Every shounen is about getting stronger and beating your enemy. But there's different kinds of ways to reach the top. What's your favorite?

1. Training. Training. And training. Sometimes it's even boring to watch when main character does his tenacious training. Sometimes training methods are hilarious (enjoys watching torturous training=I'm sadist).
2. Natural talent. Main character intuitively figure's a new style.
3. Also solving your mental problem's is a part of getting stronger.
4. "I'm already the strongest, no need to do anything." Cool anime without training, just awesome fights. Is there one?
5. Use magic/ free the demon inside you and get the ultimate power for a while. (Yeah, I mean Naruto etc)

Doesn't it annoy you that there's this powering up theme? Or do you think it's crucial part of shounen?
