This is who you think the best shounen manga character is. Now for those who don't know what the heck shounen manga is, it's mainly targeted towards young men/boys. usually aged between 12 and 18. It literally means "Boy comic". or you know anything from shounen jump. Basically anything from shounen jump.
Now there are lots and i mean LOTS of characters with in shounen manga and manga in general really. But who do YOU!!!!!!!!!!! think is the best? Not OP but the best written and well rounded character of them all?
Personally i think the best shounen manga character or at least one of them would be Moritaka Mashiro of Bakuman. He's the average everyday kid who loves to draw and loves manga and anime. He struggles allot to make his dreams come true and goes through many ups and downs through out the series. He and his partner take their hardships in stride and try their best to become the number one mangaka in shounen jump! This is one character who i really like and think is good anyways. Who do you guys think is the best? Also just saying... pokemon, zelda, mario, all shounen manga too.

overrated. nah i'm just kidding. he is cool. and i feel bad for him as far as dbz main characeters that matter go. Bro, he is the second strongest Saiyan ever, lands the (and I can't believe I am saying this. I feel dirty before I even type it) hottest chick in the show in Bulma, who is loaded btw, and spawns one hell of a kid. Not to mention, he doesn't die as often as Goku, is a viral sensation, and, at least for the American dub, has an awesome voice. Dude ain't got a bad life. Oh yeah, and he's fucking royalty. If you should feel bad about anyone in DBZ, well hell, there's a bunch. Yamcha, a pretty boy who has his woman stolen away by Vageta. "De Tuk er gal" and dies way more than necessary Krillin, who literally could never step out of the shadow of Goku, fell in love with a robot, and dies way more than necessary Picolo, who, let's be honest, is Gohan's step father. Chi-Chi, a single mother who has an absent husband, a disruly child, and is surrounded by those who do not take their studies seriously. Hercule, a once strong fighter who is clearly suffering from delusions Android 18, once a fearsome robot, was brought back to life, only to be stuck for eternity with a little person. Talk about the short end of the stick. Tien, a character who was way more interesting and deserved way more than four episodes of filler between major sagas. Dr. Gero, a brilliant scientist, perhaps the most brilliant of his time, but will always be remembered by his forced servitude to the Red Ribbon Army and his creations of murderous characters. Master Roshi, Dude was jacked, owned a hover car, beach house, had a talking pet pig, a talking pet sea turtle, was a kung fu master, and still couldn't get laid. Feel sorry for those dudes before you mourn Vageta. At least Vageta had glory. What did Yamcha have? Seven Funerals

True my friend. But there are far more worse off than the Prince of Saiyans And just curious, I remember watching a show on Toonami when I was a kid. It was on right after DBZ and Gundam Wing called Tenchi Muyo. Does that fall into this category?

A) GT doesn't count. B) Vegeta, Roshi, and Hercule get much improved in Super so don't feel bad. C) Android 18 is a CYBORG and is still mostly human hence the ability to reproduce. And her and Krillin have the best relationship in the show so ... those two are the best, leave them alone.

GT totally counts! as an alternate time line kida... thing... IT COUNTED BEFORE SUPER ANYWAY! *he says as he pours tears over his box set of DBGT* I thought 18 was all woman and all human now. and yeah her and kirllin have the best relationship in the whole series. even better then videl and gohan.

Nope they just had the bombs removed from the chests of both cyborgs. It's why in SUper they are still useful, infinite energy engines running them. They don't fatigue in terms of power, just stamina.
EDIT: And no ... GT exists to watch how not to handle some admittedly good ideas in a dragon ball series. The only thing that was executed well and is still cool is SS4. Baby and the Shadow Dragons could have been amazing, touring the galaxy could have been amazing. Instead ... they Yamcha'd the execution.
Bo Para Para Bo Para *puke*
