Worst SHOUNEN Cliche

If a girl falls for the main character or even just think's he's cute while he's a) oblivious to feelings b) a total dumbass or c) a pervert, then it's game over for me.
Oblivious/dumbass/perverted guys who get the women are unfortunately rather common, about enough to merit cliche status.

Shounen is a cliche.

Even if they would get in the way, the hero "wants to help fight". I always get so mad. Any idiot would understand that their help is a hindrance. In a life and death situation, it is certainly not the thought that counts.

i'm really picky so many things doesn't please me.
but if one thing can turn me off so quickly, it won't be a cliche. it would be hairstyle.
a hero who has cactus-like hairstyle is a big no-no.
grammar mistake is intentional, grammar nazis need their entertainment.

Hmm I read shounen for all the wrong reasons. But, I guess the fact that most shounen main characters always end up single even tho there is a girl (or many girls) in love with him.

Somebody probably mentioned this already but the cliche where if ANY amount of water is splashed onto a main character they absolutely HAVE to take a freaking shower. HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU NEED A SHOWER!!?? HAVE THESE PEOPLE NEVER HEARD OF TOWELS?
Things I enjoy:
- Badassery. I love being, doing, and living it. I also enjoy seeing it as it usually makes me cry man tears.
- Badassness.
- Badasses.
- Badass mofos.
- Manly badasses.
Things that I hate:
- Wimpy protagonists.
- Girly protagonists (if they're men).
- Douchie protagonists.
- Idiotic protagonists.
- Over-the-line rude protagonists.

The worst one imo is where the main character always powers up from battles and becomes stronger. In reality, if you were to get injured that badly, you would never fight again.

When the antagonist boasts "You can never defeat me!" and the hero beats him without a sweat.
Edit: Shounen with romance--when the hero falls in love with the aggressive, upbeat loudmouth.

Unless it is Luffy, I usually hate hearing the main characters saying "I'll never forgive you!"
