>the protagonist has the worst power of his anime
First guy I thought of was Touma. But then I read the manga and saw the dragons, which made it easier to swallow.
More like
>The protagonist has the most lame power of his anime.
>>143758468
What is Bleach?
>>143758277
And then:
>Protagonist manage to save the day with his useless power thanks to the writer turning the bad guys into drooling retards
or
>The lame power was ridiculously broken all along and the protagonist saves the day basically wiping the floor with the antagonists
or
>By using cleverly that lame power the protagonist manages to save the day, barely.

That depends on the series.
What's the point of having superpowers, a powered armor or talent as a mecha pilot if your life is constantly endangered or you're living in a hellhole?

great answer.
Ichigo gets faster and stronger and gets to shoot black ray beams which are weaker then a simple sword strike -> everyone else is just as fast and stronger as him, plus have cool weapons with world bending powers

I would prefer an eventful life of fighting aliens or some shit and possibly dying in the process over living a boring normal life in perfect safety.
>>143759093
You only say that because you're living a comfortable, boring life.
The guy fighting aliens wishes to be in your place.
>>143758544
This. Especially when the powers people have now have conceptual design and depth. And ichigo's speed and strength is easily matched now.

NO. They have all been pretty strong in their first appearance only to later then become broken as they evolved.

No. Ninja Jesus was born powerful.

That wouldn't be the case for Joesph, or Jo2uske.
>>143758277
>>143758468
It depends on the user.
>>143758643
Zenkichi sort of gets powers, but he's always at least a step behind everyone else.
>>143759396
I'm not clever enough to argue this.

Fuck off 3DPD.
>>143759682
Joseph was already a hamon user before the training and could kill vampires. Jo2uke is the combination of two of the more powerful people in the manga and has the smarts to make his stand power become broken.
FRIENDSHIP is just a form of meme magic (many people believe → thing happens), and all of you know the power of meme magic better than anyone.
>>143759731
>He actually dies but not really.
>>143758388
I wouldn't say it's lame in the first place, I like how it's better the stronger the power of his opponent/the more they rely on it

I'd say Johnny didn't start as being very powerful, but he does become broken.

It's the Airplane of shounenshit.
>>143760076
I believe that one day, something similar appears.
If the protagonist can dodge bullets by sidestepping them or blocking them with his sword, why the evil guys don't shoot a continuous burst describing an arc so he can't dodge all of them?
>>143759396
I always see this bitched about. I've never seen a series literally try and argue that having friends directly makes you more powerful. Its always more that fighting for people you care about gives you more determination than fighting for your own ends. And thus lets the main character keep fighting while the antagonist gets worn down.
>>143760110
>He doesn't like powerful MCs when they evolved with the series.
>>143760175
Thats actually a great analogy.

Nah, not really. The most enjoyable time of my life was being 12-16 and having fights with people at my school.
I lived in a shitty neighborhood then, when my family moved my life got really fucking boring and I dropped out of highschool because I realized the rest of my life would be like this. It's the main reason I consider killing myself sometimes. I'm not sad, just annoyed and bored, and I don't want to waste time on a boring life.

>The power to remember everything

>>143760546
The scenario where someone defeats reality warper+ tier enemies without powers or riches or plot armor or the enemies jobbing sounds impossible. Try to think of how that would even work.
>>143760860
Tricking the enemy into making a new reality where they have no powers/are weak?
That actually sounds familiar.
>>143760816
>Zenkeichi defeating the reality warpers in Medaka Box without asspulls
Also he does gain powers later on.
>>143760891
That's an asspull on itself because it requires the reality warper to act like a retard.

I haven't seen that in a while but I'm pretty sure Illuminati triangle guy did something really stupid that resulted in his defeat. Correct me if I'm wrong.

>>143760409
>>143761021
They're not inherently smart but the MC tricking them into making a reality where they don't have powers requires the MC to know more about their powers than they do, which doesn't make sense.

The snake in Kagerou Daze defeated the god loli essentially by saying "dude, you should like, use your powers to get what you want". And then she did, but her desires were corrupt so she ended up being trapped in an artificial world filled with nonsense like a witch barrier.

Of course all the JoJo stands, in the end, evolve into a deus ex to counter the final boss (except 4 I think).

Do errors on the character's part (stress, anxiety to get their master plan rolling, etc) count as character induced stupidity? Because your definition sounds like it is tied in to stuff like the author making the villain dumb enough for the MC to win.

I can understand this if the MC ganged up on the villain with his friends because it means he won because of superior numbers. But that's usually never the case since most fights are 1v1.
