Though they're the same person, what I'm talking about is the personality, history and etc. about them, basically their differences.

Personally, I find Battousai hotter but Kenshin's personality is better.

Yeah i agree with yah! although the battusai is a murderer, he's much more stronger!

yeah, but we can't be totally sure about that.

Despite popular belief, Kenshin isn't weaker than Battousai. The only difference between them is the conviction (or lack there of) to kill. Battousai is basically Kenshin as he was during the Revolution not holding back, but that becomes moot after Kenshin goes back for training with Hiko. Kenshin is also older, wiser and more mature than his younger self.

I'd still choose Battousai. I like mysterious killing machine characters for some reason XD

Kenshin is better! I think. His face is cuter. But I do see where you're coming from about the mysterious killing machine

Yup. I love my killing machines ^^

XD I do sometimes.

I'd go with Kenshin on personality and Battousai on skill.

I'd go with Kenshin on personality and Battousai on skill.

I am goint to have to agree with Ren on this one.

When Kenshin is Battousai he still hasn't completed his training with Hiko. He still is very skillful though. Then he calms down a bit, and grows soft, and weaker (This is made evident from the speech Jin'e makes before they battle in Reflections). Then he eventually gets additional training from Hiko in order to take down shishio and I believe he is meant to be more powerful than ever then. Although because of his soft, cheerful demeanor its harder to tell.

true true!

Kenshin is different now then when he was Battousai, but he is still Battousai. What changed was his ideals (not use his sword to kill but to protect). But Battousai is still there, deep inside, appearing once in a while. So, I don't think I can chose one of them, because one could not exist without the other (same person after all). What I can choose, I guess, is if I like him better when he was a murderer or now. Well, I like him no matter what so, still not chosing.

Yup!! Good sumarization. (spelling is wrong i know)
