1. Ryoko Hakubi (Tenchi Muyo! series)
Like Dragon Ball's Bardock, they would have to pick a canon or if they consider compositing her. Ryoko is among the most powerful beings. She has a good variety of abilities with the fastest spaceship that's also her pet. In most canons obsessed with Tenchi to a fault. Ryoko was a famous huge bounty space pirate. Scaling going to make it difficult to find her a decent matchup.
2. Trafalgar D. Water Law (One Piece)
Law has one of the most unique devil fruit powers. It almost counts as a composite devil fruit power due to similar abilities. He's also the main doctor within his pirate crew. Law has a surprisingly sad backstory even for an One Piece character. Along with scaling his powers makes finding a decent match difficult. At the same time, you already in for a great Death Battle episode.
3. Gabimaru (Hell's Paradise)
I would love Hell's Paradise be added to their long list of franchises. Gabimaru is a rather interesting ninja character. He was sentenced to death but ends up going on a mission from the shogun. He was the best his clan had to offer sounds familiar? I'm sure there's some interesting matchups with him. It's a shame Hell's Paradise is this under the radar for people.
4. Kafka Hibino (Kaiju No. 8)
I haven't gotten into this yet but the concept by itself was interesting. The protagonist ends up swallowing a small creature to gain the ability to transform into a giant monster. I felt there's some interesting matchups they could do. Personally it would be nice if Kafka gets on the show soon. People that loves destruction you're getting plenty of that here.
5. Vash the Stampede (Trigun)
Vash lived a long live with a huge bounty. Despite things still a very decent person. Easily among the best shooters with a secret railgun ability. Vash been through all kind of situations. I know he has some interesting matchups. I actually felt they could do a lot with the character. More than what some people expecting from the team.
6. Father Abel Nightroad (Trinity Blood)
This guy has some strong similarities with Vash the Stampede. But imagine an vampire that feasts on other vampires. Sorta like those creatures in Blade 2 movie but somehow worst. Like Hellsing's Alucard, he owns for an organization to hunt vampires. He also has a power percentage system to keep things interesting.
7. Seras Victoria (Hellsing)
Seras always been among my favorite Hellsing characters. She was saved by Alucard to serve the Hellsing Organization to hunt vampires. She's widely known using very heavy weapons. I felt she has some interesting matches. Seras going to be amazing especially in 3D animation. I also felt they could do a lot with her as well.
8. Evangelion Unit-01 (Neon Genesis Evangelion)
There's a few franchises that plays on the same twist. The protagonists wear or pilot controlled variation of the very creatures they're facing. But what I loved about this particular one is this controlled monster actually a giant. This monster can be rather violent to the pilot's dislike. Despite a notable power issue, this thing can be terrifying.
9. King Bradley (Fullmetal Alchemist)
It's difficult to pick one Fullmetal Alchemist character for this. But I strongly felt King Bradley was the most interesting choice. He's one of the homunculi that ruled an country. Essentially that country's greatest warrior in history. Representing Wrath, Bradley quickly proven to be quite challenging. Also the story itself is what also helps makes him interesting.
10. Yoshikage Kira (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)
To clarify I'm talking about the original timeline version of the character. He was the main antagonist of Part 4 that was quite terrifying. By the end of Part 4, Kira had some crazy abilities that's difficult to counter. I'm well aware of a particular matchup people wants. Although they easily got other options with some being nearly as interesting.
11. Kenpachi Zaraki (Bleach)
I know what a tall order to go for such a character!!! Kenpachi is among the strongest soul reapers in existence. Even during a long period not properly using his powers still maintain his position. Kenpachi is easily among the greatest fighters of his universe. Of course, it's quite difficult to find him a decent matchup not Sukuna lol.
12. Rimuru Tempest (That Time I Get Reincarnated as a Slime)
A weird beginning to a story that's actually a new trend. The protagonist unexpectedly dies then somehow gets reincarnated as something else in another world. In this case, he became an slime that ended up dramatically changing the world. It's like trying to find a needle in a huge haystack regarding decent matchups.
13. Fuma Monou (X)
Another unexpected choice from me I confess. There's a few versions of the same story. In every version, the Dragons of the Earth are trying to destroy the world. The Dragons of the Heaven are protectors of the world. Unfortunately, Kamui being the chosen one actually chose for two people. Fuma gotten the short end of the stick leading to an epic conclusion.
14. Hisoka (Hunter x Hunter)
There's some interesting characters to choose from. But I always been quite interested in Hisoka. Easily one of the greatest written Shonen villain characters in history. He has a rivalry with the protagonist Gon. He lives to fight the strongest with such an unusual fighting style. Obviously trying to find him a decent matchup virtually pulling teeth pun very intended!!!
15. Noelle Silva (Black Clover)
Easily one of the most interesting Black Clover characters. Noelle struggled having powerful magic for a long time. But she sure doesn't hold back during fights. She somehow made water manipulation the greatest thing ever!!! I really felt they could do so much with her on the show. Right now picking a decent opponent is the one big issue.
16. Kenshin Himura (Rurouni Kenshin)
This might be difficult to believe. Kenshin still among my favorite Shonen protagonists to date. He was a legendary assassin that attempted to live the rest of his life in peace. Heavily inspired by a particular era in Japan's history. There's such incredible depth in Kenshin's character. I really would love him to get on the show soon.
17. Hades (Saint Seiya)
Despite not fully gotten into the franchise. When I looked up Hades I was instantly mind blown!!! Now here's an insanely powerful manga villain. People need to realize there do exist several manga franchises more powerful than Dragon Ball. But also Hades would bring a lot to the show. Of course, trying to find a decent opponent going to be quite an challenge.
18. Younger Toguro (Yu Yu Hakusho)
I always was interested seeing Younger Toguro on their show. Mainly due to his body muscle manipulation. This by itself makes some of his possible opponents more interesting by default. He also had a decent story with a surprising twist following his demise. They also could do a lot with the character.
19. Death the Kid (Soul Eater)
One of Lord Death's sons, Death the Kid uses two weapon partners that's both women. There's some interesting design choices with the character especially wielding guns the way he does. He's also among the strongest beings in his universe. There's some rather interesting choices he could be facing. I actually felt the story itself speaks volumes about the character.
20. Clare (Claymore)
Clare is a rather unique case even for her species. She joined the organization to hunt down monsters. She actually wanted revenge against a former number 2 that became a monster herself. She ended up being a very interesting character not often showing emotions. Well outside of combat that is. I would love to see her on the show eventually.
I named twenty anime characters across twenty anime/manga franchises. Honestly, there's so many anime/manga characters I wanna see. I easily could do an follow up post in the near future just not anytime soon. I felt the web show still has much ground to cover. Plus more anime fan service can go a long way.
