In fiction, a typical hero is someone who embodies positive traits whom readers and viewers are meant to emulate and draw inspiration from, such as honesty, the power of friendship, altruism, defending the weak, and fighting for justice. By contrast, an antihero is a protagonist who rejects or subverts typical heroic traits, skirting the line between hero and villain.Antiheroes have goals, methods, and/or personalities that dabble in villainy, with examples ranging from Walter White in Breaking Bad to Thorfinn Karlsefni and Alucard in the Japanese manga/anime industry. But no antihero is greater than Berserk’s Guts. Every manga/anime fan will have their own favorite antihero for their own personal reasons.Often, heroes and villains in fiction are defined by who is a victim and who turns other people into victims. In shonen fiction, for example, a protagonist like Naruto Uzumaki would never victimize innocent people — they only fight and defeat clear-cut villains, which justifies their actions. Fighting fire with fire like that checks out in shonen fans’ eyes when it’s the hero doing the fighting.
