Gar Fest 2009

I don't give a shit that it's a joke, an hero yourself right fucking now...

All the GAR in this thread even rejected the pic you posted, that says it all.

Shinji Ikari does not exist in my book of GAR. And he also reminds me of Kira Yamato, who would be the same if Kira didn't kick ass at destroying gundams.

Lol, better reactions than I had hoped. :P

The fucking GREAT TEACHER ONIZUKA better be on this list. He used to be the leader of one of the baddest gangs in Japan until he turned to teaching more-or-less because he wants to marry a high school girl. Instead he gets put in charge of one of the most notorious classes and has to win the respect of the students.

Don't pick on this teacher at school... He gets revenge.

I am nominating Char Aznable, from Mobile Suit Gundam, Z Gundam, and Char's Counterattack.



The man ends up being the best MS pilot in Zeon (and second only to Amuro) at the age of 20. At one point, he single-handedly takes down five Federation battleships, earning himself the nickname of Red Comet. Almost all of his mobile suits are colored red to reflect this, making him easy to spot on the battlefield and showing all that he is a badass motherfucker.

I could go on, but come on - no one needs to be persuaded. Char may not be the most GAR anime guy in history, but I'm certainly gay for him, and I bet you are, too. He deserves to be in this competition.

All of his mobile suits go faster; they are red.

I love you both

I'm sure he fits into the Gar character type. I can't find a good video of him, that's the best one that I can find though I do agree he kinda acts like a bastard in the video but that is just him showing how determined he is in fighting his enemy. I appreciated that you took the time to watch the video to determine his garness.

The video only show a small part of the fighting with the so called 'godly beings'. In the full fight all of the pilots have been pushed towards the point of exhaustion considering how much they fight and killed their opponents they kept coming back but Ryoma doesn't give up until one or the other falls. Also he have this famous quote that's memorable to mecha fans.

"If there's a hole it's a mans job to thrust into it."

I approve, also don't forget to mention his participation in Gundam Zeta.

really?







really?

the definition of gar is vague at best. spike wins the award for sure suave, hes like the james bond of bounty hunters. you can bet your ass there would have been hentai scenes in cowboy bebop if watanabe didnt have to pick and choose his values on THE BEST ANIME OF ALL TIME.

but when we're talking true gar, gutz and kamina have no competition. i see people have choosen their nominees due to leadership skills or a distinguishing achievement but that aint gar, thats little more then respectable. these men take the gold because they single handedly defied an omnipotent power by any means necessary. gutz cut a path to victory through his maimed foes and kamina... fuck, i dont even need to comment on his garness. if you can swoon voluptuous yoko solely on gar, your something else.

i dont know whether to be happy or irritated that my originated avatar was used for this threads image. i can only imagine this started before i changed it though lol

>>; sorry to point this out but you pretty much contradicted yourself in the exact same paragraph...

Manliness or Gar, is a quality that makes you look like someone that people can depend on, its instinctual that the "male" of the family can be someone who is reliable and is less likely to run for his own skin when they are in danger.

Being a good leader, and having distinguishing achievements qualifies in the "dependable" section, as you know that if they do stand up to the face of danger, they wont drop within seconds, Loyalty and bravery qualifies for manliness as it shows they will not run in the face of danger just to save themselves. Having strong principles and a strong will makes them more reliable as they will not easily be phazed by non-physical threats. At the very least, this is my understanding of it all, there are other qualities that determine garness as well, but these are the points you seem to be neglecting.

archer was nominated...

uh huh, by someone with gilgamesh avatar.

I have one person in mind, although i bet a lot of people here don't really know him.
Slayer from Guilty Gear.

Also called Nightwalker, Noble One, hax (until he got nerfed in GG^AC)
Lord of vampires and the founder of the Assassin Guild, he has lived longer than human civilization. After a long time he came back to the human world to kill the former Guild leader Eddie (Zato-1), then he disbanded the Assassin Guild, calmed down the berserked Commander Gear Dizzy, helped The International Police Force by exposing fake bounty lists spread by the Post War Administration Bureau, kicked I-no's bitch ass, had some reunion fight with an old friend (Sol Badguy), then he went back to his mansion to have some afternoon tea with his wife, all in one day. And he did them all because he was bored.

For power comparison, Sol Badguy can destroy a flying fortress with one shot and he played around with him like having a sparring match. Dizzy's Gamma Ray can obliterate an entire army and he blocked it with his bare hands. And I-no was the one who knocked Dizzy out and switched on her berserk mode.
Sorry I can't explain well, you really have to play the game to know the full story of his GARness and his awesome quotes.

no, you describe him, it's not our job to prove your point for you... so far nothing has really shown us GAR like behavior/attitude... Immortality is less GAR than being able to die and doing so without fear.

Edited, but like I said before, you should play the game yourself not also because of laziness but also because of names and events in the game that you need to know to understand my explanation. That, and my English is bad >_>

so to be able to understand his GARness I need to play the game? sorry but that's ridiculous, you can't expect everyone to play the game simply because you can't explain his GARness yourself.

I said that because i'm not confident with my English. Well good thing if you can understand my explanation.
