Have you ever been up against someone who made you go, “Wow, I haven’t got a snowball’s chance in hell in beating them” from the moment you met? On pixiv, characters that are so overpowering they make you lose the will to fight immediately are sometimes tagged #勝てる気がしない (kateru ki ga shinai, lit. “I don’t feel like I can win”). While this mainly applies to characters that are intimidating or wield unimaginable power, it sometimes applies to characters that are irresistibly cute too—after all, killing a person with cuteness is also entirely possible!

Tue, 17 May 2022 17:00:00 +0900

Mastering the art of swordsmanship is no easy feat. Becoming adept with just one sword can take decades of dedicated training, so it’s all the more impressive to see a character who can effortlessly wield two at the same time. Characters with this skill are usually ferocious on the battlefield with few they can truly call worthy opponents.

The ever-flamboyant Tengen Uzui (from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba) stands as one of the Demon Slayer Corps’ most fearsome and skilled swordsmen.

Hisashi Kagawa × Yoshihiko Umakoshi - Batoru Hiroin Sakuga & Dezain Tekunikku (Yoshihiko Umakoshi - Battle Heroine Drawing & Design Techniques) was released by Genkosha MOOK in May 2017.

If you're into a certain anime, you probably already heard these names; otherwise, just know that Kagawa and Umakoshi were in charge of the character design for, respectively, Fresh Pretty Cure! and HeartCatch PreCure!
