The Modern Shonen Protagonist Appeal.

- Shonen has changed a lot through the years. Stories evolved with time and characters changed too, especially protagonists. Nowadays the biggest battle shonen, like Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man and My Hero Academia have very emotional and broken protagonists, very different from the ones that shonen used to have in the 90s.
The question is how did they change and how this affected the evolution of shonen. Why is Denji so different from Goku and why is he so similar...to Shinji? Today we're gonna delve into the realm of shonen and try to understand how greats of the past like Berserk and Evangelion have influenced the modern protagonists, like Yuji, Deku and Denji.
Enjoy.

I like the idea that shonen manga always tries to create the perfect hero, but every era needs its own kind of hero and that's why they change so much throughout the decades
Yeah I agree :)
I feel like thjs Gen writing give more screen time to develop then the Protagonist
For example :- Jujutsu kaisen and Sakamoto Days
Fun fact: Devil Man is a shonen manga .
My bad cause when I was writing I was thinking about the fact that Crybaby was an anime. Very stupid mistake
Denji is just my favorite MC in general.
I love Denji too as you can see from my channel :)
Nice Video and to answer your question I first started watching shonen at maybe 4 to 5 years old and my favorite Shonen is My Hero Academia.
Cool, thank you for sharing :)
Yuji is my goat
I love Yuji too as you can see in this vid as well as the one i made about JJK specifically
@@AndrewRowl fuck gege for bullying my baby
Great video, really enjoyed!
Thank you man :)
RURI DRAGON IS BACK
EXACTLY!
Ok how exactly did Denji get grouped with these 2
They are the protagonists of the three most followed shonen at the moment, even though they are different they have things in common and I try to explain it in the video :)
By the way the point of the video essay is not to say that the three of them are the same, but just trying to understand why they work, what they inherit from the past of manga and what's new and fresh about them
I just rewatched the video and it makes more sense now also love your content @@AndrewRowl
@@jndknnveirdjnskjnknsnknnThank you man🙏
Denji has a very good goal
Funny how you ignore Boruto as an MC when hes pretty much one of the best mc out here rn
Denji and Itadori still the best tho 😎👍
Gonna be honest. You have not made your point in the video. What you have explained is how the newer generation is just a lesser quality of protagonists than the older gen. The aspects you mentioned such as under dogs and emotionally broken are common in all genres, with the exception of denji all the new gen mcs you mentioned dont sound unique at all
In my opinion the way mcs communicate their feelings has changed a lot compared to the Big 3 and previous shonen generations in general. Still, thank you for sharing your opinion as I love to use this comment space as a way to confront and debate
@@AndrewRowl all good. But I still don't see how they communicate it much differently.
You just have never watch gintama bro no shounen protagonist is like gintoki and very few are as well written like him(including non shounen mc) and definitely not the new gen protagonists
wait deku has appeal?
He is literally Peter parker lol
@@jasonblack2477peter is more appealing to me idk why
@@jasonblack2477 But Peter is a flawed character and average, while Deku not so much. Deku literally has everything given to him, while Peter gets religuously screwed by his writers.
@bennogb5069 man, I did not know how you came that he got everything given to him, not like he works hard
@@rougekinghtrishi524 bro he literally has the Sage of seven paths ultra booster Jesus quirk, wich got retconned from early in the story to have multiple quirks.
Boruto is trash ez
