Whenever a Shonen anime/manga just ends the main character has a kid.
Dragon Ball: Goku and Chi chi had Gohan. Dragon Ball Z: Gohan and Videl had Pan. FullMetal Alchemist: Edward and Winry had two kids. Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure: Every Joestar has a kid that produced another kid to become the main character for that arc. Naruto: Naruto and Hinata had Boruto and Himawari. And the most recently ended Bleach: Ichigo and Orihime had a kid.
Seriously who started this trend? Are we to expect Luffy, Erin, and Natsu to have a kid when their stories end?

>long-running series often end with epilogues showing characters' kids Wow, you're really slow on the fucking uptake.
Josiah Cruz
They have to get that birthrate up
Kevin Wilson
>Dragon Ball: Goku and Chi chi had Gohan.
You just answered your own question.
Thomas Adams
At least that won't happen with HxH, if it ever ends.
Eli Ortiz
Yes Luffy will have a kid with Hancock
Angel Carter
>Gon and Kilua has a duaghter, she has Gon's hair just in white.
Andrew Nguyen

Zachary Brooks
I'm dying waiting for souma and erina's kid.
Nolan Richardson

Leo Hughes
He already has two kids
Joseph Turner
>tfw when he orders a parfait and then walks off into the sunset shirking all responsibility
Bentley Richardson
Actually he lost me on that one.
Evan Taylor
Will he be a sweetie?
Nolan Price
Hope it's a girl so we get another semen demon. Although admittedly a lot of he guys in the series are prettier than the girls
Michael Murphy
Most stories have happy endings which often include the heroes/heroines happily married with cute children.
Asher Brooks
So what you are saying is that they should raise a trap.
Ayden Powell
I still can't get over how cute Kazui is.
Nathan Smith
>main character >kid Yeah, I wish.
Gavin Taylor
After fighting a godlike monstrosity and armies of villains it's understandable the audience want a comfy feeling after the falling action
Settling down with a love interest and watching their children frolic around with the children of allies does this wonderfully
Bonus points if they're named after some hero who died before or during the final battle years prior
It also opens the door to sequels
Hudson Gutierrez
It's only like that b/c having a kid fits the whole "happily ever after" gig: It shows that the MC's finally settled down. Also, it leaves room for sequels.
