00:00Trust me when I say this, but about 90% of anime, mostly in shounen genre, have your typical weak-looking but overpowered protagonists.
00:05It's overdone in a sense, but trust me, it just never gets old.
00:17Because where is actually the true fun if a protagonist is not the strongest in the first place?
00:23But today's video will be diving into weak-looking but strong anime protagonists,
00:27highlighting some of my favorite anime with a mix of underrated unknown anime and a chance for you all to grab some anime for yourselves to watch.
00:34Unless you've already seen them, of course.
00:36But anyways, sit back and enjoy the ride!
00:38Let's go!
00:39Let's go!
00:40Touch this!
00:41Touch this!
00:44Touch this!
00:48Touch this!
00:55How about we start things off with Black Summoner.
00:58This is an isekai of how an average-looking guy becomes so overpowered from the get-go, despite him not looking like one in the first place.
01:04in the first place.
01:05The tamer class is usually weak in this world, but since this guy has everything, pretty
01:09much at the S rank status, he can do absolutely whatever he wants.
01:13From taming powerful beings to join his side, to acting like a villainous character towards
01:18the hero's party, and dominating the battlefield at the same time, I mean, what is not there
01:23to love about something like that?
01:28Defeating the Great Demon Lord as a baby sure is one of the biggest achievements of mankind,
01:32and now as a teenager, it's time to enter the academy as an overpowered transfer student,
01:36where everyone has no idea just how destructive his capabilities truly are.
01:54The daily life of the Immortal King is still to this day, one of the all-time best Chinese
01:59animation, or what others like to call it a Donghua.
02:02Wang Ling is too overpowered and can destroy the world, so, to suppress his powers, his parents
02:07gave him an amulet to hide his overwhelming power, but that amulet breaks over time, so,
02:13you know, just how far can Wang Ling go without causing a lot of chaos and destruction and destroying
02:19enemies with such ease, I wonder.
02:36The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter.
02:38A super generic, yet funny anime about a guy that gets a powerful ability, but it does require some sort of, like,
02:44uh, points that he needs to be, to make it activate through getting into, you know, romantic or ecchi situations.
02:51The protagonist noir is a noble, but at the very bottom of the hierarchy, and gets bullied by his fellow nobles,
02:57but now, he decides to join the Hero Academy to get stronger, and was advised to explore the dungeons where he meets a woman,
03:03who gives him great power, in exchange for points, that only he can obtain through, you know, those types of situations that you may actually enjoy,
03:13because, you know, it's fan service.
03:17Now, if you like anime series to do with, like, spy cool action and all that, then this anime is just for you.
03:23This is a series about a boy named Asano who lost his family in a car crash,
03:27and all he has left by his side is his dear childhood friend, who really cares about him,
03:32but he has no idea what her true identity really is.
03:47Musumi is the head of the spy family, and in order for Asano to join and marry her,
03:52which is, you know, the biggest goal, he must prove himself worthy and become the greatest spy he can to protect his friend from danger.
04:00There will be lots of power struggle, but the end result is far greater than what you can imagine.
04:22Which story I want in Sword is a real hidden gem, I tell you,
04:27because the amount of people that have ignored or never watched this anime are missing out on possibly
04:31one of the best Magic Academy anime series, the protagonist who can't even use magic.
04:36The protagonist will excels in close combat with his sword,
04:38but doesn't use magic as many make fun of him or even, you know, for being in this academy in the first place.
04:45Although his mentor and the principal very well see big potential in his growth,
04:50one day, he actually wishes to stand on top of the wizard tower as the greatest in the academy
04:55and join his childhood friend, whom he promised to reunite with, up in that tower.
05:03This here honestly could be the rise of a brand new anime,
05:07and to be honest, it is currently a big talk of the season,
05:10and many of you should actually join the ride.
05:28Anyone can be a hero in this anime,
05:30as all it takes is a large number of people supporting you to gain points and power.
05:35An average weakling guy gets fired from his daily job
05:38and witnessed one of the greatest heroes of all time die, named Nice.
05:43So, what happens next?
05:45Well, let's just say that he was forced to take his place,
05:48continue on the legacy to become the strongest hero,
05:51pretty much to raise, to become the number one hero, is what I'm trying to say.
05:56It's a unique mix of 2D and 3D animation in such a smooth way,
06:00and it's actually very similar to Arcane from Netflix,
06:03as it's highly worth getting into.
06:08Now, have you ever wondered what it feels to be the leader of the strongest guild in this series or fantasy world,
06:30but genuinely being the absolute weakest member
06:33and hiding behind your teammates' back
06:36to take the fame and spotlight as the greatest, even though you are worthless?
06:40Yeah, it's definitely a weird feeling,
06:43but what I just explained is exactly how it sounds and feels for this protagonist
06:47in the anime called Let This Grieving Soul Retire.
06:50He already wanted to retire, but is unable to since his teammates really rely on his leadership and strength.
06:57Yet, how long can this man hide and put on a fake stage play until others find out just how useless he really is?
07:05If you really need some funny moments in an isekai world with a protagonist who plays the role of someone who wishes to die,
07:15damn, what a shocker,
07:16then you certainly have one hell of a ride with this isekai series.
07:19No longer allowed in another world is the story of how Dazai,
07:43an author that goes to another world and wants to die peacefully.
07:46However, he is unable to do so as you aren't really any longer allowed to go to another world after going to one.
07:53So, Dazai seems weak, but he does like, well, poison.
07:58And with only one hit point to his name,
08:01he is surprisingly very strong for a weak-looking guy because enemies get poisoned to death.
08:09Honestly, you guys really should check this one out.
08:16And now here we have Reincarnated as a Sword,
08:33one of the best isekai anime that not many people actually appreciate.
08:36It is such a cool story of a guy that gets reincarnated from the world as a sword that can freely move around,
08:42but is even more powerful if he finds himself a wielder.
08:46That's when he stumbles across the Black Cat Tribe,
08:49treated as slaves and working, and upon rescuing a young girl named Fran,
08:53he decides to team up with her to help her achieve her goal of becoming a powerful adventurer
08:58to avenge her fallen people.
09:00And finally, for the last anime in today's video list, Mob Psycho 100.
09:26You guys remember this glorious masterpiece of an animation series that ended?
09:32Yeah, I really miss it too.
09:34But while I know this is a very popular anime,
09:36I'd still prefer to add it on this list as sort of a reminder that you should really watch this show again.
09:41And as for newcomers, definitely check this show out.
09:44The Protagonist Mob is your average weak-looking high schooler who has powerful psychic abilities or powers,
09:51and works with his master named Regan, where they exercise evil spirits and go on duty whatever danger calls.
09:58Beautiful crisp animation, bad-ass fight scenes, and amazing characters you will never, ever forget about.
10:07Looks like this is the finish line for the weakling protagonists,
10:10but try not to underestimate them, because you never know just how strong they really are.
