Goku might be the strongest guy ever, but Vegita isn’t quite so dumb, plus he has a hotter wife (who’s also a genius).

What’s up with Heidi?

I’d like to be Capitan Harlock. He was pimp.

I guess Goku is a bit of an obvious choice for power-obsessed people o_o, seeing as how he has enough power to blow up several planets and has the ability to teleport. I mean, apparently no one really cares that he’s a bit intellectually-challenged (Note – Goku is one of my favorite characters).

Can’t seem to enter my choice, strange.

I’d say my pick is Kuran Kaname from Vampire Knight.

C’mon, Astroboy is the best. You can wear your underwear all day, without a shirt; get away with wearing black booties; fire machine guns from your ass…

It’s the obvious choice. And robots are teh cool.

I would be Rin from the Inuyasha. No need to worry about the world, and always having a handsome powerful man and a naggy little monster to protect me. Life is good as Rin.

I would be either Kakashi Hatake from Naruto or Togusa from Ghost In The Shell.

There’s only a few women characters to choose from, none of which I’d want to be. Anyway, I’d be Hitomi from Escaflowne (if that had been a choice), but I wouldn’t have been stupid and left Gaea, especially since she could’ve married a king.

This is hard. I think there really isn’t anyone I’ll like to be, but maybe Osaka from Azumanga Dagio is the only exception.

Guess I’ll have to watch more anime! ^ 0^

I would definitely say Guts from Berserk. Who wouldn’t want to be a mercenary gone berserk?
