Really? Because here's the thing. Looking at the current WSJ line-up:
-Name the ones who everybody hates unconditionally for really bad reasons.
Still a few to compare against Naruto, true.
-Of those, let's take a look at the ones that are also orphans.
I think of one or two, but not many.
-And of those, the ones that really suck at what they're trying to excel in, and have to work for years to even get anywhere to begin with.
I'm... starting not to think of anyone except Naruto.
-AND OF THOSE, who lets everyone down and doesn't save the day, but is strong enough to keep going anyway?
I don't care if they have better powers, better storylines, cooler hair, or save more friends. He only had one person he considered family, he couldn't save him, and he kept going.
