Beggar's Marketing Strategy

Posted by Fred | Posted in | Posted on 17:33

On such a hot afternoon, I'm settling my assignment and getting frustrated. When log in in to Facebook I saw an article titled "乞丐的《市场营销学》让我惭愧!!" translated as Beggar's Marketing Strategy made me felt shamed on myself.


To fulfill my curiosity, I went through the article and below is the article I copied from the site.

“先生.. 行行好,给点吧。”
我一时无聊便在口袋里找出一个硬币扔给他并同他攀谈起来。
乞丐很健谈。
“.. 我只在华强北一带乞讨,你知道吗?
我一扫眼就见到你。在茂业买Levi’s,一定舍得花钱 ..”
“哦?你懂的蛮多嘛!”我很惊讶。
“做乞丐,也要用科学的方法。”他说。
我一愣,饶有兴趣地问“什么科学的方法?”
“你看看我和其他乞丐有什么不同的地方先?”
我仔细打量他,头发很乱、衣服很破、手很瘦,但都不脏。
他打断我的思考,说:
“人们对乞丐都很反感,但我相信你并没有反感我,这点我看的出来。
这就是我与其他乞丐的不同之处。”
我点头默认,确实不反感,要不我怎么同一个乞丐攀谈起来。
“我懂得swot分析,优势、劣势、机会和威胁..
对于我的竞争对手,我的优势是我不令人反感。
机会和威胁都是外在因素,无非是深圳人口多和深圳将要市容整改等。”
“我做过精确的计算。这里每天人流上万,穷人多,有钱人更多。
理论上讲,我若是每天向每人讨1块钱,那我每月就能挣30万。
但是,并不是每个人都会给,而且每天也讨不了这么多人。
所以,我得分析,哪些是目标客户,哪些是潜在客户。”
他润润嗓子继续说,
“在华强北区域,我的目标客户是总人流量的3成,成功几率70%。潜在客户占2成,成功几率50%;剩下5成,我选择放弃,因为我没有足够的时间在他们身上碰运气。”
“那你是怎样定义你的客户呢?”
我追问。
“首先,目标客户。就像你这样的年轻先生,有经济基础,出手大方。
另外还有那些情侣也属于我的目标客户,他们为了在异性面前不丢面子也会大方施舍。
其次,我把独自一人的漂亮女孩看作潜在客户,因为她们害怕纠缠,所以多数会花钱免灾。
这两类群体,年龄都控制在20~30岁。
年龄太小,没什么经济基础;
年龄太大,可能已结婚,财政大权掌握在老婆手中。
这类人,根本没戏,恨不得反过来找我要钱。”
“那你每天能讨多少钱。”我继续问。
“周一到周五,生意差点,两百块左右吧。周末,甚至可以讨到四、五百。”
“这么多?”
见我有些怀疑,他给我算了一笔帐。
“和你们一样,我也是每天工作8小时,上午11点到晚上7点,周末正常上班。我每乞讨1次的时间大概为5秒钟,扣除来回走动和搜索目标的时间,大概1分钟乞讨1次得1块钱,8个小时就是480块,再乘以成功几率60%[(70%+50%)÷2],得到将近300块。”
“千万不能黏着客户满街跑。如果乞讨不成,我决不死缠滥打。
因为他若肯给钱的话早就给了,所以就算腆着脸纠缠,成功的机会还是很小。
不能将有限的时间浪费在无施舍欲望的客户身上,不如转而寻找下一个目标。”
强!这个乞丐听上去真不可貌相,倒像是一位资深的市场营销总监..
“你接着说。”
我更感兴趣了,看来今天能学到新的东西了。
“有人说做乞丐是靠运气吃饭,我不以然。
给你举个例子,女人世界门口,一个帅气的男生,一个漂亮的女孩,你选哪一个乞讨?”
我想了想,说不知道..
“你应该去男的那儿。身边就是美女,他不好意思不给。
但你要去了女的那边,她大可假装害怕你远远地躲开。”
“再给你举个例子。那天cocopark门口,一个年轻女孩,拿着一个购物袋,刚买完东西;还有一对青年男女,吃着冰淇淋;第三个是衣着考究的年轻男子,拿着笔记本包。我看一个人只要3秒钟,我毫不犹豫地走到女孩面前乞讨。女孩在袋子里掏出两个硬币扔给我,并奇怪我为什么只找她乞讨。我回答说,那对情侣,在吃东西,不方便掏钱;那个男的是高级白领,身上可能没有零钱;你刚从超市买东西出来,身上肯定有零钱。”
有道理!我越听越有意思..
“所以我说,知识决定一切!”
我听十几个总裁讲过这句话,第一次听乞丐也这么说..
“要用科学的方法来乞讨。天天躺在天桥上,怎么能讨到钱?走天桥的都是行色匆匆的路人,谁没事走天桥玩,爬上爬下的多累。要用知识武装自己,学习知识可以把一个人变得很聪明,聪明的人不断学习知识就可以变成人才。21世纪最需要的是什么?就是人才。”
“有一次,一人给我50块钱,让我替他在楼下喊 ‘安红,我想你’,喊100声。我一合计,喊一声得花5秒钟,跟我乞讨一次花费的时间相当,所得的酬劳才5毛钱,于是我]拒绝了他。”
“在深圳,一般一个乞丐每月能讨个千儿八百。运气好时的大概两千多点。全深圳十万个乞丐,大概只有十个乞丐,每月能讨到一万以上。我就是这万里挑一中的一个。
而且很稳定,基本不会有很大的波动。”
太强了~!我越发佩服这个乞丐了。
“我常说我是一个快乐的乞丐。其他乞丐说是因为我讨的钱多,所以快乐。我对他们说,你们正好错了。正是因为我有快乐、积极的心态,所以讨的钱多。”
说的多好啊!
“乞讨就是我的工作,要懂得体味工作带来的乐趣。雨天人流稀少的时候,其他乞丐都在抱怨或者睡觉。千万不要这样,用心感受一下这坐城市的美。晚上下班后带着老婆孩子逛街玩耍看夜景,一家三口其乐融融,也不枉此生了。若是碰到同行,有时也会扔个硬币,看着他们高兴的道谢走开,就仿佛看见自己的身影。”
“你还有老婆孩子?” 我不禁大声赞叹,引来路人侧目。
“我老婆在家做全职太太,孩子念小学。我在福田区按揭了一套房,十年分期,还差六年就还清了。我要努力挣钱,供我儿子读大学念市场营销专业,然后子承父业当一个比我更出色的乞丐。”
“我5年前在微硬中华大区做市场策划,2年前升为营销经理,月薪5千。要死要活的。后来我想这样永远也出不了头,就辞职不干了,下海来做乞丐,我愿意做一个高素质的乞丐。”
听完,我激动地说:“你有没有兴趣收我做徒弟..”
看完这则故事以后。我真的很感慨..
怎么自己还不如一个乞丐啊~ 惭愧,惭愧啊!

分享感想:
作为一个乞丐,他只是为了生活。
让家人过上像样的日子。
让生活有所改善。
让孩子能有普通群众的子女一样的生活环境。
在他的工作中做过市场分析。
而且很透彻的市场分析!
所以导致他和大多乞丐在收入上形成数倍的差距。
这说明什么呢?
在同一个生活、生存环境中都是做同样的行业,
为什么会有如此大的 “不平等”?
每个人都感觉这是多么的 “不平等”,但是只是每个人都只看见结果..
并没有去做到这几点:
1. 选择策划对象
2. 有针对的市场调查
3. 详细的市场分析
4. 寻找市场突破点
(这1-4点,如果您是专业的策划、营销、设计师,这些东西基本上可以来源于您的日常生活,因为您会每时每刻的去关注,从您专业的角度去关注、去分析。丰富头脑和积累知识。看见的每个场景您都会提出相关的解决和优化方案。因为您的脑海中每时每刻都在收集、整理、分析。都在想:怎么解决问题、怎么优化能使其发挥更大作用,让商家得到更大利益。)
5. 提出解决方案
6. 论证解决方案的可行性
这是我们见到的做策划(先号称策划吧)人的无限悲哀!
不管你是谁,不管你在当前企业里是做的什么职位!
(我只说大部分策划人,希望您不是这中间说道的现状之一)?还是你只是个小兵?!
在策划中你做到了吗?
也许你有几年、十几年、几十年的资深策划经验。拥有成功案例无数。做过什么什么大公司、大集团、跨国企业、全宇宙前多少位的企业的什么什么品牌策划。创造出什么什么人类名牌。这些是在很多策划人的简历上看见的。大家都会这样写来推销自己。希望可以在下个东家那儿拿到丰厚的待遇和享受到更好的福利。
但是市场在分秒中可以产生出千万种变化。
你的经验只能说明你的过去。
在现在策划中,那只是给你的策划思路上做到的一条运作思路指导。

所以在策划与营销中,您必须有市场调研、资料收集、资料整理、分析,这样您才可能做出可行性的市场营销客观的策划方案,一份适合地域、环境、实际的营销方案。




A nice article to be read and perhaps give me a shock as well. Well after a nice reading session and it's time for me to finish my assignment. Even a beggar can be come a nice marketers, why would I can't achieve to be a successful marketer?

Tales of Jericho

Posted by Fred | Posted in , | Posted on 16:08

There's a teenager named Jericho. With an ordinary looks, nothing special, one word: ordinary, to describe him. As Jericho's daily routine, he just attend classes, hanging out with friends, surfing Internet and doing revision like other ordinary students. He always believe that he got nothing special beneath himself, perhaps being ordinary wasn't a bad thing.


As a net surfer, there's a girl named Jacqueline starts to appear in his life. Both Jericho and Jacqueline initially had a nice conversation through instant messaging in the Internet. Both of them frequently encourage each other to face problems in their real life. Communication continues for quite a period, both of them decided to meet each other. Through their second meeting, Jacqueline request to start a relationship with Jericho, the reason Jericho is a nice guy. Jericho know that Jacqueline is ambitious and bold. Her actions are impulsive and highly optimistic by nature. Due to her sincerity, Jericho decided to give each other a chance. Jericho demand a lady who know how to cook, cheer him up and able to share everything with her. For him, coupling also means 2 individuals grow together to face the world, encouragement from each other is very important. Although Jacqueline don't know how to cook and kind of bold, he also tolerate with her because nobody is perfect include himself. As simple like ABC, a pair of new couple starts to appear in the town.

Both Jericho and Jacqueline demand a low profile relationship, that's why not much people know about it. People who knows about it are close friends of them. Jericho always worried that Jacqueline being alone and don't have companions, he frequently visit her. She stays quite far from Jericho but Jericho insist to visit her because that's his responsibility. Both of them are having life which ordinary couples had. Nice scenes never maintain forever, after a month they couple up, storm cloud starts to appear between them.

One day, Jacqueline felt sick and of course Jericho is definitely worried about her condition. Jericho go to her place and take care of her. Well with all the worries on his heart, he barely can smile towards Jacqueline and thinking what else he can do to help her. The next day, Jacqueline appears to seem OK in the beginning but sickness starts to conquer her again. Jericho is extra ordinary worry about her and go to her place immediately. On the moment, Jacqueline keep denying that she's sick. Her sickness and her patient reached to limit, she start to get real mad on Jericho. Jericho used to ask her the reason when she smile randomly, and to Jacqueline his method shows irrespectively. As a man, Jericho put his pride away and admit the mistake but it seems like Jacqueline still mad about it. When coupling with Jacqueline, this is the first time Jericho felt sad because he felt like his efforts for all along are nothing for Jacqueline. It seems like Jacqueline never appreciate what he had done to her. His teasing towards Jacqueline, with the purpose to cheer up the situation seems like showing disrespect towards her. With a broken heart, Jericho went home with a tired body. At that moment, Jericho actually have tonnes of works waiting for him to solve. By putting Jacqueline as his priority, and this is what he obtain exhaust and the feeling of despair which he think he had abandon it a long time ago.

On the next day, Jericho really fail to hide his despair and sadness, decided to be share with Jacqueline. Jacqueline seems like mad towards Jericho. He tried to get comfort from her, but it ended up he is the one who try to cheer Jacqueline. It's OK for him because Jericho willing to tolerate and bring what's best to both of them. Jacqueline demand this and that characteristic from Jericho to have a change and Jericho agree without thinking twice. He just want her to cheer up but at the same time his despair in his heart is getting darker and deeper. When the moment Jericho asking whether Jacqueline willing to change for him like what he currently did to her now, it's like a taboo. This question starts to turn the table off. Jacqueline decided to break up with Jericho, but Jericho wanted to save the relationship. For him, every relationships is precious and he told her to take it as an experience in their relationship. With her attitude, she just won't give a damn anymore and decided to break up. With a broken heart, that night was a sleepless night for Jericho again. It's been 3 days Jericho being sleepless. 1st day was worried about Jacqueline's condition, 2nd day was about his despair and 3rd day was the end of his relationship with Jacqueline.

Jericho wonders, Jacqueline didn't fulfill his demand condition as his dream girl but he still accept her. Why Jacqueline can't tolerate for this time and appears like she did nothing wrong at all. Jericho bears all the sin during their relationship, carry all the bad things even he didn't did it. He tried to get up over a break-up by doing this that he like such as shopping, have nice meals, having alcohol drinks at a nice surrounding and watch dramas. The question: what is my mistake still stick in his mind. After a week he break up with Jacqueline, he had a conversation with her again, asking about his mistake. Jacqueline told him that she demand a simple relationship, but wasn't that what Jericho is providing all along and she still can't feel it.

Calling her cute nickname like other couples had trampling her pride, showing disrespect towards her by the method he teasing her by asking what are you smiling at, and never trust her view which is Jericho must admit Jacqueline wasn't sick but the fact she's really sick.

Jacqueline, Jericho learn that treating everyone too nice isn't gonna works. He'll continue his life but with a theory in his mind: "why should I treat you so nice? I'll treat you based on the way you treat me." Jericho is also a normal human being, he had his own anger, and same goes to Jacqueline. Jericho being tolerate when the moment she being mad but why don't she did the same thing as well. Isn't that tolerate should available in a relationship? The absence of Jacqueline's tolerance is one of the facts that made both of them back to single life. Jericho changed a lot for others demand, want him appears to be full with humour, cheerful and etc. This time, like what Jacqueline demand (change for your own purpose) he changed for his own purpose, no more "Mr Nice Guy" to strangers or ordinary people. All along he tried to protect others but what he got is a bleeding heart and a body full with scars and pain, no people never and ever appreciate his efforts. Perhaps it's time for him to protect himself being hurt by others. That's the only thing he learn from coupling with Jacqueline. Until now, Jericho still had a question in his heart for Jacqueline: "would you willing to change your personality for me?"

Thank you, Jacqueline.

Thank you...


The End Draws Near

The whale had been in the deep sea region for quite some time. It's time for the whale to return and it means it's time for the whale to meet the jellyfish again. During the moment in the deep sea region, communication between the whale and the jellyfish is still available.

Lately, the old companion of the jellyfish appears again. Although it's not the first time he appears since the whale know him but this time he came back with preparation. He manage to drag the attention of the jellyfish until the jellyfish forgot the appearance of the whale. Since the whale is in the deep sea region, he can't come back in time due to personal reason. Now it seems like it's the end for the whale and the jellyfish being together.

Not being sad and down for the whale is a lie. The whale used to be good in hiding his emotion but this time he seriously fail to achieve until the nearby sea creatures also can sense it. The whale still believe there's still hope available. Is it the stubbornness or being optimistic? God knows....

The silly whale almost lost his interest to continue wandering around in the deep sea region and hope to be with the jellyfish to solve all the issues. The old companion of the jellyfish is truly annoying his mind but the whale can't do a thing. Now there's a important event happening in the deep sea region and the whale must do his best to get a nice score for the event. The motivations that he used to had, it seems like disappearing and fading.

There's a type of love named no fate and there's a type of abandon named fulfill.

Should the whale fulfill the desire of the old companion of the jellyfish and abandon his own demand by let them couple back together?

Actually what the whale want is a companion who really cares about him and prove to himself that he still had the passion to get himself a companion. It seems like there's a mountain blocking him to achieve this objectives all the time.

Choose among to love or being loved.

The whale will choose to love the one he like and try hard to change her opinion towards him. The whale tried his best for what he had done but there's no appreciation from his ex-companions as well. Maybe for the next time, the whale may choose to being loved by others. The whale is tired, exhausted and disappointed by it's past experience.

It's time for him to change his view of life....

Tales of a wandering whale...

Once upon a time, there's a young whale which always swimming in a pack with his kind.

One day this young whale get lost with it's group and separated from them.
This lonely whale keep swimming in the ocean hoping to trace it's way back to his group.

On his journey, this whale manage to make friends with other sea creatures.
They never fail to cheer the whale when it's moody and always provide it a hand.


The whale manage to regain it's confidence and never looks dull and worry like in the past.

Among this sea creatures, this whale had a crush with a jellyfish.
They always swim together and the whale want to know more about this jellyfish.


One day the whale must swim into the deep sea area which other sea creature's can't follow it due to high water pressure.
The whale felt freaking sad because he gonna left it's gang especially jellyfish.


Before it swim into the deeper zone in the ocean, the sea creatures threw a party for it and wish the whale good luck in it's future path.
At the same time, the whale brought it's guts and confess to the jellyfish but it turns up an epic fail.

Well this whale just won't give up so easily, it try to get near to the jellyfish and try to entertain it.
Both of them had a chance to swim in pairs.
During that time of period the whale took out it's courage and confess again but the result still being the same

Jellyfish told the whale: "you gonna left soon and you'll manage to get some better fish to accompany you in your journey. I can't endure the high water pressure like you had. this is what God gave you. The ability to explore the ocean more than other creatures but not me".

The whale, of course turning even sad and ask whether next time when he manage to find it's pack back which consume it some couple of years, will the jellyfish provide it a chance to being together?

The jellyfish just tell the whale to find someone better than itself. The whale is kinda confuse, is it because of having a different background with the jellyfish, so the offer being rejected.


Well the whale think that both of them should provide each other a chance to explore the ocean together to know whether they can be good partners.

Now, the whale put all of it's hope in the search of the deep ocean.
Other sea creatures continue their life as usual in the ocean.
The whale is alone again like during the past.
The only thing different is now it miss jellyfish so badly.

The whale is wandering:
1. whether jellyfish will change it's mind to partner together with it again in the future.
2. will the jellyfish really willing to wait the whale to return?


In your opinion, is it worth for the whale to miss the jellyfish?

My Top 15 Favourite Anime or Manga Characters.

Posted by Fred | Posted in , , , | Posted on 22:42

Well a few more days later, I'll end my carefree life like what I'm having now. Anime-ing and Runescape-ing life gonna end soon. Well let's don't talk about Runescape but talk about anime and manga. Since last year December until now, I read manga and watch anime like a maniac. Let me share with you some interesting fictional characters that kinda impressed me.





Let me start from 15 to 1.




15. Sagara Sousuke from Full Metal Panic!



He's a Sergent within the paramilitary counter-terrorist force Mithril in the story and he was ordered to protect Chidori (the female protagonist) from being kidnapped. Well since he joined the army in a young age, he's one important asset to the Mithril because he is is a specialist in Arm Slave(something like GUNDAM) and proficient in logistics, demolitions, breach and forced entry, covert intrusion, and hand to hand combat. His background and experience as a guerrilla fighter, and later a mercenary soldier has made him much more sensitive and knowledgeable about tactics and methods more commonly used by guerrillas than government trained regulars. 

I like about him is because he got no social skills at all! When he received his order to being a high school student to protect Chidori, he even brings a submachine gun to school or plants land mine around the school. The favourite part I love about him is his impression to condom is an apparatus that can fill a liter of water. Here's a funny part between Sagara and Chidori




14. Gokudera Hayato from Katekyo Hitman Reborn!




Gokudera Hayato aka Hurricane Bomb Hayato, was a talented pianist but he decided to become a Mafia after his mother's death. He's a dynamic specialist and he used Systema C.A.I (Cambio Arma Istantaneo) to fight in the future as displayed on the left. He's the right-hand man of Tsuna in the story. He's a loyal friend and he's kinda 'anti' Tsuna's friends fearing they might attack Tsuna. His loyalty made me impressed about him and he's damn cool. Check out the fight between Gokudera with Ganma in the future (it's just a part of the fight):




13. Kikumaru Eiji from Prince of Tennis.


The flexible tennis player who used acrobatic skills in the story. He teamed with Oishi and two of them were the best player in Sengaku's Tennis Team. In the story, his vision is as sharp as a hawk and good in watching moving objects. His graceful dives and flips astonish the spectators and often gets grudging praise from his opponents, which helps Eiji focus. The point I like about him wasn't his tennis skills but his characteristic. Eiji is a friendly, sweet-tempered and outgoing character. 


12. Sir Crocodile from One Piece.


Sir Crocodile, once a Shichibukai (7 Warlords of  The Sea) and his Shichibukai title was being taken away because of his action at Arabasta Kingdom. He's the sandman in One Piece story and he can turn into sand reflexively if attacked. While in a desert area, his powers make him nearly invincible. Crocodile has the ability to create huge sand storms, make multiple bladed weapons out of sand, and create quicksand. He can also suck all the moisture out of any object, living or non-living, by placing his right hand on them.Cool right? 

He's a man who had full confidence on himself. He trust no one even his allies and has no honor in himself. Crocodile has shown to be extremely cynical and cold-hearted. He displays complete disregard of the romantic pirate lifestyle, stating that all the things the Pirate King once had mean nothing to him. He places more importance in military power. Now he isn't as cold hearted like he used to be. Why? Check the manga because I don't wanna be a spoiler. Here's a video about Crocodile vs Luffy in Arabasta Kingdom:



11. Manjoume Jun from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.


Once he was an arrogant and ego duelist (that's what they called a card player in the series) in Duel Academy. After lost to Judai for times, he left Duel Academy and came back to challenge Duel Academy representing North Academy but he was defeated again by Judai. However, he realized the errors of his ways and able to take charge of his own life. Later, he plays the role of being a rival to Yuki Judai and starts his career as a profesional duelist in the Pro League Duelist. 

He faced worst situation when he left Duel Academy in the first season and managed to strike back in a better condition in no time. Although he was in a rich family, he didn't want to get help from his brothers to sponsor him in Pro League Duelist instead he wanted to get sponsorship based on his own ability. He's a charismatic teenager too. When he was in Duel Academy, he would use his quote when he won in a duel.  His quote is "iichi, hyaku, sen, Manjōme-sandā" (一、十、百、千、万丈目サンダー meaning one, ten, hundred, thousand, Manjoume Thunder), which serves as a pun given that the "Man" portion of his surname is the symbol for the number ten-thousand, and is preceded by the numbers one (ichi), ten (), hundred (hyaku), and thousand (sen). In the latter case, he also acquires the moniker "Manjoume Thunder" (万丈目サンダー; Manjōme Sandā). Due to his insistence that he be addressed respectfully, he often finds himself correcting others who merely call him "Manjoume" by saying "Manjōme-san da!" ("It's Manjoume-san!"; "-san" being a Japanese honorific). The students of North School, however, mistook the title as "Manjoume Thunder" ("sandā" being a Japanese pronunciation of the word "thunder"), and the name stuck upon his return to Duel Academia.


10. Roronoa Zoro from One Piece.



One of the main protagonist in One Piece and he's Luffy first member of Straw Hat Pirates. He's the best fighter in the crew after Luffy. He is also one of the 11 newbies pirates that has bounty above 100,000,000 which called The Eleven Supernovas. He's a swordsman who use Santōryū, which is a way of sword fighting that deals with the wielding of 3 Katana ; one in each hand and one in the mouth.

Zoro has a unique personality. Zoro usually maintains a stern, serious and distanced personality, but often loses his temper in a goofy and exaggerated comical style. He can also be extremely intimidating, easily frightening weaker opponents with just his glare.He has an awful sense of direction and is capable of getting lost on a straight path! He's also get himself in hardcore training just to achieve his goal as the best swordsman in the world. Although he looks stupid all the time but Zoro can provide important and logical decisions at critical times by evaluating the situation from an objective point of view. 

Let me prove to you why he have a bounty of 120,000,000 :




 

I bet many of you know who he is. He's the Prince of all Saiyans, Vegeta. He is an arrogant, and filled with hatred and bitterness as a result of the destruction of his home planet and his race's abusive treatment at the hands of Frieza. His royal status seems to have caused him to develop an inflated sense of superiority, and he holds himself above most people he encounters. He is very proud of his Saiyan heritage and believes that his race is the most powerful in the universe. He is one of the best fighter in the whole series and he is also a quote machine in Dragonball Z series, my favourite is:

"No!! Get out of my Head!...You may have invaded my mind and my body...But there's one thing a Saiyan always keeps...his PRIDE!"

The Final Flash was his finisher move and it's kinda cool:

*stupid dubbed version..*



8. Lambo from Katekyo Hitman Reborn!




Lambo (Left picture, the kid in the left) is a 5-year-old Italian assassin affiliated with the Bovino Family. He comes to Japan to kill Reborn, so he can prove that he is worthy of becoming his own family's boss but he fail. As the series progresses, this crybaby Lambo stay with Tsuna (protagonist) and becomes one of Tsuna's six Vongola guardians, The Guardian of Thunder, and has to confront various enemies from the Vongola despite his young age. When Lambo shoots himself with the Ten-Year Bazooka from Bovino family, he transforms into his future self from 10 years later nicknamed "Adult Lambo" (Left picture, the person in the right) by switching the target with their own self from ten years later for five minutes. Every time Lambo loses his cool, he uses it on himself, switching with his 15-year-old self and in this form, he switches his cow suit for a casual suit and cow-print shirt. Adult Lambo is shown to be handsome, but he remains a crybaby. When Adult Lambo uses the Ten-Year Bazooka, he transforms into his 25-year-old self (right picture). This version of Lambo is seen as having much more discipline, strength and intelligence than of his past selves, even being capable of almost easily defeating Levi a than during the tournament in the 5-minute effects of the Ten-Year Bazooka. Lambo mostly being hate by most of the readers and audience because this 5-years old crybaby is annoying but for me, I liked Lambo's design, while others found his actions in the series to be entertaining and funny. Watch the video below about 25-years old Lambo:




7. Urahara Kisuke from Bleach.


Urahara Kisuke, looks like a slacker and a jovial person but actually he's a true Genius in disguise! Back to 110 years ago, Urahara was the Captain of 12 Division. He's the one who inventing all kind of gadgets to the Shinigami and he was the bring birth to the Shinigami Research and Development Institute (something like R&D Lab in the story). Although he always speaks politely, but is sometimes sarcastic, Urahara also shows a deceptively-different, cunning, and serious side of his personality when the situation demands for it. He know when to play and when to get serious and that's why I like this fella. Check on his fight in the anime, he never fail in distract his opponents from his true intentions and K.O his opponent.



6. Saito Hajime from Rurouni Kenshin.

His first appearance was in Rurouni Kenshin Season 2. He is a former captain in the loyalist Shinsengumi, Saito has had a long time rivalry with Himura Kenshin, a former manslayer of the Imperialist cause. Saitō, known as the "Lone Wolf of Mibu," has no compassion or mercy for his enemies. He lives by the Shinsengumi code "Swift Death to Evil" (Aku Soku Zan, also translated loosely as "Evil Unto Evil," where evil is killing), though he never shows much regard for human life, at some points even letting on that he likes to kill. He is rather morbid and arrogant. Nevertheless, none of these character flaws prevent him from being a superb investigator and fighter. He believes in peace and order, even in the society created by his former enemies. Anyone he considers to be corrupt or despotic, he targets for elimination. Saito is an able observer and a quick analyst in the story too. By the way, Saito Hajime is actually a real person who once appear in Meiji era.




5. Piccolo from DragonballDragonball Z / Dragonball GT / Dragonball Kai.


In Dragonball, he was a antagonist and trained hard to kill Goku who killed his father, Piccolo Daimao. Since Goku defeat him for once, he hide himself and trained hard and wish to overcome Goku in the future. In Dragonball Z series, he joined force with Goku because the appearance of Raditz and to prevent from Earth being destroyed by the other 2 Saiyans (Vegeta and Neppa) that will be coming soon. In that time, Piccolo started to train Gohan into a fighter. Although he looks strict but he also aid young Gohan indirectly. He's consider a good teacher. In the series, he train Gohan more than Goku did because Piccolo thinks that Goku is 'too kind' to be a teacher. Piccolo actually also have his kind side although he is evil of Kami. He sacrificed himself to prevent Gohan being killed by Neppa. Beside of Gohan, he also trained Goten and Trunks to overcome Majin Buu. In Dragonball GT, he goes to Heaven but then requests to be sent to Hell in order to free Goku when he is imprisoned there. He can be seen putting Hell in order and protecting the rulers there. This is the moment where I start to like Piccolo till the end of Dragonball GT series.


*Damn! I can't find the subbed version, the dubbed version sucks!*


4. Nnoitra Jiruga from Bleach.

 

Nnoitra Jiruga, the Quinta Espada which means his the 5th strongest among the 10 EspadaHe has the self-proclaimed strongest hierroof any Espada, both past and present, enabling him to block attacks, even from blade wielding opponents, by his skin alone. As a result, combined with his rudeness and arrogance, he wishes to fight only the strongest and spares the weak as it is a waste of his time. He firmly believes in male chauvinism, hating the idea of a woman being stronger than or outranking a man with intent to give any woman in such a position their "deserved" inferior rank. His released form, Santa Teresa which means Sacred Crying Mantis, have 6 arms and each of his hands gains an identical scythe-like weapon. He is also having insatiable blood lust and hunger for battle. Although he loves to battle, he wishes to be treated as equally as every other opponent he has treated. Ironically, he treated virtually everyone of his opponents the same way, unfairly and through dishonorable methods. He also does not hesitate to use any means - even unfair ones - in order to prove his superiority in the battlefield. He also have a little concern to his subordinate by having attempted to warn Tesla to withdraw from battle after he determined via his analyser that Kenpachi was stronger than he had initially anticipated. His fight between Kenpachi is one of the best fighting scene in Bleach, below is the video where he and Kenpachi started to make the fight interesting:



3. Kaiba Seto from Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monster.



Kaiba Seto is the majority shareholder and CEO of his own multi-national company, KaibaCorp, who aims to become the world's greatest player of the Duel Monsters card game, by gaining the 3 of 4 Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards. To accomplish this goal, he must defeat his arch-rival, Muto Yugi. He is largely considered an anti-hero, as his motives are usually ego-centric, but in several cases towards a good cause. Among one of the recurring plots in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, Seto is being forced to deal with either people adversely affected by Kaiba Gozaburo's actions wanting to take their revenge on Seto, or people from within KaibaCorp attempting to take over the corporation.

In the series of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Kaiba omits honorifics and has a "rude" pattern of speech! Kaiba usually calls Katsuya Jonouchi names, such as "bonkotsu" (mediocre), "make-inu" (pathetic dog, loser), "uma no hone" (a nobody), and "zako" (insignificant person, weakling). What belongs to Kaiba only can be used by himself. He hates other people to use his cards, especially his beloved Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Although he seems like a bad brats, but his dueling (card playing) skills is smart and unpredictable. He can defeat majority of the duelist WITHOUT using the power of Millennium Items like Marik, Yugi, Doma, Bakura and etc. He loves and cares about his brother more than anything else. To save his brother, he willing to put his life and company on the stake. Among all the duelist who didn't aid by Millennium Items or any special power, he's the best among all of them! Kaiba Seto also brings a lot of influence during my teenager life. He's one of the frictional character who I took as my motivation in life because he is absolute refusal to believe in the powers of magic often used in the series and openly admits to believing in all the supernatural events occurring around him instead of just ignorantly saying they don't exist. 



2. Sanji from One Piece.

 

Sanji looks more perceptive than he seems, and often tells people what they need to hear instead of what they want. Hence, he is seen as one of the more hardened members of the crew and can often be as scary as Zoro at times. However, he is not afraid to show his emotions when the moment calls for it, and is entirely capable of crying or losing his temper. In fact, a running gag has appeared since Sanji's fight with Jyabura, during which he stated that when he gets angry, he 'heats up'. After this fight, when Sanji gets particularly angry at a villain, he appears to burst into flame. He is very amorous, constantly flirting with any attractive woman he sees, earning him the nickname "ero-cook". He has sworn to never let women be insulted or injured while he can still stand, regardless of how unattractive they are. This is often problematic in his fighting as he can't attack female opponents; he would keep blocking their attacks and never attack them even once. One of Sanji's most prominent characteristics is a strong respect towards food and preparation of food in the kitchen; since food and sustenance play a crucial role in maintaining life, he strongly believes that a chef's work must be treated as though it was sacred.Sanji considers himself handsome and charming, often comparing himself to a fairytale prince. That's why he is so upset about his appearance in his wanted poster. Let's see how Sanji 'cook' you when you pissed him off.:



And finally, here's my favourite anime or manga character among all of them.

1. Ichimaru Gin from Bleach.



Ichimaru is fairly ordinary in terms of clothing, and doesn't wear any unique items. His overall appearance is not as normal as you think. He keeps his eyes constantly narrowed to slits, rarely ever opening his eyes. Although he appears to be an early to mid twenty-year-old person, he is unusually thin and tall with very sharp features giving him a skeletal appearance. He is one of the most mysterious Shinigami in the series, since his almost constant smile and slitted eyes, combined with his heavy use of sarcasm and mocking politeness, make it very difficult to discern his thoughts. Many find his demeanor and appearance rather unsettling and there are very few who are willing to trust him even before he is revealed as a traitor. Gin seems to be fully aware of the effect he has on others and more than once has been seen toying with people's emotional states for his own amusement. When he has free time, Captain Ichimaru goes on walking around Seireitei stalking people. Although his hobby is people-watching, it seems like he is possibly hunting around and searching for an opportunity to create mischief with some poor victim. The gentlemen of the 3rd Division are contrary, and they have the kind of attitude that enjoys that mean-spiritedness. He also has incredible skill at combat and have nice eye sight. No one able to predict what's his thinking and opinion even AizenGin has shown himself to be highly manipulative and deceptive even when it's evident. He comes out unscathed due to the calm confusion he plays at, which is a testament to his overall strategy. In his battle with Hitsugaya, Gin was able to manipulate the positions of three people so Hitsugaya would have to choose between saving his own life or Hinamori's without any visible effort. He has shown capable of simple deception by having his opponent focus on one thing to hide the true threat. No matter what happen, Ichimaru Gin will just smile to anyone, good in hiding his emotions and that's why he attracts me so much to him. In the beginning, Gin seems doesn't suitable to fight but I bet you will regret of saying that after you watch this video and for your info, he doesn't use full strength in this fight.




I think this would be the last post about anime. I hope after UPU announce the result, I'll be busy about my future studies and not spending too much time on watching anime. Wish me luck.
