Given how the responses are like, most of the main protagonists seem to be boring/okay.

In a way I gotta agree, I'm actually more into these Anime/Manga for the world settings and the supporting characters.

For that note, Ichigo is the most boring (because he angsts too much and that allows less time for the other characters to develop). On the other hand, Luffy and Toriko are too generic (and extremely fixated in a single emotion at any one time).

The only one I watch/read is One Piece, so I'll have to go with Sanji. He's the least interesting of the Straw hat crew by far. Plus, he tends to be annoying sometimes.

All of the shonen jump protagonists. I don't even know where to start....
well not all of them are alike bleach characters are the boring one in shonen jump


On the contrary, all of them are uninspirational and are exempliary of how massive amounts of plot armor and poor writing can turn a generally engaging story into little more than "go into battle, get insta upgrade, talk about insta upgrade, beat X and save Y, get into next battle and lose, lose Y again, insert filler arc here".

I think this thread is turning into a field of hatred...

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.

Oh I guess I forgot someone: It's Ichigo from Bleach.
Power ups so much? Actually I find Hichigo would be awesome but since Ichigo is as the same reason as Naruto does: Kyuubi & Hollow Ichigo.
