My debate for Fran: 1/ Stat: 

Unfortunately, Kinako’s stats are quite overwhelming here, with higher GP, TP, Technique, Block, Stamina and Luck (Catch is not needed), so I don’t really have many things to say about this section. I can only point out that Fran has got a higher Kick (154), higher Dribbling (123) and especially a much higher Speed (140). These stats are needed for a Libero just like Block and Technique do, so they’ll definitely have some great helps for Fran.

2/ Hissatsu: 

Yakimochi Screw is weaker than Floral Despair despite having a higher TP consumption, even with the help of the STAB boost. It may be a Long Shoot, but Kinako’s lower Kick stat will surely make it easier for the Defenders and the Keeper to stop it. Also, both Magical Flower and Air Bullet are stronger than Mochi Mochi Kinako Mochi, and Air Bullet deals a greater Keshin damage, too. This will surely make up for Fran’s lower Block.

Finally, while Kinako has a Dribble hissatsu, Fran’s got Recovery, a very useful skill which can helps her recover from the duels faster and functioning on the field better. So, while Kinako’s moveset favors her shooting abilities, Fran’s moveset has better Blocking hissatsu and a useful skill as well.

3/ Keshin:

Hee hee, looks like Fran owns this section without a doubt. Her Keshin surpasses Kinako’s Keshin in every aspects, from KP, Attack Power to Hissatsu. Even if Fran’s Block is lower, her stronger Keshin and Block hissatsu can still help her steal the ball back from the opponents easier than Kinako does. As for the skills, well, they have different kinds of effect, and both of them seems to be as useful as each other, so I guess they’re even.

4/ Mixi Max:

In contrast with the Hissatsu section, both Kinako’s and Fran’s Mixi Maxes favor the aspects that they’ve already good at. While Kinako’s MM boost her Technique and her Blocking abilities up greatly, Fran’s MM further strengthen her shooting ability with Chaos Meteor. This hissatsu has a much higher Shibire damage than Fire Tornado TC’s, and it has already evolved to Gx, which means that its power will become equal to, or even higher than Fire Tornado TC. Also, Kinako’s Kirakira Illusion maybe stronger than Air Bullet, but it is not a Shoot Block hissatsu like Air Bullet, thus come in a disadvantage. And finally, Fran’s MM has TP Plus 30 which will make her TP almost equal with Kinako’s TP (the difference is only 4 TP).

5/ Direct Duel: With their great block hissatsu, Kinako and Fran will mostly steal the ball back from each other easily each time they have a duel. However, Fran has the upper hand when it comes to Keshin Battles. Her Keshin can beat Kinako’s Keshin easily even without using Mystic Thorn; whereas for Kinako, she can only steal the ball back from Fran if she uses Kourin no Ya, and this will surely affect its lasting time. Thus, Fran has a higher chance in winning duels against Kinako.

In conclusion, Fran is a better Libero than Kinako with some better stats, better Blocking hissastu, a stronger Keshin, and a MM which helps her gain a superb shooting ability.
