Half of Mashle's Appeal Actually Comes From Its Unusual Main Character

Half of Mashle's Appeal Actually Comes From Its Unusual Main Character

One Punch Man 2.0!

Summary:

  • Mashle immediately surprised viewers with its wacky plot and straightforward humor.
  • Many viewers have noticed Mash's similarities to Saitama from One Punch Man.
  • Without Mash, Mashle would be very different.

Mashle first appeared in the spring of 2023 and immediately surprised viewers with its wacky plot and straightforward humor. Of course, audiences knew before the premiere that they were in for a shonen parody — the title was already telling, but that didn't stop them from being surprised.

Many people immediately compared Mashle to One Punch Man, and that's quite reasonable — they have a lot in common, but first of all the main characters are almost the same. This time we will talk about Mashle's protagonist, as he makes up half of the anime's appeal.

Perfect match

There are a lot of non-serious anime, and many of them have become surprisingly popular. Usually, the creators of these titles do not bother with animation and visuals, because these projects are just a joke from the beginning. However, those titles that do not disappoint with their appearance are immediately recognized and discussed. Mashle is a good example.

Mashle is about an ordinary guy, Mash, who lives with his father and works out a lot. Their world is unusual, and everything in it is done with magic — the stronger the wizard, the more respect he gets. Those without magic are persecuted and destroyed.

Mash had the misfortune to be born without the ability to use magic. However, he has trained himself to the point where even the strongest wizard is no match for him.

Is that you, Saitama?

Many viewers have noticed Mash's similarities to Saitama from One Punch Man within the first few minutes of watching the anime — they work out a lot, are a bit unemotional, and are sometimes overly cool. These anime are generally very similar, as the plot of both titles is based on the idea of the protagonist's incredible physical strength.

The main element, of course, are the fights in which the main character seems unflappable and his opponents arrogant and therefore silly. Even though the audience knows the outcome of these fights, it's still very interesting to see what ridiculous way the hero will choose to win.

Like Saitama for One Punch Man, Mash became the face and trademark of Mashle. The humor of the series is mostly built around his abilities and character traits.

Unable to use magic, Mash enrolls in a magic academy. Watching Mash try to keep his secret and advance in his studies in his own way is the best part of the series. Instead of using magic to open a lock, he breaks it. In duels, he disarms his opponent by breaking his stick, and on his broomstick, Mash flies with quick swings of his legs.

Without Mash and his naive cool, Mashle would look very different.
