I'd say these were all part of the "support cast" so they shouldn't really be included in this list. On topic, taking into consideration all the factors that were against him from the very beginning, the most powerful warrior has to be Karna followed by Bhishma, Arjuna, Drona and Bheema.
Bhishma and Drona were most powerful.Karna after.them.The case about Bhishna have already made by me.Regarding Drona he was so powerful a warrior that even death couldnt kill him as long as he had a weapon in his hand and was only killed.after he laid.down his weapon.
Karna.. no doubt about it. Bhima is the Incredible Hulk.

Ok may be he was not the most powerful, but I like Karna. He was the honest and humble one. All others were manipulative.

Bhishma did get training?you outta your mind?he got trained in martial arts by God Parashuram himself.He was taught dharma rajdharma rajniti shastras by devguru Brihaspati.He was a son of godess Ganga and was a celestial being himself born as a human.He couldnot die if he didnt wish to. If anyone had training advantage skill it was him.Though he had sworn not to fight a woman and never go againist the King of Hastinpur and hence his troubles. Sent from my GT-I9103 using Tapatalk 2
Abe, training by madman Parashuram qualifies as 'amateur' training and not professional training :D Even Karna got trained by Parashuram. Drona was an organised guy, thereby capable of giving 'professional' training. He was so accomplished a warrior that when God Parashuram later challenged and fought him he fought for 21 days and managed to defeat God Parashuram. Ah, that was my main point. If anyone had training advantage skill it was him. :finger: As stated before, Karna had the same advantage too. In fact, he was taught by both Drona (before being kicked out) and Parashuram. To sum up, Since Bhishma kicked Parashuram's butt royally, he's easily the best; in mythology, no one else has ever beaten a Vishnu avatar otherwise.

Bhishma and Drona might have been very powerful but Karna faced extraordinary challenges and as Tdigi mentioned, he was quite honest and humble while others played Politics.

But they want big stars, and I doubt it will ever get made. Regarding Karna, he has had two serious flaws: a) Insulting Draupadi before her 'Vastraharan' (as a payback for the 'Sutputra' insult) b) Attack Abhimanyu from behind inside the chakravyuha (very shameful act :headshake: )

Ghonchu bhai, Parashuram was the most powerful warrior in the times of Bhishma.He killed.every Kshatriya on earth 21 times.So he was the best teacher.His two students were Karna and Bhishma and they could beat any student of Drona hands down. And though Karna was also trained by Parashuram i guess he wasnynas powerful as Bhishma.Bhishma could annihilate the entire pandava army alone so could Drona and Karna.But all were tied down by their different virtues and promises.Karna bynhis magnamity and his promise to.Kunti.Drona and Bhishma by their love for Arjuna amd hence the secret of their death.

Stop behaving like loony Parashurama and repeating what I am saying only. :D You have already agreed that Bhishma was the most powerful. As far as Parashurama is concerned, a loony ganjeri sanki guy can never be the best 'professional' teacher (that's what I have been saying all through). As far as Parashurama's student vs Drona's student is concerned, we have never seen a fair fight between Arjuna and Karna to know who would have won. Karna's promise to Kunti was that apart from Arjuna, he would not kill any other Pandava. But he lost his Vaijayanti over Ghatothkach, and wasn't really equipped to kill Arjuna after that.

are you kidding me!!! Parashuram was considered to be the best warrior. Period. Drona never really trained him because even when Karna was under him, Drona never gave any attention to him because he was not of Royal Blood. Also, despite receiving training from Parshuram, Karna also revived the curse that he wouldn't be able to use his Brahmastra when he really need it and that the wheel of his Rath would be stuck at a very important time.

I am simply stating that the best warrior need not be the best 'professional' coach. Parashuram was the best warrior surely, but I'd still regard Drona as the best coach, since he was an absolute professional in the business, unlike moody and unpredictable Parashuram. Karna did get stuck a lot of times because of all the curses he got. But he had other advantages too; he was Surya's son, and was born with the kavach-kundala. Morever, he cheated on the battlefield (by attacking Abhimanyu from behind), but Arjuna never did any cheating during the war. All the cheating by the Pandavas was done by Krishna singlehandedly. :D
