Basilisk
| Kouga, all day. The Iga had no honor at all.....bunch of snakes. |
| Kouga rapes Iga. |
| Kouga to the extreme. Personally, just like the name 'Kouga' xD But the characters were awesome! |
 |
| kouga :D |
  |
| From Iga I liked Hotarubi, Yashamaru, Akeginu, and Oboro, but everyone else from that clan I hated. From Kouga, I liked Kagero, Okoi, and Gennosuke, and everyone else was okay/bad. Neutral, I guess. |
 |
| Iga, because of Yashamaru. |
| Voted neutral. Both clans had scum and good people so there's no way I could choose side. You could say I both hated them as much. Okay Kouga seemed to be more fair but only because Tenzen was pulling the strings at the Iga side. Tenzen is a bitch! I'm glad Oboro finished him (he was a very good villain tho). I thought it was weird that the clans didn't even know the primary reason for their war. Sometimes I really got the feeling they lacked some brain capacity and all they knew was war. I also kinda disliked the weird characters in this anime. Dislike is a bit exaggerated but still... That hairy guy Nenki, wtf... bobobo! FAIL :P Or that old man Rousai. Luffy in his old days? xD |
| I'm neutral. Kouga has some interesting members but the same can be said for the Iga. |
| I'm Kouga all the way. Since the first episode. I admit Yashamaru was pretty cool, but he just seemed like a pretty boy for the girls to me ><. And I despised Tenzen for killing some of my favorite characters (Jubei, Saemon). The only one I liked from Iga was Akeginu and Oboro somewhat. I thought she was too "how do i put this" childish/passive/innocent?? Hyouma was badass beyond words, and he got killed way too easily. I mean, he's been blind for a long time and knows how to fight blindly. So i refuse to believe that he wasn't capable of dodging Koshirou's Kamaitachi. For all i care he would've just dropped himself to avoid getting hit, and slash his leg or something. It just seemed to me that there wasn't anyone decent enough left from Iga to fight him except for Tenzen. But that would've ended up in Tenzen decapitating himself, healing up and getting even. And if i think about how the Kouga ninja's got killed compared to the ones from Iga, I have to say that Kouga seemed more humane in their way of killing. Shougen got stabbed multiple times by a psychotic obsessive butterfly person. Jubei got cut in freaking half. Udono got, i dunno "Snailed". Okoi was molested and stabbed with needle-hair. Ok, Gyobu died pretty normal, but how Tenzen got the chance to do so was plain filthy. Saemon, well also pretty normal, but Tenzen didn't even do it himself, he used outsiders. so yeah, easy pick imo :p MekkaGman said: And just to add to it, if oboro and gennouske werent in love/and if she was as "innocent" as she was, she would have destroyed Gennouske. Hmm I'm not so sure about that. Assuming they know each others abilities, Gennosuke could strike her down with his eyes closed. She has 0 combat abilites. And for arguments sake, say they don't know each others abilities. If he tried his Doujutsu and she her Eye of Disruption to stop him, he would've known not to use it anymore. Cause from what I've seen, looking into her eyes doesn't kill you, at least not right away. So he would've just continued fighting with just his sword. |

| I was more or less in the Kouga camp, and I'd say there was probably a bigger concentration of characters I actually liked there. At the same time though, Yashamaru and Hotarubi were in Iga, and their scenes got the bigger concentration of my tears and emotional pain. So it's kind of a tough call. Ph3n0m said: I find it funny that people are saying that the Iga are the ones with no honor. Yeah cause disguising yourself as people's lovers and friends then stabbing them in the back is so honorable. Oh and popping out of a wall when someone is just about to get a kill Sooo much honor. And everyone knows that seducing someone then killing them (2 Kogas specialize in this) is so honorable. They're ninjas. They have no honor. Don't pretend the 'good' guys are on some kind of moral High ground. YES. THANK YOU. There's seriously not a "good" or "bad" between the two ninja clans--both of them are 100% capable of fighting dirty. Gennosuke being the idealist that he is doesn't negate that. |

| Kouga at first seems more just and good, but in the end they are just plain, not realy much intreeasting ppl, The best charaters form Kouga were Okoi Seamon (although I dont like him destroyiung this anime series with his power) and Gyobu. The others died fast or were unintresting like that main salways stoic hero Gennosuke. And Iga - though at first seemed villanous turned out to be jsut more pasionate and likeable people. Even Tensen - the main antagonist - I came to like him more as a leader to his peaople than lame indecisive Gennosuke. People I liked in Iga: Tenzen - realy strong character, violent but firm, insane yet wise, cruel yet carring for his clan. Akeginu - a bit too motherly for Oboro, still one heck of a woman. I feel bad for her not finding love with Kochirou Kochirou - great chivalrous character, shamed, crippled and broken by Oboro turning on him, he is one of the most tragic characters. Yashamaru - cant say much about this guy - as short as we get to see him, he always acted cool. Even his name sounds awesome - not to mention it sound all the more sweeter in lips of incredible ... ... Hotarubi - absolutely most captivating of female characters in this series, evry shot of her was golden. Epitome of girliness, gentle, passionate, devoted to her love. I will remember her even after I forget about this seriess as a whole. Great voice acting (original japanese i mean) in the end I cant help it but support Iga. If there was Fighting RPG Game of balisisk i woudl totaly choose Yashamaru to dispose of Kouga side by side with beloved Hotarubi. |
| I think both had interesting characters, but the main difference was the leadership dynamic. The Kyouga had a very strong leader in Gennosuke and a number 2 like Gyoubu that followed him in everything. This radiated to all the Kouga. The Iga had a useless leader in Oboro and a true bastard at no. 2 in Tenzen. What Oboro did to Kochiro was unforgivable IMO. Both sides had cool and boring characters. The Iga women were very fine, and I wholeheartedly agree with Angmir up here: Hotarubi was an absolutely captivating character. The very representation of japanese beauty. |

| Kouga , fuck Tenzen. |

ruellee said: I use to like Iga more cuz the show revolves more around them, then as the episode goes on I think I prefer the Kouga. They both hate one another but the Kouga seems more acceptant of the idea of peace even though they hate the Iga and despised them, if you really observe their personality and the choice they make, you can see that they were kinda chill until the Iga started attacking them. I see alot hating on Kisaragi Saemon but tbh I kinda like him, i use to like and pity Hotarubi especially when Yashamaru died, but when she showed how much she was proud of killing the Kouga clan member and imo, the Iga are more drowned in hatred thn the Kouga, I don't feel sad at all when Hotarubi died, maybe pity a little bit, because Yashamaru wanted her to live happy without having blood in her hands. Everyone keeps talking about Hotarubi and how they hate Kouga when she died, Hotarubi is pretty maybe that's why people like her but did everyone just forgot what happened to Saemon's sister, Okoi? The Iga certainly seems the more villainous of the two. In part because while Kouga is commanded by Gennosuke who is sympathetic, Iga is commanded by the evil Tenzen. Iga also has more overtly monstrous characters, I don't see much hate for Saemon. Of the side characters he is the most developed and sympathetic. His realization and guilt after backstabbing Akeginu in 'River Of Mercy' is one of the saddest moments. |
| Shoot first, think never. |
| Kouga without a doubt. Excluding Oboro, the Iga clan members are devils and Tenzen alone makes you hate them, what bastard! |
