Character Discussion How important is strength when it comes to picking Favorite Characters?
- Thread starter pg13
- Start date
Think about your favorite characters but take away their strength, are they still your favorite? Depending on who you like this could be an easy question to answer but they're certain characters who are who they are because of their strength.

Good for you, now stop participating in power level discussions, if you get the urge to check the posts, don't do it.
Not all of them, there are quite some people who are not wholly into powerscaling shit and char strength is not as important for them but yes there are a lot of people full of Cap. Look at their takes in power level related discussions and their participation in those discussions and then tell me they do not care so much about power level. Or maybe these are just fans of weaker characters and have decided to be content with getting the short end of the stick. They thought that their fave would be one of the strongest guys and then it turns out that that may not come to happen and instead of abandoning the char they just chose to appreciate other things and lowered their expectations.
Yeah my problem with both Ichigo and Naruto is this, they lost their character which initially was good (at least for me) as the series went on. I thought Ichigo was going to be one of the smart MCs but it never felt that way. Young Naruto was good but then it felt shit.

It's funny
Most of my favourites characters are related with strenghtwise like zoro guts or kenpachi though i've never like characters because of this
One piece may be the only manga(for me)where character wise is more interesting than strenght wise nami and tashigi are between my favourites and one arc zombie bear is my favourite character

Very important. Helps establish superiority and relevance in a Shonen battle manga where the main discussion is duh battle.
That’s why most of my favorite characters have to be top tier. It’s the only way for Oda to keep them relevant. I will say this is true for majority of users here too whether they want to admit or not.
After that they need to get into character flesh-out territory. Personality also helps too. I like serious characters but I also like fun characters that don’t get wanked to Jesus levels like Goofy.

Somewhat important. If we're talking about character strength, it might either be physical strength, or strength of character that usually draws fans in.
In shounen/action physical strength is usually more important than usual, because strong characters get more and cooler moments.
E.g. I'm reading currently Vagabond, and Musashi's journey and his internal struggles are more interesting to read compared to Matahachi's whining "oh I'm so useless" "oh I should've" "I will do something great!" and then he does nothing or something shitty.
