What was the first shounen battle series

Is Saint Seya the gayest shounen battle series ever?

>Manga has said to exist since the eighteenth century, but originally did not target a specific gender or age group. By 1905, however, a boom in publishing manga magazines occurred, and began targeting genders as evidenced by their names, such as Shōnen Sekai, Shōjo Sekai, and Shōnen Pakku (a kodomo manga magazine). Shōnen Sekai was one of the first shōnen manga magazines, and was published from 1895 to 1914.

Probably some that we don't know.

Yes.

>>120159550
Gayer than Jojo?

>>120159694
By miles. There's a part where one dude literally thaws the other by rubbing his body against him.

>>120159694
Jojo is gay in a cool way, Saint Seiya is gay in a gay way.

Hey there, /v/.

Jojo is gay but for heterosexuals, just like shotas/traps and cute feminine dicks. It seems gay, but it is straight as can be,

VERY gay.

But then Omega dared to make a girl a main character, and for a while THE main character.

I can only guess people didn't like that, so she was bumped down to useless in the second season.

Hey come on, the original series had girls... well, suffering girls destined to suffer for eternity, but still girls, right?

She got way more beaten up than the average main character. We even joked about Yuna having her own brand of ryona, while the anime was airing.

>>120160046
We called her "Yuna of the Suffering" for a reason, anon.

What a majestic son of a bitch.

>>120160046
The fans didn't like anything from Omega, except maybe Aries Kiki and Sagittarius Seiya, the latter was popular for the first time on the entire history of the franchise

>>120160169
>>120160211
Wasn't she also tentacle raped at the end of the first season?

>>120160046
I'm pretty sure people didn't like her because every one of her fights was 2 episodes of suffering. When she went to fight Amor, some people even skipped straight ahead, because it was more episodes of her getting the shit stomped out of her.

Shaka was super straight, at least.

The homolust make sense because it was supposed to be modeled after the homosocial ancient greek structure.

tbh Shiryu had some top homolust and he was one of the straightest.

He was always so eager to take his armor off.

>>120160313
Omega couldn't sell the sadomasochism at all, despite it's one of the basic foundations of the SS franchise. When Kouga and co raised during the final fight against Saturn, 2ch mocked them by calling them zombies.

>>120160531
Kind of funny he's the one that winds up with a woman the most often. In both Next Dimension (You know Kurumada's gonna die before he finishes that thing) and Omega, he's with Shunrei, for real.

He learned it from his master

>>120160550
Even if Seiya was almost the same shit, Yuna took it to unbearable levels. It was always 2 episodes of her getting the crap beaten out of her, and then she did her attack and defeated the opponent.

At least Seiya put up more a fight.

Every. Fucking. Fight.

>>120160688
Maybe they were trying to make Yuna likable and give her more screentime, taking in consideration that Yoshida never watched SS while she had a large experience with magical girls and Yuna was the producer's waifu.

>muh waifu endure so much pain
>muh waifu so brave and perseverant
>you want to protect muh waifu, right?

Unfortunately, this is omega so everything went wrong, except for the waifufags that wanted to lick Yuna's tights.

>>120160744

That girl can take a punch.

The only thing gay about Saint Seiya was Shun
He was also the strongest

>>120160975
She deserves it for episode 21, we all know this.

>>120159316
Something like Astro Boy, probably.
That's excluding shit before Rakuten Kitazawa, though.

My first shounen battle anime was dragon ball. (NOT Z)

>>120160744
She is the perfect soulmate for Touma
