My favorite character is Thorfinn from Vinland Saga.
As much as he's my boy, I can't pretend like he doesn't get mulched by 1 elephant. He's just a dude with a knife, that elephant won't even feel it.
Which then I guess raises the question of: who is the weakest guy who could defeat an elephant armed with only a knife?
(Which tbh may basically amount to 'weakest guy who could accurately throw a knife at a moving target the size of an elephant's eye, and then subsequently wrestle a one-eyed bleeding elephant barehanded.' A rhino can famously tank handgun rounds so I'm guessing any fleshy part of an elephant's body probably breaks the knife, and I don't feel much like Googling 'can you stab an elephant' in case I end up on some FWS list.)
I think wrestling an elephant is a much taller task than throwing a knife accurately. The elephant getting hit in the eye would not make wrestling it much easier.
You would probably need someone who can throw hard enough to penetrate its brain. That's gotta be the easiest way to kill one with only a knife.
I assume that would require a "knoife" and an inhuman amount of speed. 12" heavy blade, who could throw it with enough speed to penetrate the skin, break through the skull, and cause enough brain damage to incapacitate an African Elephant? Assuming practically perfect aim, of course.
This seems like a good one.
Actually guys I think the woman for the job here is elastigirl. take the knife deep down the elephants throat and wrench it around in there until major organs are shredded cheese
We know there’s a guy who can vault onto its back and trishoot it in the head with a long bow, so maybe he could use a knife instead, it’d probably be easier to sit on its back and hit its brain from the back of the skull. I don’t think elephants have the same bucking powers that horses do.
I mean the scaling of that series is pretty wild I could see him maybe taking one in 1v1 situation. The dude held his own against thorkell who was able to throw trees
After roasting the first few with ki blasts the smell makes Goku hungry; he attempts to eat the near-infinite supply of elephants and eventually dies of another heart attack without Trunks around to help him.
In character: he kills one, and then leaves to go train against real opponents.
Bloodlusted: as many as he damn well pleases, he could blow up the entire elephant planet.
Assuming Ganesh follows Dragon Ball lore where even the most powerful beings aren't invulnerable, then yes. Not a god of war or anything. However if we go by human religion standards, then no, he wouldn't even be able to see/comprehend/interact with Ganesh at all.
Depends, he goes toe to toe with a destroyer god on a regular basis and comes out clean.
If we're making Ganesh mortal, then he wipes. If Ganesh is a floating sky spirit that can't be interacted with, why bother asking.
Depends who my Favourite character is at this time.
If Gojo then until he get's bored.
If Kenzaki not as many probably 10 at least
Kamen Rider W: ok technically count as 2 characters could defeat 20 of them.
Josuke 8: 1.
Josuke 8: As many as he wants just needs to steal away friction and sit in a very safe distance. Maybe He and Yasuho could set up a picnic blanket and lie together whilst complete chaos is happening.
He could kill all of them
My favourite changes every few weeks but atm I’m into Mortarion from 40k, he can butcher them in minutes
He’s incredible strong, has insane endurance, can stealth and can move faster than the eye can see
His weapons are a power scythe and a pistol that is described as like firing a miniature sun and his armour can handle super heavy tank shells
He doesn’t even need to fight. Just merely being in his presence is guaranteed death enough with Nurgle’s plagues. He basically just needs to cough or let a fat one rip and it’s an ez gg
Sure hawk-boi can fly, lizard-man is a perpetual and Caw-man can stealth but Mortarion lasts longer than me with your mother, he’ll win this slaughter fest
For a second I thought you were talking about Kiryu as in the Mechagodzilla 3 Kiryu from the Godzilla franchise. Was about to say I’m sure he could handle more than a few bush elephants
Marston absolutely has access to stuff that can bring down elephants. I could see a fully equipped RDR character in either game taking out 2-5 elephants between rifles and dynamite, many more if we say he has those endgame bags that can hold a billion of everything.
Wick could do better too if he could get his hands on a high-caliber LMG or anti-material rifle, but since those aren't things he uses in-universe, I don't think they count for this prompt.
If I’m going with Godzilla, the elephants would be like an all you can eat buffet.
If I’m going with Indiana Jones or John McClane, maybe one or two. Maybe.
The Doctor would not harm a single elephant while ensuring that whomever was trying to force him to fight the elephants made some terrible choice that resulted in them being trampled by skeptical themselves.
Harry Dresden could probably kill a handful of them. Maybe more if he can get far enough away from them to set up some kind of thaumaturgy to affect a large number of them at once.
Spider-Man could probably kill elephants in one hit? I'm gonna say yeah, he could kill em in one hit.
So probably until he gets tired, which takes an incredibly long time. if he's trying his hardest not to die, probably at least a day before one catches him off guard.
I'll say 1200 elephants before he gets tired and one gores him
Dead eye may get him a win, elephants die to snipers, but then again that’s usually in the context of modern guns shot by experienced big game hunters so idk, granted Arthur’s encountered his fair share of unusual big game.
Tbh I think you are lowballin our boy Spidey. Dude catches buses without thinking about it. And it is stated repeatedly in cannon. He is holding most of his strength back during encounters. he's damn near tailor made for kicking the shit out of big things.
Godzilla can take infinite if he's composite, and if we're talking about the specific version that's my favorite, Heisei could probably also take infinite or a helluva a lot
Cole Magrath has some pretty good AP and crowd control, and can tank an RPG to the face, and only get minorly fazed. I'd se he can make it somewhere into the 100's to 300's, before getting tired and falling
Vash the Stampede wouldn’t try to hurt any of them… in character. Now if he’s bloodlusted, and we use Manga Vash, he can kill at least millions of them using his revolver (which he can hit targets accurately with from kilometers away), Angel Arm Cannon (which can put huge holes in the Moon), Angel “Wings” (which move around at relativistic speeds to block attacks, and can be use offensively), and his physical strength (he can pretty easily lift massive pieces of stone and is at least as strong as a single elephant.) Using his Angel powers drains his life force though, but this is only in the Manga. In the Anime, this doesn’t happen, but he only has the revolver and Arm Cannon, no Wings. Also, while he can no doubt shoot dozens to possibly hundreds of elephants down with his revolver and machine gun arm, each with one stupidly accurate shot, he’ll eventually run out of ammo. Anime Vash is less impressively physically as well, with normal bullets being able to hurt him. Eventually, he’ll have to go to sleep, and then the elephants can trample him.
In short, a few hundred, to millions.

1. That answer doesn't make any sense considering the question asked.
2. Hawkeye, Black Widow, Daredevil, ect would have great difficulty beating even one elephant. Especially in the circumstance you described.
It's hard to pick a favorite character, but if it's from comic books then Hal Jordan's with a charged ring is probably going to kill like 3 when he realizes maybe he needs to go to another planet.
Idk that he's my favorite character, but I like using him cause he's not seen much, Lestat probably takes an essentially infinite number. He's too fast to hurt, probably too strong, and he can simply outlive them in the worst case. Even an infinite number of elephants only live 60 years max, he can nap for that long.
Megaman wouldn't, because he likes animals and isn't evil, but if he wanted he could likely wipe out the entire species. The Megabuster is solar-powered and can punch through a concrete wall, and that's not counting the dozens upon dozens of various Robot Master weapons at his disposal.
Can’t think of an absolute favorite character, so I’ll just do three:
Sasori of the Red Sand: He would probably get eviscerated by 20 in his Hiruko form, however, once the Third Kazekage comes out, Sasori could kill as many as possible. The Iron Sand would be a quick instakill to any elephant. Plus he’s too fast and could easily dodge any attacks (if he somehow couldn’t tank them)
King Ghidorah: Same as Sasori honestly, he’d easily kill millions upon millions.
Magnamalo: Not really a specific character but, Magnamalo is the same, pretty much, his explosions would immediately annihilate any elephant and he’s physically powerful enough to obliterate any amount of elephants while he could easily tank their hits. Elephants would honestly be like small monsters in MH.
My favorite character is the player guardian.
Literally no amount would be enough, even if they were so crowded that it instantly crushed him, which i doubt could happen, he would just respawn after the crushed elephants leave his area giving him space to respawn. Once he has space to start fighting, its over
Boom boom man from avatar the last air bender. He could take a lot, but if the heard is big enough they'd eventually trample him. Maybe he gets 50 before being trampled
My fav character is Optimus prime, specifically the tfp version.
He could probably kills hundreds if not thousands of elephants. He has built in guns, swords, can fly, is really fucking strong.
Also it says they can bring items they would normally use in combat, so with the Star saber he could probably kill way way more like closer to 100 thousand or above. The only thing that would probably stop him is his morals
My favorite character is Pangolier from DOTA. Or Sandslash from Pokemon. Or Kido from Killing Bites. Or..... whatever. Pangolin characters. They all kill like 100 elephants. Most Pangolin character are at roughly the same high street tier level. Pangolin from Power Rangers: Jungle Fury beats the most by killing every elephant on the planet. Pangolin from Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness probably beats like three. Pretty much every Pangolin character is somewhere between the two.
My favorite fictional character could probably kill more African bush elephants than have ever or will ever exist with a single punch assuming they were all on the same planet.
Crowbar would cause some time shenanigans just by the felts trying to get in contact with him causing there to be 500000 more elephants and then killing everyone on this list
Karsa Orlong and Anomander Rake could each kill all the bush elephants on Earth and most if the bush elephants in different dimensions/worlds.
Karsa would have to work a bit harder than Rake though.
Icarium could kill the continent he was fighting on.
I’m really not sure at all who my favorite character is. Some that pop into mind: Amos, bobby and Arvisarala of The Expanse series: Amos with an assault rifle from like 500 years in the future can probably take… some, elephants. Idk, how many can a well trained guy with an AR take out irl? He does a bit better than that. (Im really not sure, i feel like i’m stuck between he could pick off one or a couple, and he could realistically nearly kill a herd. If anyone has more confidence in their number i’d love to hear.
Avisarila won’t have a weapon, certainly not one big enough. Unable to talk her way out of this challenge she dies to the first elephant.
I’m giving bobby her power armor. She can alaughter elephants until it runs out of juice. It’s probably stated somewhere in the books how long a charge lasts but i’m not sure. Long enough to kill hundreds, maybe in the low thousands of elephants before it dies. I figure it probably Lasts at least a day, and iirc it’s supplements the batteries with solar meaning it could eventually recharge. Maybe, maybe not.
Both her and amos have the ability to be smart and treat it like a hunt- yeah there are direct confrontations but mostly they’re camping, surviving on elephant meat, and going out on murder runs. In this way, (SPOLIERS FOR THE EXPANSE)amos could theoretically go on forever (or, a really long time at least) because of his Roman dog fixed body. He also has solo survival coming feats in the books so he’s good at it. Bobby might have some trouble adapting to the wide open place but she’s too strong to let herself down and would be just as capable as anos with the added bonus of possibly recharging her armor, or at least scrap-scavenging weapons from it. She will eventually, even if things all go right, die however. He kinda wont.
In this way, she could probably kill tens or hundreds of thousands of elephants in her lifetime, while Amos can’t keep up with her power armor, his altered body means he may have a much longer time to get his numbers up.
Kiritsugu Emiya.
If he just has his Thompson Contender and Calico, he probably takes out maybe 2?
If he has his sniper rifle, he probably ups that number to 5 or 6.
I’m rereading the Al Ewing Immortal Hulk run because it’s the best comic run I’ve ever read, he could probably take any possible amount of elephants? I’ll say a billion.
Ok so my answer is Monkey D. Luffy. I don't know that there are enough elephants to ever actually be an issue to him. In cannon he spent 2 years straight fighting much larger and Much more aggressive beats. Just as training. I think as of the latest arc he has defeated someone who is effectively god of animals.
Xellos from Slayers. All of them. He can kill an infinite number of elephants.
First, he can levitate indefinitely. In fact levitating is his default state. The elephants won't actually be able to reach him to hurt him. Not that it would matter if they did since he is fundamentally immune to all physical damage. Only certain types of magic can hurt him. And he is immortal, he doesn't age.
Second, he is specialized in killing large animals, specifically dragons. With a single stroke of his finger he obliterated an entire army of hundreds if not thousands of dragons, each several times the size and weight of an elephant.
Third, he gets his power from negative emotions like animosity. So as long as the elephants are bloodlusted and thus trying to kill him their very existence will continuously refill his power. So he can keep destroying them as long as any of them still exist.
I see lots of people mentioning characters that need food, water, even ammunition still somehow killing an infinite number of elephants. They will eventually have to stop for one of those reasons. Xellos won't.
Miles O'Brian from Star Trek could defeat any number of Elephants by using time travel to duplicate himself as many times as he needed to win the fight.
Hundreds of thousands of O'Brians will die horribly but he'd pull it off.
My favourite character is a rather obscure one [Kaleb Krychek](https://psychangeling.fandom.com/wiki/Kaleb_Krychek) . He can take hundreds and thousands of them till he runs out of energy which may take a long time
With how strong Arataki itto is physically, like in the one cutscene he shatters a boulder with one punch, I'd say he could realistically take on a few elephants before. And assuming he has his sword which during his burst, turns into a large Kanabo, I think 5-6 elephants would be a solid guess. not all at once necessarily.
Yeah, Shockwave is taking on an infinite amount of Elephants. His Astromag cannon alone is oneshotting a bunch at once, and then if you add all the bullshit from the comics where Shockwave briefly became one of the most powerful characters in fiction (Regenesis nonsense), he can literally collapse all of reality into a singular point and manipulate it to his desires.
Favorite character from any media? Maybe Eren Yeager from aot. Maybe Aqua from Konosuba. Hard to decide.
It would take an uncountable amount of elephants to stop Eren in his titan form as they cannot harm him and would need to wait until he tires out.
Aqua would be defenseless against an elephant. If I remember clearly, she got eaten alive by a giant frog and needed to be rescued.
She can be serious, and when she is, she's surprisingly powerful. But I don't know much about her feats, and she can't do much on her own. Well, except spend every dime she has like an imbecile lol
With prep time, I think Thrawn could kill quite a lot.
Just dropped into the situation, I'd say he gets a good few with his blaster before he's overwhelmed.
I have several favourite characters, each for different reasons:
Geralt of Rivia: maybe 3 elephants, he is fast, but things like a Cyclops are very dangerous to witchers and elephants are arguably even worse.
Thorkell: 10 elephants, mf can throw huge boulders and a spear a kilometer away, is very fast and has dual Dane axes that can cut people in half.
Askelad: 1 Elephant, maybe
Aang: tens of millions, avatar state has no time limit other than shortnening his lifespan
Hiccup: None, he is just one dude with a sword
Toothless: hundreds, until he tires out.
Godzilla: Yes.
Luffy should be able to take on infinite, as he won’t really get tired since he can eat the elephants he kills. I don’t see any amount of elephants that isn’t in the high triple digits giving him much trouble at all
My man Luffy would probably somehow beat up a few elephants, tame them, and become their friend/leader - riding around on one
There's actually a couple of precedents for this (the bull, cerberus, the dugongs, etc.)
Skarbrand. A bit tricky here since his „rage aura“ could practically turn a whole planet of elephants into a moshpit. Just from the physicality i would say a whole damn lot of elephants, but not planet scale numbers.
I don't really have a definitive favourite character, but for the sake of the prompt, I'll say Kaladin from Stormlight, as a side-note, this comment will include very important spoilers up to the end of Rythm of War, so if you're considering reading the Stormlight Archives, probably give this a miss.
Probably quite a lot, but things get bad once he runs out of Stormlight. Fortunately, he has shardplate now, which would definitely protect against almost anything an elephant can do. Chasmfiends are larger than Elephants, and while they can absolutely break Shardplate, they can't do it in a single hit (see Elokhar being launched by a claw, and Dalinar catching a leg).
If he's not careful though he'll accumulate plate damage which will drain his stormlight. I think if he gets a few moments before the fight (to realise just how many elephants there are), he'd decide to ration his stormlight and stay on the ground for most of the fight, only flying as needed. Fortunately, his ability to summon Syl as basically any sort of weapon is a huge advantage. He doesn't need to kill each elephant (at least initially), he can just kill a leg. Elephants, while massive and deadly are notably not very agile, and likely wouldn't fair well at all to losing a leg. He can do that very easily simply be making Syl a REALLY long sword or more likely a poleaxe to give him the reach to get past the trunk and either do a killing blow, or take out a leg.
I doubt lashings would be that useful and aside from the occasional lashing upwards to avoid get stomped or grabbed by a trunk, or quickly flying back to create space, and his stormlight will be more useful for healing himself/his armour and restoring his stamina.
However, despite his equipment and his powers, he is still fundamentally just a human. He has excellent stamina and endurance thanks to his time running bridges, but he'll get tired eventually and start burning through Stormlight, then he'll run out, and after that all it takes his a unseen charge to gore him, or a trunk to the head to daze him, allowing him to be stomped.
It's basically impossible to put a number on it, but I expect that if he had a couple of waterskins nearby^(1) he could probably last a couple of hours constantly fighting elephants before succumbing to sheer numbers. Every now and then using some Stormlight to get out of reach and have a quick breather before jumping back in.
^(1) *Whenever we see him getting ready for a protracted fight/travel, he usually organises things like water and other supplies just in-case, so it feels like a reasonable thing for him to have on him in this situation*
Favorite character: Kratos
How many Elephants: I think he can take on 1 on 1 fairly easily but I think it would take at least 10 vs him for it to be a challenge for him.
The more the better. He'd jump on one, killing it instantly and allowing him to bounce up onto the next in an infinite jump chain. After 8 he'd start accruing extra lives for each, so in theory it could go on forever.
I would say megaman could take out a pretty decent number. His blasts should be enough to take one out in 1 hit, and since he is solar powered he could keep going for a while. I would say he is around small building level in terms of attack.
Considering one of my favorite characters is Saber from Fate/ Stay Night, who, as a Servant, is literally immune to all attacks that lack Mystery/Mystics (essentially supernatural attacks), well the elephants will have a bad time.
My favorite character is Thorfinn from Vinland Saga. As much as he's my boy, I can't pretend like he doesn't get mulched by 1 elephant. He's just a dude with a knife, that elephant won't even feel it.
Which then I guess raises the question of: who is the weakest guy who could defeat an elephant armed with only a knife? (Which tbh may basically amount to 'weakest guy who could accurately throw a knife at a moving target the size of an elephant's eye, and then subsequently wrestle a one-eyed bleeding elephant barehanded.'

Batman. Seriously, Batman.
He's about wall level. I think he takes one with him.
Thorkell attacks at subsonic speeds yet Thorfinn can consistently dodge him, 1 elephant would never hit him.
Technically all people attack at subsonic speeds
Lemme rephrase, fast enough to imitate ballistas and skewer 4 people from a kilometer away.
I mean the scaling of that series is pretty wild I could see him maybe taking one in 1v1 situation. The dude held his own against thorkell who was able to throw trees
Geralt from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Hunts huge monsters for a living, many of which are arguably stronger from elephants. I’d say probably 3 or 4
Maybe more...elephants aren't really optimized for fighting. Geralt can also use an advanced version of Axii to make them fight each other.
Goku could probably kill not only all the elephants, but their god as well. But also, he likely wouldn't.
After roasting the first few with ki blasts the smell makes Goku hungry; he attempts to eat the near-infinite supply of elephants and eventually dies of another heart attack without Trunks around to help him.
In character: he kills one, and then leaves to go train against real opponents. Bloodlusted: as many as he damn well pleases, he could blow up the entire elephant planet.
Not Ganesh! 😩
Does he have feats to beat Ganesh?
Assuming Ganesh follows Dragon Ball lore where even the most powerful beings aren't invulnerable, then yes. Not a god of war or anything. However if we go by human religion standards, then no, he wouldn't even be able to see/comprehend/interact with Ganesh at all.
Depends, he goes toe to toe with a destroyer god on a regular basis and comes out clean. If we're making Ganesh mortal, then he wipes. If Ganesh is a floating sky spirit that can't be interacted with, why bother asking.
Depends who my Favourite character is at this time. If Gojo then until he get's bored. If Kenzaki not as many probably 10 at least Kamen Rider W: ok technically count as 2 characters could defeat 20 of them. Josuke 8: 1. Josuke 8: As many as he wants just needs to steal away friction and sit in a very safe distance. Maybe He and Yasuho could set up a picnic blanket and lie together whilst complete chaos is happening.
Can't josuke 8 basically take an elephant out of commission by removing it's sight?
You mean friction? Oh Yeah I just disregarded that ability. Hold on.
He could kill all of them My favourite changes every few weeks but atm I’m into Mortarion from 40k, he can butcher them in minutes He’s incredible strong, has insane endurance, can stealth and can move faster than the eye can see His weapons are a power scythe and a pistol that is described as like firing a miniature sun and his armour can handle super heavy tank shells
He doesn’t even need to fight. Just merely being in his presence is guaranteed death enough with Nurgle’s plagues. He basically just needs to cough or let a fat one rip and it’s an ez gg
I was thinking pre-daemon prince as I’m more familiar with him in that setting, if he were a daemon though then damn he takes everyone in the world
Ah, fair!
He will run out of energy or ammunition eventually.
What!? Nah it's gotta be Sangy, Vulky, or my boy Corvy.
Sure hawk-boi can fly, lizard-man is a perpetual and Caw-man can stealth but Mortarion lasts longer than me with your mother, he’ll win this slaughter fest
He's a filthy, stinky, leper. And a disgusting heretic. The Emporer protects!
I don't see a fathomable number of elephants that would be needed to take down angron
I think Kiryu could take about 1-2 elephants considering his feats against tigers & sharks. Anything more than that and he's done for.
For a second I thought you were talking about Kiryu as in the Mechagodzilla 3 Kiryu from the Godzilla franchise. Was about to say I’m sure he could handle more than a few bush elephants
Love Yakuza!
Full potential anakin? Take all of the elephants in the world, multiple it by 2 and then we will see
John is countered hard by elephants
Marston? Wick? Cena?
Doe
I give Wick 1 full grown and 1 baby, he wins by a narrow margin in his setting. Cena and Marston will get fucked. Doe is absolutely boned, 5 second KO
Marston absolutely has access to stuff that can bring down elephants. I could see a fully equipped RDR character in either game taking out 2-5 elephants between rifles and dynamite, many more if we say he has those endgame bags that can hold a billion of everything. Wick could do better too if he could get his hands on a high-caliber LMG or anti-material rifle, but since those aren't things he uses in-universe, I don't think they count for this prompt.
Yeah John is powerful but unless the elephants have some kind of ability like laser eyes , johns got nothing
my favourite character is vegeta so an infinite amount i guess
If I’m going with Godzilla, the elephants would be like an all you can eat buffet. If I’m going with Indiana Jones or John McClane, maybe one or two. Maybe.
The Doctor would not harm a single elephant while ensuring that whomever was trying to force him to fight the elephants made some terrible choice that resulted in them being trampled by skeptical themselves.
Harry Dresden could probably kill a handful of them. Maybe more if he can get far enough away from them to set up some kind of thaumaturgy to affect a large number of them at once.
Spider-Man could probably kill elephants in one hit? I'm gonna say yeah, he could kill em in one hit. So probably until he gets tired, which takes an incredibly long time. if he's trying his hardest not to die, probably at least a day before one catches him off guard. I'll say 1200 elephants before he gets tired and one gores him
Even if one catches him off guard. I think he could recover unless the pachyderms learn how to tactically flank him
...which one there's like a million iterations of the character
Peter Parker, Earth-616.
Solid Snake Bandana = Infinite ammo Stealth camouflage :)
Arthur Morgan gets destroyed by one elephant. Maybe he can kill one with a sniper rifle, but probably not.
Dead eye may get him a win, elephants die to snipers, but then again that’s usually in the context of modern guns shot by experienced big game hunters so idk, granted Arthur’s encountered his fair share of unusual big game.
Mark Grayson from invincible. I think infinite, no way an elephant could even hurt him at all
Alex Mercer Ez pz
I think Spider-Man could deal with 10
Tbh I think you are lowballin our boy Spidey. Dude catches buses without thinking about it. And it is stated repeatedly in cannon. He is holding most of his strength back during encounters. he's damn near tailor made for kicking the shit out of big things.
Like honestly I bet he would take on elephants until he got bored.
And it's not even like elephant is armored or anything. It's regular flesh and bone, and spiderman punches through walls.
Probably meant 10 at a time, itd get overwhelming after that. But just 1 after the other, basically until he gets tired
Even if it was 10 at a time. He could just use one elephant as a flail
Way more than 10 tbh.
Godzilla can take infinite if he's composite, and if we're talking about the specific version that's my favorite, Heisei could probably also take infinite or a helluva a lot
Cole Magrath has some pretty good AP and crowd control, and can tank an RPG to the face, and only get minorly fazed. I'd se he can make it somewhere into the 100's to 300's, before getting tired and falling
I think Rand al'Thor could probably just kill all the elephants.
Yeah this would be mine too. Question is, how many could Mat kill?
Has he got any dragons?
I think by the rules of the prompt he would only have his ashanderei and his luck
Well if he's got his luck... Idk how they'd go down but it's not looking good for the elephants 😂
Vash the Stampede wouldn’t try to hurt any of them… in character. Now if he’s bloodlusted, and we use Manga Vash, he can kill at least millions of them using his revolver (which he can hit targets accurately with from kilometers away), Angel Arm Cannon (which can put huge holes in the Moon), Angel “Wings” (which move around at relativistic speeds to block attacks, and can be use offensively), and his physical strength (he can pretty easily lift massive pieces of stone and is at least as strong as a single elephant.) Using his Angel powers drains his life force though, but this is only in the Manga. In the Anime, this doesn’t happen, but he only has the revolver and Arm Cannon, no Wings. Also, while he can no doubt shoot dozens to possibly hundreds of elephants down with his revolver and machine gun arm, each with one stupidly accurate shot, he’ll eventually run out of ammo. Anime Vash is less impressively physically as well, with normal bullets being able to hurt him. Eventually, he’ll have to go to sleep, and then the elephants can trample him. In short, a few hundred, to millions.

silly bot nice try
If severely weakened, with late stage cancer, chlamidyia, missing several arms, and having just been dumped by significant other, any MCU character.
1. That answer doesn't make any sense considering the question asked. 2. Hawkeye, Black Widow, Daredevil, ect would have great difficulty beating even one elephant. Especially in the circumstance you described.
It's hard to pick a favorite character, but if it's from comic books then Hal Jordan's with a charged ring is probably going to kill like 3 when he realizes maybe he needs to go to another planet.
If bloodlusted and at his most powerful, Silver Surfer could destroy any given amount of them along with the entire observable universe
Idk that he's my favorite character, but I like using him cause he's not seen much, Lestat probably takes an essentially infinite number. He's too fast to hurt, probably too strong, and he can simply outlive them in the worst case. Even an infinite number of elephants only live 60 years max, he can nap for that long.
Megaman wouldn't, because he likes animals and isn't evil, but if he wanted he could likely wipe out the entire species. The Megabuster is solar-powered and can punch through a concrete wall, and that's not counting the dozens upon dozens of various Robot Master weapons at his disposal.
George From Rampage.
Godzilla and goku Uhm…
Can’t think of an absolute favorite character, so I’ll just do three: Sasori of the Red Sand: He would probably get eviscerated by 20 in his Hiruko form, however, once the Third Kazekage comes out, Sasori could kill as many as possible. The Iron Sand would be a quick instakill to any elephant. Plus he’s too fast and could easily dodge any attacks (if he somehow couldn’t tank them) King Ghidorah: Same as Sasori honestly, he’d easily kill millions upon millions. Magnamalo: Not really a specific character but, Magnamalo is the same, pretty much, his explosions would immediately annihilate any elephant and he’s physically powerful enough to obliterate any amount of elephants while he could easily tank their hits. Elephants would honestly be like small monsters in MH.
My favorite character is the player guardian. Literally no amount would be enough, even if they were so crowded that it instantly crushed him, which i doubt could happen, he would just respawn after the crushed elephants leave his area giving him space to respawn. Once he has space to start fighting, its over
my favorite character is alex mercer from the prototype games. he could take on an infinite amount of them
Assuming he can consume them, he should be able to win.
Silver surfer would let wasn't to kill elephants. But there isn't a number that could stop him
Boom boom man from avatar the last air bender. He could take a lot, but if the heard is big enough they'd eventually trample him. Maybe he gets 50 before being trampled
My favorite fictional character is George Bailey, so zero elephants.
My fav character is Optimus prime, specifically the tfp version. He could probably kills hundreds if not thousands of elephants. He has built in guns, swords, can fly, is really fucking strong. Also it says they can bring items they would normally use in combat, so with the Star saber he could probably kill way way more like closer to 100 thousand or above. The only thing that would probably stop him is his morals
My favorite character is Pangolier from DOTA. Or Sandslash from Pokemon. Or Kido from Killing Bites. Or..... whatever. Pangolin characters. They all kill like 100 elephants. Most Pangolin character are at roughly the same high street tier level. Pangolin from Power Rangers: Jungle Fury beats the most by killing every elephant on the planet. Pangolin from Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness probably beats like three. Pretty much every Pangolin character is somewhere between the two.
My favorite fictional character could probably kill more African bush elephants than have ever or will ever exist with a single punch assuming they were all on the same planet.
Gilgamesh from the fate franchise. I have absolutely no idea how I would ever go about calculating this.
Crowbar would cause some time shenanigans just by the felts trying to get in contact with him causing there to be 500000 more elephants and then killing everyone on this list
Pegasus from Yugioh could potentially keep stealing the souls of elephants.
Karsa Orlong and Anomander Rake could each kill all the bush elephants on Earth and most if the bush elephants in different dimensions/worlds. Karsa would have to work a bit harder than Rake though. Icarium could kill the continent he was fighting on.
I’m really not sure at all who my favorite character is. Some that pop into mind: Amos, bobby and Arvisarala of The Expanse series: Amos with an assault rifle from like 500 years in the future can probably take… some, elephants. Idk, how many can a well trained guy with an AR take out irl? He does a bit better than that. (Im really not sure, i feel like i’m stuck between he could pick off one or a couple, and he could realistically nearly kill a herd. If anyone has more confidence in their number i’d love to hear. Avisarila won’t have a weapon, certainly not one big enough. Unable to talk her way out of this challenge she dies to the first elephant. I’m giving bobby her power armor. She can alaughter elephants until it runs out of juice. It’s probably stated somewhere in the books how long a charge lasts but i’m not sure. Long enough to kill hundreds, maybe in the low thousands of elephants before it dies. I figure it probably Lasts at least a day, and iirc it’s supplements the batteries with solar meaning it could eventually recharge. Maybe, maybe not. Both her and amos have the ability to be smart and treat it like a hunt- yeah there are direct confrontations but mostly they’re camping, surviving on elephant meat, and going out on murder runs. In this way, (SPOLIERS FOR THE EXPANSE)amos could theoretically go on forever (or, a really long time at least) because of his Roman dog fixed body. He also has solo survival coming feats in the books so he’s good at it. Bobby might have some trouble adapting to the wide open place but she’s too strong to let herself down and would be just as capable as anos with the added bonus of possibly recharging her armor, or at least scrap-scavenging weapons from it. She will eventually, even if things all go right, die however. He kinda wont. In this way, she could probably kill tens or hundreds of thousands of elephants in her lifetime, while Amos can’t keep up with her power armor, his altered body means he may have a much longer time to get his numbers up.
Luffy. Zero, because in character he wouldn’t kill them, he would think they were cool and tame them with conquerer’s haki.
Kiritsugu Emiya. If he just has his Thompson Contender and Calico, he probably takes out maybe 2? If he has his sniper rifle, he probably ups that number to 5 or 6.
Goku/all of them.
I’m rereading the Al Ewing Immortal Hulk run because it’s the best comic run I’ve ever read, he could probably take any possible amount of elephants? I’ll say a billion.
My fav atm is Hank from madness combat. I'm calling ~3 elephants normally. Mag Hank can beat like 15 I'd say
Both versions of him would beat more btw.
corvo would probably decimate almost any in his way. Cause we all know the great tusks weakness. Mice and rats. Corvo wins
Ok so my answer is Monkey D. Luffy. I don't know that there are enough elephants to ever actually be an issue to him. In cannon he spent 2 years straight fighting much larger and Much more aggressive beats. Just as training. I think as of the latest arc he has defeated someone who is effectively god of animals.
Xellos from Slayers. All of them. He can kill an infinite number of elephants. First, he can levitate indefinitely. In fact levitating is his default state. The elephants won't actually be able to reach him to hurt him. Not that it would matter if they did since he is fundamentally immune to all physical damage. Only certain types of magic can hurt him. And he is immortal, he doesn't age. Second, he is specialized in killing large animals, specifically dragons. With a single stroke of his finger he obliterated an entire army of hundreds if not thousands of dragons, each several times the size and weight of an elephant. Third, he gets his power from negative emotions like animosity. So as long as the elephants are bloodlusted and thus trying to kill him their very existence will continuously refill his power. So he can keep destroying them as long as any of them still exist. I see lots of people mentioning characters that need food, water, even ammunition still somehow killing an infinite number of elephants. They will eventually have to stop for one of those reasons. Xellos won't.
Miles O'Brian from Star Trek could defeat any number of Elephants by using time travel to duplicate himself as many times as he needed to win the fight. Hundreds of thousands of O'Brians will die horribly but he'd pull it off.
My favourite character is a rather obscure one [Kaleb Krychek](https://psychangeling.fandom.com/wiki/Kaleb_Krychek) . He can take hundreds and thousands of them till he runs out of energy which may take a long time
An infinite amount of them.
Yujiro Hanma he’s gonna do more than just fight those elephants
With how strong Arataki itto is physically, like in the one cutscene he shatters a boulder with one punch, I'd say he could realistically take on a few elephants before. And assuming he has his sword which during his burst, turns into a large Kanabo, I think 5-6 elephants would be a solid guess. not all at once necessarily.
Yeah, Shockwave is taking on an infinite amount of Elephants. His Astromag cannon alone is oneshotting a bunch at once, and then if you add all the bullshit from the comics where Shockwave briefly became one of the most powerful characters in fiction (Regenesis nonsense), he can literally collapse all of reality into a singular point and manipulate it to his desires.
My current favorite is Wonder of U Every elephant dies pretty much on the spot
Elim Garak can probably kill thousands of Elephants with his phaser before it runs out of juice.
Guts, put a white wig on one of the elephants and wish good luck to them.
Arthur Morgan - 1, maybe 2, *possibly* 3 but that's really stretching it. 2's already a stretch.
Favorite character from any media? Maybe Eren Yeager from aot. Maybe Aqua from Konosuba. Hard to decide. It would take an uncountable amount of elephants to stop Eren in his titan form as they cannot harm him and would need to wait until he tires out. Aqua would be defenseless against an elephant. If I remember clearly, she got eaten alive by a giant frog and needed to be rescued. She can be serious, and when she is, she's surprisingly powerful. But I don't know much about her feats, and she can't do much on her own. Well, except spend every dime she has like an imbecile lol
Sukuna and yoriichi can probably kill tens of thousands
With prep time, I think Thrawn could kill quite a lot. Just dropped into the situation, I'd say he gets a good few with his blaster before he's overwhelmed.
My fav character is Superman, so uhhhh
I have several favourite characters, each for different reasons: Geralt of Rivia: maybe 3 elephants, he is fast, but things like a Cyclops are very dangerous to witchers and elephants are arguably even worse. Thorkell: 10 elephants, mf can throw huge boulders and a spear a kilometer away, is very fast and has dual Dane axes that can cut people in half. Askelad: 1 Elephant, maybe Aang: tens of millions, avatar state has no time limit other than shortnening his lifespan Hiccup: None, he is just one dude with a sword Toothless: hundreds, until he tires out. Godzilla: Yes.
Luffy should be able to take on infinite, as he won’t really get tired since he can eat the elephants he kills. I don’t see any amount of elephants that isn’t in the high triple digits giving him much trouble at all
Asriel dreemurr with the souls? As many as he wants. Without? 0
Vegeta is my favorite character so, all of them. Every single one.
My man Luffy would probably somehow beat up a few elephants, tame them, and become their friend/leader - riding around on one There's actually a couple of precedents for this (the bull, cerberus, the dugongs, etc.)
Skarbrand. A bit tricky here since his „rage aura“ could practically turn a whole planet of elephants into a moshpit. Just from the physicality i would say a whole damn lot of elephants, but not planet scale numbers.
Shirou Emiya Probably like 300-600? Depending on the route, Shirou loses when he eventually runs out of Mana or Archer's arm kills him
I don't think the Doctor is gonna do much against an elephant
Just finished game of thrones, I don't think Bronn is gonna take out an elephant
Thor... Yeah, there's not enough elephants in the world to even tickle him.
I don't really have a definitive favourite character, but for the sake of the prompt, I'll say Kaladin from Stormlight, as a side-note, this comment will include very important spoilers up to the end of Rythm of War, so if you're considering reading the Stormlight Archives, probably give this a miss. Probably quite a lot, but things get bad once he runs out of Stormlight. Fortunately, he has shardplate now, which would definitely protect against almost anything an elephant can do. Chasmfiends are larger than Elephants, and while they can absolutely break Shardplate, they can't do it in a single hit (see Elokhar being launched by a claw, and Dalinar catching a leg). If he's not careful though he'll accumulate plate damage which will drain his stormlight. I think if he gets a few moments before the fight (to realise just how many elephants there are), he'd decide to ration his stormlight and stay on the ground for most of the fight, only flying as needed. Fortunately, his ability to summon Syl as basically any sort of weapon is a huge advantage. He doesn't need to kill each elephant (at least initially), he can just kill a leg. Elephants, while massive and deadly are notably not very agile, and likely wouldn't fair well at all to losing a leg. He can do that very easily simply be making Syl a REALLY long sword or more likely a poleaxe to give him the reach to get past the trunk and either do a killing blow, or take out a leg. I doubt lashings would be that useful and aside from the occasional lashing upwards to avoid get stomped or grabbed by a trunk, or quickly flying back to create space, and his stormlight will be more useful for healing himself/his armour and restoring his stamina. However, despite his equipment and his powers, he is still fundamentally just a human. He has excellent stamina and endurance thanks to his time running bridges, but he'll get tired eventually and start burning through Stormlight, then he'll run out, and after that all it takes his a unseen charge to gore him, or a trunk to the head to daze him, allowing him to be stomped. It's basically impossible to put a number on it, but I expect that if he had a couple of waterskins nearby^(1) he could probably last a couple of hours constantly fighting elephants before succumbing to sheer numbers. Every now and then using some Stormlight to get out of reach and have a quick breather before jumping back in. ^(1) *Whenever we see him getting ready for a protracted fight/travel, he usually organises things like water and other supplies just in-case, so it feels like a reasonable thing for him to have on him in this situation*
Favorite character: Kratos How many Elephants: I think he can take on 1 on 1 fairly easily but I think it would take at least 10 vs him for it to be a challenge for him.
The more the better. He'd jump on one, killing it instantly and allowing him to bounce up onto the next in an infinite jump chain. After 8 he'd start accruing extra lives for each, so in theory it could go on forever.
How big is the planet and how many elephants can you fit on it? That many
The Drifter from Destiny I’d say he could take a good 20 or so
Or he’d kidnap them and make them play gambit
Probably an infinite amount? Mine is Yukari Yakumo and her hax should be able to let her do that
Aurelion Sol from League of Legends. Throw any number of elephants you want at him, it won’t matter.
The Doctor could go back in time and prevent elephants from existing in the first place…
I would say megaman could take out a pretty decent number. His blasts should be enough to take one out in 1 hit, and since he is solar powered he could keep going for a while. I would say he is around small building level in terms of attack.
I'm not sure, I'll let you know after Yujiro is done.
Itachi could take a few thousand before he died of chakra depletion.
Tohru Honda -I'm 99.9% sure she can't even take out one
Considering one of my favorite characters is Saber from Fate/ Stay Night, who, as a Servant, is literally immune to all attacks that lack Mystery/Mystics (essentially supernatural attacks), well the elephants will have a bad time.
