CATDOLL: Are all the protagonists of hot-blooded youth comics naive? Just don't be stupid in battle.

Boys' manga can be said to be the most important theme in Japanese anime. Works such as "Dragon Ball" and "One Piece" that are known all over the world are classics of boys' manga. I don't know if you have noticed that the protagonists of these super popular boys' manga seem to be a bit innocent, always doing some reckless and funny things without thinking. So will boys' manga with more innocent protagonists be more popular? Many netizens have also started a discussion on this issue.

Netizens’ opinions: It feels like Goku, Luffy, and Naruto all take the natural fool route, but this makes people feel full of energy and vitality.

Netizens' opinions: It's called great wisdom but appearing foolish, not stupid. This simple setting can resonate with readers.

Netizens’ opinions: Kenshin is usually a bit of an idiot, but when it comes to serious fighting, his eyes become sharp, which is quite cute in contrast.

Netizens’ opinions: Light Yagami in “Death Note” was initially a chuunibyou idiot who said things like “I want to become the god of the new world”.

Netizens’ opinions: If the setting is too clever, the protagonists will not be allowed to do such passionate and impulsive things.

Netizens’ opinions: Like Gon in “Hunter x Hunter”, he looks innocent, but he is smart in battle. In fact, he can be sinister at times.

Netizens' opinions: If the protagonist is a little dumb, it will be easier to unfold the plot. For example, the protagonist of "Ulong Police Station" knows a lot of trivia but still makes jokes. It's more fun.

Netizens’ opinions: Everyone in the JOJO family is not stupid, right?

The first generation of JOJO Jonathan → Archaeologist

The second generation of JOJO Joseph → Mechanical expert, magician, real estate tycoon

The second generation of JOJO Jotaro → smart, good skills, oceanographer

Only when the author is a powerful person can he create powerful characters. If the protagonist is too powerful, how can he create more powerful enemies? This is not a comedy.

Netizens’ opinion: It would be fine as long as these protagonists aren’t fools when fighting.

Netizen's opinion: Think about it, some readers of JUMP are elementary school students or younger, so of course it has to meet the readers' IQ level. If the protagonist knows too much and never makes a fool of himself, it won't be fun. In addition, the protagonist of a shonen manga can grow up. If he is a little dumb at the beginning and grows up, it will be more eye-catching. For example, Naruto was really stupid in the early stage of "Naruto", but his IQ has improved in the later stage. Although Luffy in "One Piece" is naturally cute, he is not careless at all when fighting.

In fact, it seems that people like hot-blooded youth comics, in addition to the exciting fighting, they also like the carefree and non-scheming characters in them. In such works, those who are just for fun to watch, on the contrary, those who are very scheming are generally villains. What do you think about this issue? Let's discuss it together.
