Default The Bugs (Starship Troopers) vs. Fist of the North Star

A mischievous god decides to make Kenshiro's world a little bit more miserable by teleporting 10,000,000 warrior bugs and 1,000,000 tankers into the world. What happens?

Movie version bugs. Have read the Heinlein novel but it's been 10 years or so.

Ironically, this actually improves the situation.

Well, they can be cut up by machine gun fire as well as burned and blown up with grenades. Their main strength is in numbers, which, as Mailedbypostman points out, finally alleviates the food shortage in 20XX.

Technically, it takes an entire clip to take down one bug. The bullets of which apparently are able to punch through 2 inches of titanium.

Not that it helped much.

The book Bugs would have nuked you from space and that's that.

They were a techy civilization with energy weapons.

Hrm...won't their insectoid anatomies nullify a good part of Kenshiro's arsenal?

The man shatters rock, bends steel and carries small hills around. I don't think he would need to be particularly refined when dealing with them.

The way I see it... Ken punches bug moderately hard... bug goes *splat* as if it just connected with a high velocity windshield.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

It's either that he can attack while intangible or can punch from a distance.

Or both. I can't remember.

Intangibility that lets him be untouched but still kill the shit out of things. And Kenshiro can keep it up for quite some time.

He can slice from a distance with Nanto Seiken. Slice stone apart IIRC.
