What elements would a "generic male lead" bingo card contain if it was based off anime, manga, and related media like VNs & LNs?
I don't think anyone could find enough traits to fill a bingo card with.

Let's put it to the test.
>Military Rank
Inverse would be maybe put into a situation where teenagers shouldn't be, like controlling giant robots
>Title or Designation instead of Name
Well, you can't really reverse that without it being a non-issue.
>Criminal
Too uptight about the rules?
>Vigilante
Concept of morality lacks nuance, is childish, show tries to present this as compelling
>Hardened veteran
Implausibly experienced/talented
>Loner
Show has other characters say hero is charismatic/alluring/magnetic
>Cold and Aloof
Dense/autistic

Japanese is just way too common. Maybe dark hair/dark eyes?
>Dark Humor in the face of danger
Screaming the obvious out loud

No real muscle definition
>Anti-Hero
High schooler

Looks perplexed all the time
>Supernatural powers

Kaiji has none of those, except maybe the scowling. Yet I still feel his reactions are very predictable and his characterization is generic. How come?
>>133824669
Keiichi wasn't that boring.
