What nobody has mentioned the epitome of badass-- havock where ever he bestrides--legions upon legions of death he alone has caused--GUTTS?!
He has the 80s haircut! I mean c'mon--( if ) I have been folowing the series since it started--by the time it hit the 90s--my patience of GUTTS'S spikey-bangs-beverly 90210 yuppie hair style would be blowing the lid off the cauldron.
I wouldn't hate his haircut with a passion if he WASN'T the protagonist of the story.
But he is--and I have no choice but to root for him, c'mon--nobody roots for Don King (just making a point, Gut's isn't that bad--I did like his hair when it was wet and it was all down like KANEDA-STYLE in VOLUME 19 or so).
Hectate tried, but to no avail. Besides, I think most of use agree on at least a few characters. Yurius alone got plenty of votes (I'll add mine to that list).
