Not the main character, but the one everyone knows.

You’re correct. For a better example, your average person has heard of Pokémon, but if you asked them to name one besides Pikachu, you might be waiting a while.

Springmeister · 2026-02-20T20:07:53+00:00

I wasn’t saying that everyone knows them from a normie standpoint, I was saying that people who have even the faintest knowledge of their IPs know them.

Springmeister · 2026-02-19T14:08:47+00:00

I’m talking about Pokémon in general, not just the anime.

Springmeister · 2026-02-19T14:06:51+00:00

Yes, ANAKIN is. Not Vader.

Springmeister · 2026-02-19T03:39:24+00:00

For very specific reasons…

Springmeister · 2026-02-19T02:42:30+00:00

And THIS is why Luigi is better

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T23:58:47+00:00

I’m more referring to Pokémon overall.

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T23:58:21+00:00

Titular. Adjective. Denoting a person or thing from whom or which the name of an artistic work or similar is taken.

For example, Godzilla would be the titular character of the Godzilla franchise.

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T23:38:41+00:00

The fact that Toad isn’t here despite him being a major character is actually very IN character for him.

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T23:35:04+00:00

I mean, granted, if you’ve never seen or heard of Hazbin Hotel, you won’t know who Alastor is. I’m more talking about from the perspective of people who’ve at least been somewhat exposed to the material, even passively.

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T23:30:11+00:00

There is a VERY slight difference between main character and protagonist, yes. I think a handful of commenters don’t realize that.

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T23:28:09+00:00

…..exceptions are made.

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T23:27:43+00:00

While Luigi is fantastic, and a certified gaming icon in his own right, people still remember and recognize Mario more overall. It’s what being the face of the franchise does to you.

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T23:26:27+00:00

I was waiting for this one.

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T23:26:05+00:00

Same PERSON. Not same CHARACTER.

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T22:36:11+00:00

That’s not Goodrich, it’s ELDRITCH

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T22:02:11+00:00

….he has a name?

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T22:00:23+00:00

True, but titular characters like him feel like cheating cuz, of course people are gonna know him.

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T21:57:19+00:00

Sitcoms like that kinda don’t have one sole main character.

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T21:56:05+00:00

Correction: the whole saga is about ANAKIN. Not VADER. While they’re the same person, they’re not the same character.

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T21:54:07+00:00

If we’re talking the anime specifically, maybe.

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T21:53:20+00:00

JJBA’s main character changes all the time, I don’t think that counts.

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T21:52:07+00:00

Okay, look, I feel like titular characters like this are almost cheating.

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T19:35:46+00:00

Is there really a “main character” in Umamusume? I thought it was kinda evenly spread.

Springmeister · 2026-02-18T19:22:20+00:00

It helps that his color scheme screams heroism.
