(OF THE MC’S GENERATION OR NEAR GENERATION)

To me, it's redundant how by the end of shonen manga/anime, the MC is the strongest character.

This thread is to give appreciation for shonen manga/anime that make the strongest good character not the MC.

Gamaran: Gama hadn't surpassed Iori and never will.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn: Tsuna hadn't surpassed Hibari and never will.

I think this applies to My Hero Academia, too. Todoroki > MC Midoriya, and it will likely stay that way until the end. Midoriya's not gonna become as strong as prime All Might, but Todoroki will surpass Endeavor.

What about Fairy Tail? I used to be a fan. Has Natsu surpassed Laxus? If not, will he eventually?

I think Natsu surpassed Laxus with the power of friendship.

But I'm not knowledgeable in FT's power level to confirm that assumption. Just guessing based on the last few fights.

Natsu surpassed Laxus, yes. The last arc pretty much confirmed this.

I figured he did, but I wasn't sure.

The last Arc of Fairy Tail was all over the place in terms of power scale.

Remember Erza destroying that meteor with all of her bones broken :lmao:

@bold please kill me.. I was trying to forget that. Irene casually used jellal's strongest spell, actually it was even more powerful than jellal's spell, and Erza in her weakest state ever destroys it with a single sword.

It's Natsu and Lucy.

I think Lucy is the actual MC tho. Ala Naruto to Natsu's Sasuke. Since it's following her story and she's basically telling it and all. Or probably similar to black clover(Asta/Yuno).

OT Tsuna did surpass Hibari tho.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yes. That many "HA"s is necessary for your statement. Have you even read the manga? I have, like 4 times now. Hibari is way out of Tsuna's league throughout the whole story, beginning to end :lmao:

Now you’re just trolling.

The Cloud Guardian is always #1 and the Sky Guardian is #2. That’s why Cloud Guardians work independently from his fellow Guardians. Because they’re strong enough to work alone

Yea Lucy MC. She's telling her story from her POV. But she a fodder.

That's like saying mist are stronger because they also do their own thing and even try killing the leader.

Do you think Natsu is a good MC?

Not really. Fairy tail wise Erza is basically MC lol she literally damn near became the strongest in the series due to Mashima fanboying her.

This is in the wrong section, but Yeah I hope Midoriya becomes the strongest, I'm all for breaking usual shonen cliche's but one of the things I like about Midoriya is that he really is starting from the bottom

SAME.

I dropped it after the Natsu and Gray BS. I picked it up again only to be disappointed, and then I dropped it 100%.

I only came in one last time to read the final chapter and to laugh at the pairing fan's :lol

Man that Natsu vs Gray was such BS. No full demon form for either of them. And somehow Erza come out of no where and block their attacks like it was nothing and they stop fighting. Then Lucy somehow able to overwrite the book of END.
