Biggest Losers in Anime

[Olvelsper]

In a fit of whimsy, I've decided to open this thread in hopes of sparking a conversation over who you think is the biggest loser in all of animedom. It doesn't matter how old school it is, but please explain give a reason why.

My nomination for biggest loser in anime is Washu's husband in the Tenchi Muyo OVAs. He was married to not only the greatest scientific mind in the universe, but a *goddess*, and the chump gets himself pulled away from all that.

While it was pretty much essential towards getting Washu to create Ryoko (and to kick off the storyline), my personal opinion is that I'd rather be dust in the wind than to be dragged off from all of that. :p

He's a contender, but at least he had enough going for him to marry her in the first place.

I'll nominate Seiryo (aka the Pinkhaired dude) also from Tenchi.  After talking big, he gets defeated by collateral damage before he actaully duels Tenchi.

[Olvelsper]

Seems that's Seiryo's Achilles Heel no matter where he goes.

Doesn't some snot nosed earth kid beat him just be luck too? I guess when the big GM in the sky approved his character sheet, one of his disadvantages he had to take to be a Juraian noble was horrendously bad luck.

Brock from Pokemon.

He'll never get the girl. ^_^

[Brian]

I'm going to say Jin-Rai's older brother, from Giant Robo.

Talk about losing big-time!

[Edward]

Hikaru Gosunkugi from Ranma 1/2.  He's so pathetic that he's happy when Akane yells at him, because she's finally paying attention to him.  He finally works up the courage to personally attack Ranma after Ranma is so weak he can't hurt a preschooler and even then Gosunkugi waits until Kuno and Mousse have beaten up Ranma and then attacks from behind.

Kenshin Himura ^_^

Former Hitokiri Battousai, one of the best swordsmen in the entire series and probably all of Japan, turned into a male Sailor Moon-wannabe ^_^

[Olvelsper]

Hey, I resent that. At least Sailor Moon had a harem by the end of the series. Kenshin didn't get that much. :p

Kenshin Himura ^_^

Yeah, except he got a woman.  >_> So doesn't that sort of prevent total loserhood?

[Fallacies]

Kaoru's wearing the pants in the relationship, and he's stuck with housework.

For a bigger loser along the same theme, Battle Programmer Shirase. Former notorious child-hacker, known worldwide for his exploits, currently 20-some years old, working at a third-rate programming company and doing charity hacks for private contractors. He can't get a woman his own age, but engages in a strange psuedo-sexual relationship with his grand-niece Misao, who's in elementary school. Spends his free time collecting shitty computer hardware from the 80's and early 90's, visiting maid cafes, and browsing anime/manga/doujin shops.

[Music-chan]

I don't think Kenshin should count. After going through everything he did, he deserves the right to act like that. =p

And I've seem some REALLY big losers in some really bad animes....but I've since blocked them all from my memory.

(Mostly, I just can't think of anything right now)

Katsuhito Jinnai
He leads the buggrum
has the gorgeous bug girl falling all over him
has control of the ultimate weapon
and looses.

LOOSER!

[Olvelsper]

He was going up against the power of WUV, though. :D

[thepanda]

Katsuhito Jinnai isn't really such a loser. His only problem is that he loses focus whenever Mokoto is involved. Beyond that he is actually pretty effective as a villian.

Lirr: This candy is chalky and unplesant!
Lirr's Wife: and what is this 'Wuv'?
Lirr: Surely it says 'Love'
Lirr's Wife: No! It says 'Wuv', with an Earth 'W'
Lirr: This concept of 'Wuv' confuses and infuriates us!
