Group B-1
D, Vampire Hunter D vs. Cobra, Space Adventure Cobra My vote: D Based on guide entries/comments. Group B-2 Kirika Yumura, Noir vs. Sesshomaru, Inuyasha franchise My vote: Kirika Yumura See above. I have seen a little Inuyasha, but not enough to really judge Sesshomaru properly. Group B-3 Captain Harlock, various (see Guide entry) vs. Gennosuke Kouga, Basilisk My vote: Captain Harlock Harlock's reputation proceeds him. Group B-4 Ginko, Mushi-Shi vs. Ami Kawashima, Toradora! My vote: Ginko Actually seen some of both series here, though I still need to finish Mushi-Shi. That said, even the limited bits I've seen of Ginko impress me more than Ami, who seems like something of a borderline inclusion in this tournament, though I won't deny she had some cool moments. Group B-5 Kisuke Urahara, Bleach vs. Toshio Oozaki, Shiki My vote: Kisuke Urahara Seen all of both series, not counting a handful of one-shot Bleach fillers I still need to watch. (Don't look at me so strangely... Bleach is a bizarre guilty pleasure of mine). I absolutely love Urahara. Whenever he shows up, he improves the episodes he's in. He's got a nice mix of both goofiness and creepiness, and the few times he gets serious he can be quite bad-ass. Group B-6 Balsa, Moribito – Guardian of the Spirit vs. Tomari Kurusu, Kashimashi ~ Girl Meets Girl ~ My vote: Balsa I love Balsa and Moribito. She's bad-ass, she's heroic, she's awesome. Group B-7 Gene Starwind, Outlaw Star vs. Kenshin, Ruroni Kenshin My vote: Gene Starwind Tough choice here. I haven't seen either series, and both have decent guide entires. I was all ready to vote for Kenshin based on past things I've heard about him, but some of the comments made me reconsider. In the end, I went with Gene, though it could have easily gone the other way. Group B-8 Oscar Francois de Jarjay, Rose of Versailles vs. Ken Washio the Eagle, Science Ninja Team Gatchaman My vote: Oscar Francois de Jarjay Guide/comments, plus I've heard a lot about her before and she sounds impressive. Group B-9 Lelouche Lamperouge Code Geass vs. Kyuzo, Ssamurai 7 My vote: Lelouch Lamperouge Lelouch is just so dawn entertaining to watch. He's over the top and nuts, but he can also be pretty awesome when he executes one of his plans. He's not always the nicest of guys: people will argue whether he ultimately is a hero, anti-hero, or villian, but regardless of what he ultimately is, he's got flair and enough "muhahaha" moments to go on this round I think. Group B-10 Lady Eboshi, Princess Mononoke vs. Sophie Forrester, Last Exile My vote: Lady Eboshi Hmm... both are fairly impressive from what I remember, though it's been a while since I've seen either anime. Perhaps it's just because she's a more major character (and thus can take center stage more often), but I remember being more impressed with Lady Eboshi overall. Group B-11 Char Aznable, Mobile Suit Gundam vs. Faye Valentine, Cowboy Bebop My vote: Char Aznable I was sure I was going to vote for Faye, but... well, I haven't seen very much of Mobile Suit Gundam, but Char did have some cool moments (though he's a complete &*&*, at least up to the point I've seen). Char's write-up is weak, but he's got some decent comments made in his support. It's a tough choice, and in the end I'm voting for Char in the assumption (hopefully an accurate one) that the moments of coolness or bad-ass-ness (is that a word?) he showed in the first half of Gundam are just the prelude to what happens later and in Zeta Gundam. Group B-12 Nana Osaki, NANA vs. Black, Tekkonkinkreet My vote: Nana Osaki Guide entries/comments are the reason once again. Group B-13 Sawa, Kite vs. Suzuka, Outlaw Star My vote: Sawa See above, though this was a harder choice. Group B-14 Revy, Black Lagoon vs. Maka Album, Soul Eater My vote: Revy Revy's reputation proceeds her, and Maka never struck me as that cool in Soul Eater. Especially not the anime adaption, which has some definite uncool moments from her. Group B-15 Master Asia/Tohofuhai Mobile Fighter G Gundam vs. Kenshiro, Fist of the North Star My vote: Kenshiro I was already going to vote for Kenshiro based on reputation alone, but Dorcus_Aurelia's hilarious comment about having heard him referred to as a "kung-fu Mad Max Jesus" made the decision even easier. Group B-16 Celty Sturluson, Durara!! vs. Amon, Witch Hunter Robin My vote: Celty Sturluson She may not be the greatest bad-ass alive, but she's no pushover, and she's got some amusing quirks that give her some general cool points as well. Probably my favorite character in Durarara, and that's saying something. |

Doesn't really matter since whoever wins most likely won't get by the woman from Moribito, but I can't follow this logic. Fine, he's a mix of both goofiness and creepiness (which is neither cool nor badass), and "the few times he gets serious" he can be "quite bad-ass". Never mind that most of the time people are just his puppets. Bad-asses don't need dollies to do what they have to. Even DerekTheRed's reasoning for this match was less superficial. You know that something is overrated when people think that knocking others with a cane is bad-ass. Where are the Gits characters when you need 'em. |

Let me clarify a bit. I think creepiness can be bad-ass and cool if done right. In the case of Urahara, I think it is. As for goofiness, I like characters who have many layers, and who oftentimes are more than they appear on the surface. Now it's true that none of the characters in Bleach are exactly that deep, but I like how when you first see Urahara, on the surface he appears to be this goofy, harmless guy, but as you see more of him, a handful of comments and facial expressions reveal that there's way more to him than that. I like how he hides his true nature. While using puppets to do your bidding may not be entirely bad-ass, it does fit the whole "magnificent bastard" trope. This is an overall coolness tournament, not just a bad-ass tournament. Urahara hasn't fought much in Bleach, hence why I mentioned the "few" times he gets serious. But that doesn't change the fact that he is bad-ass when he does fight. Anyways, as you yourself said, he's getting stomped by Balsa next round, but I really don't think my reasons are very superficial, at least not moreso than anyways reasons are for a tournament that tries to define something as vague as "coolness". |

I have a feeling that it is this group B I was talking about last week when I said I didn't know too many of the characters, but here it goes :p
Group B-1 D, Vampire Hunter D vs. Cobra, Space Adventure Cobra D Group B-2 Kirika Yumura, Noir vs. Sesshomaru, Inuyasha franchise Kirika Yumura Group B-3 Captain Harlock, various (see Guide entry) vs. Gennosuke Kouga, Basilisk Gennosuke Kouga Group B-4 Ginko, Mushi-Shi vs. Ami Kawashima, Toradora! Ginko I loved Toradora!, and I even think that Ami's character was pretty important to the show; however, I really couldn't stand her and wouldn't call her "cool" by any stretch of my definition. Group B-5 Kisuke Urahara, Bleach vs. Toshio Oozaki, Shiki Kisuke Urahara Call it what you will, I like Urahara at least in the early rounds. I would have to put him more as a cool character though; as bad-ass as he appears to be we never really see him fighting much. Group B-6 Balsa, Moribito – Guardian of the Spirit vs. Tomari Kurusu, Kashimashi ~ Girl Meets Girl ~ Balsa Group B-7 Gene Starwind, Outlaw Star vs. Kenshin, Ruroni Kenshin Kenshin Group B-8 Oscar Francois de Jarjay, Rose of Versailles vs. Ken Washio the Eagle, Science Ninja Team Gatchaman Ken Washio the Eagle Group B-9 Lelouche Lamperouge Code Geass vs. Kyuzo, Ssamurai 7 Lelouche Lamperouge Based on R2 I have a harder time making this choice, but I enjoyed his character too much overall to vote him down here. His cold calculating demeanor is enough to get past how crazy he goes later on. Group B-10 Lady Eboshi, Princess Mononoke vs. Sophie Forrester, Last Exile Sophie Forrester Loved Last Exile, and Sophie is definitely a reason why. Group B-11 Char Aznable, Mobile Suit Gundam vs. Faye Valentine, Cowboy Bebop Faye Valentine Group B-12 Nana Osaki, NANA vs. Black, Tekkonkinkreet Black Nana is a great character character from a great show, but I don't think she has quite what I'm looking for in this tournament. Group B-13 Sawa, Kite vs. Suzuka, Outlaw Star Suzuka Group B-14 Revy, Black Lagoon vs. Maka Album, Soul Eater Revy I suppose I've got to go with the bloodthirsty nutter here :p Group B-15 Master Asia/Tohofuhai Mobile Fighter G Gundam vs. Kenshiro, Fist of the North Star Kenshiro Group B-16 Celty Sturluson, Durara!! vs. Amon, Witch Hunter Robin Celty Sturluson |

I write up all my votes in Notepad first specifically because I'm afraid of doing something like this.
I lol'ed. Celty's angst is justified due to her head being stolen and lack of memories versus Amon's being just as angsty, but because he's full of antisocial bitterness. |

Group B-1
D, Vampire Hunter D vs. Cobra, Space Adventure Cobra My vote goes to: D. Group B-2 Kirika Yumura, Noir vs. Sesshomaru, Inuyasha franchise My vote goes to: Kirika Yumura. Group B-3 Captain Harlock, various (see Guide entry) vs. Gennosuke Kouga, Basilisk My vote goes to: Captain Harlock. Group B-4 Ginko, Mushi-Shi vs. Ami Kawashima, Toradora! My vote goes to: Ginko. Group B-5 Kisuke Urahara, Bleach vs. Toshio Oozaki, Shiki My vote goes to: Kisuke Urahara. Group B-6 Balsa, Moribito – Guardian of the Spirit vs. Tomari Kurusu, Kashimashi ~ Girl Meets Girl ~ My vote goes to: Balsa. Group B-7 Gene Starwind, Outlaw Star vs. Kenshin, Ruroni Kenshin This is a tough one for me since both series are among my favorites. But I have to give the vote for Gene. Why? My arguments include that Gene is a mere human compared to Kenshin's superhuman abilities and his Hitenmitsurugi-ryu swordsmanship style. Gene has survived many encounters where the opponents were way beyond him. Some include "Twilight" Suzuka and two members of the Anten Seven. He even holds his own against those with Tao magic with his bank account taking the brunt of the damage. Did I also forget to mention his duels with Harry MacDougall and Hazanko? The fact of the matter is that Gene takes on these challenges and still manages to come out alive somehow. His Caster Shells barely put him on an equal level since most Tao magic users he encounters outnumber his number of available Caster Shells. Most of the time, normal bullets are largely useless considering the kind of opponents that Gene faces. In some fights, all Gene had other than his guns were his wits and on-the-go tactics. As you can see, Gene lives all the way through the end of series more battle-hardened than he ever was. There is also the fact of how he got over his space phobia. What better way than by a Grappler Ship fight. Oh, and Gene had never been in space ship fight at that point. My vote goes to: Gene Starwind. Group B-8 Oscar Francois de Jarjay, Rose of Versailles vs. Ken Washio the Eagle, Science Ninja Team Gatchaman My vote goes to: Ken Washio the Eagle. Group B-9 Lelouch Lamperouge Code Geass vs. Kyuzo, Ssamurai 7 My vote goes to: Lelouch Lamperouge. Group B-10 Lady Eboshi, Princess Mononoke vs. Sophie Forrester, Last Exile My vote goes to: Sophie Forrester. Group B-11 Char Aznable, Mobile Suit Gundam vs. Faye Valentine, Cowboy Bebop My vote goes to: Char Aznable. Group B-12 Nana Osaki, NANA vs. Black, Tekkonkinkreet My vote goes to: Nana Osaki. Group B-13 Sawa, Kite vs. Suzuka, Outlaw Star My vote goes to: Suzuka. Group B-14 Revy, Black Lagoon vs. Maka Album, Soul Eater My vote goes to: Revy. Group B-15 Master Asia/Tohofuhai Mobile Fighter G Gundam vs. Kenshiro, Fist of the North Star Though I nominated the Undefeated of the East (Tohofuhai)/Master Asia, it saddens me that he ends up facing Kenshiro in the first round. How do you compete with a guy that says, "You're already dead" to people who are obviously going to die? Even the School of the Undefeated of the East's Ultimate Secret Technique could not overcome this challenge. My vote goes to: Kenshiro. Group B-16 Celty Sturluson, Durara!! vs. Amon, Witch Hunter Robin My vote goes to: Celty Sturluson. |

Which is what I'll continue doing with long posts, thanks. I still find it rather intriguing how I was able to delete the dialog box. Giving this another try, sorry for the minimalist comments. These votes are the same as what I would've posted last night, so as long as I'm not late, the end result is the same. Group B-1 D, Vampire Hunter D vs. Cobra, Space Adventure Cobra Pick: D Group B-2 Kirika Yumura, Noir vs. Sesshomaru, Inuyasha franchise Pick: Kirika Yumura Group B-3 Captain Harlock, various (see Guide entry) vs. Gennosuke Kouga, Basilisk Pick: Captain Harlock Group B-4 Ginko, Mushi-Shi vs. Ami Kawashima, Toradora! Pick: Ami Kawashima Group B-5 Kisuke Urahara, Bleach vs. Toshio Oozaki, Shiki Pick: Kisuke Urahara Group B-6 Balsa, Moribito – Guardian of the Spirit vs. Tomari Kurusu, Kashimashi ~ Girl Meets Girl ~ Pick: Tomari Kurusu - given it's overwhelmingly obvious who the winner will be, no matter who I vote for won't change it. So I'm going to vote for the one I like best (and who I still think is one of the coolest in this entire round). Group B-7 Gene Starwind, Outlaw Star vs. Kenshin, Ruroni Kenshin Pick: Kenshin Group B-8 Oscar Francois de Jarjay, Rose of Versailles vs. Ken Washio the Eagle, Science Ninja Team Gatchaman Pick: Oscar Francois de Jarjay Group B-9 Lelouche Lamperouge Code Geass vs. Kyuzo, Samurai 7<--sp? Pick: Kyuzo Group B-10 Lady Eboshi, Princess Mononoke vs. Sophie Forrester, Last Exile Pick: Lady Eboshi Group B-11 Char Aznable, Mobile Suit Gundam vs. Faye Valentine, Cowboy Bebop Pick: Faye Valentine Group B-12 Nana Osaki, NANA vs. Black, Tekkonkinkreet Pick: Nana Osaki Group B-13 Sawa, Kite vs. Suzuka, Outlaw Star Pick: Suzuka Group B-14 Revy, Black Lagoon vs. Maka Album, Soul Eater Pick: Revy - She's a sexy kind of cool, and badass. Group B-15 Master Asia/Tohofuhai Mobile Fighter G Gundam vs. Kenshiro, Fist of the North Star Pick: Kenshiro - definitely can't deny the badass aspect of this guy, but more than anything else the ability to combine martial arts with spontaneous combustion is pretty cool. Group B-16 Celty Sturluson, Durara!! vs. Amon, Witch Hunter Robin Pick: Celty Sturluson - she has a helmet shaped like a cat head. How cool is that?

Group B-1
D, Vampire Hunter D vs. Cobra, Space Adventure Cobra My vote goes to: D. Group B-2 Kirika Yumura, Noir vs. Sesshomaru, Inuyasha franchise My vote goes to: Sesshomaru. Group B-3 Captain Harlock, various (see Guide entry) vs. Gennosuke Kouga, Basilisk My vote goes to: Captain Harlock. Group B-4 Ginko, Mushi-Shi vs. Ami Kawashima, Toradora! My vote goes to: Ginko. Group B-5 Kisuke Urahara, Bleach vs. Toshio Oozaki, Shiki My vote goes to: Kisuke Urahara. One of the few characters cool enough to pull off a brimmed hat and clogs look. Beyond his cool appearance, Urahara has a charismatic, charismatic, and playful personality. Group B-6 Balsa, Moribito – Guardian of the Spirit vs. Tomari Kurusu, Kashimashi ~ Girl Meets Girl ~ My vote goes to: Balsa. One of the most realistic examples of cool/baddass in this tournament. She may not have the stereotypical bad ass "attitude", but she's much more likable and she serves as a good role model. She's also a formidable opponent in battle, but you won't see her doing ridiculously impossible feats like someone like Kenpachi or Guts. That's just not her style and I don't think you should dock her points for that. Group B-7 Gene Starwind, Outlaw Star vs. Kenshin, Ruroni Kenshin My vote goes to: Kenshin Group B-8 Oscar Francois de Jarjay, Rose of Versailles vs. Ken Washio the Eagle, Science Ninja Team Gatchaman My vote goes to: Ken Washio the Eagle. Voting against the one I know. Group B-9 Lelouch Lamperouge Code Geass vs. Kyuzo, Ssamurai 7 My vote goes to: Lelouch Lamperouge. C'mon Kyuzo is very weak; he has little to no personality and most of his cool points center around his appearance. As far as personality goes, he has little to none and he's standoffish. Lelouch has a much stronger personality and accomplishes many great things. Sure, he's not straight-laced or the most admirable person around, but he fights for something he believe in with effort and determination. Plus, I agree he's fun character to watch, too. Group B-10 Lady Eboshi, Princess Mononoke vs. Sophie Forrester, Last Exile My vote goes to: Eboshi. Group B-11 Char Aznable, Mobile Suit Gundam vs. Faye Valentine, Cowboy Bebop My vote goes to: Faye. Group B-12 Nana Osaki, NANA vs. Black, Tekkonkinkreet My vote goes to: Nana Osaki. Group B-13 Sawa, Kite vs. Suzuka, Outlaw Star My vote goes to: Sawa. Mainly based on the comments, but honestly after reading that spoiler I think she has fairly big weakness, too. Suzuka is alright, but she's only mid-tier if you are generous with grading her personality. Group B-14 Revy, Black Lagoon vs. Maka Album, Soul Eater My vote goes to: Revy. Probably the anti-Balsa. Her character is ridiculously over the top badass with a very strong in your face type of personality and a very loud and distinct sense of style. Not really a type of person you would admire unless you are batshit insane like she is, but then again she's not that type of character. Group B-15 Master Asia/Tohofuhai Mobile Fighter G Gundam vs. Kenshiro, Fist of the North Star My vote goes to: Kenshiro. Group B-16 Celty Sturluson, Durara!! vs. Amon, Witch Hunter Robin My vote goes to: Celty Sturluson Cool concept and equally cool character design. She's also a badass in any fight. It's a shame there are a few things that will prevent me from voting for her in the later rounds. |

Round 1 Group B is now closed.
With 26 votes that can actually be counted officially in, results are as follows: B-1: D slices and dices Cobra 22-4. B-2: Kirika Yumura comes from behind to handily beat Sesshomaru 18-8. B-3: Captain Harlock stomps Gennosuke Kouga 22-4. B-4: Ginko outwits Ami 22-4. B-5: Kisuke Urahara has little trouble with Toshio Oozaki, 20-6. B-6: Balsa nearly has a Flawless Victory over Tomari Kurusu, 25-1. B-7: Kenshin outlasts Gene Starwind 16-10. B-8: Oscar Francois de Jarjay defeats Ken the Eagle 20-6. B-9: Lelouch Lamperouge slips by Kyuzo, 15-11. B-10: Lady Eboshi handily defeated Sophie Forrester, 20-6. B-11: Faye Valentine fought to a 15-11 win over Char Aznable. B-12: Nana Osaki had a much easier time with Black, 23-3. B-13: Suzuka's wooden blade was more than a match for Sawa's guns, 17-9. B-14: Revy obliterated Maka Albarn 24-2. B-15: Kenshiro makes Master Asia's head blow up 22-4. B-16: Celty outclasses Amon 23-3. While the results were fairly predictable to me, I was caught off guard by how much Sawa lost by and how easily Celty won. A lot of big blow-outs this time, too, but that seems unlikely to continue next round. Anyway, I'm a bit behind tonight, so Group D will go up soon. |

This round definitely hurt my minigame, particularly as far as Char is concerned, as I thought he would have been able to survive at least the first two rounds.
I was really disappointed, however, that Cobra got beaten so badly. I guess it pretty naive of me to think that he actually stood a chance against D. That was one of the few brackets where I actually failed to vote where I thought most other people would. |

D-1: Ladd Russo
Part of my vote is how much Ladd enjoys being such a psychopath. I don't think he's as cool as Claire, but he still gets my vote. D-2: Arsene Lupin I appreciate his care free happy go lucky attitude he has when outwitting Zenigata and stealing stuff 
D-3: Jin D-4: Genkai Gah, are you freakin' kidding me? Why did all of the YYH characters have to go up against massive powerhouses in the first round, can't they get a break? Anyway, I expect Spike to win this and for good reason, but someone as old and as awesome as Genkai still deserves votes. I'll be happy either way though. D-5: Paprika D-6: Taisou D-7: Firo Prochainezo D-8: Kyouya Ootari D-9: Yang Wen Li Oh my god, group D, why do you do this to me?! One of the coolest bad guys in the tourney vs one of the coolest pacifists in the tourney (who still knows when to fight)?! Why do you do this to me?! Once again, I shall be happy either way, but I'm going with Yang Wen Li. He's not the only self described "pacifist' in the tourney, there's Kenshin and Vash, but the difference between them is that Yang knows that defeating your enemy by blowing up their ship is the only way to go sometimes, and I respect that more than Kenshin or Vash's pacifism. Yang is smart enough to know when action is the only way to go, it's part of why I like him so much, he doesn't have to enjoy it and in fact doesn't, but he has survival skills that involve "kill the enemy so I don't die". Also, Alberto isn't the bad guy who splits people in half with the snap of his finger, that's someone else, but damn is Alberto badass. D-10: Xellos D-11: Kakashi Hatake D-12: Dark Schneider D-13: Maximilien Jenius My god, group D really has it out for round 1 powerhouse matchups, wtf? I mean, do I go for the guy who throws vending machines or the most suave ace pilot there is? I'm going for the ace pilot, in part because he's not even the main character but it still cooler than the main character (Lancer trope invoked!) D-14: Lucy I know a lot of people during the prelims were all like "but Nyuu is useless", but if we consider the Count and Gankutsuou to be separate characters then surely the same should apply to Lucy and Nyuu. And Lucy is pure badass. D-15: Chouji Suitengu D-16: Kamina Dammit, group D strikes again! But Kamina is so cool that his influence never stops spoiler[not even when he's dead], that counts for a lot for me, easy vote for him from me. |

Group D-1
Ladd Russo, Baccano! vs. Marco Pagot/Porco Rosso, Porco Rosso Ladd Russo A psychopath without a generic sad childhood that is supposed to touch the hearts of viewers. Yes, please! Group D-2 Arsene Lupin, Lupin III franchise vs. Mikura Suzuki, Mezzo DSA, Mezzo Forte Arsene Lupin Group D-3 Hitagi Senjourgahara, Bakemonogatari vs. Jin, Samurai Champloo Jin Group D-4 Spike Spiegel, Cowboy Bebop vs. Genkai, Yu Yu Hakusho Spike Spiegel Group D-5 Atsuko Chiba/Paprika, Paprika vs. Erin, Beast Player Erin Erin - for being the most likeable child in anime ever that has grown into an admirable woman. Group D-6 Duke Togo, Golgo 13 vs. Taisou, Giant Robo Taisou Group D-7 Firo Prochainezo, Baccano! vs. Ichiro Miyata, Fighting Spirit Firo Prochainezo Group D-8 Alucard, Hellsing franchise vs. Kyouya Ootari, Ouran High School Host Club Alucard Group D-9 Yang Wen Li Legend of the Galactic Heroes vs. Alberto, Giant Robo Yang Wen Li Yang is my second favourite character with pacifistic views. His slothfulness may not be very cool, but it's not as uncool as, for example, Vash embarrassing himself whenever he wants to save someone. Yang's attempts to achieve his goals by losing as few people as possible is admirable and his attitude towards pacifism has never struck me as being unrealistic. Group D-10 Saeko Busujima, High School of the Dead vs. Xellos, Slayers franchise Xellos Whenever he opens his beautiful eyes, there is menace in them and you know something is about to happen. And besides, he kills a large group of dragons with just one finger. Can this girl from this fanservice show top that? Group D-11 Motoko Kusanagi, Ghost in the Shell franchise vs. Kakashi Hatake, Naruto franchise Motoko Kusanagi Group D-12 Scar, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood vs. Dark Schneider, Bastard!! Dark Schneider Group D-13 Shizuo Heiwajima, Durarara!! vs. Maximilien Jenius, Super Dimension Fortress Macross Shizuo Heiwajima Group D-14 Honoka, The Third: The Girl With The Blue Eye vs. Lucy, Elfen Lied Honoka Vote against Lucy, her second personality is too pathetic and even her more dangerous personality lapses into cliché and consequently is nothing special. Group D-15 Chouji Suitengu, Speed Grapher vs. Sebastien Michaelis, Black Butler Chouji Suitengu Group D-16 Kamina, Gurren Lagann vs. Batou, Ghost in the Shell franchise Batou |

Group D-1
Marco Pagot/Porco Rosso, Porco Rosso Group D-2 Mikura Suzuki, Mezzo DSA, Mezzo Forte Group D-3 Jin, Samurai Champloo Group D-4 Spike Spiegel, Cowboy Bebop Group D-5 Atsuko Chiba/Paprika, Paprika Group D-6 Taisou, Giant Robo Group D-7 Firo Prochainezo, Baccano! Group D-8 Alucard, Hellsing franchise vs. Kyouya Ootari, Ouran High School Host Club This match up is VERY unfair imo. But, regardless of how I think it's going to turn out, I am going to vote for The Power Behind The Throne, The Shadow King and for Mom...Kyouya. He is cool not a badass cool but he is cool. Group D-9 Yang Wen Li Legend of the Galactic Heroes Group D-10 Xellos, Slayers franchise Group D-11 Motoko Kusanagi, Ghost in the Shell franchise Group D-12 Scar, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Group D-13 Maximilien Jenius, Super Dimension Fortress Macross Group D-14 Honoka, The Third: The Girl With The Blue Eye Group D-15 Sebastien Michaelis, Black Butler Group D-16 Batou, Ghost in the Shell franchise[/quote] |
