So, anime characters broke into the real world and start slaughtering people.

[himemiya1650]

RX-78 from Gundam. What other way is there to win, other than with giant a robot?

 

[Emissary Laito]

Gil from Pandora Hearts.

I get an awesome revolver and a chain (a demon essentially) to fight for me. In the form of a giant raven.

Plus I'd have style. So. Much. Style. =D

And a fear of cats

;-]

Speaking of which, Cheshire from the same show.

Spoiler

He's got quite a lot going for him really.
Even discounting the fact that he effectively has his own personal universe:
- He can teleport.
- He has massive claws.
- He effectively has two extra arms for support.
- He can shed his human form when he needs to.

 

[Bruin]

I would say no, because anime is the highest level of "boring, teenage bullshit" there is to me.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I hold the firm belief that Popeye could beat the crap out of every anime character in existence. At the same time.

 

[GundamSentinel]

No idea what you're going to face, so I'd just play it safe and say Goku.

 

[Prof.Wood]

Many people have said Goku so im gona say Gohan.

 

[TerribleAssassin]

Goku.


It's obvious, you could be Goku.


Nothing else needs to be said.

 

[hannan4mitch]

I will break this thread by saying Van Helsing from the animated Van Helsing film.
Yes, it does exist.
No, really, wiki it.

I see everyone has picked the most obvious choices and some ones that I probably don't know/remember

My choice is the Bastard that kills the other bastards, I choose to be Minato Arisoto! If you do not know of him, you probably never read Persona 3 fanfics.
Minato Arisoto is the protagonist of the Persona 3 fanfic, Fairly English Story, the author actually misspelled his last name (Arisato) but kept it in for the hell of it.

He has the power to do a lot of things, he can take bullets to the head (only, to the head...and it also summons a persona), he can create personas (as seen near the end of the story), he's british (well, japanese or half, but was raised in england to be badass), he can wield any weapon, he has an army of demons, he's friends with Lucifer AND Death, warhammer got involved with some gurren lagann and a lot more things that I can't possibly remember!

Oh and he also goes God Sue for most of the story as well, but another things is that he has the power to go back in time a few seconds, and it is powered by awesome.
He is a force to be feared, not to mention his shadow is the equivalent. He took on gods, he took on GOD (I think...or at least Metatron), he's also friends with Dante, and he has DAKKA!

If he can kill Gods, Nyx, Izanami, other god mode characters, Death solo, an army of angels, revolver jesus, every boss in the game multiplied by 1000+ at the same time and almost everything else. Who's to say he can't slaughter off anime characters.

This basically says a lot about the tropes he has:

[iFail69]

already been said, but Kuchiki Byakuya

 

[Nykal]

I want to say Alucard because he is the ultimate badass of all time, but since its already been used im gonna have to go with Zwei just for being an all around BAMF and having one of the coolest sounding theme songs ever.

[sketch_zeppelin]

just give me a gun that can kill anyone reguardless of powers. then all i'd have to do is shoot them while they're monologue'ing.

The bastards wouldn't be able to stop pointing out that i had a gun and that it was killing them...reguardless of how many times it had been said before.

What if they're powerful enough to not be killed by bullets (ex. the kind of shonen villain who gives monologues) or took precautions? You'll be wishing you asked for that big, shiny mech, wouldn't you?

first of all i asked for a gun that killes reguardless of powers. Second of all anime characters can't take precautions without spending an episode or 10 explaining exactly what they're doing and by then i, and everyone in the country would know what they're up to. (in case your wondering, i'm making fun of how bad the writing is in most animes)

What if they took precautions off-screen, so by the time they deliver a monologue they're already protected?

Can't say anything about a gun that kills regardless of powers, but that would be the most powerful anti-personnel weapon ever.

(disclaimer: I know you're making fun of DBZ-style tendencies to drag the plot out. Most anime series are actually between 13 and 26 episodes, it's just the long shonen series that get famous)

Actually what i'm making fun happens in almost all animes. It has to do with how the Japaness learn and teach. They learn through repetition of facts, while we tend to learn through practial application of information. And that shows in our difference of story telling technique.

We (America/Europe) prefer to show the audience rather then tell them. Ex: the character has a gun and we show this by having him pull it out and use it. In Japan they prefer to tell us then show us then tell us again. Ex: the character has a gun. the japaness will have him say somthing like "i'm going to shoot you with my revolver" then he pulls out the gun and then the other guy is like "oh, no a revolver!" and then the villian shoots him.

Thanks to better translation it has gotten better but its more than just a translation issue, you'd have to drastically change the story and pacing of the anime itself to fix it.

People (and animals) in general tend to learn through repetition, though it's acknowledged by many educators that the latter method is better (speaking strictly about education).

As for anime doing it, I think it has more to do with long-running shonen series trying to stall for the manga to catch up (the DBZ manga was actually kinda brisk, surprisingly). Or my reply to the next part.

We (America/Europe) prefer to show the audience rather then tell them. Ex: the character has a gun and we show this by having him pull it out and use it. In Japan they prefer to tell us then show us then tell us again.

That doesn't sound like repetition so much as tendencies for dramatic flair; a live-action crime show would show the shooting being quick, hence just pulling it out and using it. The mentioning of the shooting, on the other hand, works with the kind of villains you see in shonen series; they'd emphasize the evil action by mentioning their plan or whatever, and then doing it. It's the difference between a thug and a comicbook supervillain, one just does it and the other puts in a performance.

Thanks to better translation it has gotten better but its more than just a translation issue, you'd have to drastically change the story and pacing of the anime itself to fix it.

Since you said earlier that it's in most anime, I'm wondering what series you've seen. All I can say about translation is that newer dubs actually have more Japanese cultural tendencies in them than older ones (note that most cases of anime censorship in the west are from at least a few years ago).

 

[CACAVILLE]

I'm gonna have to go with Broly here... Omega Blaster anyone?

Spoiler: Not to mention this hair

Besides, if I find I'm not strong enough to beat a certain enemy... all I have to do is curse their name, strain my voice and scream for an hour or so and I should have powered up significantly enought to beat them. If not... then I just get someone to bring me close to death, only to come back stronger when I'm healed :3

'Took the words right out of my mouth.^_^

 

[Shoqiyqa]

I see everyone has picked the most obvious choices and some ones that I probably don't know/remember

You think Bridget was an obvious choice?

 

[Slavik_91]

I refuse it and ask for a colt pistol instead, then fool the anime characters into going on their 5 year monologues. I sneak up on the and boom headshot.

 

[GodofDisaster]

Xanxus from Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

I'll just use my Box Weapon, the Sky Ligers roar to harmonize and turn the enemies to stone, then blast them with my two guns, problem solved.

Then again I could just go with this guy.

Spoiler

Gogeta, SSJ4, what more could I need.
