Typical and mediocre shonen anime...

Oh boy, let me tell you about this series. No matter how much the enemy flexes their muscles, how invincible they seem, or how high their rank is, the main character always manages to beat them in the most ridiculous and absurd way possible. And how does he do it, you ask? With some conveniently-timed training, of course, guided by a grandmaster who's conveniently trapped in a magical ring with all sorts of sweet relics and powers. Oh, and did I mention that this ring was just conveniently passed down to the main character by his mom? Talk about some serious plot convenience.

Now, I'm not saying it's a crime for the main character to always win, but come on, can't we have some unpredictability in this show? I mean, half the time the training sessions are way more epic and intense than the actual fights. And don't even get me started on some of the character's skills, like flying, which the main character conveniently forgets about until he's about to get his butt kicked. Classic.

And let's not forget about the main character's mysterious seductive charm, which seems to make every female character swoon over him or become somehow related to him. It's almost like the other characters in the show only exist to make the main character look good and show off how strong and badass he is. But hey, who needs character development and depth when you've got an overpowered protagonist with a convenient training routine and a magical ring?
