delinquent after being set straight by
star platinum

number nine kikuchiyo samurai seven then
samurai strong cyborgs super-strong so
you’d expect a cyborg samurai to be the
strongest of the lot but instead he
spends most of the series as a lovable
buffoon
but that’s not to say he doesn’t have
his day due to his former life as a
farmer this mechanized warrior shares a
strong bond with the peasants of Cana
and does his best to protect them his
heart is as big as his sword and even
when the situation is that it’s bleakest
he promises to marry the young Comanche
when she grows older this makes it
sacrifice all the more heartbreaking as
the capital comes crashing down uses all
of its strength to divert it just enough
so the village is destroyed domo arigato
mr. Roboto number eight Bernhard Wiseman
Mobile Suit Gundam war in the pocket
they’re gonna ruin my business you know

Petersen if there’s one thing the Gundam
series likes to hammer into our heads
it’s that war is beyond tragic I didn’t
come all this way to be hassled by some
stupid kid Bernie was recruited by the
Principality of Zeon’s a fight against
the earth federation as during this
conflict that bernie meets christina
mckenzie a beautiful woman who is
unbeknownst to him the pilot of myths
Gundam Alex upon learning the Zeon plans
to nukes I’d six Bernie rushes out to
try and capture the Alex in an attempt
to prevent disaster
a fierce clash between the two results
in Bernie’s death and the worst part of
it is that neither of them view they
were fighting the other I also wanted to
say goodbye to Bernie but I won’t have a
chance so will you say goodbye to him
for me better yet just tell him I said
hi okay number seven greed Full Metal
Alchemist Brotherhood well let’s get
this casual chitchat I’m more interested
in hearing what it’s like to have a body
that’ll never die
you wouldn’t expect the homunculus
grete’s have a heroic sacrifice
considering he has a habit of causing
trouble sorry but your friend just
checked out and left greed this body sue
you’re not winged did he say Creed
however during the final battle with the
leader of the homunculus father the
unexpected becomes a reality as father
begins to weaken he tries to absorb
greed and uses for loss of a stone to
surprisingly greed severs his connection
to link so that he does not get dragged
in as well this leads to him using his
own abilities from the inside to give
the heroes he fighting chance
unfortunately in doing so he leaves
thank you and goodbye by Francis number
six minato and Kushina Naruto Shippuden
it’s well documented within the Naruto
series that the power of the nine tailed
fox is one hell of a force but just how
did it get sealed into the spunky ninja
surely after giving birth to her son
Kushina is captured by a masked man who
extracts the nine tails within her in
order to destroy Konoha having no other
choice
the two parents resolved to seal the
demon within their child after both
acting as a shield against the nine

number five port ganz D ace one piece on
Judah needed auditor Thor more children
may attain all though not related by
blood ace always acted as Luffy’s
reliable all the brother but his true
lineage does cause him a few problems
says his father was none other than gold
Roger himself ranking ace as one of the
he’s eventually captured and sentenced
to execution and although Luffy managed
to free him ace ultimately sacrificed
himself to protect his defenseless
it’s a moment so devastating the even
Luffy’s unwavering optimism was
shattered number 4 piccolo Dragonball Z
we don’t have time for this
there’s something particularly
tear-jerking about a former villain
tinning good and sacrificing himself so
that another could live besides without
a rival to fight I wouldn’t have much to
do you seem to fit that role nicely
although originally rivals piccolo sees
something in Goku Son Gohan and takes it
upon himself to train the young Saiyan
after his father dies you slept long
enough now wake up kid it’s time to
start your training when nappa and
Vegeta finally arrive on earth and do in
most of the sea fighters the heroes give
it everything they’ve got to store the
Saiyans until Goku contain the tide of
battle naturally it’s not enough and
Gohan is left wide open for Napa’s
counter-attack
only for piccolo to do something quite
unbecoming of a demon king
[Music]
you should never underestimate the old
as the 12th chairman of the hunters
Association Isaac might be getting up
there in years but he’s no slouch when
it comes to combat while he mostly takes
a back seat in the Ilia part of this
series it’s during the Chimera ant ant
that he finally comes out to play might
order a turn everybody knows sweetie he
ends up in combat with a chimera ant
king Marin and manages to match him
blow-for-blow with no other means to put
an end to the Kings villainy he trades
his own life to release an explosion
containing deadly poison
now but to enter yeah Shiki inuyasha
shiki just do you know you guys 9 huh oh
boy this is a rough one it isn’t every
day you get an anime with a timid
salaryman as the super-powered
protagonist mister Annina she can
finally got a shot at being a hero when
his body was replaced by one stacked
with every kind of sci-fi weapon
imaginable though who was able to get
him through the battles with shisha
gummy a new threat emerged in the form
of a giant asteroid headed to earth yeah
Kerala Oommen and despite his promise to
come back to his family alive he
realizes the only way to save mankind is
to activate his self-destruct ability
[Music]
number one Catan Gurren Lagann he and I
have to settle something with our fists
idle attention I’m afraid playtime’s
over kids when Catan was first
introduced as the leader of the black
siblings
he acted more like a rifle to come inna
than anything else and even matches his
level of confidence I’d say that’s
pretty damn obvious yeah who the hell
but later he became one of Siemens most
trusted allies and does his best to make
sure that team die Guren succeeds when
the team is trapped within the dense
space see produced by the death spiral
machine guitar goes headfirst into the
abyss to help them escape despite
knowing the obvious outcome I ain’t
saying no showy crap like later buddy or
something lame like that
I’ll be seeing you soon you bozos
instead of tears he goes out with a
banner speech and his own version of the
Giga draw break the team is saved and
katana is cemented as one of the
greatest heroes in anime so this is the
power of the spiral not bad not bad at
all do you agree with our picks check
