I've been meaning to post this earlier, but I haven't been able to find the time. (I hurt my hand early Saturday morning and I can finally type again. And added to that, I've been feeling like crap every day.) Nonetheless, this is my top 5 anime fist fighters. (Again, not including ninjas.)
#5- Shimei Ryoumo- Ikki Tousen
Let me start off by saying this: I may be one of the few males that exist that actually got annoyed with the amount of fan service in this show. The story was amazing, but downplayed by the writer's constant want to make every character's clothes explode off. Shimei Ryoumo has always been one of my favorite characters from any anime. Not only because it's hilarious that a sadist would be a maid, but also because she is crazy strong and kind of crazy.
P.S. I'm not really sure which name is her family name, but I believe I put her family name first, which is how I'm going to do this review. (It's easier for me).
#4- Nanjo Kisara-Kenichi: The mightiest disciple
I'm not really sure what to say about Kisara other than that her personality and background make for a very good explanation why she is so good at fighting. She is fast and strong and has a kick that crushes bones. She was definitely a character that I couldn't leave out of this countdown.
#3-Shirahama Kenichi- Kenichi: The mightiest disciple
I haven't read the manga, but in the anime, Kenichi is ridiculously strong fighter at the end. However, in order to get there, he had to be a ridiculously tough punching bag. He originally is weak and scrawny, but ends up taking down some of the best fighters around. He isn't the strongest fighter yet, but he does defeat his rival at the end, which makes him the mightiest disciple. (Hence the name.)
#2-Aikawa Maki- Air master
Air Master completely changed the way I look at fighting anime. After seeing how Maki flies through the air and still lands devastating strikes, it made me really start to question a lot of the fighting that I have seen in other shows. Nonetheless, this show is action packed down to the comic relief. I can safely call anyone who fights Maki a victim because she is ridiculously strong and fast. Not to mention, she learns new moves and adapts on the fly (both figuratively and literally), which makes for awesome fight scenes.
#1- Sagara Sanosuke- Rurouni Kenshin
Though he starts off as a swordsman, Sanosuke drops his sword forever and begins to master the art of hand-to-hand combat. He reaches his best moment when he learns a new attack in one episode and turns around and defeats the person who taught him only a few episodes later. (I believe it was two weeks in terms of real-time comparison.) Though he's hotheaded and kind of stupid, Sanosuke is a great fighter who fights based off of a strong sense of morality. He wins the number one slot in this countdown for two reasons:
1. He learns a six-month technique in seven days
2. He defeats the only living master of that technique two weeks later
He learns fast and thinks faster, which is why I enjoyed watching him fight and progress throughout the entire series.
----------------------------------
Those are my top 5 anime fighters. I wasn't too sure where to put all of these people, but I knew that these 5 had to be my top 5. However, if you are reading this and disagree, feel free to comment or send me an email with any corrections you would have made at: animeandgames4@gmail.com
The next countdown series that I will do will be a 5-part series: top 5 favorite anime comedies,top 5 favorite tsundere characters, top 10 favorite anime ninjas, top 5 favorite anime powers, and a top 10 that is yet to be decided. Thanks for reading and please do continue to check out this blog.
