general media Best anime/manga character tournament!

[RAGESTAR 479]

As the title suggests, this is an anime/manga character tournament! I will list 12 anime/manga characters, and it will be up to you, the viewers, to decide who is the best! However, to avoid simple bias, there will be 3 challange catagories to vote for who's the best. The first will be a debate of who has a better personality or character style. The second will be who has the better character design, based on creativity and uniqueness. And third will be a simple question; who would win in a fight? For that catagory, however, there will be 2 rounds. Round one, will be the two characters in their base forms, so no transformations or powerups are allowed. Round two, will be the 2 characters in their strongest form.

 

 

Rule 1: no being biased. Give the other character a chance, be they your favorite or not. If another character is proven to be more powerful than another, then you cannot simply justify the losing sides victory with a simple "because".

 

Rule 2: give proof. If, during the battle round, you have an opinion of one character's power over another, but no one believes you, don't argue, just give proof. Show scans, post videos, give character quotes; anything but pointless arguing.

 

Rule 3: no arguing. You may debate, and you may defend a character, but please, do NOT start a pissing contest. Debate civilly, or this thread will get locked quite fast.

 

Rule 4: if you must post scans of a manga, and that scan contains spoilers, then please try to put in a spoiler box. Simple as that.

 

Rule 5: have fun debating! I'm making this thread for just that reason; fun! Debate, deny, and act like Pheonix Wright all you want, but remember; its just a thread.

1: Naruto Uzumaki vs Yusuke Urameshi

I'll add a pole later. Go nuts. :3

I don't really have any intention of participating in this but why does it have to be these specific characters? I can think of a bunch of characters that would be good debate cases outside of what's here.

 

Just curiosity about what qualifies these characters. Not trying to uproot your topic or anything.

Honestly? Its mostly because I was afraid of starting a shitstorm of "no MY obscure/stronger anime character is better, and should be the one who participates!!", lol.

 

So, I ended up choosing a mix of popular, powerful, weak, and obscure characters. Thats also why I made 2 challange catagories, other than fighting.

That's good thinking, actually. If you don't place limitations then someone could find some obscure character who is the equivalent to God who will beat everyone at everything. lol

Well, there are still gonna be some extremely powerful characters in there, to be honest, but in the other 2 rounds, it doesnt matter how strong someone is, so anyone could win.

The only two characters in your list that I know of are Ichigo Kurosaki and Ash Ketchum. That's why I'm pitting them against each other. Ichigo would quite literally and factually KILL Ash, and probably Pikachu as well. Ichigo is battle hardened, and willing to pit his life and soul to save others in a battle. Ash plays a kid's game with cute trained animals.

9: Maaka Alburn/Soul Evans vs Edward Elric

 

 

 

Haven't really watched Fullmetal Alchemist yet, but I'm still voting for Maaka. Shes. So. Bad. Ass.

 

 

Levi is and always will be the best anime character ever
