- Gabimaru from Jigokuraku or Hell's Paradise is in my opinion the best character I've read from recent shonen.

Idk why but Gabimaru’s perseverance and drive to be with his wife was so compelling. It was so simple yet beautiful to see. Him overcoming most challenges in his way just to get back to someone who might not exist. Definitely one of my favorite protagonists
the ending with them just living happy and peaceful (with the confirmation that yui DOES exist) is honestly one of the most comforting and wholesome endings i’ve seen in a manga that’s rife with violence and killing, and the fact that a guy who’s like dead inside and yearns for death found a purpose and reason in living because of a person he loves is just beautiful. those panels near the end with him just sleeping and finally being comfortable and safe in their home is really sweet. for the few panels yui has been featured in, it’s so nice to see how she’s presented to be so likeable and just an overall calming presence that most people yearn for in life and relationships. their relationship is the epitome of peak domesticity and the ideal of a happy married life with the person you love the most in the world. it’s a breath of fresh air among the other mangas where unnecessary drama are added in to create tension. he loves his wife wholeheartedly, and only has eyes for her, and he never fails to mention that. it’s the type of understated romance with stability and security with both individuals that i wish to see more not only in shonen manga, but other genres tbh. i envy that kind of love so much.
I like Gabimaru more than Itadori and Denji, but all three of them are great shonen MC’s in my eyes (I really like Deku and Asta too, since you mentioned it, but they’re nothing to the Hollow imo). The ending they gave him is one of the most satisfying endings I’ve seen in shonen, definitely for a shonen MC at least imo 👍
Deku and asta are okay but denji Yuji and gabimaru are on another tier
@@angelgomez7081 I think Asta to this point is a high B tier protagonist, and Deku is a solid A tier protagonist. All imo 👍 as for Yuji and Denji I’d put both in S, but on the much lower spectrum (not because I don’t think they’re great, I’ve just seen a bit better imo like Yusuke, Kenshin, Ichigo, Eren, Gabimaru, Mob, Gon, Luffy, Naruto, Light, Edward, etc etc)
Deku 🤢🤮🤮
@@baderhh9928 hey if you disagree that’s cool I respect your opinion regardless 👍
@@baderhh9928 It's the fandom, not the series. Yeah, MHA is flawed, but it's universe has amazing potential, and most of the character designs also have a lot of potential and uniqueness to them, even side-characters (With a few tweaks to hero outfits and names of course-)
But then you look at the fandom and realize why MHA has gotten so much flak directed towards it. I'm ashamed to even say I even remotely like the series. I agree with you on the 🤢🤮🤮part wholly 100%
Out of all “new gen” I’d say Hells Paradise easily has the best cast of characters as of now. The way the cast is so well fleshed out and developed in 127 chapters is nuts. Not to mention the beautiful themes and narratives executed.
no character in new gen is better than shigaraki or even on par with him.
@@deren2365 this a blatant lie, as well as considering if Shiggys conclusion gets messed up. As well as when I say “cast of characters”, that’s means overall, which overall Hells Paradise cast of characters is more well written than MHA casts.
@@epic8413 maybe but shiggi abasloutley stomps all of them. and no his conclusion dosent get messed up at all have u read chapter 379 lol he literallly defeats all for one.
@@deren2365 bro that’s not even a conclusion, that’s just another development. And yes there’s potential his conclusion gets messed up cuz of the way the final arc is going. If it ends in anyway without Shiggy dying it’s gonna like Obito getting Talk no jutsu’d. Shiggy is literally a mass murder and is no way able to be redeemed at this point. Also just to name a few characters on par with Shiggy, try Gojo, Makima, Yuji and then the potentially other riding antags coming up. Shiggy might have his spot now, but depending on the competition he has AND how the final arc is going, might be dethroned.
@@epic8413 man said makima💀 why the hell would anyone want shigaraki being redeemed thats like the dumbest thing i have heard. he truly exists only to destroy."tenko shimura and shigaraki tomura only have one wish. to destroy everything that has to do with that house" he has already became one with tenko. thats already hinting at his conclusion of not being redeemed.
Hell’s Paradise is such a great story and it has such an interesting lore and power system, probably one of my favorites I’ve come across. For some reason that I can’t explain though Shion is the best character of the manga for me. We need more shounen manga, and manga in general, like this one, seriously.
Also very high up there on the list of best characters from recent shounen are some of the characters from Vanitas no Carte (which is by the same mangaka as Pandora Hearts which I’m still waiting on a video of you for) and Kei Yonagi from Act Age (such a shame the creator of that one had to choose to be such a scumbag…)
When the news came out about the writer for Act Age, my foolish self thought to check out the manga out of somewhat morbid curiosity. I am now depressed every time I’m reminded of that series cuz it would’ve been great 🥲
Shion is such a good character. One of the pages that stayed with me was him saying through tears that "Even as I watched a loved one die, I made the right choice" and refusing to retreat from a life threatening battle because he had to watch a dear friend rush to his death in order to buy time, just so he could live. He is such an amazing character and one of the best in this already beautiful cast of characters
Gabimaru goes through such a good arc. He learns, against all odds, what is truly important in life. I really loved how he showed everyone in the end how much fighting it takes to keep some normalcy in life, especially when one's life has always been abnormal and horror incarnate.
This series will be amazing when it’s adapted
Hell yeah!
the schedule for the anime is fucked up so no
Yeah, it has that "this ir going to be a great anime" vibe
Mappa will ruin it
yeah can't wait
Thumbnail raw af. Gabimaru honestly goated and has one of the best mc introductions ever. "Damn i want to die but im too built different."
Honestly my fav among the called "dark trio". It's characters elevate the series to a different level from the rest
I have never heard of this story before or character. Thank you for the great video and looking forward to learning more about it.
Really good story, highly recommend reading it. Or wait for the anime, that’s gonna air some time this year too ^^
@@animusswtor4822 the anime airs this April such a great read im definitely hyped for the anime
This manga was a pretty good read. I also like Gabimaru because he maintains the “man on a mission” mood without feeling too serious. My only slight gripe with the manga is that around mid point the meridian stuff felt a bit too lengthy. Hopefully the anime will find a way to balance that bit out with more action scenes or something.
I thought the manga had too many action scenes, if they add any more...
@@sophisticatedtwat9160 ikr, the 2nd half is literally just one big fight, split between the characters
The mid bit of pure calm is necisary cus its litterally calm before the BIG HUMONGOUS CHUNKY DISASTEROUS storm
Great video and wholehearted agree with you. What I personally love about Gabimaru is his tenderness. He's a scary good killer, absolutely, but also an emotionally gentle person. It's all because his wife was able to show him unconditional compassion. The beauty of his character is that even if he's a killer, even if he possesses a dark history, he can bring happiness into the world and others can bring a little light into his world.
Gabimaru really is a lost gem
I'm surprised the series hasn't popped off in the west, love this story
@@clementinelives hopefully when the anime drops everyone in the west gets on it. Happened with JJK, happened with KNY, so maybe it’ll happen again
@@NinthShinigami yup that's true
@@NinthShinigami yeah i do hope so!!
@@NinthShinigami kny?
Hells paradise is a great series to collect because, the volumes go up to 13, the covers are vibrant and some are actually painted, the story places a spin on the story of the fountain of youth by bringing inmates into it, and the spines look amazing
I am so glad you're making more videos about this. Picked up Jigokuraku because of you and it's my #1 of all time now. Can't wait for the show
Hell's paradise has a unique and beautiful style that's really hard to capture in new series these days. The fights, Techniques and power system is well thought out. Though the story, I admit, is kinda a repetition of what we've seen many times. I personally love the story and the conclusion.
Now this may be off topic but I'll never forgive Shonen Jump for Axing Ayashimon. Made by the same author of Jigokuraku. That series was beginning to become interesting and they botched it up.
I mean, which story is not a repeat of something that has already been done before nowadays? It’s the execution that matters and this one handled that perfectly I dare say ^^
@@animusswtor4822 I couldn't have worded it better.
Ayashimon was kinda wack ngl
@@animusswtor4822 There are some stories that aren't repetition of ancient one, even today
Fr they axed a series that had the trope of an old bum knowing the secret to unleashing inner potential power. There are only two other series I know of that do this well, spawn and 20th century boys
Just binged the whole manga a week ago. Gabimaru's development (and also Sagiri) was definitely the highlight, as well as the slightly paintedly looking art.
I just wish the last few chapters were more fleshed out 😔. Ah well, hopefully mappa fixes that slight hiccup in the anime.
Glad it's getting more recognition and getting animated.
Masked is getting more & more based after every video. 🔥
Totally agree. I like how a lot of the newer shonen series feel more like the older darker series like Fist of the North Star and Claymore.
I just finished the manga and I love Gabimaru so much. Hes just such a total wife guy. Also this story is so deeply entrenched in love its so endearing to see despite it being part of the “Dark Trio”
Unlike most shonen mcs it actually makes you root for him, like would he able to see his wife? Is his wife even alive? Will he get to her in one piece? I mean it's those type of stories to just leave you with a bitter sweet conclusion.
Most shonen mcs you'll know there won't be much terrible happening to them cause you already know that guy will live to keep the series going so you'll end up rooting for side characters.
I read the entirety of the manga after I saw this video and I was pleasantly surprised. This was an incredibly great read.
"Just saw the 1 ep" GABIMARU GOAT!
I saw ALOT of kubo influence on the series. The empty background and the way he draws Gabimaru when he realizes there's something more to it.
As well the undertones or message as you said. Also my BLADE reflects the truth" SEEMS like a connection to "The Blade Is Me" sentiment
Also Gabimaru zabimaru
Kafka is my favorite new gen.
Obviously from my name I'm a bleach fan I loved the name
Im proud of Fujimoto sensei's assistant
Dandadan
Jigokuraku
SpyXfamily
They all got something that Tatsuki Fujimoto have, and its not just a experience
Fujimoto NEVER was a assistant for other people
He is not even good artist (his own words)
But this is a reason why we love Chainsawman
Fujimoto... Is strange, crazy, but he is normal for himself, he didn't try to become a "normie"
He is a freaking hydrogen bomb
He created Makima when he was in school
Denji is kinda like him
And fcking YES, HE CHANGED MY LIFE
So you admit that fujimoto self insert as denji ? At least he is honest with himself unlike other hacks
@@trigunn3414 I don't know Fujimoto, but based on his manga, Denji looks absolutely different
I’m still waiting on your Billy Bat review
I'm glad somebody gives Gabimaru the recognition he deserves.
The Hell's Paradise story is just okay but the characters are great.
How’s the villains and power system/fights?
@@sharebear421 Very good, it is a must read/ watch if you are a battle shonen fan.
Is Gabimaru Ulquiorra’s reincarnation?
True but that’s how most shonen are
@@Kakaragi not really, it's really Yin Yang "what is strength?" Vagabond type shi
Personally right now I enjoy Ken Takakura and Ayase Momo from Dandadan the most of any new ongoing shonen MCs. Although I do like Gabimaru and denji, but not a huge fan of yuji itadori.
I read jigokuraku a couple of years back, binged it in like 3 days or something like a madman, so I am so looking forward to the anime as I have forgotten the details of the story and the first episode already looks so good. definitely one of the most anticipated anime of the season. only downside is that its only 13 episodes and I hope they dont try to force an ending or something.
I finished reading the manga it was amazing Gabimura character arc was so satisfying, The whole cast of characters are awesome as well can't wait for the anime 🤟🏼🔥
Finally someone made a video about my favourite new gen character
More jigokuraku/hell’s paradise and Gabimaru recognition is always goated
Thanks for the recommandation. I'm now 3 chapters in and I've really been enjoying it.
ill say this when i read hells paradise ,jujutsu kaisen and chainsawn man in 2021-2022 gabi is my fav i love all three of them but that ending made me tear up seeing him finally rest and be with his wife made my day it makes me so happy seeing this ,manga get the shine it deserves
why i like gabimaru is because how close he is to killua i love a character who is born into expectations and live the life with it but mourning for their own identity and peace. Gon is like gabimarus wife being the thing that both characters cling too and their humanity
This is the best new manga besides Dandadan that I’ve read last year. Can’t wait to see its anime. The story was great!
Dandadan is pretty strange but solid. Still waiting for this invasion arcs chapters
i love seeing people proclaim more love for dandadan! it was a really fun read too!
The sickest series dude. The way gabimaru & aza chobe grit their teeth and push back against insurmountable odds, so hype every time. I know it's kind of a trope but it's just executed so well here. I'd say 9/10 without a doubt.
Dark trinity(chainsaw man,jujutsu kaisen and hell's paradise) are surprisingly very good,but short.
Love the music from House in Fata Morgana in the background!
*YEEEEEES SIR!* More hell’s paradise love with GOATbimaru
Manga Recommendation: Liar Game
If you love Monster you'll definitely love this one, just my opinion but idk
I haven't even watched your video and YES, i so agree. it's one of my favorite reads. one of those that you go looking for more like it to fill that void when you're done.
Record of Ragnarok was my first manga (thanks) but Jigokuraku was my first favorite manga and the whole reason I kept reading other series. It's the only one I actually own physical copies of. Gabimaru is unquestionably still one of my favorite characters and I'm so excited for the adaptation.
you might like Tenkaichi: Nihon Saikyou Bugeisha Ketteisen, its basically Record of Ragnarok but better. Instead of god vs human, its more of real life famous japanese and non japanese during sengoku period fight each other in death battle to decide who will be new Shogun.
Tiny spoiler alert, in this universe, Nobunaga managed to unite Japan under his rule.
Man, you started with really great ones. 🎉 Congrats
EPIC!!!!! AWESOME VIDEO BRO!!
THIFM ost in the background hits hard 😩
As a newly wed husband who who is currently apart from my wife because of outside circumstances that neither her or I could control.
I respect Gabimarou a great deal and sympathize with his predicament of returning to his wife.
Aww, I hope you and your wife shall one day soon reunite. When it comes to true love, you’ll always find a way to be connected once more one way or another!
@Youngling Maid thanks, we are working on it... just gotta go through the immigration process
@@Williamthe4th Aww, okay. I'm sure you two will be able to through the immigration process successfully and live together as a family!
@Youngling Maid thank you, by the looks of it it'll be about spring of next year is when the immigration will be complete
This was one of the best next gen manga I read courtesy of Masked. He knows his ish
Ichigo be slapping these new gens with TYBW
I’ve been enjoying my read of Hell’s Paradise. Can’t wait for the anime.
Fata Morgana ost in the background? Nice.
Gabimaru and Sakamoto are my favorite favorite badass new gen protags
And I am hyped for the anime
Sengoku Youko is def the most underrated shonen imo. I haven’t even finished reading it, but the amount of character development gets surpasses manga much longer.
Heres why Gabimaru is my fav... Im a grown ass man lol Im married and 34 and Gabimarus motivations just vibe with me way more
I just finished hells paradise for the first time last week and oh my gosh….I loved it so so much.
Honestly hell's paradise felt too short but at the same time it felt like if it was any longer then it wouldn't be as good.
yeah tho
same situation as the cartoon show gravity falls honestly. instead of being milked for some unnecessary plot points that would make the story nonsensical and convoluted and just twisting all over the place, i like it when authors recognize when to stop and wrap it up to completion. it makes for a bittersweet feeling where you want more but you also know that loose ends are tied up, and i prefer that than to be frustrated and grow boredom and dissatisfaction to hell’s end with super uber mega long arcs that aren’t needed.
love gabimaru also the ending of this manga was great
I kinda just read this then forgot about it until recently I heard it's getting animated
I am waiting for the anime because you have talked about it.
Didn't know what this series was til I saw this video. Can't wait for the anime to come out. The trailer looks very promising in terms of visuals
Please do a longer review on bastard.
It's my favourite manhwa.
I finished it in one day because i could not stop reading it
I love the characters in Hell’s Paradise, even the bad guy that I absolutely hated did things that made me go “whoa, this is so cool” lol
I love how nobody talks about Kny
Hells Paradise is like KnY for adults
Nobody huh? 🤣
i bilib in mommy yuzuriha supremacy
i like gabimaru, but i cant say i prefer him over other shonen characters i respect his conviction i just dont believe it really resonates with me i still enjoyed the video though
guess im gonna have to read hells paradise
thx!
i love hells paradise, read it all awhile ago, fell in love with it instantly
Remember
This guy's loyalty to his wife is so great, it still goes even when he's doubting her existence or just their relationship.
I heard or saw this was getting an amine soon, but now i wanna read it. This is the second essay singing praises on the MC.
Gabimaru literally sounds like Guts from Berserk!😂😎❤👍
Gotta love a good dichotomy.
Hells paradise has so many of my favorite new gen characters it's such a good story
the ost
i like how you change your pfp every other week
Agreed and speaking of pfps I love yours
I still haven't started or read Hells Paradise just decided to wait for the anime but that's a hefty claim there also I know you don't talk about drama or any of that stuff but I wonder what you think or feel about the whole Seth situation involving so many I still can't wrap my head around some of that crazy shit
If we are talking about "he is literally me"
So for it is Guts of course
But also Hyakkimaru from Dororo
I always cry in scene with "rock and waterfall"
Can’t wait to see this show . I don’t know anything about it but it seems sick
jigokuraku has been my favorite manga ever since i read it, so people finally talking about how good gabi is is cool
2:01 is that bloodborne music in the background? My brother🤝🤝🤝
GOATIMARU MOST UNDERATED IN THE DARK TRIO
Finally a hells paradise video
I really wanted ti get into Jigokuraku, the art's gorgeous and the monster designs were amazing but the logic leaps required for the plot and treatment of the female lead just put me right off it. The main character was indeed really cool though.
at the beggining where segere trys trys to kill gabimaru reminds me of the scene where snake trys to kill throfinn in vindland saga like on to one
Love Hells Paradise, Gabimaru is definitely underrated
Jigokuraku slaps
The reason I think Gabimaru is such a compelling character is because he *earned* his happy ending. He fought, quite literally, like his life depended on it, so he could get home to his wife.
Yes more love of hells paradise, this series has some of the best side characters in of recent and definitely the most consistent out the dark trio.
I've never read it, but based on this video, he sounds a lot like (not calling a copy of) Zabuza from Naruto.
A ninja raised in a village known for its hostility, depicted as an emotionless killer, who has been lying to himself about his emotions for another he pretended to only keep for their usefulness to him.
Which is why this (very underrated) quote from Zabuza seems to fit this MC: "Say what we will, do what we will. In the end we shinobi are still just people after all...with feelings all-too-human. And I've lost...everything"
Hmm, good comparison
Day 3 of pestering you until you read/make a video on Ai-Ren
He's my 2nd fav character
Denji is just the best 🗿just watching him is entertaining asf + his character development>>>>>>>
ngl I've dropped this manga 3-4 times but since I keep seeing people talking about it I'll try it again
I really recommend it. I really like it
eita bixo video novo
Hell's paradise needs more love. Doesnt get enough attention
Ya new gem is confusing and I mean hells paradise ended too. Also definitely noticed the hells paradise colour scheme with the new PFP
Man I love jigokuraku
First my boy
Gabimaru is Goated
bro just found it....bro the story was over in 2021 but anyway THIS VIDEO WAS SO GOOD ngl
I can’t wait to read it and watch it
The characters in Hell’s paradise are very good
What’s the music used in the video? It’s so good 🥹
it’s from the house in fata morgana, called the tragedy of michel bollinger
