Top Ten Best Anime Protagonists

Eren is the most realistic. His reactions just show how much willpower he has and it makes the whole series better.

He is less stereotypical than others

Sie sin dass, Essen? Nein wir sind die Jaeger! Shingeki no Kyojin or Attack on Titan's Eren Jaeger started off as a young boy who wanted to see the outside world and discover the many different places in Earth. But one day, right before his very eyes, he watched as the walls- that protected humans from titans for a hundred years-were destroyed and titans walked in and began eating people. he saw right infront of him as his own mother was eaten by a titan. The survivors were evacuated to the inner walls and not long that the place had trouble because of food shortage. he swore to become a soldier and join the Recon Corps to slay every titan. A few years later, he joined the military with his foster sister, Mikasa and his childhood friend, Armin. After their training, he joined the Recon Corps. Mysteries begin to unfold when he remembers about the key in the basement which his father kept for a long time and when they discovered that Eren had unusual titan-transforming powers.

He showed Vegeta and Frieza mercy! After all they did, all the people they killed, he gave them a second chance! Also, we watch him grow as a person, become a father, become a grandfather, and he saved the planet, what, more than 10 times? He even saved the entire GALAXY! Goku definitely would be at my number 1 favorite anime, no even character in anything.

Goku is the best

Inspiring, tough, creative, cheerful, happy, funny, kind, caring, pure-hearted, courageous, strong-willed, friendly, brave,… Simply epic. Goku is the best. He's number one! - Goku02

I'm assuming many people here hasn't seen FMA Brotherhood. To make things fair, neither have I. While Eren Jaeger and Rin Okumura make for good protagonists, I know for a fact that Edward Elric might not make for a protagonist with a character seen a lot in real life, but he is truly a special and noble one. Watch the series to see why. - listotaku17

Eren's trash compared to this guy! - TheDarkOne_221b

Ever since he was a child, he had a stubborn personality and people started calling him a 'demon'. He was frustrated about this because he didn't want to believe it. After a few years, he found out that he is indeed a half-demon, the son of Satan. After Satan killed his foster father, Shiro Fujimoto, the strongest Paladin (highest-ranked Exorcist) of all time be killed right infront of his eyes, he swears to kill Satan and gain revenge. A certain Mephisto invites him to True cross Academy where he will be getting lessons on how to be an Exorcist. His powers as the son of Satan is sealed in a certain "Kurikara" sword. Rin can be lazy and funny at times. Okay dude, ALL THE TIME. that's why I like him so much. Not bad for a demon. - AnotherOtakuGirl

Rin is the best. He gets hated, feared and has to go through a lot of pain and he is still standing throughout it!

The best oddball ever

Cute smile

She is really amazing. I love her way of hosting. She should be at least in top 5. I love her smile. She is so quite.

Love this show I love the moments when he gets motion sickness

Yes, YES!

He’s the most realistic and relatable protagonist I’ve ever seen

Joseph Joestar is an amazing character in Battle Tendency. Clumsy, but badass. Goofy, but hyper-intelligent. Comic, but sentimental (I cried at a certain part, and chances are you did too if your heart isn't made of stone). One of the most expressive characters you'll ever see, every moment he is on screen is endless entertainment.

Unlike most anime heroes, Joseph's fights are not won by brute strength. Instead, he takes down enemies massively stronger than him with ingenuity, mind games, and pure luck. The fact that his raw power is relatively modest (in terms of anime) also makes him a more relatable character, and you can almost put yourself in his shoes.

This guy pretty much single-handedly made Battle Tendency the best JJBA. Well, him and Speedwagon.

Respect.
