thunderkitten13 said: Hell no lmfaooo, I choked on my coffee. One Piece, Seven Deadly Sins, Psycho Pass (not shonen but still has strong female lead that doesn’t rely on sexual appeal or cute factor), Jujutsu Kaisen, Naruto; the list is endless lol Had me with One Piece but lost me with Naruto...probably one of the worst examples lol. Replace that with FMA or Gintama and we're good. |

| Last year I made this thread as a joke and I see people took it seriously. 🤣🤣🤣 Ok, guys. I need to tell you something important. No hate on Power and she is amazing character, but we cannot label Power as best girl at all. No even as female, actually. Why? Because she is in fact Blood Devil and devils do not have a biological sex or gender. Those entities are manifestations of human fears and merely assume various forms associated with their respective fear when they end up in human world. What we see as devil in human world is their visage and does not represent their biological sex or gender identity. Once they get killed, they return to hell and can possibly be reborn later in human world looking as something completely different. From what we know Blood Devil is merely possessing a corpse, that used to belong to a female. Blood Devil not being female is further supported by the fact, that Power once clogged a toilet with her feces and as we all know women do not poop. Yes, I know. I was also disappointed, but what can you do... |

| I think it's Naruto with Sakura as the best female. |
  |
| Non non non These battle shonens have way better female characters Csm good but not the best    |

| God, out with these buzzwords. Anime ain't the place for that talk. |

| Why are you searching good female representation in shonen? Watch shojou or anime originals if you want some good female representation. Hxh have pretty good female representation (there's like no woman, but when they're present, you don't feel like they are just assets to the other male characters) and it also got some pretty cool trans representation (alluka, kalluto). I know some ppl will present JJK's female character as a great exemple of good fem char rep, but they're basically just what other battle shounen should do. If you want to watch aime that really talk about what women have to face everyday, you got Utena, Kill la Kill, Nana, Perfect blue and the list goes on. I'll finish by saying that I'm a man and I might be telling you BS right now, who knows? |

| As it was said in the other thread, both Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man are very successful on that aspect, as they have girls who are both modest and conventionally attractive at the same time which is an extraordinaly good trait for anime and relates more to realistic standards, while they are also well developed and vary in their character and personality without over exaggerating their emotions, they are really well written and designed and it is a very good aspect of these two series in general |
| nope black lagoons female cast>>>> |
 |
| TIL that chainsaw man and jjk are the only battle shounen |

| its solid buuuuutttttt Black Clover negs tbh. Im a sucker for characters who talk shit but suck ass and then later on they get gud and they earn their right to shittalk. That's Noelle in a nutshell. |

| Power is referred to as "she", not ït" or "they". Her whole design is done like that so she could be perceived as female even tho she is a fiend the author obviously wanted this character to be a woman. I'm losing brain cells seeing people argue that she should not be considered a female character... |

Zolo_124 said: Do we realy need to put social stuff in entertainment ? like which anime has the best female representation ? I think that we should just view anime and other media as fiction and just move on with life. Because in my opinion it's negative to think that if an anime has less female representation then it's bad. I think we should just allow the creators to do whatever they want with the characters. yes. good female characters are so uncommon that you don't recognize it as "a part" of the anime, IMO all anime should have good (strong!!) female characters but most of them are [generic fanservice-generator MC wife #3] |

FlushAllen said: LostSpectre said: Why can't she be gendered? Seems obvious enough that she's female. power is a devil devils can't reproduce therefore genders are non existent in devil biology "gender" "biology" 😭😭😭😭😭 |
| im gay |
| Srry guys but i can't help but laugh on yall takes on this thread like XDXDXD For me it's "define" female characters are like NOT FORCED to be likeable like fujimoto sensei managed to make these asshole female characters likeable like literally bec how realistic they are and there's way less female characters in csm this season rn so. (also none of them felt like a side character imo) that's my take see ya. |

| Yk for everyone who doesn't believe this anime have the best female representation in a battle shonen i'll say... 1. As of right now? A : Not yet because it has soon to reveal it in the future since there aren't enough female characters that can match your taste on what you believe to be a good female character or maybe a good female protagonist soon down the line if that ever happens. There may be a few but i can understand why not a lot of people would relate to them for example : Kobeni being forced to be a sex worker or a devil hunter when she doesn't want them both but she chooses to be a devil hunter potentially risking herself dying rather than giving her body up which is sign of a true respect from me, then there's Himeno who literally just want Aki to live a good life because well.. she probably knew Aki was going to die in the future one way or another thanks to his curse devil contract. But all she ever wanted (from my own perspective) she just wants to Aki to cry only for her in a hope SO that aki can be more humane down the line in the story because you all know he wants revenge against the gun devil right? but nearly everyone already realized how fucked up that goal is because it's literally impossible to try and defeat. So basically, Himeno just wanted for Aki to live an easier life with all the lifespan he has left rather than fighting against the impossible. So, in summary i believe Himeno isn't really in love like lovey dovey like you would expect in all of shonen females in the battle shonen animes. i think that's what nearly most of us fail to understand the meaning behind this relationship of Aki and Himeno. (i do believe there are some out there, but they don't know how to type it or say it well or maybe they feel a bit embarrassed) 2. So basically just stay in the waiting game i guess lol for future seasons and also i'm not saying this anime has the best female representation in a battle shonen, there COULD potentially be in the future animangas that can show a good female representation and it doesn't have to be the best it can be because it depends on the authors knowledge on their views of what a good female character should be. 3. This is why i love Fujimoto sensei and why he's literally one of the best mangakas in our generation, making me possibly believe he will inspire a lot of future mangakas, and i'm very thankful to have someone as young and talented like him especially in my age. There's other mangakas that i believe right know on how to write a good female character like Gege sensei of JJK and Yūji sensei of Hell's Paradise. Finally, don't let their annoying moments block you from seeing their true pain inside and it's not just females but rather males as well in the future here i want to believe. Yeah, and that's my take :) |

| 1) Gintama. 2) Jojo 6. 3) CSM. 4) JJK. 5) Bleach. 7) Claymore. 8) Black Lagoon. 9) ~ Every other shonen ~ 10) One piece. CSM isn't the best, but One Piece is clearly the worst. |
