A/N: There has been an update on the Triads' assault rifles as from movies and other forms of media I've seen they are mostly using the Chinese version of the Russian AK-47 so therefore it will replace the QBZ-95 as their long range weapon as I doubt they would use it in real life. Dialogue between the two in the final fight will be in English because screw finding translations for Cantonese and Japanese, they're never really that accurate anyway.

WHO IS DEADLIEST?
To find out, we've assembled a team of world class fighters to test history's most lethal weapons. Using 21st century science, we'll see what happens when two warriors go toe to toe.
No rules. No safety. No mercy. It's a duel to the death to decide who is...THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR!
Last time both gangs emerged victorious in a difficult and harsh turf war against equally vicious gangs...

The panel of DeadAliveManiac, Zivon96, MKDemiGodzilla-Warrior, Its Rice Man and Metal Harbinger stand around the table that had the weapons of each warrior laid out neatly on it. They all look at each other with huge smirks on their faces and they were nodding at each other. Metal then walks over to the computer to get the program set up.
''Here it is gents, the deadliest crime group portion of the modern bracket and this is a match that was made in heaven.'' DAM started off.
''That's an understatement, this is the greatest match up between criminals ever! We're having the Triads, Hong Kong's notorious underground society going up against Japan's version of the mafia, the Yakuza.'' Zivon seconded.
''This is the best match we have so far and this is definitely going to get super violent and bloody considering who's facing off today. I can't tell who is going to win in the end because this is how close it is!" Demigod added.
''Two of the world's most vicious criminal organizations who can be calm and collected businessmen but if you crossed them the wrong way they could be downright vicious. The Triads have defeated the Sicilian mafia in their original fight but can they top the Yakuza who bested the likes of the kkangpae and the Russian mafia? Let's see if the Yakuza maintain their dominant position so let's start reviewing those weapons!'' Its Rice Man concluded.
The Chinese mobsters bring with them a high-tech and robust arsenal that allowed them to exert their power.
Melee: Butterfly Swords
Short Range: QSZ-92
Mid-Range: JS 9 mm
Long Range: Type 56 Assault Rifle
Explosive: Car Bomb
In turn, the charismatic Japanese crime lords fight off all rival gangs with a very balanced and high-powered arsenal.
Melee: Sai
Short Range: IMI Desert Eagle
Mid-Range: Minebea PM-9
Long Range: Howa Type 89
Explosive: Satchel Charge
For melee weapons, both these criminal enterprises brought very traditional weapons that when used properly will leave you a bloodied mess on the floor.
The panel now reviews the testing of the butterfly swords and sai from their previous appearances and they find themselves debating among each other.
''I think we're gonna have to call this one a tie since they both function exactly the same. One can slice and stab while the other can disarm and poke you full of holes.'' DAM started off.
''I have to agree all the way. The Triads and Yakuza members are known to be vicious and deadly when using these two weapons and are well versed in their use.'' Zivon seconded.
''They have members who are also trained in martial arts and judging from how these weapons have performed before there's no doubt in my mind they will perform equally well so I'm calling it even.'' Demigod added.
''These two organizations have lots of members who are trained well with these weapons and the martial they incorporate into them makes them even in my mind.'' Rice Man concluded.
In melee weapons, the edge is even.
For short range weapons, these two criminal groups brought with them two pistols of different calibers to get the job done.
The panel now reviews the testing of both weapons in their original appearances before they finally come to their decision so, let's see what they say.
''I think I'll give this one to the Deagle due to its more powerful round. Despite the greater recoil I simply can't ignore the amount of damage the .50 AE does to you.'' DAM started off.
''I find myself disagreeing with you and call this even. Both weapons have their advantages with the Deagle being more powerful and the QSZ having more bullets and less recoil.'' Zivon countered.
''I find myself agreeing with Zivon and call this even, he literally explained it all in one mouthful.'' Demigod seconded.
''For real, the Deagle just needs one shot to take you out but the recoil kicks worse than the kool-aid man breaking through a wall. The QSZ is more controlled and will have better follow up shots. Even all de way.'' Rice Man concluded.
In short range weapons, our warriors are even.
For mid-range weapons, both groups came armed with some of the deadliest submachine guns made available to them. The Triad used the JS 9 mm and the Yakuza bring in the Minebea PM-9.
The panel now reviews the testing of both weapons in their original fights before they decide the edge.
''For me, I think I'll go with the Triad on this one. The JS has more rounds, more range and the suppressor is a huge plus.'' DAM started off.
''I agree with you there. The PM-9 has the faster fire rate but the added suppressor of the JS wins it big time.'' Zivon seconded.
''Definitely, this gives the Triad a huge edge and they can keep the Yakuza guessing.'' Demigod added.
''I find myself agreeing with you all. The PM-9 is going to blow through more ammo and while it's good to send lots of bullets are your enemy, having more rounds and a suppressor gives the Triad the edge.'' Rice Man concluded.
In mid-range weapons, the edge goes to the Triads for their JS 9 mm.
For long range weapons, both groups brought with them rifles that allowed them to kill their enemies with accuracy, reliability and power. For the Triad they bring in a Chinese version of the famous Soviet AK-47 and the Yakuza bring in the standard battle rifle of the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Forces.
The team now reviews the testing of both the Type 56 assault rifle and the Howa Type 89 in their debut episodes and discuss among themselves before they decide on an edge.
''Both weapons have their pros and form what I can see no noticeable cons. The Type 56 fires a larger caliber but has a slower rate of fire whereas the Howa has a faster rate of fire so for that I think I'll go even on this one.'' DAM started off.
''You know me, I'm gonna go with the more rugged rifle here so I'm siding with the Type 56 on this one.'' Zivon said.
''It really depends on the guy using it honestly so I'll have to call even here.'' Demigod added.
''One has a slower rate of fire, is very rugged and reliable. The other is very accurate and has more base range so I'm calling it even too.'' Rice Man concluded.
In long range weapons, both groups are even.
And finally, for explosive weapons both groups used to stationary explosives to blow all their competition back to kingdom come. For the Triad they used the basic but powerful car bomb and the Yakuza used the satchel charge.
The team now reviews the testing of both explosives and it doesn't take very long for them to come to a final decision.
''The car bomb may be more powerful but the Yakuza don't have to worry about being stationary to use their bomb. They have the option of either setting it down somewhere and wait for you to come or toss it and then detonate it. Edge Yakuza.'' DAM started off.
''Agreed, though the car bomb can be remotely detonated those are rarities as it is more common for the victim to turn the keys and then they go boom. Yakuza takes it.'' Zivon seconded.
''The Yakuza also have a more potent explosive compared to the overkill that is the car bomb so they have to take this edge.'' Demigod added.
''More controlled explosive, secondary option to be tossed and then detonated gives the Yakuza an explosive edge.'' Rice Man concluded.
For explosive weapons, the edge goes to the Yakuza for their satchel charge.
Coming up, Metal Harbinger reviews the x-factors and then our battle of the deadliest crime groups begins!

Welcome back to the Fight Club, here we reviewed the weapons used by East Asia's most notorious criminal organizations to determine who is deadliest.
For melee weapons, the butterfly swords and sai were deemed equals.
''They can be used to disarm and when that happens they'll slash and stab you to death.'' DAM explained.
Edge: Even
For short range weapons, the QSZ-92 and IMI Desert Eagle were deemed equally effective.
''One has less recoil but the other is more powerful, whoever gets the first hit gets the first kill.'' Zivon explained.
Edge: Even
For mid-range weapons, the JS 9 mm outshot and outperformed the Minebea PM-9.
''More rounds, more range, added suppressor gives it a huge edge.'' Demigod explained.
Edge: Triads
For long range weapons, both the Type 56 assault rifle and Howa Type 89 were deemed to be equally effective.
''One is more powerful and rugged whereas the other is accurate and as a faster rate of fire so it's even here.'' Rice Man explained.
Edge: Even
And finally, for explosive weapons the satchel charge proved more practical than the car bomb.
''More controlled explosion and can be thrown and detonated gives the satchel charge the edge.'' DAM explained.
Edge: Yakuza
And now, our resident metalhead Metal Harbinger will review the x-factors.
''Let's get this started boys.'' Metal said.
''For training both the Triads and Yakuza had a 79 each.''
''For brutality both have been known to torture and maim their rivals so they have a 90.''
''For logistics this went to the Yakuza with an 81 to the Triads 80.''
''For influence the Triad will rate even with the Yakuza since they both have a huge global presence. 92 each.''
''For discipline both had an 89, they teach their members to conduct themselves accordingly unless violence is needed.''
''And finally, for killer instinct I rated them both a 90 since they are reasonable businessmen who can turn into heartless and vicious murderers.''
Our panel has now finished reviewing the weapons and x-factors and will now input the data into the simulator. The battle will pit 5 Triad hitmen against 5 Yakuza gangsters.
Who will win this battle of East Asia's most notorious criminal groups?

-Port of Los Angeles-
In a quiet and secluded warehouse within the limits of the Port of Los Angeles we see a lone black Toyota Camry parked on the sidewalk outside of the building and some commotion can be heard inside the warehouse.
The view switches to the interior of the warehouse and inside stood five men, some wearing business suits while a few were wearing casual clothes. These men were five members of the local Yakuza gang.
Yakuza: 5
It has been over a few years now since they've fought multiple turf wars with the local Russian and Korean crime families and eventually they came out on top and now control organized crime in the entire region of Southern California. However, this did not go unnoticed by the Triads based in San Francisco up north and not wanting a powerful new competitor the two sides have agreed to a deal since an incident resulted in money and guns being stolen from both sides.
''The Chinese are no upstarts in crime so we need to be careful with this deal.'' said one of the Yakuza gangsters.
The group's ringleader was seen taking a puff from his cigarette and reassured his colleague of the situation.
''Seiji just relax, men everything will be fine.''
That statement held some truth but in case things went south the Japanese mobsters had a satchel charge ready against a crate nearby. Their little talk was interrupted when they saw lights coming from outside and a car coming to a stop. They hear the doors open and several footsteps approaching the opposite door and soon enough it opened.
Five Chinese men from the Triads in San Francisco entered the building and much like them a few wore business suits while some had casual clothes on.
Triads: 5
The two sides walked from their side of the building and rendezvous in the middle under the single light that hung from the ceiling.
''Do you have the money?'' asked the Triad ringleader.
The Yakuza ringleader nodded and motioned for one of his men to hand over the briefcase to a Triad. The Triad opens the briefcase to reveal several hundred thousands of dollars in cash and the lead Triad smiled in satisfaction.
''And what about you? Do you have our guns that you stole?'' asked the Yakuza leader.
Much like the Japanese the Triad leader motions for one of his men to bring up the duffel bags they carried and gave it to the Yakuza. One of the Japanese mobsters opens the bags and finds it filled with Howa rifles, a Desert Eagle, some sai and a Minebea PM-9.
''Alright, this deal is done. Remember to abide by the terms set by our bosses, the Triad controls Northern California and the Yakuza control the South and we will stay within our territory if you do the same.'' said the Yakuza ringleader.
Just as they take their weapons and leave the Triads noticed something was off about the dollar bills. The faces of the Presidents flaked off and the texture was not that of a real dollar bill. Feeling the anger building in him the Triad ringleader said nothing and motioned for one of his men to take his QSZ-92 and open fire.
The Triad that was ordered reached for his pistol tucked into his cargo pants and aimed at the Yakuza and fired off a round hitting one of the Japanese mobsters right in the back of the head killing him instantly which sends blood and brain spraying toward his colleagues.
Yakuza: 4 - Triads: 5
''What the fuck?!'' the Yakuza leader shouted in confusion.
Without saying another word the Yakuza leader ordered his men to fire back. His remaining men reached into the duffel bags and grabbed a weapon and opened fire on the Chinese gangsters. One of the Yakuza who grabbed a PM-9 went fully auto on the Triads and struck the Triad with the QSZ multiple times in the chest dropping him in a pool of his own blood.
Yakuza: 4 - Triads: 4
Seeing that particular Yakuza way out of his cover one of the Triads whips out his Type 56 and fires a short burst and manages to hit the Yakuza member several times in his chest sending him dead to the floor.
Yakuza: 3 - Triads: 4
The Triads lay down suppressive fire and the surviving Yakuza had to put their heads down and hide behind cover unable to do anything against the barrage of rounds pummeling them.
''We need to warn the oyabun! You! We'll cover you and you head back to the car and drive back to warn the oyabun of a new war coming our way.'' ordered the lead Yakuza.
Nodding, the Yakuza gangster waits for his comrades to open fire on the Triad and it would be the ringleader who took the satchel charge they had in standby and tosses it at the Chinese gangsters. Seeing the explosive coming the Triad leader ordered his men to make a break for scatter and they all do so but one wasn't fast enough and the satchel charge blows up in his face vaporizing him.
Yakuza: 3 - Triads: 3
With this chance the Yakuza gangster makes a break for the door and runs toward the parked Toyota outside and just as he takes the keys and puts it in the ignition the car explodes violently killing him instantly.
Yakuza: 2 - Triads: 3
Hearing the explosion outside the last two Yakuza knew what happened and can only come to the realization that they'd have to take these Triads out right now if they were to even get word to their oyabun. Looking in the direction the Triads ran the Yakuza ringleader motions for his last man to chase the Triads together and decided to split up to hunt the Chinese down.
With a Desert Eagle and a pair of sai on his person the Yakuza leader went one way while his colleague went the other armed with a Howa and sai of his own. Heading into the upper portion of the warehouse the Yakuza gangster makes his way into a small hallway and caught a glimpse of the door at the opposite end of it shutting slightly. Knowing it had to be a Triad the gangster aims his Howa and fires several rounds through the door before shooting the knob off. He runs up to the door and kicks it open only to be greeted by the Triad ringleader who wrestles the Howa away and tosses to the ground.
Even though he was disarmed the Yakuza gangster whips his sai out and goes for several stabs only to be greeted by the Triad ringleader blocking it with a butterfly sword. He quickly reaches for his second and uses it to try and disembowel the Yakuza but the latter headbutts him which allows space to form between them. As the Yakuza gangster rushes his position with his sai the Triad leader was saved when one of his colleagues entered the room with a JS 9 mm and kills the Japanese mobster with a suppressed burst through his back sending the body tumbling forward before slumping against a wall face first.
Yakuza: 1 - Triads: 3
Nodding to his subordinate they leave the room to look for their last colleague.
Elsewhere in the warehouse the Yakuza leader was seen sneaking through a room full of crates on one of the upper levels of the building with his sai in hand and hears a noise coming from above. He looks up and sees several smaller sized crate falling downward and manages to dash out of the way. He then hears a yelling and looks up to see a Triad plunging toward him and delivers a hard punch to the temple causing him to drop his sai in the process. The Triad tries to slice the Yakuza leader with his butterfly swords only for the Yakuza leader to kick him back sending him back first into a nearby pipe.
Without mercy the Yakuza leader scoops his sai up and tosses one into the Triad's stomach making him cry out in pain. He ends the man's life by taking his second sai and jams it hard into his neck and silences him.
Yakuza: 1 - Triads: 2
Taking his sai out of the Chinese gangster's body he smirks before making his way out of the room to search for more of his prey.
Their search of the building came up short and now we see the remaining two Triads in the room where the battle started. Currently they were gathering the weapons off their dead comrade and the dead Yakuza gangsters before bailing to warn their Dragonhead of the upcoming conflict with the Yakuza. Out of nowhere a shot rang out and the second Triad drops to the ground with a gaping hole in his chest where his heart would be.
Yakuza: 1 - Triads: 1
The sudden noise caught the surviving Triad leader by surprise and faces the direction from where the shot came from to see the Yakuza ringleader holding a Howa wielded by one of his fallen men.
''You gonna shoot me you little bitch?'' the Triad asked mockingly.
''No, we're gonna settle this like we got a pair of testicles.'' replied the Yakuza leader.
The Yakuza leader puts the Howa on the floor and draws his sai which prompts the Triad to do the same and he draws his butterfly swords and both men slowly walk toward each other and stare each other down for a good minute before they both slowly bow to each other in respect. Now the real battle had begun as they each held their weapons defensively in front of them and began to circle each other slowly.
It would be the Triad who feigned an attack and he was glad the Yakuza leader reacted defensively and took the chance to lunge forward with a sword. The Yakuza leader however manages to respond to the attack and uses one of the prongs to catch the blade and twists his sai to send the blade flying out of the Triad's hand.
Without hesitation the Triad uses his now free hand and manages to grab both the Yakuza leader's wrists and holds him in place and goes in for a slash. The butterfly sword slicing a massive gash across the Japanese gangster's face making him grunt in pain.
He then delivers a hard punch to the eye before he headbutts his wounded opponent sending him stumbling backward clutching his now bleeding face and he takes the chance to scoop up his sword and charges the wounded Yakuza leader. Despite the pain he was in the Yakuza leader recovers just in time and sidesteps the charge and takes the opportunity to stab a sai into his opponent's side making him gasp in pain. Fighting through the pain the Triad swings one of his swords downward and yielded positive results when he slices the Japanese man across his right eye blinding him for good.
Shouting in pain the Yakuza leader fought through the feeling and repeatedly stabs the Triad in the side sending blood spilling onto the floor. The Triad screams in pain and was left defenseless as he was continually stabbed into before being shoved to the ground dropping his swords in the process. Not wanting to give up he weakly reaches for the QSZ under his top only for the Yakuza leader to stab both his hands into place like a human pin cushion.
With the Triad now at his mercy the Yakuza leader takes out his Desert Eagle and points it at the Chinese gangster.
''You were good, but not good enough to kill me.''
The Yakuza leader then empties all 7 rounds of .50 Action Express bullets into the Triad's chest.
Yakuza: 1 - Triads: 0
With his opponent dead the badly beaten Japanese mobster takes out a cigarette, lights it and takes a few puffs in silent victory.

Following the conclusion of the most stressful and closest battle so far in back for blood it would be the Yakuza who scraped up a victory. They won with 50.1% compared to the Triads 49.9%, a difference of just 0.1%. It was thanks to their more powerful pistol and more potent and maneuverable satchel charge that allowed them to stay just ahead of their Chinese counterparts. The Triads made it a hard fought win with their robust Type 56 and JS 9 mm suppressed submachine gun.
''This is the best fight so far in back for blood and it doesn't surprise me too since we are talking about organized crime groups. The Yakuza just barely even won and if we run the simulator again maybe the Triads would win that time. Super intense and close fight!'' DAM explained.
''Wow! This was an amazing battle. These two were literally neck and neck throughout the fights and really could've gone either way. This honestly could have been our first tie. Fucking epic.'' Zivon commented excitedly.
''Huh, I thought the Triad might have pulled off a win, but the fact that it was this close makes me happy because it shows how even both groups were. Congrats to the Yakuza for another win.'' Demigod said with a nod.
''The Yakuza won again, don't know if I should be surprised or not but damn. They bested the Kkangpae, the fucking Russian bratva and now the Triads?! I guess it makes sense since the Triad operates with a looser structure while the Yakuza is close knit and very, VERY organized. Looks like the criminals of the Rising Sun are the kings of the underworld.'' Rice Man concluded.
(After tending to his injuries the surviving Yakuza gangster was seen sitting in the driver seat of the van the Triads arrived in with all the weapons used in the fight loaded in the back. The suitcase with the now revealed counterfeit money among his possessions. He then drives off back to Little Tokyo to warn his oyabun of the upcoming war with the Triads and to bring word that the money given to them by both a local biker gang and a drug cartel was fake. After dealing with the Triads whoever gave them the fake money will face the Yakuza's wrath as well.)
