Is there a single character that is you, or do a whole bunch of characters capture parts of you?

Shinji Ikari and Hikigaya Hachiman are probably the characters I relate to the most

I feel like i am Yugi Muto. We are both short, shy, and love games.
My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

Kek.

And, I wonder why I am the only male on MAL that talks about female characters he relates to, not just male.

Other male MALers are insecure?

Finally I am not the only male MALer that compares himself to female characters.

And we have the same birthday. But different year.

Finally, I'm starting to find characters I relate to other than just Shirou Emiya, so I can provide more than one character for once :')

Shirou Emiya and Natsuki Subaru I relate to for extremely similar reasons (they're the type to set themselves on fire to keep others warm), yet they still have their own unique traits that I see myself in. Episode 16 of UBW for Shirou and episode 16 of Re:Zero s2 for Subaru are showcases of why they mean so much to me and why I can relate to them. For someone who doesn't see themselves in characters, it hit me like a truck seeing these episodes.

Another set of characters I relate to, who may be a bit less known, are Megumi Saitou and Taku Yokoi from Asper Kanojo. I suppose it's because this series explicitly has autistic characters, but it's still so validating seeing characters who act like me in both the good and bad moments.

The last major character I see myself in is one Yatora Yaguchi from Blue Period. He's the artist who constantly feels like he's falling behind and doesn't know what to do. Reading this during my senior year of university where I was taking mostly art courses was like a punch to the face. I was the only non-art major in the courses, I barely knew what I was doing, the professors hated my work but wouldn't outright say why, I was working with unfamiliar mediums and processes. And the entire time, when I would go to read Blue Period, whether it was catching up or because of a new translated chapter, I felt like Yatora was right there with me dealing with the same struggles.


All these characters had me ugly crying, going "S/HE'S JUST LIKE ME, FR" like that goddamn Denji or whoever meme. As I consume more media, it's are that I find someone that I can fully latch onto and see my annoying, broken, weirdass self in, but when I do? Those characters mean the world to me.

a max of shinji, asuka, denji, power and kaede azusagawa / taiga imo, there's a reason they're on my favourites, if someone was to describe me it'd be purely shinji and denji though, depression and boobs

Violet Evergarden is probably the most relatable character. Besides the being a badass part...

Hmmmm I suck at judgjing/describing the personalities so it is very hard for this so I will mainly focus on look-like.

For personality I would say that Ichigo Kurosaki and Shuuhei Hisagi would be close to represent me.

For look like it would be Shuuhei Hisagi and Isshin Kurosaki (the young version from TYBW arc flashbacks) but you would need to add a moustache and beard to them. Here's how they look like:


Btw (I know less related but the recent story from a trip and it will answer what you should imagine in look like when I was writing about Isshin and Hisagi)
Around 2 days ago I found out that there is a famous arist/singer who's very similar to me when it comes to look like of the face and that is Camilo. You mainly need to cut these fancy turned moustache parts on edges as mine isn't that stylised/grown and you need to change his eyes color into dark-green and I do wear glasses but it doesn't matter as I can wear lenses x). Here's 2 clips of his songs if you don't know him/how he look like.

i think toshio ozaki, hendrickson, smoker and trafalgar law have similar personalities to me. they are all kind of serious, observant and cautious control-freak type ppl who are work/goal-oriented.

Yeah. Previously I used to hesitate to retaliate when something bad happens to me. Now I've got some courage :)
similarly enough, the monologue Tachibana Kimika had in the alt ending of It's my own invention made me feel like Sca-DI was vocalizing the same emotions I had begun to feel right before I started reading this story, as if they were written down and he was just copying them from a paper. I feel immense respect for Takuji for reacting in the exact same way that I wanted him to, with the exact same action I would have reacted with, in that moment.

I find female characters more relatable in general. Weird.

I am literally Asuka, but not in the badass elite Eva pilot who spits in the face of the angel of death kind of way. More of a, gets really pissed off and rages at trivial things because their life is a mess and nothing seems to be going according to plan, kind of way.

We also both have a deep appreciation for Thursday AKA Jueves.

As a kid, I was very like Motoko Kusanagi from the movie most of the time with small moments of kid Naruto(goofy moments) towards people I like(mostly to make them laugh) and I dealt with difficult moments like Oz Vessalius(simply ignoring the bad part and being pragmatic)

As a teen I was like Vash the Stampede, with Luffy's views on freedom and defiance towards unrational and/or forceful authority figures

As a young adult I was exactly like Guts after Griffith monologue up until him figuring out his life goal/dream.(but without actually figuring out a goal xD)

Nowadays I'm like Killua, Lain or L...I'm an INTP

This might make me sound insane, but I probably relate to Kirei Kotomine (Fate series) more than any other fictional character. I grew up with a lot of religious guilt, and I have always had a hard time connecting to other people. I worry a lot that I'm an evil person and that I will never feel like I belong anywhere. Kirei being unable to connect to other people because of the way he was born and wondering if he would live and die forever disconnected from the rest of the world really reminded me of myself.

Megumi Saitou (Asper Kanojo) also reminds me of myself a little. I do not have aspergers, but I found her mental health struggles relatable. Also, her enjoying metal music and having a noncon fetish.

I see a lot of myself in Yuugo Hachiken, I even think I resemble him in appearence. Atleast I resembled him a lot when I was in highschool, a little less now.

In my mind I like to think I am this hot boy

Reality is a little more like those quiet girls who never open up unless I am spoken to.
