I'm not talking about the main character that becomes OP in the end because they unlocked the true power of friendship. I'm talking about the character that was OP since their first appearance and rarely loses (if at all) and usually it's by some luck or fluke.

It depends on how they're handled. Some series handle it really well and make them really entertaining despite you knowing they will literally never lose and likely massacre everything.

Isn't that a deconstruction of the trope.

My take is for any anime characters like this only really exist in the first half. They are inevitably surpassed by the MC and MC adjacent characters unless they are one

Superman is the best example of this right? I also like the simply OP characters.

read some manhwa
majority of them are OP af from the beginning(or shortly thereafter) MCs
solo leveling is prolly the best entry point, and it's recently wrapped up too

Like I guess my own personal example is...I'm a casual One Piece fan. But my favorite character is Shanks, which I get is weird in the first place because he doesn't pop up too often. But I like him because even tho he's OP, he's fairly pacifistic whenever possible. I haven't gotten too far in the series so there might be developments with him that might counter this so yeah...don't spoil for me pls <__<

Not really. But often times the character is held back by the plot because they have to make the antagonists look strong.

I kinda need examples of what you're talking about.

Like, overpowered how? Even Superman *tends* to be dragged into conflicts that are worthy of his weight class, with clowning on street level robbers usually being some quick little aside he handles before moving onto the real story, lol
