>still not a single MC anywhere near as based as eikichi motherfuckin onizuka
What went wrong? Why can't any mangaka write an MC this based anymore?

>>279984085 (OP)
If we're talking about based MCs he was already surpassed years ago.

>>279984470
If say 95% of a season is trash, then not only are most new shows bad, but the majority of good shows are older. It's just basic math.

>>279984085 (OP)
What about Rance?

>>279984470
Yes. Name a few seasonal anime that are actually great from the last 1-2 years.

>>279984085 (OP)
99% of MCs are just completely pussies in the past few years who stutter or run away at the slightest hint of a female character or they are completely incompetent, but have some generic isekai skill that makes them win fights.
And when someone tries to write a "based" MC these days you just get Solo Leveling where they are perfect in every way and invincible, but have no character at all.

>>279984983
There are some good ones too.

>>279984207
Steins;Gate doesn't have a single great character in it.

onizuka was ass.
arararararagi is way more fun to watch and relatable.

>>279984207
That's one way of admitting you're an idiot.

>>279984427
Stardust Crusaders was written 10 years before GTO you idiot.

>>279984870
Why do you fucking morons keep naming characters before Onizuka? The OP is asking why there haven't been any based MCs SINCE GTO.

>>279985625
No, you are simply a moron.
Evidently stupidity shares 1/1 parity with being a footfag.

>>279985871
That's why I explained how Onizuka is the opposite of based.

>>279985977
That's just evidence you're a superficial moron though.

>scared of tits
You didn't even read the manga at all, moron.

>>279987490
>All that sex he ran away from just like every other limp dick MC doesn't count, because it just doesn't okay

What the absolute fuck happened with the last series? It took a giant break, resumed, redid a bunch of content but worse, and then fucked off. It's so fucking weird.

>>279987542
Somehow you are too stupid to differentiate between running away and getting unlucky.

Beside the point anyway. Only a blithering idiot like you would classify a character as based relative to something as superficial and worthless as women. Part of what makes Onizuka based is how he deals with life in spite of repeated bad experience with women. Meanwhile morons like you desire the most simplistic of vicarious power fantasy.

>>279987691
>because it just doesn't okay

>>279987551
The author got old. You can clearly tell the art is far more half assed than the original manga which was highly detailed.

You lost the argument. Time for you to swallow your pride, accept you're a moron and move on.

>>279984085 (OP)
People nowadays think it’s wrong to beat up JK because they are lame so he’s not popular

>>279989171
What argument? You're a joke that tries desperately to peddle a dogshit show in numerous threads, and people tell you to fuck off about it. Shouldn't you move onto your next target already?

>>279989259
Again, you lost. Move on. Stop trying to pick fights where you're intellectually outmatched, moron.

>>279989259
not him but GTO has always been a much loved show and manga here on /a/. Go back.

>>279989319
I mean, if you're so confident that I lost, then surely you would just ignore me and move on with your day as there's nothing left to discuss? You seem desperate to get me to admit some form of defeat (not gonna happen, btw).

I am more than happy to keep correctly labeling you what you are: an idiot.

I wouldn't even say that S;G has any good characters in it. Okabe and Kurisu are mid as fuck.

>>279984085 (OP)
Loid should count. Sasaki from Sasaki to Piichan too. And I guess the coach from Medalist. Oh, and Patrick from the Dorkness manga/anime/novels is fucking based too, especially later on in the novels. Blud reaches lv99 too.

>>279987551
That ending was so fucking rushed and underwhelming, holy shit. At least the he made Abe proud I guess.

>>279984085 (OP)
Haitani from Embers was pretty close, RIP. Also Gintama, Cromartie, Bobobo, Saiki, and Space Dandy all came after GTO. I'd argue the MC's of those series are all on the same based wave-length as zuka

Like Onizuka?

>>279993726
The latest series of GTO, GTO Paradise Lost Kai, ended a couple months ago.
Onizuka lost his virginity a few years ago, with some random new teacher who became a plot point for the whole thing. Several volumes later, the series ended with Onizuka taking her to, like, Hokkaido or somewhere far like that, getting married, and having a kid. She's an ultra roastie though.

LDP

>>279984929
xer won't, or will name some shitty girl's feelings crap like makeine.

>>279993898
I mean, the chick's hella hot. Hot enough to have been a pop idol who becomes a literal worship object in a cult, and iirc get brainwashed so she seduces rich and powerful dudes to make her... dad? manager? something like that also rich and powerful. The guy is the leader of the cult, and the main antagonist in Paradise Lost.
Don't get me wrong, Paradise Lost was absolute shit (except for an extremely hot arc about Uchiyamada's daughter), but Onizuka could've done much worse. I'd still have liked a Fuyutsuki end though.

>>279989388
not him but yeah, it is

>>279993997
A loser who gets a girl anyway is still a loser, and is the opposite of based.

>>279994090
Which character would you say is more based than Onizuka? I did post this >>279991623 , but I'd say they're all as based as him, not more.

Gate, Meikyuu Black Company, Gun x Sword, Mushoku Tensei, Demonbane, Battle Programmer Shirase, Needless, Godannar, Super Robot Taisen OG and Trillion Game come to mind, but they all fall short of Eikichi. I do think the *hanburu beta noishisu* MC from Madan no Ou to Vanadis is kinda based though.

>>279984085 (OP)
Delinquent is the most based genre, as such its characters are the most striking

>>279994125

>>279994125
.

>>279994512
Shirase is 100% as based as Eikichi, though his show was older if I'm not mistaken. Same with Gun x Sword, Demonbane, Godannar and SRT.
Some of the guys from Gate, the Meikyuu Black Company MC, and possibly the guy from Needless are pretty based, but nowhere near as Eikichi.
Rudeus though? Fuck the right off. And Trillion Game is too tryhard.

>>279994512
There are dozens of us!

>>279994125

>>279994560
At long last you post a properly based dude. But only because it's an Akatsuke Natsume character, and you've already talked shit about Kazuma.

>>279994125

>>279994650
someone else is posting too now

Go re-watch GTO and realize that it’s true nature was cooming over JKs. Just the usual JP soft core harem trash. The only thing which makes it different from the coomer trash of today is that the MC is cool vs a herbivore loser. And also the art is much better but that’s a universal phenomenon of newer anime artists forgetting how to draw the human figure.

>>279994125
..

>>279994678
Oh. In that case, you're 2 for 2, Shiroe's the shit. The hero from Mermelade's previous novel too.

>>279994716
You probably just haven't seen it but you need to apologize to Louie.

>>279994587
Shirase started when GTO ended, while I love the guy he's not an ex delinquent so there's that (though he is based in risky situations in his own way). I like all MCs from those shows but they all lack the entire gestalt of what made Eikichi that based... like Kyosuke, he actually has the guts to fuck Excellen, but he isn't collected enough to educate Bullet like Eikichi did to Kunio. Being the greatest teacher is something only Onizuka did, which is why I didn't even list SZS. Mecha anime is kinda cheating though, the half that didn't get co-opted by evangelion still had the same mindset GTO did well into the 2000s. Trillion game is there because I like Haru, it's tryhard but that's how those money types roll a lot of the time... every rich guy in an expensive car is that kind of retard. I haven't read the novel but what did Rudeus do that Shirase didn't?

>>279994750
Rune Warrior? Nope, just Lodoss, Granquest and Galaxy Angel. Didn't it come out before GTO though?

>>279994613
OGIN is so based, wish they gave us OG Moon Dwellers anime too.
>>279994750
>>279994371

>>279994847
>I haven't read the novel but what did Rudeus do that Shirase didn't?
Be utterly pathetic? I guess it's a question of personality. Sure, both of them spy on and, one way or another, diddle kids. But Shirase has the nonchalant demeanor and tightly crafted abilities to deserve the eventual harem we couldn't get because the show was cancelled, whereas Rudeus only got the girls because every single one felt sorry for him. Shirase's lolis didn't put out (even though the government one wanted to), but they didn't feel sorry for Shirase either.

>>279994855
>Didn't it come out before GTO though?
Actually 2 years after

>>279984085 (OP)
>doesn't fuck Urumi in the sequel
He's unbased now

>>279993944
The political party?

>>279994957
>Be utterly pathetic?
Well, true, I guess I just give him a pass because he's made to suffer proportionally to how pathetic he lets himself be, and because things like the ED arc are the kind of fun and crude toilet humor I like.
>Rudeus only got the girls because every single one felt sorry for him
I think I missed that, Sylphie admired him for teaching her magic, so much she almost expected him to cheat on her with the beastgirls. Roxy got mad he surpassed her in such a short time, and that frustration inspired her and turned into affection. Eris maybe fucked him because a part of her felt kinda sorry for leaving him, but I doubt that's the entire thing.

>>279984085 (OP)

>>279995018
Yeah, that one, though it's just my guess and not a fact. I think their influence on censorship also influences which characters get made, since people will try to fund and produce anime they don't fear will be censored. Sure, based characters may not be illegal, but one jumpable hurdle is enough to stop a producer on his tracks.

>>279995083
Let's say I agree with you. Even then, what you're describing is way less based than Shirase and Eikichi. I mean, I like Mushoku Tensei, but if I think of Rudeus, I get this >>279995099 at best.

>>279995151
>best
Exactly, not many MCs are cool enough to blackmail their love interest.

>>279995151
Sure, I can agree Rudeus is the farthest from Eikichi in that list. haven't seen >>279995099 though, looked like cuckshit.

>>279994420
>>279994476
Characters who are willing to spank women should be friends not fight

>>279995432
>>279985035
It is cuckshit, the MC cheats on girls with other girls. The MC doesn't get cucked though if that's what you were expecting.

>>279995518
He doesn't get cucked as in "it's their job so it doesn't count" or as in "they drop the job as soon as they date him"? I don't mind cheating, I've been watching Okusama wa Mahou Shoujo and having a blast, but MC's with cuck mentality are kinda lame.

>>279995609
The only job she has done since they started living together has been for his grandma, if you don't want to buy the cope that rentals don't get physical.
>mentality
>blackmail
I really think that alone says quite a lot.

>>279995697
Blackmailers are just schemers, can still be in the same category of cucks. Just look at Teshigawa from GTO, complete cuck mentality, and his schemes to get Onizuka out of the school don't fall too far from blackmail.

>>279994999
The sequel series Onizuka just feels defanged compared to the first series

What do I win?

>>279995776
It's okay though because she really wanted it.

Onizuka was cool but if we're talking based MCs then Touka is the one

>>279984207
Okabe is fine I guess. I don't think Steins;Gate is very good.

>>279995963
I can respect it if it's fetish play.

>>279995776
It's really just a vanilla romance with very memeable scenes which get blown out of proportion.

>>279996131
And then there's chapter 218. The only thing of note in that garbage manga though.

>>279996741
>blown out of proportion
>218
Yeah exactly, a dude does some thinking while swimming, nothing happens.
