Spark Of Spirit

Read the novel. He's not the same character.

At all.

I saw that gif on another site after you posted and I thought this was a cheap excuse to use it, is all.

So I take it that you got to see more of BtVS, Spark?
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

A bit more of season 2, but it fell on the back-burner. Spike is definitely a good villain.

Yeah, I haven't read the Jurassic Park novel myself, but I've heard that Hammond is a real dick in it. Anyway, here are the results:

Magneto: 28 pts
Legato Bluesummers: 30 pts
Kirei Kotomine: 22 pts
Speed of Sound Sonic: 8 pts
John Hammond: 17 pts

Spike: 27 pts
Axel Gear: 12 pts
Doctor Doom: 26 pts
Vermouth: 19 pts
Gray Fox: 21 pts

Magneto, Legato, Spike and Doom move on to the second round.

Round 1, Match 15:

Monsoon (Metal Gear Rising Revengeance)



Vs

Hulk (World War Hulk)



Vs

Raven (Guilty Gear)



Vs

Captain Beaty (Fahrenheit 451)



Vs

Ahab (Moby Dick)




Round 1, Match 16:

Predator (Predator)



Vs

Renge (Rin-ne)



Vs

Garv (Slayers NEXT)



Vs

David Xanatos (Gargoyles)



Vs

Magica De Spell (Uncle Scrooge comics/DuckTales)




My votes:

Ahab: The obsessed madman whose thirst for revenge drives him and his crew into a watery grave. "From Hell's heart I stab at thee!"
Beaty
Hulk: Haven't read World War Hulk, but since I'm more familiar with him than Monsoon and Raven, he gets third place.
Monsoon
Raven

Xanatos
Magica
Garv
Predator
Renge

I'll have to skip match 15 since I don't know three of those villains, but I'd expect Ahab will move on anyway.

Here are the results (note: There was a tie, so I had Magica and Garv switch places on my list):

Moonsoon: 16 pts
Hulk: 13 pts
Raven: 12 pts
Captain Beaty: 21 pts
Ahab: 29 pts

Predator: 21 pts

Garv: 20 pts
David Xanatos: 34 pts
Magica De Spell: 20 pts

Captain Beaty, Ahab, Predator and Xanatos move on to the next round.


Round 1, Match 17:

Happosai (Ranma 1/2)



Vs

Hans Gruber (Die Hard)



Vs

Hell Master Phibrizzo (Slayers NEXT)



Vs

Squealer (From the New World)



Vs

Tony Soprano (The Sopranos)




Round 1, Match 18:

Gauron (Full Metal Panic!)



Vs

Bakura (Yu-Gi-Oh!)



Vs

Scarecrow (DC)



Vs

Ryoko Mendou (Urusei Yatsura)



Vs

Danger (Astonishing X-Men)



------------

My votes:

Tony
Squealer: Hands down one of the best, most well-written antagonists I've seen in an anime. Squealer is both a heroic figure, fighting to liberate his people from an oppressive system, as well as a scheming, genocidal megalomaniac. He manages to engender several conflicted emotions from me when I watched From the New World; from distrust, to loathing, to admiration and even sympathy, which is the hallmark not only of a great villain but a great character as well.
