anime heroes I'm going to destroy you
completely this time as you can imagine

and have chosen to lean more towards the
classics please don't hate us we're on
your side we promised and so our story
begins number 10
Sailor Moon Sailor Moon Wow fun on my
Chris Cole again I did Serena darling
three times and each time you said you
were getting up right away and you
believed me one of the first female
protagonists in mainstream
anime Sailor Moon is the alter ego of
schoolgirl Serena - Kino I think I'll
take a nap before showing my mom my
great a lazy day dreamer with an
enormous heart she spends her days
sleeping eating yearning for the
affection of that oh so hunky Tuxedo
Mask do not be afraid
I will fight with you and being the de
facto leader of the Sailor Scouts she
may be a bit of an airhead but she
always puts the good of others before
herself and can sure kick ass even in a
short skirt Chiara
number nine spike Spiegel Cowboy Bebop
he is the definition of cool yeah I hear
that a lot this planet hopping bounty
hunter is a crew member aboard the
starship Eva and a former member of the
red dragon crime syndicate do you know
how much you're worth
what 2.5 million woolongs that's your
bounty I said you were a small fry
throwing away his criminal background
for the love of a taking woman I've got
my reasons so don't take it personal
he's both a wisecracking badass and
contemplate ER on what it means to be
truly alive being voiced by Steven Blum
doesn't hurt either I just want to ask
you one thing
what's that is it for the girl she's
dead there's nothing I can do for her
now
number eight Kenshin Himura rurouni
kenshin
not a minute here Duchess Mui Meena
seshu Okinawa another example of a
killer turned hero
Kenshin was a legendary swordsman and
assassin known as the manslayer
but he turned his back on his killing
ways while wandering Japan offering his
sword to those in need of protection he
encounters multiple friends and even a
few ex enemies who teach him that he's
worthy of atonement and to conquer the
killer's nature inside him
Kazuo kinkaku sadhana ko mu konasana no
kokoro novel Illinois mr. Salman you
Ichigo quality oh come on
item number 7 Inuyasha Inuyasha now that
that's out of my system half dog demon
half human put it all together and what
do you get a sword wielding hybrid who
knows how to take care of business
waiting for me to become a demon at last
originally wanting nothing more than to
become a full demon his human heart
trumped his selfish desires leading him
to fall for the modern-day schoolgirl he
vowed to protect fighting through feudal
Japan to recover fragments of the sacred
jewel Inuyasha can be both cold and rude
yet heartfelt and compassionate don't
worry Kagome I'll save you I promise
plus he makes us laugh whenever we see
this happen sick boy number six
Lieutenant Colonel Roy Mustang Full
Metal Alchemist and Full Metal Alchemist
Brotherhood so how the Elric's doing you
keeping those boys out of trouble I'm
their commanding officer not their
father also known as the flame Alchemist
Rai Mustang is a character almost as
beloved as the show central protagonist
while initially depicted as a careerist
and a womanizer as I recall you were
crying over me shame I don't get to see
that softer side of you more often the
last thing I'm gonna do is start crying
for you now
the lieutenant colonel cares deeply for
his subordinates and countrymen
congratulations you've just officially
become a dog of the military ideals he
gained as a soldier during the ishbal
Civil War after being forced to commit
atrocities using his flame alchemy he
vowed to become his nation's next leader
while he may be arrogant he's got the
ironclad loyalty of his fellow state
alchemists and some hot moves to back up
his talk
number five Naruto Uzumaki Naruto
talk about a rough childhood after
having a powerful demon sealed inside of
him Naruto was a social outcast in the
shinobi village he grew up in but that
didn't stop him from pursuing his dream
of becoming the village leader to gain
the respect and admiration of those who
once shunned him
Naruto's growth as both a ninja and a
human can be seen throughout the series
Sasuke as the bonds of friendship he
forges make his dream worth fighting for
I'm gonna kill you you must take my
zanpakuto and run it through to the
center of your being so that I may pour
my powers into you
number four ichigo kurosaki bleach thank
you for coming to my defense I think now
I'll finally be able to rest peacefully
you'd think that being born with the
ability to see ghosts would be enough
but not for this high school bruiser
after a fateful encounter with a
Shinigami ichigo gains the power of a
god of death now go and apologize or
else the next time the flowers will be
for you
and is tasked with defending his home
from the malicious spirits known as
hollows you pay the price for hurting my
family you hollow stump feel the wrath
of my place
as his seemingly endless battle
stretches to other planes of existence
and some truly frightening enemies this
orange haired swordsman will keep
fighting no matter what
are you gonna how are you number three
monkey D Luffy one piece my name's
monkey d Luffy hi out of all the shown
in anime heroes this straw headed rubber
man takes our vote with the dream of
grabbing the title of Pirate King Luffy
is a man who thinks with his stomach and
fists rather than his head like you've
got a run if those guys come back here
with their buddies and they'll kill you
with a spoon I don't care about that hug
always in the pursuit of adventure this
happy-go-lucky guy may be the last
person you consider when you think
pirate captain but you'd be wrong
Oh
you mess with Lupe's crew and he'll
declare war on the entire world to save
them
ah
ha
number two Edward Elric Full Metal
Alchemist and Full Metal Alchemist
Brotherhood you know there might be a
way we could bring mom back but I
thought it said in all the books that
using alchemy to make people as
something you're not supposed to do ever
Edward learned the true meaning of
sacrifice when he and his brother
Alphonse tried resurrecting their
deceased mother resulting in the loss of
his limbs and his brothers body ever
since he's been on a mission to correct
his mistake for the sake of his sibling
the last thing I expected to find was a
boy skilled enough to attempt human
transmutation or advanced enough to bond
a soul to a suit of armor a gripping
funny and fully realized character with
strong morals and endless love for his
family and friends and proves even a
small guy can be a badass and save the
world
rock on full metal
you
before we unleash our top pick here are
a few honorable mentions and prove I'm
not ready by the scrap pile
it's Lisa that was a great race you Ryan
speed you beat us fair and square
you're the best driver I've ever seen
speed hi thanks sue
number one Goku the Dragonball franchise
Kakarot what's wrong I was hoping for a
more interesting fight you'll get one I
promise
was it that obvious yeah sorry we have
watchmojo.com love our Dragonball and
apparently so do you guys but hey what's
not to like
while Goku may be dim he cares for all
living things
in the universe I have everything I
could ever want right here on earth
good thing too considering he constantly
has to save it hahaha I keep forgetting
the journaling now you don't even have a
tail do you ass and who is raised on
earth Goku is the super-strength Kaioken
flying kamehameha blasting defender of
good that we can all rally behind
simple yet brilliant and that's why he's
our number one pick I think it's finally
over
