Has there ever been a series where a low-ranked person makes their way to the elite ranks without having a hidden lineage and/or hybrid vigor?

Berserk?
>No super parents
>Practically born under shit circumstance
>Got physical prowess through training
>His armor makes him stronger, but he still has to be the one using it / taking it's negative effects.

Yeah, of course. No duh.

TouMAN.
>>120531190
He still inherited Lighting Tiger's power

>Tou "My hand counters almost everything in this univer"ma
>>120531304
IB is just a secondary tool for him. He'd still kick ass without it.

yamato damashi

vampire blood
>>120531265
dragon arm
Those are cheats, they didn't get them through their own power
>>120530979
I think Yu yu hakoshos final arcs was pretty bullshit
The whole dark tournment shit was about Yusuke not becoming like Toguro
but then " BTW UR A DEMON LOL" happened and shit on everything that was taught
>>120531369
sshhh
>>120531383
it's really dumb
Pretty much all anime with super beings of some sort devolve into powerlevels because of their races and MC inheriting powers in some bullshit way. I'm looking at you >>120531261
>>120531383
I don't think we even got it during the US broadcast, which was for the best. They got up to the Shishio arc and just stopped.
How about OPM
>>120531447
They actually just moved the timeslot to 5 in the morning or so without saying a word.
Kingdom.
>>120531137
Yeah Guts. Until Miura fucks it up by revealing he's half elf or Zodd's son.
>>120531383
I don't know, I thought the Sensui arc was good.

goku?
he was a low class saiyajin, then he surprassed even the high rank vejita
>>120531633
you have to admit, it is clever at least
>>120531593
Wait are you serious
Aim for the Ace.
>>120531633
Moot won't save you now kiddo.
>>120531565
hell yeah Hi Shin unit fuck shit up
>>120531338
I'm sure he could beat Accelerator without IB, yeah. I'd like to see how that would go for him.
>>120530979
Sena from Eyeshield?
>>120530979
Akagi. Kaiji also.
>>120531565
>>120531735
this is what you're looking for OP. That's literally the exact plot, and he has no secret lineage or magic.
>>120531447

...Goddammit, I'm getting my shitty toonami chinese cartoons mixed up. Getting old sucks.
>>120531633
I always jump on opportunities to shill Holyland
that shit's my favorite manga

Would Kenshin could as a character like this? Been awhile since I saw the manga but didn't his village get massacred or something and that's how he met his master? No one special just some random kid that had promise. Plus you find out that his sword style is physically damaging his body and he can't practice it for long.
>>120530979
Kinnikuman did the reverse thing of this
by the end of the series Suguru had to fight his opponents without relying on his genetic power-up.
>>120530979
Dude where are you been? This shit happens with 90% of shonens out there, usually mc.
This thread is stupid.
Of course people who are special are going to get further. They're special after all.
Bunch of fools yall are.
>>120531478
Even his own student doesn't believe him.
>>120530979
Rurouni Kenshin
>>120530979
mx0
it got canceled but there you have it.
Even though they're from a special clan the MCs almost always train real hard.
So it's both. Sort of like Agon from ES21
