Why does Japan love the Beta Loser Male Protagonist?

What's the appeal of wimpy spinless indecisive male leads who act like they are still 13?

OMG, he's just like me!

What's the appeal of saving the tiniest possible thumbnail of an image and then compressing it to shit?

This.
Anime needs more chad MCs like there were in the 80s and 90s. Not these permanent virgin self-inserts. Why do you want to imagine yourself as a sexless loser?

ENTER

op is a phoneposter please understand
his brain can't handle complex tasks like saving images properly

The Japanese are very cucked men

why are iPhone users like this

its easy to self insert

even worse than OP

joid cope

because we're all beta losers. (You) included.

nyooo I'm le Cha-

shut the fuck up. You're HERE. you're a loser.

not hard to understand that fiction is a form of escapism

Aren't they literal teens? Also are you sure about the spinless part? They do a lot for the girls, how are they losers when they achieve things?

That line of thinking just leads to boring and samey characters.

This puts me off so many anime and manga
Give me a badass 2cool4school character like Chihiro or a power fantasy like the Solo Levelling guy over some wimpy beta bitch boy

Why do cartoons for Asian teenage boys have Asian teenage boys as the protagonists?

I can't take him seriously when he has the fashion sense of a school shooter

He's killing Yakuza. Gotta dress for the occasion

Harima from School Rumble is the goat romcom MC, while still having a soft side

Same shit with theres manwha main characters who start out as 5'6 losers and somehow, zero connection to the powers they gain, grow to 6'4 and all the bitched go crazy over him its blatant fucking self insert and cringe as fuck and you can tell the author is self inserting too

I remember reading haikyu and the main character meets that "little giant" he was idolizing and he learns that said guy retired from volleyball and was working as a mang artist and hinata goes "is it weird im not disappointed at all" and it was the cringiest most painful thing i ever read because the little giant was the literal fucking author self insert and he needed his oc main character to tell him his career choices arent disappointing at all. So fucking CRINGE oh my god it hurts to even think about it

What you describe is pre-2010 shounenshit and pre-2010 battle-haremshit.

No way??

Self-insert crap

Still a Empty and Badly written Self-insert.

But at least is not this kind of Self-insert.

Jin woo is the best written character of all time. Fact.

Because japs are feminine.

"The Best written character ever"

OP doesn't even know who they are

Based and true

the only reason why korean MCs aren't identical to the jap ones is because the mandatory conscription in South Korea makes it problematic to have teen MCs that will need to serve the military after they graduate from high school

In other words enforced masculinity makes a country and all of its exports superior in every way

Inferior, south of them can have gap moe.

This faggot is even gayer than what OP posted..

Why are jeets like this?

I don't think it's entirely because of self inserting, but because of limitations on how relationships can develop. basically since series aren't allowed to have characters fucking someone has to be the cockblock. in older animes it was the females who would be bitchy or tsundere and always be doing the physical abuse gag with male characters who wanted to bang but would always fail. at some point creators realized that this was making their heroines less likable and changed to making the male protagonist cockblock himself while the female characters are all wanting dick.

OP is based because he understands the Japanese moid is far inferior to the Korean sigma chad aura farmer, just look at Solo Leveling

tsundere and always be doing the physical abuse gag with male characters who wanted to bang but would always fail

I will never forgive Rumiko Takahashi and Ken Akamatsu for making that trope so popular that it was fucking omnipresent from the early 90's to the late 2000's

written

character

Kek'd

The average male japanese highschooler can easily relate to this type of characters.

If you post this in good faith then you would LOVE solo leveling. The entire show is a japan humiliation ritual, it literally dunks on this archetype by having the MC start as one and then subverting it with hard work instead of isekai cheat skills.

Everyone says the reason is self insertability but I'll posit a different theory: it enhances their shota sex appeal if they're just a little pathetic

Why do they all have the same hair?

Isn’t he unironically the chad that people here claim to want?

it's the only haircut that men are allowed to have in japan and not become a social outcast

instead of spamming this thread every day just go watch solo leveling already, jfc

They want to copy kirito but miss that Kirito wasn't a spineless coward just a sociopath.

I thought they wanted to be Shinji

Social uniformity is a blessing, belonging to an in group is a reward in itself.

Why hasn't solo leveling trend even in Korean twitter, tho?
No collab in Korea. No collab in Universal studio Japan. No toy, plamodel, shokugan from bandai.
Sold less BD than Guild handler.
Didn't sold lots of merches.
What went wrong? Most people watch anime to watch cute girls doing yuri things, not this gay twink dancing with 6.9cm shivs.

Why didn't he got a plamodel from bandai then?

yuricuck

Deluded schizophrenia confirmed, opinion discarded. No girl is a lesbian in Jin Woo's presence btw.

Dont forget he was originally a pathetic whiny manlet before changing personality and growing a foot taller overnight. Korean Fantasy is more cucked than Japanese protags because the real life equivalent is getting leg extensions and plastic surgery.

before changing personality and growing a foot taller overnight

That's the point, they are outright making fun of Japanese beta loser male protagonists

yes

they are outright making fun of Japanese beta loser male protagonists

the gook actually thinks this

LOL
LMAO
No, this is how Korea is. It's a shithole that values IMAGE above all else. Even more so than the west, which Korea heavily pursues the approval of.
Why did he grow a foot taller and go from looking normal to looking like a kpop faggot? Why is that the default look for all this gay webtoon shit? Because in Korea how you look is the most vital thing. If you don't look rich, you're worthless, if you don't look attractive you're worthless, if you aren't at the top you're at the bottom.
Then the personality "change" isn't so much a change but how Koreans simply are. Those at the bottom can't fight back so they're passive, whiny bitches. THE MOMENT they have power over someone else they become sociopaths because if the shoe was on the other foot the same would be done to them.
There is no mockery. It's simply that Koreans are mentally fucked and have a heavily distorted lens of what is good.

When will he get a collab in USJ? He should get HGWT 1/12 arisen Sung Jin woo plamodel from Bandai. Anyone to make HGWT Sung Jin Woo plamodel box art from bandai? Pic rel is example of this.

He didn't change from "normal" to "kpop faggot", he changed from "japanese beta twink" to "aura farming shadow monarch chad sigma".

Then why does everyone here hate him?

No, that haircut is peak kpop boyband faggot tier.

Never because Solo Leveling gods are too well adjusted to buy baby toys

But why doesn't he have lots of fanarts, according to danbooru? Even aliens like Chalia Bull and Xavier has more fanart than him.

Because the person that responded to you is a shill for korean shit.
He's also OP(and thus a massive, cock-gargling faggot) who solely made this thread to shill his dogshit "anime" that no one outside of the SEA region and India watched.

Will he get DX knightkiller from bandai, just like DX nichirin? Which can transform kids into Sung Jin Woo by clicking the button, with flashes and sound from anime.

DXナイトキラー！この剣を構え，影の力を纏い，国家権力級のハンター，ミズシノになれ！

Lolwut? It's basic ass short hair

Why cannot he sell much BD than guild handler tho? Why cannot he get a collab with USJ?

Because they're intellectually dishonest and complaining about "weak traits" is cover for the fact that they actually just want LGBTQ softcore like this schizo

Will he get plamodel from bandai? Bocchi got plamo already. Anyone to make sung jin woo plamodel boxart? HGWT 1/12 Arisen Sung Jin Woo,m(HGWT 1/12 覚醒ミズシノ).

jinwoo

He literally got bodysnatched.
His actual persona is now dead.

It's a metaphor for how Korea will save anime

how Korea will save anime

save anime

lost to girl sitting

yeah sure

But why did it sell less BD than Guild handler tho? And it didn't collab with USJ, unlike JJK and Freiren either. And he has less fanart than Chalia Bull in Gcucks.

3dcg cancer

This is why the industry needs a korean hero

just give them strong chins and aura

Being shit at writing character development is fine bro

Japan doesn't, loser foreveralones do.
Anon, you are aware that the protagonists of most big popular titles are nothing like that right? Apparently you just watch things for loser foreveralones apparently.

It is, which is why Japanese animes with beta loser protagonists are so successful.

To censor anime with Korean standard? Fuck off.... Korea cannot be black ship and Japan killer with such censorship. Korean webtoons and games cannot have bikinis. Korea bans bikini. Proof: Blue archive has no bikini since 2023. If BA gets bikini in 2025, I will break my sword. Pic rel is swimsuit not allowed in Korean and Chinese media.

It is

Nah

which is why Japanese animes with beta loser protagonists are so successful.

Ah, so you're complacent with shit just because another shit is stinker? Got it.

Yeah. They don't know who Gojo is. Gojo is more famous than Sung Jin Woo in Korea.

It's only a matter of time until the SK population decline situation will force a genocide of all feminists in the country, but they're already headed in the right direction with their displays of sigma chad masculinity, so it's more logical to place your chips on them

He and Tonji has plamodel while Sung Jin Woo cannot get a plamodel from Bandai for he lacks appeal and personality, and his 6.9cm shiv looks shitty for plamodel.

uhhhh no. Jin woo is actually better written than 99.9% of japanese protagonists like the ones in the op

This, these fags always ignore the characters that are actually most popular. No one gives a shit about the characters in the OP, nor could list their names without looking it up. Goku, Light, Lelouch, Ichigo, Luffy, etc., are all immediately recognized and famed.

But why cannot Blue archive have bikinis since 2023 if Korea is being based? Fact that Korea bans bikini unchanges. No gravure mags in Korea since president Moon destroyed them.

He's shit that's slightly less stinky, as I already said.

Why can't Japan have badass masculine alpha males like Jin Woo? Same reasons. The real question is what are YOU going to do about it? Nothing pussy. Keep buying plastic baby toys

Apparently nips are threatened by manly acting Chads so need pussies like them to feel comfortable.

Why cannot Jinwoo get plamodel from Bandai unlike Bocchi, Goku, Kitasan, Tonji tho?

Because Japan fears the Korean alpha male.

Gojo says else. He is mediocre, but powerful. Gojo has more fanart than Sung Jin Woo.

"slightly more" is all you need to start exponential growth

How to explain Solo leveling lacking fanart? Even Koreans draw more Gojo Satoru than this gay twink.

How to explain Solo leveling not being popular even in Korea tho, according to not being trended on Korean twitter, and not being ranked in Namuwiki search? Are Koreans being Chigyus too?

Yeah I don't recognize most of the characters in that image but the characters you list, my boss who doesn't even watch anime would recognize half of them. These are Darth Vader-tier well known characters.

I'm not sure why people keep thinking that kind of stuff is so insanely popular, at the end of the day what's popular is indeed Dragon Ball, Death Note, Code Geass, Bleach, and One Piece.

calling any character a gay twink while sucking off gojo of all fucking characters

KWAB. People watch Solo Leveling for the badass masculine fight scenes, people watch JJK to flick their fujo bean to the gay men all over the screen. Porn gets more fanart.

Does Char Aznable count?

No girl is a lesbian in Jin Woo's presence btw.

I used to hate Solo Leveling and Sung Jin-woo, but now I love them.
Godspeed, my fellow homophobes.

Deez niggas zesty af dats wat no pussy do a mf aaaa

fears

They don't even know he exists. He's irrelevent. Hell for all the bragging from koreans about how his "anime" broke records, no one talks about it. There's no fan engagement, there's no discussion, there's no depth, there's literally nothing. Dragon Ball, a show people watch for the fights generates a bunch of discussion and fan engagement. Even SAO generated a fuck ton of fan engagement and discussion. SL on the other hand has nothing.
We also saw when the korea shills got their own board it was deader than an OD'd hooker.
So for what the shills are calling the "AOTY" or "AOTD" and so on. NOT A SINGLE SOUL WANTS TO ENGAGE WITH THE SERIES.

muh fan discussion

Kino speaks for itself and doesn’t need the cacophony of thousands of horny virgins squealing like pigs while fapping. When Jin Woo speaks, men listen.

Kino speaks for itself

SL sales are through the floor

Desperate begging for supporting the official BD release so they can get Season 3

Despite all the shilling that went on

It really does and it says SL is not kino.

I HATE YURI

Vincent van Gogh was a “failure”, fortunately history is not measured in spilled gallons of Japanese virgin cum.

Van Gogh was a "failure" because he made avant-garde pieces that weren't traditional in terms of art.
SL is the exact opposite of that. It's generic, by-the-numbers with no unique points to make it stand out. It's just another generic series with video game elements.
Van Gogh was appreciated after his death as art evolved and more people could see what he had made for what it was. SL will never get that treatment because there isn't any depth or value to it.

No, SL is under-appreciated because it doesn’t put pussy sex boobs ass all over the screen, it’s a groundbreaking work of art that speaks directly to warriors, of which there are none in Japan. People presently and futurely will look back on SL as the “beta mc killer”.

New season not happening despite successful ones are not rare.
It shows how corrupt and lazy the producers are.

People presently and futurely will look back on SL

futurely

LMAO. Also didn't you just say that no one talking about it was good?
So how will there be people looking back on it when no one talks about it? It's already been forgotten since it was just a seasonal thing.
It didn't break any new ground, it didn't catch anyone's attention. It was just another generic "totally not isekai" with video game shit.
Things people look back on fondly ARE TALKED ABOUT AND DISCUSSED.

AHHHH!!! I AM SILLY!!!!!! The influence of SL’s male MCs is undeniable regardless of the amount of people loudly masturbating to porn. You are literally measuring it in the amount of corporate plastic toy collaborations, porn images produced, and sales. You are a soulless consumerist automaton with no divine light. Solo leveling is an experience, it doesn’t waste space with “discussions” about the character’s LGBTQ statuses or which loli ass the MC wants to cum on the most.

porn images produced

The true sign of a retard, assuming that when someone says fanart they mean porn.
Even DBZ and dogshit like Naruto had people drawing "kino moments" from the fight scenes, the moments that stood out to them. SL doesn't have anyone wanting to draw those moments.
On a different note, why is it that when you hear fanart you think it means porn? Is it because you know no one actually likes the series and it's all bots? For an MC that's supposedly "such a massive chad" that everyone looks up to, no one wants to draw him? The greatest warriors of mankind were all looked upon and drawn by their fans and the public. They were icons.
So why is kpop faggot not being drawn? Stop thinking about the women for a second and explain why no one even wants to draw the MC looking cool or as you retarded faggots say "aura farming."

cucked faggot girlboy protag inserted into unfunny slice of life clone

surrounded exclusively by girls

gets forced to crossdress in one episode

will never touch a female at any point in his entire life

comes from a country where everyone has almost completely ceased reproducing

Pic only semi-related, this is basically every Japanese anime protagonist now

no I dropped SL mid 1st season

fpbp

OP here I dropped SL ironically because Jinwoo is a spinless coward. Rememeber when he got into a trap in which his team members tried to kill him and take his stuff? He was trying to avoid confrontation untill the last moment in which his God forced him to kill them with a message. I hate that kind of stuff in which MC is saved by author from having to make a difficult decision. And I remember the dungeon overseers were dumb as hell. He should have been busted for killing them which would also been an interesting plot but again he's saved by author by force limiting intelligence of other characters to 0.

You're an idiot, you're bitching that an MC slaughters humans for once because he doesn't entirely take credit for the kill, he gets that message for everything, and he then goes on to immediately kill another human anyway. He does get "found out", but by the guy's brother, not the overseers.

huh? loser? like are you kidding? have you seen their harems?

Leg extensions and plastic surgery

So they all want to be Jack Hanma?
