Who is da man (or woman) in the anime?
Eikichi Onizuka: Why he's the man?: When you look at Onizuka-kun's profile of being a high school dropout-turned motorcycle punk with a low IQ, you would think that he has less chance of becoming a teacher, let alone a good one than a yakuza gangster. That was what everyone else in the GTO world thought but he proved them wrong. He used a different style of teaching from ordinary average teachers but being a social outcast, he understood those teenage kids' problems a lot better than the adults who led a privileged life and had a privileged childhood, therefore they wouldn't understand the unprivileged, problematic kids but rather saw them as mere "trash". At first, Onizuka's becoming a teacher had been motivated by his dream of having a 16-years old wife by the time he's 40, but later on, he discovered not only that it's wrong to take advantage of youngsters but also that he seriously discovered the responsibility of being a teacher, when he sees himself in any kid at school. He aims to become a teacher and his goal is met with success as he used his "special counseling" to reach out to every student including Yoshikawa, Kikuchi, Kunio, Urumi Kanzaki, and even Miyabi in the manga and anime. Defining moment: in the manga volume 25, spoiler[when Eikichi was seriously injured from his skirmish with an insane lunatic kid and was brought to hospital, he was on the brink of death with doctors futilely trying to revive him. Everyone was worried. So worried that Urumi Kanzaki sliced her wrists and promised that if Onizuka dies, she'll join him. Ryuji Danma pounded his fists on Onizuka-sensei's chest in order to try to revive him. Just after Onizuka was pronounced dead by the doctors, Yoshikawa refused to accept the news. He yelled out that the school is on fire and principal Daimon and the school director Sakurai are trapped inside. He added that only Onizuka can save them. Suddenly, as if Onizuka heard Yoshikawa's words, he suddenly woke up back to life and stormed out of the hospital on his way to the school. He crashed his motorcycle into the burning school and then rescued Daimon right out a fourth floor window, riding on his motorcycle in the mid-air and laughing like a lunatic. ] It seems like a miracle that he came back to life just after pronounced dead because there is still someone else in danger but Onizuka would never know when to quit. He refuses to let even death stop him. Kenshin Himura Why he's the man: He's the battousai. perhaps the greatest anime swordsman in all of Japan. He gradually had realized that he's committed grave sins so he vowed never to take a life again. But he promises himself to devote his life to fight for justice, fight to protect his friends and fight to atone his sins. He often risked his life to protect the innocents and refused to back down when he's in danger. He even stopped Shishio in order to save the people and government of Japan. Defining moment: spoiler[ In the Christian saga storyline, he was facing a new deadly foe called Shogo Amakusa who proclaimed himself the Son of God. Shogo was so dangerous, even Kenshin’s mentor is rather wary of him. Even when Kenshin got blinded by Shogo’s attack, he could run away but he didn’t. He still adheres to his goal of defeating Shogo who is far more powerful than him because he knew the lives of innocent Japanese Christians are at stake. Kenshin knew If he ran away and refused to stop Shogo, many or all of Shogo’s Christian followers will get slaughtered. So Kenshin had to stop him, even though he‘s still blind. Kenshin would lose if he sought a rematch with Shogo But in the end, the blind Kenshin managed to defeat his vastly superior enemy, Shogo. ] Sakura Kinomoto: Why she rules: At first Sakura was reluctant to accept her card captor role. But later on as she saw the cards’ somewhat destructive potential to harm innocents, she realized the importance of her responsibilities as a card captor. Meaning she was more than willing to assume the mantle of the card captor in order to protect her friends, family and other residents of the town. It was not just her magical skills that made her a worthy card captor. But also it was her own compassion and kindness. She fought hard to capture cards in order to save people from Watery Card’s drowning them, free Rika from the Sword Card, release Tomoyo and her mom’s treasure box from the Shield Card, to save the doll shop “Twin Bells” from the Jump card, etc. She struggled so hard to transform each Clow card into her own Sakura card, which draws a lot of her magical energy making her sleep. But transforming Day and Night cards was no walk in the park at all. But still she went to VERY great pains to change the Day and Night in order to free her beloved hometown from Eriol-kun’s control. And she succeeded with Syaoran’s help as well as Kerberos and Yue’s, too . Defining moment: In the episode 46: “Sakura & The Last Judgment”, spoiler[ When Yue, at Kerberos’ nomination, was ready to test Sakura and Syaoran for whether they were worthy to be their master. Syaoran failed and Sakura was about to fail, too until she was experiencing a dream in what the world was like, if she should fail the judgment test. She saw how everyone forgot their own feelings for each other and it saddened her. She felt it was the worst thing that could happen to anyone. She refused to allow this to happen, so she decided to fight back vigilantly until she passed Yue’s judgment. And so she did successfully, because of her desire to protect people’s happiness, love and memories. ] |

Lord Alberto The Impact - Giant Robo
The coolest character in the Giant Robo OVA--which is saying a lot considering pretty much every single character is "the coolest", to a lesser degree. Alberto is one of the best "villains", even though the series obviously strays into the "grey" territory with every character. Aside from the fact that he lights cigars with his mind just because he can, his defining moment pretty much makes the best scene in the seres (again, that's saying a lot). Defining moment - spoiler[In episode five, near the end, Alberto is betrayed and killed in one of the most anti-climactic, pointless ways by Genya. In episode 6 it's hinted that he's still alive, though. In the final episode of Giant Robo--episode 7--right near the finale when everything is on the brink of destruction, people are throwing their lives away in heroic ways, and everything seems hopeless, Alberto shows back up and ends up helping the heroes just out of spite for Genya. Of course, he gives his monologue about not trying to help the heroes, but he's just doing this to get back at Genya. So one of the most hated villains ends up betraying his own side, and sacrificing his own life in a totally badass way, thus playing a key roll in saving the world. Awesome. ] |

Sagara Sosuke - FMP
Why he rules Kills terrorist, and doesn't have the fluffy way of thinking, "I must fight to protect, but killing bad men is still wrong.". He makes the most popular girl in school fall in love with him without even trying. Defining Moment spoiler[Taking out 4 Lambda Driver powered AS fast and efficiently, althoguh not entertaining for us viewers, but Sosuke don't f* around with terrorist.] |

I'd vote for Motoko Kusanagi. She outhacked the Laughing Man, who himself proved that nothing is safe. Her ability to go into stealth mode, and be nigh unto invisible, or maybe it is actually invisible, hard to tell with art. She also has quite the body, gives a man a different feeling than he would have for a toaster, which would be like her second cousin twice removed.
Although major Kusanagi does not have mystical powers, no one in her universe does either, so she is not at a disadvantage there. But I could say the goddess Belldandy would rock her world, she is a goddess after all. How can a mere mortal top that? |
