Topic: As I was watching Rurouni Kenshin last night...

Hello, my mushy friend...

I realised, Vash and Kenshin are really fucking similar, you know?

Both are experts in their particular field of combat (Vash being a masterful marksman and gunfighter, Kenshin being a superb swordsman) who do not kill and fight to protect others. Kenshin uses a reverse-edged sword that doesn't cut and doesn't kill, Vash uses a pistol in defense but is known to use rubber bullets and known to deliberately 'miss' a fatal shot to instead incapacitate his foe.

Therefor, one anime series is definitely ripping off the other and the two must fight it out in a deathmatch to decide who can be the pansy-boy who refuses to kill.

WHO WINS?

I like Vash better, so he wins.

Doughnuts, interesting facial expressions, cool guns, and screaming "LOVE AND PEACE" > Saying "That he does."

Although I find both characters amusing, I'm more inclined to root for Kenshin. If it were Wolfwood, however, it would be a different story. Also, Kenshin's mannerisms and dialogue are very similar to Drizzt Do'Urden's. That's gotta give him some credit.
There's a King on a throne with his eyes torn out.
There's a Blind Man looking for a shadow of doubt.
There's a Rich Man sleeping on a golden bed.
There's a Skeleton choking on a crust of bread.

I realized the same thing after watching a few episodes. It seems like a pretty solid way to have a main character; give him the power to kill anything but make him a pacifist.

Guns would definitely beat swords. Vash tends to have a little more luck in battle, too.

Vash would win.

But, in this fight, the point is to be the one that does NOT kill. The winner would be the one that dies. Vash wins, so Vash dies. And that would suck.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

Wow your only the 5000th person to have pointed that out. Of course they aren't just carbon copies of each other with different weapons of choice. Vash dosen't kill because he is try to maintain a philosphy and memory of someone he loved very dearly. Kenshin doesn't kill because he is trying to make amends for slaughter countless warriors in his life. I mean besides the fact that they have very different allies, villians, fighting styles, philosphy to deal with, technlogy levels, and planets, then yeah they are the same.

wtf, having watched both, I liked Kenshin better than Vash. Vash is cool, but he's like omfg retarded half the time, which is why it turned me off half the time. It's like a freaking split personality.

At least Kenshin it's sorta goofy, but it's like...believable and stuff, and he fights when he has too.


Vash would win, because he has guns, while Kenshin does not.

Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

How many of you guys have seen the whole thing?

I don't think a lot of you have ANY idea of just how good Kenshin is.

He is THE BEST.

He beats Shishio while basically dead Kenshin would win. I love Vash, I love Trigun, but Vash would be destroyed.

I think it depends on the writer.

If OP wrote it, we know how it would end.

It's not something people hear about.
