~ Ryūko to Ragyō in their final battle

Summary

Ryūko Matoi is the teenage main hero of Trigger Studios' 2013 anime, Kill la Kill. Six months before the beginning of the series, her father was murdered in front of her by a mysterious figure. Since then she has dedicated her life to a quest for vengeance against the killer. These travels lead her to Honnōji Academy, a hellish school where its absurdly powerful student council rules with an iron fist. Thinking that their president Satsuki Kiryūin may know who killed her father, she has many intense battles against her and the rest of the student council. But perhaps they are more on her side than she thinks.

After undergoing yet another power boost after Ragyo cut her in half, she became strong enough to hold off a bloodlusted Nui without even wearing Senketsu and severely wound Ragyo while wearing him after receiving a third power boost from Ragyo impaling her multiple times.) | Multi-Continent level (Blew a hole in the Cocoon Genesis Sphere and underwent multiple power boosts as a result of Ragyo thrashing her repeatedly to the point where she could match Shinra Koketsu's first form, forcing Ragyo to transform in order to continue overpowering her) | Country level (Destroyed S.S. Naked Sun, which penetrated and severely damaged Primordial Life Fiber to the point of almost killing it.)

Striking Strength: Large Building Class | Large Town Class | At least Large Town Class | Mountain Class | At least Mountain Class | Large Island Class | Multi-Continent Class | Country Class

Durability: Large Building level (Takaharu was physically incapable of harming her to the point where she didnt feel any of his punches and his strongest attack shattered on contact with her) | Large Town level (Took little damage from being rammed by Nonon's Symphony Regalia Presto, Took a barrage of attacks from Mako with the Fight Club Uniform with no serious injury) | At least Large Town level | Mountain level, Regeneration and Durability Boosts make her hard to kill | At least Mountain level (Tanked the destruction of Honnouji point blank range and underwent a power boost which made her more durable), Regeneration and Durability Boosts make her hard to kill | Large Island level, Regeneration and Durability Boosts make her hard to kill | Multi-Continent level (Withstood numerous attacks from bloodlusted Ragyo with second form Shinra Koketsu), Regeneration and Durability Boosts make her hard to kill | Country level (Got hit many times by Clone Satsuki without any damage), Regeneration and Durability Boosts make her hard to kill

Stamina: Average (Able to wear a Kamui, which is 100% Life Fibers, without any ill effects, when a normal person wearing clothing made of only 50% Life Fibers gets overwhelmed to the point of becoming a berserk monster. When Senketsu is active however she can only fight for ~half an hour before she passes out from blood loss) | Very High (Withstood a day-long beating in her base form from Mako. Fought all four of the Elite Four back to back without a break. Without Senketsu she crossed Japan in a day to collect all of his pieces, taking out all of Honnōji Academy's students in the process. Took down an entire army of COVERS singlehandedly without Senketsu. Able to shrug off injuries such as being bisected, being impaled, being torn to shreds, having her heart ripped out, losing several gallons of blood, and skinning herself alive [a feat which was marked as something that should have killed her as she snapped her own Life Fibers]. Shrugged off being impaled hundreds of times in her fight with Ragyo despite going through an extensive fight prior to it.)

Standard Equipment: Senketsu, Scissor Blade/Rending Scissors

Intelligence: Although she is brash, hot-blooded, and hard-headed, Ryūko possesses years of experience fighting foes of all kinds in both hand-to-hand combat and with her Scissor Blades. She is ingenious in battle, frequently using her opponent's weaknesses and specialties against them and even cutting herself in half in order to exploit her innate ability to become stronger as she approaches death. However, she is fiercely independent and often chooses to rely on her instincts rather than logic, recklessly charging in to defeat her opponent as soon as possible rather than study them first.

Weaknesses: Can only fight for a short time before she passes out from blood loss [Pre-Synchronization and Berserk Only]. She becomes more vulnerable to damage should her opponent manage to cut Senketsu's Banshi threads [This does not apply to EoS]. If any part of her body is cut from both sides simultaneously she cannot regenerate [This does not apply to Kisaragi].

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • Life Fiber Hybrid Physiology: Due to her body being infused with Life Fibers, Ryuko has a number of superhuman abilities, such as the ability to absorb Life Fibers into her body to make herself stronger and the ability to grow exponentially stronger every time she is brought close to death. Her most notable ability though is her regeneration. With this she is able to regenerate from extensive amounts of physical damage, up to and including bisection, being impaled hundreds of times, being torn to shreds, having her heart ripped out, losing several gallons of blood, and skinning herself alive, nigh instantly. This power does come with a weakness though, as if any part of her body is cut from both sides simultaneously, like scissors, she cannot regenerate. However, the cut itself must be extremely precise, as if even one minuscule scrap of skin or a single thread of Life Fiber is left uncut, her body will still regenerate.
  • Scissor Blade: Ryuko's signature weapon, a red, single-edged longsword resembling half of a giant pair of scissors. Originally designed by Ryuko's father, the Scissor Blade is made entirely of hardened Life Fibers, making it incredibly strong and durable, as well as one of the only weapons capable of cutting through Life Fibers. Ryuko is able to shrink the blade down to the size of a normal pair of scissors when not in use.
    • Decapitation Mode: The Scissor Blade's extended form, while using Life Fiber Synchronize, Ryuko can mechanically extend her Scissor Blade into a two-handed sword. Not only is the blade's length doubled in this form, but its strength increases exponentially and is able to slice far beyond its normal range. This ability is frequently used in preparation for a Fiber Lost.
      • Fiber Lost: A swift, precise forward sword thrust that Ryuko uses as a finishing move against an opponent with a Goku Uniform. This move allows Ryuko to destroy the Goku Uniform while leaving the Banshi Thread in tact so she can absorb it.
    • Rending Scissors: When the Scissor Blades are used together, they are able to sever Life Fibers as well as prevent their regeneration, as shown by Nui's loss of her eye and arms (done by Isshin/Sōichirō and Ryūko respectively). In this form, they retain their ability to extend their blades, forming a pincer-like weapon called "Dual Decapitation Mode." Even though the Rending Scissors need to be used together to activate this effect, they do not need to be combined together to use this effect, meaning that it can have the same effect even when it is divided into two halves.
      • Final Address Mode: One of the Scissor Blade's final transformations, which grows to a massive size twice as large as the multi-city block sized S.S. Naked Sun)
        • Decommission Mode: An even larger form that becomes so huge it completely dwarfs Honnouji Academy and S.S. Naked Sun.
  • Kamui Senketsu: Senketsu is a Kamui, clothing made entirely out of Life Fibers, created by Isshin Matoi specifically for his daughter Ryuko by infusing him with her DNA. With Senketsu Ryuko gains a significant boost to her overall power, speed, and durability and gains access to a number of abilities.
    • Absorption: In addition to the standard abilities of Life Fiber clothing, Senketsu has the ability to absorb the Life Fibers of defeated Goku Uniforms and Kamui, increasing his power. In addition, Senketsu possesses more than one Banshi, which may be a side-effect of his absorption ability.
    • Evolution: Senketsu possesses the ability to evolve himself in the middle of combat, allowing him to transform at a moment's notice in order to counter various, unpredictable circumstances. With this he has gained the ability to do things such as grow spikes from his body to protect from whips, gain the ability to fly in order to combat flight users, and create forcefields.
    • Life Fibers Synchronize: By absorbing Ryuko's blood, Senketsu is able to transform into his active state, increasing Ryuko's stats significantly. Initially Senketsu needed to constantly absorb Ryuko's blood due to her embarrassment at her appearance, but after she comes to terms with it the blood drain is minimized, reaching the point where Senketsu can function nearly indefinitely from just the small amount of blood taken during his transformation. In addition, despite being very skimpy in appearance, his appearance is meant to minimize skin contact with Ryuko so as to not overwhelm her body with his Life Fibers.
      • Senketsu Senjin: In this form, Senketsu protrudes blades from all over his body which can be used as revolving saw blades. This form also gives Ryuko access to retractable claws and the ability to turn Senketsu's sleeves into swords. Senketsu is able to integrate parts of this into his base mode, giving Ryuko access to claws without fully transforming into Senjin.
      • Senketsu Shippu: Senketsu's flying form, in which the bottom part of the uniform becomes a jet propulsion, and the crest becomes wings.
        • Senjin Shippu: A combination of Senketsu Senjin and Senketsu Shippu, this form combines the blades of Senketsu Senjin and the jet propulsion of Senketsu Shippu to create a hybrid form with boosted offensive capabilities.
      • Senketsu Mubyōshi: A defensive ability that simultaneously creates a barrier to guard against attacks as well as redirect and cancel out sound waves.
      • Berserker Mode: A rage state caused by Ryuko becoming especially hot-blooded from anger, causing herself and Senketsu to mutate into a giant berserker form. Despite increasing her strength, this form takes away Ryūko's conscious control of her actions and makes her almost mindless. Ryuko, however, has since learned to control her rage to prevent herself from falling into this state again.
    • True Life Fiber Synchronize: After Ryuko invaded the Great Culture and Sports Festival and fights Nui once more, her original Life Fiber Synchronize evolved thanks to her own self-improvement and she becomes completely one with Senketsu. In this state, Senketsu glows with intense power and they reach levels of strength and speed that easily overpower Nui Harime.
    • Senketsu Kisaragi: Senketsu's ultimate transformation, achieved by absorbing the remaining Life Fibers from the Goku Uniforms of the entirety of the Honnōji Academy student body, including those of the Elite 4 and Junketsu. This form drastically increases Ryuko's stats as well as increasing the potency of all of her other previous abilities.
