The most iconic aspect of any great shonen anime is its protagonist. Main characters can make or break an anime - particularly in the shonen genre. Therefore, when the main character is written to be irritating, it can grate on fans’ nerves. Whenever a new shonen anime drops, it’s a toss-up about whether the protagonist will be insufferable. Yet, when they are annoying, they can go straight from perplexing to awful.

The worst, most annoying shonen anime main characters can be constantly whiny. They cry at the drop of a hat or explain their problems so much that audiences wish they would talk about something else. Maybe the characters have saccharine personalities or are so overpowered that there are no stakes in their shows. Whatever the case may be, these are some of the most annoying anime protagonists to grace audiences' screens in recent memory.

Starting as a rebellion against the rigidity of everyday life and later becoming forever associated with violent youths, delinquents, popularly known as Yanki in Japan, have waned as a way of life in recent years. But their presence in media, especially anime, is ever on the rise. The Yanki are now part of a genre in Japanese pop culture that shows young teens who yearn to express themselves through bloody brawls rather than giving in to daily routines of studying, participating in after-school activities, and eventually losing their identity in the adult world. From shounen classics like Yu Yu Hakusho and action-comedies like Great Teacher Onizuka to surreal parodies like Cromartie High School, delinquent anime captured a corner of the audience's heart through the ethos of breaking the norm, with the subgenre finding new ways to entertain.
