Finding out an Anime Character is privileged

Seems like every time there is a hard working anime character they turn out to be the most overpowered character in the show

“We looked you up on ancestry you’re part god” TOOK ME OUT 😂😂😂

"He can beat Will Smith?"

So he was the one starting trouble in Smith's neighborhood.

*Main Character:* "I hear you. I understand your argument, and you bring up some good points. BUT, might I direct your attention to this swing I sat alone in for a few years?"
"Darn it! He's clearly completely countered my entire argument, somehow!"

Tbf I don't hate the concept of MC being special people/ chosen ones. What I hate are characters who are portrayed like underdogs but are basically the most privileged in their stories.

[gadielphilip]

"shut up you're the chosen one this is part of your destiny" Lol, this got me rolling

[adurzite]

MC: I got all these powers on my own by working hard
Plot Armor: *DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFICED?!?!?*

[boringbone]

This is also the same main character that lectured an early rival character about how talent and genetics doesn't mean anything and he should just work harder lmao

When a character's whole central theme is overcoming hardship, turning liabilities into advatages, and persevering despite being treated as worthless and incapable of success, and then--just before the character's determination, skill, and emotional support from a close-knit circle of unlikely friends (who each originally opposed the character until they worked together to overcome some past trauma) brings the character to point of finally achieving their ultimate goal that the whole fucking series has been leading up to--said character is revealed to actually have been the reincarnation of anime jesus and also was born as a direct descendent of the legendary hero who's bloodline bestows the power to always acchieve their dreams no matter what and also their mentor was secretly their father who is also the lord of hell itself and couldn't help directly so they manipulated every event behind the scenes in order to ensure that the character would become god-emperor of the universe. All of the struggle with none of the credit! And don't you dare complain, you boring, overpowered protagonist! None of your past suffering is valid anymore! 🎉

...Okay I guess this trope bothered me more than I realized.

[emptymelodies]

Guy in the crowd getting his heart broken by his hero freakin killing me lol

[pj_spirit]

Can’t forget they’re also taught by all 7 of the best teachers in the world who are literally the only people capable of guiding him. And they’re teamed up with people who everyone already knew were gifted from the start and were the creme of the crop from the start

[Flipcrash]

Deku: Through hard work you can be the best quirkless #1 Hero
Audience: Were you not given 9 quirks with powers multiplied trough the generations

[shinobix]

"Whatchu don't respect me no more?"
"I don't"

Caught me offguard

[daborshy]

"Part-everything" is basically Ichigo in a nutshell

[zgamer]

This is the greatest villain origin story that's ever been told

[tommyfanzfloppydisk]

" i had no powers and yet i became a great hero "
_bro you got the most op power gifted to you and you went to the most privileged private heroes school in the country_

[somedudewatchintv]

Anime in general seems to be fond of the secret prince sort of trope. Hardly anyone comes from a regular family getting good at the regular techniques until they come out on top it's always a super powerful family line and the most special powers that no one could compete with. It really does take away from the story when all the best and most powerful have to come from a Neverending dynasty that everyone just has to learn to bow to each generation.

"oh he's turning against us... and nobody can stop him because he's part everything" 😂😂💀💀

[mathewricafrente]

This is the priviledged main character's corruption arc

[evowizard]

You know, I really find this funny because having your heroes be 'privileged' goes all the way back to ancient times. With heroes being related to gods and awesome heroes of the past. The sons and daughters of kings/Emperors. Having super special abilities and weapons, etc.

[easolinas]

Somehow I imagine this as being how fantasy politicians would spin themselves. "I'm just like you common mortals... sure, I'm part deity and part demon and blah blah blah, but I am JUST LIKE YOU."
