Well, all that would take is a person with the manga equivalent of Final Fantasy's Lightning Eater skill and the intelligence not to show it off (as in, pretend to be damaged so he keeps using it). But anyone else would have some serious trouble. I actually wonder what a lot of One Piece characters would have done against him - Mihawk, Whitebeard and the like.
True. Even if they manage to defend against his lightning techniques, don't forget they'd still have to find a way to damage him as well defend against his other attacks (such as the golden triten and his other molding abilities). So far, there appears to be only two ways to damage him: Seastone or rubber.
I also wonder how others would have handled him. If you had Mihawk, say, use some sort of Seastone blade, I could see it happening, but even then it could be difficult.
Whoever said Kenshin vs. the Hawkeye guy from One Piece, that'd be an awesoem fight.
I think that was me, but yes, that would be rather interesting. I wonder if Mihawk would use the Black Sword immediately or stick to the knife like he did with Zoro.
or Zoro
You knew I had to. >_>
