What Makes a Good Anime Character?

After seeing some silly bait over on Twitter (or X) about "gifted" vs "hardworking" anime characters I decided to throw my hat into the ring and share my thoughts on the topic. Sound off in the comments on whether or not you agree, I always love reading them!

putting tanjiro in gifted if a crime bro trained for 2 years straight

[@wombat4583]

Two years really isn't that long.

[@Igiveptsd]

Then you go train in
A mountain for 2 years

[@randomdude6446]

​@@IgiveptsdIf someone ungifted did the same thing, they wouldn't have achieved nearly as much. He did a great job building on his foundation, but on a fundamental level, that foundation will always be talent.

[@Igiveptsd]

Part talent part work he is derived from sun breathers

[@randomdude6446]

@@Igiveptsd I know that's my point

[@braydenleaderofthetirkins1143]

100%!
Even as someone that doesn’t like Demon Slayer that much, Tanjiro had 2 (technically 3 if you count to mountain qualifications) training arcs in season 1. The rock splitting training & the breathing training in the last few episodes. The people making this Twitter bait need to find a hobby…

[@actuallyitsandre3771]

Tanjiro's hands are perpetually scraped and calloused don't play with my boy

[@nicwithnok]

EXACTLY!

[@Kanaotsuyuri924.]

bro people be saying that im gifted only because im good at drawing and they don't know how many hours I've been looked in my room drawing and fixing my mistakes and still they say that im gifted !!!!!

[@nicwithnok]

Exactly! Everything takes time and practice to perfect

[@acomfyslugcat]

I'm gonna paraphase a good quote from a youtube video here: Gifted is a termed often used by someone who showed up of day 647 thinking that this means that you were naturally simply better on day 1.

[@MrBonessss]

Putting Zoro in gifted is a federal offense.

[@kanishqsharma8356]

Yup bro asked his target (mihawk) to train him .

[@mikeval1525]

I just call it twitterX.

[@JustJC02]

man I'm enjoying your videos right now.

[@nicwithnok]

That's awesome! Glad you enjoy it!

[@The.Mr.Gambler]

​@@nicwithnokI don't really agree with your gojo take 75 talent 25 gifted since he had to go through death to learn rct the gifted parts from his luck of genetics

[@notzekeshine]

Another amazing video from the goat! I personally would put asta in hard-working

[@nicwithnok]

Glad you enjoyed it! I haven't seen Black Clover so I can't say 😅

[@notzekeshine]

@nicwithnok I would say he is kinda in the same boat as Deku. He trained super hard before getting his anti magic ability even after getting he continued to train hard

[@AudreyMiles-ey6pp]

I like your vids keep it up

[@nicwithnok]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos!

[@MeltyVampire]

Imo you cant call yourself naturally talented to do youtube then say you had to study for years to learn it.

[@nicwithnok]

That’s literally what talent is. Having a natural knack for something while also putting the effort in to get more skilled

[@MeltyVampire]

@nicwithnok I don't ever hear those two being used in the same sentence especially when the video itself is about the concept of hard work vs talent but that's just me

[@saadsami8860]

Saitama hard work ☠️☠️☠️☠️

[@lyebatenkaitosofgluttony2452]

If you've read One Punch Man you would know that Saitama is described to us as a completely ordinary individual who only achieved his great power by pushing himself to his absolute limit time and time again. He was a completely ordinary person before he became the One Punch Man.
