Is It Illegal?

Is It Illegal to have the Villains win in shounen Manga or something?
has it ever happened?
Think If Kaguya Won the war wouldnt that be a plot twist
Kishi shoud have told all his editors to take the week off cause theres going to be no chapter, and then go and write bullcrap...

 

[Lariatoo]

Never saw on a Shounen Manga tbh...

 

[Ansatsuken]

The manga will continue until that villain is finally defeat

And no, its not illegal.

 

[Xlad]

No, it's not. But it wouldn't really fit for the demographics Shonen aims for. That will be considered a Seinen-type then.

 

[Venomous Cobra]

It depends on how you define "evil"

 

[Shruikan]

Not really but since the manga is aimed at teenagers the good side has to win as a unwritten rule

 

[UchihaGodMadara]

well actually im gonna rephrase this i didnt mean win i meant if there was a more of a neutral ending like Sasuke And Naruto End Up dying while defeating Kaguya

 

[ultraChalk]

No.

Which is why Wolfs Rain is such an awesome anime.

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

If the main character is a villain then no, it's allowed. Shonen are targeted to a huge audience but it's main audience is roughly 12. I think the term Shonen means boy. My point is that having the villain win normally means death and failure for the good guy which is a message that Shonen Jump and other magazines probably would not like to send. Which is pretty understandable.

To answer your question it's not illegal but that's probably not the kind of thing shonen magazines would like to have. I'm sure there might be at least one that's like that though.

And then they die afterward.

It can happen as long their villains die also.

Yhwach will be the first Villain to win.​

 

[Sir Blades]

That would be pretty cool.
Any manga where the villain wins?

It's a kid's magazine so, like with much of kid's media in the U.S. they might have their own rules for how conflicts are carried out and resolved. For example, in the U.S. no usage of drugs or guns by any character in a comic was allowed unless they were used by a badguy and only as long as the badguy was defeated and punished by the end. I'm pretty sure that for its target audience Shonen Jump has to have conflicts settled in a positive way. For anything else, the publisher has other magazines for that.

 

[YoDiggetySam]

For once I wish bad guys would win

 

[CM Punk]

It's not illegal for a heel to win the match, no. In fact, it happens pretty often. Heels usually generate hatred for themselves by taking out some of the more beloved Faces, making the audience really want to see them get taken down. It's just another part of the business.

Actually, there is one where the evil wins, called as "Devilman". It is a horror shonen fight manga and the ending was disgusting to me.

 

[synkross]

well, ur saying this now but if the villains started winning u won't like it......just read Berserk, The sh*tiest universe for a hero. And i'm just desperately waiting for the day when Guts put the fking godhand's heads on the top of DragonSlayer....
And He is pretty much alone against the entire Demon world.....ye the odds can't be worse

 

[DMT]

In vagabond, villains always win

**** , even the protagonist himself is a ****ing villain, killed 70 people for nothing, and takehiko is riding musashi's **** right now
