Why the fuck is every shonen protagonist a special snowflake of some kind?
They're always either:
>descendants of a legendary clan/figure/race
>wielders of a super duper special power no one else is allowed to learn
or both.
Is there a single shonen protagonist that doesn't fit this formula?
Why the fuck is every shonen protagonist a special snowflake of some kind?
Why do you think you fucking faggot
Easier to give the mc a special broken ability then to write interesting fights, interactions, and struggles.
ash ketchup isnt cuz his based autism checkmate
Are there any instances of a hero losing their super duper power and having to learn to fight for themselves without it, and they never get it back?
>descendants of a legendary clan/figure/race
This is the generic one
>wielders of a super duper special power no one else is allowed to learn
Statement specifically made for Deku.
It's all in your head op
because it's the easiest and most generic way to explain why that character is the protagonist, shonen isn't supposed to be deep
Blame Toriyama.
Mob from mob psycho is not special
reinhard von lohengramm
>Statement specifically made for Deku
how so? even kenshiro applies for this one.
it's escapist power fantasy for young boys, user.
as much as your digits were good. gonna disagree.
One piece has luffy who is a mid tier power at best. And zatch bell has zatch who was literally the shit tier of all shit tiers. then whatever bobobo-bobo-bobobo was. And that's just on the top of my head.
>Statement specifically made for Deku.
>Wow I found this super handy robot that solves all my problems no one else can use!
Also read any wuxia (what shonenshit was inspired by) manga ever
Hard Mode: Don't say Osamu or Kenichi.
>wielders of a super duper special power no one else is allowed to learn
>Statement specifically made for Deku.
Also early naruto with the kage bunshin and infinite chakra stuff.
>Is there a single shonen protagonist that doesn't fit this formula?
Osa-
Fuck.
Wasn't Gash the son of the current Demon King and wielder of that super special Baou Zakeruga power that his brother envied him for? Don't get me wrong I love that series to bits but he's definitely special.
Joe is just a good boxer
>descendants of a legendary clan/figure/race
>wielders of a super duper special power no one else is allowed to learn
Emma from Promised Neverland?
what's the unique super power of kirito?
Dual Wielding. The main developer guy tells him outright that only one person was allowed to learn the Dual Wielding skill. Ignore this random background character though.
lol sup
>no one else is allowed to learn
>literally a power passed down from seven other niggers
OP did you want to just shit talk BNHA? Because you're doing a terrible job
Are sports manga allowed? Because I got your badass, hardworking, no bullshit superpower, underdog MC right here.
>dual wield isn't even supported in any of the other games
>wasn't actually faster than that girl with AIDS anyway so she would have gotten it instead under the same circumstances
Posting grounded sports manga, World Trigger, or Kenichi is basically cheating at this point.
And that makes it any less an example of what the OP was complaining about? The protagonist getting blatant special treatment?
So you want your super powered martial arts stories to have generic super powered martial artists with commonplace skill sets as the protagonists? Why have a super powered martial arts story at all if you're not going to be pitting masters with unique (or at least very rare) powers against each other? Not only is that taking something cool and making it boring and mundane, it's missing the element of aspiration to ascend above the pack and bring something unique to the table, which is definitely a drive that people should transfix themselves on.
>winning a 1/~6000 lottery to have a unique trait that doesn't actually mean anything by itself
>special treatment
SAO is shitty but why whine about something son fucking inane?
Patrician taste user
Because boring weaklings aren't fit to be shonen protagonist, retard. You are basically saying you want everybody to have the same powers. Go read real Literature if that's what you want.
>Ignore this random background character though.
More like ignore how skills actually work in SAO and assume you need the dual wielding skill to dual wield. They explained how skills work in the first episode. Pay attention next time.
he is the first one to use the ability to use quirks from past users
There are multiple unique skills, such as one you get for the most player kills, and the one Heathcliff had. The world itself gives special treatment to other people, not just the protagonist.
>descendants of a legendary clan/figure/race
>wielders of a super duper special power no one else is allowed to learn
>Is there a single shonen protagonist that doesn't fit this formula?
Kinda.
Characters can be strong and useful without being a snowflake, ridiculously overpowered, or in a world where everyone has the same powers. They're just either hard to pull off or aren't the main character.
World Trigger? It's been a while since I've seen Magane-Kun
I'm not sure characters popping up later on that also know how to transmute without a circle entirely mitigates how big a deal it's treated as being for a significant chunk of the story.
>You are shown that you can fight without skills. They just automatically control your body like in the boar fight.
>You are shown that characters can improvise and fight in ways outside the skill.
>"If someone is dual wielding that must mean they also have the dual wielding skill! You have to ignore the character or the show doesn't make sense!"
Sword Art is shit, but you, and all the people repeating this meme, are retarded.
A lot of sports manga are shonen, though. So they count.
I got an anime protagonist who isn't any of those. Although I don't think his series would count as shonen. Then again, then was a lot more bloody shit allowed back then.
Well it does turn out his family line has some super special snowflakes in it, although it doesn't serve too much as a direct cause of his powers. Still, he does have a super duper special power even for his setting.
go back to read fairy tail brainlet
But he was right there in the most recent two sets of chapters.
There are like 6 characters that can transmute without a circle by the end of the series. Big sacrifice to have the ability to do so, but it's not unattainable.
>Still, he does have a super duper special power even for his setting.
But anyone can learn it, and some people have.
But the lengths you have to go to in order to get it are outrageous, and he just kind of got it by accident while trying to do something else and fucking it up. Basically a silver age superhero sort of origin, but darker. In theory, anyone could be Daredevil if they fulfilled the same conditions, at least in terms of getting his powers.
Shinra from Fire Force
I WIN.
Because why would you follow a character who isn't exceptional somehow? Obviously the most major events will revolve around them.
>didn’t see Bleach, Naruto, Fire Force, Death Note, or any other shonen apparently
"Being a snowflake" is a dishonest term. It can be applied to anybody who can do something another person can't, does things differently from the norm, or is better at one aspect than anybody else. The real world is filled with these so called snowflakes.
>Characters can be strong and useful without being a snowflake
That's a strawman. They don't need to be special to beto be strong, but nobody claimed otherwise. We talked about protagonists, and they need more than strength, they need to be interesting, and you tend to need be special for that. Luckily, if you get into a character in detail, they tend to be special, since chances are everybody, including you, as long as you are capable of independent thought, do some things differently than everybody else, think differently from anybody else, or do certain things better than the people around you.
While I get generally what you're talking about, Ichcigo and Naruto were both parts of special bloodlines.
It's still somewhat true of Eren. He was still given the most important power in the entire world, even if he can't use it. Its implementation is quite a bit better than most of SnK's contemporaries when it comes to the most special powers ever. Although I'm sure people would throw Eren in the trash just for having the Attack Titan to begin with.
It was special snowflake power until powercreep.
They want to apply the standards of academic short stories to anime, despite probably not like academic short stories in the first place. (Who does, anyways?)
Even without the seven quirks, that user is a hairsplitting faggot. That would still mean the plot point is functionally identical to the descendants one, and would be functionally identical to the super duper special power one the moment All Might retired.
>he super duper special power one
In battle anime, pretty much all fighters have special powers, not just the protagonist.
Hashimaru is none of that. i think he will unironically save the shonen genre
>Posts correct response
>Gets ignored
>johnatan and joseph joestar
You can argue him being potentially a psychic, I guess?
It'd be dishonest to say Deku's special power is not of the super duper variety even before his seven quirks moment.
Good points, especially if you have one of those series where everyone has a one of a kind power then claiming that all of them are snowflakes isn’t gonna fly. It’s just how the series is.
What I figured OP was trying to ask was why quite a few shonen manga MCs end up getting that one exclusive power that makes them vastly superior to everyone else. Dunno what a good term for it would be that doesn’t have the word “snowflake” in it though.
That dude is great but isn’t that a seinen?
Its shounen pretending to be seinen
Nagisa from Assassination Classroom
Holds true until the end of the God of Death arc where his misdirection trick turns into a full blown stun gun that only he could use. It’s at least balanced out by the fact that he isn’t top tier in grades or overall physical ability so it isn’t too huge of a deal.
Came here to say this, my man.
But none of these applies to Deku. He isn't special or a descendant and OfA can be wielded by anyone.
>OfA can be wielded by anyone.
Until 7 quirks. He is the first one to get it. And the fact that unprepared kid got one of the strongest quirk by chance makes Deku very special. He didn't "earn" he was "chosen".
unironically a better story than the main manga
>Until 7 quirks. He is the first one to get it.
Anyone who is the 9th user would hav ehad the same shit happened to him dumbass
>Until 7 quirks.
>7
Retard. Also anyone who was the 9th user would have had the same occurance happened. It had nothing to do with Deku himself but whoever had the quirk at the point OfA grew.
>And the fact that unprepared kid got one of the strongest quirk by chance makes Deku very special.
No it doesn't. It even downplays that by having AM admit that he only gave it to him out pity.
>He didn't "earn" he was "chosen".
What the fuck is this? This is why you retards will never fucking win when you make piss poor arguments like this all the fucking time.
nice samefag
but that's not a shounen my dude
>checks to be sure
HOLY SHIT IT IS!
doesn't he have 8 quirks tho?
- giving power to others
- big boy power
- sadomaso whips
- 5 more
i am not super into bnha, don't bully me
You can just watch mature shows where the main character is a totally normal person, like VEG
Because people like stories like that.
It's why Jesus is so popular.
I bet you used to like it too, but now you're tired of it. Well surprise, some people are younger than you or haven't gorged themselves on pop culture as much as you and still like it.
>No it doesn't. It even downplays that by having AM admit that he only gave it to him out pity.
That's the in-universe explanation but from narrative point of view he is special.
>What the fuck is this? This is why you retards will never fucking win when you make piss poor arguments like this all the fucking time.
He did nothing to prepare for ofa or being a hero. If he "earn" ofa he needs to at least get fit. But no he just regular kid who's so lucky to meet AM and then get the strongest quirk.
I'd mainly say shinji because he's just a mentally disturbed 13 or 14 year old child that has to use a death God robot to save a world that wasn't kind to him and he didn't even wanna do it and gendo is just a cunt and not special at all so there.
You only need to ignore that random background character if you assume that you need the Sword Skill to pick up two swords. You don't. The novel tells you in one of the earliest chapsters than you can mimic the use of sword skills even if you don't have it.
>all this damage control because shitwit's in denial about Deku having a snowflake power nobody else has
Isn't AnJ seinen?
Sports protagonists are different anyway. They're usually plucky underdogs who have unrealized potential that a mentor picks up on, rather than being snowflakes.
No it's shonen
>shonen isn't supposed to be deep
What?! I was told HxH is the deepest work of art in the universe. Damn you, Hunter"""chads""".
>Why the fuck is every shonen protagonist a special snowflake of some kind?
>They're always either:
>>descendants of a legendary clan/figure/race
>>wielders of a super duper special power no one else is allowed to learn
How did you tards pass high school english? A Noble Birth is a prerequisite to being a hero. Supernatural Aid is STEP TWO of the Hero's Journey. Incredible adventures simply don't happen to literally whos without powers.
>This thread
>And the fact that unprepared kid got one of the strongest quirk by chance makes Deku very special
i agree about 7 quirks, but how is this any different than everyone else just being born with it?
TTGL works entirely on big dick energy.
More often than not the protagonist doesn’t wield any power that is substantially unique or broken by its very conception.
Look at Luffy’s rubber power. In western comics, they had to make Reed Richards the smartest man in the world to make him a credible leader of the Fantastic Four given that his power’s combat ability pales compared to the rest of his team.
Ichigo is pretty similar. His power is just having a sword and being really fast. That’s it. And in a world where literally every other strong character in the series has similar powers and special powers on top.
The lineage thing is definitely overused though.
Why is all moeshit/sol literally unwatchable in every single aspect?
>Ichigo is pretty similar. His power is just having a sword and being really fast. That’s it. And in a world where literally every other strong character in the series has similar powers and special powers on top.
You haven't reached the part that reveal he has like 4 different power sources?
Because you're underage. By the same token, reported for underageposting.
Ichigo is one of the worst examples you could choose, the guy is somehow part of every single race introduced
>no one else can use
Except other people can use it retard speedwatcher. Simon didn't start piloting Lagann because he was the chosen one or some shit, it was because Kamina turned down Simon having him test it out. Any spiral being that has the core drill can pilot Lagann.
>Why the fuck is the main character different from everyone else? Why doesn't the show just follow someone less interesting the entire time while the more interesting characters?
One of the most fundamental rules of storywriting is think about the story and history of the world you're creating, if a more interesting time/character exists, why aren't you showing that instead?
Except they can't because they don't have the K E Y S to the car retard
>speedwatcher
Is that what we're calling people that skim the wiki to win an argument on an anonymous messageboard?
If they aren't special, why would they be the protagonist?
Then why isn't Bakugou the main character? All we ever hear is how Kacchan is way more sugoi than Deku.
Because then betacucks wouldn't be able to self-insert into a NATRUAL CHAD
Know what'll really roast your noodle? Fist of the North Star is too
>announcing a report
How so? Kenshiro has 3 brothers with the north star training and 4 other dudes have a more violent version of it
>Naruto
He has no special bloodline skills and his multiplication jutsu isn't helpful past the original series
>wielders of a super duper special power no one else is allowed to learn
The real question is why do getting these special powers so often also include getting something that talks to them in their minds?
Except having the K E Y S isn't at all comparable to being the chosen one you utter retard. Simon literally just gives Rossiu the keys in episode 19, does that make Rossiu the chosen one?
I not talking about power level or whatever, but the idea of having a unique power no one else has. Ichigo
being a hollow-fullbringer-quincy-shinigami doesn’t change the fact that his big final power-up was..a second sword. Which was immediately destroyed by Ywach.
The only one in his group with more generic powers is Chad
He's no different than all the other typical mech mcs who get the snowflake mech. Still has a major equipment advantage that no one else has.
Again, it doesn't mean shit when it's just a possession. Rossiu got the same equipment advantage when he got the keys, as did Gimmy and Darry when they pilot Gurren Lagann in the epilogue.
>it doesn't mean shit when it's just a possession
>having a bigger house and more money doesn't give him any advantage or status
Shoo shoo poorfag
Have you ever considered not watching cartoons for children?
>comparing a mech to a house
These two
You just pull that shit From the depths of my memory. I watched that shit in Middleschool
What about Goku and tanjiro
Goku is quite explicitly nothing special
>a unique power no one else has.
> Ichigo is a hollow-fullbringer-quincy-shinigami hybrid
You know this really makes his power unique since it's the combination of all of these.
Bardock was the first super sayian. Even in the OVA he was stronger than King Vegeta.
What about tanjiro
Sure he has super smell but the other dude has super hearing so it evens out
because each protag is supposed to gain a power that makes them unique. Thats part of what makes battle shounen what it is.
Tanjirou is a bit special since his family has special technique that will lead to breath of sun. But whether or not he's one of Sunbros' descendent still isn't clear. He might just be an eldest son of a charcoal maker family or an great-great-great-greatgrandchildren of one of Sunbros (tho we already have that person in the story).

His entire team are special snowflakes so it really doesn't count
Think of it like this: a hybrid car uses gasoline and a rechargeable electric battery, but it is still a car and can only do what other cars do. You could have a 4-way hybrid that added a flywheel and compressed air energy storage, but if all it did was move like a car, it would still be a car.
Ichigo’s different origins obviously give him more power, but he uses it for just two things, and always has: 1) sword fighting 2) sword beaming.
UNIRONICALLY Goku. Hes a lowclass warrior of a mid tier race, the only reason he is strong is because others are lazier than him (or in bejitas case not as smart when it comes to training)
Nearly all people he faces were born strong. Frieza surpassed him in 4 months of training. Goku wins because he just puts in more effort. Sure, zenkai and hax teachers are a huge advantage, but its nothing compared to "i was born with a PL of 5 trillion lol"
You need to understand that core concept of his power, the hybrid thing, is what makes his power special. Sure he just uses sword but his "power" is very special. I'm not talking about uniqueness in term of his power look different but in term of no one else will have power like him. You can reproduce hybrid car but to create another person like Ichigo is different story. No one is like him and to create another person just like him is difficult to the point it is almost impossible.
His power is still a sword and being fast. Being a hybrid only gives him more raw power than normal, he still loses to hax
is there a manga where the protagonist has a really useless shitty power and he actually has to be creative to win the fights? Luffy is kinda like that but his power is actually too op and boils down to punching things
>If you don't like moeshit you're underage
Ok pedo
>No one is like him and to create another person just like him is difficult to the point it is almost impossible.
The bad guy from the novels created a boytoy hybrid like Ichigo

Luffy didn't start training until after he ate the Devilfruit.
You guys always seem to forget about this.
They're the main character BECAUSE of their super duper special ability. I get that a twist where the main character is actually the weakest or whatever could be cool, but in nearly every single heroes journey style story to ever exist the main character has some kind of trait that puts him above his peers. Look at something like the story of Hercules, son of a God. Fuck, even the bible tells stories about the special snowflakes who get to interface with God in some way.
Even the ability to work harder than your peers to overcome your weaknesses is a special snowflake ability. Main characters are special snowflakes. Get over it.
Edward Elric in Brotherhood isn't that special, he's just skilled and practiced in Alchemy, anyone who has attempted human transmutation and seen the gate of truth can perform alchemy without a transmutation circle
Because your success is vastly dependent on your ancestors success. Shounens are only being realistic here. Wanting the success to zero out in every generation would just lead to humans not getting out of caves (or life simply not appearing).
He ate the devil fruit when he was like 5
Isn't Goku from the God tier warrior caste of his race?
Isn't the only thing above his race literal dietes?
>Isn't Goku from the God tier warrior caste of his race
To some extent caste comes into it but I think it's largely random, but they tested him at birth and he was at the absolute lowest tier
Goku might not be a special snowflake now but he was when first introduced, I doubt toriyama had decided on his backstory from the very start
OP abilities are fun, but why can't they make the protagonists *earn* these powers instead of being born with them or getting them by chance? And no, your body "moving on its own" into a fight you cannot win is not enough reason to be granted the most overpowered quirk in the world, that's just you being retarded.
It's a literary thing. Stories are about important people. Nobody really cares to read about a random joe.
His grandfather threw him as a kid into a forest with huge bears. That is already enough for training.
Not really though. Anyone could get it, it's just that you have to do some fucked up shit and sacrifice a lot to do so.

good shonen
>everyone has unique powers and every person needs to work to develop its full potential. Ex: Jojo, One Piece.
shit shonen
>the MC has a unique power that makes him the stronger person by default. Ex: Boku no Hero Academia, Black Clover
Underrated as fuck manga
Is raildex a good shonen?
That's literally wrong though. Even though both asta and deku has ultra rare unique powers, everyone in those universes has unique powers too. Deku and Asta aren't automatically the strongests because of their powers. If you want an example to shit shounen you should've said bleach
>Tanjiro
>Not a descendant of a legendary clan
wot
>MC has a unique power that makes him the stronger
>Black Clover
What? I mean Asta sure is special but his power does not make him automatically stronger, it's the fact that he has done hard physical training for basically his entire life. Give his power to almost any other character in the series or even to a version of himself that didn't train his ass for years and he'd be fucking useless.
Yuno is a case of a cliche sorta unique power that makes him stronger but that's mostly on purpose.
Kenichi.
And why the fuck not? It's generally boring to watch someone normal.
Everyone in bleach also has unique powers and Ichigo isn't automatically the strongest either
They can be different in many other, much more creative ways than what we've already seen a countless times that is the special power/lineage bullshit. It's not fun when they aren't different from 90% of other protagonists.
Thats the problem with the anime and manga industry, too much fucking sameness in every work.
He still fits OP's criteria and hard. Next MC.
everyone has unique powers but ichigo has 10 different unique powers
>They can be different in many other, much more creative ways
Name three.
Luffy was fine until Kings Haki.
Or just Haki in general. Everyone has to specialize except Luffy because muh protagonist.
Half the point of that whole "LOW CLASS WARRIOR" thing Vegeta was crying about is that it's bullshit. Every Saiyan can reach insane heights if they work hard enough. Some of them just get a headstart. Most of the Saiyans didn't bother because they were so caught up in their caste thing.
Just like Deku and Asta
No he doesn't
>That's the in-universe explanation but from narrative point of view he is special.
How is he special?
>He did nothing to prepare for ofa or being a hero.
He stupied his ass off to be a hero and what the fuck he trained for 12 months before even getting ofa
You guys just can;t help being wrong all the damn time.
>i am not super into bnha
I can see that given how fucking stupid you are
>anyone who has attempted human transmutation and seen the gate of truth can perform alchemy without a transmutation circle
Which is one of a few individuals. That;s still special.
i would have made BNHA exactly like that
Quirkless people can't be Heroes. It's even illegal
Not that user but do they have to be battle manga? Because there's so many other cool stories out there that can make you invested in their conflicts despite having somewhat normal or not too overpowered MCs.
I hate to sound like a broken record but World Trigger does it nicely by making the MC a weak but personable dude who has to fall back on using trickery and support tactics in order to reach his goals. What people aren't telling you is that it also has one MC who has trained really hard prior to the start of the story and another that is straight up overpowered, so the story can appeal to an audience who won't necessarily like the weak MC approach.
The other two I can think of that aren't sports manga are Majin Tantei Nogami Neuro and Cells at Work/BLACK, but those are more mystery/slice of life series with action elements in them instead of full blown battle manga.
this
people were always blown away at how weird it is for him to use his ability without the circle.
They wouldn't find it weird if it wasn't special/rare
You make a number of good points, but
>Not that user but do they have to be battle manga?
yes, since we're talking about Shonen.
the most overpowered quirk is the all-for-one.
One for all requires generations of transfering power to reach a good level while all for one can just take quirks and combine them in a few days.
Because without winning a genetic lottery or/and some other form of massive blind luck you're doomed to mediocrity and shitposting on an anonymous image board (no, luck, with your genes or otherwise is not a sufficient requirement for success, but it is a necessary requirement). And nobody, except for SoL fags, who read SoL and not battle shonen, wants to read about about mediocre people, and shitposting is something the target audience can do IRL rather than experience vicariously through a heroic story MC.
That's why you are not an author of a world-popular series.
All three of those are shonen, and WT is still a battle manga despite following the story beats of a sports manga for over half of its lifetime so it still counts.
I think Birdmen is a decent example too, but it's shifted away from the monster of the week formula and into more of a globe trotting adventure series.
If you really want to stretch the definition of "battle manga" then maybe Shokugeki no Soma, but that manga's MC dropped the ball hard in the second half so hardly qualifies anymore.
>implying being from a coal burner family is legendary
Hes revealed not to be related by blood with that legendary branch (sun breath users) or the guy who almost killed MJ.
>Is raildex a good shonen?
It's chuunishit, not shounen.
>why is it that stories about people changing the world have talented main characters
really got me there buddy
Because empathy, that's all
Except he doesn't.
Raoh, Toki and even Jagi the Jobber knows Hokuto Shin Ken and Toki was stated to by a hyper genius at it who would have been named the successor if not for the radiation fallout, and Raoh if he was a gentler person. Even Musou Tensei isn't unique to Kenshiro because Raoh learns it right after Ken does, though Ken has a more unique variant on it.
The problem is never that the 'MC is super duper awesome special', it's more 'The writer never does anything to make it's cast keep up'.
You're never going to see Piccolo go on some Namekian soul seeking journey to gain ancient wisdom and a lost Namekian power to become a Namekian God or anything.
Hinata was never going to learn some unstoppable trigrams that can hit anything regardless of distance or durability
Momo is never going to make nanomachines made of some super metal polymer to have some Iron Man armor at will
Chad was never going to get a Big O spiritual pile bunker or Mantra Asura arms
That's the problem. As much I am tired of the MCs being super duper special too, it's more that the side characters do not get love.
I mean even if Hori decided to amp Bakugo and Todo to keep up, what can he do?
Make Baku sweat unstable atoms and he fires nukes? Have Todo be half 'Omega Level Iceman' and 'Half Phoenix Force'? Cause that's really the only way

KnuckleDuster from Vigilantes
ah the famed coalburner clan
Uzumaki clan members were apparently especially well-suited to become jinchuriki due to naturally being especially hardy, and having the Nine-Tails inside him was a super duper snowflake power, even more than for the other jinchuriki due to it being the strongest one.
>You're never going to see Piccolo go on some Namekian soul seeking journey to gain ancient wisdom and a lost Namekian power to become a Namekian God or anything.
It was nice when he was temporarily the strongest main character a couple times. Namely against form 2 Frieza and after he merged with Kami. Sadly, neither of those time periods lasted very long.
Haki is pretty common now, though. Even CoC, which isn't even that good, is pretty common in the new world.
Couldn't you spam OfA by having a chain of 50 people who trade it to each other? That way, the last person ends up being Saitama-tier.
How would they earn it?
Luffy earned advanced CoO by risking his life against Katakuri.
Instead of whining about it like a little bitch, just pick up
Instead of whining, pick up some seinen. Actually raise your fucking standards for storytelling, rather than continuing to implicitly support and eat the plates of shit Shonen Jump presents you. You DO have a choice, after all.
Only Goku is allowed to know the Teleport and Kaioken in Dragon Ball and ir part of a legendary monkey race.

Because Bakugou has a terrible personality that takes multiple arcs to develop into something semi-bearable.
Not canon.
The fat kid MC from Accel World loses his wings, which were his defining feature, so then he had to spend a while moping around on the ground. He ended up getting a jetpack later on though.
This is one of the most retarded critics of stories ever. Of course the protagonist is going to be a special person in someway. That's the whole reason why he's a protagonist. The point of an story, an action or drama story especially, is to be exciting. It's not exciting to watch the mundane life of a completely normal peasant. The MC needs to be unusual and important in some way compared to everyone else.
