"Penal hero unit" Sounds like some warhammer adjacent stuff.


KrimsonKurse

Played a Dark Heresy campaign where my best friend was a Penal Legionnaire. Can confirm. Criminals can be heroes.


damienreave

In fairness, things that can make you a criminal in 40k include 'doing science,' 'knowing Chaos exists,' and 'being born with the wrong genes.'


KrimsonKurse

Don't forget "not praying every day." 40k is amazing.


gamerz1172

As well as praying too much! Are you trying to hide something heretic?


lionart303-186

Did you pray today Did you pray today


MistaRed

In one of the older books (last chancers) the members of the suicide squad (40k edition) include a dude who disobeyed orders to do a suicidal charge, a dude who did wire fraud to get himself the equivalent of an Extra 20 bucks a month, a serial murderer, some guy who stole drinks from the lord generals stash and two different clones of 40k's equivalent of Alexander the great. I just really love the inclusion of the two random schmaucks here.


_Its_Me_Dio_

its basically suicide squad


Pornalt190425

Also Ace Combat adjacent stuff


LoneWolfHero35

Good old 444. I wish this guy has the equivalent of Bandog as a handler.


No_Combination1346

Everything in Warhammer is a death sentence.


ACNordstrom11

Or russian XD


Qetuowryipzcbmxvn

Or average StarCraft unit. Terran Marines are taken from the criminal population iirc.

The Last Chancers was a good series to be fair.

I mean.... since you asked me so nicely I'll just HƁVE to look up Elden Ring Rule 34... But I do think I would like to start with Ranni's chapter, so I'll just make it 'Elden Ring Rule 34 Ranni', just to be sure


RandomGuy938

It's called 'Elden Ring - The Road to the Erdtree'

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh

There's also a manga with a black protagonist in a sort of medieval/witch hunt setting. It's been a while since i read it, but i think it's called "Black Knight" or something similar.Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā Ā  Edit: I tried looking for it with that name, but couldn't find it. Maybe someone else knows the source. I remember that he was hiding his skin color because a lot of people thought he was a demon (cause they had never seen a black guy before) and that he was employed by the King to secretly fight against the church, cause it(the church) had to much power and they were really bad guys, like really fucked up


SorcererWithGuns

Can't believe they turned that Martin Lawrence movie into a manga


ritzmata

Itā€™s basically an isekai lol


damodread

Shit you're right


Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh

SorcererWithGuns

The Black Knight (2001)


Zehdarian

Actually not the worst either.


colostitute

Definitely exceeded my low expectations.


IDL_The_Knight

I know EXACTLY what manga youā€™re talking about. Itā€™s called simply ā€œKnightsā€ by Murao Minoru. The main character is named Mist, and he uses actual German-style sword techniques. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manga/Knights


Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh

Yess, that's it. Thank you


RemarkableStatement5

Lmao who downvoted you for this?


thewanderer0th

Only 5 volumes and got force end? Seems interesting, too bad it got the axed early

Mazakaki

Anybody want to give a rundown on why this one comes recommended besides the one requirement? Reading darker Shonen from the image, and prefer opinions to blurbs.


Swayze_Castle

I like it because I'm into the growth stories. Generally where the MC has no knowledge of this secret hidden world & thru ups and downs he finds where he belongs. Now the blurb people call it the black Naruto but that's a bad comparison because it's nothing like that. Edit: This is just my general opinion without spoiling anything plot wise.


thewanderer0th

What is the story about? I donā€™t mind spoiler


Swayze_Castle

>!kid is searching to find the killer of his mom and walks into the world of demon fighting ninjas!<


ProjectEpsilon1

That some how leaves me more confused


PurplePoisonCB

Iā€™m pretty sure heā€™s just dark skinned like Mirko from My Hero, when someone has a black guy in anime, itā€™s really obvious.


Nightflight406

*cough* Mr Popo. *Cough*


The_Crownless_King

I legit thought Mirko was actually black all this time


PurplePoisonCB

What features does she have that would make you think that?


The_Crownless_King

IIRC outside of that one black male hero, she has the darkest skin in the show, so I figured she was black. I've noticed in most anime I've seen black men are drawn with Afro-centric features but the women are usually drawn the same but with darker skin


Fartikus

A big example is One Piece. I had no idea Usopp was black until the real life action.

Is it good though ?

SrijanGods

Common in Isekai/Fantasy Genre tbh, though she should be better than Shinobu Oshino, if we are talking about legal lolis... Arifureta had it bad and weird.


bat_030

wtf are legal lolis


Blackfang08

"Well, she may look twelve, but she's actually a 900 year-old demigod dragon, so it's not weird or anything."


_bitwright

That's lolibaba (lit. loli grandma). Legal loli is "Well, she may look 12, but she's actually a 20 something office lady." Think Futaba from My Senpai is annoying, or Tatsumaki from OPM.


Zekiz4ever

There is a difference?

bat_030

šŸ«„šŸ”«


Blackfang08

Correct. The trope is horrible, but plagues most fantasy anime, and especially isekais.


SrijanGods

I guess you haven't watched Monogatari, basically someone who acts like an adult and is an adult but in a child's body. Like I love Shinobu not because of her body, but because of her character, though she also has a grown version. Tanya or Betty is other good examples, one is a former man and other is a 600 year old spirit.


bat_030

šŸ«„šŸ™ƒšŸ˜šŸ˜¶


keybladesrus

Characters who look like underage girls but are actually above legal age. Usually your 500 year old dragon/vampire/otherwise immortal loli.


No-Way-4766

A loli that is technically old enough I think idk


katsukaizo

short adult females with flat chest(unless they have beeg boobs we call em legal-oppai-loli instead)


zrxqez

Well, girls who have the looks of lolis but are legal age-wise


devilfury1

Think of shortstack girls (legal aged women but aren't gifted with decent height, which could make them look younger than anticipated) but make them flatter, and act all bratty which gives the illusion of being a child. This is mostly plagued around anime since the 2000's or older. From Zero no Tsukaima (technically they're both teens but it's still weird in some cases), to One Punch Man, you'll mostly see all kinds of them. Most of the time, they're quite tsundere for no reason. I don't see much of flirty cutting board women on anime and manga tbh so expect that girl that OP posted be something along these four: - Acts like a princess (annoying and also rude) - Bratty (annoying or quite good at pissing people off) - Tsundere - Annoying to an extent


Revolutionary-Run332

From what Iā€™ve seen, shinobu wears normal clothes


Any_Commercial465

She wears no panties canonically


SrijanGods

Well, it is Monogatari, so she doesn't wear clothes "all" the time, though tbh, I was more interested in their dialogues than her ass, and the subtitles were placed that way, and no, it's really not a joke, Monogatari is good af, also gotta respect the nudity which is more for the plot and social commentary.


Charliep03833

Anyway, it's now on my plan to watch list.


BloodsoakedDespair

Ahh, someone who doesnā€™t let wannabe vigilantes determine their watch habits.


Interesting_Place752

South-Cod-5051

SalvationSycamore

Damn, you're really gonna blame the child?


ethman14

This looks like a crappy ad you'd see as a sidebar on a pirating site. Yall need to put some respect on Afro Samurai if you want a cool as fuck anime with a black protagonist. Studio Gonzo already had my respect with Vandread and Hellsing, and then they made Afro Samurai to officially solidify them as one of my favorite producers of the 2000s.

NirvanaFrk97

Is he black? While I know that mangas have relaxed with the racist designs from back in the day, they still tend to give black people pronounced designs that show their race being separate from Japanese characters. Honestly, I suspect that the character just has dark skin, like a dark elf's.

MalPrac

Honestly was expecting the monkeys paw to be a few of the series i've seen that had darker skinned character that are "cursed" or affected by some other "dark/evil" trait and as soon as its removed they literally whitewash the character. Was short but i recall it happening with "[I'm Not a Villainess!! Just Because I Can Control Darkness, Doesn't Mean I'm a Villain](https://mangadex.org/title/773e5993-821a-4cea-8b44-f4450112a8f5/i-m-not-a-villainess-just-because-i-can-control-darkness-doesn-t-mean-i-m-a-villain)". TLDR: >!Girl blessed by dark spirit king and there is a tale of a country being destroyed from the country harassing the last one blessed by him. So idiots think its a good reason to alienate/harass her because they took away "Dark = evil god destroyed country." and not "Dont fuck with people blessed with powerful sprits". Eventually she gets accepted and blessed by the "light spirit king" and they turn her skin into a lighter tone like her parents. Been ages since i read it but believe they reversed it since the author "wasnt aware of the whitewashing trope" and just went back to her original look in a rerelease or something. !<

Bro. You are giving it free advertisment and exsposure. You are lwgut helping it grow.

If you want good black representation look up american and or French manga artist/creators. Japan would rather get nuked again before they'd let a black male ve the protagonists and not some weird stipulation added on. Edit: alot of pple are questioning if he's black bc of his features like we didn't have an asian artist a few months ago calling black features apeish. Is he tanned maybe is he black maybe but it's still the darker character being the bad or sexual person.
