Shonen Protagonist



The shonen protagonist archetype is a character who has traits of a protagonist in shonen manga and anime.

Why This Trope Rocks

 * 1) These kinds of heroes have to work hard to improve their capabilities.
 * 2) Many shonen heroes have grit, as they do not always win and have to push beyond their limits.
 * 3) No matter how many odds are against them, they refuse to give up.
 * 4) They fight for altruistic reasons, most notably to protect their friends.
 * 5) They grow not only in terms of abilities but also in terms of strength of character, as they grow as people throughout their journeys.
 * 6) They can be relatable characters, as they represent the fact that all people have their own goals in life, deal with obstacles and find ways to overcome them.
 * 7) *Their stories show that the destination is not what matters, but the journey and the experiences that are gained from it.
 * 8) They are charismatic, as they can turn their enemies and rivals into friends and allies.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Many shonen heroes are known for being dimwitted, naive, reckless and/or impulsive.
 * 2) Most shonen heroes can be rebellious, mischievous, unruly and/or temperamental.
 * 3) These characters tend to suffer some plot armor.
 * 4) Like Shojo heroines, many shonen heroes refuse to kill their pure evil and/or too dangerous villains. Most times this leads to half-baked redemptions no one asked for, and the hero never learns and/or accepts that mercy doesn't always work.
