Being one of the most innovative gaming ideas of 2005, Jump Super Stars has certainly fulfilled many an otaku's dreams. How many times has a person wished for two characters, so similar in character and strength, to engage in an epic battle just to see how much carnage they can inflict on each other and their environments? Gohan versus Naruto equals sleepless nights for many.
But one flaw in this DS wonder has given it a black mark in its white sheet of perfection: being a tiny cartridge, the anime titles and characters contained in Jump Super Stars could never match the anime information contained in your brain (you, being an anime fan), or even the massive database of ANN's encyclopedia. Jump Super Stars' shortcomings have resulted in the emptiness of a gamer after playing every single two-character battle combination in the game. So, where Jump Super Stars failed, this, er, activity, will deliver. The rules are simple: pick two anime characters, both from different anime, and pit them in a fight to the death with each other. In accordance with ANN forum rules, give reasons why you picked these characters, who will win the fight, and why you think so. P.S. Tag-team matches and/or handicap matches are encouraged.

Lucy would drop in and tear them limb from limb and disappear before either of them had time to blink.

I vote we keep this thread open, because even though it's kind of stupid and pointless it also happens to be stupid and pointless fun (at least to me), and as long as people provide sufficient reason/analysis/whatever I don't think it breaks any rules. Plus I've always wanted to rant about how I think blah blah Character from Series A who is similar to blah blah Character from Series B is stronger for (Reason C). Even though the physics of the two worlds may be completely different, it's still really fun to do. Plus, the thread starter seems to really want to do this and has provided sufficient justification as to why this thread would be okay to keep open. So, I guess here's one I'll start out with.
Light Yagami from Death Note vs. Lelouch Lamperouge from Code Geass: I'd think Light would win this one, he's just way too intelligent. Lelouch wouldn't have a reason to control Light unless with sufficient reason, and with a few of Lelouch's Geass uses Light would quickly figure out what type of power Lelouch has (or, hypothesize that it's along the lines of Shinigami Eyes). He would then devise measures to avoid having Lelouch seeing his face. Judging by the analysis we have seen the two of them undergo in their respective shows, I'd say that while Lelouch is indeed very intelligent, Light is just a super genius who rarely if ever makes mistakes. Lelouch had to be bailed out several times due to erroneous conclusions and analysis errors, while any mistake Light has made so far has been very minor. While Lelouch sees about 2 or 3 steps ahead, Light sees about twice that much, and takes every precaution to ensure that his plans won't be thwarted. Picked the two of them because they're both intellectuals with semi-similar powers, although Lelouch's is MUCH closer to Misa's. That and I'd just love to see what would happen were Lelouch and Light to work together (as opposed to Light and Misa). Light got good enough results with Misa, who knows what would happen if he worked with someone much more intelligent with the exact same power!? [EDIT] If we do decide to keep this thread open I would recommend changing the title and getting rid of "Gohan versus Naruto:" It's misleading and doesn't really provide a good impression of this thread. |

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread. I've never seen a "versus" thread turn out well unless it was monitored with Reich-like suppression of anything slightly resembling an attitude or hostility or off-topic discussion, and was weighted down with a laundry list of special "versus thread" rules a mile in length, all of which were followed dogmatically by a team of nearly a dozen moderators.
This is one of the reasons I hold MAHQ's forums in very high regard, but that's another matter entirely. Point is, I doubt ANN's forum staff can really muster such commitment or willingness to even care all to maintain this one thread, and I fully expect it to turn nasty sooner than later. But for now, I'll let it live, all in the hops you all prove me wrong. Have fun, now. |

In the Light versus Lelouch battle, I'm thinking Light would win. He's be able to figure out Lelouch's power early on, and he'd just wear sunglasses. After that, getting Lelouch's name wouldn't take him too much work, and he'd make short work of him. Light's intelligence would win this match.

If I'm not mistaken though, Lelouch stated in the show that eyewear doesn't have any adverse effects on his Geass. He also never uses his real name to anyone but C.C. and people whose deaths are absolutely assured (gun to head, ordered to kill selves via Geass), so it'd be a bit more difficult for Light to find out his real name when the only aliases Lelouch ever uses to 99.99% of the human race are "Lamperouge" and "Zero." |

I'm pretty sure Lulu needs unobstructed, direct eye contact with someone to use the Geass. Normal glasses aren't a problem, but shades and the like prevent his geass from working. It's the same if his face is blocked, which is why his helmet has the little remote controlled slit that opens when he wants to use it.

I have always wanted to see Ichigo Kurosaki face Inuyasha. (If you don't know what anime they are from you must be living under a rock.) They both are so similar its scary. First of all they each carry big swords, are very determined to accomplish whatever they set out to do, have beautiful girls that are in love with them, and are generally pessimists. I think it would be a close match with both of them using their swords to their full potential. No matter how injured they are both Ichigo and Inuyasha would keep fighting until only one remains!

Keiichi Morisato from Ah! My Goddess VS Keitaro Urashima from Love Hina. Battle of the hopeless, clumsy and accidently perverted anime romance men. I think this would be such a funny battle because both of them would have absolutly no idea what to do in a fight, but they would both be super determined yet completly aquard. In addition to the two guys fighting they would have a royal rumble with all the girls that follow them around. I think this would be such a great fight, even though they arent super strong or have any powers.

Mao's eye thingies seemed to protect him from Lelouch's Geass, so I assume Light would be able to do the same. Pointless argument, though. |

Lelouch's geass works like a light wave, so shades should be able to block it.
What I'd like to see is Light Yagami(Death Note) vs Mao.(Code Geass) It'll probably be a LONG cat-and-mouse chase, since they could literally outsmart one another over and over again. But Mao would probably win eventually, since he's always going to be one step ahead of Light in terms of planning. And, as we see in Code Geass episode 14, spoiler[Mao has a rifle. ]

Miaka from Fushigi Yugi vs. Kagome from Inu Yasha
I would have to go with Miaka on winning this one. Kagome seems to be limited to "Sit Boy!" and a bow. In brawls, bows aren't exactly the best weapon to have. She usually stands back and lets the others do the fighting until she able to fire off a shot...either that or running like hell. I think that Miaka, for all that she's an occasional flake, would have picked up some tips from Tamahome and Tasuki about down and dirty fighting. Not to mention she does know some pro-wrestling moves as evidenced in the first few episodes when she took out the spoiler[slavers that tried to capture her and Yui then the punks that lured her into following their bait when she was searching for Tamahome to make him help her find Yui.] Yeah, the others do fight to protect her but in a pinch, Miaka can hold her own. |

Eh, I'd probably give that one to Light. Mao isn't the brighest guy around, and in terms of raw intellectual ability, he's inferior to Lelouch. Besides, Mao can only kill Light by physical means, unlike Lelouch, who posesses abilities somewhat similar to that of Death Note. Sure, Mao can spoiler[read minds], but Light would definitely find a way around that, being the super-genius that he is. Well, if Mao just went up to Light and shot him upfront then he'd definitely win, but if it was a battle of wits, Mao wouldn't stand a chance. |
