IMPORTANT: I WILL NOT COUNT VOTES FROM THOSE WHO DO NOT VOTE FOR EACH FIGHT. ALSO IF I SEE OR NOTICE SOME SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY THAT ENTRY WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.

In this round in this thread we will have 6 characters, which means 3 fights.


FIRST FIGHT

Undertaker from Black Butler
Undertaker is a lean man with long gray hairโ€”a part of it is tied in a single braid on the right side of his headโ€”black fingernails, and a jagged scar across his face, neck, and left pinky finger. Like other Grim Reapers, he has chartreuse phosphorescent eyes, which he usually keeps hidden under his hair.


Undertaker often dresses in a black robe, a long crooked top hat, and a gray scarf strapped across his chest and knotted by the hips. He wears black earrings; an emerald ring on his left index finger; a band of prayer beads around his neck; and, formerly, a chain with seven mourning lockets around his hip.

The Undertaker is a very tall slender man (six foot one to six foot three) with long gray hair that hides his green double iris eyes. Undertaker wears all black robes what look like over the knee black boots an old looking top hat with a long tail. Undertaker also has several large scars, one that runs across his face and over his right eye, another that goes round his neck and the last (visible) one almost looks like a ring that wraps round his left pinky finger. Undertaker wears several interesting pieces of jewelry, two beaded necklaces, and a belt adorned with morning lockets. Undertaker also has three piercings in each ear, two rings in his ear lobe and a rod going threw his upper ear. Undertaker seems to have long (one and a half inch) finger nails that have been painted black, and he wears an emerald ring, like Ciels.

His beautiful green eyes, paired with his amazing scar that goes across his face, and long silver hair, are top notch.





VS

Geralt of Rivia (The Witcher)
Geralt of Rivia, The Butcher of Blaviken


"Keep The Gods Out Of It. Swear On Your Heads. Which I Will Take If You Break Your Vow."

Geralt in my opinion, has some of the most unique character designs I've seen. His armor and looks evolve through the story but his recognizable face/Hair color and especially eyes remain the same. I feel like the simple design with next to no clutter fits him and his profession( wandering monster slayer) best.

''Silver is for Monsters, Steel is for Humans''
โ€œPeople," Geralt turned his head, "like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves. When they get blind-drunk, cheat, steal, beat their wives, starve an old woman, when they kill a trapped fox with an axe or riddle the last existing unicorn with arrows, they like to think that the Bane entering cottages at daybreak is more monstrous than they are. They feel better then. They find it easier to live.โ€ - Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

SECOND FIGHT

Guts
Guts from Berserk
Guts have one of the most interesting character design, not because his initial concept, but because he keeps changing and growing older, showing us his growth from the day he was born. It's not only facial features either, his body is abused and mangled beyond belief, losing his arm and his right eye, his hair starting to grow white, the sacrificial mark, scars throughout his body (every scar really does have a story behind it) and his armor and weaponry also keep changing. His personality gradually changes as well, he goes from being a asshole to a more relaxed and wise man, only to reveal a beastly-like nature in battle.

His sword aka dragon slayer is cool
His mechanical arm which have cannon, crossbow, and some bombs.

And lastly his Berserker Armor is menace
Also here is the evolution of Guts

VS

Darth Vader
Darth Vader :

Everyone knows Darth Vader. You can be a Star Wars hardcore fan or a 80s granny you will recognize the character.

No need to know his history or to talk about his badassery or epicness. His design is the key of his success.

His black suit, robot chest, the cape and above everything the helmet.

Even if you see him from the back the shape of that helmet is one and only.

Darth vader is an icon.

Vader design is a big part of his character. The way he can inspire fear just by his presence, the way he can merge with the shadow etc. And that full black design was often used in the movies : when Luke and Vader fought the first time :


Just look this entrance : you can't see his traits precisely but you feel him deeply : that helmet, that big cape, full black with the smoke behind him.

During a good part of the fight you don't really see him close. He is just a shadow, the face of the evil. And the contrast with his red lightsaber is amazing.

You also have the Dark Cave scene where Luke had to face a fake Darth Vader the embodiment of his fears :


Once again Darth Vader design carried the scene : his whole huge presence, face almost hidden, and just the overall shape of his helmet and his cape were seen. He was one with the shadows and yet took all the spotlights.

Just like that you know instantly who that guy is :



Here is a great videos who show in details why Darth Vader design and presence is one of a kind and created one (or the one) of the most iconic villains and characters of all time.


Rogue managed to use vader shape and presence and the result was quite nice : all Vader code were there and once again he was one with the shadow


Vader is great and his design is a big part of the myth



THIRD FIGHT

Mihawk
Mihawk is a tall lean man with black hair, a short beard, mustache and sideburns that point upwards. His nickname comes from his strangely colored red eyes (yellow in the anime), which resemble a hawk's eyes.

He wears black and red ornate clothing with a crucifix pendant that hides a little dagger, which gives him the appearance of a Spanish swordsman. His attire consists of a wide-brimmed black hat decorated with a large plume, and a long, open black coat with no shirt underneath, with red, flower-patterned sleeves and collar. He wears white (light purple in the anime) pants held up by a decorated belt and tucked inside overly large boots in comparison to his leg size.

Mihawk is an immensely handsome man, muscular yet lean and not overgrown. His facial hair is on point, and superb. The whole vampiric aura is just another plus for him.

The man can pull off any look. This is what a Daddy looks like.

VS

Jotaro Kujo
Jotaro Kujo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Jotaro Kujo is the protagonist of Part 3 and also appears in Parts 4-6. Jotaro is the third and most recurring JoJo of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series. What makes him to prominent is his 6โ€™5โ€ stature, immense attractiveness and remarkably well built even when he was a teenager.

He is the best dressed JoJo and he can be easily recognized from the dark hair that constantly blends with his hat. Jotaro's iconic cap is embellished near the center with a golden button and it has a rectangular golden plate with a design of a flattened hand on the top.

Further, it is torn at the back giving the impression that it merges with his hair in the back. While they are first shown as being completely separate but slightly torn, later publications cause more uncertainty as to where his hat and his hair actually meet. According to the author Araki in an interview, he wanted readers to recognize Jotaro even from his back, and not just his forefront.

Apart from the iconic hat, what makes him so handsome is a strong jaw, bold eyebrows, and green eyes. He also bears a mild resemblance to his great-great-grandfather, Jonathan Joestar, and grandfather Joseph Joestar.

The theme of Jotaro's outfit changes in each part. His trademarks are a shaded, adorned cap, torn at the back and blending with his hair, and a roughly mid-calf-length coat with a standing collar and chains attached.

Jotaro wears a customized trenchcoat with a tall, stiff collar, pierced on the left with a golden chain. Under that he wears a fitted, sleeveless shirt and a pair of well fitted pants of very short, sharp flares held up by two thin belts, often differently coloured, patterned in a row of alternately colored triangles (reflecting Caesar/Joseph's headband). He also wears a pair of leather shoes.

While he was in high school, Jotaro's design was rather simple being a Japanese high school uniform with some very Jojo style alterations. For one there is a massive golden chain attached to his coat's left shoulder and the outfit sports two separate green and yellow belts. Since his look would never be complete without his iconic hat, Jotaro also sported a hat with some cool looking accessories pinned to it and the hat somehow blends with his hair.

Ayo Guts is my favorite manga character but if you matched him up with Vader you donโ€™t know anything about Star Wars comics. Vader is a planetary level threat
