Category 1: Master of the Sword
Samurai Jack vs. Kenshin Himura

Category 2: Master of the Gun
Spike Spiegel vs. Vash the Stampede (what did you expect besides this cliche?)

Category 3: Master of Unarmed Combat
Aisha Clan-Clan vs. Master Asia

03-30-2004, 11:01 PM

Samurai Jack? C'mon.

Kenshin, Vash, and MASTER ASIA.

03-30-2004, 11:21 PM

Of course. Samurai Jack pwns. He can single-handedly destroy thousands of giant robots while dodging their lasers. You don't see Kenshin doing that.

03-31-2004, 12:16 AM

Kenshin..um...Spike, and Master Asia.

Vash is cool too, I just like Spike better. Tough choice though...

Kenshin's world is too different than Jack's in my oppinion. I think that Kenshin is better with a sword and Jack is better in hand-to-hand combat. I had to vote for Kenshin since they would be fighting with swords.

Vash. Duh.

Master Asia. Another duh.

03-31-2004, 01:05 PM

Kenshin. His style of swordplay is the most deadly ever concieved. Jack's good, but he doesn't compare.

I dunno....Vash,I guess.

Aisha Clan-Clan. I mean, this is painfully obvious. Master Asia's an incredibly powerful human, it's true. But Aisha's a Kotaro-Kotaro. I saw her get wrapped up by bombs, and it did no lasting damage. Aisha's almost like a werewolf. Master Asia's a great fighter, but this is simply not his league.

Falco53 · 03-31-2004, 01:08 PM

^Note to other people: I based my choice between Master Asia and Aisha Clan-Clan on what I knew of them. I know absolutely nothing of Aisha Clan-Clan, except that Aisha has a dumb name, looks dumb, and... Well, that was pretty much it.

03-31-2004, 02:56 PM

Jack: Jack has insane endurance and kenshin fights with a reverse blade sword. Jack is at least as fast as Kenshin. Kenshin won't win.

Vash (no contest)

Aisha

Maybe because robots didn't exist in Kenshin's time? And because RK is supposed to be a bit more of a "realistic" series, so you don't see 5000 zombie warriors shooting lasers out of their eyes while riding robot alligators.

Uhh....no. Jack's nowhere NEAR as fast as Kenshin. Kenshin can hit eight points on the human body with one sword--SIMULTANEOUSLY. And when Kenshin gets serious, the fact that he uses a reverse blade sword only makes the cuts bigger. Or have you forgotten what he did to the guy with the whip-sword?

We eagerly await your explanation on how Kenshin can apply an infinite force on his sword and at the same time prevent it from collapsing the entire universe into it while he is swinging his sword.

I have an explanation:

"It's a cartoon. Who cares?"

03-31-2004, 06:30 PM

Samurai Jack can dodge thousands of lasers firing at him at the same time--and unlike swordstrokes from a single sword, they can actually come at the same time.

03-31-2004, 06:34 PM

Samurai Jack first off I need to say is poor animation and I so so so hate it. Rurouni Kenshin I love and I think he'll win over Jack any day especially with the attack that some are saying that can hit eight parts of the body at once. Unrealistic but its an anime people what do you expect?

Simple--he hits eight major points on the human body in such incredibly rapid succession that they hit practically simultaneously.

That's good. Kenshin's blocked bullets before. And every time Jack blocks bullets, you can SEE the bullets. Kenshin has literally blocked bullets--you know the kind that travel too fast to see? Plus, Kenshin can move faster than human eyes can follow.

03-31-2004, 09:28 PM

C'mon, I don't like the show that much, but I will admit Samurai Jack has very good animation. I just think it's annoying how EVERY episode is just him fighting ten thousand robots; it's BRAIN-NUMBING. The more brilliant episodes are the ones that tend to be more varied, like the one with THA SAMURAI!, and the one about Aku telling the kids fairy tales. It's an alright series overall.

Or, in other words, not over a finite period of time.

They, being bullets, must also be of the kind that travel more slowly than the speed of light. Since Jack can dodge lasers, it must be true that he is faster.

We've never seen Kenshin dodge lasers, because there are no lasers in old Japan, so we don't know.

It's kind of unfair to compare them, because Kenshin was meant to be a somewhat realistic series that focused on swordsmanship, while Samurai Jack is mainly hack and slash sci-fi action IN THE FUTURE!!!11

**Wyborn** · 03-31-2004, 11:22 PM

Samurai Jack is faster with his sword than Kenshin is, and his sword in unbreakable, and in hand-to-hand he would beat Kenshin's ass so hard he would explode just frmo the whooping.

Prediction: Samurai Jack wins. Period.

Vash is going to win if he and Spike draw their guns. Vash is a better shot and can dodge bullets - though Spike could possibly lead him, he's not likely to think to do this before Vash throws his revolver and knocks him unconscious with it.

On the other hand, neither one of them is likely to draw their gun right off the bat - if they don't pull their guns then Spike will beat the crap out of Vash in hand-to-hand.

Prediction: Vash wins with the mighty revolver-throwing kung fu action.

Aisha probably wins out over Master Asia in hand-to-hand, though if Master Asia has his sash then he wins no contest.

Prediction: Aisha crushes Master Asia with her mighty hands.

The lasers are visible, and slow to boot.

I don't see HOW Jack would win. Soo his sword's unbreakable. Moot point if he can't see Kenshin to stop him. And I have yet to see Samurai Jack perform ANY swing with a semblance of speed comparable to Kenshin's. He's not slow, but Kenshin's attacks are designed with speed in mind. You can always SEE Jack's blade. Kenshin's blade can't always be seen--and furthermore, he can move it fast enough that it appears to be in eight places at once.

Edit: Oh, and if we give Master Asia his sash, it's only fair to give Aisha her full-out tranformation.
