Tuesday Otaku Debate: Who will be this year's Santa Claus?
by God Len, 12/23/2008
Tuesday Otaku Debate: Who will be this year's Santa Claus? photo



Last week we decided on the dinner menu for this year's Holiday feast, but there was a catch. Instead of real, human food, we shall eat Pokemon, the food of the gamer! There were many choices to choose from last time around, and I listed all your votes after the jump; but the winner, and ultimately the looser, of this debate was Pikachu. So we shall be eating some pan-seared Pikachu as the main dish, but that's not all. Joining us on the holiday table is a roasted Farfetch'd with stuffed leek and Ditto pudding. I'm seriously getting hungry here, Pokemon look so delicious.

After dinner we shall head up early for bed because we have a special visitor tonight, after the jump.

This week we are going to be voting for this year's Santa Claus, (or Hanukkah Claus). But like last week's debate, instead of giving you pre-picked choices, you can nominate anyone. Though there are going to be some rules you will have to follow. One he has to be a male, cause Santa can't be a female. Two, well there is no two, just make him epic and awesome. Should it be someone with a red jacket like Vash, or a jolly young fellow like Onizuka, or maybe someone like Zetsubou Sensei who hands out suicide kits? The choice is yours, but you will have to live with that choice.

well that's a shock......get it shock(pikachu,electric)


i voted for charmander!
 
PBz0r

Tssk tssk tssk. Seems like I'm still the smartest of the bunch.

Well the first Santa Claus that came to mind is in my avatar. But I think Gendou doesn't handle the spirit of christmas very well, if you catch my drift. So let's go with DMC's Krauser-sama instead.
 
Xelotath

Shana Claus

 
Xelotath

Oops, too big. Right click and chose View Image to view it full size.

zaraki kenpachi
 
Zeouterlimits

Itoski-sensei!

xlotrx

DMC's Krauser ftw!!!
 
Kageryu

Wow. GG Xelotath, GG.

Shana Claus gets my vote too.
 
The dark prince

Gai Daigoji from Martian Successor Nadesico.
 
EvilRob

Krauser sama!!!
 
Antwhan

i'd say let's make this a very frightening xmas with a visit from Alucard claus. A very twisted take on the nightmare b4 xmas that would be.
 
TessR

The Santa from Pokemon. Specifically, the episode "Holiday Hi-Jynx," in which Santa was helped by a bunch of Jynx and Ash and the gang got to meet Santa.
:'D
 
Chris Walden

It has to be Light from Death Note.

What better way to TOTALLY SCARE THE SHIT out of any kid getting on his 'naughty' list
 
mana

Since when have the Japanese thought Santa is male...watch some Chocotto Sister or Itsudatte My Santa! and set yourself straight Mr. God Len.

since I have to abide by gender specific rulings I still think Santa from Itsudatte My Santa should be Santa this year. Why? Because he's f'ing Santa and he's a guy. That totally qualifies him for being Santa.
 
Xelotath

Oops I didn't see the male only rule, but I'll still keep my vote. I don't want a creepy old guy sneaking in my room, but I wouldn't mind if it was Shana!
 
electric_goldfish

Gotta agree with the pick of DMC's Krauser. best Santa ever.
 
Shin_Ra

hmm a red coat, mythical figure, jolly(in a sadistic way), very cool, i have to say Alacard an hes present would be vampirism (yeah immortality;better than any toy)
 
Neobergeron

I'm gonna have to agree with Krauser, too. Whip those kids into shape.
 
God Len

fine whatever! vote for who you want. But if a female santa wins you won't be getting any video games for Christmas, cause girls hate video games!
 
Parasepsis-Ezza

God Len is already Santa.
I will accept no other.
 
kamanashi

I vote Sousuke Sagara. What better way to get kids to be good than to have a military crazed mercenary who points a gun at whoever he find threatening. They will crap their pants in fear. Hell, Kaname is enough to make me be good at times. A pretty girl who deep down is really a insane killer psycho.
 
hiiragitsukasachan

Konata Izumi. She likes video games, and I'm 90% sure she's a girl.
 
Gee-Man

Ha ha ha, I'm visually imagining Onizuka busting a wall down with a sledgehammer, cigarette in mouth, bag of toys in the other, and a sneer on his face. "I'm Santa Claus, age 22. Got a problem kid!?" :D

So yeah, why not? Eikichi Onizuka, age 22, gets my vote.
 
President Stalin

Madarame

He's thin enough to make it down chimneys, and all my Christmas presents would be anime-related.
 
The_Kenji

hmmm...who do I want as santa? Well I have to admit it'd be cool to have a sexy chick as santa but since the rules sort of forbid it I'm gonna go with this compromise:
I'm gonna say Onizuka for santa, 'cause he'd make an awesome santa. And as his awesomely hot and very eligible assistant I'm gonna say Haruhi because she'd make a skimpy santa suit look good.

 
DrRockso

Harima Kenji of School Rumble gets a vote from me. I cant explain why, exactly, but it just seems to fit.
 
Kageryu

@Kenji - I change my vote.

Haruhi.

With assistant being...Haruhi, but the season 2 version with the long hair.
 
Order Sol

An epic santa = Kamina

 
EvilThoughts

Hmm, I wouldn't mind if the Santa coming down my chimney was Kamina.
 
strikerbolt

I also vote Light, though if possible, i'd Vote for Kamina as well.
 
Jimmy Recard

alucard

he has a red jacket, a hat and a very big smile
 
GFC

Mm.. probably Itoshiki Nozomu from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. I really like the idea of suicide kits for kids, i want one !
 
meluckycharMS113

This year, santa should be the Grim Reaper from Soul Eater. He's head of Shibusen, so he likes kids, but wicked powerful and funny too. Definately quality santa material!
 
Cheesus

Yagami Light, since I just got a Santa Light Nendoroid and it's awesome!
 
redroses3164

My parents never made me believe in Santa when I was a kid. I guess they wanted credit for the presents they bought...

I'd take an epic Santa any day. I vote for Kamina. Though my next vote would have been Alucard.
 
Blue Mage

Alucard gets my vote.
 
mega324386

Kamina, because the best stocking stuffer this year is a heaping dosage of GAR.
 
Alice

I vote Haruhi, because, as god, she should know what we want/where we are. And I bet she'd be adorable in a Santa suit :3

 
Niko

Santa Char. He already has the red clothes, and his 3x speed should allow him to deliver all presents to the children to no time. If not, he'll deliver them all at once by sending them down to Earth on Axis.
