Honestly, nanami is one of my favorite mentors. He feels like the mentor that's not trying to get you to become this perfect, best warrior you can, but more of a mentor that trying to keep you alive and help you keep your morals straight

yeah, he is like a university prof that says "forget all that crap you've been told before, i will teach you real life"

Some good mentors I have seen: Kamina from TTGL: He was the Reigen to Shimon's Mob, helping Shimon grow as a person and discover his true potential. Ash Ketchum: Yup, he was a mentor to May, Dawn and Serena and, to a lesser extend, to Iris as well and he did a good job. Ryozanpaku (from Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple) in general: Kenichi couldn't have become who he is by the end of the manga without the guidance of all his mentors from Ryozanpaku, yet, they also were taught a lot from him as well. Genkai from Yu Yu Hakusho: I can easily believe that both her and Roshi were the blueprints for a lot of mentors in fiction as a whole.

I'm honestly surprised you didn't talk about genkai from Yu Yu Hakusho. Genkai is a phenomenal mentor for a multitude of reasons but my favorite being from the understanding she and yusuke share within their relationship.

@mitakamoder Ай бұрын

My personal favorite mentor and second favorite fictional character period has to be Kamina from Gurren Lagan. At no point in the series is his presence not felt because of how many characters he affects (most obviously Simon but he also effects other characters such as losing to him being the start of Viral's Arc or how her feelings for him are part of Yoko's character to name a few) how these characters reflect his ideals and how his ideals represent the themes of the story all well not undermining the agency or importance of other characters. Even other great mentor characters don't have this level of relevancy to the overall story especially considering how little time we actually get with Kamina. Sure Reigan's great but he is there for all of Mob Psycho, Kamina's only there for about a third of the series.

@BardockSkywalker Ай бұрын

I'd argue that aspects 5 & 6 are the most important Something i like in stories is having older characters growing into better people, even when they think that's not possible anymore Not only that, when you show that your mentor has faults & needs to grow just like their students, it shows how human they are, but it also shows that despite those faults, they don't make them any lesser as teachers

@bubbon1573 Ай бұрын

We NEED a video on how Goku isn't a bad father, since people love to shit on Goku for being a shitty father when he isn't in the slightest. Super DID sorta ruin that but we don't talk about that.

@standardraven2631 Ай бұрын

Super only plays it for laughs anyway, doesn’t mean it’s his actual character (not helping the alligations)

@Calamity_Insurance Ай бұрын

I wouldn’t say he was a bad father, but not a good one either. I’d honestly say that he simply wasn’t a “father”. It’s not that he mistreated or didn’t care about his children, it’s more so that he didn’t think of them as any different than his friends. He trained Gohan, not because he was his son, but because he had the most potential. He views everyone he cares about as equal, so by comparison, his family seems less, because familiy is supposed to be the most important.

To be honest if you read Naruto, Jiraiya should be also on the list because it's emotionally developed the mc and not just in strength. And also he's pretty much compare a lot with Roshi.
