dunban is absolutely not a perfect character because he's a veteran that's already racked up accolades over his whole life that shulk massively overshadows in the short amount of time the game takes place

both he and the player know that compared to shulk he's a fake hero who got as far as he did off raw effort that doesn't scratch the power of innate talent; the rest of the world having an inflated opinion of him doesn't diminish from that but instead makes it worse on him when the "chosen one" finally shows up

i don't understand why you think a character being archetyped as a lauded war hero makes them automatically boringly perfect, his flaws are plain to see

No, the fact that hes one of the heroes even though Shulk has the Monado now and he just has a katana and lost the use of his arm means that he isnt a fake hero. Hes so overly heroic that hes kind of unbelievable to me and it annoys me that he has no meaningful character flaws. Thats all.

Also screw outta here with your innate talent. Thats entirely against the point of the game. Did you even play it? Did you miss all the stuff about will to fight and not throwing your life away? Seven mortals literally go and kill god. Say whatever you want about the visions, but you cant deny that Reyn, Sharla, and Riki made it through willpower alone. Reyn and Sharla were defence force mooks and Riki was a dude trying to pay off his debt. But they took up their weapons and fought against an entire army of badasses in mechs and later, literal god anyway.
