Shonen Protagonist

Shonen Protagonist Frienship, Effort and Victory Gender: Anyone Type: A hard-working and big-hearted hero who values his friends and his own growth. Species: Trope Status: Very Used Media of origin: Countless, especially in shonen anime and manga

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

Why This Trope Surpasses Its Limits

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.
   • Their stories show that the destination is not what matters, but the journey and the experiences that are gained from it.
7. 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.
