I'm afraid the Puchu would have to win.  I love Chuchu more than most anime mascot characters, but when it comes down to it, it's a numbers game.  It's a whole race of people coming for you.

Next up...



The manipulative and mysterious Souji Mikage vs.



The OCD Kira from Death Note, Teru Mikami?

Borrowing satyr's format, since it seems like it's tons of fun.

Johan Liebert
Good at: manipulation, apparently everything else
Weaknesses: mortal, wants to die, certain picture books
Special qualities: Is capable of impossible precognition, Can be easily revived if shot in the head, Good with kids

Ohtori Akio
Good at: manipulation, not calling in the morning, presumably all sword-related disciplines
Weaknesses: Arrogance, THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP, doesn't seem to want to get his hands dirty
Special qualities: Immortal(?), Manipulating Rose Bride powers for grand illusions, unstoppable in the sack

This one is hard.  When it comes down to it, these guys have puppet strings everywhere, so this fight isn't so much Akio vs Johan as it is army of adolescents vs army of murderers and ten year-olds.  The key players in this war are obviously Anthy, who might just be able to magic Franz Bonaparta's picture book where Johan least expects it, if such a location exists, and Doctor Tenma, who can seemingly revive Johan infinitely should he take a bullet to the head.  Ultimately, I can see these guys going at it for ages without ever accomplishing anything.  Sure Johan wants to die, but Tenma just can't let him, no matter how much he wants it.  Unfortunately, this is down to perseverance.  Since Ohtori Akio is supposedly immortal and has all the patience in the world, he wins by being cheap.  Though his army of sword-wielding adolescents will probably kick it in droves.  This isn't a numbers game.  Sorry kids.

NOTE: There is no mention of sex, since I'm almost certain Johan is asexual, and this will get Akio nowhere, if he can even track him down.  He might have some luck with Tenma, but that guy has enough problems.  If anything, it will protect him from the insane murderer army.

Kishimoto Kei, Gantz!

Tamago, I could be wrong, but I think the idea is that you have to answer the previous item before you post one of your own

Opps my bad!

Mph.  Sakura is a changing character.  She would mop the floor with Nanami later in the show, but you used a picture of her from the first arc.  So:

NANAMI KIRYUU
Strengths: accomplished schemer; keeps her flunkies in line; does not give up; dual-wields swords
Weaknesses: spoiled; insecure; embarrasses herself constantly; laugh arouses small dogs
Recent Opponents: Utena Tenjou (lost 0-2), Keiko Sonoda (lost 0-1), a large kitten (won 1-0)

SAKURA HARUNO (first arc)
Strengths: pure motives; accomplished chakraist; does not give up; can read ninja scrolls at rates exceeding 1000 words per minute
Weaknesses: fluorescent hair; inexperienced; freezes up under pressure (under pressure)
Recent Opponents: Haku (lost 0-1), Kakashi Hatake (lost 0-1), the love of Sasuke Uchiha (lost 0-100)

Nanami has lots of psychological weaknesses that her enemies can prey on, but Sakura doesn't really fight that way.  Sakura fights straight-up.  In theory she's very talented.  But a battle with Nanami isn't fought against theory, it's fought against two very fast swords that keep coming even after you think you've won.  At the time of the screencap, Sakura is kind of helpless in that situation.  Nanami would come at Sakura, and maybe Naruto or Kakashi would step in to save her, but then Tsuwabuki would draw them off, and I think Tsuwabuki can take both Naruto and Kakashi at once.  Then there is no one to save Sakura.  After the battle, Nanami realizes that in spite of the hair she was in fact dueling Sakura and not Utena, so the victory doesn't help her reclaim her brother, but by then it's too late.  Victory to NANAMI KIRYUU.

Next up:

Eikichi Onizuka, aka Great Teacher Onizuka...



...vs. Kozue Kaoru.

I would have to go with Juri and Shiori, merely because of the numbers game.  Regardless of Youmu's powers, two-on-one, especially with Juri's skills and her dogged determination to protect Shiori (regardless of what some might think) would overcome the half-phantom.


The Student Council: Touga, Juri, Miki and Saionji (no Chuchu, sorry)

vs.


The Corre: Ezekiel Jackson, Wade Barrett, Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel

Your skewered views and opinions on professional wrestling today as opposed to the 80's aside, I'd have to give this round to Anthy.  As much as I love Sailor Saturn (She is a former Extreme Bishoujo Wrestling HoJ Champion), on her own (without the Outer Senshi with her), she's rather insecure, and would easily fall prey not only to Anthy's generousity, but would easily collapse once Anthy twisted the knife in.

Let's have ourselves a Pier 6 Brawl, shall we?



The Black Rose Duelists (Souji Mikage, Kanae Ohtori, Kozue Kaoru, Shiori Takatsuki, Mitsuru Tsuwabuki, Wakaba Shinohara, Keiko Sonoda)

vs.


Zetsubou-Sensei's Class (Kafuka Fuura, Chiri Kitsu, Abiru Kobushi, Kiri Komori (squee), Matoi Tsunetsuki, Nami Hito, Harumi Fujiyoshi, Taro Maria Sekiutsu, Meru Otonashi, Kaere/Kaede Kimura)

Yes, the sides seem a little lopsided, but keep in mind it's a bunch of duelists with swoards against a bunch of... well... Zetsubou Sensei's screwed up students.  And while Mikage is there, Zetsubou-Sensei is not.  He's too busy trying to kill himself.  Again.

Batman vs. Akio.  On one side, the embittered and parentless shell of a human being.  On the other side, Batman.

Let's go best of five!  Who will win the deathmatch?

Better car.  Akio has a red convertible that can drive itself.  Batman's car can also drive itself, and is also a convertible in the sense that it can convert itself into a motorcycle.  The Batmobile therefore has all the powers of both the Akio car and the Utena car, plus rocket launchers.  Batman wins.

Better tragic backstory.  Akio used to be the archetype of a savior, but fell and became a debauched villain because of the jealous love of the one person he could not save.  One time Batman's parents died because of crime.  Akio wins.

Better sidekick.  Robin has a folding shield that can stop bullets and a particularly saucy uniform.  Anthy is Anthy.  Akio wins.

Better superpowers.  Batman does not actually have any superpowers, but he is an expert martial artist and has several gadgets, including a Bat-Grappling Hook and Bat-Shark Repellent.  (The latter is a bat-themed device for repelling sharks, not a device for repelling bat-sharks; this is Gotham Academy, not Avatar: The Last Airbender.)  Akio is immortal and has a planetarium, but the planetarium's superpower status is not quite clear.  Tough.  Call it a draw, unless sex appeal is a superpower, in which case, hurr.

More likely to actually kill his opponent in a deathmatch.  Um... well, there is that.

Akio wins.

What about Kaoru and his twin vs. Kaoru and his twin?
