Disagree, Ken is a very battle worn character and his journey, although not marred by challenges in the same way as modern shounen where they're always the underdog, is very well-done up until what's essentially the true ending Vs. Raoh, who himself is one of WSJ's best villains. The only main flaw I feel is that there's not much focus on what he does in downtime, but for his kind of manga that isn't really necessary.
Tanjiro aping the justicefag + sadness over what was or what could've been is a plus that makes him more interesting than a swathe of modern protagonists though. I always have problems believing the Deku-tier "the villain needs to be saved too!"
When Goku does it at least (in most cases), it's because Toriyama wrote him as selfish by nature, instead of some nonsense "i'd be just as bad as him" kind of deal.
I think what's coolest is that Kenshiro's grief over the wasteful bloodshed of the wasteland actually made it so his character built up to realizing the ultimate technique and powerup in the end. Shame the new anime will be dogshit so it won't look as cool as it could.
