The successful anime Shonen Naruto Presented to fans an icon of the time: Naruto Uzumaki himself. Shonen fans have seen a lot to love in this blonde ninja: his sympathetic background frame as a lonely orphan, his cool powers as a half-other jinchuriki, his inventive manners in combat and his idealistic mission to change the world for the best. Naruto was worthy to direct his own anime Shonen, but there are also some faults holding him.
Anime fans can also emphasize how Naruto is sometimes a little too rude, not to mention how his Bratty pranks irritated fans very early. Worse, the story of Naruto’s self -taught oppressed was collapsed when the Kurama chakra became his key to victory, not to mention the truth about the way Naruto was a child of fate through his Asura Asura. Naruto is always a good anime character, but Pound for Pound, some characters are much better. They have even more convincing arcs told in a better period of time, a more authentic outsider story or another cool touch of which Naruto would not have thought.
Luffy fights for freedom and invented his own combat style
Naruto can easily be compared to other shonen tracks oriented towards action, such as Yuji Itadori de Jujutsu Kaisen and Tanjiro Kamado of Demon tube. Naruto compares himself well to these two heroes, but things are different with the monkey D. Luffy de One piece fame. These two Stars Shonen even hit most of the levels, but Luffy has a few key ways. To start, it is a fun Himbo without counting too much on the value of the gross shock or the apitation on oneself.
Luffy is refreshing and simple as a hero of action which likes freedom which is gradually developing in its role as symbol of hope for all those who suffer from oppression or abuse. The story even dropped the clues of how Luffy was the next Joy Boy until Luffy officials him with his transformation into equipment 5. In addition, it is impressive to see how Luffy invented his own combat style to the gears and refined his haki, all without counting on half of the powers to get there.
Uryu Ishida overcome her own prejudices to embrace the power of friendship
Uryu Ishida of Bleach The anime often surpasses Ichigo Kurosaki himself as a person who has gone from trauma and past shortcuts to become a really kind hero who inspires others. As a proud quincy who lost his grandfather because of the Renapers, Uryu could have lost himself in favor of his bitter rivalry with Ichigo and even become a villain, but the heart of Uryu was stronger than that. He overcome all his prejudices, rejecting the old tribal quarrel to embrace the power of friendship.
This power of friendship even saw Uryu reject the Quincy Empire to support his friends instead, which says a lot – and Uryu looked cool by doing so. As for his personality, Uryu is simply magnetic as a person who tries to be serious and appropriate, while treating an adorable and polished for Orihime while enjoying female hobby without feeling embarrassed or defensive.
The history of the life of the intestines is to overcome trauma
Although the anime heroes don’t have to be extremely complex to be convincing, it certainly helps, and the Furious The franchise makes a good argument for this. In all versions, the guts of the mercenary anti-hero is a richly strata wrestler who is defined by the bloody fight, his painful trauma, his confidence problems, the power of love and friendship, and of course, of revenge. Guts is a very different person, according to whom he is dealing.
Sometimes the guts almost feel like a monster that cares little about others as he fights, making him feel like the fantasy of Slayer, but the character of Guts is more nuanced than that. Regardless of his rage, Guts still cares at the bottom, a rough tsundere which carefully shows his good side when he feels sufficiently safe to do so. This makes him a badass action star with a soft hidden side, while looking incomparably cool with his Berserker armor and his Dragon Malie sword.
Thorfinn learned a painful and deep lesson on the goal of life
Thorfinn Karlsefni is another anti-hero Seinen who has even more depth than Naruto, in part because characters like Thorfinn have been forged in the kind of anxiety that Naruto cannot even imagine. Naruto has already gone through difficult moments, such as being intimidated or not protecting his friendship with Sasuke, but what Thorfinn has endured is even deeper. In Vinland sagaThorfinn could not find the goal of life by first believing that he had nothing.
Thorfinn’s difficult journey was defined by bloody revenge at first, only for him to lose all this, and it was a lesson necessary to show Thorfinn how empty violence is. This message is even deeper in the Viking era, when the fights seem to be the essential solution for everything. Then, when he had nothing, Thorfinn overcome his interior demons alone and inspired the fans when he tried to do the opposite: to build something new. It is easy to destroy, but difficult to build, and that makes all the difference.
Simon passed his sorrow to become a defective leader but inspiring for all
In the GRURN The song Anime, Simon’s arc was much shorter and simpler than that of Naruto in the Naruto Anime, but it actually works in favor of Simon. Simon had a lean and nasty arch who transformed him from a frightened child into a defective but courageous hero, which makes him a more digestible version of Naruto Uzumaki. It took far too much time to find the best side of Naruto, but Simon showed his less than 20 episodes.
In terms of rhythm, it makes Simon stronger than Naruto, and GRURN The song Did not need an infinitely complex story to get there. The ups and downs of Simon’s life are easy to see for him, losing Kamina and Nia to him up like the best hope of humanity against the king in a spiral and the anti -stuering chief. Simon’s love story was stronger than that of Naruto too, a rapid and charming story of the way he met Nia and found real happiness with a girl who was not “supposed” even to be real.
Everything could both glorify and deconstruct the Superman formula
It is not only the Shonen protagonists who can be compared to characters like Naruto, since My university heroSupport actors are also wonderfully deep and significant characters. All could, the symbol of peace, is much more than the aime Superman or the typical shonen mentor, because it glorifies and questions its own archetype. All Might is memorable because it looks like a dazzling and perfect symbol while being defined by vulnerability, hypocrisy and faults.
The muscular form and the oddity of all are practically a lie, even if its victories with them are real, because it is not the real substance of all the arcs of Might. His story concerns an idealistic person who was worthy to exercise great power while lacking the true vision necessary to bring real peace, hence his decision to transmit one for all. Despite all its power and renown, All Might was one of the faults of the Pro Hero system, and no amount of power could change that, it is interesting.
Edward is a scientific martial artist with a humble sequence
Edward Elric de Fullmetal alchemist: Brotherhood Perhaps not as powerful as Naruto Uzumaki, but he compares himself well with this blond ninja with his own cool combat style and his balanced personality. Naruto began to count too much on his overwhelming power to make his way through his problems, while Edward remained focused on intelligent strategies with alchemy, martial arts and science.
On a personal level, Edward is also in competition with Naruto as an arrogant alchemist who has learned difficult lessons on the laws of alchemy and the humble nature of humanity. Regardless of his puffing at the head, Edward is a humble person who is painfully aware of his mistakes and his limits. This helped define his words and actions while fighting the father’s plans, Edward fighting hard knowing how to see the best of others, even former enemies like Scar and Greed.
Light is a complex anti-hero that has lost its way
Light Yagami The Dark Genius has turned the whole Shonen formula with his adventures as a dark crime in a dark crime Death threat. Light rejected the Shonen Power completely to focus less on its strength and more on its twisted ideals, its brilliant spirit and its moral blur. All this has made light one of the most memorable shonen stars of all time, and even today, fans cannot easily get along on good or bad light.
Light also chewed the landscape even when he did not write in the death note, with his skills as a lively actor and his strangely misleading personality giving him a powerful presence. Heroes like Naruto tend to show the people they are, but the light rarely makes it, which makes him disturbing and complex like a being who is light Yagami, lights the friend and lights the monster at a time.
Frieren is both a figure of mother and daughter, in a way
While Friren The Elf shares the concept of Naruto to be a powerful action star to save the day with force, Friren is a remarkably different person from Naruto to most of the others, which is concerned. The biggest draw to his character Freeze: Beyond Journey’s End This is how Friren tries to slow down and enhance human life around her, who resonates with any anime fan who can realize that they have held everyone for granted.
In a fun way, the freezing of the personality Sometimes Reflects her status as OP heroes, but other times, she completely deconstructs this idea. This pure contrast is more entertaining than everything in the personality of Naruto, Frieren being a wise mentor for Fern while being Fern’s sister in a way. The fern is mature for its age, while Friren is surprisingly sloppy, so the two have a mother-daughter link that goes in both directions. It is both funny and touching to see, and helps to make fry less a mega-wizard from a distance without peers.
Anya is a remarkably complex and multiple facets young heroes
Even a young person like Anya Forger Spy x Family Can be compared to a well -established shonen icon like Naruto Uzumaki when fans focus on more than power levels or epic fights. Naruto has stunned shonen fans with his powerful Jinchuriki forms and powers, but once the initial excitement has dissipated, fans are found with another hero of action that no longer feels that. Anya, however, is friendly at every moment of her bow.
Anya is a real outsider who comes from nothing until her reception parents gave him another chance, and Anya takes advantage of it both as a student and wanting to be a spy hero. Anya is entertaining, cute and remarkably difficult in the two avenues, trying to overcome her academic weakness to please her father and do something for herself. When disasters strike Anya, Anya is incredibly courageous and creative in a way that has even shocked Loid, so Pound For Pound, Anya is a much more valid action advance than Naruto.
