Barely picked up the series. So far, it's rather slow, but I like it.

Eh, Claire is more badass than him, but Ladd compensates by having all the best lines. At least that's the way I see it.

Claire wins in terms of badass, Ladd wins in terms of crazy. One is not necessarily more superior than the other. Though I admit I prefer Claire more because of his philosophy and morality - his particular type of personality, I feel, is somewhat less common than the garden variety Blood Knight that Ladd Russo is. At least it feels that way to me.

Not gonna touch the Claire issue with a 20.000 foot poll but yeah, Ladd is at least the most badass ANTAGONIST of the series, and is probably in the top 3 biggest Badasses overall. I love how... likeable he is. An Ax-Crazy psychopath sure, but I just can't make myself hate him.

And his relationship with Lua is my favourite in the entire series, it's just so weird to see a relationship born out of such horrid things (with an equally horrid endgame if Ladd's being serious, and I have no reason to doubt that he is) be so happy, and full of honest love. Motherfucker gives up an ARM for her

Ladd Russo is actually among my favourite characters.

Blowing off a 20k$ job to shoot a kid in the face with a shotgun? Awesome.

[up] "I envy Vickey... I REALLY DO!! THERE IS NO GOD IN THIS CRUEL CRUEL WORLD ANYMORE!! Cuz Vickey killed him I know it." One of my fav rants. No one seems to remember it though. He just seems so forlorn

[up][up]The fact that I hated Czeslaw at that point only made it better.

[up]That's another great moment. Pretty much everything Ladd says is gold.

Czeslaw. Yu wanna know how much I hated him? I hate Claire from the bottom of my heart, and I think he's the worst part of Baccano... I actually cheered as he was maiming Czeslaw. The smug BASTARD

I don't exactly HATE Claire, I just don't care for him. That was an awesome scene, though. Smug little brat.

Also, is it me, or does Ladd have two of the best fight scenes in the entire series?

and his first fight with Chane (his reaction to EVERYTHING in that battle is hysterical)

He makes one of the best villain exits of all time in that fight too.

That's part of why I love him so. His Blood Knight tendencies make him so entertaining. Hell, even when he simply draws his empty gun on his uncle it's awesome.

Also, when he uses the corpse of a black suit he just killed as a puppet and does, like, ventriloquism with him.

Ladd's not my favorite, but I greatly enjoyed the commentary from and about his English voice actor in the DVD bonus tracks. "He was the only one who kinda scared us, so the role was his to lose..."

I won't deny his Badassitude or the fact that every single one of his lines is golden.

I just can't stand him as a human being.
