Leader of the Band of Seven

[Yuliya Dukhkin']

Recently, as I have finished reading the manga and are now watching the anime, I think I have a new all-time favorite character.

Bankotsu. (Leader of the band of seven)

Here

And yes, I really think he is my favorite of all favorites.

Yes, I know he's an un-dead, homicidal maniac, but he's just really cool! So cool, in fact, that I'm basing a character off him in one of my stories (He's not going to be un-dead or as homicidal.)

Does anyone else have a really odd favorite character, or, even better, does anyone else also really like Bankotsu?

OMG I LOVE BANKOTSU!!!!!!!!!!

I love his voice (same guy who dubs Kira Yamato from Gundam SEED), his clothes, his personality, his comical relationship with Jakotsu, and practically everything else about him. But my favourite thing about him has to be his hair!

Anyhoo, now that I'm done being fangirly..........

Yay! Someone who understands!

I totally agree, voice is awesome, and so is the outfit and the braid, even the purple thingy. And Banryuu is also awesome!

Seriously, now I'm like...not watching the series past the part where *Growls at Inuyasha and attacks* you know what. I'm just rewatching every single clip of Bankotsu and making lots of banners and collecting icons and...yeah. *Is finding myself turning into a fangirl*

Now all the other characters seem annoying, especially Kagome. I don't know why. I know I DID like them, but now I don't see why.

Band of Seven (Especially Band of Seven LEADER) = Love

My favourite quote from Bankotsu (which means Barbarian Bone):
"My Banryuu! You polished it! It's so shiny!" (I might not have the exact quote...)

Yeah, I totally understand about you know what. *growls at Inuyasha as well* I remember a fanfic I once started that involved him still alive and well and married... And Banryuu is TOTALLY amazing!!!!!!!!

Hell yeah!

Actually, I've found multiple meanings of his name. Bankotsu can also mean "Barbarian skill," "brute courage," "recklessness," and "thousands of lives." Those ALL fit him perfectly.
