I don't think City Hunter is a "hillbilly" and Jungle is some paladin.
I didn't say Jungle was. I pointed out before his brawl with Dutch was more ego than anything. But he seemed much more interested in worthy prey than City Hunter. He was more selective.
QuotePoncho was wounded, and unarmed, but City is a devil for killing old ladies packing heat, and Danny who has a holstered weapon? Either the rules apply to both or they can both bend them in certain circumstances.
My entire point is they can bend them (you're the one who claimed it was ever about honour). It's a loose guideline, not hard and fast laws.
My point is
also that Jungle Hunter still seems to stick closer to the notion of collecting trophies from valuable prey: Poncho, Hawkins and Blaine had shown their value in the fight against the guerillas. Whereas City Hunter is happy to slaughter half a dozen people for every one worth claiming, and is more than happy to kill anyone with an actual gun (unless pregnant, apparently) whether they've shown themselves to be any real threat or not.
QuoteCity gets confined in Penthouses, Allyways, and even Train cars; which means he has to treat the tiniest threat as a serious one.
By choice. He's more than able to move around the city undetected -- he does it frequently. He's more than capable of attacking isolated targets -- again, does it frequently. He's also more than able to
not engage in a fight, but seems much more interested in killing as many people as he can.
"I was surrounded! I had no choice but to kill them all!"
"Wow, they ambushed you?"
"No, I literally broke in and jumped in the middle of them."
"Oh. But you got some great trophies, right?"
"Some great what?"
"Trophies. You jumped in the middle of them all because there was a skull worth claiming, right."
"... I don't follow."
Even Kevin Peter Hall called the City Hunter a "bad blood" for his more in-your-face style.
I maintain that, of the two, Jungle Hunter is the more serious trophy hunter, while City Hunter is much more about the thrill of the kill -- whatever that kill may be.
