One punch man resolved the problem by introducing strongest character in the world as a main character

[@JackgarPrime]

It works really well in Mob Psycho 100, too. Since he's basically the strongest esper ever, if he actually cared about that, he'd have already reached his goal. In fact, it IS the goal of a number of other characters in the series. But he doesn't. His goal is much more mundane, and even though he's reached a level of power that most protagonists would spend years clawing towards, it isn't what he wants. So instead his goal is become a more well-rounded person, and finally ask the girl he likes out.

[@inaliann]

For this reason, OPM is so refreshing for me. No power levels, no secret attacks, no bullshit. Saitama is the strongest and that's it.

This youtuber only takes popular Shonen and not use the shonen out currently. My Hero Academia being the only one they can reference shows either laziness or ignorance. There is Black Cover...theres Promised Neverlands. Infact why the Kuroko No Basketball Remark was nitpicky. Bleach, Naruto, are over. Plus they aren't the only god damn shonen out. Trust me it's really annoying knowing "The Promised Neverlands" is a shonen and it's nothing like what is being described. It's annoying when you watched "Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple" and you get this shit. Watch when The Promised Neverland blows up people will call it a deconstruction of Shonen or some sh*t...like was done to HXH. These Anime KZbinrs are pretentious and these type of videos are poorly done in terms of talking points. Hunter X Hunter FMA,though I don't consider it a shonen Black clover, the promised everlands Berserk World Trigger One Piece Tokyo Ghoul Noragami, another anime I dont consider a shonen... Gintama Black Butler, though this anime seems like it's mostly meant for females and it reallly doesn't feel very shonen to me Samurai Champoo Boku No Hero Academia Owari No seraph Keekai Sensen Pandora Hearts I can name a whole bunch more if I wanted to that don't suffer from this problem.

I think one of my favorite aspects of JoJo is its ability to make all of its villains intimidating and an actual threat even if they're technically "weaker" than the previous villain before them. Yoshikage Kira is way weaker than DIO in terms of raw power and is a normal-ass human instead an immortal vampire , but he was still just as effective of a villain as DIO. JoJo's villains never escalate in power in a direct linear fashion, they just get progressively more unique abilities that make them a different type of threat.

[@mariobros2169]

Yea I like how ( And other anime’s can have similar situations not saying only JoJo) The villain May not be stronger than the previous ones in raw power like Kira compared with Dió or Mr Ultimate Lifeform but in the setting they are it can make others develop their abilities in it. Kira being a “normal” person allowing him to kill anyone without revealing his identity. JoJo sure is cool

[@Modie]

[@roidmango5751]

I think what people fail to realise is that the part system in JoJo isn’t its only reason for avoiding terrible power escalation. It’s the abilities. Stands are so specific in their abilities that any stand can completely destroy another, but that very same stand can also be destroyed by another stand with an ability that counters it. The same goes for My Hero, people don’t give it enough credit for also avoiding power escalation. (Honestly not as effectively as JJBA, but still to some degree.) In the way that quirks work, some just aren’t effective against others. Mina vs Kirishima is cut and dry, he can’t be hurt by her acid. The same goes for someone like Sero and Todoroki, he completely bodied Sero because their quirks were just completely unmatched. In MHA it’s all about playing to your strengths and how to use your quirk most effectively, often avoiding the need to make the villains stronger and stronger every time because of how situational and user-skill based they are. Which allows the villains to still be grounded and interesting without just making them another beef cake that can blow up a few more mountains than the last guy.

While I agree with this overall, I'm not sure that Hero Aca has actually shown off its "Power Ceiling" yet. This is mainly due to the fact that as stated by All Might after punching the villain into the stratosphere that he wasn't anywhere near his "peak". He mentions that in his heyday, it would have taken 5 punches tops to do what took him 300 in that situation. There is also the fact that Deku naturally has a higher ceiling than All Might simply due to the quirk 'One for All'. This is basically a quirk that stores energy over successive generations and all of the previous holders were basically trying to get powerful enough to stop All for One but none of them had the power until All Might's generation.

[@pangypirate]

Iain McDonald's Yeah I agree, also we haven’t seen much of one for all yet and he looks like a seriously OP villain my hope though is that instead of relying on ridiculous power ups like with the case in bleach Deku keeps using his analytical skills, Because he’s not wrong it’s hard to care about shows like Dragonball Z or bleach where there’s no consistent power level, I think Naruto did a decent job but yeah dropping asteroids was pretty ridiculous. I think the reason I don’t mind the power escalations in Naruto as much is because It’s really well explained, they use the will of fire as a reason successive generation is stronger than the last, And even the ridiculous power ups like when Naruto goes full Ninetails makes sense because he is essentially harnessing external power from a demon. But again at the moment it looks like my hero academia will do an even better job at placing power caps and utilizing reasoning over brute strength and we’re even seeing awesome character development

One Piece introduced Hawkeye only after about 50 chapters in, showing him annihilate 50 ships with just a Sword just to kill time. This showed us the immense power gap very early on.

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

It's a dubious power gap if you think about it. Law is on the same rank of the plot devic... I mean, Mihawk. He was able to slash a fucking mountain/half of a island. With his fruit helping him or not, who cares, that is the greatest feat of power a swordsman ever displayed in this series. But its hard to compare with Mihawk because he is a suppose rival of a emperor. I think mihawk, just like crocodile, even Pell to some extent.. They are all mistakes committed by a young and immature Oda. The story was suppose to feature only the emperors, the shishibukai was a last second introduction. Mihawk was suppose to be a emperor, not a shishibukai. That makes more sense with his role as the plot device who inspires Zoro's motivation.

[@Reject3]

Mihawk doesn't have the traits of a captain, a yonko is not a yonko becouse they can 1v3 the admirals(i'm sure they can't) but becouse theyhave powerful and infuental crew. Look at what big mom would be without her crew? 0. While mihawk can probably stand 1v1 against an admiral/yonko (just hold his own, not beat them) but Mihawk is not a leader figure, he is a solo person.

[@irvingzisman6939]

Rafael Teles You try to insult the story by saying Mihawk is a plot device. But if you haven't noticed, every character in their world is a plot device. Somewhere, somehow, they move the story forward. That's why it's so successful. Everything is necessary

[@swallow_skyla3602]

One Piece actually establishes multiple power ceilings in the early episodes: 1. When Mihawk obliterates a fleet of Don Krieg's ships with a single sword swing, This takes place even before Arlong's arc. 2. When the Straw Hats encounter Kuzan (the 1st time) and he freezes an entire ocean with his Ice Age technique 3.

After getting so much stronger, with his gears too, he STILL couldn't get near Smoker in Marineford. That to me, was a definite display of one of the steps to the power ceiling.

[@ilyasbasuki3207]

Another power ceiling is how powerful the Yonkos are. We were told at the beginning that Yonkos are incredibly powerful, and until now, they're still the most powerful characters. It took an entire army plus a high-level pirate crew to take down a sick Whitebeard. Shanks singehandedly stopped the Marineford War by simply being there. Kaido can't even commit suicide. And Big Mom stopped a G4 Luffy, who is exponentially more powerful than he was in his early days, without much effort.

Sebastian in jojo’s bizarre adventure the first 2 parts used hamon which is basically magical martial arts, but Araki realized that the series would soon become too focused on power levels so he switched the main character’s powers to stands. Stands each have a special ability and each have strengths and weaknesses, for example Star Platinum is incredibly strong and fast but can only move about 2-3 meters away from its user Jotaro so it’s only good in close range. Meanwhile a stand like hierophant green is incredibly weak but can move far away from its owner, scout areas, shoot projectiles, create barriers, and control people.

Ichigo's greatest power is plot armor and being a mary sue.

[@FlexStyleZ]

Ichigo is nothing more than a overpowered, bland plot device who bitches whenever he gets his ass handed to him, then unleashes some dormant power he pulled out his ass to defeat the villain.

[@FlexStyleZ]

Spencer Dean No, he's a living plot device with as much personality as plain bread to defeat the villains in the end. There's no need to worry if Ichigo's ever trouble, he'll deus ex machima another powerup whenever the plot demands for it. Ichigo's not even realistic, it's his setting that gives off the illusion he is. He's just another generic, fearless MC who takes everything on his stride because "I want to protect my friends!" You want a realistic teenager, look at Deku or Josuke. Whether he gets his ass beat or not has nothing to do with it. Ichigo is the definition of a Gary Stu and your delusional if you think someone who's a half-fullbringer, half-shinigami, half-hollow with Quincy powers isn't. Judging from your pfp your clearly a Bleach fanboy so I'm not gonna waste my time anymore.

[@dantesmythe6354]

Spencer Dean Here's how Ichigo is a Gary Stu. So from the very start we are told he has a lot of power, and we find out he has hollow powers. Okay makes sense hollows can be pretty strong. Then we find out, wow hes a fullbringer? Well guess that explains the hollow right? And then the author blows his load and rams home with basically saying, "Oh yeah by the way hes a Quincy. Dont question it I'll give a vague explanation for it later.". Other things include, being able to fight a powered up Kenpachi and win (somehow), gains god-like power thanks to Mugetsu (I'll get to that later), and to top it off if his feelings are hurt enough he uses teen angst- I mean hollow powers to beat up the meanies that were clearly stronger then him. Now for Mugetsu and I'll be frank I hate this ability. I mean do you know how big of an ass pull that was!? "Oh damn Getsuga I have to fight Aizen who has godlike powers and fused with his sword, what should I do!?" 'Psh let me try to have a personality for a few seconds, give up, then give you an op power up'. Then Ichigo goes to Aizen now FUSED with his sword and beats up Aizen in a badass manner. The end. This comment is long enough as it is and I dont feel like jacking off every arc with critism.

If fillers are done right, they show the characters' personalities/interactions/power better in hopes to enhance the show better. However, if they get out of hand, it becomes a problem. The newer, popular shounen (stuff from this decade), doesn't have this happen. Shows like OPM, MHA, Mob Psycho 100, Food Wars, etc. don't show fillers/use them in a good way. They're not milking out the shows, which is partly why they're so popular

Art Of Storytelling I'm ded

[@ydp868]

Jojo is a good example of a well written manga/anime that avoids the infinite power inflation problem. It retires characters when they reach the end of their arc and restarts with a fresh set of protagonists, which keeps things interesting without an ever-escalating power level that screws up power balance from older episodes and allows the writer to explore lots of other alternate plotlines. This is possible because the writers were sensible enough to develop the cinematic universe / 'theme' of the overall franchise without relying too much on the personality gimmicks of their protagonists to promote the series. Naruto is trying to emulate the success of Jojo's long running franchise by introducing Boruto as a new 'arc' to the Naruto universe, moving away from the original characters and trying to develop the world around them instead.

[@TruthinessChibiOtaku]

I think Araki just clearly understands that you can't have an overarching plot that stretches for the entire series, because people will eventually want a new storyline in that same universe, so its better to do self-contained arcs with a new cast and plot for each in order to keep things fresh. He also just doesn't seem interested in dwelling on one storyline for a long period of time. No wonder JoJo has lasted 30 years without any dwindle in popularity. I really can't understand why more shonen manga don't do what JJBA does.

[@ilyasbasuki3207]

What I like about JoJo is how some of the main characters don't even get more powerful. Josuke in particular never gets a single powerup but manages to defeat increasingly powerful enemies due to creative uses of his abilities. The main villains also don't really escalate that much. I'd even say that Ultimate Kars is stronger than DIO and DIO is stronger than Kira, which is the opposite of what you'd expect from a shonen.

But what makes it different from your regular "OP ikesei protagonist" is that he came to the entire world with his whole guild. He doesn't start from scratch and is just magically OP. He's got all his gear, all his items, and all the NPCs of his guild. He was also at the max level before he was transported. It's what makes Overlord interesting. That and although Ainz is the protagonist, he's not some genius prodigy, he's just a regular salary man, who is a bumble King. In addition, he's not a 'good guy', he's just the protagonist. As said above, it's also about Ainz dealing with his sense of loneliness. Overlord is the best iteration of "OP Ikesei protagonist" that I know of.

Gigguk is honestly one of the best anime critics on KZbin IMO. He blends the perfect amount of high level analyses and just enough humour to keep from being boring.

Halpher No.

[@arjunnava]

Halpher KZbinrs upload videos containing references which can be understood and relatable to the majority of its audience (Most of us know what direction these anime take). How many of its viewers don't know One Piece or DBZ (even if they've not watched it)? I'm hearing about 'The Promised Neverlands' just now since you mentioned it (thx btw). Its not a top hit anime (vs the former) and would not referenced except per chance or its unique qualities. If every uploader is going to reference every little thing that you or others like, their videos would contain info for days. It'd be like watching a mini series. Easy to mock the uploader but do so after you try to appease the crowd with videos that contain the most value per time.

[@shulamitwhatsittoya6550]

Halpher So: He's generalizing and he doesn't have anything to support his claim aside from the really famous manga series that's more general knowledge. I pretty much agree with your sentiments. At least his solutions were pretty good.

[@trax72]

You talk about flaws in the video, yet fail to demonstrate what these flaws are. Even worse, you bring in stuff that has nothing to do with the topic of this video in an attempt to discredit it. Using more well-known animes to frame his argument is not a flaw, it's a feature - it helps to illustrate his point since more people will be able to understand it this way. Bleach turned to shit and most people agree with this, and One Piece is still going strong for a reason. I used to like DBZ's power scaling at first but got really annoyed with it since it quickly went out of hand. Other animes do a much better job of making this process more gradual. This sounds suspiciously like a "he slammed an anime I like" reaction.

[@rollychairs]

Halpher I don't think he was trying to represent all shonnen, rather just a issue that entraps a lot of good stories, I would go as far to say that this also hurts other types of stories such dramas or romance, although it's a lot more visible in shonnen jump series which run on the idea playing the same bunch of stories till are good and dead ( I'm speaking in general, not specially) Also comparing the story of any of the big shonnen titles with a story like the promised never land is like comparing apples to oranges, as one is a series that's packed to the hundreds in chapters, to a beginning series with less the 50. Although on a off note, I'm a bit worried for the series now that we are out of the orphanage center, as what drew me in was the psychological aspect and all the secret muddling the kids did, and I just don't know if the series will be able keep that going on.
