This is an attempt to compose and rank all the insane (crazy, idiotic, whacky, mentally challenged, mentally disturbed) fighters in Jin Yong universe.
Honestly, my knowledge of JY novels are limited to LOCH, ROCH, HSDS, DGSD, XAJH, Book&Sword, DOMD. So for those who can add more to the list, especially from the less famous novels, please do so !
Here's what Unofficial Ranking of Insane Fighters looks like :
1) West Venom - AYF
A true prodigy with poison skills and utilizing his frog stance. A major villain in LOCH. Surprised the other three original Greats with his shocking application of Reversed 9-Yin, resulting in his insanity.
2) MuRong Fu
One of the great fighters in DGSD, from the South Murong family who's fame only rivaled by the incomparable North Xiao Feng. With his Star Shifting technique and knowledge of bits and pieces of almost every martial arts in existence in DGSD, he's up there. He went crazy after trying so many unsuccesful ways to become an Emperor.
3) Xie Xun
Prior to ZWJ's birth, he always went beserk and lost his mind, whenever he thought about his murdered son and family. (I guess we can put him on this list as well). With Seven Star Fists, Lion Roars, and Dragon Sabre. He's lethal.
4) 6 Fairies of the Peach Valley
6 funny, weird, childish, mentally underdeveloped brothers from the Peach Valley. These guys were the primary cause of LHC's inner energy problem. The 6 faires, when work together in tandem, can rip apart some of the upper-level fighters of XAJH.
5) The Idiot son in DOMD
Son of the couple who seized WXB and company. The idiot kid gave quite a trouble to Emperial palace guards in an attempt to assassinate the Emperor. Even WXB with his amazing eluding skills was having a hard time.
6) Sha Gu
The mentally challenged daughter of East Heretic's student. Knows some basic Peach Blossom techniques. After taught three magnificent moves by East Heretic, she was able to scare LMC away. Unfortunately, other than the three moves, her kungfu is pretty basic.
*********************
Ok.. Did I miss anyone ? Someone who knows Secret of Linked Cities, isn't there a crazy guy too there, forgot the name. How about from Flying Fox, OTG, Sword Stained. And i think there's another insane guy in Book & Sword.
Someone please help filling in and adding more to the list.
I was thinking if perhaps DFBB (who thought he is a woman), ZBT (who acts like little kid all the time) could perhaps be considered into this list as well.
