Gendo Ikari vs David Xanatos

With the full backing of their organizations.

Gendo is widely considered a genius master manipulator, who controlled the events of Evangelion from the shadows. Can he beat the one known for his own TVTropes page, "The Xanatos Gambit"?

**** no.

Gendo Ikarai gets no respect from anyone. 🙁

It's more the man you put him up against.
