Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, Deathnote, Hellsing, Gungrave protagonists have almost nothing in common with the ones you've mentioned

Only shounen main characters are the same.
This is the truth...
But even in the shonen genre there are characters that are not that alike! For example, Shaman King must have the most laid-back main character ever! XD Dat Yoh. And there's plenty of other examples...you need to watch/read other stuff man!

Yugi/Yami wasn't any of those. So not all Shonen main protagonists are cut from the same cloth. Most? Yes. But even among Shonen manga, You can find variety. Apart from that, there are a ton of character types among manga and anime main Protagonists That range from Neon Genesis's Cowardly, Half hearted Shinji, To Darker Than Black's Badass Undercover Master Contractor, Hei. You just have to Look around.

Goku luffy naruto ichigo and natsu are not serious
But when there friends are hurt they become crazy and never give up

They all eat much

And they all have something special where are more people from like jinchurikis or saiyans
Goku is a saiyan
Natsu is a dragon slayer
Luffy has the will of D
Ichigo is a vizard
Naruto is a jinchuriki

Wrong....

Ichigo and Naruto have a dark side.

Luffy and Goku do not.

I think Natsu has a dark side.

Virtually many main characters are the same because they have all been taken from Goku.

That is a completely false statement. Try watching different Anime shows and your opinion may change.

Most people have already said it, but

Correction: Some Shounen main characters are very similar.

The sample of characters you've listed is not even a fraction of the diverse world of anime out there. There are obvious similarities because of the genre and storytelling style, but even then they're not all the same in terms of development and experience within their different worlds.

I'd be hard pressed to determine how Lelouch (Code Geass), Okabe (Steins;Gate), Simon (Gurren Lagann), and Tomoya (Clannad) are at all similar aside from being awesome male protagonists. Four main characters from my favorite series, all of which are fundamentally different and hardly comparable.
