Would You Be A Protagonist Or An Antagonist In An Anime?

[Lil Pip 775]

I would be an Anti-Hero Protagonist who criticizes the main group, but hangs around for information for my own version of the plan I think would be good.

 

Or if I were an antagonist I would explain to them their main logical fallacy in a way they wouldn't comprehend, because they cannot accept their quest had mistakes in it, they were 'doing the right thing'. And then I would prove they cannot by setting up a scenario which can only be defeated by someone who admits their mistakes.

 

Or I would be a character who obsesses over power, similar to Orochimaru. I would want to self-preserve myself into immortality and learn everything there is to know about power, and the power is the search for freedom. That's the motivator, freedom. To be free you need power, the power to stay free, and the power to be free in new ways. Which could be a villain or hero depending on context.

Protagonist. Even if I was an Antagonist I'd eventually get bored and become a protagonist. Or an extra, who knows :awuh:

[Emerald Heart 24,573]

Protagonist.

But if I really thought about it, I'd probably be one of those characters that's teetering between good and bad.

Protagonist, but like, the kinda protagonist who's not exactly a hero but the peeps she's fighting against are a whole lot worse. I'm more of a chaotic darkness as opposed to a ruling the world one for instance~

[Fluttershyfan94 5,738]

In your own anime I think you would always be the protagonist. Yet I mean in animes I watch I would relate with both but I think more as the protagonist. Though in a sense in many animes the protagonist worldview is very simple and as such can be difficult to relate to though I'd say the protagonist. 

[TBD 17,228]

I rather be the neutral secondary character.

[Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,410]

I would probably be the minor character that’s in the background of like every shot and the main characters never notice until like 130 episodes in. They’re in the middle of a discussion on how to defeat what evil is plaguing the world, then they turn around and there I am at a food cart, and they’re just like “Who the hell is that guy?”

[Prospekt 10,984]

I'd want to be someone who is ultimately neutral but acts as a secondary protagonist because they share a common enemy with the main protagonist. 

[Cash In 21,510]

I feel like I'd be the type of person who starts out as a protagonist, but slowly turns into the antagonist later on. I know I wouldn't be self-aware and would be thinking I'm doing the right thing, even as the antagonist.

[Photon Jet 5,489]

Definitely a protagonist. I love heroes.

[Olly 1,008]

I'd be the trap character that falls in love with generic anime protagonist before being sidelined in favor of generic big tiddy female love interest. 

[Prince Doopliss 2,350]

I just be an annoying flip flopping character that sides with either the protags or antags depending on the arc.

[Handsome Changeling 1,851]

Probably neither. I love to mess around and play class clown and all that but being stuck in the limelight as a good guy would stress me out. If the ends met the means though I could be an antagonist that does what they feel is right though maybe. If I was passionate enough. Think Shimoneta's SOX terrorists kinda deal I guess where they are technically the antagonists of the world.

[The Kaeya Simp 13,953]

Probably the person that always defends the antagonist

and maybe seek them out UwU

I'd be the protagonist because the plot armor would be on my side! 

Hahaha... RAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!  

[Sparklefan1234 161,861]

I would be the annoying comic relief protagonist.

Aren't we all Protagonists from our own point of views? 

I agree with that statement there, I would be an antagonist but in my head I would be thinking that what I'm doing is right and justified (when in reality it isn't) 

I'm not sure if I would be a very good antagonist, but being bad is always so much more fun 

[Ixrec 86]

Depending on the anime, I'd be one of:

- the team leader and protagonist

- the team member that keeps everyone organized and everything from falling apart while the protagonist charges ahead and gets in trouble (by far the most likely in a typical shonen anime)

- that secondary character who can't help directly until the real protagonists accomplish something first

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,585]

Probably the standard shonen protagonist, since I'm a generally optimistic person who loves his friends, and always tries giving the benefit of the doubt to enemies; because I believe people can change.

[Splashee 28,537]

Antagonist that becomes to popular that he/she turns protagonist, but still remains bada**?

[Sonic Shimmer 4,116]

Probably an antagonist. Mostly just so I can do this;

 

[Evil Pink One 12,978]

Probably an apple jack.mostly so i can do that

[Clawdeen 12,109]

Probably an antagonist. So I can revive a dead thread

[KatonRyu 1,026]

I'd be an incredibly minor antagonist, probably, depending on what kind of anime it is.
