goodguy MCs whose morals arent so far up their asses that id need a to conduct a prostate exam for their cancerous attitudes

ngl. i only read the novel. but i have to say that this dude is legit textbook "good dude." out of a sense of duty, obligation, and genuine sentiment for the world, he KNOWS the world is not worth saving nor sacrificing himself for, but will continuously do it bc it is the right thing to do and i think it executes his character and motivations rlly well. also he's not a pushover but not pushy with his morals, so he's pretty chill.

yah. saitama clearly has his own moral conduct and has the power to do whatever he wants without getting pushed around by others (and even when he was weak, he still did it lol). i think that's pretty cool of him. he also doesn't really give a shit about other peoples' motives or standards as long as it doesn't range into (his) property destruction and further, which is valid u know.

good kid: psychic approved.

he has morals that are legally reenforced through love, passion, and extremely cruel actions of unprecedented violence.

denji actively avoids thinking about the moral code of his actions, not bc he cares about others, but bc it makes him feel bad. he is so simple to the point where hypocrisy is too complicated for his personality and basic morals. and for a dude who genuinely does not give a shit about ethics, lacks empathy, and is a watered-down psychopath by both nature and nurture, he will always avoid killing ppl if possible. he is not a good or bad human, just a human stripped of all social conventions.

u know that superman trope where u have excessive amounts of strength and u constantly save the world, but eventually w that strength society starts to feel entitled to your help in a certain way? he's like that. the world feels ungrateful and treats you as separate from the very same society you do the most for, but you still do it w/o expectations from them. he does save the world for his mom and mom only, which is valid, but he saves them w the belief they dont owe him anything.

he's just comedy good u know and i think that's great for him, cookiecutter shonen protagonist. good for you.

he is a shonen protagonist. yah no shit he has morals. i mgiht as well throw in one piece's luffy, bleach's ichigo, aoi no exorcist's MC, etc etc etc

1. pretty art which is like a bribery for me to put anything on a list.
2. it's interesting to see the general ethical perspective of a mythical creature who's seen humanity throughout the years, and realizes its "best" is basically a underdeveloped horror that can impose suffering onto their general populations and other feeling beings. yet MC can't just not extend kindness to those who don't deserve suffering, and is gentle to those she may not sympathize with.

MC, for a dude who does a lotta saving, does not have a saviour complex. you'd be surprised. it's also pretty cool to see how this manga focuses a lot on character dev and dynamics within a society where everyone w power as lots of ambitions, but NOTHING comes before saving humanity. so no drama or politics or intense betrayals- just a bunch of good people in spite of their questionable personalities.
