Let's have some Pick your favorite shonen series (Doesnt have to be Shonen Jump) and mark what qualities it has on here, and let other people guess what it is!
Shonen Bingo
Wyatt Rogers
Ryan Moore
*Let's have some fun.
My apologies, 4chanX decided to send early. Here's mine, see if you can guess what it is;
Jeremiah Morales
I think that's it to be honest.
Juan Nguyen
Nobody dies.
Nathaniel Collins
Kayden Peterson
HxH?
Jaxson Thompson
Hunter X Hunter
Xavier Miller
What gave it away?
Leo King
Hiatuses, Protag wears green and closet gay antagonist.
Chase Lee
I'll bite. Here's one for The Slayers. Justifications:
High School: Nope
Loves to eat: Both Lina and Gourry
Sleep / Lazy: I balked at this one. Lina has her moments, but I wouldn't describe her as lazy. Gourry is the sleeper.
Simple Minded: Gourry yes, Lina no.
Loves to fight: Not really. I don't consider magic a martial art either.
Delinquent: I think Lina qualifies.
Villain -> Ally: Happens a couple of times.
Dies: Nope.
Green: Nope.
Power scaling: Not really?
Hiatus: I put "no", but it depends on what you mean I guess.
Toei: E&G films originally then JC Staff
FS: Taken!
Final arc sucks: More like seasons. Try, R-evolution, and Evolution-R all blow.
Existential Crisis: Not really. Unless you count LIna's issues with her sister.
Villain redemption: Rezo.
Goes too long: See "final arc sucks".
Jump Force: Nope.
No anime?: Nope.
Fighting game?: Nope, bunch of RPGs and a couple of strategy games tho.
Unique Fighting System: Not really. Magic is hardly unique.
Tabletop game / TCG: Based on D&D campaigns.
Over?: God I hope so.
> 20 Years: Yep.
Benjamin Edwards
>implying Luffy isn't going to die at the end
Leo Smith
Long-running Gay Green Hiatuses
William Wright
Wrong, it is not One Piece, but the protagonist is basically a pirate expy of the one Im talking about.
Christopher Sanchez
What happens if it gets bingo?
Jace Rivera
It sucks.
Gavin Young
Looks like this one sucks the most then:
Jonathan Cooper
Kevin Wilson
DBZ?
Camden Wilson
Dragonball
Dominic Collins
No.
Nolan Gomez
You're goddamn right.
Jose Clark
You said it is represented in Jump Force and ran for more than 20 years but didn't have hiatuses. By default it would have to be One Piece unless you are cheating and saying the franchise began more than 20 years ago and has had spin-offs.
Levi Watson
I'm having hard times figuring out which antagonist had a redemption through death. Piccolo and Vegeta both became good through the course of the story. I haven't read Super though.
Adrian Ortiz
Vegeta dies in the Buu Saga, where he sacrifices himself to stop Majin Buu and save his family. This is kind of where his arc climaxes. Piccolo protects Gohan when he jumps in front of Nappa's blast.
Dragonball as a franchise started in 1984, the manga didnt end until 1995, and even then it had the anime, GT, movies, spinoffs, etc.
The last Z related material was as recently as Resurrection F, it's been quite consistent.
Matthew Mitchell
But Vegeta's been a good guy for a long time at that point, albeit a bit of a dick.
Cameron Morales
Doesn't really work with non-battle shonens.
Kayden Brown
Yeah, and remember that at the beginning of the arc he willingly fell under Bobbidi's control and killed all those people at the Budokai Tenkaichi?
Joshua Ward
It has a sequel though.
Mason Parker
*1 - I'm willing to bet that'll happen at some point.
I'm also kinda stretching the concept of an arc villain for the "becomes an ally" square.
Hudson Lewis
While it is fun to try to guess, these ones that have barely anything are nearly impossible, so tell us the names so we can tell you whether you're wrong on stuff or not.
Jackson Martin
My Hero Academia
Colton Ward
Yup.
Liam Barnes
Put an X for "simple minded / pure" for Deku.
"Loves to fight" is questionable for Deku as well, because his hero instincts are through the roof.
I would also question "power scaling issues" and existential crisis. Lastly if you're going to predict a former antagonist death being likely in the future you might as well check off "too long" because that's fucking inevitable for BHA.
Justin Morales
>I would question power scaling issues
>protagonist literally has a "punch really fucking hard" power that can output more force than anyone else in the cast
Aight
Josiah Parker
>only 3
Absolutely based
Ryan Reed
Deku's too far from simple-minded. His whole shtick is that he's very analytical. His hero instinct is about saving people, he doesn't like to fight. I can't think of a moment that could be counted as his existential crisis. I don't think there are power-scaling issues, the world itself is set so that quirks can range from barely anything to world-breaking; the true issue with powerlevels come when something that has been established as an impossibly high level suddenly gets denoted into lower tier because the author needs to up the stakes, see DBZ. Finally, the whole "too long" square I find too subjective in general, I mean there's one for direct length over the years, so "too long" must mean some sort of personal assessment of whether it goes on for too long for its amount of content, which I wouldn't say even about One Piece, because all of its arcs feel as a natural progression of a story.
Justin Davis
Whoops, this pic is for another shonen and wasn't meant to be related to the argument.
Jace Hernandez
Muhyo & Roji?
Eli Robinson
Nope
Grayson Walker
Almost.
Ryder Bailey
Ah shit. Remove "protag is in highschool", I forgot he was in middle school.
Nolan Bell
>Protag wears green
I don't understand this meme?
Colton Cooper
Yusuke, Gon, Deku... There's a few who wear green.
Brayden Bennett
Wears green is much less generic desu
>Protag is associated with color BLACK or ORANGE
That fits with half of long running shounen.
Jaxon Fisher
Levi Martin
What's so confusing about having an accompanying tabletop/tcg, just type in "[series name] tcg" or some shit
Angel Gonzalez
Death Note?
Charles Ross
I don't think anyone will guess this, though it's a pretty popular series. Clue: monthly manga that ended in 2015
Ayden Baker
>Deku's too far from simple-minded. His whole shtick is that he's very analytical.
He's supposed to be, but from everything I've read he's simple minded, especially as the series goes on.
Christian Morgan
Fewer than I thought I'd get.
Clue: has had an anime season within the last year.
Jaxon Reed
Even that single one is rather weak.
Henry Young
Dominic Gray
Give more clues
Green stripes is really throwing me off. Can't think of a single character who fits that.
Easton Wilson
wow mahou shoujo site is the best
Chase Hughes
Owen Flores
If you consider the other dude the MC then you can add loves to eat and good at fighting on there.
Jason Wilson
It has an anime within the last 12 months
Easton Robinson
Elijah Collins
>high school
>simple/pure MC
>arc villain becomes ally
>anime by Toei
>series is over
Adrian Cruz
Shokugeki no Souma?
Jordan Cruz
And it's based on a manga?
How literally should I take "fighting" system?
David Miller
Surely that would count for a number of the squares including high school, final arc is the worst, power scaling issues etc
Jack Howard
Meant for
Lucas Carter
I would tick arc villain becomes ally though if it's Souma
Wyatt Garcia
Gash Bell fits that description perfectly.
Luke Green
Yes, it's a manga. The good guys basically use swordsmanship with visual fairs.
Jordan Green
Haven't read/watched far past the beginning and thought he might be trying to be sneaky since it's technically a cooking school rather than a high school.
Camden Taylor
>>Haven't read/watched far past the beginnin
You should drop by the manga threads, it's such hot garbage it's funny.
William Butler
I don't know if he really counts as delinquent
Luis Morgan
Nope.
Connor Perry
No fucking idea then.
Colton Rivera
>trashed by Asahi who wasn't even using Cross Knives
>is going to somehow win the rematch with the power of "hard work" and friendship
Can't wait to see how Soma asspulls his way out of this mess.
Matthew Baker
One thing I missed: the protag does wear a checkered outfit with green on it.
Jordan Rogers
John Jackson
Clue: colours of bingo card remind me of the anime colour scheme a little.
Oh that's too easy now, Kimetsu
