What Your Favorite Shonen Anime Protagonist Says About You

It’s time for another round of me using my highly scientific* research system to read the tea leaves of your Anime favorites and reveal great truths about you as a person. Be warned: it might get a little too real in here.

Naruto (from Naruto): You were definitely bullied as a child and want to show them all. Believe it.

Monkey D. Luffy (from One Piece): You are all about fun. Life is an adventure. Grab your nakama and go hit the town.

Ichigo Kurosaki (from Bleach): Sure it may not be a great idea to have five versions of the exact same outfit, but you look great!

Goku (from Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z/etc.): You’re OLD! Ha! Look at you! You’re old and the world is leaving you behind!

Eren Jaeger (from Attack on Titan): To paraphrase My Chemical Romance, You’re Not Okay.

Izukuy Midoriya (from My Hero Academia): You know it’s okay to cry, but you don’t know if it’s okay to cry this much.

Yuji Itadori (from Jujutsu Kaisen): You, too, have had a life-changing experience eating something you know you shouldn’t have.

Spike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop): You aspire to levels of coolness that are almost certainly beyond your grasp.

Light Yagami (from Death Note): You are not someone I would like to spend time with.

Edward Elric (from Full Metal Alchemist): You occasionally clap your hands together and try to do some quick alchemy while no one is watching.

Alphonse Elric (from Full Metal Alchemist): You’re DEEP into rescue animal Instagram/TikTok/Adoption Sites.

Natsu Dragneel (from Fairy Tail): Randomly select any three of the explanations for previously listed characters and smash them together. That’s you.

If your favorite protagonist isn’t on the list, throw it in the comments and I’ll give it my best shot.

*Trial and Error is a form of scientific inquiry, right?
