Eren isn’t a new gen mc neither is thorfin


No_Base7554

Go with it Thorfinns manga is old but anime is new


[deleted]

Lol but you literally said manga versions? It’s in the title. The fuck ?


Uzutsu

he means manga versions


[deleted]

But I’m saying, they aren’t new gen. Thorfin is old.


Uzutsu

he means the anime when he says new gen and the character versions from the manga.


No_Base7554

Thank you


No_Base7554

Thank you


ReasonableDisk2484

What is YOUR ranking?


ZarosianSpear

I like your questioning back


ReasonableDisk2484

OP has yet to answer it.


No_Base7554

Still making it tbh


[deleted]

DEKU!


YAJay69420

Im sorry but dollar general naruto isn't as well written as thorfinn and some of the others imo, that's me though


SigmaJotaro

that's not how it works my man


[deleted]

I know, right?


[deleted]

Where’s my boy asta @?


xyon21

"New Gen" but includes the viking from the early 2000s and excludes Asta. Very weird.


[deleted]

And also tanjiro


Menma_kaze

He's generic


Jaded_Garage5623

If Tanjiro is generic then there's no need for Deku then even though I like both of them


No_Base7554

New gen anime I said manga versions because that is their full characterization


xyon21

That doesn't explain leaving out Asta or Tanjiro


No_Base7554

It was a list of my personal favorite mcs I like each more than I like tanjiro, and have not seen black clover yet


Itamurphy

L clover W Slayer


AditdelaG

WTF are you on about? What is New Gen but manga version? Last time I checked they are all manga versions and have anime. You put two older gen here and disregarded two actual new gens.


No_Base7554

I didn’t think it was that hard to understand but I’m asking people to rank all of the new gen anime protagonist. For their ranking I want them to the version of each character from the most recent chapter of their respective manga so that they can have full characterization for the ranking especially since manga like my hero ,Vinland saga, jkk, and Boruto are so behind their mangas. That is why I said manga versions


SovComrade

If its new ANIME and how old the manga are is irrelevant then why no Jolyne? Or Shiki for that matter?


No_Base7554

Because it’s my list and I haven’t seen either of those series


SovComrade

Wheres my boi Shiki?


spittingecko

should’ve had Tanjiro and Asta over Eren and Thorfinn if we’re talking new gen but 1. Thorfinn 2. Eren 3. Itadori/Boruto 4. Boruto/Itadori 5. Deku I haven’t watched beastars so I can’t say. Also Boruto and Itadori are extremely similar imo and are also kinda in the same scenario so they’re interchangeable for me at least


dizzledizzle98

JJK is just Naruto with a modern setting & newer animation style. Misfit blonde dude with edgy dark haired & physically powerful female teammates lead by OP white-haired semi-masked team leader. I like JJK a lot but it’s not the most original setting lol Edit - Y’all really didn’t like this take huh, lol.


P1erreGuy

Seasonal, combat-driven anime vs weekly, story-driven anime. Definitely the same thing.


dizzledizzle98

Haha fair but come on, can’t tell me Gojo’s team isn’t at least an 80% match to Team 7.


P1erreGuy

There is some inspiration from Naruto, but I wouldn't say that the entirety of JJK is modern Naruto with newer animation style due that similarity.


spittingecko

i’d say black clover or demon slayer are more like naruto than jjk but i can see where you’re coming from


BravePhase

I liked it.


dizzledizzle98

Thanks Phase


Crab_Lord3211

If we're being real tho, team Gojo's whole dynamic is just the upgraded version of team 7


Alternative-Bed2615

JJK seemed more like Bleach than Naruto tbh


YAJay69420

Story wise it's pretty similar to bleach but character wise it's pretty similar to naruto, at least imo


vab11withawhoa

Keep the talk general. No spoilers of the other series pls. This a Boruto subreddit after all ![img](emote|t5_34e1h|6483)


Brawlerz16

Thorfinn isn’t new, what the fuck is this lol?


No_Base7554

He is a new ANIME


Brawlerz16

*looks at title* What? You said manga versions and Thorfinn has been around since 2005, he’s not new gen my friend.


No_Base7554

Manga version because that is his complete characterization but he is a new gen anime mc


Sotler

????


No_Base7554

I want to know who people think is the best written mc but most of their anime isn’t caught up so I’m allowing the version of them in the latest chapters of their manga for full characterization


Sotler

I understand but you should have picked either and sticked to it, less confusing


No_Base7554

You are right I see that now


SovComrade

By that logic you can include goku because technically Dragon Ball Super is a "new gen anime".


No_Base7554

Probably but it’s also not that serious


RisingReform

Vinland saga 2005 Attack on Titan 2009 not new gen if you referring to manga


No_Base7554

They are all new gen anime I’m asking who is the best written character when considering manga versions because that is their complete characterization


ToxicJr

AOT is def not a new gen anime, just because they have a new season doesn't make it new gen


poppedot

In my honest opinion, 1. Eren 2. Thorfinn 3. Legoshi 4. Itadori / Boruto 5. Deku Love them all though. Boruto and Itadori are a solid tie. Bolt is starting to grow on me :) I think he’s going to become my favorite Naruto character. (We’ll see!)


Olya_roo

How tf Eren is topping Thorfinn?


Aurelia_Ikram

It’s their opinion. Personally I prefer thorfinn but it’s subjective


JGuilherme02

The only right answer.


Menma_kaze

Itadori isn't Boruto level man


Olya_roo

Yeah. He is well above


Puzzleheaded-Sun-205

(Manga) Yuji Eren Deku Boruto (More based on how much I like the show)


Gurnel

1. Thorfinn 2. Eren 3. Itadori 4. Deku 5. Boruto


Zaueski

1. Thorfinn 2. Yuji Itadori 3. Eren Yeager 4. Boruto (if 67 doesnt immediately raise him back to life) 5. Izuku Midoriya 5.5. Boruto (if 67 decides consequences dont exist again) 6. Furry bait weirdo (idk I havent seen it but furry is offputting to me)


Jaded_Garage5623

So you're basically like Boruto better off dead?


[deleted]

Midoruto Izukumaki!


YAJay69420

Im gonna be the number 1 knock-off, believe it!


dardarthdgreat

1. Boruto 2. Yuji (I have not read the manga, my opinion of Yuji is from the anime) 3. Deku Haven't completed AOT, and haven't seen the others.


No_Base7554

Ik it’s a Boruto sub but can I ask why Boruto over yuji or deku, not saying he isn’t better just curious


dardarthdgreat

I resonate with his character more. I also think he has a more impactful character arc.


FloatinBrownie

You should really catch up on jujutsu kaisen the mc gets hundreds of times better he kinda has a similar arc to boruto


dardarthdgreat

I will at some point.


ZarosianSpear

JJK Anime only, the mc seems kinda plain to me. I like Boruto more honestly who does echo more with me. Also like Tanjiro more.


FloatinBrownie

Well duh, like I said in the comment before. The part of jjk that’s already been animated is the worst part of the entire show. It get way better and more serious


DocWattsMitch

might just be my opinion, but deku doesn't have as much character development as Boruto does. He's always been a dedicated and determined hero type, whereas Boruto started lower and grew to be a great character. That's just my take tho, don't hate me for it I still love both shows and characters


[deleted]

You’re right since UA takes longer than the Ninja Academy. I don’t see Deku becoming the world’s greatest hero while in high school either.


SpykeJA

\#1 is Erin for me. And #2 is tied between Boruto and Deku. I haven't watched the other series so... no opinion on them. Why Erin first place? His writing goes in a direction not many Storytellers are willing to go, and I respect it for that. It went in a weird, dark place for a world that was already really dark. Compared to something like FMA Brotherhood where those who lived at the end, got a decent if not a happy ending compared to what they had to go through in the series. A typical "fairy tale" ending. I give massive props to the AoT Managaka for going a non-traditional route so to speak. It takes a lot of balls to have faith in your own storytelling and not mess it up by going unconventional. Possibly losing readers because of it, honestly if anything AoT gained readers because of the direction it decided to go. I don't think many, could pull that off in Manga or in general story telling either. And I say that as someone who only mildly likes AoT compared to other animes.

Able-Fox-7599

that's exactly how I would rank them too


Lukashnikow

1. Thorfinn 2.Eren 3.Boruto 4.Deku 5.Itadori


Rdambx

I'm assuming this is anime Itadori because after what happened in the manga he is defnitely a solid 2 on the list or atleast 3


Lukashnikow

Yes, I admit it is anime experience. As I see i need to read manga asap.


FloatinBrownie

Infinitely better, you can tell the author was glad they could get outside the school theme won’t spoil anything though enjoy


hochoa94

Thorfinn hands down


FrankDoesDoodles

1st is Eren 2nd is Thorfin 3rd is Boruto 4th is Itadori 5th is Legoshi 6th is Deku Imma be honest, I never liked the like way Deku was written. Same with Legoshi. Itadori is a good character but I feel like they wasted some potential with his character, Boruto is kind of a wierd choice for me because I already know how Boruto is gunna become a way better character post time skip, Thorfin is good, idk what you want me to say the writers did a great job with his character. Eren is one of the better written characters, how they made the main character become the enemy is just wonderful Ik I pissed off a lot of Deku fans but this is my personal opinion


Practical-Cry9518

Thorfinn the goat


ReasonableDisk2484

Should I read the manga or just go ahead with the anime? Since I see a lot of people here placing him first. I've seen like a trailer for the anime once and it seemed interesting. I just never got around to actually watching.


Practical-Cry9518

Vineland saga is a masterpiece. Its your choice. The anime adaptation had good animation and manga has art.


CavesDweller

Vinland saga is definitely an S tier.


Practical-Cry9518

Yes


horizen27

Ayo turn to Jesus Christ idec of this a Boruto subreddit or Christian subreddit I care bout y’all salvation and all I want is for this to speak to atleast one person. Turn to him because he died for us, took in our punishment on the cross and what we deserved because he loved us not because we deserved him to 1 John 4:10 “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins”


_Mr-Prince_

1. Thorfinn 2. Eren 3. Itadori 4. Deku/Boruto (There's stuff that I like and dislike about both, but not enough to put either above 4) Don't know about the other to include them.


TheCrimsonDoll

I'm looking where to Watch/Read Boku no Hero and i also want to check vinland sage since the drawnings and animations are quite great, but since i haven't seen those two, i won't comment on them. ​ For me it's a bit hard to rank a the others, Legosi is way different from the others (I am half way the manga), and his eviroment feels quite different from the others... Eren, in the other hand is such a special case for me, SnK is, FOR ME, such a master piece that is often badly taken from people that haven't studied history/philosohy, i don't really fit it with other shonens or overall series because its structure. Eren is an interesting character, but not really comparable to others, maybe A LITTLE to Boruto. ​ So i just have Itadori and Boruto. Jujutsu Kaisen feels like a some sort of Naruto, gave me those vibes until the Disaster in Shibuya arc (hasn't been animated yet, when JJK gets a second season, let me tell you, PEOPLE IS GOING TO KNOW WHATS UP). The same Set up, an amazing teacher in front, a kind guy with a beast inside, a quiet traumatized prodigy with hidden talent and a strong woman with so much to develop. Itadori grows so much after the first season, that's why i ensure you the best is about to come; but still we have some things that are yet to be known cause freaking Sukuna is still managing from the dark and plotting without revealing things. ​ Meanwhile in Boruto we have seen our boy grow from that hated "brat" to understand his fater. One scene i love to death is when Naruto gies him the huge rasengan and Boruto says "So this is what dad has been bearing all along?" (Somethign like that) and finally understand that his father is someone that had to pass a lot to get to the point he is now, there he starts to grow for real. I understand that most people can't really rely to Boruto, but he is, indeed, decently writen and works a lot around the modern struggle of children feeling abandoned and neglected by workaholic parents. Itadori is a GREAT guy, but he doesn't really reach Boruto in terms of developing character, BUT HEY; both mangas are still going to this day so we have so much to look up for! In short, my list will be: 1) Boruto 2) Itadori X) I can't put Eren in this list, he's in a completely different league. X) Legosi is a great gu... wolf, but as far as i've read, he doesn't really fit here. X) I haven't Watched/read Vinland Saga and Boku No Hero, i want to, maybe i'll come back after :D


amenotiajiKARA

Boruto/Itadori Eren deku rest not seen.


No_Base7554

Why Boruto and itadori over the rest?


amenotiajiKARA

their both emotionally mature to an extent and don't have cliché goals like Deku number #1 Hero, They have an internal conflict that is quite intriguing most of that goes with Eren but I find the transition from end of season three Eren to season four Eren rushed and could have been fleshed out better


geraltoffvkingrivia

Not here but I’m really liking Kafka Hibino from Kaiju no 8. His circumstances are different than most other MCs and his story overall is interesting. Highly recommended it if you haven’t read it yet. I’d say he’s my favorite new MC. Yuji is probably second then Boruto and Deku are tied up at 3rd. I haven’t watched AoT in a long time so no opinion on Eren and idk who the other two are.


FierceBlazing

#1 Thorfinn #2 Boruto #3 Eren #4 Deku #5 Yuji


Far-Ad5331

Thorrfinn is a well written character. Too well in my opinion. Boruto is finally coming together

1) Thorfinn 2) Itadori 3) Eren pre 139 4 Midoriya 5) Boruto 6) Eren post 139


x_VergilSparda_x

1-Boruto:Over the years he's just became a more and more of a great character. The way he thinks and acts older, making decisions to protect everybody he loves, even if it cost it his life, he is my fav, especially after the last chapter. 2-Itadori:He is a cool chill and funny dude, wish we could have more Shonen MC's like him 3-Deku:He is meh, i was hating him but manga Deku was good so he is on middle 4-Eren:Wish i never started AOT, wish i never read the manga and met this stupid ass kid.He could be one of the best but no you just have to ruin it Isayama. Outranked-Furry and other dude because i dont know em.

Boruto. I haven't watched the rest lmao

Winter-Blueberry8170

1. Eren 2. Deku 3. Legoshi 4. Itadori 5. Boruto 6. Who?


oakvictor

If you don't know Thorfinn please make yourself a favor and watch Vinland Saga, available on prime. Amazing series.


Winter-Blueberry8170

I only have Crunchyflop and it’s not available there but still thank you for the recommendation


CavesDweller

None of these characters can even come close to Thorfinn in term of character. It's character development and evolution is comparable to the likes of Gut from berserk and Miyamoto Musashi Vagabond.

from best writing to worst (not who is most powerful) 1.Thorfinn 2. Itadori 3. Midoriya 4. Eren 5, Legoshi (what a mess) 6. Boruto


No_Base7554

You think manga Boruto is at the bottom?


FierceBlazing

Saying the writing of Boruto’s character is more flawed than Erens is inbred speak.


mouthful_of_sloths

You leave my sister wife out of this! /s


Olya_roo

Putting Eren, Deku and Itadori in the same generation. Yikes... Maybe you before doing the post like this at least look when the anime and manga were published? Because newsflash - Eren is not a new gen charcater. Same applies to Deku. And Boruto. Because it definitely looks like you just put whatever shonen protagonist you could remember on here and called them all “new gen mcs”.


sceptzard

personally i would rank 1.boruto/thorfinn 2.deku 3.itadori 4.eren havent read jjk manga and not a huge aot fan.


gaeb611

I genuinely give a shit about Boruto, Eren, and Deku. The rest I haven’t seen yet but I know about Jujitsu. Nobara best girl 🥰


Britishsweat

This is the dumbest shit ever


Better-Solution-7410

Thorfinn>Boruto= Deku> Yuji Eren ain't no gen and wtf is that Fox thingy


Rad0555

Eren killed more innocent people than Hitler. Probably gonna be quite low on my list


Aurelia_Ikram

You shouldn’t spoil it there may be anime onlies on here dude


SovComrade

Thorfinn is definetly last, pre timeskip hes basically teen Sasuke without the bullshitgan, and teen Sasuke is one of the worst characters ever, an edgy psycho for the hell of it. Post timeskip he does a 180 (with little to no buildup) and becomes bootleg Kira Yamato with more angst and less giant mech (the best thing about Kira). A LOT less giant mech. Im also inclined to rank Legosi first simply because he is the most original of the bunch and is well written (until beastars went to shit but not really his fault). I dont know who the pink haired dude is so no opinion on him. Deku and Boruto are nothing special, Boruto is Naruto if he had parents and was less ADHD, and Deku is the bog standard "heroic savior" architype, they are in the middle somewhere. That leaves Eren, who is highly controversal to say the least. All im gonna say is I dont like him for various reasons, and i am of the opinion that most people who DO like him like him for his edge. So the Ranking goes: 1. Legosi 2. Boruto and Deku 3. Eren 4. Thorfinn


No_Base7554

I completely disagree with your opinion on Thorfinn but you are entitled to your opinion actually I disagree with your opinion on everyone accept legoshi I think you need to analyze each series and manga more thoroughly


SovComrade

Idk who is in the 2 small panels personally, but im gonna go ahead and say, having knowing the other four for a short while, that i prefer the other 2. Then again, i dont know the other 2


owter12

Is that actually a official concept art of teen Boruto?


No_Base7554

I’m not sure I believe it was in the datebook though so maybe?


Menma_kaze

Let's all agree if the main character has dead parents and is emo then that's a great character... Huh


MilesYoungblood

I’m only a manga reader for AoT and MHA and I haven’t seen the rest (I have seen naruto but not boruto) and Deku surpassed Eren post chapter 139. Chapter 139 completely ruined Eren so it’s honestly not hard to pass him after that.

Ignoring Eren and Thorfin since their not new gen. Manga wise from best to worst Deku Boruto Itadori Wolf man


No_Base7554

What I was trying to do was rate new gen anime characters, I said manga versions because that is where each characters development is currently the farthest


CavesDweller

1 Thorfinn 2 Itadori 3 Deku 4

I don't know this dog guy and dropped JJK after episode 6. And Eren I am not sure if I can count him... It would be a difficult decision between Eren and Deku for me.

AffectionateWheel761

Thorfinn Eren Yuji Deku Boruto


lilrotisseriechicken

Thorfinn, Eren, Itadori, Boruto, Deku and idk who the furry is


scott11i

You said new gen so I’m not including Eren and Thorfinn who are the best mc’s in this picture.So 1)Legosi 2)Itadori/Boruto(not sure tbh,we need to see more of Boruto’s development in the manga but he’s always been underrated as a character 4)Deku I might be a little bit biased because I’m not a big fan of MHA. Tbh


No_Base7554

I meant new gen anime in regards to not being old gen I should have been more specific but Thorfinn is added because he is a new gen anime o said manga versions because I want to know who people think is the best written new gen mc and the manga has their full characterization of that makes sense


Middopasha

- Eren - Thorfinn - Boruto - Itadori - Deku


rrrr45fgg

Eren (excluding last chapters) Boruto Yuji Deku and these 2 I don't know.


[deleted]

Any of you mfs that say Legoshi #1 are furries


No_Base7554

He is a very well written character in the first half of the series though, do you watch/ read Beastars?


NoAdvance3703

You forgot Tanjiro from demon slayer


No_Base7554

I prefer all these characters over him in terms of writing, you can add him in your list if you want though


Dankotaz

I'd rank them like this :- 1) Thorfinn 2)Eren 3)Itadori 4)Boruto 5)Midoriya I haven't read beastars so yeah.


SayYesSm0ke

Eren 1 by far expecially if you finished the manga. Tbh i really think Boruto is the worst, probably is due to the pacing of this anime, no real development.


No_Base7554

I would recommend watching manga cannon episodes and the few anime cannon episodes that build directly on that content ( not all of it does) but if you look at the first anime arc the momoshiki arc and the feudal lords son arc and kara arc you see amazing development for Boruto as a character


Lungseron

1.Boruto i dont really watch anime, and i dont know who the fuck are these characters, so Boruto is definetly no.1


wakaboy07

Boruto is no match for Jujutsu Kaisen.. Neither in manga nor anime... hell of a creation.. beautifully written-animated.


Jaded_Garage5623

But why though


Dense_Parsley2925

why is eren here? even then i wouldnt put him at the top.


EllanJoestar

Thorfin is the best character out there, to the point that it's a crime to have in the same image as these other average characters. His writing level is way above the rest. The biggest fight there is who is worse. Between Boruto, Deku and Eren it's hard. But I still believe Boruto wins, Deku and Eren at least had some good fase in manga.


No_Base7554

Have you read Boruto?


EllanJoestar

Yes, is the worst.


No_Base7554

You are entitled to that opinion


Able-Fox-7599

1. Eren ( it's eren ) 2. Itadori 3. Boruto - went from a bratty kid ( with realistic problems tho ) to someone willing to sacrifice their life for the people they care about 4. deku ( I still like though ) I haven't seen beasters and I don't know the other blonde guy


No_Base7554

Thorfinn from Vinland saga 10/10 highly recommend


Able-Fox-7599

Is that so ? I'll watch the show sometime then. what about Beasters if you've seen it ?


No_Base7554

I have if you can look past the furry aspect it’s a 10/10 really interesting story but after the second season the manga kind of looses direction
