Nope, only Fujimoto can make a character like Denji work. In any other writers hands Denji would have been ruined. So I don't want other authors to create character like Denji.

Because Denji is literally self insert.
Fujimoto is self admitted masochist.

I think their is a lot more to Denji's character than just being self insert for Fujimoto. I think "Fujino" and "Kyomoto" from Look Back feel way more self insert for Fujimoto than Denji ever did. Denji is just a character who is written as a personification of the Maslow's hierarchy of needs. We see Denji going through each stage throughout the course of the manga. It doesn't feel all that self insert to me.

Not really. At least in the anime he has a voice. In the manga, imagining his voice as he said and did the most cringy shit was just too much torture for me and my one brain cell

Yes, there is. I never said there isn't.
Denji overall is a simpleton without any ambitions other than eating toasts with jam and getting Makima's favour, who completely exploited his kind nature and basically enslaved him.
He is totally relatable.

Can't wait for those threads bashing Denji that he is cringy simp and comparing him to Kazuya. I can already tell it will happen. XD

Yeah I agree. Those kinds of threads are inevitable. I knew this before even the anime started that Denji is gonna get hated for being a simpleton. I can already see a lot of hatred for Denji in this thread alone.

Which aspect of Denji? Being a simpleton? A loyal dog? But in all cases, lots of shounen MCs share many of these traits, so I don't want more of that anyway.
I sometimes forget to finish my sentences.

Denji isn't that unique honestly. If you want characters with horrible backgrounds you already got anime like Akame Ga Kill, Tokyo Ghoul, Attack on Titan, just naming the more popular anime. Characters with no great ambition aren't that hard to find either. Denji is simply the most praised degenerate at this time.

Those already exists, for example in romance and comedy there is Kazuya from Kanojo Okarishimasu, probably the MC from Inu ni Nattara Suki na Hito ni Hirowareta too since he is literally turned into the dog of a hot girl.

Denji would be great if he were just selfish and not a simp. Pochita is his higher self metaphorically speaking.

A simp with the heart of a chad.

I just want more varied protagonists in general. Tanjiro, Deku, Natsu, Naruto, and a lot more all are just the same character with like an extra trait thrown in to differentiate. Itadori, Asta, Denji, and Luffy all feel like more interesting protagonists to watch

What do you mean "Denji-esque"? Because many characters out there already share plenty of personality traits with him.

Apparently you're wrong, the MC of Inu ni Nattara Suki na Hito ni Hirowareta ain't a simp like Kazuya or Denji, he's just another generic MC who was forced to do such things.

There need to be more male mcs that are confident and independent, not wimpy and dependent on another’s. Denji is ok due to his circumstances and how he progresses, but I don’t wanna see more Denjis

They already did.
I finally recall the character that is similar to Denji. It's Grelle Sutcliff from Black Butler.


Similarity between Denji and Grelle
- Has chainsaw
- Has shark teeth
- Demon/devil same
- Simp (only difference is straight vs yaoi)
- Pervert face blushing face when they thinking of feeling good doing naughty things
