Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

It's a bit harder to swallow when it happens to characters who rant about revenge in a setting where one family has eye magic that comes from hating each other really hard and can be transplanted by ripping out your own eyes and replacing them with somebody else's.
What series was that?
I don't know why, but my assumption is Naruto.

Seriously, the Uchihas are the biggest load of bullshit I have ever seen in an anime.

I never got into Naruto, but from what I hear, it really gets bullshitastic. Same with Bleach. Wasn't it something like Ichigo never dies or something?

I haven't really followed either in a while. While I guess it's pretty normal to expect the main character not to die (unless the series loves Biblical symbolism), the two of them both do have serious cases of Shonen Protagonist Syndrome.

Yeah.
The Boring Invincible Hero trope.
Also, 'Heroes' in the topic title is spelt wrong.

My friend, who's a Naruto fanboy, even admits that the series is pretty much made of bullshit.

Also, Ayato Kamina is the best Boring Invincible Hero. Or his mech. Either one, really.

It wasn't that Ichigo never dies, although that seems to be the case at times.

It's the fact that the plot twists aren't used to enhance the story but instead are used to get out of writer's block. Which involves a lot of shunpo hax and out-of-the-ass last-minute concepts.

Naruto doesn't really suffer from this as much as Bleach does, though.

My idea is, if your character is about to die, or is very close to dying, kill them off and be done with it. Don't bullshit and think of ways to keep them living. Even if it happens to be the main character. Maybe that's just me though.

It's just you.

About 20% of the fanbase would disagree. I say 20% because those end up being the loudest.

You mean like DragonBall Z?
Where the only character to NOT die was MR. SATAN, THE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!

Funnily enough, Goku was meant to die at the end of the series. This happened when Namek finally exploded, but the fans insisted that there would be more DBZ, so the creator brought him back. To try again, he made Goku sacrifice himself when Cell was about to explode Earth. Same thing happened and we got the Buu saga.

I know.
Then he tried to make it into a high school comedy with Gohan...And the fans raged.
But Goku died twice in the series I think...

Yeah, I'm not sure why he didn't have Goku die at the end of the Buu saga. Perhaps he gave the idea up or it didn't work with what else he had planned.

It certainly would have been interesting to see Goku die for real though, that's for sure. Gool ol' DBZ.

One of the Jump series I'm following for fun, Medaka Box, explains that main characters don't die precisely because they're main characters.

No, no. DBZ was certainly fun in how ridiculous it was.
