IMPORTANT: You must vote for each entry not just one, you may self vote. If I see some suspicious vote brigading or anything of the sort the entry will be disqualified.

This round features 6 manga so 3 fights. May the best ones win :optimistic:



FIRST FIGHT

Death Note
Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospectsβ€”and he’s bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. But will Light succeed in his noble goal, or will the Death Note turn him into the very thing he fights against?



VS


Fullmetal Alchemist
In an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his arm and his leg, and his brother Alphonse became nothing but a soul in a suit of armor. Equipped with mechanical "auto-mail" limbs, Edward becomes a state alchemist, seeking the one thing that can restore his brother and himself... the legendary Philosopher's Stone.



SECOND FIGHT

Monster
Everyone faces uncertainty at some point in their lives. Even a brilliant surgeon like Kenzo Tenma is no exception. But there’s no way he could have known that his decision to stop chasing professional success and instead concentrate on his oath to save peoples’ lives would result in the birth of an abomination. The questions of good and evil now take on a terrifyingly real dimension. Years later, in Germany during the tumultuous post-reunification period, middle-aged childless couples are being killed one after another. The serial killer’s identity is known. The reasons why he kills are not. Dr. Tenma sets out on a journey to find the killer’s twin sister, who may hold some clues to solving the enigma of the β€œMonster.


VS


Berserk
His name is Guts, the Black Swordsman, a feared warrior spoken of only in whispers. Bearer of a gigantic sword, an iron hand, and the scars of countless battles and tortures, his flesh is also indelibly marked with The Brand, an unholy symbol that draws the forces of darkness to him and dooms him as their sacrifice. But Guts won't take his fate lying down; he'll cut a crimson swath of carnage through the ranks of the damned - and anyone else foolish enough to oppose him! Accompanied by Puck the Elf, more an annoyance than a companion, Guts relentlessly follows a dark, bloodstained path that leads only to death or vengeance.



THIRD FIGHT

Hunter x Hunter
Gon might be a country boy, but he has high aspirations. Despite his Aunt Mito's protests, Gon decides to follow in his father's footsteps and become a legendary Hunter. The Hunter hopefuls begin their journey by storm-tossed ship, where Gon meets Leorio and Kurapika, the only other applicants who aren't devastated by bouts of seasickness. Having survived the terrors of the high seas, Gon and his companions now have to prove their worth in a variety of tests in order to find the elusive Exam Hall. And once they get there, will they ever leave alive?


VS


Vinland Saga
Thorfinn is son to one of the Viking's greatest warriors, but when his father is killed in battle by the mercenary leader Askeladd, he swears his intent to have revenge. Thorfinn joins Askeladd's group in order to challenge him to a duel, and ends up caught in the middle of a war for the crown of England.

I am ngl, in this round it feels like you can't go wrong no matter which ones you pick.

I went with Death Note over FMA, because I enjoy the type of story Death Note is more than the typical shonen style, and Death Note stands as a superior work in terms of its psychological depth, exploration of moral ambiguity, and intellectual tension. The battle of ideologies between Light and L, the intricate manipulation of ethics, and the high-stakes cat-and-mouse game set against the backdrop of a morally uncertain world elevate Death Note beyond its counterparts.

When it comes to Monster vs Berserk, it was a very very difficult choice. I went with Monster cuz Johan just elevates the already majestic writing in Monster to another level. Griffith and Guts are both amazing in their own right, but Johan is superior to both imo, as well as the fact that Monster has an advantage having finished its story and delivered a great ending.


HxH vs Vinland. Again extremely difficult. I went with HxH, mainly because after Farmland, Vinland fell off in the subsequent arcs. HxH continues to shine and the current arc could very well end up being the best arc in the series ngl, surpassing even Chimera.

DN vs FMA, choosing b/w the finalists:PepeCoolGuyCry:
I like both but I think DN is more of a banger than FMA

Light first crimes, Ryun, Light vs L were peak

(DN opening and ending were insane too btw)
Post automatically merged:

Vinland is great but had one good flaw : the Jomsviking arc was ridiculous and the whole Floki thing was handled quite badly

What should have been a real test of character for Thorfinn and a great moment ended up being really mid

You can call any of FMAB, Monster, and Vinland Saga the greatest manga ever written and make it infinitely agreeable. It's like trying to name the greatest film of all time between High and Low, The Godfather, and Children of Paradise. Any pick is instawin.

No way all 3 that i voted for are losing :shocked:
R1 i don't care if you choose FMA.
But in 2, how can you eliminate Werserk for Trashster? "Oh i'm an orphan, i kill people, it's so deep".
in Rd3: you really gonna vote for text x text?
If it's anime vs anime i understand, but in manga form, Winland saga is better imo.
Better art, less exposition and more consistent in chapter releases.
