Why do most protags get everything handed to them on a silver platter?

Because the loser kids that watch shonenshit aren't interested in hard work, they're just looking for a power fantasy to escape everyday life.

Isn't that how pretty much every legend is too? The guy gets a magic sword, blessing or has the blood of a god in him or something, and then beats up a thing. It's not like the shounen genre is going to be a procedural drama featuring an ensemble cast of scientists trying figure out how to kill a wizard

Lmao

I agree with the other 2 but not Gon.

he is literally told to be a one in a million talent

that whole island was created for him though

Killua handed him a free heal

father is one of the greatest hunters

>one in a million talent
>can't do shit in almost every fight against relevant character
>forced to sacrifice his talent to kill not even the main villain of the arc
>lost his nen and no longer main character of the story
Togashi is dare i say: the most based mangaka of all time?

To be fair, out of those 3 Naruto is the biggest offender by far and look how popular his show got.
Even it's shitty sequel is printing money.

>Free
Speedreader.

Imagine buying a magazine and this page hits you in the face.
Honestly feel bad for the tree that had to die for this garbage to be printed on it.

Wich chapter is this from and why did it make me hard?

Imagine buying a magazine and this masterpiece of art and writing blesses your eyes

Naruto might have everything handed to him but he still busts his ass harder than anyone else in the series except for Lee.

Cope

Might be true before the child of destiny horseshit

>lost his nen and no longer main character of the story
Temporally, When he is needed again he will get his nen back.

>digital x digital

It's fun to dream

>thinking Togashi will finish the series

He has literal perfect genes and had the most nen potential in the world and is the son of the most talented nen user in the world, he's a fucking Gary Stu.

Post his W/L

He didn't lose his nen. He just can't see it anymore

Because flashy powerups look cool. Kids love 'em.

because these stories are about people becoming the absolute best and in order to be the best you need talent and luck

Read slower. Everyone has aura. Nen is the ability to manipulate that aura.

The damage on his body was caused by the massive increase in aura (Nen baptism uses the same logic, while aura is life energy, too much aura can damage anyone). Alluka could heal the physical damage because it wasn't part of the restriction. Gon gave up the potential to ever use Nen again. Alluka couldn't return him his Nen because that was part of the pact, so, even if he has aura because he's still a living being, he can't use Nen.

maybe he can regain it when he grows older but for now the current arc is literally tens of thousands of miles away from Gon with no ending to be seen anytime soon and the distance is growing with every chapter.
It's safe to say that Gon will be out of comission for a very long time.

Based. That's why I always reiterate that only realistic shonen MC is Gon, who gets fucked by being a "determiner" so hard that he literally never recovers his MC status; he needs the worst Monkey Paw in existence to even regain his life. Then the plot just shifts to different characters being the new MCs.

>Wich chapter is this from
Are you literally blind nigga?
>why did it make me hard?
gay and blind

At the beginning of the story the protags always work hard and win out of sheer determination.
Then the writing goes to shit and they start getting handed up power ups

Because shounen is for 10-15 y.o. boys to self insert into.

ART

Togashi will die before the next time Gon is relevant to the story
screencap this

Deku actually had to work for the power that he has and he pays for it most of the time when he uses it.

"Gon is a typical power fantasy protagonist."
>Is literally dwarfed in power by every single opponent he meets and loses most of his fights.
>Sacrifices all his life force, talent and Nen to defeat a "villain" of lower importance and loses protagonist status.
Ofc he's healed but now he's just a regular kid going to school while the real alpha Kurapika takes over the show and leads it towards the bigger and more important arcs.

The only thing that BASED CHADREN gets handed on a silver platter is that he has 13 years to live past the age of 10

"Deku actually had to work for the power that he has "

Yhwach sure handed him his ass

>can literally spam clones to do decades of training in a week
>he busted his ass
If he put even a bit of effort into training, he could have had millennia of experience under his belt. Instead, all he did was learn how to do the rasenshuriken.

>snk
>shonen
user, I think your post in unrelated to the thread.

>Oh no. My influential father hired personal trainer, a tutor just for me, and we are inside a game that was actualy designed just for the sake of my training. The Horror! I will also win said game despite being a total noob that is competing against veterans but the narration wants to show how cool, remarkable, important special snowflake I am. I wish I was born a criple in a shithole like Meteor City instead!

Yeah, those are totally reasonable gains for fucking around on a beach for 10 months.
I like how SnK deconstructs the MC powerup trope by having Eren realize that he's not special in any way, and that him getting the AT was pure chance.

O

no

MY

Damn, is this canon? Didn't think there'd be something gayer than naruto and sasugay in shounen.

nah not canon just animators having fun

Tbh more mangaka should integrate this "you'll never be special" message in their stories to prepare the youth for their soulless white collar jobs they'll be inevatibly slaving away at until they an hero or retire as a bitter old man.

I'm pretty sure gon and killua's seiyuu's made these

None of those things mean anything in a vacuum. Ichigo had to earn every power up he had, can't exactly say the same for Naruto...

ShitRen
SlaveRen
GoofRen

Ichigo lost like half the fights he had in the manga

He’s also only a kid yet still manages to put up a decent fight against adults that have decades more experience than him. Gon-san is him as a full potential adult and he’s the strongest human in the series. Gon isn’t even close to being an underdog, it’s like you are calling a toddler a complete loser for getting fourth place at the olympics.

Luffy is one of the few shounen protagonists that had to genuinely work hard to wear he got. His DF was practically useless and because each DF is unique there was no one to teach him how to use it. Even the more specialized stuff like conqueror's haki isn't all that special in the new world. The only time got free gibs is due to him being dragon's son ( which back fires in marine ford) and knowing Shanks ( which is why Rayleigh personally taught him, i think), and even then thats only because he got is ass completely handed to him. Now that I think about it I find Luffy's progression really weird, normally shounen protags hype up all the earlier fights, but Luffy more or less curbstomped all his enemies until alabasta, where he had to struggle, and then by Sabaody he got his ass handed to him and realized it wasn't a game after the shit that happened in Marine ford.

Nope, togashi would've been based had he not pulled the nanika bullshit and heal Gon completely. Gon should've stayed comatose, with Ging finally meeting him and the main character should've switched to Leorio.

This. Gon is states multiple times by almost everyone to be a monster.

Looks like shit tho

>inherits superhuman strength from his dad and Garp

Lmao

It was free, what the fuck are you implying? Nanika doesn't charge Killua.

That's your own fanfic, brah.

Deku is just a more kid-friendly version of Gon. Explains why they're both shit.

That's the kind of garbage writing I'd expect from people that think closure doesn't matter. Pointlessly bleak endings are cool because I get to flaunt to my fellow teenagers that my series is more hardcore that yours.

I am still perplexed on how Luffy got third gear out of nowhere.

>win out of sheer determination
Naruto always had a beast with infinite chakra to bail him out like against Haku.

Rude and jellypilled

>Netero
>a loss

Gon didn't take the ball from him

It was more about forcing him to use two hands no?

Nigga it's not that hard he just has to make hole in finger and blow.

I see you didn't watch the anime, huh? Or read the manga.

Gon worked like crazy
Deku is very terrible at One for All compared to All Meme
Naruto is a giga jobber without his power ups.

Not canon. Narutoe and Sasugay still reign supreme.
