Justice shall be swift and pure! - Prelude

Red: If you thought that women in anime were nothing but damsels in distress, we're here to prove to you exactly why you're wrong.

Tony: Women can be cute, hot, and badass at the same time! Like Asuna Yuuki, the fastest player in SAO, and 'wife' of Kirito.

Nepgear: And Orie Valadier, the Fifth Executioner of the Licht Kreis.

Tony: We're Red, Nepgear, and of course, I'm Tony!

Red: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win-

All: A DEATH BATTLE!!!

                                                                               *Transition*

Asuna



Red: Sword Art Online. The most anticipated VRMMOJRPG to ever be released on the NerveGear system.

Tony: In normal speech please?

Nepgear: It's a Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Japanese Role-Playing Game, Created by Akihiko Kayaba. And was so popular that people were literally in lines just to buy a copy.

Tony: Oh. Well one of these players eager to play was Kouichirou Yuuki. Yuuki was one of the 10,000 lucky players to get a copy of Sword Art Online. However, he was called away on a business trip before he got the chance to play it for the launch date.

Red: But if you read the interlude of this prelude, you'd know that this isn't about him. Thanks to said business trip, his younger sister, Asuna Yuuki, asked him if she could borrow his NerveGear for the day so that she could check the game out, having never played one before. And oh boy, what a game to start out with.

Nepgear: I'm afraid so, see, when Asuna logged into the game, she, along with the other poor 10,000 players, became trapped in the game with no hope of escape, because if you died in the game, you die in real life.

Tony: Imagine Nightmare on Elm Street, but more virtual, and with 10,000 other people with you. Shit, lady fate is a cruel one...

Red: Understandably scared with the thought of being killed, Asuna initially hid herself away to stay safe on the lower floors like many other players as players with more skill, experience or higher levels began to clear more floors to attempt to escape.

Tony: However, after two straight weeks of hiding, she finally decided to man up, and did what any JRPG player does best. Farm EXP to her hearts content until she was ready to join the other players in the ultimate quest of escaping, Sword Art Online.

Nepgear: And then after that had to escape several more MMOJRPGs similar to SAO. And seeing as another season of the series is coming, is probably going to have to escape that one too.

Feats:
-Assisted in clearing SAO
-Saved Kirito from Kuradeel
-Became vice commander of the Knight of Blood, the strongest guild in SAO
-Assisted in disbanding the Laughing Coffin guild
--A strong assassin's guild in SAO full of skilled murderers
-The chosen girl in the Kirito harem
-Assisted the Sleeping Knights in defeating the boss of the 27th Floor of New Aincrad, the Four-Armed Giant
--Helped the names of the Sleeping Knights as well as her own get engraved on the Monument of Swordsmen
---According to the monument, she also helped defeat the boss on the 29th Floor alongside the Sleeping Knights

Red: Seriously? You'd think that after the first or second time, they'd steer clear of these types of games. Guess not.

Nepgear: To be fair, there were still 300 SAO players who were trapped in another game called Alfheim Online.

Red: Still...

Tony: Well, during her time in SAO, Asuna managed to do some impressive stuff, like becoming the vice commander of the strongest guild in SAO, the Knight of Blood. 

Nepgear: She's saved Kirito from Kuradeel, Assisted the Sleeping Knights in defeating the boss of the 27th Floor of New Aincrad, same with the 29th Floor's own, and... Is the C-chosen girl in K-k-kirito's H-harem...

Red: Jokes of the never ending Kirito harem in the series, she's also assisted Kirito in clearing SAO, which is a pretty impressive feat, considering how long they've been in the game.

Tony: Not only that, but she's skilled enough to help in disbanding a guild known as the Laughing Coffin, a guild that's literally made up of skilled murderers. 

Physicality:
Strength:
-Overpowered Kuradeel
-Can damage and harm bosses and high ranking players
-Once launched Kirito several feet after an accidental boob-grab
-Helped take on several members of Laughing Coffin
--Who were a guild specifically made up of assassins and murderers

Speed and Reflexes:
-The fastest player in SAO
--Outranking even Kirito
-Can appear strike faster than the eye can track, appearing as invisible
-Is faster than Kirito who can block many bullets in GGO
--Should be noted that Kirito was technically reacting to the laser 'Bullet Paths' and avoiding them before the bullets were shot
---Still bloody fast. Just sayin' is all.

Durability:
-Survived blows from deadly foes
-Took on several large boss monsters in SAO, ALO and New Aincrad
-Should be able to tank similar strikes to Kirito
-Tanked hits from Yuuki

Tony: Damn, now that's impressive! But none of this could be possible without some speed, durability, and strength feats to back it up. And luckily for Asuna, she's got 'em! She's overpowered Kuradeel, strong enough to damage bosses and high ranking players, and launched Kirito several feet in the air after an accidental boob-grab. 

Nepgear: She's also pretty fast as well. In fact, she's the fastest player in all of SAO, that include's Kirito, who was able to block bullets in GGO. Although, that was technically because he reacted to the laser 'Bullet Paths', and avoiding them before they were shot. Which just seems like a terrible system to have in a FPS type of game like GGO...

Red: Well, she is faster than the eye can track, appearing as if she were invisible. But even without speed, she's pretty damn tough. She's taken on several large bosses in SAO, ALO, and New Aincrad, tanked hits from Yuuki- And if you make that joke Tony, I will hurt you.

Tony: Didn't you do that already in episode three? 

Nepgear: Wait, what happened in episode three?

Sword Skills:

Red: You don't wanna know. Anyway, over her time in SAO, Asuna has learned some pretty neat skills and powers. She's honed her skills with her Rapier, Lambient Light. In which she's mastered it to it's fullest potential, as well as her... Cooking skills?

Tony: Nice! Not only is she a badass with a sword, she can also cook up some delicious food! Just my kind of girl.

Nepgear: She's not just bound to her sword either, as she has plenty of power-ups at her disposal. She can run up walls, recover her health with Battle Healing, create a tornado of ice, breathe underwater, constrict opponents with Aqua Bind, and even revive people from the dead! But, she can't really use it here as it can only revive other players, and not herself.

Tony: Not only that, this girl can freaking fly too! Though, one hand is required to steer it, and it can only go on for 10 minutes at a time.

Red: But when that doesn't work, Asuna has several sword skills for her to use anytime she wants. Such as Star Splash, a high level 8-hit combo, or Flashing Penetrator-

Tony: Totally not a move she used on Kirito when they were in that cabin once. *wink* *wink*

Red:...As I was saying, Flashing Penetrator is a high-powered charging attack that creates a large gust of wind to send people flying, regardless if the strike itself hits.

Nepgear: But all that pales in comparison to her most devastating attack, Mother's Rosario, a high-speed 11-hit attack that will put you down faster than you can say, "Oh no!".

Tony: Asuna is one tough Dame, but she's sure as hell isn't invincible.


Weaknesses:
-Can be hotheaded
-Limited Mana
-Limited flight and requires one hand to manoeuvre
-Must say aloud an incantation before performing any spell
--They must remember the incantation and more difficult spells have longer incantations

Red: See, while Asuna's magic is powerful, it requires Mana in order to use, should she run out of Mana, it can be a big problem considering who she's facing against.

Nepgear: Not only that, but she must say the incantation of a spell aloud before using it, this can give the opponent time to dodge or block, and the most powerful spells have longer incantations that must be remembered.

Tony: Also, she's pretty hotheaded at times, and has lost to other opponents because of it. 

Red: Nevertheless, Asuna has proved herself as one of the best players of Sword Art Online and is quite the person to face in a duel. Not bad, until she gets captured by Sugou.

Tony & Nepgear: DUDE!!!

Red: Ah, shut up.

("I cried alone every single night. It felt like every day that passed here stole another piece of my real life away. After I cried, I'd go and fight as hard as I could. My only thought was winning, moving forward and getting stronger.")

                                                                             *Transition*


Name: Orie Ballardiae
Gender: Female
Birthday: October 7th
Height: 163 cm (5'4")
Weight: 105 Ibs
Bloodtype: A
Affiliations: Licht Kreis
Theme:


Red: The Hollow Night, a mysterious phenomenon that occurs every century, every time on the night of the full moon at a certain area. Those people who are within the area during the Hollow Night's appearance enter to the Void's realm. Normal people who end up getting caught in the Hollow Night usually become the Void's prey.

Tony: Yeesh, talk about a night to remember! Anyway, ten years prior to the events of Under Night IN-BIRTH, Orie Valadier watched as her parents were eaten alive by a mysterious Void that could communicate with human speech. 

Nepgear: Goodness, what an awful thing for a child to go through...

Red: It wasn't all bad though, as Orie was saved by a member of a Licht Kreis who brought her to their orphanage. There she learned all the basics about the things surrounding the Hollow Night. There she met her three best friends for life, Mika, Kaguya, and Lex.

Tony: Ever since then, Orie and her friends created an Execution Team together, and have been battling against Voids to make sure no one else has to suffer the same fate as they did. 

Nepgear: Everything was going normally for Orie, until she received a mission from Zenith to spy on an new, rising organization called Amnesia. It was there where Orie finally came face to face with Merkava.

Red: After finding the supposed killer of her parents, the two battled it out, until in the end, Orie came out victorious. But this still leaves some unanswered questions, was the same Void that killed Orie's parents? Was the Void she was looking for killed before the events of Under Night took place? Why the hell would Orie kill someone who probably wasn't even the killer in the first place!?

Nepgear: Well, to be fair, Merkava is the only Void that is able to talk in the game, and the Void that killed Orie's parents did have the ability to speak. So the possibility of it being him were staggeringly high, so there is the possibility that it was him all along.

Tony: HA! Suck it, BMHKain! Orie did nothing wrong!

Nepgear: Tony, was that really necessary?

Tony: Oh you have no idea how necessary it was for me to say that.

Feats:
- Defeated Byakuya, who was stated to be one of the strongest 'In-Birth's' in the game
- Defeated Paradox
- Killed Merkava after he killed and ate Paradox/a.k.a. Hilda
- Gained the rank of Fifth Executioner in the Licht Kreis
- Trained by the Licht Kreis
- Defeated Hyde in combat

Red: Making jokes about other fights aside, Orie has plenty of feats that prove that she's more than worthy of being part of the Licht Kreis. She's defeated Paradox, taken on Hyde in combat and won, was so skilled in her work that she gained the rank of Fifth Executioner of the Litch Kreis.

Nepgear: She's even defeated Byakuya, who is the strongest 'In-Birth' in the game. And that's not a joke either, seeing as he effortlessly defeated other strong 'In-Birth's' in his storyline. But her most impressive feat, is when she finally defeated Merkava, who not only had his own powerful strength by his side, he had Hilda's own power as well.

Tony: Yeah, see after Orie defeated Hilda, Merkava just kinda walked on in, and killed her. But not only did he kill her, he ate her as well. And Hilda had some pretty strong power with her, as she was this close to becoming a 'Re-Birth', which is pretty much God-tier in the game from what I've heard.

Weapons & Equipment

The Ruler a.k.a. Guardian of Light, and Order
   - A Rapier that allows Orie to perform swift strikes at her opponent
       - This also allows her the ability to kill Voids, who are said to be Immortal


The EXS of Purity, "Thanatos"
   - A knight in which Orie can summon at will
       - This can also give her longer range in her attacks
           - As well as giving her the ability too use her more devastating combos

Abilities

Force Function

Aerial Leap
   - Orie shouts "Evasion!" before jumping over the opponent and landing behind them
       - Pretty useful for evading big attacks

Sure Killing-Arts

Divine Thrust
   - A strong forward thrust which stabs the opponent before they fly to the side of the screen


Sacred Arrow
   - A multi-hitting Dragon-punch type move where Orie uses her Rapier to lift up the opponent into the air before dropping back to the ground then following up with the same attack but this time jumping higher into the air, then allowing her opponent to fall back to the ground.


Command Order [Oblique's Edge]
   - Orie summons Tanatos to swing it's huge sword, A version is a wide sweeping-turn swing pointed downward, while the B version is an overhead slam


Thick and Fast
   - A follow-up to Command Order, Tanatos does two horizontal spinning slashes with its sword


Succession
   - A secondary follow-up to Command Order, Tanatos does a upward swing-slash which raises the opponent airborne, but blows back fairly far if it connects at midscreen


Sealing Hoplon
   - Summons Tanatos as it forms a light-sphere aura around itself


Sacred Spire
   - EX only move that uses 100% meter. Pretty much a combination of Dash C and EX Sacred Arrow where Orie does instead two different animations of Sacred Arrow during the end of the move (final version is a vertically-straight rise)

Defensive & Offensive

Veil Off
   - When any character from UNIB has 100 EXS, they can activate this state which on activation, causes a small burst of energy to explode outward from their body, blowing the opponent to the side of the screen.
       - In this state, it is possible for the character to combo EX moves with Infinite Worth moves.


Shield
   - A more powerful form of guarding, where a blue shield materializes in front of the character to block off attacks.

Infinite Worth

Luminous Embrace
   - Orie summons Tanatos, gesturing it with a kneeling sword-plant to make it perform a downward slash that causes a wave of ground-splitting light to move forward

Infinite Worth EXS

Rest in Peace
   - Orie summons Tanatos to unleash a blast of light at the opponent's position. The opponent is lifted and immobilized on a cross made of light as Tanatos stabs them with its sword as Orie yells out the technique's name, an explosion of light then emerges out of the opponent, covering the screen

Red: Well, Orie has the weapons and skills to preform such feats as well. She goes into battle with her Rapier, The Ruler a.k.a. Guardian of Light and Order.

Tony: That is probably the most badass name for a Rapier, that I have ever heard. *notices something behind Orie* Wait, what the hell is- IS THAT A STAND!?

Red: Wha- Oh, no. That's actually The EXS of Purity, "Thanatos", a knight in which Orie can summon at will for longer and more devastating attacks. Such as the chain combo, Command Order, Thick and Fast, and Succession. A chain combo which demoralizes the opponent with strong, fast attacks with it's Broadsword.

Tony: She can use her Force Function, which... Makes her jump behind the... Opponent. Well, lest she looks classy while doing it.  But it's not light she relies on Thanatos to do all the work, she has moves such as Divine Thrust, Sacred Arrow, and Sacred Spire, an attack where Orie dashes towards the opponent while stabbing them multiple times before performing Sacred Arrow, launching them into the air, but then she does it again, only higher! Damn, that's gotta be at least 20 feet into the air! That's some strength.

Nepgear: But when things get serious, Orie has special skills & techniques for battle, she can materialize a shield out of thin air to block attacks, something she can preform in mid-air as well. But when she has enough type of energy, Orie enters a state such as Veil Off, in this state, Orie can perform as many combos as they wish, and on activation, blows the opponent to the side of the screen. Yet, she has another move she can perform as well, her Infinite Worth, Luminous Embrace.

Red: With this attack, Orie summons Thanatos, gesturing it to perform a downward strike that unleashes a ground-splitting wave of light to move towards the opponent.

Tony: But her Infinite Worth EXS makes all of that look like child's play, Rest in Peace!

 Red: Orie can end a fight within the blink of an eye in this attack, she summons Thanatos to unleash a blast of light on the opponent, causing the screen to go white before revealing that the opponent is immobilized on a literal cross made of light! Thanatos then stabs the opponent with it's sword before Orie shouts the attacks name as an explosion of light emerges out of the opponent covering the entire screen.

Nepgear: Seems like a little over-kill don't you think?

Intelligence
- Smart enough to be able to rise to the rank of 'Fifth Executioner' in the Licht Kreis
- Can play the part of being a regular classmate in the school in which Hyde attends, and still be able to keep a look out for suspicious activities done by the group known as Amnesia
      - All without being caught as a spy
- Despite her extreme loyalty to the Licht Kreis, she knows of the very questionable activities they have done, and has sometimes handled things onto her own accord, and has came back successful in doing so

Personality

- Orie is shown to be a kind-hearted young woman with a strong sense of justice
- As shown many times throughout the game, is extremely loyal to the Licht Kreis
- Fights to uphold peace and order in the world along with her other Licht Kreis members
- However, while Orie doesn't doubt the intentions of the organization, she can't help but feel that Licht Kreis may not be as noble as she believed due to the extremely questionable actions of some of her fellow members - particularly Erika Wagner.

Strength
Should be around Town Level
- Can injure and kill Merkava
- Pretty much curb-stomped Hilda near the end of her storyline
- Can damage and defeat Vatista, a robot designed to kill other 'In-Birth's' like Orie as well as Voids
- Can lift up people like Waldstein in the air with seemingly no trouble
- Her knight Tanatos/Thanatos can swing it's sword hard enough to create a pillar of light that devastates an entire arena

Speed
Should be Massively Hypersonic+
Possibly FTL
- Can keep up with someone like Seth, who moves at such a high speeds that light stops dead in it's tracks
- Has reacted to, and outpaced Merkava
- Could somewhat keep up with Linne, someone who is faster than Seth
- Kept in-pace with Hyde, who was trained by Linne

Durability
As with her strength, should be around Town Level
- Can survive being near Linne's God Mower
- Can take attacks from Merkava
- Can last a good while against superior foes such as Vatista, and Linne
- Can take hits from the Indulgence of Sever-Rending

Tony: It's not like she could really help it, she's pretty freaking strong too! She's absolutely curb-stomped Hilda, injured and killed Merkava, and damaged a robot named Vatista, a robot that was designed to kill other 'In-Birth's' like Orie.

Red: And she's got the speed to back it up too. She's kept in pace with Hyde, reacted to and outpaced Merkava, and was even able to react to Seth, someone who moves so fast that light itself stops dead in it's tracks! And the same goes for her durability too.

Tony: Damn straight! She can survive hit's from superior foes such as Vatista, and Linne, survive being near Linne's God Mower which calls upon a pillar of magma to erupt from the ground, and even take hits from the Indulgence of Sever-Rending, which is said to erase someone's Physical existence! Shit, that's one tough woman right there!

Nepgear: Sadly, she has her own weaknesses.

Weaknesses

- Has some troubling amount of self-doubt
- While she does beat Hyde in her storyline, he stomps her in his own
- If the person is not her target or is not evil, tries her best to not kill them
       - Which can be a problem depending on who she's fighting
- While her durability is impressive, she has been beaten by other characters in the game
- Her strongest attacks mostly come from Thanatos
- Even though the 'Indulgence of Sever-Rendering' is said to destroy one's physical existence, at the end of each fight with Hyde in the game, the opponent is shown to be somewhat intact
- BMHKain really tries his best to make me hate cool characters like her for seemingly no reason

Nepgear: First off, she has a large amount of self-doubt, and this really shows after she kills Merkava. She wonders if it really was him that killed her parents 10 years ago, as well as when she questions the nobility of the Litch Kreis due to it's 'questionable' actions.

Tony: Yeah, and that whole 'Indulgence of Sever-Rending' destroying your physical thing, may not be as true as it says as (almost)every opponent that Hyde faces is usually still intact after each fight, even after he uses his strongest move too. Also, Thanatos is kinda needed to perform her more devastating attacks.

Red: But put all of that aside, and Orie is one of the most skilled, and dangerous opponents you could ever face. She is called the Fifth Executioner for a reason.

Tony: And by God, she'll look cute and classy as hell while doing it too!
