I liked Saito Hajime better, but he Hiko was pretty cool nonetheless

When I was younger and valued coolness and power over strong characterization and depth of personality I found myself wishing that the Anime could be about Hiko rather than Kenshin.

Now I realize it'd have been boring as phuck.

He'd have oneshotted Shishio and banged his whore girlfriend right after if he'd actually thought it was worth his time.

hehe yeah, and he wasn't just overpowered, he was archetypically perfect all arround, his mere presence dissolved moral conflict and redeemed his opponents. the way he handled that giant just seemed like magic compared to the grit of the series. everyone bled, stumbled, regreted and suffered but he floated above their human misery while wearing a cape.

That was beautiful.

He was badass though he reminds me of the masters in Historys Strongest disciple treating Kenshin like a worthless step child 😆

Also he looked half his age.

Should have included Shatterstar on this list.
lol. It's like saying Catwoman should be added to a list that compares the top martial artists in DC.

It occurs to me that I might be attributing Nightcrawler with something from the Wolverine and the X-Men animated series. I could have sworn it happened in one of the one shot anthologies in the recent years... but I can't find a Spiral appearance list that supports her appearing in one. 😮

You're welcome. Spiral had bionic arms in that series, by the way.

I think we should start ranking before we worry about adding more 🙂

I dont think it about the best. Just who the best out of that group. Because there are several individuals being left including who you mention among others that would destroy most if not all of the the people listed above.
