No! That's not possible! How many years has it been since he's been introduced and he's still super powerful because?

Because he's just a filler character.

An entertaining one, but filler nonetheless.

Azrael is as strong as Mori wants him to be.

A cruel, sick joke is still a joke, and sometimes all you can do is laugh.

Azrael isn't exactly filler, since he does serve a purpose as a foil for Ragna.

To put it succinctly, he's the Kenpachi to Ragna's Ichigo.

He also serves as the heel rival for Kagura.

I do hate how we don't know why he's so strong though. What's the point of keeping it a secret?

Well having him just be powerful for the sake of it is gonna raise some eyebrows.

Everyone has some justification for their strength and abilities, Azrael just literally is...and that's it.

[up]It (and I may be wrong because I haven't touched this franchise in years) looks like a mystery in the same dint of "how are Goten and Trunks able to become Super Saiyans?".

Like, you're curious as to how seven year olds are able to do this but the story doesn't really care about going "woooh, how are they doing this, woooh?" It's just a thing they can do, deal.

Like, 1/8th of his power is enough to go toe-to-toe with Hakumen. Should we have sent him back in time to fight the Black Beast?

I didn't think anyone would use Bleach as a comparison to anything anymore.

I could've sworn that was his motivation in Central Fiction?

I absolutely agree, but I figure someone would use another Blood Knight as comparison.

Honestly Cell would probably be closer. All they want is a good garshdarn fight but everyone skipped leg day.

Even Cell is too articulate to be an example of comparison to the brutish Azrael.

Kenpachi is pretty much one of the most iconic examples of savage snarling Blood Knights only in it for a good fight.

[up] Wait, why are both Gluttony Fang and Gluttony Fang 2 on the list? Are the songs that have 2 versions considered separate?

Shit, I always preferred the CP versions of the songs to be better...

And notably that makes it the only II version on this top 20.

I like the II versions, but the originals I guess have more nostalgia associated with them.
