Luffy is the best DESIGNED shounen protagonist. Prove me wrong.

Natsu has PINK HAIR and still looks better than any Odashit character.

Every pre seinen jojo protag except Johnathan is better designed.

I agree. The only character who comes close is Kid goku from dragon ball.

>>161611489
Young Joesph design makes it hard to tell him apart from Jonathan. I'd argue that's a weak design. Every other one is great.

Yep, even araki has mentioned how he wished he made him look more unique to Jonathan, but he was designed like so due to keeping readers invested in the story, as killing a protag in the 80's was the usual

Too bad his new designs for Joseph and Jonathan are both total garbage, but I guess he was unsatisfied with their original ones

Personally, Joseph was the best Joestar so I forgave his design for that reason and came to love it but I can understand changing Jonathan

c'mon buddy. i like hxh but gons design is as generic as they come. not even the best protagonist design from togashi by a country mile

>>161619782
I think Johnny boy's redesign is an improvement because it makes him actually look like someone born into a wealthy family.
His old Kenshiro look never made much sense outside of being a parody

>>161611074
I'd argue of all the slim "boyish" protags, Luffy's the best for your money.

For muscular protags, it has to be Jotaro. Shit Jojo as he may be, his design is completely iconic.

And for small stature protags, young Goku. Toriyama's style worked better when it was softer.

>>161623631
Toriyama makes me paranoid for my own art, truly made me realize it is possible to get worse. A lot worse.

The straw hat and scar under his eye are iconic, but his clothes are not really that memorable in the same way Goku's or Usagi's are.

Right? I mean Z designs are okay but the first Dragon Ball's design had a special charm to it.

not even dragon ball fag but goku has the best design by a far amount
