Protagonists: Heroes You'd Stand By
Eren Yeager (Attack on Titan)
Smash or Pass?
Eren's unwavering determination and revolutionary spirit make him a compelling character. His journey from a revenge-driven youth to a complex anti-hero raises intriguing moral questions. Would you smash for his passionate dedication or pass due to the heavy consequences of his actions?
Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto)
Smash or Pass?
With his infectious enthusiasm and never-give-up attitude, Naruto has inspired a generation. His evolution from an ostracized orphan to the respected Hokage is a testament to his character. Smash if you're moved by his perseverance and belief in the good of people, or pass if his overly optimistic view seems naïve.
Antagonists: Villains Worth The Gamble
Hisoka Morow (Hunter x Hunter)
Smash or Pass?
Hisoka's unpredictable nature and morbid curiosity in strong opponents make him a fascinating yet dangerous character. His charisma is undeniable, but his morals are questionable. Would you smash for the thrill of unpredictability or pass because the risk outweighs the reward?
Shigaraki Tomura (My Hero Academia)
Smash or Pass?
As the leader of the League of Villains, Shigaraki's ideology and destructive powers make him a formidable foe. His tragic backstory adds layers to his character, presenting a villain with depth. Smash if you're drawn to complex characters who blur the lines between good and evil, or pass if his chaotic ambitions are a step too far.
Supporting Characters: The Unsung Heroes
Leorio Paradinight (Hunter x Hunter)
Smash or Pass?
Leorio, with his straightforward personality and genuine care for others, often provides comic relief as well as moments of profound sincerity. His medical ambitions highlight his altruistic nature. Smash if you value his loyalty and heart, or pass if you prefer characters with more central roles and complex developments.
Riza Hawkeye (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)
Smash or Pass?
Riza's unwavering loyalty to Colonel Mustang and her formidable marksmanship skills make her an indispensable ally. Her calm demeanor and tactical mind, coupled with a complex personal history, enrich her character. Smash if you admire her strength and loyalty, or pass if you lean towards characters with supernatural abilities.
