A match between two Dragons, each very famous in the world of Anime, who would win this bout? Shenlong or Haku?
Here is some descriptions of both Dragons, thanks to WikiPedia (http://en.wikipedia.org):
Dragon: Haku
Anime: Movie
Description:
Haku is a white dragon who befriends the main character, Sen/Chihiro, and eventually aids in her escape from Yubaba's bath house. He is able to turn into a human at will, as well as cast spells of unbinding, invisibility, and binding. Haku is the spirit of the Kohaku river, which a young Chihiro fell into as a child. Since then, the river has been paved over. Since in Japanese mythology the health of a spirit is connected to the natural feature such as a mountain or stream they inhabit, it can be assumed that the destruction of his river is what drove Haku into Yubaba's servitude, hoping to gain greater power.
Dragon: Shenlong
Manga: Series
Description:
Shenlong can be summoned by gathering all seven of the Dragon Balls of Earth. It can bestow any wish as long as it does not exceed the power of its creator, who must be still alive (i.e. Kami/Piccolo). Shenlong cannot repeat a wish, or bring back anyone who has been dead for over a year. He cannot make someone fall in love or die. The Dragon Balls cannot be used for one Earth year after a wish is made, as they turn to stone. The Earth Dragonballs are relatively small, each about the size of a large orange. In Chinese mythology, Shenlong is a spiritual dragon that controls wind and rain. . .
