The Bride (Kill Bill) vs. Hitokiri Battousai (OAV)

[Vendetta]

Actually, I guess the Kenshin OVAs could be partial inspiration for Kill Bill, considering the copious amounts of blood that sprays in it.

Try Lone Wolf and Cub. Especially the movie adaptations of it.

I want to see the Bride wheeling out the stolen child in a babycart at the end of vol 2. I may cry if this does not happen

[The Yosemite Bear]

yes
but the pram of death and destruction must be completly decked out in weapons

[ShinjiGohan]

Til Kenshin finished his training with Hiko, he was still WEAKER than the OAV Kenshin. But they displayed is abilities differently in the OAV to give it a more realistic look and feel to it.

Til Kenshin was retrained by Hiko, TV series Kenshin loses badly to OAV Kenshin. About as badly as TV Kenshin was losing to Saitou in ep 31, that is til he transformed back into his former self and then suddenly was doing much better.

Anyway I haven't seen Kill Bill so I haven't the foggest idea on whp's better, though I still have a hunch that Kenshin would win, I just can't say that as a valid opinion with only having half the data needed to come to a solid conclusion.

[ShinjiGohan]

Having seen Kill Bill now, I've come to the conclusion that Kenshin would kill her with little trouble.

Aside from cutting someones sword, she never did anything that impressive.

Though that was an insane amount of blood.

Since I don't know who Kenshin is I vote for the Bride, she kicks ass and is easy on the eyes.

I don't normally do this, but your post was ass-bleedingly stupid. If you don't know who Kenshin is, then stay the fuck out of the discussion.

At any rate, I've seen Kill Bill twice now. The Bride is okay at best, but not unstoppable. She did nothing that couldn't be learned within the first year of Kendo classes. Any well-trained swordsman could take her. I venture to say that she couldn't even beat Yahiko.

[ShinjiGohan]

I was gonna say burn, but look at the people that he's beat, thats hardly a put down, especially if you go by the later Yahiko at the end of the manga.

[The Yosemite Bear]

Fuck that, they would both have to bow before the "Pram of Death, Destruction & great ass kicking"

[Shinigami]

Fuck that, they would both have to bow before the "Pram of Death, Destruction & great ass kicking"

What?!?!??

Oviously you didn't read the previous statements about how it's got a lot of refrences to "Lone Wolf & Cub" including the live action version. Since at the end of the Manga Lonewolf's caracteristic "Baby Cart" is so decked out and armed it's not funny. The fact that the little kid inside that cart is a skilled wielder of said weapons is even scaryier.

Thus Lone Wolf & Cub are refered within the Fantasy forum as the "Pram of Death and Destruction"
