You are assuming the Hinezumi has more DE, I'm assuming they're equal. But based on what you said, it's impossible for eother of them to win an even fight because their DE would stop any attack of equal power. So J can say that

1) You are changing variables to suit you. Specifically the amount of DE as I have said that for the sake of an accurate and unbiased analysis all variable aside from the ones that make them seperate species should be equal.

2) Your perception of the mechanics of Demonic Energy are inherently flawed since the outcome of a fight is entirely dependant on it. A fight with both fighters with an equal amount of DE would always end in a draw regardless of any physical ability or advantage, things like claws, scales, fangs, fur and what not are completely pointless and the mamono might as well not even have them. Yes DE plays a role but it isn't the only thing that decides a fight.

Also, If you intend to rupture the flesh on the otherside of the armor or scales you must generate a larger amount of force than is required to rupture the flesh that is at the point impact to compensate for the kinetic force lost when traveling through the scales. In other words in order to rupture the flesh and break the bone beneath the scales the Hinezumi must strike with enough force to shatter her own bones and rupture the flesh in her hand. In order to splatter the Salamanders insides the Hinezumi would have to splatter her own hand.

I'm going to have to say that how we view the mechanics on which DE works do not coincide. You put everything in DE, I take other things into account. We wil simply have to agree to disagree and let others form their own opinion. I will say that I don't think any of the mechanics you have described about DE is canon as I don't think KC had went nearly into the detail you have. If I remember right all he said about the subject is that DE makes monsters to strong for normal humans to defeat.
