    Been a while since I read Death Note, but I'm pretty sure that Light didn't trade half of his life for the Shinigami's Eyes. Misa did, and it was the Shinigami that was connected to Misa that killed L. It was planned by Light, since he knew that said Shinigami wouldn't let Misa come to harm. But Light didn't _directly_ kill L with the Death Note.

      @@theweebcommander​​⁠Good afternoon NC, I just had a genuine question I wanted to ask you. I know you don’t like Sasuke and its fine you feel that way, but for what reason do you like Vegeta more when they share a lot in common. Both of them were initially stronger then the protagonist and got upset when they were surpassed by them. Both of them wanted revenge against those who wiped out their kin and had their goals change multiple times in the series. Both of them were considered genius prodigies with incredible talent. Both of them are not present for large chunks of the series. Both of them had intentions at one point or the other to kill the protagonist and did morally wrong things. Vegeta in fact killed main cast members and millions+ more of people, even killing people during the Buu arc when he had already joined the Z-fighterz. We all mostly forgive Vegeta and love him, but he still was a villain and acted villainously and selflessly for most of DBZ even when he had switched sides. I think the reason you dislike Sasuke is because Sasuke had a negative character arc going from hero to villain and on the other hand you like Vegeta because he had a positive character arc( with some lapses and regression) from villain to hero. Both Sasuke and Vegeta are in the same place now as heroes with goals of protecting their families and friends, so I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the characters in relation to one another.

    Wano in my opinion certainly puts zoro higher. But I would argue that zoro is the only one in one piece you can apply this to except for maybe cobi but that is a stretch.
    He is the vice captain, when luffy falters zoro takes command, when luffy turns away from his dream for whatever reason zoro will give up his dream for luffy's

      He not the secondary main character kobey is. If you don't think that then just remember that zoro, and sanji are both the wings of the pirate king ( luffy) so that mean that sanji would also be the secondary main character.

    • @chimera6485
      @chimera6485 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@thejinxedcat3616 First calling sanji a secondary main character isn't a stretch, I just think he is less so then zoro and least post wano. And you mention them being called the wings of the pirate king, but zoro is the right hand. It is like calling king and queen equal in rank and importance when king is clearly above queen and kaido treats them as such.
      As for kobi I said maybe kobi because he haven't seen much for him at all, he has given us a handful of glimpses into the marines and so far has been pretty unimportant to the story. So as of right now he is not a secondary character but he could be later which is why I mentioned him.

    • @thejinxedcat3616
      @thejinxedcat3616 ปีที่แล้ว

      The problem is that the length of one piece makes kobey seem unimportant but he is show every arc, either in cover stories or just in a chapter recap of the outside world.
      The reason zoro can’t be a duodrogonist is that he is under the main character in both position and strength. At no point has it been in question if zoro was equal or keeping up with Luffy because zoro is under him. This means that zoro can’t push Luffy to be better. Or do anything (he has never lead the crew outside of fights and he is just a swordsman) people like to say that he’s vice captain but he isn’t he has no position over the crew.

    • @chimera6485
      @chimera6485 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@thejinxedcat3616 at the beginning of one peice zoro was stronger then luffy up until gear second.
      Putting that aside, you are mistaken. Let us look back to water 7 when ussop turned against the crew and fought luffy. Zoro is the one who kept them together. That is his role as vice captain, when luffy falters zoro immediately steps on to keep it together. He keeps luffy on track.
      Fast forward to the famous nothing happened incident, zoro could have continued fighting with the help of sanji but he didn't, luffy would have certainly but what zoro did was he put sanji down and took the sacrifical spot for the crew.
      Why do I say this makes him the secondary man character? Because he did it for luffy, you said zoro can't push luffy to be stronger which i think is incorrect but that is a separate topic, what zoro does is he pushes luffy to his goal. More then any other character zoro keeps luffy moving forward and that is what a duodrogonist is supposed to do narratively. Yes sasuke made naruto want to get stronger but getting stronger wasnt the goal, it was the means to the end of getting sasuke back, there was a narrative goal, zoro keeps luffy on the narrative goal.

    So...as a Deuterogonist, where would Bakugo land? #8? #9? Because, and I know this is my bias for MHA showing, I think he fits in that category of being a good foil for the main MC for the first half of the story then advances to be the the rival to beat, then finally becomes the one person, besides All Might, what kind of burden and mentality Deku has from start to the current time in the manga.

      Potentially, he would be above Kawaki and maybe Genos if the Todorokis and OFA/AFO users weren't holding the narrative hostage. If his growth and improvement weren't mere footnotes in arcs that were about either Izuku's physical and technical improvement or Enji's emotional development and accepting responsibility for the consequences of his actions, then he would've been a great deuteragonist and rival for Izuku.

    This may be a bit basic but I always liked Deku and Bakugou's rivalry because it feels the most genuine in that people you grew up with can abandon you for higher social standing because kids are inherently shallow and being praised and hailed for being popular or cool makes people addicted to that feeling of superiority while those without it can actually make more genuine friends.
    And that when maturity happens through continuing life and its unexpected occurrences, you slowly get humbled by the simple act of being put in an environment where everyone's equally strangers to one another.
    And then through further hardship Bakugou reconnects with and grows more open to people about his thoughts and feelings, and this bridges a gap between what inferiority complex he had towards Deku, now he sees that they can be friends again while Bakugou now has the final hurdle of holding himself responsible to his past abuse of Deku AS HE SHOULD even as Deku hasn't ever taken those words to heart even if they have effected his subconscious to be seeing himself as not worth noticing.
    Like people make a big deal about him telling Deku to kill himself
    but well kids of his age can be like that, they don't know the weight of their words or actions especially when its failed to be taught to them by society or their parents, so it usually takes a big bruise to the ego to make them more cautious and in that state they can eventually change themselves for the better.
    Bakugou's character is like a perfect humanization of past rival archetypes like Sasuke or Vegeta, no fantasy backstory circumstance required, he's just a kid like deku who wants to be a superhero, but his reasons led him to be a bully because he prides himself with his skill and talents which are popular and attractive traits in their world.

    Kawaki being essentially in-canon retconned to be Naruto's son almost feels like meta storytelling, as the fandom *wanted him* to be Naruto's son. At least, Kawaki acted and seemed like what Naruto's son should have been, and the fandom wouldnt let it go for the longest time. I firmly believe that as the time skip goes on, Kawaki will definitely become a fan favorite and one of the best things to come out of the sequel series.
    Zoro is also a great pick, he is an all time GOATED character in anime. Is he too self-serious at times? Yes. Does he expect too much from his friends at times? Yes. But has Zoro stolen the hearts of One Piece and anime/manga fans throughout the decades? *Most definitely.*
    And L! Oh god, it's been a LONG time since I've watched Death Note. I need to go back and watch it again. Light is one of the best MC's ever, but that is partly due because L was such a massive part in going wits to wits with Light. Had L known about the Death Note and the rules from the beginning, he almost definitely would have outplayed Light. As that was what made their beef so good to watch, it was a game of 3D chess to Light and L, only with their lives on the line.
    Sasuke obviously deserves to be on the list, i can go on about how he deserves to be on here, but you put him on your list despite despising the guy. Respect.
    Yuno and Asta almost feel like a carbon copy of Naruto and Sasuke, and that's mainly because... they are. They arent exactly the same, but the basic characteristics and outline of their dynamics are the same. Black Clover is technically the skeleton of Naruto, but made into it's own story and deserves to be recognized as an amazing story in it's own right. So damn good and im glad that Yuno is recognized as much as he is. Yuno isnt Sasuke, Yuno is what Sasuke *should have been* and that is what makes him amazing.

    A couple of things about the Death Note part. 1st L is not the deuteragonist and definitely not the protagonist, he’s the antagonist with Light as the protagonist. L is opposing Light and is therefore the antagonist, Light being “Evil” and L being “good” doesn’t make them an antagonist or a protagonist . L doesn’t really belong on the list. Second, as mentioned by others, Light did not half his lifespan and did not directly kill L. That was done by Misa’s shinigami Rem.

    One of my favorite moments that showcase Killua and Gon's friendship, is the dodgeball game.
    Gon being the only one that possesses the raw strength to hit and overpower Razor, NEEDS Killua to hold the ball while Gon focuses his power. Gon knows that the force of his hits are breaking Killua's hands, but he also *understands* that Killua will stop at nothing to help him. Gon knows that Killua isnt upset about his hands being damaged and Killua is the only person present with the toughness to handle the pain of his broken hands repeatedly being broken even further.
    Killua understands that winning that dodgeball game is needed to beat Greed Island, but furthermore, Killua understands that Gon wouldn't be happy without beating Razor and *learning about his Father.* Killua wasn't only shouldering the pain of his broken hands, Killua was shouldering and supporting Gon's deepest desire and Killua wants his bestfriend to be happy.

Because Gon already proved that he would face an entire family of world renowned assassins to free Killua. They would both put their lives on the line for each other, so when Gon is being selfish, you don't mind as much as you would otherwise.

    Holy hell!! That's a good analysis of Boruto. I just thought Kawaki hated the Ototsuki, therefore, any Ototsuki he wanted to kill. Which gives potential to his line "end of shinobi" which model themselves after an Ototsuki.
    Luffy and Zoro relationship:
    "A hero shares his food but I want all the meat!"
    "A hero shares his saki but I want all the saki!"

    Cause at least to me, he’s pretty boring, he doesn’t have much of a character to stand on his own, and is only really hype when hes with asta. He feels less like a character and more like a powerful plot device to balance out the playing field against the overpowered villains. Even when we get his backstory not much changes about him aside from a power up. Other deuteragonist on this list have a story of their own that plays off the protagonist but Yuno’s whole identity is Asta’s pretty boy rival.

He is luffy's partner and sanji is his.

That would be Blackbeard and who is more a perfect foil in terms of all these aspects. Luffy goes for the straight path while BB will not think twice to use others and deception. Coby is more of the foil to the entirety of Marine/World Government. But really, Zoro is the perfect deuteragonist. The "foil" part is often seen when it comes to how Luffy views his crew/nakama and how zoro views them when it comes to their objectives. Luffy is often soft to his nakama but zoro is always strict. Zoro is never taking things lightly when it comes to responsibility. And Zoro keeps Luffy in line when it comes to their dreams.

    Its a shame Nick hasn't read Steel Ball Run,
    Gyro Zepelli and Johny depict the best ever written friendship in the history of Animanga. Gyro is the best deuteragonist in any animanga ever written.
    Its a shame how little people know about jjba and how most of its beauty is lost through memes.
    Especially in SBR, which has so much serious undertone than we are led to believe,
    Under the mask of memes, lies the Gyro, a man who is impressed by Johny's determination, but also scared that Johny's Eyes show Death.
    The time they spend together is genuinely the most chill JJBA has ever been.
    It all comes circling back to us in final moments, just how much Gyro mean to Johny, when Gyro is killed by Valentine, but Johny instead of giving a Typical Shounen bitch-like Protagonist Scream(like Luffy), Johny just stands there, unable to believe what just happened, he huffs and puffs to the point of hyperventilating and softly says "Gyro..."
    And cemented by the fact that moments prior to this, Gyro just laid down the foundation of using Perfect infinite rotation to overcome Love train, which Johny follows and beats Valentine cuz of that, this shows how incredibly important Gyro's role is in SBR.
    As, unlike traditional Shounens, JJBA's characters actually give it their all (Life included) to necessitate their friend's victory.
    I could put Bucciarati, Jotaro or even Koichi here, but if I had to choose one deuteragonist from jjba to put on no.1 spot, it would be Gyro.🗿🗿
