Main characters count, right?

With a comment like that from the OP, I'll give us three posts until "No True Scotsman" is applied to a show, questioning the validity of a show as "shonen".
Brody Hall
Ya beat me
Colton Jenkins
This.
I believe the true definition is really what the intended demographic or audience is (young boys), but, people usually equate it more to the content of a show-- which is more than likely gonna end up mostly being battle manga.
I could be wrong on some of those, but, my point is that this will be an interesting one.

I'll give you purple but blue did nothing.

She is probably the best pilot in gundam.

Adam Powell
She was pretty based before becoming a retard.
William Allen
Not Shounen
Lucas Perez
But she barely does anything important since the second part of the series and it was her incompetence that got Leomon killed.

She might as well be the most competent female character in the medium.
Angel Collins
>non-support
Didn't she have her partner give up their powers to support Justimon?

She was worthless. In fact she fucking died accomplishing nothing.
That was all due to bad writing
Grayson Sanders
This is shounen.
You all know it.

Samuel Ortiz
Bad writing or not she did all that while super ayys were literally manipulating history on a global scale. Definitely a competent woman.

Justin James
Don't you dare forget about her, you motherfuckers.

Hunter Richardson
What about Allenby?
On the topic of this thread, do Rain and Allenby count? Rain gets kidnapped a lot though is otherwise competent, but her role is literally support, and while Allenby is competent, she's not very prevalent in the show, and most of the time is going Berserk.

Peterhausen could be a female.

Does she count?

Mai is pretty competent.

Fuck off with your Burgerland cartoons.

Reluctantly allowed, but fuck the sequel
Luis Allen
Nice bait. I don't know why you'd want a qt femboi to be a girl.
Charles Campbell
He must be gay.
Levi Murphy
Rika best digiwaifu.
Brandon Foster

Juan Butler
Shana counts, right?
The pink maid and blonde glasses girl were just as competent too.
Charles Cook
Not sure if she counts as 'support' but she's competent usually. Still a bitch, though.

Slayers is seinen.

Doesn't Shana get rekt by boring MC kun who becomes boring villain?
David Edwards
Shounen is a demographic
Action, or battle anime, is a genre
Nathan Gonzalez
Not anymore, now she's just Baba's wife.
Benjamin Wilson
Already addressed in the thread, and non-shounen examples are being called out. Don't be a cunt.
Joshua Flores
How about too competent?
Aiden Walker
Does it count if she's a total Mary-Sue?
Jaxon Hill
Such a shame that it got cancelled
Camden Lewis
Whaaa? It got canceled? That blows. Haven't read it in a while, was hoping to pool up some chapters before I went back to it.

That's not why it doesn't count. It doesn't count because it's the greatest commentary on shounen ever made.
Wyatt Howard
What happened to her and the robot partner? Can't be assed to catch up, just spoiler me.
I think i stopped at the part where the native amerindian loli witch doctor was saying/doing something.
Xavier White
Yeah. Worst of all, Justimon didn't even accomplish shit with it. The only ones who were needed to win the final battle were Saintgalgomon because of the program and Dukemon because he rescued the girl. Sakuyamon and Justimon didn't do shit.
Charles Evans
I actually can't believe I'm the first person posting this.

If Toph's ok then does pre-insanity Azula count?
Carter Hughes

Justin Ramirez
Is she considered support? I seem to remember her being one of the better front-line combatants.
Brandon Hall
I figured that'd be seinen.
Jose Peterson
seinen.
Gabriel Brooks
Sherry and Brago are shounen rivals done right.

I enjoy this show but I don't delude myself.
Isaac Harris
I let my son watch Monster Shirt. He loved it.
Kuvira would be a better choice in pretty much every respect.
She was pretty much the only one.
Christian Adams
Her elf-period makes her into a weak emotional floosey.
Carter Sanders
I can accept Kuvira. But I contest her being better in every respect. Emotionally yes, but to me Azula better represents the Grace Under Pressure-type of character. Even when she was surprised she used her training or ingenuity to overcome it while maintaining that air of a ruler before her fall into insanity. Kuvira to me never really handled surprises all that well, it always showed how flustered she was. Azula was at least able to hide it better, and was never really taken aback too much. I just finished the series a few days ago, and Azula always came off as way too competent.
Cooper Powell
That doesn't make her incompetent.
Azula was extremely talented and competent in a martial sense, but she was never entirely sane. She relied heavily on Mai and Ty Lee to handle anything not combat related.
Liam Evans
Just finished watching Bleach, and, omitting filler, I don't think a single female character wins a 1v1 fight except for for Rukia downing that Espada, and she basically dies doing that. Rukia jobs all the time, Orihime never did anything, Matsumoto is just a titty monster that the bad guys laugh off, hell Sai Fon gets like one kind-of win at Karakura Town. Nel goes flip mode for half an episode then disappears forever mid-fight, Halibel doesn't even put up a W. Like, I'm not looking for MUH STRONK FEMALES but these are warrior women with high spiritual pressure, and every single one loses always. It's just odd.
Jordan Jones
She was certainly competent.
Camden Garcia
That's why I said Kuvira wins emotionally, she didn't have the same flaw or at least to the extent Azula did.
Jordan Thompson
probably the most competent non-cliche shounen girl
Leo Smith
Fuuko is cool
Blake Baker
>Google image search what this is
>get pictures of heart and organ transplants
The fuck? Also ewww.
Elijah Brown
they killed her off too early
Kayden Jones
Yeah Im just gonna rip off my own arm to trick the bad guys. Not a big deal.
Ryan Sanders
Is Illya shounen?
Jackson Gonzalez
Really? /a? I'm disappointed
David Butler
>I have literally no idea what shounen means
Luke Carter
No it's intended for manchildren not actual children.
