My Debate for Toramaru~

Element

Tora is Wood elemented, which beats Minamisawa's Wind element. This gives him a major advantage in all fields.

CS Stats

Toramaru has a higher GP, Technique, Speed, Stamina and Lucky stat, and their Kick is equal. GP is obviously very imoprtant, while all of Toramaru's higher stats are needed by a forward. Block, Catch etc aren't really that important for a forward. Even though Minamisawa's higher Dribbling stat might give him an advantage, In Adult form, Toramaru's Kick and Dribbling are both higher than his.

In a Face-off

(1) If Toramaru has the ball - He has many dribble hissatsu which he can use to easily pass Minamisawa.

(2) If Minamisawa has the ball - He might use Claymore, but Toramaru's Neo Raimon form has Sigma Zone, which can beat Claymore.

Hissatsu

Minamisawa has Sonic Shot, Eternal Blizzard, Wolf Legend, and Panther Blizzard for shoot hissatsu. Though these may be strong, they can't beat the vast moveset of Tormaru's different forms. He has Tiger Drive, Gladius Arch, RC Shoot, Rocket Head, Ballista Shot and Ouja no Kiba. In addition to this, Toramaru also has combination hissatsu such as Grand Fire, Jet Stream, Tiger Storm and Fire Tornado DD.

Minamisawa has only Claymore, while Toramaru has Hitori One-Two, Dual Pass, Zeroyon, Claymore, Trick Ball and Linear Drive. He wins again.

Toramaru also has Sigma Zone for a defense hissatsu.

Keshin

Minamisawa has no Keshin (accordin to the Wiki), so I'll not compare this field, even thouhg Toramaru has 2 very strong Keshin, one of which is level 3.

Mixi-Max

Toramaru doesn't have any best match (according to the wiki).

Hissatsu Tactics

Minamisawa has one hissatsi tactic, Tactics Cycle. This is a strong tactic, but Endou and even Kirino figured out how to beat it very soon. Kirino, with the help of Kariya, easily broke it without any hissatsu tactic of their own.

Toramaru has 2 tactics. Route of Sky is a very strong tactic. It involves not letting the ball even touch the ground so that the opponent cannot get the ball. It was able to break through a very strong tactic, Perfect Zone Press. In addition, techiniques like Senpuujin can be used in between to maintain posession. It was only broken by Little Gigants.

The second one, Dual Typhoon, is again an offensive one. The sheer force of the typhoon is able to blow back players.

Not really going into this too much, I simply state that Tora has 2 tactics, while Minawisama has only one.

Anime

Minamisawa had a very rude type of personality. It was also revealed that he didn't really join soccer for fun, or to revolt against the fifth sector's. He just joined to increase his grades. He didn't even care for his team. He even leaves the team, without caring for anyone, especially Kurama who was very surprised. He even joins another team. In the match against raimon, his first Sonic Shot is easily stopped by Fance of Gaia, the 2nd one breaks through with the help of a cyclone. This might make hims seem smart, but for me, this just shows his weakness and him not having much power of his own.

Toramaru played a very major role in IE. He was selected to be one of Japan's reps, even though he was very young. He even helps his sick mother with the restaurant, even though this takes up a lot of his time, he doesn't let this interfere with his soccer practice. He stopped scoring goals, but even that was for his teammates, so that they accept him. Everything he did was for his teammates. After he got over his problem with Gouenji and Endou's help, he became one of Raimon's strongest strikers, his Tiger Storm was never stopped. Later, after Endou and the other's graduated, he became Raimon's Ace Striker.

There, done.
