>Every character has a random unique abilityWhich manga started this meme?
>>281917588dunno which one specifically but I know it was a 70's sports manga
>>281917588must have been a delinquent manga dunno which
>>281917588I looked at a list of "super power" anime by year on some website and while Jojo (1986) is one of the oldest it's edged out by Saint Seiya (1985) and Kinnikuman (1979). This pic is newest on top and older on bottom fyi
>>281917588this "meme" probably started before humanity even started building cities
>>281918083forgot image
>>281918083Thinking about it it's got to be Kinnikuman, since it originally parodied western superhero comics.
>>281917588X-Men
>>281918149Nah, it's Ultraman parody, but even then Ultraman also counts as every enemy having its own unique ability, then we go back through serialized dramas, superhero comics, ancient myths, then we end up talking about how this trend started with the dinosaurs.
>>281918241>the odyssey>every god is the god of war, song, whateverhmmm
>>281918341Odysseus faces a new challenge from all sorts of strange beasts, divine wrath, and vengeful sorceresses on his journey back home, that's just Stardust Crusaders.
>>281918417>Every manga is just the Odysseythose hack frauds
>>281918149Is being British and putting people in an argentine backbreaker considered a unique ability? If not, then I'd say Kinnikuman doesn't quite reach that point until the devil choujin.
>>281918762having a signature technique nobody else has counts
>>281918441Every manga is actually journey to the west, but I wont expect westerns to know that
