Hey guys, what's your top 5 or 10 most badass characters. Mine would be:

5. Himura Kenshin, Rurouni Kenshin ( Really badass, or at least, the Battoussai in him)

4. Minato Namikaze, Naruto ( Incredibly strong but mild-mannered which makes it even better)

3. Yamajii, Bleach ( Old but ruthless and unforgiving in a battle)

2. King Bradley, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood ( he wasn't so cool in the original FMA series)

1. Alucard, Hellsing (This guy probably has the most intimidating presence in an anime)

Moderator Edit:
Please explain your choices and/or discuss other choices. This is not a simple listing thread.

1 Kenshiro (The one true king of badassery and manliness.)

2 Chirico (cold faced killer with superhuman luck)

3 Paul von Oberstein (Dogs eat dog food)

4 Walter von Schenkopp (Young man, do you have a girlfriend?)

5 Guts (need I say more)

Also mentions to Motoko Kusanagi, Alita, Alucard, and pretty much anyone from JJBA.

1. Himura Battousai in Rurouni Kenshin (I don't think Kenshin as being OrO is badass at all lol)
2. Saito in Rurouni Kenshin
3. Light in Death Note
4. Riki in Ginga Nagareboshi Gin
5. Sesshomaru in Inuyasha

And I'm sure this list will change in one day haha.

1. Kirito, because he's a noob stomper, which makes him pro.
2. Naruto, believe it.
3. Kurosu... whatever Ichigo, because he got a big sword.
4. Sasuke, because he's so cool and he's original, Kurapika is a Sasuke wanna be.
5. Asuna, Because she can fight, and cook. Perfect combo.

Mugi and Mai actually are pretty badass

In all seriousness:

1. Spike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop)
2. Ladd Russo (Baccano)
3. Kamina (Gurren Lagann)
4. Simon (Gurren Lagann)
5. Lelouch Vi Britannia (Code Geass)

Lelouch is only fifth because he looks effeminate.

5. Roy Mustang - FMA - burning his own wound to cover stop the bleeding was pretty hardcore.

4. Balalaika - Black Lagoon - most badass woman ever...

3. Lord Genome - TTGL - fightinc a mech with his own two hands, enough said.

2. Zoro - One Piece - let's see, where do we start. Cutting his own wound to provide his cowardly opponent with a handicap; facing the strongest swordsman in a fight and not backing down or running away when it's clear he is going to lose and facing the final blow head-on; buying a cursed sword whose every other owner has died, which made him only like the sword more; after having his feet trapped, thinking of cutting them off, so that he can fight, not run away; after suffering a lot of damage, taking all of the damage Luffy has suffered onto him and not saying anything at all about it etc, etc. I probably forgot a lot more legendary badass feats, but that's just the way Zoro is - it will take a while to list them all.

1. Guts - Berserk - The undisputed king of badass...

There are a lot more characters which I have forgotten to mention but those five are some of the best.

5. Hei (Darker than Black) He is badass and could square off with any ninja in Naruto.

4. Kisuke Urahara (Bleach) Coolest character in that anime. Hand to hand fighting: 10. Sword play: 10.

3. Gildarts Clive (Fairy Tail) When he gets serious he could pwn anyone without even touching them.

2. Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) A close second. Funny reliable and strong. Definitely amazing.

1. Usui Takumi (Kaichou wa Maid-sama) He just screams BADASS! Wins at whatever he does and never has any trouble doing it. Funny reliable strong AND romantic. Won by a hair. But he's the best.

Kotomine Kirei(Fate/stay night)
Tohno Shiki(Tsukihime)
Kamijou Touma(Index)
Zoro(One Piece)
Emiya Shirou(Fate/stay night)

Actually there is no top 5 since I don't really care if a character is badass, but these are just people I thought of without thinking too seriously.

5. Kenji Murasame, Giant Robo (He's immortal, that is all I need to say)
4. Souske Sagara, Full Metal Panic (His stoicism cannot be phased)
3. Kenshiro, Hokuto no Ken (You are already dead, also mostly stoic except in certain situations. And dose steroids.)
2.Char Aznable, UC timeline Gundam (He's the fucking Red Comet)

3) Alex Armstrong (Fullmetal Alchemist) - His mustache... enough said...
4) Goku (Dragonball) - KaMeHaMeHA!!
5) Kenpachi (Bleach) - Fights an opponent with one hand, realize he's losing by a bit, uses 2 hands instead, wins... twice.

2.)Gilgamesh(fate/zero): Who doesn't love a badass, egoistic god who kicks ass like a boss?
1.) Kamina(TTGL): The guy is the definition of badass. everything he says sounds more epic than all of the serious speeches of the people above combined. Heck, you make the guy read a thesis and he'll make it sound like an announcement from god.

Gonna throw some names I haven't seen yet to strike new potentials, and reiterate some obviously irrefutable motherfuckers. In order of badassery:

1. Ergo Proxy (Vincent) - Ergo Proxy
2. Fuhrer King Bradley (No fucking shit) - FMA: Brotherhood
3. Shinobu Sensui - Yu Yu Hakusho
4. Jinno/Kuma - Afro Samurai
5. Odin - Kenichi: The Mightiest Dicsiple

-On that note; other notable badasses, yes, Saito - Rurouni Kenshin, absolutely Hei - Darker Than Black (as well as Havoc I might add), Toguro - Yu Yu Hakusho (One terrifying mofo), Pride - FMA: Brotherhood, Choji Suitengu - Speed Grapher (Sephiroth much?), and Justice - Afro Samurai (Any anime character voiced by Ron Perlman is automatically a BA)

Anyone else tend to favor villains? They chill me to core more effectively than protagonists are able to.

For all five. Why? Because King Bradley is one of those truly badass characters that doesn't come off as forced (cough cough* Alucard, Revy). In all of his fights he's pretty much in control and even makes his opponent feel like shit that they can't take down an old man. He has those crazy eye powers that make him near invincible and totally takes down a tank with just a sword and grenade.

1. Mugen (Samurai Champloo) - A break dancing samurai? Oh yes.
2. Gintoki (Gintama) - If you saw the newest episode of Gintama today, you would wholeheartedly agree with me.
3. Light (Death Note) - A spiral into insanity, but still an impressive, badass character.
4. Morgiana (Magi) - Look at those kicks.
5. Michiko Malandro (Michiko e Hatchin) - Got to love this badass lady and I love every single fight she gets into.

This...is an awesome thread! And oh, man! What a tough challenge. Lesse.....

1) Miria (Claymore). You can't touch her...literally.
2) Claire Stanfield (Baccano!) Fear for your life if you break his warped code of honor.
3) Youko (Junni Kokki). Sure, she starts up as a wimp, but where she ends up and how she gets there is pretty freaking impressive.
4) Kaneda (Akira). His motorcycle jump kick will leave you with no teeth.
5) Sebastian (Kuroshitsuji). His ass is actually bad.
