Comments on Jump's protagonists
Ichigo - he is just a bland and completely empty character with no goal.
Luffy - he is pretty generic (eat lots of food and an idiot).
Naruto - the only thing that make me think he's boring is because of the friendship crap with Sasuke.
Gon - just your naive kid.
Tsuna - your normal wimpy kid. I wish he just stays in Dying Will all the time.
Toriko - uhh... your normal overpowered hero... a trait that makes him boring.
Oga - same as Luffy, generic. (I love Furuichi's antics)
Mashiro - this is a real life shonen... so the character must be close to a real human's personality... which makes him boring. (I don't find him boring, I love the series. The only thing that I hate about him is from the start, he said he won't do a gag manga... but they did Tanto. How I hate the Tanto arc.)
While we say that we hate the characters... there are some kind of charm to the characters that people remains to watch/read the story. I love those series that I mentioned just now. I read like 80% of the manga in WSJ. But Bleach is an exception. I really am starting to hate it.
Yet you add more hatred to the thread, and even hate on almost all of the shonen jump protagonists. =P
Ichigo, by far, is the most bland, uninspired, and boring main character. What's worse, he's also a sad excuse for a shonen jump character. Most of them have dreams and goals; he has nothing. What's his goal or dream? Absolutely nothing.
I can't say I understand why you find Toriko to be boring. He's over the top, entertaining, and a complete badass. Like Luffy. They're easily the most entertaining MCs in Shonen Jump.
Oh, and how could anyone forget about Gintoki? There's no one more hilarious than him.
Gon's awesome, from what little I've seen of him. His innocence and open-minded ways are charming.
Oga and Bossun have their moments. Bossun is like a less funny version of Gintoki.
Ashirogi Muto are dreadfully boring. Too normal. Too plain and naively optimistic.
Sasuke is a runner-up for worst MC, right behind Ichigo. Now, you must be telling yourself, "Wait, Mormegil, Sasuke isn't the main character! It's Naruto!"
Yeah, well, why don't you tell that to Kishi? Naruto hasn't been the MC for a long, long time. |
