Guts gets dropped in Middle Earth. He has the ring and knows what it does to people and how to destroy it. But he doesn't have the Berserker Armor.

Does he manage to get to Mordor? Does he accept Gollum's help? Would he get corrupted?
>>
>>32015892
What in the hell is going to stop him? Even without the Berserker armor he's taken out bigger baddies than anything Middle Earth could throw at him.

He's probably fine - He's managed to stay un-corrupted in his crapsack world, at least mostly, fighting through darkness and pain on a very personal scale.

Dunno if he'd accept Gollum's help but he's done stranger things. He doesn't have the gentle touch that Bilbo had, though, so he'd probably not get that help.

Chances are, the Fellowship goes about as planned, Sean Bean dies earlier for getting on his nerves, the rest of the party conspire to get the ring from him up and until the point he cuts the head off the Balor for reminding him of a Demon and sending him into a "GRIFFITTTTTTTHHHHHHH" spiral for a little while.
>>
What if he wears it on his metal hand?
>>
>>32015968
Then he has an invisible hand that attracts the spectres.

>Guts puts the ring on the metal hand.
>Pulls out the hand.
>Drops it on the ground.
>Waits.
>A spectre arrives.
>As he kneels to pick it up, Guts pumps it full of bolts/swings the Dragonslayer at him (he's done so with a single hand before).
>Repeat x9
>Put ring on right hand and proceed to go into Mordor without trouble and invisible.
>>
>>32015892

Does he manage to get to Mordor?

Yes, he goes in through the front.

Does he accept Gollum's help?

Maybe? He's been shown to be very independent before teaming up with Silke and the others.

Would he get corrupted?

Hell no. He has a force of will that makes everyone else look like pussies.
>>
This is a stupid thread because the power levels are completely different (at least in the Third Age).

If this were taking place in the First Age, I'd bite. Of course, Guts would probably get annihilated in FA, considering some of the stuff that went on then.
>>
>>32015892
He gets trapped on that boat.

>>32015892
>Does he manage to get to Mordor?
He walks through the goddamn front door. Oh there's an army of orks? They're dead. The great eye is upon him? He shrugs and keeps strolling, he's dealt with worse shit. Wraiths? Balrog?Same as the orks. Guts is ridiculously powerful compared to everything the Fellowship faced.

You motherfucker.

>hfw the fucking corsairs of Umbar are the foe that delay him the most.

No, he can't do shit because his spirit body is literally held together by his spinal cord. Slann fucking wrecked him, he can only fight BECAUSE of the berserker armour. It holds him together. Without it he's fucking dead meat.

It was a long time since I read it, but didn't he "kill" her after she took off his armor? She wounded him pretty badly, but he still could fight without the armor.

That's why he's able to walk around fine without it, right?
>>
>>32016101
> It holds him together. Without it he's fucking dead meat.

Where the fuck are you getting this from?
>>
>>32016101
They used it at that time because he wasn't healing fast enough not to die.

He spends a whole lot of time with it off lately, like the part where he had a fever and wasn't wearing it for weeks and he didn't die.

Plus it doesn't actually do anything when it's not active, it's just armor. The magic only happens when it takes over and drives fucking spikes into him.

Also if we're being very very picky we can just go with black swordsman guts

I think Anon might be confusing it with the ethereal wound he recieved while fighting Slann.
I'm not sure if that's healed yet. Did it heal when the worlds merged, or did it heal naturally? God, it's been so long since I've read past the Golden Age.
>>
>>32016191
The reason is pretty much because of how he fights when berserk. Not like he feels any pain while he has the berserker juice flowing though.
>>
>>32016191
>That sprite work
>No Berserk fighting game

Also the armour removes the sensation of pain while active, and the pain is a bit more dulled even when it's not.
But the latter is more a side effect of losing every other sensation in the process, too.

Guts wrecks face and "kills" Sauron, but as a man he is easily corrupted by the ring. It is the fate of all men.

The only people we have ever seen resist the ring for any length of time are those that have no ambition or strong desires. The Ring tempts you with the power to do whatever it is you want to do. Sam was a simple gardener, so the only thing that the Ring could come up with to tempt him was taking over Morder and turning it into a lush, verdant paradise.

And Frodo? Frodo fell to the ring himself.

Guts wants things too badly. The nature of the ring would exploit that. The Berserker armor alone proves that Guts is not above using dangerous and powerful things if he thinks it will get him what he wants, so the ring is going to get its hooks into him rather easily.

And when Guts has the ring, he will become a dark lord the likes of which the world has never seen. Strength and unrelenting vengeance given form.

Yeah, but what he wants isn't really something the ring can give him. Heal Caska and murder the fuck out of Griffith. Apart from that, I feel like he would just like to stop butchering the whole countryside and maybe try to give a "normal" life to his half-demon son.

Here's the thing: Guts is a struggler. He is half in our world, and half in the interstice, and because of his nature outside of the normal plane of reality, essentially, he can work his will directly on the world, in small ways. This means 'fate' is something that he denies. If 'fate' was all it took, Guts would've fallen a long time ago. The God Hand, those guys Guts is trying to kill? Yeah, fate is their bitch.

The Ring ain't got nothing on him. It would make him ridiculously powerful, and he would use it. He wouldn't fall to it though, and once his goal was complete, in this instance, getting the Ring to Mordor.. he'd drop it like a sack of potatoes.
>>
>>32016291

You think that matters? The Elves cant go near the ring without being corrupted either. Even Gandalf and the Eagles, the equivalent of Angels in Middle Earth and of the same class of being as the Balrog an Sauron himself, dare not touch the ring because they know for a fact it would consume them.

Besides, Apostles are just people who already sacrificed their dreams or loved ones for power. So, if anything, being half apostle should make him MORE vulnerable.

The ring is a bitch like that. The stronger you are, the more pull the Ring has on you.

>>32016316

But he is not tempted to do nasty shit. He is tempted to do exactly what he already wants to do, more easily, and with no chance anyone will stop him.
That is the insidiousness of the ring. The ring does not turn you evil. The rings gives you the chance to do everything you have ever wanted, the evil only sets in when it turns into you reshaping the world as you please because you know no one can stop you.
>>
I still can't get over how young the cast is.

>>32016401
So... it's a behelit. Like the ones Guts collects so they don't fuck shit up. Or to make sure Skelly Knight doesn't choke on them and die.
>>
>>32016042
I wouldn't say he's get annihilated but he'd find himself matched by a lot of the stuff crawling around.

Also theres the question of who's will is stronger: Sauron, who is an ancient, god-like sorcerer or Guts, who loves like a truck and eats monsters for breakfast. Part of the reason the hobbits made it was because the ring only uses partial power against humble creatures like halfings, against kings and warriors and people who pose a threat to the dark lord to work harder to corrupt them. If Guts puts it on its likely he will be contending with the full force of Sauron''s will and and magic.

But yeah, generally, Guts=High fantasy LotR=Low fantasy (except for the first age)
>>
>>32016425

Except that you never have to make that huge sacrifice.
The ring never says you have to sacrifice your dream, or your loved ones. The Ring never makes you give up anything.
The ring lets you have it all. All you want and more.

Its the best defense Sauron could think of: making his phylactery too useful to ever be disposed of.

>>32016479
He looks A LOT younger in the earlier volumes. No idea why Miura keeps making him older and older as his art improves. I guess the armor has some blame, but that shit has been going on long before he got it.

I'm pretty sure some years must have passed in the plot, not only in time skips, but yeah, he's AT MOST and even being quite a stretch, between 15 and 30. And if we assume the plot takes less than a year between time skips, then yeah, he's 21.

It's just that at some point his face became a square.

I've just realized that Guts and co have been on the boat for eight years.

>>32016507

I obviously meant betwen 25 and 30. Even though we all know Guts already had a fucking big killcount by 15.
>>
>>32016496
Alright your right with that.
I guess what I mean is Berserk is "high power" and Lotr is "low power"
Hows that?
>>
I reread Berserk a little while back. I never realized how different the Guts in the early volumes were from the Guts after the Golden Age arc. Even though they are supposed to be t he same, they are completly different.
>>
>>32016479
He was 11 when he killed Gambino, was in various groups for around 4 years until he was recruited by the Band. So 15 when he joined the Band of the Hawk. He was in it for 3 years, then he left for a year. He's around 19 during the jailbreak of Griffith, Eclipse and shit. Shota dude mentioned Guts left Casca alone for two years, so he's 21 by the time Tower of Conviction started. And from there, like, a month has passed. If that.
No idea how old the attempted S&M incest duo is.
>>32016507
Even if it is in roundabout ways, they almost always mention how long it's been after every major timeskip.
>>
>>32016520
Read Golden Age, then the first few volumes.
He's mad as fuck and hunting down the Apostles that killed his friends. I think the Count got Pippin, the succubus lady got that douchenozzle who hated Guts' guts, and so on. The first couple chapters of Berserk is just an angry man killing things so he's less angry.
>>
>>32016525
Also, I believe It's the Mark that is making Guts older and older.
He has to go through that to end up like the SkeleKnight. A dead body that never really died, living in the cursed armor
>>
>>32016530
But the shit that happens before the golden age arc is still like 2-3 years aftet the eclipse. The stuff that happens after the golden age is a direct continuation from the stuff that is before it.

It probably just comes down to Miura not having fleshed him completly out and decided to change some things during the golden age arc.
>>
>>32016520
That's because he calms down a bit. Probably when he gets all sad because he ruined Theresa's life. Then he goes from "fuck everyone, I'm going to kill as much as I can" to "man, I better do something better with my life, maybe heal my girlfriend".

>>32016556
> before the golden age arc is still like 2-3 years aftet the eclipse.

That's DURING the 2-3 years after the eclipse. For all we know he may have killed the Baron a week after the Eclipse.

Guts -needs- more power, but he doesn't -want- more power, other than the power to unfuck his girlfriend's mind, and the ring is something that offends him: a power beyond mortal men, something the uses people, for the destruction of mankind.

I think he'd do fine.
>>
>>32015892
Do remember that while Guts isn't afraid of using dangerous things in clearly desperate situations, he's always had the grand daddy of all humanity->power things sitting right in his pack pocket. Yup, one of Hell's skittles, a Behelit. There's been plenty of times where he could have invoked that and became a monster of legend, but chances are... I personally think the idiot has forgotten all about it. So chances are the ring may or may not affect him, due to him being a bit divorced from reality, but he certainly won't ever pull a Griffith and sacrifice everything for himself.

That one doesn't tempt or anything, it just straight up turns you crazy, which isn't a matter of willpower, but of knowing how to counteract it. Which he knows (or, rather, Schierke does).

Resisting the Ring has nothing to do with willpower. No amount of magic can save you either. Ask Gandalf.

>Guess Frodo just wanted to take a stroll in Mordor then! Not because he desired to detroy the ring in hopes that he would kill Sauron that way!

Frodo had no illusion that he would succeed and pretty much went because there was no other choice, yes.


Resisting the Ring has nothing to do with power, or willpower, or might. Prior knowledge of it nature or hatred of the superntural won't change a thing either. The only thing that can offer a degree of defense is humility. Frodo had no delusion that he could be some sort of great hero that could ride into battle saving the day, or that he was somehow better than all the people around him. His only aspiration was to smoke his pipe in his garden. That's why the Ring had such a hard time corrupting him, because he had absolutely no use for power of any sort.

Yes, the ring has the greater part of Sauron's power inside it, and a big part of Sauron's soul with it.
The only guy who's sure he knows how to handle it is Saruman, and he was forbidden to use the tools of the enemy. He was only to study them and discern their secrets.
Gandalf opposes Saruman's plan to take the ring because while Saruman really could use it for good, and would strike down Sauron, Gandalf's pretty sure the ring wouldn't stop being what it is, and would eventually work its way into Saruman's head. If it can't overpower him, it'll do so insidiously, and then the world would have a new dark lord, even more dangerous than the last.
(One of the few things I actually disliked about the LotR movies was that they rewrote all of this and made Saruman into a wuss who had given up)

The only things that even pose an inconvenience to Guts are the entire army or Mordor, and the Balrogs.

Guts ruins armies of nastier beasts basically on a daily basis, and has gone up against Balrog-level foes around a dozen times. But without his armor, the Balrog might actually be seriously dangerous for him. I'd still put my money on Guts, though.

>Would he get corrupted?

Well, the ring WAS made by a demigod with the express purpose of imposing his will on dudes, and seems to work especially good on humans. Maybe if he were carrying it for decades it would start screwing with his mind, but his identity is almost entirely defined as "I fucking hate demons", and the ring is a demonic artifact. And given how he's managed to stay generally okay in his ultragrimdark setting, he's got the willpower to basically ignore it.

What I want to know is why he would bother destroying the ring, when it's a shorter walk to Sauron's tower. You just know he'd rather walk up to the man himself and bisect that fucker in one go.

>his identity is almost entirely defined as "I fucking hate demons",

No problem, the ring can be used to destroy those things. See >>32017565


>What I want to know is why he would bother destroying the ring, when it's a shorter walk to Sauron's tower. You just know he'd rather walk up to the man himself and bisect that fucker in one go.

Because Sauron is just a shadow on the throne. He has no physical form, but is tied to the mortal plane by the ring. As long as it exists, he can't be killed. He also can't recreate a physical form for himself until he gets the ring back and becomes whole again.

>>
>>32018354
I tend to be gangbanged more by fellow red phantoms. Also rape squads happen, its a fact of life. If it does I use the mobs and cheese the host with toxic mist or double raw repeater crossbow power stanced. If they're estus chugging faggots same, cast warmth, laugh, return, kill peasant.

If invading with my hexer its even simpler because Scraps of Life is similar to Firestorm, just with far less cast time and you can move before the pillars of dark appear, perfect for dispersing gank squads, then you just have to cast Dark Mist on the host of the world. Dark Mist has insane range and almost instantly poisons. Afterwards you just have to land a shot with Dark Orb, or rush the bitch down with your +10 dark heide sword.

Either way, 99 tokens of spite.

Also another change that should be implemented is that red sign wins should count towards Brotherhood of Blood ranking. (I spent two and a half days and won like 110 fights before I realized I will never rank up using that).

And make halberds not shit somehow.

>>32018425
Technically incorrect, Sauron is definatly more powerful than Gandalf, but he's not the Satan analogue. Sauron is the lesser evil, he's Satan's buttslut. Sauron's BOSS, who was imprisoned outside creation, is the Satan analogue.

A half dead sloth can dodge it though, and the moveset is terrible. Not to mention coding the durability loss to framerate is catastrophic, halberd and heavy weapons lose durability like if they were made out of paper because of it.

>>32018496
I dont mind that much because invade+red sign and red sign+red sign lets you do fight clubs. (That and I had my most wonderful moments of cooperations with fellow brothers of blood while hunting down the host like a filthy, filthy animal. Sunbros only wish they had jolly cooperation of this level.)

I'm also amused by pigs that try to rush you down while bowing. As if you cant roll out of emotes. Perfect for backstab setups. Turtler enemies are the most fantastic thing ever though. The faggots who put their havel greatshields up all day long asking for you to shield bash them and then crit them in the face with a spear or knife or claymore. Siiigh.

But yeah, Blue Sentinels are like the Knights of Darkmoon. Painfully dysfunctional. Much sorrow. Not to mention their duelling arena's matchmaking is utterly fucked (SL 70 with less then 200K soul memory paired with SL150 2M+ soul memory people with endgame gear).

Brotherhood of Blood is best jolly covenant of wonderful gentlemen of high stature and mirth. Rest are irrelevant.

Considering how self-denying Raiden is he "MIGHT" be able to resist the ring a bit.

however, as a machine, he'd have to be extra careful since there is no way to properly repair and heal himself in middle earth. No Gatorade Spines for you. As for fighting: he could kill a balrog, or heven the Witch king since he technically "Not a man"

Separate universes and the way magic works.

Tolkien put a lot of effort into world-building and designing Middle-Earth's lore and magic. There's no way in hell this Guts character can resist Sauron's influence. Nobody has a will that strong. Tom Bombadil is an exception because he's practically an avatar of Nature.

From what I've gleamed through this thread, Guts will be used by the One Ring whether he likes it or not. If he won't be corrupted by it, it'll make sure he'll lose the ring by accident or design.

These two get dropped in Middle Earth. They have the ring and know what it does to people and how to destroy it. But they don't have the rest of the Dai-Gurren Dan.

Do they manage to get to Mordor? Do they accept Gollum's help? Would they get corrupted?

Hey guys, I'm not very far into Berserk (I just finished reading the Golden Age arc last week), but I heard that there's a part where Guts and Zodd team up for a bit to fight someone. Is this true?
>>
>>32020142
Hence my general dislike for the covenant. Their special gimick AKA lessened online restrictions doesnt mean shit since you can replace the same with HAVING FRIENDS and using the Name-Engraved Ring.

Ring pretty much corrupts anything no matter how powerful and given how much he wants to kill griffith it's pretty likely he would be corrupted. Now if him and frodo teamed up it would proably end with him dumping frodo into mount doom at the end.
>>
>>32020212
Guts rode around on Zodd's back as if he were the dragon from A Neverending Story so he could hit a thunderstorm with his sword.

He mainly had to team up with his as this was the first fight the naked loli that lusts for Guts couldn't help him.


Things start getting crazy in Berserk later on. But in a good way.

The Nameless One gets dropped in Middle Earth. He has the ring and knows what it does to people and how to destroy it. But he doesn't have his intestines because Morte thought it would be hilarious to hide them under his coffin.

Does he manage to get to Mordor? Does he accept Gollum's help? Would he get corrupted?
>>
>>32020573
This is honestly a hard question. Depending on if he is fully awakened and what alignment he had and other shit. I mean a will 25 Chaotic evil nameless one would be middle earths worst nightmare.
>>
>>32020573
>Does he manage to get to Mordor?
Yes.
> Does he accept Gollum's help?
He'd make Gollum realize what a fucker he is and leave him crying at the spot he meets him.

The Practical One already set it up so that the Ring would be dropped into Mount Doom via a system of pulleys so that he doesn't get too near it.

Yeah. Assuming the worst case that is a Cha 25 Will 25 Int 25 Chaotic evil nameless one with the ring. He would have middle earth by the end of the month. Then he could use the rings boost to pull a sauron and overwealm tom though surrounding him. Best case is lawful good nameless one.
>>
>>32020717
In which case he probably has a really fucking strong axe and can still easily defeat Sauron through a bit more normal means.
>>
>>32020717
>Cha 25 Will 25 Int 25 Chaotic evil
He would literally be the same as Saruman with the ring, only worse
His words and ability to manipulate people would be beyond god-like
>>
>>32020749
Honestly it's very possible for the ring to betray Sauron in this case. I mean corrupted gandolf vs Sauron has some odds for it happening. The absolute worst case nameless one would blow Gandolf out of the water.

On the other hand assuming the best case the nameless one could probably just unforge the ring himself. Like Fenor could.

Now this I"m unsure of. Mainly because it's less the heat or the likes of the fire and more the mythical properties of being the fire where it was forged.

He might be able to but he would pretty much have to make a copy of the fires of mont. doom so close that there is no difference at all.

Gwendolyn, Cornelius, Mercedes, Oswald and Velvet get dropped in Middle Earth. They have the rind and know what it does to people and how to destroy it. Velvet is human and they have their psyphers.

You think Middle Earth inhabitant release phozons on death?
I don't know about muggle seeds, but what about alchemy materials?
Makes me think that loaded with artifact as they are endgame they could basically shrug off as much as guts. Even without that though your uncharged psypher in act 1 can pierce dragon scales, so I figure they'll be fine.
>>
>>32020928
They lack anywhere near the amount of will to do this. You need literal godlike willpower to throw the ring and even Elrond would have to jump in with it.

So it would just end with one of them taking it.

Perhaps. If they can''t find a dragon to whom they can give the ring and quickly it'll probably end poorly.
Although I don't really know what the ring could appeal for in them. Out of her kingdom Mercedes will be like a fish out of water, but she won't really have any desire. Oswald and Gwen already have one another, Cornelius will just want to follow Velvet, and she'll wan't to get rid of it, except she has already lost her kingdom and family.

Can psypher's affect the ring?
>>
>>32021435
>dragon

Would need a powerful ass dragon considering even the strongest one in middle earth couldn't do that and he was like large enough to see from China in france. Something like the last dragon might be able to do it. But in general you need mount dooms fires due to the magic in the ring.

>Although I don't really know what the ring could appeal for in them.

It mainly works on their desires and twists it. Like it would probably show Oswald or Gwen a future in which both are unaging and have enough power to protect them for eternity. Mercedes would probably see herself as being a queen more powerful and great then her mother ever was and crushing Odin with it. Velvet would probably see herself with enough strength to crush the Mad king Valentine and changing him back to normal.

Mean it took a Sams goal of being a gardener and almost corrupted him with it.

Why doesn't Guts just break the ring withhis Dragonslayer snd his inhumanly stregnth?
>>
>>32021435

I'd tend to say "yes but no". Yes because they basically run on souls and absorb them. What would happen if they destroyed it and Sauron got absorbed, I don't know. But for narrative reasons that'd be no fun, so let's say no.
>>32021572
If the ring is as powerful as you say it is, how the hell did bilbo hand it over?
Irregardless, they're in Middle-earth. The desires regarding Odin, Valentine or their kingdoms would mean nothing to them anymore.
That reminds me, Oswald is pretty touchy about "being used". I'm pretty sure knowledge of what the ring it does to people wouldn't fly well with him at all. What about magic? Didn't Velvet become "the witch of the forest" or something? couldn't she do something?

Also, for the sheer stupidity of:
"Dio, why did you assume I was only wearing TEN rings? You've missed half of them!"
"No... It's impossible!"

I just realized that one of those 'raiths is protected by prophecy. Guts does not into fate.

Would Guts still be a giant evil magnet in Middle Earth?
Guts would probably end up fighting the Ents, which is sad.
Who could conceivable defeat Guts? Saruman or some other magic-user? Some FĂ«anor-teir elf? Smaug? A balrog? Since he doesn't have the berserker armor, I guess a group of elves might be able to archer him to death.
I want to see Guts fight Shelob.
I want to see Guts at Helm's Deep.
I bet Guts wouldn't even take the ring to Mt Doom, he'd just climb the tower and stick Dragonslayer right in Sauron's big red eye first.

Why isn't there a crossover fanfic of this?

> how the hell did bilbo hand it over?

Sauron wasn't as active during that time so the ring wasn't working as hard and bilbo was rich as shit and naturally resistant being a hobbit. Gwen and them are just normal humans and the ring can really fuck them up. Compared to a hobbit.

>Irregardless, they're in Middle-earth. The desires regarding Odin, Valentine or their kingdoms would mean nothing to them anymore.

Ring would most likely show them going back to their home using it's power even if it's impossible because the ring lies and even in a case where it doesn't Gwen and Oswald have pretty strong desires for each other so it would probably get into them really fast. Even Sauron himself couldn't imagine destroying the ring so bound he was and this was the guy who scared off an entire army with his presence and will. Which is why he never thought to watch against that.

>What about magic? Didn't Velvet become "the witch of the forest" or something? couldn't she do something?

Need some high grade magic. Only people I can think of off the top of my head who can destroy the ring without the fires is Feanor the guy who stuck some of the light at the beginning of the world into orbs and The blacksmith god who was the greatest smith ever. About the only person that might have a chance to destroy the ring I can think of from Odin sphere is prime king Valentine before he sundered his powers into the coins.
>>
>>32021761

The Ring was done with Bilbo, it knew Bilbo was retiring and also that Sauron was searching for it+mobilizing his armies. So it allowed itself to be separated from Bilbo because Frodo was more likely to be caught.
>>
>>32022268
You're joking, right?
We all know there's only one girl for guts: the mentally challenged rape victim who hates him, and who he has to continuously convince himself he won't kill in a fit of rage at the injustice of her condition, and the strain it puts on him.
>>
>>32022238
>I want to see Guts fight Shelob.

He might actually lose that one. Only reason Sam won was due to having a magic sword and her charging face first into him breaking her nigh unbreakable armor.

>I want to see Guts at Helm's Deep.

He'd do pretty well. Biggest issue is protecting the wooden walls honestly. Mainly because as strong as guts is he can't take a army worth of arrows.

>I bet Guts wouldn't even take the ring to Mt Doom, he'd just climb the tower and stick Dragonslayer right in Sauron's big red eye first.

Sauron is one of the few beings in middle earth who could defeat guts to be honest. This is the guy who scared a army off with his presence and only died to 3 of the greatest superhuman men of the age football tackling him.

There's more to him than you think.
>>
>>32022499
Biggest difference is the ring really could give him a bullshit lot of strength compared to that guy. It's also got a mystical effect to drive you to want it. Like the only being who could destroy the ring at doom was a 4000 some year old elf with more willpower then God and even then he would have to jump into the fires because he couldn't handle the thought of giving it up.
>>
>>32019146
Kenshiro is a good example, he could get corrupted and end up being a one man army of a tyrant. Marching endlessly up and down the lands making brutal examples out of anyone who does not conform to his brand of Justice. Somewhat like American foreign policy.

Post-Roah Kenshiro though, is bullshit plot armor and would easily shrug off the ring and break Sauron with the power of moralfag.

Dio meanwhile, makes many more rings for his toes, nipples, cock, ears...dude is bling.

Not quite true one can master the ring with enough of that and if done so would kill Sauron just as much as if he had tossed it in the fires. Course then right afterwards you become the new dark lord.
>>
>>32023083
>Becoming Sauron is resisting the Ring's influence.
That's some seriously selective thinking.
>>
>>32022443
>breaking her nigh unbreakable armor.
That sounds exactly like what the Demonslayer did at the beginning with the apostles' skins. Except it became magic later. And we all know Guts doesn't need the enemy to set up itself for a thrust of his sword. Specially considering he's been able to hit some apostles that supposedly moved at mach speed (butterfly girl, anyone?).
>>
>>32023194
Well you won't become Sauron exactly. If Gandolf did it he would be just as wise as he was before but his wisdom would lead him to think he should decide everything. So you would become a dark lord just one based on you. It is also theoretically possible to be strong enough to toss the ring. But you pretty much have to be as mentally strong as Elrond.

>>32023248
Yeah be hard to pull the same trick sam did though since the dragon slayer is fuck off huge and her armor is really insane. I think it was if I remember right something built out of a magical material of nothingness or something.

He would probably win but even the dragon slayer would have issues doing anything. It's pretty hard to kill a demigod spider born out of a being born from nothingness.
