Shonen is a genre obsessed with the archetype of the underdog: a character who begins the story at a lower status in life, and gains audience support due to their relatability. But if you actually take a moment to analyse them, you realise a shocking secret; most Shonen underdogs aren't even underdogs at all.

Thank you for watching!
