>antagonists dies or on the verge>sad backstory that lasts 30 minsWhy hasn't this trope been killed yet?
1) because it's what made Naruto the greatest sorry ever written 2) because Shitmetsu no Yaiba is currently setting box office records
>>282238194>The sad backstory trope is killed>it begins to have a 30 min sad backstory while dying
the sad backstory lays out the entire motif, without it the fight doesn't make sense.
A better question is why do Japanese people think having a sad backstory excuses villains murdering people.
>>282238283Hate to break to you but even the DAs office takes background into account when asking the court for the duration of the sentence it is looking for the criminal to serve.
>>282238272A good fight doesn't need meaning!
>>282238194Watching something other than shonen and this isn't an issue.
>>282238365Spoken like a true brown retard.
>>282238379Shonen is not a genre, this trope transcends demographic.
>>282238283it doesn't excuse them, akaza with his 30 minutes sob story still goes to hell for his sins
