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 10 mentors , which means 5 fights.

FIRST FIGHT


Satoru Gojo
Satoru Gojo. The strongest character in Jujutsu Kaisen.

He was born on December 7, 1989. His birth single-handily changed the balance of the powers in the world and started a new era in which Cursed Spirits became more aware of the danger that Sorcerers pose to them.

When he was a little kid he was seen by one of the strongest characters Toji Zenin who was known as the infamous assassin the "Sorcerer Killer". Years later was tasked with killing the Star Plasma Vessel that was meant to merge with Master Tengen and was escorted by Gojo himself.

They fought each other in a death battle with Toji having the upper hand at first but later due to Gojo finally unlocking his full potential he was able to defeat Toji and become the Strongest known Sorcerer alive.

Gojo is known for his at times goofy and free spirit personality but when he has to step up, he is deadly serious about his goals, motivations, and the way he is handling his importance to the Jujutsu society.

He openly admits to feeling displeased with the way Jujutsu higher-ups are managing their society. Because of this, he decided to become a teacher in Tokyo's Jujutsu High. He wants to create a dependable and accepting place for every sorcerer. He is actively trying to expose the fraudulence of the Jujutsu higher-ups with his actions and tasks his students with missions that allow them to grow in power and experience so one day they can overthrow them and begin a new era in Jujutsu society. He could just go and single handily kill each and every single one of them but he understands that it's not how it works and he would only make himself look like a power-hungry brute who wants to rule with an iron fist instead of what he aims for. He took a more politically correct approach although it is not as easy as it seems.


Satoru Gojo is not the cliche sensei that will take you on a 2 years trip or explain the basics for you from the beginning to the end. He takes a new approach with tasking his students with his own dangerous missions and makes them develop with the learning thru experience method. Of course, it is not the most viable way of developing your students who put their lives at the risk but in a way, he prepares them for the cruelty of this world. One day he will need to step down and he needs people whom he can pass the torch to and trust them with the safety of the world targeted by cursed spirits and evil sorcerers.

Gojo always knows what his students need. He knew Yuji needed emotional support so he invited Nanami to help him, he knew what was holding Megumi back so he helped him, he told Yuta how to release Rika and use a sword, it's always Gojo flashbacks that save his students.

Then I'd write about him being a bit of an unconventional teacher. Also, what I appreciate about him is that he sees his students not just as students or sorcerers, but as kids who should get to enjoy their youth when they can.

Take the baseball game for instance. The other teachers decide amongst themselves to not continue with the event at all (and for reasons that are kinda understandable, to be fair). But Gojo leaves it up to the students to decide whether the event should continue after all that goes down. When they do decide to continue, the other adults are okay with following routine and letting the students go at each other's throats again. But Gojo goes with a baseball game instead, which not only helps the students take a much-needed breather but also lets the Kyoto students get to know Yuuji as a fellow kid rather than as 'Sukuna's vessel'.

VS


Kratos from God of War
Kratos was once a well respected Spartan warrior, but became the Ghost of Sparda after getting tricked into killing his family by Ares. Kratos soon becomes God of War after avenging his familyโ€™s death by killing Ares. Later, Kratos is revealed to be a Demi God and the Son of Zues, who eventually betrays him.

Why heโ€™s the best mentor:
Later in the series Kratos has a son, Atreus, and finds himself controlling his own rage and learning to truly be both a father, and a mentor to teach Atreus to be a better God than himself.


SECOND FIGHT

Might Guy
Might Gai is simply the best teacher for a few short, concise reasons. When a student has potential and all others look past him, Gai decides to take the student up on his own. Inspire him and train him extremely well in the skill area he excels in. Lee was a worthless student and because of Gai he turned into a power house.

But beyond the results of his training,. Gai embodies a certain attitude and demeanor that inspires others to be the best. Brought on by Might Dai โ€” his father โ€” Gai has a philosophy of always staying positive and retaining a youthful expression, be it in combat or in mundane life.

VS

Kisuke Urahara

Kisuke Urahara is the former captain of the 12th Division, as well as the founder and 1st President of the S.R.D.I.. His lieutenant was Hiyori Sarugaki. He lives in the Human World where he owns a small convenience store which sells Shinigami items. He is assisted by his employees Tessai Tsukabishi, Jinta Hanakari, and Ururu Tsumugiya.

Though usually a laid-back, optimistic, jovial, humble and eccentric man, Urahara shows a deceptively cunning and serious side when the situation warrants it. He commonly uses idle conversation and outward concern to distract his opponents. Despite his care-free attitude, he always speaks politely, but is sometimes sarcastic. Yoruichi Shihลin notes he tends to go over the top with whatever he becomes passionate about. He has described himself as a "mere honest, handsome, perverted businessman."

Approximately 110 years ago, Urahara's personality was slightly opposite of what it is in the present. During his earlier years as a captain, he was viewed as a nervous, flustered, and quiet person. Somewhat unsure of himself, he lacked confidence in his ability to be a good leader. In addition, he was occasionally confused with how to deal with his division. Despite being uncomfortable in his role, he seemed relatively at ease in his previous position at the 2nd Division Detention Unit. However, he eventually hardened his resolve to take on his role as captain by becoming more serious and determined.

Urahara can usually be found near the scene of an important event, but he rarely intervenes in situations, preferring to stay on the sidelines. He often knows more information than he lets on, and despite being a major player in the situation, he acts only as a catalyst, having others do the work for him. Urahara is often manipulative, tricking people into doing what he wants them to.

He likes building large secret underground training spaces.

Kisuke is a pragmatic combatant, believing that using any means necessary in a life-and-death battle is essential in victory and survival, such as forming an alliance with Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez beforehand to defeat Askin Nakk Le Vaar via a sneak attack from behind.

In terms of sheer effectiveness, he might be one of the greatest of all time. He helped Ichigo to reach levels as a Shinigami that would have taken decades or centuries in a matter of days.

THIRD FIGHT

Jiraiya


"Let me explain something to you, there is only one thing that matters if you are a shinobi, and it isn't the number of jutsu you possess. All you do need, is the guts to never give up."
-Jiraiya


Jiraiya is a ninja from the leaf village and he is popularly known as the Pervy Sage. He has mentored Minato Namikaze (The Forth Hokage of Leave village), the Rain village orphans, and the protagonist of the story, Naruto Uzumaki who is also the Godson and the final student. He becomes known as the "Toad Sage" due to being trained by the Great Toad Sage in the arts of Senjutsu enabling him to summon toads during battles and use their powers. The Great Toad Sage also informed Jiraiya of a prophecy that he will look after a child who will either save the world or destroy it. Jiraiya and his two teammates, Orochimaru and Tsunade were known as the "Three Legendary Sannins" and they were famous for their fight against Hanzo, who was the then-ruler of the Rain village.


Soon after, Jiraiya meets a trio of Rain village orphans who are Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan and thereafter he trained the three in ninjutsu to protect themselves. At that time, Jiraiya considered Nagato to be the child from the Great Toad Sage's prophecy.
Though known for his fierce loyalty towards the leaf village, Jiraiya left the village time to time to visist other places and to also bring information for the Hokage. Sometime in his life, Jiraiya also became the mentor of Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, who died in the process on sealing the Nine-Tailed Fox into his newborn child Naruto Uzumaki along with his wife, Kushina.
Jiraiya took the time to train Naruto, when he visited the village in the part 1 of the story and he also taught him his own jutsus and tried to help him to control his tailed beast. After Naruto's attempt to save his classmate Sasuke Uchiha, Jiraiya decides to train the boy for two and a half years to make him strong enough and to protect himself and his tailed beast from the notorious Akatsuki organization.



Jiraiya was the closest relationship that Naruto ever had in his life. He was also the one who gave Naruto his name. Being forced to keep a watch on the movements of Orochimaru, Jiraiya was frequently absent from the village which is why he couldn't take care of Naruto in his early years. They met when Naruto was going through the Chunin exams.



Some time later, Jiraiya went off to investigate Akatsuki's leader, Pain in the rain village. His investigation lead him to battle Pain, whom turned out to be Nagato. But he was found to be using the corpses of Yahiko and five other random ninja. At last, Jiraiya realised that it was none other than Naruto who was the child of prophesy. This made him remember one of his books wherein the main character was named Naruto and then Jiraiya gathered the strength to send a message to the leaf village about the secret to bring down Pain. While Pain kills Jiraiya, he concludes that Naruto will be the true saviour of the Ninja world.



Ever since they met, Jiraiya and Naruto became close. After learning of Jiraiya's death at the hands of Pain, Naruto fell into a depression. Jiraiya's death was the first time Naruto ever felt the pain of losing a loved one. Meeting Nagato face to face, Naruto decided to seek vengeance and he wanted to avenge his master. However in order to stop the cycle of hatred, Naruto declared that he'd bring peace to the world using Jiraiya's teachings. Naruto spared Nagato and then he made a memorial in honour of Jiraiya and vowed to find a path to peace.

VS

Dumbledore
Dumbledore is one of the Best mentor figure of the last decades.

To begin with Dumby : is he the best mentor around ? I don't think so, the guy was full of holes, but he was definitely one of the best mentor character.

Dumby is one of the main characters in Harry potter, and during the books one of the main help for the protagonist Harry.

Dumbledore is a mentor for Harry but it can be said that he is a mentor for everyone from the light side. The guy is the elderly / father figure for everyone.

But Dumby is more complex than that, he is not only sweet he is also steel. The guy always change between the mentor and the master. Dumby is not the headmaster of a school he is a general that fought two wars. His words are not only to console and guide but also command.

But Dumby is not bad, he is a good guy and conscious of his own faults :

"As I have already proven to you, I make mistakes like the next man. In fact, being โ€” forgive me โ€” rather cleverer than most men, my mistakes tend to be correspondingly huger."

"Regret is my constant companion. Do not let it become yours."โ€” Albus Dumbledore on the nature of regret

To understand Dumbledore you have to understand his youth :

during his youth he made some questionable choices and sought a dark path and power. He made friends with Grindelwald and dreamt of wizard domination, muggles oppression and personal power.

But everything changed when after a heated argument a three way duel occured between his brother Aberforth, Grindelwald and himself and Dumby little sister died. No onw really knew who sent the mortal curse and Dumby always wondered if it was his own curse which ended her life.

That moment was a big turnaround for Dumby. Grindelwald fled and Dumby turned his back from the dark path and came back to the light. He also took some distance from power, he refused like 3 times to be Minister of Magic.

But he still occupied lost of prestigious and high ranking jobs/fonctions : member of the Wizenmagot, Wizard parliament), an international negociator, the headmaster of Hogwart and the great leader of the Order of the Phoenix.

Now lets talk about the mentor figure that is Dumby.

Dumby was a mentor for a lot of wizards and witch. He is one of the three most powerful wizard of the books and also one of the smartest. This give him great power over everyone. Dumby was also caring and wise. People looked for him to handle things and could always asked him for advices or to lay a hand. And very often he had the right words, the right actions and made himself indispensable.

Dumby main mentorships are with Harry and Snape.

Both those relationships showed the good and the bad in Dumbeldore : the caring and the calculating.

Dumbledore really cared about Harry, he never wished harm to him, and was really sorry for the situation harry was in chosen one etc). And Dumby really tried to help him and save Harry. But for his war Harry was a central piece and he needed to be put in special situations even if those ones werent great for Harry and his hapiness.

Dumby gave Harry to the Dursley knowing they were bad. Dumby made choices that he believed to be for the benefit of humanity even if it deeply hurt some of the people around him. For example, he placed Harry Potter with the Dursley family despite knowing that they would be unlikely to treat him well, as pointed out by Professor McGonagall, all for the sake of keeping him alive.

"I knew my brother, Potter. He learned secrecy at our mother's knee. Secrets and lies, that's how we grew up, and Albus... he was a natural... How can you be sure, Potter, that my brother wasn't more interested in the greater good than in you? How can you be sure you aren't dispensable, just like my little sister?"โ€” Aberforth Dumbledore

Same in the end with Harry "death". Dumby knew that Harry needed to die and he wasn't sure that Harry would live again after that, yet he took that bet.

Dumbledore trained Harry, but not martial or power training like it could have been expected but try to condition Harry to accept his role.

With Snape it was the same, Dumby really cared for Snape and wanting him to open and be happy, yet he needed a spy, needed someone to kill him if needed, and used him to protect Harry. He used his love for Lily to bide Snape into doing this.

Dumby wasn't perfect at all. He kept things hidden from Harry and from everyone, and that enraged those beside him. And even despite his old age and wisdom his old demons were still there : he couldn't stop himself from touching the Gaunt Ring / Death Ring, and it was his doom. His old dream with the hallows took the best of him.

Dumby was also a monster wizard and its cool : (and in the books he had even more feats)









Is Dumbledore one of the best mentor ? i do'nt know, but he is def one of the most interetsting mentor figure.


FOURTH FIGHT

Yami Sukehiro
Yami is the Captain of Black Bulls. He originally originates from Hino Country but due to being shipwrecked on the shores of Clover Kingdom he remains there and becomes a Magic Knight.

Yami is incredibly hot headed and raw person. Using profanity, being reckless and hypocritical is daily occurrence to him.

His stoic persona often makes him seem emotionless but in reality Yami is emotional person, he just shows in it his own way.

He formed Black Bulls to give renegades and misfits a place of their own. Doesn't matter if they are rich or poor, noble or peasant, ugly or beautiful etc... they can all find their place at Black Bulls. Yami out of everything respects actions of people the most. He is the person that wants results and not words.

His approach to his comrades is tough love. He often assigns them difficult missions in order for them to grow. He makes sure they grow stronger so that they can face the world better. Like his comrades Yami also grows with them, their efforts make Yami evolve too.

Yami is an experienced and perceptive warrior, picking apart his opponent's strategies with a glance and is constantly trying to come up with counters for them.

He commands Dark Magic which he uses in conjunction with his katana. Most mages prefer ranged abilities whereas Yami doesn't shy away from physical power too. If needs be he will engage his enemies face to face. He can even cut through dimensions

Because of his fighting style he is often viewed as a mentor to Asta. He teaches Asta how to be better and is always challenging him to be better.

Yami is a great character and an amazing mentor. In the world of discrimination Yami stands as the pillar of acceptance and equality. His rough and hot headed behavior is perfectly complimented by his warm heart. He deeply cares about his crew and will often make sure they are safe even at the cost of his own life.
First scenes just how powerful Yami is.

General Ouki
Great General Ou ki, was one of the six Great Generals of Qin. The "Monstrous Bird of Qin" as he was widely known to the world.

Ouki later plays the role of mentor to Shin, the protagonist of the Story. Is mainly responsible for turning the brute into a Leader/General he is today. Even in the final moments, he taught greatest of lessons to Shin about what it meant to be a Great General of the Heaven. As a Mentor should Ouki completly believed in Shin, left his iconic glaive in the youngster hands upon his death and to keep the flame always live.

Ouki will forever remain the Prime Role Model for Shin as he fights to be the Greatest General in Kingdom History.

FIFTH FIGHT

William Zeppeli
William Zeppeli

Synopsis:



WHO IS WILLIAM ZEPPELI?

An intricatly written and interesting character? NAY

Does he pepper his sandwhich? YAY

Does he have a really cool fucking hat? YAY

Will he punch a frog to make a point?!

ABSOLUTELY YES






William Zeppeli is a stereotypical, yet interesting take on the mentor character. He's not got anything to really set him apart from his peers in his same category, but being an early character from where most of the stereotypes comes from he's mostly forgiven.

My personal draw to this character is his unusual appearance, and his really cool hat. He's like a father figure who shows up just when you needed him to show up. He mysteriously appear in front of Jonathan Joestar after a certain event happened..


He is a master of Hamon, and was training in the art after his father and his crew became victims to the stone mask which Dio Brando just recently had used on himself to transcend humanity


After William trained Jonathan he was able to do the impossible..


on a more serious note, Zeppeli knows his stuff in and out and is able to teach Jonathan at incredible speeds to master Hamon, and giving hope to destroy the stone mask once and for all. He even sacrifices himself to make sure Jonathan lives on and will be able to care for himself. In a final act of his life, he passes on all his lifeforce and Hamon reserves to Jonathan, making him able to not defeat Dio.

But.. his legacy lives on in the shape of Ceasar Zeppeli, and not to mention the most important..

Speedwagon inherited his hat..



VOTE FOR THIS COOL HAT TO WIN.

VS

Hatake Kakashi
Kakashi Hatake stands as one of the greatest mentors for the lessons that he teaches his students. He doesnโ€™t simply train them to become stronger, he trains them to become better people. He trains them to have morals and integrity.

His greatest lesson to Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura wasnโ€™t a new technique for them to learn but a lesson of ethics and teamwork. Itโ€™s one of the most iconic lessons in all of anime: the bell test. During this test, when Naruto was tied to a stake and denied lunch, but his fellow squad mates went against orders and fed him their lunch. However, instead of punishing them for this, they passed. Kakashi left some valuable words for them: โ€œIn the ninja world, those who break the rules are scum. But those who abandon their friends are worse than scum.โ€

Kakashi passed the three main characters because they stuck together as a squad. They didnโ€™t leave Naruto to suffer from hunger. And while they broke the rules, what was more important was their teamwork. Kakashi was able to instill to them a strong moral code about putting the team before themselves for which Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura could carry into the rest of their ninja lives. This is great mentorship. Being a mentor isnโ€™t necessarily just about making your students stronger, but also giving them an ideology to follow. A good ideology that will help embark them on an honorable journey.
