Watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Edward Elric is a very refreshingly atypical shonen protagonist.

Because they're usually not very well written and just copy paste ideas from each other.

Konata Izumi is definitely not a Goku clone.

You said shonen, not battle shonen.

And Medaka Kurokami lacks several of those qualities too.

I like Seiya in that regard. He does cheap shots like Vegeta all the time and the Honorable fair fight guy is Shiryu.

Book smart? I forget, to be honest. He's better than others at making battle plans, but not anymore so than like, Naruto or most other characters in it.

True, but "doesn't want peace" and "doesn't have feelings" aren't listed as qualifiers in the OP.

I haven't seen much DBZ, but does Goku not actually want peace? Earth is under attack, he's defending it, and combined with viewing himself as a warrior-defender of Earth, of course he's going to want to fight - he has to get better. Or is this wrong?

iirc, Deku isn't about fighting the strongest person just to fight them, but to maintain peace and be a hero

he wanted to fight Todoroki and Bakugo so they'd acknowledge him, but his motivation is almost totally different than Goku's

plus he's not an airhead, and he doesn't have some dumb overeating gag

Goku Luffy Naruto and Ichigo are all kings of asspulls.

Seriously especially Ichigo.

But here's the things these characters are made for the younger audience to get them engaged into the show and to sell merch.

Because Shonen. Epic power ups. Training arc! Tournaments. Rawr punch kick win. Main character armor levels are beyond god levels.

I really don't think Gon is a typical Goku. He wants to fight and is naive, but that is about it. A lot of the time he really doesn't give a shit about a fair fight, and then in ant chimera he uh...definitely becomes not goku like after a certain someone is killed.

He's top 3 in his class for academics, which is the top program in the nation's top school. Deku definitely aint no dummy.

He is fairly book smart in the sense that he spends most of his free time studying other heroes, and has memorized everything about them, including his classmates.

Nvm, I was thinking of Bakugo. Deku still aint no dummy though, I think he's hovering around the middle of the class in terms of academics.
