Perfect Hero

[Silver_Fox]

I was review City Hunter minutes ago. It makes me remember about this matter, perfect hero, yup! Some of the Japanese manga/anime (especially the older one) is suffer from this syndrome, for example Ryo Saeba, Captain Tsubasa, Kenshiro and some more (but i can't remember them). Nothing wrong with perfect hero actually, they are the best, they do something and they win the day and take all glory! A hero like them is used by the author to give reader inspiration and confident.

But as time goes by this kind of hero become boring and thus born unperfect hero, even a whim like Ikari Shinji, Hideo Suzuki or the one who not hesitate doing un-appropriate thing like Mugen. And since then main character become more colorful to read/watch. This kind of hero actually send a message to their reader that they can become a hero evem if they are not perfect!

What kind of hero you prefer?

The second one has a lot more room for a good story writing and development so that easily.

I personally prefer that of an underdog rising to become the hero...makes for a good story

True, their unsecurities or how they deal with their flaw can be a good potential for story development, but some author also overused it

This is kind of why like One Punch Man, the main guy could have been all the round perfect but he is pretty flawed besides his one hit punches.

Yeah I only watched one episode of this but he was pretty pathetic at first...his heart was in the right place though

Did he literally end a fight with just one punch?

I guess the difference is that people like Goku, Tsubasa, Kenshiro are also characters from manga that are decades old. Granted Goku is an outlier he is a kid, and Tsubasa is a different case. But after DB most main characters from manga were teenagers. Be it Yusuke or Naruto or Luffy. 
Personally I like both the kinds, the ones that are out and out powerful from the start and are flamboyant and confident, like Luffy and Meliodas, and the underdogs like Naruto and Hinata.
But the problem is when it comes to "wimpy" characters, like Midoriya or Shinji. Authors need to be careful to not make characters like that annoying and fortunately these two didn't annoy me. Similar characters from other anime did though(like the protagonist of Deadman Wonderland).
But the most you can get out of a character when it comes to writing is when he/she is flawed, like Mugen and that usually happens when it's an adult character, not something you often see in anime. Like say Saitama from One Punch Man.
