As the title obvious implies, this thread is dedicated to those underrated characters that you think should be imitated more in another anime.
Pic obviously related. Seriously why has no one ever done a protagonist along the same vein as Rock? I mean the guy is easily one of the best written protagonists I have ever seen in anime for quite a while.. A manipulative bastard who even when he wins, loses, and as every arc progresses becomes a more cynical and dark individual without becoming too edgy for the most part.
I'd like more protagonists like Kazuma in Konosuba. If he accidentally grabbed a boob he'd just apologise and that'd be it.
No KYAAAAA
No blushing and running around
That hasn't really been seen in The Wired Red Wild Card yet but I don't think anyone needs to be reminded of that

Yep we definitely need more of that in anime. If there is an accidental grope or something like that, the characters don't immediately freak out like retards. They just give each other the chance to explain and get over it without any sort of violence.
>>138950085
In terms of him losing more often then he wins... No that certainly hasn't been shown. But him becoming a darker individual... Oh, yeah that's definitely coming through. Everyone's been commenting on it and from the looks of things he was going to consciously try to stop helping the 'lost souls' like he did beforehand. He was only helping Feng because he empathizes with her situation, no other reason.
I like to think Kazuma from KonoSuba is Rance in his early days before he realized he could get away with rape.
>>138950589
Nah. Rance has a known backstory
But we do need more arsehole protagonists like him
>>138950011
Anime needs more bros like Qwenthur and Havia.
Honestly.
Usually MC's bro(s) is or are bishounens for the gay-like atmosphere like Nijiiro Days or nobodies that never shows up, only for one or two scenes to explain some stupid shit or talk about the popular girl, like Harem MC's close male friend.

Next chapter when ?
>>138950011
You should watch Breaking Bad

But... Rock's entire character is that he never gets his hands dirty. He doesn't engage in combat and instead gets others to do things for him. He kind of fits the quote "The pen is mightier than the sword" if you switch pen with tongue and sword with gun.
Walter, though a manipulative piece of shit, does get his hands dirty. He uses explosives and has killed people directly. That's what lead to his rise in infamy.
Meanwhile, Rock, is a behind the scenes guy who never gets physically involved in conflict in any way shape or form. If situations were reversed, he would actually make a good antagonist. He'd be the guy who manipulates people from behind the scenes and only a few actually know of just how evil he actually is.

you sound like you have 10 completed anime

Why are Black Lagoon fags so fucking stupid? And those OVAs are terrible and grossly misinterpreted what Hiroe was going for in the manga.
>>138952473
Okay then, give me one protagonist who never actually gets directly involved in a physical conflict in an anime which nearly everyone and their dog has killed someone and instead just manipulates everyone from the shadows.
>>138952441
Come now, Anon. Do I look like some shady guy to you ?
>>138950011
I haven't seen this in years but I remember him being beta as fuck.
>>138952624
He is. At the beginning. He slowly lets the city contaminate him and becomes a bit of a piece of shit
>>138950011
Good lord, kid
You must be edgy as shit if you want more MCs to be like him.
He's like any of MC, but with CRAWLING IN MY SKIN, moments
>>138953117
Go back to watch K-on then. Cute girls are for you since you can't seem to bear the sight of edginess
>>138953117
>>138953302
Stop it, you're both awful.
>>138950011
We need more Erikas in the world.
>>138952576
It's true. You have seen less than ten anime.

You want more Brack Ragoon?
Too bad have some more yaoi!
>>138955426
He posted progress on it just this Christmas, we might actually get a chapter this year!
overly prepared nobles getting BTFO by pragmatic MC has to be my favorite trope
the only reason why Aldnoah wasn't complete garbage
