Who are the worst protagonists ever?

Most of the final arcs. From basically 6 quirks of pain onwards is the tldr version of it for me. Things about him that just get worse over time (wishing energy, never being truly allowed to have his character challenged etc.) mainly started in the Overhaul arc.
Before I'd agree with you that at worse he's just boring wonderbread but he pretty much becomes a second Naruto by the end.
Civilians raise valid concerns about having their lives put in danger by having Izuku be in UA instead of literally everyone else? Those guys are unreasonable assholes who don't understand. They're so bad they set off his danger sense even when the mass murderering villains don't. His girlfriend proceeds to make a
?Mirio exists to show us if Izuku really deserved Ofa? Don't worry only quirkless people can use Ofa because anyone else would die so don't think about it.
Gets told to diverge himself from All Might's fighting style? Don't worry, the quirk gods will take care of all of that. No need to do more than having a Jimmy Neutron brain blast over learning to use your super strength to......kick. This dude is supposed to be a genius that other geniuses look up to by the way.
Disobey direct orders and hunts down villains on his own even though he's supposed to be working with the other pro heroes? Don't worry about it, he actually helped them even more by doing that.
And that's not even going into him suddenly trying to save Shiggy at the risk of an entire country and the world being screwed and not really caring that much about the risks until someone personal to him (Bakugo) nearly dies. Then all that resolve that makes him better than everyone else as a hero disappears until someone else tells him that Bakugou's fine.
I could probably go on but for the sake of both of us I won't

Webcomic Saitama had some glimpses of actual depth to his character
Manga Saitama took those glimpses and then smashed the readers face in them until they were ruined
I can’t even remember his name but I’m gonna throw the mc from Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer in there, because he isn’t poorly written, nor is the manga, I completely get why his personality is that way, I just really really hated his spineless ass
Wait what
How is he spineless? I can get maybe not liking the way he instantly simps for the FMC but spineless isn't something I'd use to describe a guy willing to betray all of humanity for his girl
iirc (and its been like 10 years since i read it) i just hated that he had no will of his own to do anything. It doesn’t make him poorly written (that’s his whole arc after all), I just hated the experience of being with him
Huh. Can't say I ever got that vibe from him. The story does initially set up that he's like that, but a pretty big twist early on is that he's just subconsciously using the FMC to project his own hatred of the world.
He becomes pretty proactive throughout the rest of the story, both as a member of the Beast Knights (being both a main combatant and generally the one the younger group looks up to) and as the "traitor" (he deliberately develops and conceals a technique that is useless against the golems but completely dominates the other knights).
And then of course the final reveal that halfway through the story he changed his goal from ending the world to saving the girl no matter what.
If anything, Sami is the one who gets hit with a bit of the satellite syndrome and just ends up passively waiting for Yuuhi to do all of the stuff.
That said, I read this series like once a year because it's one of my favorites so I'm potentially slightly biased 
oh i dont dislike the manga at all lolThat said, I read this series like once a year because it's one of my favorites so I'm potentially slightly biased
The "Jackpot" rating is both for agreeing with your choice, and for the thematic irony of using an emote from the real Dante over this try hard douchebag.
Just call him a cuck. He is one of the most blatant examples of one in fiction.Oh I guess there is that one dude from rent a girlfriend. I don't read that shit but from what I've seen other people say. Simp is too nice of a word to describe that nigga
I never read Rent a GF, but wasn't there a chapter where the dude literally jacks off to the idea of her sleeping with someone else
The general anime subreddits got spammed with that shit for like a week, it was funny as hell

Cuck is an understatement too though
.Nah just like with Boringto I just look at the suffering of other people watching/reading that piece of shit. And tbf the author going full simp for his own creation despite having a wife and kids was hard to ignoreI’m assuming u all are watching rent-a-girlfriend to point and laugh at it

Boruto actually is full of untapped potential if you peep the nuances.
Rent-a-girlfriend though
I’ll let you do your thing though, I just don’t want the squad falling victim to the age of simps

Jobsuke getting kick flipped into a manual by that alien dude was definitely some untapped potential. The potential to make Yamcha look better by comparisonBoruto actually is full of untapped potential if you peep the nuances.

. I only watched a couple episodes in a stream with the guys and that alone made me glad I never went out and watched that shitheap on my own. The later news of him being a literal cuck just confirmed my assumption was correct.I’m assuming u all are watching rent-a-girlfriend to point and laugh at it
