Blade Runner's best Replicant-killer isn't Deckard.
Many Blade Runner fans might assume Deckard is the best of them all given his role in the first movie and the fact that he’s unarguably the most iconic Blade Runner in the history of the franchise. However, they’d be wrong, as the Blade Runner anime series actually names the best Replicant-killer–and it’s not Deckard.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Rick Deckard was introduced in 1982’s Blade Runner as the titular Replicant-killing officer of the law. It’s assumed that he’s the best Blade Runner in the unit given the importance of the mission he’s on in the movie. A small team of rogue Replicants are on the loose, and it’s believed they’re going after the most powerful man in the world, Tyrell.
Blade Runner: Black Lotus Introduces J, the Best Blade Runner in History In Blade Runner: Black Lotus episode 7 , it is revealed that the man who’s been helping the Replicant Elle this whole time, J , is actually an ex-Blade Runner. Elle is on the run from the LAPD after assassinating some prominent members of society for their crimes against her and her kind. Throughout every kill, J has helped Elle–both in terms of preparation and recovery.
While J’s Replicant kill-count is the highest in Blade Runner history , that isn’t the only reason why J’s the best. In the comic Blade Runner: Origins, it’s revealed that the Blade Runner Unit was founded by a man who secretly wanted to help Replicants. This man, named Cal, only pretended to be anti-Replicant in order to gain the trust of the people and the LAPD, all so he could head-up his own unit dedicated to ‘retiring’ Replicants.
J is the best Blade Runner for two reasons. Officially, he’s the best because he’s killed the most Replicants, full-stop. Secretly, however, he’s the best because he not only sided with the Replicants by helping Elle, but he ensured the safety of the strongest Replicant in Blade Runner history. Elle single-handedly destabilized practically all of humanity with the people she murdered, and J was integral in making sure she was successful, and that she was protected.
