Why are almost all battle shonen protagonists annoying crybabies...

Why are almost all battle shonen protagonists annoying crybabies? Are shonen authors just incapable of writing a nuanced main character that doesn't rely on pre-established shonen cliches?

Kenshiro was a loser crybaby as well. Only Goku wasn't like this

Goku is the face of Shonen for a reason.

Stop reading manga for children if you want good writing.

trends.
many MCs used to be unable to cry almost, so someone 'subverted' that by making an MC that cried alot. like all things, it was successful just for being different, and then everyone started copying that.
sooner or later someone will try to 'subvert' that and a new trend will happen. probably just as shitty as the last trends were.

Yuji almost never cries, this time it was because he thought he killed thousands of innocent people due to negligence and was thinking about killing himself so it never happened again

Tanjirou and Yuji aren't crybabies.

>i've never read JJK, how could you tell?

>shonenshitters come out of their holes

Fujimoto showcasing again why he's the best shonen mangaka alive right now

You said something that was objectively wrong, people are correcting you, what the fuck are you talking about?

Funny you say that, when Denji is the most pathetic cuck Ive seen in recent mainstream manga.

>many MCs used to be unable to cry almost
This was never the case even in the 80s. Most male MCs were just regular schoolboys which has been taken to the extreme with some modern examples

>Nooo why are people telling me the truth
They aren't crybabies.

Yuji isn't a crybaby, he's one of the most if not the most resilient character in modern shonen. I think him being still sane and not a completely broken shell of a human being after all the shit the author has put him through is bad writing at this point

Tanjiro has a real reason to cry and cries only when it's important
Yuji sucks ass as an MC and I love seeing him suffering like you wouldn't believe, but he's not a crybaby either
Deku cries so much he makes crying meaningless

fucking BASED OP thanks for expanding on my original image

Tanjiro cries like 4 times and they are all for perfectly fine reasons. By this logic, put Goku and Gohan there or just any MC that has ever shed a fucking tear.

> being sexually frustrated = le BAD!!!
jjk underages lose again, imagine having a sex drive being considered a bad thing

The reason why he's so resilient is because he's too stupid to understand anything, form his "Ideals" to his enemies. Even nanami in his last moments treated him like an idiot and covered his ass.
He's completely broken now btw

That looks insanely pathetic, what the fuck

It's less about him saying that, and more about the way it's presented. Not to mention that this retard had the opportunity to plow that one chick with the eyepathc, but for some weird plot covenience he wasn't allowed to. Literally kneeling in front of some guy whom he only met like twice or so while saying that cringy shit. But I guess, muh openly bragging about SEX makes the teenagers go all "OMG HE IS SO RELATABLE"

bragging? what the fuck, you fuckers are so damn dumb lol
denji has an IMMENSE sex drive and he's hasn't been able to FUCK makima so he's shedding tears of sexual frustration, 10000x better than "heeerppp derrpp.... ppl le died... waaaahhh xp"

I wish we could get more confident and cocky protagonists like Ichigo and Souma. Naruto really was a mistake.

>insanely pathetic
Describes this garbage MC quite well desu. Don't know how we went from this guy to that ADHD spaz.

Ichigo cries as well. Put him in the collage instantly.

Imagine thinking a teenager crying because he has no sex and admitting it to the public is better than someone crying because someone died. This is the peak of cringe

If you want to blame any character blame fucking Shinji

The absolute state of modern manga industry

>He's completely broken now btw
Nah, he's still going. He fell for the COGGED meme and now he's deflecting responsibility into the system. When he kills himself (which is been implied several times he'll try to and maybe succeed) you'll now he's truly broken

Bragging was the wrong here I admit, initially wanted to say something along the lines of "vociferously screeching about something as petty as this in front of someone who you barely know"

wrong word*

>Tanjiro's entire family killed
>Yare yare daze hmm yes I won't cry
>Walks away with a stoic face

>Yuji's best friend got turned to a monster
>Well, can't be helped
>walks away with a stoic face

Wow, surely removing emotions improves the character a lot

>10000x better than "heeerppp derrpp.... ppl le died... waaaahhh xp"
Definitely not. This shows at least empathy and compassion. Denjicuck however has snot and tears coming out of his eyes over something as mundane as that shit. You can't get more pathetic than this. But I get that you just wanted to bait anons with that OP, so congrats I guess.

I don't think that image was when Tanjiro's family got killed but yeah your point stands regardless.

>Yuji's best friend got turned to a monster
>Also fucking died in his arms while lamenting his existence and bad choices
>Got laughed at by the two villains while all of that was happening
Funny thing ypu mention this since he didn't cry when that happened. The only place were I can remember him actually crying was when his actions lead to a mass murder happening and got temporarily mindbroken

>crying bad
Don't you have a father to beat you up?

I'm not going to be the one defending JJK, but Yuji is the complete opposite of a crybaby

This is based though

A MC that only skill is being a bitch isn't a good thing but that shouldn't mean that showing any sort of negative emotions is a bad thing like that Chainsoyfag is trying to say
