Anime vs Anime October 27 New Fighters
Spotlight on the fourteen named additions that reshaped Anime vs Anime’s late-October meta talk.
On 27 October 2026, SellWater! expanded Anime vs Anime with a major fighter drop that pushed roster conversation well past the earlier 80+ era into today’s 140+ collection fantasy. This page spotlights the named arrivals—Unohana, Shinji, Ishida, Alucard, Cid, Kaneki, Yami, Escanor, Uzui, Rengoku, Josuke, David, Rimuru, and Guts—and explains how to lab, summon toward, and pair them. Parent navigation: Players Hub. Power context: Best Fighters. Systems context: October patch.
Why this drop mattered
- Instantly refreshed highlight culture on Roblox and YouTube
- Arrived alongside bot scaling, keybind persistence, and a wide nerf list
- Gave code-fueled God Pack openers clear chase targets
- Created new 2v2 pairings that older double-veteran teams struggled to mirror

Fighter-by-fighter spotlight
Unohana
Early meta talk treats Unohana as a top-threat October install. Lab her committed turns in Training and note how opponents disrespect her range. Strong candidate for Ranked purses if your confirms stay clean.
Shinji
Utility and awkward timing show up in community clips. Excellent pocket when opponents only prepared for raw rushdown. Spend extra Training time on her trickier sequences before Tournament locks.
Ishida
Often discussed with keep-away leanings. Great partner in 2v2 beside a rushdown friend. Punish opponents who jump on cooldown habits—see neutral notes in Combat and Ranked.
Alucard
Veteran-feeling footsies and resource talk place Alucard in many S-tier estimate lists. Learn resource dumps; do not empty the tank on the first hit confirm.
Cid
High skill-expression reputation. Rewards players who already have solid controls. If you mash, pick a simpler October rushdown first, then return to Cid.
Kaneki
Mobility and mix stress linear blockers. Practice safe approaches; reckless dash-ins still lose to seasoned anti-airs.
Yami
Midrange conversation starter. Solid A-tier estimate material and a friendly main for players graduating from nerfed heavies.
Escanor
Burst windows define the vibe—timid opponents fold, disciplined opponents bait the overcommit. Lab the punish you get after the burst, not only the burst itself.
Uzui
Speed pressure. Pair with careful defense drills so you do not become predictable. Excellent Auto Fight familiarity farmer once you already understand the kit, remembering bots harden every 5 wins.
Rengoku
Aggressive string popularity. Ideal for players who like dictating pace in 1v1. Watch stamina of attention—aggressive kits tilt hard when defense is ignored.
Josuke
Setup and confirm potential for patient hands. Not always the thumbnail star, but Tournament brackets smile on consistency.
David
Sleeper routes appear in some lobbies. If you pull David early, give a full Training fair shot before trading away attention to chase-only names.
Rimuru
Flexible “answers many questions” reputation anchors a lot of S-tier chatter. Prioritise Rimuru on wishlists, but still lab whichever God Pack actually dropped.
Guts
Pressure and punish identity. Wins neutral when routed cleanly; loses when you greed through plus frames you do not have. Classic serious-main energy for Ranked grinders.
Suggested learning order if you pull several
- Pick the fighter whose movement already feels good in 60 seconds of Training.
- Learn one confirm and one defensive escape.
- Play three manual sets.
- Only then invest deep lab time into a second October name.
- Park extras in Auto Fight rotation for mastery filler (Scripts Hub).
Pairing ideas (2v2)
- Kaneki or Rengoku + Ishida or Alucard (rush + control)
- Guts + Shinji (pressure + trick tempo)
- Rimuru + anyone you trust (flex anchor)
- Escanor + Uzui (burst + speed—high risk if both greed)
Avoid pairing two unfinished tech characters (for example raw Cid + raw Josuke) until at least one has stable confirms.
Relation to nerfed cast
The same patch that added these names lowered relative power on Eraser Hero, Sanji, Kaido, Ace, Rivai, Big Mom, Pickle, Boo, Ice Chief, and Geta. If you still love a nerfed main, keep them as a pocket while October tools become your Ranked face. Tier estimates: Tier List Hub.

- Codes → fuel both (Codes Hub, How to Redeem)
