For instance, Rick Hunter, one of the lead characters who was a cocky pilot himself, is more than ready to acknowledge that Max is far better than himself, which of course makes him a great wingmate to have with you in battle. He's made a nice guy and a hopeless romantic (who almost gets in a Star-Crossed Lovers romance at some point, but manages to make his Hot Amazon rival pull a Heel Face Turn) to make him more of a sympathetic character, though, and the heroes want to have him for a friend both on and off duty. In the show's proper run, main character Kenshin (himself already famous as a savant of swordsmanship) struggles for months trying to learn how to fight as well as his master, and only gains the right to inherit his master's mantle after a very, very hard struggle-at which point his master reveals that the cape he wears is literally lined with a large amount of metal weights, meaning that he was still probably twice as strong as his student. In the OAV prequel to the show ("Trust and Beatrayal"), Seijuro is introduced by essentially causing a man to evaporate into nothing by hitting him so quickly with his sword. He is so ridiculously powerful that the story never pits him against anyone important, as there would be no dramatic tension involved. ![]()
