It's a battle and a DFHRI as we pit two of the most famous comic and manga warriors from the 19th century!

Jonah Hex: The scarred bounty hunter

vs

Himura Kenshin: The pacifistic wandering swordsman

Both fought in their countries' respective Civil Wars. Both lived violent lives that ended in the deterioration of their bodies. Both are known for their speed and scars. And both are complete opposites to each other.

WHO IS DEADLIEST?!

Jonah Hex[]

Jonah Hex was an infamous bounty hunter who lived during the Old West-era of the DC Universe. As implied in his name, Hex's life has been a tale full of misfortunes and tragedy. He was born to a drunk abusive father and his mother left him while he was young. During the gold rush, his father sold the young Hex to an Apache tribe. He would live under the tribe, gaining their trust and respect, before one of their members who was jealous of Hex, betrayed and abandoned him during a raid on an enemy tribe. He later escaped and took refuge under the plantation of Quentin and Jeb Turnbull. When the American Civil War began, Hex fought for the Confederacy due to his debt to the Turnbulls. However, he later defected from the Confederates after learning the reason of their rebellion, since he himself knew the experience of being sold as a property first-hand. He would try to get back to his former Apache tribe, only for this endeavor to result in tragedy, and him being branded the "mark of the demon" on his face.

The trauma of the Civil War and being horribly scarred left Hex broken. He would continue to wear his Confederate uniform as a symbol that he was a villain that everyone should get away from. He shunned away from religion and society as a whole, becoming an atheistic outcast. A chance encounter with the criminal Eddie Cantwell led Hex to a life of bounty hunting. From then on, Hex would use his experience in the Apache and the Confederacy, becoming a formidable manhunter and gunslinger. He would go on to suffer more tragedies, including the abandonment of his wife Mei Ling, and death of his and Tallulah Black's infant daughter. Hex finally died at the beginning of the 20th century, and his corpse would be stuffed and used as a sideshow mannequin before finally being buried in peace.

Old West Weapons: Hex used a variety of weapons, ranging from improvised weapons to actual military weapons. He can use common items like a lasso to strangle people, to even explosives like dynamite. In some stories, he's even used sabers, shotguns, gatling guns, and even cannons. However, for the sake of this battle, I am only giving Hex the primary weapons he used the most.
- Bowie Knife: Hex uses a variety of knives, most of which are bowie-like in design and can be worn either in his belt or his boot. He uses the knife mostly as a back-up melee weapon, though he's still a formidable knife-user, capable of taking down multiple enemies with a single knife. He’s good in fact that he can kill someone with a knife that had already been embedded in his arm.
- Tomahawk: A short, one-handed Apache axe. The tomahawk can be used for both melee and range combat, and is Jonah's most favored weapon, being trained with it by the Apache. He has shown to use it in one-on-one duels and large-scale brawls. He is fast with it too. At one point, he was fast enough to throw it an enemy and kill him before said enemy can aim and shoot his pistol at Hex.
- Colt Peacemakers: Hex uses a variety of revolvers, all of which are six-shot long-barreled revolvers, though in Post-Crisis he primarily used a cartridge-based one like the Colt Peacemaker. Whatever the case, Hex is very skilled with revolvers, being able to draw and shoot two at a time, and gun down 4 to even 6 enemies in a draw. He is fast enough to literally draw and shoot a rattlesnake in mid-strike, or a guy who already has his gun drawn.
  - Hex is also talented when it comes to moves that many would define as trick-shooting. He can dodge, roll, and still shoot accurately on the go. He can shoot dynamites in the air, or shoot a lamp so that it can ignite an explosive. Hex can also shoot an icicle so that it will fall in his hands and be used as a melee weapon.
- Winchester Rifle: A lever-action rifle that Hex uses primarily for long range. He is very adept with it, being able to use it as a stealthy sniper or an assault weapon. His skills with a rifle can be seen during the time he once took on a whole camp of Army soldiers with nothing more than a rifle and a concealed position.

Expert CQC Fighter: Throughout his life, Hex has learned a variety of combat styles, ranging from Apache hand-to-hand combat, to more professional Army close-quarters combat. He is also an expert pugilist and wrestler, capable of throwing people or knocking out someone with a punch. He has also mastered almost every melee weapon in his time, from hatchets to sabers, and even knows ways to counter them. He was once tough enough to fight off alligators while he was underwater.

Master Marksman: Even though Hex only has one eye, he is very accurate in both firearms and thrown weapons. So much so that he can shoot someone without even looking at them. Besides his tomahawk, revolver, and rifle, Hex is talented in using improvised range weapons. He even killed a guy by literally throwing a sheriff's star at his eye.

Extraordinary Speed and Agility: As one of the fastest gunslingers of his time, Hex speed is unmatched, both in melee weapons and firearms. Jonah Hex #9 has shown that Hex is fast enough to react to a bullet after it has been fired from a pistol, and even shattered another bullet in flight with a blade. Besides combat speed, Hex's reaction speed is uncanny, capable of dodging point-blank shotgun fire, small arms fire from multiple directions, and sniper shots from a concealed position.

Near-Superhuman Durability: Hex is one tough SOB. He can survive torture from people and unforgiving elements from the environment. He survived being beaten, stabbed, and shot. He also once survived being locked inside a coffin and floated towards a rapid. One time, he even survived being bashed by a bull and its horns in the abdomen multiple times. He also has amazing endurance, capable of not dying after being hung in the neck and left to die. He even knows a Native American technique that can help someone wake up from a coma or from nearly dying.

Stealth Expert: As both a former Apache warrior and Confederate bushwhacker, Hex is skilled in unconventional and guerrilla warfare. He can take out multiple enemies without them even seeing him, as well as being adept in using booby traps, hit and run tactics, and ambushes. His expertise in stealth also lends towards combatting those who are themselves expert in stealth. He can sense when someone is going to shank him from the back, he can track down anyone who tries to escape him, and has fought against stealth-based killers like Indian warriors, serial killers, and a hashashin. That being said, there have been some people who got the drop on him from time-to-time.

Himura Kenshin[]

Himura Kenshin is the main protagonist in the manga/anime series Rurouni Kenshin. After finishing his job as the murderer Hitokiri Battōsai in the Ishin Shishi, Kenshin assumes the life of a wanderer. Ten years after the Revolution, he arrives in Tokyo, where he meets Kaoru. She invites him to stay in her dojo even after she discovers that Kenshin is the "Battōsai". During his residence in the dojo, Kenshin establishes lifelong relationships with many people, including ex-enemies. When Shishio Makoto, the brutal once-successor to Kenshin's position as Chōshū's hitokiri, masterminds a movement seeking to overthrow the Meiji Government, Kenshin leaves Tokyo to stop him. To defeat such a foe, Kenshin is forced to resume his training and mend his relationship with his teacher Seijūrō, who taught and took care of Kenshin, originally named Shinta, in his childhood. That childhood training was interrupted when Kenshin decided to protect the people of Japan. After finishing his training, all Kenshin's friends reunite with him and help him to defeat Shishio and his army.

Months later, a man known as Yukishiro Enishi starts attacking all people that Kenshin meets as an act of revenge for the death of his sister Tomoe. At this moment, it is discovered that Kenshin was married to Tomoe in the Bakumatsu but accidentally killed her when trying to rescue her from a group of assassins. When Enishi finds out about Kenshin's feelings towards Kaoru, Enishi sets out to kidnap her. He succeeds and leaves behind a professionally-made decoy of Kaoru with a sword in her heart, making everyone believe that she had been murdered. Kenshin falls into severe depression and runs off to a village of wanderers to mourn. However, he breaks out of his depression after his friends discover Kaoru is alive. The group goes to rescue her on Enishi's island. A battle between Kenshin and Enishi follows and when Kenshin wins, he and Kaoru return home. Five years later, Kenshin is married to Kaoru and has a son named Kenji. After an encounter with Kaoru's student Myōjin Yahiko, Kenshin gives his sakabatō to him as a gift for his coming-of-age.

Sakabatō: The legendary reverse-edge sword, which is basically a katana but with the blunt edge facing the enemy. Kenshin chose this design to compliment his pacifistic nature. Though it's a sword, the sakabatō's main way of dealing damage is through blunt-force instead of bladed lacerations, and the fact that the sharp-edge is pointed towards the user also makes it a dangerous weapon to use. After Kenshin's fight with Seta Sojiro, Kenshin would gain a stronger sakabatō sword that can take more hits from superhuman foes and shatter an opponent’s sword. Besides the blade, other parts of the sword can be used for combat through specific techniques, like the sheath or the handle's edge.
Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū: A kenjutsu and battojutsu sword style created by the Sengoku swordsman Hiko Seijūrō I. This specific combat style focuses on godlike speed and agility to take out multiple opponents at once. The style also draws heavily on the observational skills of the user to anticipate their foe's attack. In the world of Rurouni Kenshin, different sword techniques allow combatants to amplify their abilities to superhuman levels, akin to feats seen in wuxia and in the belief in chi/ki. Hiten mitsurugi virtually allows Kenshin to perform moves that break the laws of physics, and some of the most common techniques he uses include:
- Ryūtsuisen: Kenshin's favorite attack where he leaps and attempts to strike down at an opponent, using his momentum and the Earth's gravity to increase the damage dealt by the attack.
- Ryūkansen: A technique Kenshin uses when up against multiple opponents. The objective of this technique is for Kenshin to spin and attack in multiple directions. This move is also effective in countering a thrust or a charge.
- Ryūmeisen: An unusual technique where Kenshin uses all of his strength and speed to sheath his blade, creating a sonic boom that can stun enemies and affect their hearing.
- Kuzuryūsen: A special maneuver that allows Kenshin to dash and hit all nine vital parts of the human body. The move is based around Taoist or Neijing principles that state that "chi" or body energy travels through different terminal points in the human body, and hitting even one of this vital points to disrupt said flow can cause severe damage to the body. This belief works similarly to martial arts that are categorized as pressure point combat.
- Sōryūsen: A seemingly simple series of Battōjutsu strikes using the sword's sheath. It is basically used as a sneaky follow-up after the initial sword strikes, using the spin and momentum to create devastating blunt force damage that can crush bone and shatter wood. The technique also allows Kenshin an easy and loaded way to defend himself if ever his strikes misses.
- Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki: Kenshin's most destructive technique. The Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki consists of either two or three parts that involve Kenshin dashing towards an opponent in full godspeed, striking at the opponent with all of his strength, and if parried, a vacuum will be created drawing and paralyzing said opponent so Kenshin can spin and follow-up with another attack.

Godspeed: Every user of the hiten mitsurugi-ryū is either gifted or have honed their body to move in superhuman quickness. Besides being able to dash and strike with godlike speed, Kenshin is also capable of blitzing opponents who have guns aimed at him, and even react and slice a shot from a wooden canon. In terms of scaling, Kenshin has proven himself to be faster than Sanosuke Sagara, a companion who held his own against Inui Banjin, a guy who can block bullets with his gauntlets. That being said, there has been a limitation to how fast Kenshin is, since he once had difficulties fighting a gatling gun, and had to rely on the Oniwaban ninjas to take it out.

Superhuman Strength: As a martial artist who has honed his body since he was a boy, Kenshin is capable of feats that is beyond even an Olympic-level person. His stomps are strong enough to break stone tiles, his strikes are powerful enough to launch someone into the air, and when angered, can summon an aura that literally cuts leaves when they get into close proximity with him.

Superhuman Durability: Kenshin has taken hits that would kill an average person, including attacks from other superhumans. He once survived being bashed through a tree, destroying said tree. He also survived an explosion to the face multiple times courtesy of Shishio Makoto and his gunpowder-filled special gloves. He can even break out of the Shin no Ippou, a move that can paralyze opponents with a look.

Superhuman Senses: Either through his training in kenjutsu or knowledge in ki, Kenshin has heightened senses that allow him to feel and anticipate attacks. Sanosuke once observed that Kenshin can sense a projectile thrown at him from behind without seeing or hearing it. He can also sense if someone is hiding from him (though not where said someone is located).

Prediction Ability: By observing an opponent's body language, emotions, or ki, Kenshin is capable of anticipating said opponent's next move or strike. During his fight with Udō Jin-e, Kenshin was able to read his attacks, predict a few of his next moves, and counter effectively. However, his prediction ability has some weaknesses since he's been tagged before, especially by Seta Sojiro, a swordsman who almost shows no emotions, making it difficult for Kenshin to predict him.

X-Factors[]

Jonah Hex was trained by Apache warriors and the Confederate Army, giving him the advantage of training and knowledge from a traditional warrior culture and a modern professional force. Other skills, such as gunfighting to bounty-hunting, where skills he learned along the way.

Most of Kenshin's training comes from one guy, Hiko Seijūrō XIII, who trained him in swordsmanship from a young age. This training can be assumed to be similar to trainings one can find in a dojo or a martial arts camp. We can also assume that Kenshin also got a more professional military training during his time with the Choshu rebels under Takasugi Shinsaku, even learning more about politics, drills, and assassinations, but there's no sureity to it.

Jonah Hex has fought all kinds of opponents during his time. He's fought various Native American tribes, fellow Confederates, and even the U.S. Army. He's fought outlaws and lawmen, including the North-West Mounted Police. Some of the notable opponents he's defeated include supervillains like El Papagayo and Quentin Turnbull, the serial killer group known as the Sawbones, superhuman demons during his run with El Diablo, and an assassin known as The Mexican, who can literally lop off heads and parry bullets in the air with his machetes. He's even tagged a time-travelling Batman (though said Batman had no memories of his past).

Kenshin Himura has faced numerous human and superhuman foes as well. He's fought samurai, ninja, yakuza, terrorists, to even professional uniformed personnel. He went up against various enemies trained in multiple disciplines and weapons, from brawlers, swordsmen, to even gunmen. Some of the most powerful foes he had defeated include Sanosuke Sagara, who can break stone with his fists; Udō Jin-e, who can literally paralyze someone with his eyes; the former shinsegumi Saito Hajime; the sword hunter known as Sawagejō Chōwho, who can break rocks with his whip-like sword; Seta Sojiro, who can literally move in a blur; Shishio Makoto, who can summon fire from his katana; and Yukishiro Enishi, who can increase his strength and speed through an ability known as "Frenzied Nerves".

There's no denying the fact that Hex is a far more brutal combatant than Kenshin. In fact, both characters are pretty much the polar opposites to each other. While Hex is no psychopath, he prefers to kill his bounties most of the time. He also doesn't shy away from giving enemies a slow death (at one point, even stranding a murdering prostitute in an abandoned mine). Although Hex used to be an honorable man who helped out from time-to-time, throughout the years, he would become more asocial, apathetic, and bitter in life, culminating in an event where he literally left a young mute boy to fend for himself in the wilderness for reasons only known to him.

Kenshin is a pacifist. He doesn't kill his opponents, not even those who have harmed his loved ones, though there were times where he had gone extremely close to killing. He used to be a killer, but his experiences during the Boshin War transformed and enlightened him to be a protector of life rather than a bringer of death. Whether or not his pacifism affects his efficiency in combat is up to anyone, but he still is a formidable fighter nonetheless. There are even several instances where his pacifism and mercy actually took an effect on a few enemies, even inspiring them to take a less violent life themselves (like Senkaku and Seta Sojiro).

Notes[]

Battle takes place in a neutral small village. Both are placed on the opposite edge of the town and must find each other. None have any prior knowledge of one another.
This is primarily Post-Crisis Jonah Hex, with no feats from the Hex and Vertigo series (since their canonicity is in question due to Flashpoint and Convergence). Meanwhile, this is mostly Kenshin Himura's feats from the manga and anime. Both warriors' feats from the New 52/Rebirth and Jump Force are not included.

Battle[]

It was an era of innovation, a century of civil wars. A time for industry and revolution, a time for the feudal ways to die. The 19th century was known for many things, from science, warfare, and literature; a real period far from its romanticized and bastardized Victorian caricature.

Deep in the jungle, the smell of smoke and embers permeated from a makeshift camp that a lonely Japanese man had built. He sat down near the fire, his katana on his shoulder, hugging it tight as one would cradle a child. He shivered behind his long red Japanese dress, his eyes constricted as he fought the wetness and the cold. Lonely and silent, he only had the banana trees, acacia trees, and the bugs to keep him company. He’d killed a lot of men in his youth, but bugs, and nature itself, was an enemy he had never been able to defeat.

It seemed for him, that this godforsaken jungle-infested island, was not built for people to live in.

The man was known as the Hitokiri Battousai of the Bakumatsu, but by the Meiji era, he became known as the pacifistic wandering rounin. His name was Kenshin Himura, and he now slightly regretted agreeing to take part in this government mission to the island dotted somewhere in the Pacific.

“Kaoru-san…” he murmured. “I miss you, my dear wife…”

Suddenly, the peace would be disturbed by a loud bang, and the ronin would disappear from his campfire. The cocking of a lever-action rifle came next, followed by the rustling of leaves and branches.

Out came a man wearing a brown uniform and a Confederate slouch hat. His rifle breathed smoke as he surveyed the area in front of him. His face was so scarred and grotesque that not even the tortorous jungle could match its horror. It was as if Satan himself had decided to take a walk in the mortal world.

“Where the hell did he go?” the man said to himself, perplexed. His name was Jonah Hex, and while he had faced a lot of enemies throughout the years, it was the first time he’d seen someone disappear into thin air. His mind had begun thinking; maybe it was no man he tried to kill, maybe it was a ghost.

Slowly, Jonah began backing away from the camp. It was a bad move, walking out like that into the open. He had the advantage of the jungle when he attempted that ambush. But now? Not only was he bereft of his initial advantage, but the jungle now masked his dangerous prey, turning itself into his disadvantage.

Suddenly, a glimmer of a blade appeared out of the foliage. Hex could barely dodge the slash, but the blade did connect with his rifle, somehow cutting it in two. The cowboy then rolled on the ground while simultaneously discarding the remnants of his rifle. He already had his revolvers drawn when landed back to his feet.

In front of him, was Himura Kenshin; his hands gripping his katana tightly, his eyes burning with rage. Jonah cocked both his revolvers and said, “I swear you coulda cut me if you wanted to with that speed of yers.”

“Sumimasen,” Kenshin replied, eyes still enraged.

Kenshin wanted to know why that man tried to shoot him. But he was jestering to himself. Even with that horrible mug, Kenshin could still sense the emotions that leaked out of him. He knew the man was also here against his will. Like him, he was there to kill. Though the reason still escaped him.

Was the reason similar to Kenshin’s? Was the man here because of patriotism and the wanting to serve his fellow persons? Or maybe it was because of something else? Something more malicious? Like money? Or reputation? Or maybe just pure apathy and sadism?

Jonah was not a man who would kill someone for no reason at all. He made murdering a business, but he always killed only those that needed killing. He didn’t know if that man was any more as evil as him — maybe even less evil than those ants that like to ruin Sunday picnics. So he had no assurance if what he was doing was right. Everything he did here was a red flag against his principle. Maybe he should have never participated in this contest…

Jonah began firing his two revolvers, with the initial barrage easily being dodged by the samurai with a series of side steps. As Kenshin began moving forward, a bullet did tag him in the ribs, causing searing pain. Kenshin grunted, cursing to himself for underestimating this gunman. With full godspeed, Kenshin charged at Jonah, yelling, “Ryukansen!”

It was Jonah’s turn to underestimate his opponent’s speed. He did not see the dash or the swings of the sword. All he felt was three slashes that hit him in the side, followed by a last slash that slammed into his face like a boxer’s hook. The force of the slash threw him towards a tree, slamming his body into it, making hundreds of leaves fall like it was raining.

Jonah tried to get back up, with only one revolver remaining in his hand. All the wind from his lungs was forced out of him with that stroke. It did feel weird that he was hit with what he thought was a blunt sword. If it was a sharp sword, his body would have been sliced into steaks, ready to be cooked.

“Ryutsuisen!” screamed Kenshin as he appeared from above, preparing a downward slash unto Jonah’s head. This time, Jonah managed to move out of the way, leaving Kenshin carving out a huge chunk of the tree Jonah previously slammed into. With equal speed, Jonah aimed his gun and fired twice, hitting Kenshin both times in the thigh, hoping these would slow him down. But Kenshin just spun around, yelled “Soryusen!”, and hit Jonah in the hand, knocking away his remaining pistol.

Undeterred, Jonah drew his tomahawk and bowie knife. He rushed at Kenshin and began to dance with the samurai. The cowboy was fast, but Kenshin had no problem dodging away at the former’s small and pitiful arsenal. Every jab from the knife was easily dodged with a backstep or a sidestep. Every swing of the ax was easily blocked with Kenshin’s sakaboto or sheath. Yet, even in melee, Kenshin’s own forte, the samurai could not allow himself to underestimate his foe again.

With a graceful retraction of his arm, he brought his blade forth near his sheath. He then said, “Ryumeisen!”, and sheath his sword so loudly that it deafened Jonah.

“Gawd dammit!” Jonah cursed as his hearing felt numb and the defeaning silence hurt his head. Seeing his opponent stunned, Kenshin prepared to unleash another devastating technique. “Kuzuryusen!” Kenshin yelled.

In blind rage, Jonah threw his tomahawk in an effort to buy himself some time. The ax embedded itself into Kenshin’s shoulder, drawing blood and making the samurai scream in pain. Jonah then used the oppurtunity to retreat into the jungle, leaving Kenshin once again alone.

Kenshin managed to pull away the ax, though it tore his shoulder, leaving him with a gaping wound. Breathing and tired, Kenshin now had to finish this fight lest he ended up bleeding to death. He then ran towards the jungle in pursuit of his adversary. He searhed and searched, cutting away vegetation, almost stumbling on the rocks and slipping through the mud. However, Jonah Hex was nowhere to be found.

And before Kenshin knew it, a knife was plunged into his spine. “Dumb move, kid…” responded Jonah as he pushed the knife deeper. Gritting through the pain, Kenshin managed to wildly slash his sword into the air. Jonah could feel himself being pulled after that slash — it was as if a tornado was summoned out of nowhere, pulling him in.

But Jonah was not going to let his chance of winning slide. He punched Kenshin in the face before he could swing his sword again, finally knocking the exhausted rounin out.

Epilogue[]

God continued to be unegotiable, and the island remained a hell for the poor saps. The weather was moody, swinging from shivering wet cold to dry unforgiving heat. The forest, on the other hand, never ran out of blood-sucking bugs to feed. Yet Kenshin remained unconscious; that was until the worst headache woke him up from his slumber.

“Finally, the manslayer awakes,” greeted a white man. He wore a brown coat and tie, paired with black slacks and leather shoes. On his back was a cape and on his head was a peculiar cap with flaps on the side — a deerstalker. He sat on a log with his legs crossed, exhaling smoke from a large wooden pipe he held in his left hand. He had black hair, smooth forehead, a beak shaped like that of a hawk, and the eyes that seemed to penetrate right into the soul.

Kenshin remained in his bed. Besides the headache, he could feel the bandages and patches, tightly wrapped around his abdomen. The mere fact that he was still alive meant the wound from the gunfighter’s knife was not that fatal. Either way, Kenshin was damn lucky.

As Kenshin observed, beside the white man was another man, this time an Easterner similar to Kenshin, but different for he was more of a medium built compared to the slim samurai, wearing a white uniform similar to what the old xialon monks had. Half of his head from the forehead was hairless, almost shimmering and flawless, while the back of it had a long ponytail tied into a lock.

“Do you speak English?” the man with the funny hat said. “Your country has been in isolation for so long I’m afraid only a few learned your dialect.”

“I speak few,” Kenshin said. “I understand few…”

“That’s good enough. I am Sherlock Holmes by the way. From Great Britain. And this Chinese man with me is Wong Fei Hung.”

Hung then went to Holmes and spoke to him of something that Kenshin could not understand. There was an urgency in his face, as the groggy Kenshin noticed. And some doubt too. Probably some disgust in there as well. Holmes nodded and turned back to Kenshin, before saying, “My friend wants me to tell you that we are all friends here. And we would request that if we are to survive in this place, we have to work together.”

Before Kenshin could speak, Jonah Hex came from behind, surprising the former. He then said to Holmes, “I can vouch for this guy. He could have killed me, but he didn’t.”

“I…” Kenshin murmured, head still slightly buzzing. “I do not kill.”

“Good for you then,” Jonah said. “Ain’t the Japanese man such a Christian?”

“Settle down, yank,” Holmes said. “Listen, all of us here volunteered to represent our county in this… tournament. But we never knew that this tournament is actually some sort of game of death. Some sort of battle royale. And we all were told to kill each other.”

“Kill in the name of our countries…” commented Jonah. “Ain’t it so beautiful.”

“But we agreed not to take part in it,” Holmes continued. “We have to work together to get out of this island and watch out for that Cossack who owns this. Surviving is about thinking, not just strength.”

“Surviving is also about movin’,” Jonah replied. “And we need to move now. Y’all are free to stay here, but I’m gettin’ out of here.”

Expert’s Opinion[]

While Kenshin Himura was deemed to be the better melee and close quarters combatant, Jonah Hex’s longer range weapons, stealth, and intellect still triumphed in the end.
