Battle START!!! 1/ Stat:

Amagi may has a higher GP, but Kazemaru has a higher TP in response. And then, from Dribbling, Block, Technique to Speed, these are the 4 most important stats for a DF, and Kazemaru owns them all: Therefore, Kazemaru's overall stats not only help him being better at blocking alone but also in many other important aspects that strongly affect his position as well. Amagi only has a better endurance ability thanks to his GP and Stamina, and his higher Luck only makes him rely more on bare luck, which is not enough.
 * A much higher Dribbling which helps him get away from the opponent's FWs easily and lessen the dangerous threats which occur pretty often in front of the goal;
 * A higher Block which helps him fortify his ability as a DF. This is the most essential.
 * A much higher Technique which helps him control the ball better and also strenghthen his hissatsu's Powers more effectively than Amagi's.
 * A much higher Speed which not only helps him cover up for his teamate in a shorter amount of time but also makes him safer from FWs and can even join the offense with ease.

2/ Hissatsu:

From the overal look, Kazemaru's moveset have a variety of hissatsu types comparing to Amagi's. He has a skill, 2 OF hissatsu and a DF hissatsu while Amagi only has a skill and 3 DF hissatsu. With this Kazemaru can fucntion well in both stealing the ball back and dribbling past the opponent. Now, we'll look into the details: Therefore, Kazemaru's hissatsu set is more helpful and well-equiped than Amagi's.
 * Skill: Unfortunately, Power Block is no doubt better than Ikemen Up!, so Amagi gets a point here.
 * DF hissatsu: Even though Amagi has more DF hisasstu than Kazemaru does, his strongest hissastu Atlantis Wall is still just on the same level with Kazemaru's one and only DF hissatsu, Air Bullet. Both of them are Shoot Blockers, have the same powers, and both of them receive the STAB boost from their users, so they're mostly equal here. It's true that Amagi's variety of DF hissatsu may help him managing his TP consumption, but this won't be of any problem for Kazemaru since his TP is longer than that of Amagi's. He is free to use Air Bullet 4 times and still has enough TP for a Shippuu Dash, whereas for Amagi, using 4 Atlantis Wall and he's out of TP.
 * OF Hissatsu: This is where Kazemaru has the upper hand. As I stated up there in the Stat section, dribbling past the opponentis just as impotant to a DF as blocking the ball. Even if you're able to steal the ball back, things will just be the same if you can't get away from the opponent's FWs and MFs. Kazemaru has 2 Dribbling hissatsu, and with his higher Dribbling, Shippuu Dash will be more than enough for him to get past the opponent and secure the ball.

3/ Keshin:

Draw, since neither of them has Keshins.

4/ Mixi Max:

Amagi has 2 best Match MM, but both of them don't have anything to do with his DF position at all. They'll just boosting up his Kick/Dribbling and Technique, and won't be much of help for his blocking ability. On the other hand, Kazemaru has 4 Best Match MM, and 2 of them are MM with defenders: Kabeyama and Kirino. With them he will gain a 100% Block and Technique/ Luck boost, which will not only help him become a formidable DF but also surpass Amagi in the chances of successing in battle, now that his Luck has become much higher. In short, Kazemaru's Mixi Maxes are much more useful than Amagi's.

Final: Blocking potential: Okay, now this is interesting. Amagi, by his natural potential, may got a higher Blocking stat then Kazemaru does. However, we must NOT forget about Kazemaru's two mixi maxes with Kirino and Kabeyama. Both of these Mixi Maxes strenghthen up Kazemaru's Block stat with a 100% boost, with this he will possess a monstrous Block stat that Amagi could never dream of. Even if Amagi has the advantage at first, Kazemaru is still able to surpass him with his handy Mixi Maxes.
 * Amagi: Block (146) + Technique -1 (111) + Freedom value (95) = 352
 * Kazemaru: Block (154) + Technique -1 (130) + Freedom value (56) = 340

In conclusion: Kazemaru is a better Defender than Amagi thanks to his better Stats, a well-equipped hissatsu set, and most of all 2 much more useful Mixi Maxes.
