Counter argument, questions, whatever. Mostly directed at the arguments of Taki-tan mostly about experience. Not gonna deal with technicalities and details due to their complexity that seems to continue piling up.


 * Sanuye was someone who already began her training at the age of five and spent rigorous hours of training per day

No matter how long Sanuye has been training and fighting, Egil's twice longer. Both fighters are talented yet the mastery of those talents, like studying your opponents, strongly depends on how long the fighters had been honing them.


 * Egil may have faced people like Sanuye plenty more times, but she in return understands how Egil's kind works too

Obviously, Egil has a lot of engagements with those younger than him since he's an instructor. However, the statement above seemed to disregard that Egil has been fighting “his own kind” and those more experienced than him. Yes, Sanuye have encountered a lot of people like Egil but it comes into this: how long? We can't tackle the ‘how many' question since this'll turn into an auction.


 * With all the training and situations she's been exposed from such a young age, it wouldn't be wrong to say that she can equally match and combat with Egil's mental and cognitional capabilities. She can understand just as fast as Egil.

Multiply Sanuye's number of training and situations by two, that's Egil. Sanuye's 20, Egil's 40(+1).


 * However, Sanuye doesn't need an extra decade or two of knowledge to equal or beat Egil, she simply needs the specific information to fight him. The information needed to understand Egil is knowledge that can be gained at a young age as well, not just when you're old.

Egil can also get information about Sanuye.


 * Your semblance won't be as effective if she can cancel out Egil's control.

If Sanuye can cancel out Egil's Semblance, does it mean that Egil's control over his Semblance is on the same level as Sanuye's? And why?


 * When she joined her group, she was given apprenticeship with their former leader, an elder who is older and probably more experienced than Egil. Under her instructor's tutelage, they are what molded her into the best and leader she is, further explaining her high level and capability against Egil.

Again, given Egil's experience, best bet is that he'd faced many people who are more older and experienced than him.


 * It also doesn't matter if Egil has more options. Quality over quantity. If my few options can effectively handle your many numbered options, it doesn't matter if you have more ideas.

Last. It seems like Egil is put into the category of Jack of All Trades in this statement. The fact that he has mastery of Dust manipulation, his options are already broad here because there are 4 basic elements of Dust, adding to that mixture of Dusts like Gravity. To extent, the question seems to, well, question the quality of Egil's mastery of Dust manipulation.

Also, given Egil's broad options, it's only a matter of narrowing down to specific options that can deal efficiently and effectively against Sanuye. Like if Egil has 10 options and Sanuye has 9 options and they have to eliminate the useless options for quality options, just guess who has the most number of quality options in order to eliminate the other. If fighter #1 is left with 2 options while the the #2 is left with 4, what chance does the #1's two options stands against #2's four options? Factoring in level of two fighters, Egil takes the crown.
