure? But nothing here can actually put Sato down for good. He can shoot, slice, dice, and punch the Ajin all he wants, but it's not doing a thing against his immortality. Meanwhile, Sato's weaponry can hit Gilad just as consistently and do far more permanent damage.

So. While Gilad has an advantage in strength and durability over Sato, neither really matter due to Sato's weapons being able to keep Gilad down with a well placed head shot. Meanwhile, Sato's showings in skillful combat are generally more impressive (CQC with the best military force in the world>gunning down a room full of skilled clones.). In a fight between the two, Sato should come out on top a majority of the time. While they can both land blows on each other, Sato always strikes for lethal areas (head and heart) and is bound to get a stab or shot in after a couple moments of combat. On the otherhand, Gilad won't be able to keep Sato down due to his endless regeneration and slightly superior skill.

We're gonna do this one the same way we did the last.

Ninjak consistently dodging point gunfire even when in total darkness speaks volumes for his speed seeing as how he does it so casually usually with fair

As far as speed goes, his reaction speed is impressive. While Sato's initial assault may still cripple or kill Gilad, you've convinced me that Ninjak can deal with most long range assaults with guns. That being said you didn't show much for combat speed and he is capable of being tagged by guns and even relatively skilless foes, so it's not like Sato is outclassed.

Skill

And unlike other fitz clones Fitzy is a rouge clone who ran away and trained under the undead monk and upon returning home he proceeded to utter curb stomp 5 clones of himself

And remember each Fitz clone is an expert in every fighting style known to man yet Fitzy stomped five of them at once. What makes this more impressive is that all the clones were his exact physical equals being clones and all. Meaning Fitzy with no physical advantage stomps five clones with sheer skill and Ninjak goes and stalemates the guy.

Can you show me these clones that "have mastered every martial arts known to man" actually not being treated like fodder? I mean, I know the statement is there, but you think they'd act a little better than common street thugs in combat, right? Everytime you've mentioned it it's just them being stomped, lol. I feel like they should at least be putting up a fight if they were actually as skilled as they say.

Anyways, we don't actually see the fight between Fitzy and Ninjak, so it's really iffy to use this feat. It's said that they stalemated, but due to it not being shown we can't see who had the advantage or what tactics are used. I'm not saying it's entirely invalid, but it'd definitely a loose feat because of lack of details.

Better yet Ninjak goes ahead and slaughters over 30 students of the undead monk

And it was the undead monk training that allowed Fitzy to stomp his clones. Now obliviously these nameless students aren't as skilled at Fitzy but it goes to show that Undead Monk training>Mastering every martial art

Okay, but these are just students? Like, still in training? I'm not downplaying this feat, it's very cool, but saying it's better than mastering every martial art is a severe overstatement. As students, these guys shouldn't even be close to the level of training Fitzy received, so beating them-while a good feat-isn't as good as you're saying.

Also worth mentioning this isn't really a stomp. Ninjak was tagged multiple times by the fodder.

And in all its safe to say Ninjak has more versatility in gear than Sato

Sure, you have that one. However, not much of it is very relevant against Sato.

• Explosives, flamethrowers, and bonus spikes will simple reset the Ajin and be ignored. This is the guy who casually ran a plane into a building to make an entrance, then crawled out of the rubble laughing.
• Flashbangs, stun chemicals, and tasers are all things Sato is used to dealing with. It's not like Ninjak uses it normally anyways, plus Sato knows how to play around them. Even if something manages to stun him, he's shown he's can kill himself fast to reset poison or other disabilities.

So while Ninjak has more gear than Sato, it can all be countered.

Strength isn't an area Ninjak is absolutely crazy in but he is still a physically formidable foe

As for durability his armor is as being bullet proof

Once more, strength isn't all that important here. So I'll just hop over that unless it becomes relevant later on.

While the chest plate may be bullet proof, I'm severely doubting that the fabric covering the arms or knees is. Unless you can prove otherwise, I don't see why a close range shotgun wouldn't be able to blast away his legs. Even if you can, the face is still vulnerable. so he can still be brought down be gunfire.

I believe in a 1v1, Ninjak fares better against Sato alone than Gilad, I still see him losing alone in a straight fight. Skill is roughly equal (after debunking the monk stuff) and so are stats. While Ninjak has some useful gear, Sato's ingenuity and immortality overcomes it all. I see a fight between them going as a battle of attrition, with Ninjak slowly getting tagged more and more until he's injured enough for Sato to land a final blow. Unlike Sato, Ninjak won't come back.

The starting position plays greatly to my duo. The Eternal Warrior can confront Sato head on while Ninjak sneaks off for a stealth attack

You're welcome ;)

Now I'm not even gonna try to fight through the stealth argument. I'll just give it to you, Ninjak would be able to sneak up on Sato if all things went as planned. However, since you're sending the Not-So-Eternal Warrior out front, I doubt things are going as planned.

As Gilad makes his mad dash towards Sato to fight him head on, Sato will rain down bullets and grenades. You showed yourself that fair marksman such as Sato can tag Gilad with guns and because the Ajin always aims for lethal, I see no reason why he doesn't just get either headshot or crippled here. If he does somehow manage to close the distance and prove a threat to Sato, the Black Ghost will come out and impale him through the heart.

Since you're relying 100% on Ninjak's scanners to find the IMB, Gilad has no way to combat this. He'll die before he can touch Sato.

Upon watching his friend die, it's very likely Ninjak comes out of hiding himself. Either way, we'll move to counter measures.

But before that Gilad can engage in head to head combat against Sato drawing his attention away along with his black ghost. So far from what you've neither Sato nor his ghost can detect Ninjak as both their attention will be on Gilad. This leaves Sato open to being taken out by an unseen Ninjak. I know you've shown that it can operate even when Sato is unconscious but my team can survive a surprise attack from the ghost. In term in piercing damage Ninjak can tank its attacks with his armor seeing as how it can stand up to Roku's hair and Gilad can tank gunfire healing from it quickly letting him survive a sneak attack.

Gilad can't survive something stabbing through his brain/heart, at least not with what you've shown me so far. Considering a bullet to the head KOs him (counts as a wincon for this fight), the IMB taking a couple fingers through it will take him out for sure.

If either is attacked , at which point Ninjak can quickly cycle through his sensors to detect the black ghost and avoid its attacks. Of course they'd try to attack to but from what I've shown I'm sure they can unintentionally survive the time limit for Sato's ghost.

When they're attacked by the Black Ghost, Gilad for sure fall due to lack of awareness. Ninjak will most likely come out to help his companion and start cycling through his scanners, but honestly I don't see him being able to find it in the 1-2 seconds it'll take for the IMB to clear the distance and deliver a painful blow to Ninjak. While he can survive a couple hits, it'll be downhill from there. Sato will still be firing at him as he tries to detect and avoid the Black Ghost. Eventually, a fatal hit will land considering the sheer amount of threats he'll be dealing with.

While not incredibly mindblowing or anything, Sato is very clearly above even peak humans and can easily keep up with your team. Since it's not relevant, I won't really be covering strength or durability of Sato himself, but he can easily ragdoll fully armored men, as you'll probably see as we go on.

Speed

Sato's speed is a strong advantage of his character, being able to blitz highly trained humans and even other Ajin quite regularly.

Dodging darts fired from guns from an entire hallway full of soldiers while only inches away from his face.

Gallery

Able to react to a sneak attack from above by another Ajin, then sling him across the room.

Bullet timing automatic gunfire from behind.

And that'll be a good taste for now. Below we'll get to see his combat speed in the skill section and you can be even more wowed!

Skill

While he may not be a thousand year old warrior who's mastered everything ever, Sato is a damn good fighter. He has been in the military and fought in multiple wars, and was apart of the most elite team the US military had to offer, even before he knew he was an Ajin. After discovering he was immortal, he assembled a team of around 20 and went to war against the entire country of Japan and could have won if it weren't for his lust for combat. He is extremely practical and will use his immortality as a means to gain an advantage on his opponents. He's quite used to taking on the "best of the best" and still coming out on top, as you'll see.

He is flashbanged and in the dark and yet easily dispatches two SAT members in hand to hand combat. His impressive combat speed can be seen here.

In this clip, we can see him wiping out an entire squadron of 50 military soldiers. These weren't just any soldiers, however. They were handpicked to eliminate Ajin, the top of their classes in various military and police units all over Japan. The best of the best, but still solo'd by Sato.

His gunsmanship is also worth mentioning. He's able to gun down a squadron of Anti-Ajin while under fire from them.

And while there is plenty more, I believe consistently taking out entire squads of the best of the best in two separate countries allows him to compete with your team for now.

Immortality

There isn't too much to say here. Sato can, quite simply, not permanently be killed. While his regeneration isn't active, his body will completely reset whenever he would normally die. Limbs being chopped off will come back and he'll even consume his own regenerating organs in case of starvation. He's taken everything from repeated gunfire to the face to a hug from a grenade. And he does it all with a smile on his face.

In addition, he's extremely smart with his usage of his immortality. He knows he can be crippled and not killed, so he's always willing to kill himself when need be.

Gallery

He has also used his own blood as a weapon to distract and blind opponents.

While there are ways to overcome this, it's up to you to prove whether or not your duo can figure out these ways while in mid combat against a threat they've never seen before.

Now here is Sato's biggest advantage in this fight against your two. I'll let the in universe Ajin expert speak for what exactly a "Black Ghost" or IBM is.

Gallery

Basically, it's an independent spirit-like being that can be used by Ajin. It can be controlled directly or set to fight alone. It is naturally incredibly fast and strong and cannot be harmed by normal weaponry. In addition, it is completely invisible to the naked eye and is made of an unknown black matter. However, as a downside, it can only be summoned three to four times a day and goes away after five to six minutes.

To get a since of how strong Sato's in specific is, we can look at the ones around him that are confirmed as weaker.

While all black ghosts can slice through humans casually, Nagai's can rip out and throw street signs and Tanaka's can dodge gunfire (excuse the shrunken screen, but I couldn't find anything else.) Tanaka's and Izumi's were shown to be equal earlier in the series, aanddd Sato can take Izumi, Negai, and another Ajin at the same time.

So basically, that was a lot of scaling and me spending way too much time hunting down entire episodes to say Sato's Black Ghost can overpower and take punches from beings that can rip through metal and outspeed beings that dodge close range gunfire.

In addition to the impressive stats of his IBM, it also shares his great skill in combat and is shown having an advantage over Nagai's own ghost.

And for even more fun, it can come in fast enough to catch bullets and darts out of the air.

Gallery

As you can see, it can stop normal weaponry right in it's tracks.

And if all that wasn't enough, it can even fully function while Sato is unconscious!

This will just be a small section explaining the gear Sato is bringing to this fight.

Basically, in an average fight he has prepared for, Sato is armed with several guns, an armored vest with pouches for ammo, a blade, and his hat. Usually included is a shotgun, an assault rifle, and a handgun, all of which can be seen being used above.

For this fight specifically, he'll be bringing in his "Easy Mode" weapon, the Executioner. It is an airburst grenade launcher that uses laser technology to detonate the grenade above the target's head, therefor bypassing shields or cover. It is an impressive weapon that can bring down entire squads of soldiers with a blast.

And of course our boi knows how to use it.
