Why is this archetype so common

My thread died right before I tried to reply. I love all these characters I’m just wondering why this archetype appears so often. It’s like a character who transcends series itself.

No, seriously, I have no idea what these characters have in common. A Y chromosome?

Autistic savant with a magical power and a pointy object, and a Y chromosome.

I would've said that they're all main characters in stories targeted at teenage boys, but then there's Trunks.

what pointy object does light/lelouch have

Well... Light has his pen.

Light has a pen. Lelouch has his helmet.

Pen and Slash Harkens

Light has a pen, Lelouch has his chin

Light has his pen. Lelouch has his helmet, slash harkens and chin.

How is Future Trunks a savant?

These characters dont have anything in common

>chin
This garbage tier thread was worth it just for this

you mean cool and intelligent characters?

well mostly because they're cool, that's your answer
that's why it's so common, because cool is popular

>Trunks
>intelligent
I mean, he's super cool and everything but he's sort of an idiot.

he is the only one in the entire whole of DB that wants to kill the villains and not give them a chance to become stronger "cus i want a strong opponent"

fujos

I'm not going to deny that, but everyone in DB is an idiot.

Another silly question thread.

>Ed
Alchemy isn't magic you triple nigger. Also Ed isn't anything like these guys. The only 2 that are somewhat similar are Light and Lelouch.

except Bulma and Gero
Actually Edward and Cloud are the only really intelligent guys in the bunch. Lelouch is a plothax faggot and Light is plainly stupid.

>making this thread again
shame on your family

pffft

Fuck off. Last time you made this thread you got BTFO because you called Ed, FTrunks and Cloud Edgy. These people have nothing in common

I’m so sorry. No need to get edgy about it.

That's not him being intelligent, that's him being less dumb than the rest of the cast

Ed is edgy.

Cloud is also edgy.

The only clear overlap I see here is Lulu and Light. Trunks has nothing to do on this picture at all.

>Cloud is edgy
>Mosey meme man is edgy
Only in spin offs.

Does he have the tism, Sup Forums?

All edgy self inserts for teenage boys in shounenshit

He isn't edgy in the spin offs. Only whiny and emo.
