Prelude: Knives Millions vs Jin Kisaragi

Sibling rivalries can be some of the hardest things one can deal with. Whether it’s to gain the favor of your parents, get revenge on something the other’s done, or just to be a dick, there’s no denying that under the wrong circumstances, these fights can strain or even break a familial relationship to the point of no return. And while most rivalries involve the siblings attempting to outdo the other, these two have taken their obsessions a bit too far. Not only are they willing to kill their brothers to complete their goals, they also take this obsession to some rather... let’s just say disturbingly invasive levels.

Knives Millions, founder of the Gung-Ho Guns!

And Jin Kisaragi, the Hero of Ikaruga!

I'm Br3ndan5, and I'll be analyzing their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a DEATH BATTLE!

Born on one of the many ships dedicated to the space colonization program Project SEEDS alongside his brother Vash, Knives and his brother were actually part of a species known as Plants, living experiments created by humans in order to power and give life to whatever planet the SEEDS members chose to colonize. Vash and Knives were unique among the other Plants for two reasons: the first being that they were male while the other Plants were female, and the second was that they were able to live without the need of the special containers used by the other Plants.

Upon their birth, the two brothers were adopted by the female scientist Rem Saverem, who treated them kindly and taught them about the values of life. Her teachings led Knives to begin studying Earth's history and wonder if humanity would ever accept him and Vash as equals. Unfortunately, his curious attitude would eventually lead to him disobeying Rem's orders and convincing Vash to come with him and enter a part of the ship that she had previously told them was off-limits. Upon entering, the brothers found the decaying, mutilated remains of Tessla, another independent Plant that had been born before them. Near the Plant's corpse were files detailing what the crew members had done, which Knives read aloud.

As it turned out, the crew had experimented on her while she was still in the womb, repeatedly dissecting her and treating her as nothing less than an animal. Despite the crew members realizing how morally wrong it was to treat her like this, they were too late to change anything. Upon her birth, they discovered that their poor treatment had resulted in Tesla's body being covered in tumors. They tried to remove the tumors, but no matter what they did her condition continued declining until she had lost her hair, began giving off a foul odor, and fractured her thigh bone when she attempted to get up. After being alive for 229 days, Tesla suffered a seizure, and despite being given medication, her biological functions ceased working and she finally died.

Both brothers were horrified by this, though they showed it in different ways. Knives fell into a shock-induced coma, while Vash locked himself away and attempted to commit suicide by stabbing himself with a knife. Fortunately, Rem managed to intervene, though it resulted in Vash accidentally slicing her hand open, with the blood loss causing her to pass out. Horrified by what he’d done, Vash helped nurse her back to health, and while doing so, regained his trust in humanity after Rem revealed her own troubled past to him.

Unbeknownst to them, Knives, who had only recovered seconds after Rem revealed her past, began to feel that Plants and humanity could no longer coexist. Fearing that he, Vash, and their “sisters” would share Tesla’s fate, he began tampering with the ship’s controls, rerouting the entire fleet to crash onto the nearby planet Gunsmoke while also making sure that any ships containing the other Plants would survive. Upon discovering the rewritten circuitry, Rem sent her adoptive sons into an escape pod as she stayed onboard to try and correct it. To Knives’ dismay, she was able to do so, but it came at the cost of her life, much to Vash’s horror.

While on the pod, Knives revealed to Vash his involvement in the event, now known as the Big Fall, earning his brother’s anger. Despite their hostile attitudes toward each other, with nowhere else to go Vash was forced to tag along with Knives as they wandered Gunsmoke, occasionally watching the surviving humans build cities around the crashed ships. Eventually, Vash would end up getting captured in a small town, with Knives deciding to free him by murdering the entire population. Horrified by this, Vash wound up using a nearby gun to shoot Knives in the shoulder, with Knives retaliating by slicing off his left arm. The two brothers would then separate, with Vash choosing to wander the planet and unintentionally becoming a wanted criminal due to Knives' interference, while Knives began forming a group of criminals known as the Gung-Ho Guns, hoping he would be able to convince Vash to join his side through using the gang to show him the evil of humanity.

As an artificial child born and raised in his early childhood in an experimental facility, the life of the one known as Jin would be anything but normal. Whisked away from the laboratory along with two other children by the legendary warrior Jubei, Jin would then be raised alongside his siblings in a church tucked away in the woods, inhabited by a kind nun. From there, he would begin to experience a more normal childhood, until his sister Saya grew sick. His brother, Ragna, decided to tend to his sick sister, earning the jealousy of Jin. This, along with the properties of a mysterious sword that Saya gave him and the influence of an enigmatic man known as Yuuki Terumi, would be the primary driving force that would drive Jin to madness, aiding Terumi in burning down his childhood home, killing the nun that raised them, robbing Ragna of his arm, and taking away Saya. Terumi then took away the memories of this event, and the now-truly-orphaned Jin would soon be adopted into the highly-esteemed Kisaragi family, where he would then on be known as Jin Kisaragi.

With his new status in life, Jin joined in the Novus Orbis Librarium and quickly rose through its ranks, being showered with multiple honors and awards and eventually being hailed as a hero. However, Jin’s true desires and motives lay elsewhere—in his desire to reunite with his estranged brother, and kill him with his own two hands…
