Is he the most sauceless, forgettable protagonist out of all the notable shonens?
>>287965951He wasn’t the protagonist
>>287965951That's not Chainsaw Man.
>>287965951Denji but since you said notable shonens which csm isnt (forgotten trash), then Deku
I don't mind stories where the protagonist is just a vessel for the story, and not the story itself.JJK and Jojo Part 5 come to mind.
>>287965951No he’s my hero he gets shit on one billion times and never gives up in the face of adversity, yes he gets saved but he is quick to listen to his mentors and believe in them.
>>287965951Deku
>>287965951This guy might be entirely reactive but he's got so much grit and personality that I think he sticks out. Yeah he's not a caricature that's easy to latch onto like Nardo but Yuji's very exemplary of the unshakeable human spirit
Is this all there is to shonentards? Comparing shit to piss?
>>287965951yes, he is just sukuna's vessel not an actual character. the archer or the witch bitch have more personality than this lame guy
At least he’s not a crybaby bitch like deku.
>>287965951I liked him cause he seems more competent than the usual shonen protag and actually gets shit done without having to whine, cry and flashback for 2 episodes.
>>287966624>Denji>sauceless and forgettableAt least say Deku or Asta or something.
>>287971711Denji is easily the worst protagonist in manga across all genres and decades
Who is a good protagonist? Naruto? Ichigo? Luffy? Denji? Deku? Tanjiro? They all suck.
>>287965951The ending of JJK is so shitty it actually makes you like Yuji way more. He ends up being the last rivet holding the manga together because he's the most basic WSJ protagonist imaginable and even Gege couldn't fuck it up.

>>287965951Yuji is the best. Ask a male friend to explain it to you.
>>287972688 you stupid nigger, you suck dick for life, your gay, your a faggot, u have no parents, and you loved getting pegged by your mother before she died under my desk.
>>287974448Holy ESL! Do not redeem, SAAR!!
>>287965951yes
even the noncanon sorcerer is a better punch kick merchant
>>287974448/a/verage shonen spic lmao, how's 3rd grade going?
>>287972576you're not cool for hating the popular thing
>>287965951Nah he's cool.
>>287965951Fits the series then
>>287966624>>287972576The envy is apparent
>>287967126Yuji doesn't have any unique personality. He's just the strong, dumb, kind hearted mc that usually never gives up. The only interesting thing about him is the 2-3 times he actually gave up just for someone to come in and say never give up.
>>287981041Cog mentality and giving the godlike antagonist the ultimatum of submitting or dying was fairly non-standard.
>>287982170Taking full responsibility for Sukuna's rampage is great.
>>287967195well-hydrated piss is better than dark piss this is a!!! FACT !!!
>>287981041You don't need to be unique to be good. You just have to be written well. Yuji's interesting because of execution. Simple as. It is made a point that he doesn't have aspirations of grandeur. He wants to live his life and is going to be a cog in the machine if it means finding fulfillment and getting the job done. But these roles were all messy ones because he's just a kid learning from his mentors. That's why he gives up occasionally. He hadn't made those ideals his own yet. His maturity only comes at the end of the story when he finds his own answers, different from those of his elders and it leaves Sukuna stumped in the best possible way.My real gripe is that his apotheosis is rushed. Like just about everything else about the ending.
>>287965951Jujutusu kaisen characters are literally as shallow as it gets. I cringe hard any time anyone tries to pretend they care about them.
^^^obvious bait is obvious
>>287965951That's not Rudeus whose name i had to Google because how forgettable he is
>>287982867I think the execution was terrible. Yuji reaches that conclusion completely out of nowhere and for no reason, because in the last scene he had with Sukuna before the domain, he was just trying to kill him, nothing happened that would cause him to think differently.But my biggest gripe is that nothing he does is interesting, and when it can be it's always undercut. In most fights he always gets outshined by whoever he's with, his whole cog mentality doesn't mean much because he has so little plot relevance past the beginning of the culling games, and when he gives Sukuna the ultimatum it means nothing because he had to get saved by an ass pull. It's so hard to care about the little bit if character he has, and his generic personality makes it worse.
>>287983752Gege simply refused to develop Yuji because he hates him, he is based on his chad brother so he personally sabotaged him to help Yuta (his original mc) popularity
>>287981041He is better than the boring Yuta Stu
