Luffy is the best DESIGNED shounen protagonist. Prove me wrong.

Y E S

Natsu has PINK HAIR and still looks better than any Odashit character.

Every pre seinen jojo protag except Johnathan is better designed.

...

...

I agree. The only character who comes close is Kid goku from dragon ball.

...

Young Joesph design makes it hard to tell him apart from Jonathan. I'd argue that's a weak design. Every other one is great.

...

>Drifters
>Shounen

btfo

this

Yep, even araki has mentioned how he wished he made him look more unique to Jonathan, but he was designed like so due to keeping readers invested in the story, as killing a protag in the 80's was the usual

was unusual* fuck

target acquired

He isnt even the protag of his own manga anymore

he's not bad

Too bad his new designs for Joseph and Jonathan are both total garbage, but I guess he was unsatisfied with their original ones

Personally, Joseph was the best Joestar so I forgave his design for that reason and came to love it but I can understand changing Jonathan

Out of my way plebs

...

yeah I feel you, Joseph isn't my favourite, but he's a solid character, and it's interesting to see him age over the series, don't get that with many characters

awful choice

a greaser knock-off in some green jammies?

Best choice you mean

It doesn't even show Luffy get stronger. He just insta knows how to do anything and everything. At least pick a character with a LITTLE development.

no, we all know Jean Luc Picard is the best shonen protag to date

Luffy's brazilian flip flop wearing ass look triggers my foot fetish because I'm reminded of my fetish and that male feet are nasty

He should try wearing some real shoes

Wrong, try again

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>Fights in sandals
>Inspired a bunch of other idiots who fight in sandals
>good design

Nope.

That isn't KAMIYUU cut luke.

Wrong

I'm sorry, I think you're spelling it wrong, it's JEAN LUC PICARD, be careful user, so one might think you're talking about someone else

>be careful user, so one might think you're talking about someone else
Because I am.

Literrally the most generic shonen MC ever made

c'mon buddy. i like hxh but gons design is as generic as they come. not even the best protagonist design from togashi by a country mile

I think Johnny boy's redesign is an improvement because it makes him actually look like someone born into a wealthy family.
His old Kenshiro look never made much sense outside of being a parody

motherfucking Kenshin

>best choice

fixed
you'll never see a design like it

I want to love Luffy tenderly and feed him meat every day.

literally just shikamaru + kakashi

Boa pls

I'd argue of all the slim "boyish" protags, Luffy's the best for your money.

For muscular protags, it has to be Jotaro. Shit Jojo as he may be, his design is completely iconic.

And for small stature protags, young Goku. Toriyama's style worked better when it was softer.

Toriyama makes me paranoid for my own art, truly made me realize it is possible to get worse. A lot worse.

fucker dresses like a male stripper most of the time though

Genuinely awful

...

You can do better, c'mon

You fucks realize Gon was made incredibly simple for a reason right

He had an alright design pre time skip but all One Piece characters look like shit post time skip.

Yuuske

That doesn't make it good.

It's not generic if it was one of the very first popular designs. That's like saying gokus character is generic

Right. Best.

Best designed based on what?

Wrong

The straw hat and scar under his eye are iconic, but his clothes are not really that memorable in the same way Goku's or Usagi's are.

what you don't like T H I C C neck?

doesn't change the fact that he's not very groundbreaking or unique. this is a thread for the best designed shounen protagonists

>serialization began in 1998
>one of the first popular designs

you have to be at least 18 to post kiddo

*Rosé hair

Filthy ningen

Goku

/thread

Yeah I agree. I think his post timeskip outfit is better though. Or when he is wearing a floral print shirt or something. I just love the varied outfits in One Piece so much.

...

You could argue that Jotaro's design is much more distinguishable

Right? I mean Z designs are okay but the first Dragon Ball's design had a special charm to it.

not even dragon ball fag but goku has the best design by a far amount

I love me some Luffy but Yusuke exudes the spirit of 'boy'

>best shounen character
>school kid that looks like a grownass man

You realize HxH isn't immune to criticism of every kind right?

Somone post wolfguy

>Anything in Jojo being well-designed

I bet you think Jotaro is a deep, well written character too.

>For muscular protags, it has to be Jotaro. Shit Jojo as he may be, his design is completely iconic.

So is Goku's and it's more aesthetic to boot.

>manlet
>good design

OP asked for design faggot. Doesn't mean anyone actually likes the character

Is this an edit of Avatar or just another case of a black man being a thief?

No, it makes it simple.

Really? Shit, sure opened my eyes user.

>manlet
>aesthetic

Goku looks like dogshit compared to Jotaro.

That's not what the world thinks.

>Is that a Jojo refer--

No faggot!

yo...................... is that a jojo reference..............

(also OC please don't steal)

>Prove me wrong.
Done.
Giorno and Josuke BTFO Luffy as well, not to mention characters from other series, like Goku and Yusuke for example. Luffy is good but not the best.

>Tfw loved JoJo when it wasn't as popular and still do
>Outside of JoJo threads, cannot fucking post or see posts with anything remotely similar to JoJo without people going "Is that a JoJo referrence?

It hurts
It really does
