| Okay, so in the first episode, there is a question that the man asks the woman. Who is the main character. So after looking at the incomplete character list on MAL (since the complete list of characters is absurdly long, its okay), I came up with this idea. Who IS the main character? Pretty much this is an open-ended question without an answer, because almost all the immortals (yes even Czes) can be considered as THE main character. This topic is to see which ONE character in your opinion, is the main character. The one the story (anime) is centered upon. |
 |
| My first reaction is Firo, but I have no backing for that. Just a gut response. Isaac and Miria are undeniably important, though I don't know if they're the MAIN characters. I don't know. |

I don't know. I'd actually say Isaac and Miria are the main characters, but no backing for that either. To be honest, I like the fact that this is not an easy answer; it shows how almost all the characters are so well developed to the point where it's impossible to say which one is more important. |
  |
| Very true. If I had to pick one, it would definately be Rail Tracer/Vino. After hearing his moving speech of how the world surrounds him (such an self-centered view... lol), I was somewhat astonished I guess, to be able to claim that and back it up to the point of making others believe. All the characters are really well developed. |
|
| I think Isaac and Miria are, because all the main events always occur around them. |
  |
| I don't think there is ONE main character. The entire show is a string of several different plots, each with its own main character(s). Isaac and Miria do string them all together, but they're not the main characters of any of the plots other than their own. |
| There is no absolute answer to this question, which makes it debatable/talkable. Even though Isaac and Miria have absolutely no real point there but for comedy. They do not forward the plot very much, but regardless, Isaac and Miria do have a mission underneath their joyous scavengers. lol :D anyways. :P |
|
| Wow this is a tough one... Isaac and Miria do seem to be involved with everything, so they might be the main characters. I would like to say that Luck is the main character, but I don't really have anything to back that up, other than he is Luck Gandor. |
 |
| Maiza Because the demon (I think his name was Gerd - but we find him as Luck Gandor afterwards in the last episode) gave him the secret of immortality, which he shared with the others afterwards. On another hand, it could be the demon himself, because without the immortality potion, we would have no immortals to hunt/fear each other XDXP |
| Hard question here. I think it's the entire cast of characters which is the main character in this show. Some appears more than others, but they're all important for the story so... |
 |
| haha thats kind of the main point. Which character is the main character... or the mainest character at least. |
|
| I actually thought Luck was someone else than the Demon. I don't think that someone with so little show time could actually be the main character though... although truthfully, the creators of Baccano did go through a lot and made it concise and pin point, which then makes the story so very difficult to decipher and figure out. I'm thinking that the vice chief would never show himself to anyone... he doesn't even do so... to you the audience >.> every time you see him he is behind the stacks... Why should he make his appearance in such a manner that does not seem right... >.> I dont know >.> lol =P |
|
| I couldn't help thinking that the Newspaper dude with blond hair was the demon. I just couldn't figure out who the main character is. There's like more than five main characters. The main one I would have to choose is Maize. |
| There is certainly no main character, but Isaac and Miria would definitely be the supporting characters. Maiza would be the main character if the story was straight forward. |
| gut felling says Firo. brain says there is no main character |
 |
| Heh, probably really all immortal ;p But maybe Claire Stanfield, Maiza Avaro or Ronnie Sukiart??? |
 |
| It's like Vino said, there is just "my" world. In this series we get to see the different roles the characters play and most important, how they react and choose to act during the strange events they face. What is very peculiar here is that we see the story through different perspetives. So if we consider the world as a variety of subjective and individual worlds (which is Vino's perspective of the world, that is "me"/"you" as the main character of own life) then in the end, all characters are main characters, and i believe that's the main idea (and the whole concept) of this series. |
| It's FIRO. He's lead character-ISH. yes. -ISH :D But, I think it's Isaac and Miria. Well, they connected everyone together... But, i somehow feel that everyone is the main character though. |
| Issac and Miria basically made the majority immortal at the party...pretty funny..so i's go with them....there was something about Firo that made him stand out to...probably because he was one of the first one mentioned |
    |
| Claire's the main character. That's what he said anyway. |

| No one main character according to me, and that's one of the best things here, we get to see so much development from many leads during the series. I love this way of presenting the plot, as it's said in the opening episode: "A story has as many points of view as many ppl are involved in it"... I think this is the main focus throughout! =))) |

| If I had to pick one I'd go with Maiza, considering he's the one that started the whole immortals thing. |
 |
Maryberry said: Claire's the main character. That's what he said anyway. .So Right. |
| Firo is more of a decoy protagonist. Isaac and Miria have the role of tying the plot elements together, so they really are closest to being main characters, but I think the whole point is that there are none. Some characters COULD take the main role, like Claire or Ronny, but the story doesn't focus on any of those. |
| “There's power in the night. There's terror in the darkness. Despite all our accumulated history, learning, and experience, we remember. We remember times when we were too small to reach the light switch on the wall, and when darkness itself was enough to make us cry out in fear....” ~ The Dresden Files ★ ★ ★ |
| Wasn't Firo confirmed to be the main character according to the writer? |
 |
| I think that the point of the question is to prove that there is no one main character in the overall story BUT they are all main characters at the same time (depending on whose view you look at it from). Personally, I think it's just to prove that stories ARE biased as they are (usually) seen from the main character's POV or at least an outsider following the main character around. But I LOVE how Baccano! uses this warped sense of story telling (non-chronological and multiple timelines and settings from different POV) yet everything still seems to make sense. And probably better than if they told it conventionally. But if I HAD to pick someone...I don't know...maybe the devil guy since he started it all?? But I feel like it should be Isaac and Miria although their personalities seem more like main characters from a comedy...Or Firo just because Carol said it at the beginning and it makes be sort of feel biased towards it...or maybe even Carol herself jest because she introduced the story... I guess it just whoever you feel it should be?... |
