CATDOLL: Is Shirou Emiya a dragon? Netizens complain that he is annoying for fighting for strangers

There is often a type of protagonist in Japanese anime works, that is, "the protagonist who is willing to risk his life for someone he just met", and typical representatives are Shirou Emiya in "FATE" and Kamijou Touma in "A Certain Magical Index". Recently, a Japanese netizen said that such a protagonist is actually a kind of "Dragon Aotian" and felt that this kind of evaluation was very annoying, and netizens also expressed their agreement.

What do you think of people like Kamijou Touma or Emiya Shirou who risk their lives for people they don't know? When I was in middle school, I thought it was a very arrogant attitude. But now I think about it and feel disgusted.

I don't think it's a big deal. It's just a manifestation of egocentrism. And although such characters always claim to be "very ordinary", they actually have the ability to turn the situation around. So it's not strange to risk their lives for strangers.

This kind of work is meant for middle school students. On the positive side, it can give people a sense of "knowing how to work hard for others". But on the negative side, if you do this in real life, it's easy to give others the impression that "you are sick"...

After all, the people being helped are all girls, so it's not strange. Since ancient times, there has been a routine of heroes saving beauties, so why use Touma and Shirou to take the blame? Of course, it's also quite unpleasant to see this... It's rare to see someone risking their life for a man.

Shirou did this because of his dark history, so it's understandable. As for Touma, I don't understand at all. If I lost my previous memories, it would be hard to just survive every day, but he can still help girls casually. Anyway, this is something these capable people can do, so I forget it.

After all, if there is someone standing right in front of you facing life and death, it is impossible for the protagonist to turn a blind eye, right? Therefore, this is not the character's fault, but the plot's fault.

In fact, just like what netizens said, this is a fixed routine of general works. Many works will use this setting to unfold the story. It is indeed boring to watch too much, but I always feel that Shirou Emiya does not belong to this category. His persistence comes from his tragic childhood experience and the influence of his adoptive father Kiritsugu Emiya. What do you think of this protagonist setting? Let's discuss it.
