SECOND FIGHT

Alucard

โ€The Bird of Hermes is my nameโ€ฆ eating my wings to make me tame.โ€

-Alucard



Alucard is dubbed as the most powerful vampire alive. He is the main protagonist of the Hellsing series, does not have any misgivings about killing humans and fiends alike.

He is the main fighting force of the Hellsing company and is a true monster. He kills his enemies with raging ferocity and cruelty. The only thing that makes Alucard seem less evil is that most of his victims are even worse than him. As most of his victims are Nazis and beings that are enemies of humanity, Alucard does seem more like a real hero and cares deeply for his charge Seras Victoria.

VS

Vito Corleone
He is an orphaned Sicilian immigrant who builds a Mafia empire.

He and his wife Carmela have four children: Santino ("Sonny"), Frederico ("Fredo"), and Michael, and one daughter Constanzia ("Connie"). Vito informally adopts Sonny's friend, Tom Hagen, who becomes his lawyer and consigliere. Upon Vito's death, Michael succeeds him as Don of the Corleone crime family.

Vito oversees a business founded on gambling, bootlegging, prostitution, and union corruption, but he is known as a kind, generous man who lives by a strict moral code of loyalty to friends and, above all, family. He is also known as a traditionalist who demands respect commensurate with his status; even his closest friends refer to him as "Godfather" or "Don Corleone" rather than "Vito".

Vito Andolini's story begins in Corleone, Sicily, in the Kingdom of Italy, when he was born on April 29, 1887. In 1901, the local mafia chieftain, Don Ciccio, murders Vito's father Antonio when he refuses to pay him tribute. Paolo, Vito's older brother, swears revenge, but Ciccio's men kill him too. Vito's mother begs Ciccio to spare Vito, but Ciccio refuses, reasoning the boy will seek revenge as a grown man. Upon Ciccio's refusal, Vito's mother holds a knife to Ciccio's throat, allowing her son to escape while Ciccio's men kill her. Family friends smuggle Vito out of Sicily, putting him on a ship with immigrants traveling to America. At Ellis Island, an immigration official renames him Vito Corleone, using his village for his surname. He later uses Andolini as his middle name in acknowledgment of his family heritage.

Vito is taken in by the Abbandando family, who are distant relations of his, in Little Italy on New York's Lower East Side. Vito grows very close to the Abbandandos, particularly their son, Genco, who is like a brother to him. Vito earns an honest living at the Abbandandos' grocery store, but the elder Abbandando is forced to fire him when Don Fanucci, a blackhander and the local neighborhood padrone, demands that the grocery hire his nephew.

In 1920, Vito is befriended by small-time criminals Peter Clemenza and Salvatore Tessio, who teach him how to survive by fencing stolen dresses and performing favors in return for loyalty. Fanucci learns of Vito's operation and demands a cut of his illegal profits or he will report Vito and his partners to the police. Vito then devises a plan to kill Fanucci. During the festival of Saint Rocco, Vito trails Fanucci from Little Italy's rooftops, jumping from one building to the next, as Fanucci walks home. Vito enters Fanucci's building and shoots him in the chest, face and throat, killing him. Vito then takes over the neighborhood, treating it with far greater respect than Fanucci did.

Vito and Genco start an olive oil importing business, Genco Pura Olive Oil Company. It eventually becomes the nation's largest olive oil importing company, and the main legal front for Vito's growing organized crime syndicate. Between Genco Pura and his illegal operations, Vito becomes a wealthy man. In 1923, he returns to Sicily for the first time since fleeing as a child. He and his partner Don Tommasino systematically eliminate Don Ciccio's men who were involved in murdering Vito's family and arrange a meeting with Ciccio himself. Vito carves open the elderly Don's stomach, thus avenging his family. Tommasino takes over the town and is the family's staunchest ally in the old country for the next half-century.

By the early 1930s, Vito has organized his criminal operations as the Corleone crime family, one of the most powerful in the nation. Genco Abbandando is his consigliere, and Clemenza and Tessio are caporegimes. As a boy, Vito's oldest son, Sonny, brings his friend Tom Hagen, a homeless orphan, to stay with the Corleones and Vito unofficially adopts him. As an adult, Sonny becomes a capo, Vito's heir apparent and de facto underboss. Fredo, Vito's second-born son, is deemed too weak and unintelligent to handle important family business and takes on only minor responsibilities. Vito has a difficult relationship with his youngest son, Michael, who wants nothing to do with the family business. Michael enlists to fight in World War II against Vito's wishes; when Michael is wounded in combat, Vito pulls strings to have him honorably discharged and sent back to the U.S., without Michael's knowledge.

Around 1939, Vito moves his home and base of operations to Long Beach, New York on Long Island, where Genco serves as his most trusted adviser until he is stricken with cancer and can no longer fulfill his duties. Hagen, who by now has become a practicing attorney, takes Genco's place.

Vito prides himself on being careful and reasonable but does not completely forsake violence. When his godson, singer Johnny Fontane, wants to be released from his contract with a bandleader, Vito offers to buy him out, but the bandleader refuses. Vito then makes the bandleader an "offer he can't refuse": he threatens to kill him unless he releases Fontane for a much smaller sum.

THIRD FIGHT

Light Yagami
Light Yagami is the main character of Death Note.

He was a born genius and was known to be an admirable person to his peers. But in the reality, he was very conceited and had a twisted mortality standpoint.

One day he found a Death Note, which was dropped by a Shinigami and he suddenly had the power to kill people just by knowing their faces and writing their names in the notebook. His twisted side became apparent when he started using the Death Note to kill countless criminals in the world. As the series progressed, he became power-hungry and developed a god complex. Soon he started even killing innocent people.

VS

The Punisher
Summary:
Driven by the deaths of his wife and two children, who were killed in the mob for witnessing a killing in New York Cityโ€™s Central Park, the Punisher wages a one-man war on crime using various weapons. His methods include murder, kidnapping, extortion, coercion, threats of violence, and torture in his campaign against crime.

FOURTH FIGHT

Musashi from Vagabond
Musashi starts out as a violent and aggressive teen whose only goal in life it is to become the strongest and defeat every fighter he comes across. He is cocky, arrogant, cruel and has no respect for life, neither the life of his opponents nor his own. Musashi is the opposite of your typical โ€šheroโ€˜.


What awaits the reader over the course of the series, on the other hand, is an amazing character development. Choosing the path of a wandering swordsman, firstly he sets out to challenge strong opponents but his character arc consists of much more than just this. More so, Vagabond is the story of Musashiโ€™s life as a whole and his development as a human being.
What makes Musashi such an amazing anti-hero is that he, despite being a violent savage, has the will to improve both in combat and mentally/spiritually. Unlike other characters in the series, Musashi is shown to seek for a deeper meaning to life and an answer to the true meaning of โ€˜strengthโ€™. He struggles, he suffers, he fails and time and again he has to come to terms with his insecurities and face his weaknesses.

Killing people in duels might be legal in his time period. But the many battles he fights make him realize that killing an opponent is not as simple as he had thought it is. Musashi grows to understand that taking a life is a horrendous act in itself. That every person he kills is a human being with dreams, friends, family. Eventually the act of killing makes him feel sick, he grows weary of his violent everyday lifestyle as a Ronin. Musashiโ€™s quest for the meaning of life eventually cumulates in the farming arc where he learns that he must โ€˜fightโ€™ for making a living instead of fighting with the sword. Musashi turns from a loner into a person who can cooperate with and support other people.

All in all, Musashiโ€™s character arc is a quest for the meaning of life. Neither is he a โ€˜good guyโ€™ nor a saviour or protector to the weak. He goes from an overly violent and essentially suicidal young man to an adult who can love and care for others, accept his own emotions and understands that life has value, even his own.







VS

Sasaki Kojiro from Vagabond


Sasaki Kojiro from Takehiko Inoue's Vagabond



Sasaki Kojiro and Miyamato Musashi

------

Sasaki Kojiro is the anti-hero of Takehiko Inoue's masterpiece, Vagabond. He is a very unique and intriguing character.

His personality is very playful, almost child-like. He loses his sense of hearing and cannot speak. And so he forms his own way of interacting with people. Through the blade. Through the sea. An object that is wild and free and yet extremely dangerous as well. The blade that claimed the lives of his parents and the sea that claimed his hearing. Ever since he was a child, he was in love with the sword.



He does not fight to be the strongest or famous, he fights to express his love for the art, therefore causing him to find joy in fights, like it was some fun game. Instead of hate or self doubt, he feels a sense of curiosity, to see how thing will go in his fight.




However, during his journey with Iito Ittousai, he learns that he must not ignore his fear if he wants to survive.



But even when the cruel world tests his love for the sword, he adapts and accepts the environment around him in order to improve.



Unlike the main character Musashi, Kojiro always understood that you should not fight just for the sake of killing. This forms a perfect foil for Musashi's character growth. As for their relationship, it is pretty wholesome, and shows how their no grudges between these two. They are just simply destined to fight one day.



He's a fantastic character and an example of how good Takehiko Inoue's writing can be.




VS

Zaraki Kenpachi
If there is a character in existence that I would describe as raw then it would 100% be Kenpachi Zaraki. Kenpachi is a savage in human form. he was built different from the start. In a series where characters fight by activating the powers in their swords, kenpachi went most of the series without even unlocking his true power. He split meteors. once swung his sword so hard that he broke his own arm. and that eyepatch he is wearing. you think he lost an eye? HA! kenpachi zaraki doesn't lose eyes, he takes them. the eyepatch is merely there as a limiter to make fights more even.

He is fucking cool, and it would be a real shame if he was on the side of the badguys, otherwise Ichigo wouldn't have had such a good time.
