I'm making a composite Old Man Martial Artist profile for fun. Help.

[Amexim]

I already have plans on who I would exclude from this though. Like, Jiriyah is old, but he doesn't fit the aesthetic of Roshi, Bang, And Netero for example. So preferably only point out characters like that, but I can make an exception for Jiriyah because his skills are lit.

 

[Amexim]

I'm thinking Whitebeard, but he's too... Buff. Lol. At first at least. I'm trying to stick to feeble looking old men. They can pull a Roshi or have old man muscles underneath their clothes, and may even be tall, but... Whitebeard...? I like the suggestion but I also don't want to give this guy a weakness to water like that. Unless I can take powers to cancel it out.

 

[CryoTheMayo]

Hiruzen, despite becoming much weaker relatively later on, was hyped to hell and back in early Naruto as being so powerful and knowledgeable that he was the God of Shinobi. He also mentored Jiraiya, who you deemed a decent choice but not feeble enough.

Hiruzen would provide access to Wind, Fire, Earth, Lightning and Water Manipulation, as well as Illusion manipulation. In-fact, I'm pretty sure it's outright stated in some databooks that Hiruzen knows every single jutsu, hiden or otherwise, in Konoha. This would give him access to all of the abilities of the clans of Konoha.

Also, he would cancel out Whitebeard's inability to swim due to water-walking.

Whitebeard isn't a martial artist, his combat focuses more in the use of his devil fruit and bisento.

 

[PsychoWarper]

Would Old Man Yama from Bleach work?

 

[GyroNutz]

Would Master Oogway count?

 

[Ryope]

Yamamoto Netero and Whitebeard aren't Martial Art fighter

 

[PsychoWarper]

Yamamoto could be considered a MA but I guess hes more of a swordsman and just fighter.

 

[Paul_Frank]

Lancer (Li Shuwen) his second key is Old Man Li and he doesn't use a spear, no clue why it's not it's own profile

His martial art is bajiquan

 

[Amexim]

Old Man Yama works, Li works, and I forgot Hiruzen. He's perfect. And Netero is a a Martial Artist.

 

[Amexim]

Um, i'm Thinking of Gen from Street Fighter. And Ryu and Ken's Master....? Too buff, but his calmness fits. Doesn't really add much in terms of abilities either of them.

 

[AwkguyDB]

Heihachi Mishima?

 

[Hl3_or_bust]

would Yujiro Hanma work?

 

[Amexim]

Yujiro is a no. He looks too young, but he would lit. I was thinking Heihachi as well.

 

[Hl3_or_bust]

The Kaioh of Kaiohs would probably work

 

[Paulo.junior.969]

Would Ancient One count?

 

[Andytrenom]

Hayato Furinji, or is he too buff?

 

[The_Calaca]

Lao G provides the best ability for this dude: coming back to prime strength.

 

[Paulo.junior.969]

Also Libra Dohko. He doesn't look old in the pick because Athena gave him an ability to restore his youth when he needs to fight, but for most of the series, he looks like this.

 

[The_Calaca]

@Paulo does he count tho? He's not an old man technically.

 

[Paulo.junior.969]

He's technically both old and young at the same time.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

Obligatory Ninjago mention from me

Sensei Wu

The First Spinjitzu Master

 

[Andytrenom]

If you want someone less powerful but more iconic, here's an excellent pick.

 

[Paulo.junior.969]

Oh, there's also Achilles Davenport, the guy who trained Connor to be an assassin.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

<a>Batman

 

[The_Calaca]

He isn't. The Misophetamennos makes his grow older at a slower pace. He's at best one year older than his Lost Canvas version since 256 years is 256 days with that technique.

Chronologically he's old, but biologically he isn't.

 

[Paulo.junior.969]

And also Al Mualim.

Which doesn't change the fact that for most of the series, he looks like this.

 

[Paulo.junior.969]

What about Iroh?

 

[The_Calaca]

Let's see what the OP thinks since he rejected Jiraiya because he doesn't look old. This is the opposite case.

Iroh deserves it.

 

[Paulo.junior.969]

Zeno Zoldyck?

 

[Amexim]

Yes!!!! Zeno works, Iroh, Wu, Al Mualim, Libra, and Kaku Kaioh work.

 

[Amexim]

And Miagi? That's just what the composite old man looks like in any modern fight against a live action character. Of course he counts. The old martial artist from Kill Bill also works.

 

[Paulo.junior.969]

Maybe old Joseph Joestar? There's also Silvers Rayleigh, although he's more focused in swordfight and Haki, but the categories in his page say he has martial arts, so I'm not sure.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

You should probably list them in the OP. And if you've already started it, you should link the blog.

 

[Paulo.junior.969]

Monkey D. Garp and Tsuru.

 

[Amexim]

I didn't make a blog for it, I have it on a document, but I will update the OP. Garp can work but I already said Whitebeard was too buff.

 

[Amexim]

And it has to be Old Man, I think, otherwise i'd Have listed Genkai immediately.
