Not only that, people forget Sanji was born a regular human and lived as such until Wano where his Germa enhancements manifested, before that it was all being kicked by Seff and then being punched by Luffy.
The perfect example of the "gifted kid" is Yuno from Black Clover. Always been perfect with magic since day one, gets a super special magic grimoire that no one else has, plus a fairy goddess that simps for him 24/7
Six Eyes didnt give him his martial arts, domain strategies and adaptation, even without Infinity (the reason why he is gifted) was still dominating both Sukuna and Mahoraga even at disadvantage
@@Collector-um4mj yuta fresh on gojos body coudnt land a single hit with: -Already given the formula to defeat sukuna in a domain clash -sukuna without rct -sukuna at 1 hp -sukuna without the ten shadows -sukuna down 2 arms -sukuna’s cursed energy pool at less than half
@@orfaal.4 he was born literally perfect 😭 practically infinite cursed energy and a completely broken technique passed down from his parents, bro is the pinnacle of being gifted
Jujutsu Kaisen's power system relies on innate talent! We learn in the first few chapters of the manga that 90% of sorcerers potential isn't aquired through training. And yes that includes Toji since a heavenly restriction is nothing more than an innate binding vow sacrificing cursed energy for physical prowess or vice versa.
counter point : it is shown by Yuta when he took control of Gojo's body that alot of Gojos power came from him training to master the limitless and six eyes to thier full potential because even Yuta who is as gifted a Gojo was unable to properly use the six eyes and limitless
@@Isntmypfpdisgusting and not everyone can push there self near death for training maybe idk they're born more hard working just like how the gifted are everyone literally have their own talent it's the same shit all over again
@infernojae true but gohan is an outstanding example, sinse he did serious damage to raditz, had his potential unlocked by Grand Elder Guru, unlocked ssj 2 through 16's death, got mystic form from old kai, and with little training (compared to Goku's level) with piccolo was able to briefly take on ssj blue Goku, my point being thst with little training compared to goku was still able to catch up to him and even beat him during their beast gohan vs ui goku fight.
Yea of course the whole potential thing is seen with him and frieza but that’s not to disregard the work he put in still like with piccolo like with goku or trunks
I mean he is gifted, but (buu saga and everything after that aside) when he trained, he didn't train "a bit", he was trained by Piccolo for a year as a kid, then after Namek trained with Goku AND Piccolo and then trained for a whole year in the chamber with Goku, if he hadn't he wouldn't even have achieved super saiyan, let alone be as strong as Goku if not a little stronger, and then access his latent power with ssj2 Sometimes being gifted doesn't exclude having to work hard to use those powers
Absolutely agree with Deku. Contrary to what many say, the guy is not just a "gifted" kid. Worked for ten whole months straight, cleaning out mountains of trash from an entire beach, also suffering from overwork, then continued to train regularly in both weight training and combat training, not waiting for there to be a training arc to improve his skills. And you'll keep hearing about people saying that he had to be given everything on a silver platter to put in any work. At the beginning of the series, it's made pretty clear that Bakugou wouldn't even let him try to be a hero, imagine how much worse it would've been when Deku put in effort. Bakugou went on to ignore him after the Slime incident which gave him the opportunity to train with the encouragement of All Might. And his dream wasn't specifically to be a hero, him being a hero was his way of achieving his actual dream of helping and inspiring people, both of which he accomplished. He just decided that he wasn't going to be a lazy bum and went on to be the teacher of the main reason why people go to Superhero Harvard. Him getting the iron man suit wasn't him getting another chance at his dream, it was a chance to do what he enjoyed. That being said, I would say that Gohan is gifted. Super Hero alone is enough proof of that, and the entirety of Z was about Gohan having innate potential and reaching that potential.
@@azurewriter8347 people sleep on deku just because they don't like the anime, he's very hard working even when gifted one for all. People seem to conveniently forget that he was breaking his bones just to use his power, and trained to use it more effectively over the whole series.
@OMG_YGO i think it's like sanji case (sanji was born superhuman but he had to rely on training and martial arts throughout almost all arcs, yet when he unlocked his genes people think he was just born strong), just on a higher scale, deku was given one of the strongest quirks, that also had 6 other quirks, people ignoring that izuku had to train to even use the base form of one for all and didnt unlock the quirks until later, just like some people ignore the fact sanji didn't have super humans genes since the beginning (again not everyone ignores sanji like they ignore deku, but sanji is the best way I can explain this)
I think the problem with the Hard Work Vs Gifted debate is that more often than not people end comparing Hard Work Vs *Potential* rather than talent, and those are two things that you can't really compare Look at Goku, for example, although in this one he's in the hard working category, I've seen many people call him gifted for the seamlessly endless saiyan potential (which is true), even though Goku has spent literal decades training and fighting to earn his current strength
Goku's whole character when it comes specially to his power growth revolves around him constantly breaking and surpassing his limits. I think people forget that he was classified as a low class warrior because of his low potential, which means he was never even supposed to be even as strong as Radditz.
Goku is definitely hard work, along with many other of the hero characters. The "gifted" ones are the villains. Like Cell who ate a bunch of people and two androids and gained insane power. Or Frieza who does like two pushups and instantly catches up to Goku and Vegeta.
@@Er-tiC-ris Truthfully, the Saiyans are an enigma since they're not really human. If we're looking at Goku strictly through the lens of a Saiyan, he'd be in the hard-working category, but there's no doubt that there are things that come naturally to a Saiyan when compared to a human, but then you get exceptions like Videl, Krillin, and Roshi. Gohan, along with Trunks, Pan, Bulla, and Goten, are even more of an enigma since they're all human/saiyan hybrids.
Saitama is both gifted and hardwork but way more gifted,he's a superhuman,his cells upgrade themselves way faster and doesn't have limits,let's not forget that he defeated a monster with just 2 years of training(I think)which is inhuman
Nah, Boruto would be a better candidate for that. Naruto still gained some perks from his clan, the Uzumakis, but that doesn't go beyond large chakra reserves, enhanced vitality and enhanced healing factor separate from being Kurama's jinchuriki. Naruto still had to work hard before he could even begin the effectively utilize his perks. In fact, I would argue his perks were actually hindrances to his development in the early stages of his goal to becoming a shinobi. Naruto is just blatantly a mixture of both, in fact almost everyone on this list is, on the gifted side to be exact.
@@Number-1-ball-blast-player why would I want to debate that Heian Era Sukuna is the strongest in jjk verse when Gojo and other sorcerers have confirmed that lol
Gotta love Sanji in the “gifted” category just because he got a germa power up after like 1000 chapters establishing his strength in the black leg style that he spent a decade learning from Zeff
Naruto, ichigo and Gohan are interesting cause they had to work super hard in the beginning but the more they found out about themselves, the insane natural talent took over🤔💭
Ichigo literally fought Zangetsu for 3 month straight, his training is also not u're average MC training, he could have died in his training, his training is so intense and dangerous.
@@wegil6095 Most of his fast evolutions are due to special hard training that any shinigamy could do but didn't. When rukia, renji and byakuia trained the right way (with zero division) they evolved as fast, if not faster than Ichigo himself did in SS and arrancar arc. What ichigo does have that they don't is potential, he can go beyond their limits because he is hybrid
The "Hard Work vs Gifted" debate exists only to glaze the characters you like and belittle the characters you dislike. Specially because both in fiction and real life, most people use a combination of both, plus some luck.
It’s also stupid cause what makes one hard working? In the end all of these characters are gifted with something that’s very op or really good and they all had to train for it. People need to realize that getting an op ability doesn’t automatically make you “the strongest” without help or training
Gojo is still mad gifted with his six eyes and infinity+knowledge from the gojo clan that was pass down it probably took him until he was a teen to master limitless because he had got rct
Yuta is a live proof that just having the six eyes + limitless doesnt make you the strongest,he barely did anything with gojo's body even though he had a whole month to train with it beforehand
@@sd3kcir471 u saying this proves u didn't read the manga He was in a entirely different body with long ass limbs The fact he even managed to do red and hollow purple already shows that he's a prodigy Sukuna would of died multiple times by HP if he didn't have Naruto type plot armor Please read the manga
@@sd3kcir471 why are a lot of you making this stupid argument? Of course, Yuta had as much time as Gojo did to get as strong or stronger than Gojo right? If your argument was even valid, it would even further prove that Gojo is gifted cause he was able to even achieve the full potential of infinity and six eyes, you can't reach the full potential of something if you aren't gifted 90% of the time. Another proof that Gojo is gifted is that the previous person with the same power set as him lost to a nobody ten shadow guy without Mahoraga, meaning he was gifted enough to be able to reach that level.
@@SasakiKuso i did in fact read the manga, it literally shows a flashback of gojo and yuta with swapped bodies because of Ui Ui's technique,which shouldn't change their techniques since the brain stays on the original Body,so yuta had time to learn about gojo's body and the limitless + six eyes beforehand (or maybe Gege forgot about that and wanted a reason to glaze sukuna a bit more so he nerfed yuta)
I would still say Gojo is a mix as seen with Yuta his technique is way harder to use than we think. And he is still very knowledgeable in combat and has been training since he was little I would say about 75% talent 25% hardworking but the hardworking can go up depending how you look at it
Gojo is at least 30% talent outright. When Yuta was in his body he fumbled and barely managed to cast Hollow Purple on a half beaten to death Sukuna lol
@@veṅo7f My question is did Yuta fumble due to a lack of Training/knowledge? Or did Yuta fumble because Gojo's blatantly more talented in picking things up and mastering them? Because the former implies that Gojo is 50/50 Hardwork/gifted, but the latter just simply implies he's gifted even beyond his based Curse Technique and Six Eyes. Cause if Its like he has both the perfect body and the perfect mind/knack for talent for mastering that body. He's like 80% Gifted to begin with.
its a combination of gifted plus hardwork for most characters Goku trains very hard but lets not act like him being a Sayian isn't a hug part of why hes powerful. same with Ichigo he gets shit on for being a hybrid of every Bleach race but lets also not act like he didn't have to train to use his powers Naruto is gifted with tailed beast , Uzumaki , and otsutsuku chakra but he still had to train to master those powers Luffy was gift with conquors Haki and a Mythical Zoan but he still had to train to master and awaken those powers to the max
@@nickalas666toriyama said that to be a super saiyan you need something called s cells, which are inherited from the kindness of your parents And since goku’s parents were kind, he has a lot of s cells, so he’s kind of gifted
@@SuneethaL-j2y got a lot of s cells and still was trash compare to other saiyan before training right ?.so did vegeta got alot of s cell or broly.because they didn't have to train to be strong .
I want you to think about something. Everytime you see Zoro on the ship what is he doing? Training or Sleeping. What is Sanji doing? Cooking or being a simp. And yet they stay neck and neck constantly. Sanji is literally a test tube baby that has perfect genes built for fighting. Zoro through training alone stands out more than Sanji even though Sanji could be stronger if he trained as much as Zoro does
@@bitviper3430Does that mean Luffy is gifted, because he doesn’t train on the ship either? Also, what reason does Sanji have to train anyways? His role on the ship is to cook, unlike Zoro whose role is to fight. While on the ship they hone their crafts.
@@bitviper3430does Sanji really need to train unlike Zoro his body is already modified which gives him physical attributes like setting is damn leg on fire without it burning him
Well, canonically: Luffy and Zoro are both insane Haki prodigies, who mastered it over 10 times faster than a normal person, and Luffy just got the perfect devil fruit for his personality by sheer luck. Saitama somehow broke the limits placed by GOD through his training, which isn’t even that intense for his world. Tanjiro did work hard, but Sun Breathing and the Demon Slayer Mark, his two biggest powers, were kinda just given to him. Gojo did work hard, but he was also the strongest alive from birth. Going from #1 to #1 by a bigger gap isn’t crazy, especially when most of that power wasn’t from training, but from getting stabbed 30 times by a middle aged man. The entirety of naruto goes out of its way to say he had no talent, but despite that clearly not being true, most of his power still came from training. Deku did have to train to use his power, but he only had to train to USE it, not to get it; he was still literally handed the strongest power in the world. Gohan worked hard in like… 2 arcs, ever, and was only really useful in one of them. His entire thing is insane potential. They literally say he could be the strongest in the universe if he wanted to be
@@thecyberrabbit1440so you're gonna ignore the 7 other quirks he gets and also has to train from the beginning? deku was constantly getting thing sure, but he had zero idea how to use them and they all had horrible drawbacks
@@gluttonyzonde4132 yeah, he gets given SEVEN QUIRKS Even if he has to learn how to use them, that’s an insane headstart on literally everyone else in the verse except AfO
Every straw hat has some form of hardworking in my opinion because they all had to take 2 years to overcome challenges tailored towards their character
I dont understand this "debate" because getting "gifted" powers through unusual circumstances and then training hard to control them is literally the basis for like 90% of superhero stories. Isnt being inherently somewhat special yet still needing to work for it the basis of most animes? Specifically shonen?
Yes, this is just favoratism cope like most people in hard working are also gifted and vice versa. like saitama, goku (its silly to say his saiyan zenkai boosts havent helped) luffy, asta all have their own little gifts others just cant have too
Saitama is both gifted and hardwork but way more gifted,he's a superhuman,his cells upgrade themselves way faster and doesn't have limits,let's not forget that he defeated a monster with just 2 years of training(I think)which is inhuman
@@pol_ia he was all but miserable,withouth ANY training,he was able to defeat a tiger level threath which some C class heroes can't do,luck?i don't think so.
@@kasagure. well he knew it existed because he fought CP9, and he TECHNICALLY didn’t figure it out, he just started running once and was suddenly in the air Which is arguably crazier
Not to say he didn’t work hard, but Luffy had god tier genetics, one of the strongest fruits in the verse, and protection from a top tier pirate since before he became a pirate, not to mention he’s one of about 20 confirmed conquerors haki users
conquerors haki isnt something your born with you can develop the spirit of a conqueror at any point in life and he lost that protection after becoming a pirate and for genetics hes like 5:8 and all his strength comes from living in a dangerous jungle and his devil fruit until he awakened it was essentially a basic paramecia until he almost died from fighting for the 3th time that day
Unawakened Hito Hito No Mi Model: Nika is weak asf, Luffy just made it look strong but it literally just turn u into rubber, its the same thing as Sukuna using 10 shadow, 10 shadow is not strong on its own, Sukuna is just that talented and a genius at using that CT stated by Gojo, just like Luffy, its him who made it strong.
I love Gear 5 and the whole sun god thing, but man, it sure did make one piece fans underestimate Luffy capacities. Let's get this straight, Luffy god fruit was literally a regular paramecia type for his entire life, he was just a rubber boi. All of his gears except for gear 5 were his own ideas, and he spent the entirety of his childhood learning how to use a seemingly "weak" fruit to it's best capacity. Him being pretected by shanks really isn't relevant, since he was still a nobody before that.
@@lancerofredkarna1867 being fated to have it doesnt mean your born with it you still need to acquire it and even then advanced con haki is just hard work
Gohan is DEFINITELY, gifted, Goku trains for months and weeks straight, getting insanely powerful in a deserved way, gohan gets angry and surpasses him, gohan fits VERY well in gifted.
Gohans main power ups came from multiple asspull potential unlocks, not hard work and most of his training revolved around controlling his power, not becoming stronger. Even if he didnt train, he'd still be one of the strongest fighters, just more volatile, like Broly. He deserves being in the gifted category.
Ppl in the comments already mentioned it but JJK's power system is indeed based by talent, even Sukuna whos apparently been a rejected child and probably had to hone his skills alone with arguably a very mild CT (he just goes kinda crazy with it and makes it look top tier tho) is backed by insane amounts of CE and an amazing ability to adapt and learn with only watching something a few times. Its also shown how Yuji (whos got Sukunas potential) in a single battle he HAD to adapt to, could scale up MASSIVELY in a really short amount of time given the right conditions
I mean you can argue the body is a byproduct of sanji getting strong enough to reactivate his genes. Im not sure if it was stated but from my knowledge his awakening started happening around when he got the soba mask/stealth black can which he would not have been able to get if he didn't become strong enough to stand up to his family in whole cake. All in all I can see why you'd call him gifted but I think he wouldn't have gotten that far without the work he did prior
Don't forget the fact that he used to clash with Tatsuki in martial arts , and had to train to become a Shinigami (Thx to Urahara), learn Shikai, Bankai, Fulbringer, etc. Bro had to master them, and he became a fulbringer on his own.
@@UltraDarkHackernot to tell he also had to train to even master hollowfication and just for defeating or be on par with aizen he had to train 3 months for learning final getsuga tensho not to tell that we saw his squad 0 training what that guy ichibei do him
Being gifted doesn't mean you don't train at all. You still have to develop the gifts you possess. But Ichigo is definitely gifted. He's a mix of all the races, his father is a captain from a noble clan and his mom is a pure Quincy. Aizen took an interest in him because of that. He has the potential to become the soul king. Nit because of his training, but because of who he is.
The fact they brought isagi and doesn't even know his entire philosophy(well, ego's specifically) is wild. In the recent chapters of blue lock, it was stated that there is "Talented genius" or "talented learners" and those who are in the spectrum are not simply "gifted" but just unleash the latent potential they have albeit different ways. An example is Nagi with his incredible ball control and flexibility. He is undoubtedly in the realm of "genius" but even then he is slowly being toppled by others in the same footing who put twice, thrice, or even strives in football itself.
I’d say luffy is more Gifted than Hardworking since he learned how to fully control all 3 haki types in only 1.5 years that normally take way longer just to achieve one or two. Plus Garp said he was born with the power of conquerors haki. We barely see him train at all yet he continues to become stronger.
Tbf on luffy isn’t going on the brink of death to become stronger apart of the power system cause since the time skip after fishmen island he was fighting people way above him and surviving.
@@skywraith6454 I’m pretty sure we don’t know the exact amount of time it took, since the last we saw him at around 10 years old not having control and then at 17 with control. Yes he put effort into training but if you compare his growth from the start of the show till timeskip he becomes far stronger during a short 4 or 5 months, incomparably so to the 10 years since he got his devil fruit and then grew waaayyyy more during the 2 year timeskip and the couple months post timeskip that have passed. So while he has out in some decent effort to train, that effort pales in comparison to other characters while it’s obvious his natural talents have since then carried him much further
@@donotcare2181 you realize difference in type of training he did right? Look at goku, he was not even close to raditz after all years of training, then in 5 months with king kai he far surpassed nappa even, it is difference in training method and having a master, luffy trained with ace and alone that 10 years, and 1.5 years with rayleigh
@@skywraith6454 Exactly! Luffy barely got anywhere after 10 years then he set off on his journey and grew exponentially stronger in short period of time. In other words his hardwork for 10 years was less meaningful then the 2.5 years he spent since he started his journey. Luffy grew stronger quickly because he is a gifted fighter who now had real enemies,experience and training. Everyone on the list worked hard in some way but for characters like luffy the hardwork they put in wasn’t what allowed them to get so strong but was instead their own gifts.
@@crono276 isn’t he a prodigy? I don’t think you take a prodigy, and then say what they do is average. I don’t know what the person is saying is true or not. I am just pretty sure you don’t take a prodigy than say what they did is average.

i think people saying naruto is gifted is bc of the anime constantly stating "naruto has an immense chakra pool because of the uzumaki family and kurama inside him" and "naruto is the reincarnation of ashura, the son of kaguya"
Sanji powers literally awakened in wano. Before that he was just a normal human dude. Still he was the 3rd Strongest. Gohan as a Kid had done a lot of training. Naruto also had to train himself to actually control chakra. The perfect example of gifted one is Yuno from Black clover or Frieza from Dragon ball.
Calling sanji gifted like it didn't take literally over a 1,000 chapters for his latent abilities to manifest, and the whole reason he has imo one of the most tragic backstories in the series imo (in a series known for its tragic backstories) is because he never manifested those latent abilities during his childhood.
I swear if people start saying goku isn’t hard work, if it wasn’t for his hard work he would be a low class very weak saiyan, and while yes his saiyan potential helps him a little weve seen him surpass characters with much more potential with hard work, the saiyan saga is literally about hard work over natural talent and goku is the symbol of hard work in that arc
I dont think you understand this. The people in gifted also worked hard but hey just have that x factor you know and goku definetly does. The most egregious example of this is the super saiyan god ritual. This is a mega power boost ritual only saiyans can do that puts them on equal footing with gods. To say that this and zenkai boosts arent major gifts that goku has are just ignorant i dont see namekians getting this. But like this whole schtick is stupid all most all anime characters are gifted with something and work hard to bring their talent out
@@herdoman5169 The Zenkai thing is fair but the ssj god ritual was only possible because of Goku and the choices he made by sparring people, which he could only do through his hard work, the zenkai thing is valid tho, it’s just that they’re only a main player in one arc (namak) and at the beginning of the next arc piccolo is already on par with goku again
@@herdoman5169😂😂super saiyan god was a shortcut for a brief time vegeta attained it without any ritual and that was due to the need of the time And how TF is zenkai boost a gift when you literally have to almost die to get somewhat strong 😂 Goku and kriillin were almost equal in the start of their journey
Nah, Gohan is absolutely gifted. Let's not forget that at 4 years old he momentarily became the strongest character we've ever seen at that point in the show despite the fact that he had never even thrown a punch before
@@MandatoryFruityea but having the nine tails and being the reincarnation of an effectively god of chakra at birth gives him the talented moniker while luffy does have coc haki and is a d member he still had to train to unlock it and needed to awaken his fruit which he needed to train for

Tbf Boruto's birth genetics wasn't up to the potential, His sister got the best of the genepool. Boruto got his genetics overwritten by elite otsutsuki later tho.
Saitama is definitely gifted - he worked hard for a human sure but he did not work ‘I can destroy the entire earth with one punch and am the strongest human alive’ hard. Just did some normal training for 3 years and boom One Punch Man.
@turt1100 Erm, no. He trained and fought to the death with opponents 5 times stronger than him. He achieved such power not because of his talents, but solely because of his hard work
@@faredark956 im just saying that the efforts he went through don’t justify how absurdly strong he is. Someone like mumen rider has been a hero for years and is willing to fight monsters 100s of times stronger than he, yet he is stuck in C class (could maybe be low B class). Guys like Bang have devoted their entire life to training, improving their skill and power while defeating countless monsters yet compared to Saitama they’re all nothing. Saitama was gifted his strength by having his limiter broken, something that no one else on the planet has even if they train longer and harder.
@turt1100 Have you ever read manga? Anyone in the OPM can break the limiter and become as strong as Saitama. I can give Garou as an example. He did the same thing as Saitama and started breaking the limiter six months later. That breaking your workout limiter is not enough. You need to literally be on the brink of death as often as possible and train in order to become stronger. Mumen rider cannot become stronger because he does not train and does not want to become stronger, only to protect people. People who do not have a goal to develop in OPM will never become strong, and even more so they are not able to break their limiter. This makes Saitama and Garou special.
Saitama? Bro worked for 3 years daily to do something that took someone else 6 months (at most) AND starved himself by eating 3 bananas a day, no way he is gifted

@@faredark956 bruh. Saitama did standard strength training. Sht would be aced by normal people irl. And for that he was given unlimited power. That sht definitely wasn't earned. Without his powers, Saitama wouldn't even qualify for the Olympics.
Deku is the only one that should be in gifted ONLY because he was gifted his powers. I’m not denying he worked hard, he did. It’s just that objectively, he was the only one who needed to get something.
Imma be real putting ichigo in gifted is an insult and a half to the man. Yeah he has a bit of every race in him, and I can’t deny that. He’s also reached extreme milestones that most shinigami could reach in a hundred years. Actually, that’s exactly the reason why he shouldn’t be considered gifted, almost every single time he’s gotten a power up, it’s either something that took control of him or something that was rushed in a few days time that really should have taken years to learn, understand, and utilize. He had to force out Zangetsu and take his challenge that was never really explained to him what the purpose of the challenge was or how to complete the challenge. He spent 3 full days fighting old man Zangetsu without a single clue of what he was doing, only to IMMEDIATELY have go and stop a weapon with the strength of a million zanpakutos, and then immediately fight one of the trickiest captains to fight, all while not having gotten any rest, and only moderate healing, while also having never even activated his bankai before. That’s only one situation, there’s others such as kisuke throwing him into a hole with his hands tied behind his back and being told “either come out as a shinigami or have your soul eat itself).
I love Ichigoat but it's obvious he's gifted, the kind of training he went through can only be fulfilled by the gifted, take Kisuke throwing him into the hole for an example, if it were to be any other they would have become a hollow and killed, the "thing always taking control of him" is literally something he was gifted with and has another one that has been saving his a55 from death when he's supposed to be cooked, he's made to he the best, the perfect hybrid of a races I don't know how someone's more gifted than that.
@@IsntmypfpdisgustingHe wouldnt have had into a dangerous situation that he could have die if not becuz that OMZ is holding his powers back, and the top of that, his Shinigami combat pass is limiting his strength and only releasing 20% or might be even lower lvl of his already limited power, although yes he got saved becuz White released some of his real power.
Personally I do think Deku is valid, he only put in hard work after one of the best quirks was handed to him on a silver platter, and after he lost it he completely abandoned his dream until he had an Iron Man suit handed to him on another silver platter
In defense for Deku on the first silver platter All Might had no intention giving it to him in the first place if it wasn’t for him risking his life trying to save Bakugo. Second one is valid though.
First off: What is training really hard but staying a normal human doing? Kid katsuki in middle school would be above deku no matter what simply because he has a good quirk and deku has none. The gap wouldn't change and he'd just end up a cop or firefighter like all might suggested. Second off: post war he already decided what he wanted to do once he lost the embers of OFA and that was to be a teacher to train the new generation of heroes with his skill, experience and knowledge
As someone who doesn’t even like Sanji all that much, Sanji is def more of a hard worker than he is gifted. Remember, he didn’t even actually have his modifications or raid suit up until Whole Cake. Up until then, he was literally just a regular human being. Even without his modifications and suit I’m pretty sure he was stronger than the rest of his siblings.
Gohan is absolutely gifted. Dragon ball is always reminding us how gifted he is by doing the same loop over and over again. Gohan doesn't train and gets washed, he trains for like a week and he's either the strongest or in the top 5. It's that or Gohan doesn't train, gets mad and instantly becomes number 1 in the verse. Don't believe me? We have an entire movie about it.
Gojo didn't have to train, he just had to try, he's definitely gifted, the reason he finds hard to teach anything to his students is that everything is easy to him
Gojo was gifted with "can't touch me if I don't want you to," and worked hard to get, "can't touch me even if I'm unconscious, and I can work you and your whole squad if I did allow you to bypass"
Luffy is both gifted and hard working NGL 19 and being able to fight off 5 goroseis and admiral And a emperor In just 2 arcs is crazy ass plot Armor or gifted powrr

@martialabyss7997 Yes, only Saitama, in addition to his training, was on the verge of death many times and overcame it. In his universe, everyone can become stronger through strong emotions, desires and near-death experiences. As an example, I can take the same Garou
@OvercookedOmlette Exactly the opposite. Saitama trained to death and it was thanks to this that he was able to reach this level. And by the way, Saitama is capable of destroying galaxies and has a universal hax. Saitama is universal lil bro
@@faredark956he was on the verge on death in monster fights, not in his training. His training is something that even I can do out of shape, only tuff part is the 10 kilometer run.
@TheAndyJaramillo Saitama started doing these exercises from the very beginning of training until exhaustion. You will die if you do a lot at once, without preparation
Gojo is 100% gifted everything you said about gojo applies to every other gifted character as they all had to train their abilities and bodies even though they are gifted. The fact that no one else can get gojos abilities no matter how long they train unless their born with it or have a special ability proves his gifted
Sanji is gifted?
Do people forget that everytime luffy tries to attack the frigde sanji is the one who has to stop him
Real
That only applied on the merry, the sunny has a lock on the fridge and luffy doesnt know the password
Not only that, people forget Sanji was born a regular human and lived as such until Wano where his Germa enhancements manifested, before that it was all being kicked by Seff and then being punched by Luffy.
Only true gifted person is meruem

The perfect example of the "gifted kid" is Yuno from Black Clover. Always been perfect with magic since day one, gets a super special magic grimoire that no one else has, plus a fairy goddess that simps for him 24/7
That Fairy goddess seems more like a curse to me
Ntm he doesn't exactly train on screen... Like at all
Yes but those in gifted are there because of their genetical advantage and raw talent . Except for deku all those guys have crazy genetics

And yes that includes Toji since a heavenly restriction is nothing more than an innate binding vow sacrificing cursed energy for physical prowess or vice versa.

Gohan is quite gifted, his whole thing is he is weak, then trains a little and becomes one of the strongest.
I think everyone in “gifted” is gifted to an extent, but not enough for it to be a glaring attribute
@infernojae true but gohan is an outstanding example, sinse he did serious damage to raditz, had his potential unlocked by Grand Elder Guru, unlocked ssj 2 through 16's death, got mystic form from old kai, and with little training (compared to Goku's level) with piccolo was able to briefly take on ssj blue Goku, my point being thst with little training compared to goku was still able to catch up to him and even beat him during their beast gohan vs ui goku fight.
@@infernojaealso I am a huge fan and am quite shocked you actually replied
Yea of course the whole potential thing is seen with him and frieza but that’s not to disregard the work he put in still like with piccolo like with goku or trunks
I mean he is gifted, but (buu saga and everything after that aside) when he trained, he didn't train "a bit", he was trained by Piccolo for a year as a kid, then after Namek trained with Goku AND Piccolo and then trained for a whole year in the chamber with Goku, if he hadn't he wouldn't even have achieved super saiyan, let alone be as strong as Goku if not a little stronger, and then access his latent power with ssj2
Sometimes being gifted doesn't exclude having to work hard to use those powers
Absolutely agree with Deku. Contrary to what many say, the guy is not just a "gifted" kid. Worked for ten whole months straight, cleaning out mountains of trash from an entire beach, also suffering from overwork, then continued to train regularly in both weight training and combat training, not waiting for there to be a training arc to improve his skills.
And you'll keep hearing about people saying that he had to be given everything on a silver platter to put in any work. At the beginning of the series, it's made pretty clear that Bakugou wouldn't even let him try to be a hero, imagine how much worse it would've been when Deku put in effort. Bakugou went on to ignore him after the Slime incident which gave him the opportunity to train with the encouragement of All Might.
And his dream wasn't specifically to be a hero, him being a hero was his way of achieving his actual dream of helping and inspiring people, both of which he accomplished. He just decided that he wasn't going to be a lazy bum and went on to be the teacher of the main reason why people go to Superhero Harvard. Him getting the iron man suit wasn't him getting another chance at his dream, it was a chance to do what he enjoyed.
That being said, I would say that Gohan is gifted. Super Hero alone is enough proof of that, and the entirety of Z was about Gohan having innate potential and reaching that potential.
@@azurewriter8347 people sleep on deku just because they don't like the anime, he's very hard working even when gifted one for all. People seem to conveniently forget that he was breaking his bones just to use his power, and trained to use it more effectively over the whole series.
@OMG_YGO i think it's like sanji case (sanji was born superhuman but he had to rely on training and martial arts throughout almost all arcs, yet when he unlocked his genes people think he was just born strong), just on a higher scale, deku was given one of the strongest quirks, that also had 6 other quirks, people ignoring that izuku had to train to even use the base form of one for all and didnt unlock the quirks until later, just like some people ignore the fact sanji didn't have super humans genes since the beginning (again not everyone ignores sanji like they ignore deku, but sanji is the best way I can explain this)
The problem is you could say this about almost anyone in the gifted catagory.
@@herdoman5169 that's why these lists are flawed
@@OMG_YGO agreed and usually they just heard on like shorts or tiktok but nvr actually watched or read the show or manga
I think the problem with the Hard Work Vs Gifted debate is that more often than not people end comparing Hard Work Vs *Potential* rather than talent, and those are two things that you can't really compare
Look at Goku, for example, although in this one he's in the hard working category, I've seen many people call him gifted for the seamlessly endless saiyan potential (which is true), even though Goku has spent literal decades training and fighting to earn his current strength
They need to put meruem if anyone in gifted, that mf was literally born the strongest🙏🏾
Goku's whole character when it comes specially to his power growth revolves around him constantly breaking and surpassing his limits. I think people forget that he was classified as a low class warrior because of his low potential, which means he was never even supposed to be even as strong as Radditz.
Goku is definitely hard work, along with many other of the hero characters.
The "gifted" ones are the villains. Like Cell who ate a bunch of people and two androids and gained insane power. Or Frieza who does like two pushups and instantly catches up to Goku and Vegeta.
@@Er-tiC-ris Truthfully, the Saiyans are an enigma since they're not really human. If we're looking at Goku strictly through the lens of a Saiyan, he'd be in the hard-working category, but there's no doubt that there are things that come naturally to a Saiyan when compared to a human, but then you get exceptions like Videl, Krillin, and Roshi.
Gohan, along with Trunks, Pan, Bulla, and Goten, are even more of an enigma since they're all human/saiyan hybrids.
Saitama is both gifted and hardwork but way more gifted,he's a superhuman,his cells upgrade themselves way faster and doesn't have limits,let's not forget that he defeated a monster with just 2 years of training(I think)which is inhuman
Naruto is literally the product of a 1000 years of eugenics
Wouldn’t have reached his latent potential without hard work tho

@@MrBuddy3055 He is kind of a 50/50, he might have the sun god fruit and be part of the D clan, but he still had to work really hard to get there
Nah, Boruto would be a better candidate for that.
Naruto still gained some perks from his clan, the Uzumakis, but that doesn't go beyond large chakra reserves, enhanced vitality and enhanced healing factor separate from being Kurama's jinchuriki.
Naruto still had to work hard before he could even begin the effectively utilize his perks.
In fact, I would argue his perks were actually hindrances to his development in the early stages of his goal to becoming a shinobi.
Naruto is just blatantly a mixture of both, in fact almost everyone on this list is, on the gifted side to be exact.

The "Hard Work vs Gifted" debate exists only to glaze the characters you like and belittle the characters you dislike.
Specially because both in fiction and real life, most people use a combination of both, plus some luck.
It’s also stupid cause what makes one hard working? In the end all of these characters are gifted with something that’s very op or really good and they all had to train for it. People need to realize that getting an op ability doesn’t automatically make you “the strongest” without help or training

Most Characters are A Mixture. None are purely gifted (Except Maybe Gojo and Minato)
I would still say Gojo is a mix as seen with Yuta his technique is way harder to use than we think. And he is still very knowledgeable in combat and has been training since he was little I would say about 75% talent 25% hardworking but the hardworking can go up depending how you look at it

conquerors haki isnt something your born with you can develop the spirit of a conqueror at any point in life and he lost that protection after becoming a pirate and for genetics hes like 5:8 and all his strength comes from living in a dangerous jungle and his devil fruit until he awakened it was essentially a basic paramecia until he almost died from fighting for the 3th time that day

Ppl in the comments already mentioned it but JJK's power system is indeed based by talent, even Sukuna whos apparently been a rejected child and probably had to hone his skills alone with arguably a very mild CT (he just goes kinda crazy with it and makes it look top tier tho) is backed by insane amounts of CE and an amazing ability to adapt and learn with only watching something a few times.
Its also shown how Yuji (whos got Sukunas potential) in a single battle he HAD to adapt to, could scale up MASSIVELY in a really short amount of time given the right conditions

Plus Garp said he was born with the power of conquerors haki. We barely see him train at all yet he continues to become stronger.
Tbf on luffy isn’t going on the brink of death to become stronger apart of the power system cause since the time skip after fishmen island he was fighting people way above him and surviving.

@@skywraith6454 Exactly! Luffy barely got anywhere after 10 years then he set off on his journey and grew exponentially stronger in short period of time.

Luffy grew stronger quickly because he is a gifted fighter who now had real enemies,experience and training. Everyone on the list worked hard in some way but for characters like luffy the hardwork they put in wasn’t what allowed them to get so strong but was instead their own gifts.

Bro, Naruto learned something that is supposed to take 8 years to learn in 1 week 💀
Minato took 3 years to create Rasengan. Where did 8 come from?
@@crono276 isn’t he a prodigy? I don’t think you take a prodigy, and then say what they do is average. I don’t know what the person is saying is true or not. I am just pretty sure you don’t take a prodigy than say what they did is average.
@@galaxyofizanami no one mentioned averages
@@crono276 supposed to basically equal average in the situation. I don’t think that was that hard to understand.
I will give you an example . It is supposed to take 2 years to learn this math subject. That right there basically equals average.
It averagely take two years to learn this math subject .
@@galaxyofizanami *yawn* boring condescension, but anyways, whats the point of your first comment?
Calling Sanji gifted
His “gifts” didn’t even appear until Wano and they almost made him want to quit on life
"Trained his BOTTOM OFF" Bro did not have to say that😭🙏🏻
i think people saying naruto is gifted is bc of the anime constantly stating "naruto has an immense chakra pool because of the uzumaki family and kurama inside him" and "naruto is the reincarnation of ashura, the son of kaguya"
Sanji powers literally awakened in wano. Before that he was just a normal human dude. Still he was the 3rd Strongest.
Gohan as a Kid had done a lot of training.
Naruto also had to train himself to actually control chakra.
The perfect example of gifted one is Yuno from Black clover or Frieza from Dragon ball.
Saying gojo ain’t gifted in actually worthy of study.
I agree especially for Yuki bro had one of the craziest traumas ever
Nah I’m sorry Gohan absolutely belongs in gifted.
Bro went from a power up he got in Z to being on par with UI in a single movie.
Calling sanji gifted like it didn't take literally over a 1,000 chapters for his latent abilities to manifest, and the whole reason he has imo one of the most tragic backstories in the series imo (in a series known for its tragic backstories) is because he never manifested those latent abilities during his childhood.
Are we going to ignore that one chapter were he conveniently awakened his germa genes.
1000 chaptes my man whole story takes place in less than 3 years tho
He only trained for 2 years(once) compare to zoro training his whole life everyday and some how zoro level?
That's truly being gifted
How does even yuji power gifted
excuse me
I swear if people start saying goku isn’t hard work, if it wasn’t for his hard work he would be a low class very weak saiyan, and while yes his saiyan potential helps him a little weve seen him surpass characters with much more potential with hard work, the saiyan saga is literally about hard work over natural talent and goku is the symbol of hard work in that arc
I dont think you understand this. The people in gifted also worked hard but hey just have that x factor you know and goku definetly does. The most egregious example of this is the super saiyan god ritual. This is a mega power boost ritual only saiyans can do that puts them on equal footing with gods. To say that this and zenkai boosts arent major gifts that goku has are just ignorant i dont see namekians getting this. But like this whole schtick is stupid all most all anime characters are gifted with something and work hard to bring their talent out
@@herdoman5169 The Zenkai thing is fair but the ssj god ritual was only possible because of Goku and the choices he made by sparring people, which he could only do through his hard work, the zenkai thing is valid tho, it’s just that they’re only a main player in one arc (namak) and at the beginning of the next arc piccolo is already on par with goku again
He’s both
@@herdoman5169😂😂super saiyan god was a shortcut for a brief time vegeta attained it without any ritual and that was due to the need of the time
And how TF is zenkai boost a gift when you literally have to almost die to get somewhat strong 😂
Goku and kriillin were almost equal in the start of their journey
Gohan has had his potential magically unlocked multiple times. Thats pretty gifted
Nah, Gohan is absolutely gifted. Let's not forget that at 4 years old he momentarily became the strongest character we've ever seen at that point in the show despite the fact that he had never even thrown a punch before
How tf is someone like Luffy a hard worker but Naruto is someone gifted? The bias these fans have bruh
Yes luffy is hard worker because he trained when he was 7 to 17 years old and he even trained two years after that.
Naruto isnt gifted huh???
@@PrinzDeedatDitucalan Naruto was literally training in a ninja academy since like 5 years old bruh.
@@MandatoryFruityea but having the nine tails and being the reincarnation of an effectively god of chakra at birth gives him the talented moniker while luffy does have coc haki and is a d member he still had to train to unlock it and needed to awaken his fruit which he needed to train for
@@Finalslashes luffy got one of if not the strongest devil fruits as a child I would say he is both hard working and gifted
Really wish Deku would get more respect when it comes to his work ethic. Even after he got one for all he never stop training to improve.
Deku was hard working
Guys. Gohan literally just got a transformation after talking about ants for a year. He started out hardworking but now he just gets power for no reason
Some of these character are a mix pf gifted and hardworking
especially Yuji
Idk what you say but Ichigo,sanji,yuji and boruto they all were born with the elite genetics
no yuji grew alot he worked hard
Tbf Boruto's birth genetics wasn't up to the potential, His sister got the best of the genepool. Boruto got his genetics overwritten by elite otsutsuki later tho.
Sanji ran nonstop for two years to unlock skywalk
No
Gojo did have to train his limitless, but the guy forced curses to get stronger by being born, that is the definition of being gifted
Saitama is definitely gifted - he worked hard for a human sure but he did not work ‘I can destroy the entire earth with one punch and am the strongest human alive’ hard. Just did some normal training for 3 years and boom One Punch Man.
@turt1100
Erm, no. He trained and fought to the death with opponents 5 times stronger than him. He achieved such power not because of his talents, but solely because of his hard work
@@faredark956 im just saying that the efforts he went through don’t justify how absurdly strong he is. Someone like mumen rider has been a hero for years and is willing to fight monsters 100s of times stronger than he, yet he is stuck in C class (could maybe be low B class). Guys like Bang have devoted their entire life to training, improving their skill and power while defeating countless monsters yet compared to Saitama they’re all nothing. Saitama was gifted his strength by having his limiter broken, something that no one else on the planet has even if they train longer and harder.
@turt1100
Have you ever read manga? Anyone in the OPM can break the limiter and become as strong as Saitama. I can give Garou as an example. He did the same thing as Saitama and started breaking the limiter six months later. That breaking your workout limiter is not enough. You need to literally be on the brink of death as often as possible and train in order to become stronger. Mumen rider cannot become stronger because he does not train and does not want to become stronger, only to protect people. People who do not have a goal to develop in OPM will never become strong, and even more so they are not able to break their limiter. This makes Saitama and Garou special.
@@faredark956honestly this breaking the limiter makes no sense
It's like Zenkai boost but opm version
Every character is a blend of hard work and gifted in some way
Gohan is gifted tho, beast form says it all
Pretty much everyone here is a mix of both. I don't understand this debate
Saitama? Bro worked for 3 years daily to do something that took someone else 6 months (at most) AND starved himself by eating 3 bananas a day, no way he is gifted
Plus he failed the smarts exam, ain’t no way he’s gifted
Rock lee and saitama
@@SergeantCharlesCalvinGreatest He a mixture of both💀. He did train, but he was gifted with insane raw strength that rivals God is definitely gifted. Especially in a short time
@@randybrown5031 Cosmic Fear Garou.
Deku and Saitama ought to switch places
@RenderingUser
No, you wrong my guy
@@faredark956 literally how? Deku worked atleast 10 times more than Saitama ever did
@RenderingUser
Has Deku been training for 3 years? No. Did he train to exhaustion, stretching muscles and bones, without preparation at any time of the year, without air conditioning, eating only a banana? No. Has he fought monsters that are 5, 10, 15 or 100, 1000 times stronger than ordinary people? No. So why the hell are you trying to change anything? Without his abilities, Deku is an ordinary athlete, nothing more. Saitama was literally on the verge of death all this time to gain his power.
@@faredark956Saitama fought those monsters while being as one punch man
Hate to say this, but his training alone ain't gonna make him this powerful + what deku has done is far more worst than having no ac or eating only banana
@@faredark956 bruh. Saitama did standard strength training. Sht would be aced by normal people irl. And for that he was given unlimited power. That sht definitely wasn't earned. Without his powers, Saitama wouldn't even qualify for the Olympics.
You're definitely neither
Ngl most of these characters are a mix of both. They were gifted but had to work hard to master them.
W short Jae you are a great RUclipsr and I hope you know that you have a lot of people who look up to you.😊
Deku is the only one that should be in gifted ONLY because he was gifted his powers. I’m not denying he worked hard, he did. It’s just that objectively, he was the only one who needed to get something.
Have you read bleach
@@Glis54No
@@justinn8541akaDrPokemon yeah but still he belongs in the hard work category for all the training he did to master his powers
@@Tboss12345 I understand. There is no Shonen Jump protagonist who isn’t in hard work due to them literally training.
@@justinn8541akaDrPokemon but he didn’t have powers to begin with
Imma be real putting ichigo in gifted is an insult and a half to the man.
Yeah he has a bit of every race in him, and I can’t deny that. He’s also reached extreme milestones that most shinigami could reach in a hundred years.
Actually, that’s exactly the reason why he shouldn’t be considered gifted, almost every single time he’s gotten a power up, it’s either something that took control of him or something that was rushed in a few days time that really should have taken years to learn, understand, and utilize. He had to force out Zangetsu and take his challenge that was never really explained to him what the purpose of the challenge was or how to complete the challenge. He spent 3 full days fighting old man Zangetsu without a single clue of what he was doing, only to IMMEDIATELY have go and stop a weapon with the strength of a million zanpakutos, and then immediately fight one of the trickiest captains to fight, all while not having gotten any rest, and only moderate healing, while also having never even activated his bankai before.
That’s only one situation, there’s others such as kisuke throwing him into a hole with his hands tied behind his back and being told “either come out as a shinigami or have your soul eat itself).
I love Ichigoat but it's obvious he's gifted, the kind of training he went through can only be fulfilled by the gifted, take Kisuke throwing him into the hole for an example, if it were to be any other they would have become a hollow and killed, the "thing always taking control of him" is literally something he was gifted with and has another one that has been saving his a55 from death when he's supposed to be cooked, he's made to he the best, the perfect hybrid of a races I don't know how someone's more gifted than that.
@@IsntmypfpdisgustingHe wouldnt have had into a dangerous situation that he could have die if not becuz that OMZ is holding his powers back, and the top of that, his Shinigami combat pass is limiting his strength and only releasing 20% or might be even lower lvl of his already limited power, although yes he got saved becuz White released some of his real power.
@@marktheisekai32 how does this disprove that he isn't gifted?
@@Isntmypfpdisgusting Just saying.
Ichigos training doesn't even add up to a year and hes one of the strongest characters in the verse
Personally I do think Deku is valid, he only put in hard work after one of the best quirks was handed to him on a silver platter, and after he lost it he completely abandoned his dream until he had an Iron Man suit handed to him on another silver platter
He trained for 10 months before he ever got the quirk
How he abandon his dream when he was a teacher at UA trying to train the youth to become great heroes
In defense for Deku on the first silver platter All Might had no intention giving it to him in the first place if it wasn’t for him risking his life trying to save Bakugo. Second one is valid though.
First off:
What is training really hard but staying a normal human doing? Kid katsuki in middle school would be above deku no matter what simply because he has a good quirk and deku has none.
The gap wouldn't change and he'd just end up a cop or firefighter like all might suggested.
Second off:
post war he already decided what he wanted to do once he lost the embers of OFA and that was to be a teacher to train the new generation of heroes with his skill, experience and knowledge
@@EmmzMC he went to the GYM for 10 months and is hard working? He cannot be compared to the above 8 so he must go to gifted
It’s crazy how Sanji is able to keep up with Zoro when he doesn’t even train half as often
Asta and Yuno are the perfect representation of Hard Work and gifted
As someone who doesn’t even like Sanji all that much, Sanji is def more of a hard worker than he is gifted.
Remember, he didn’t even actually have his modifications or raid suit up until Whole Cake. Up until then, he was literally just a regular human being. Even without his modifications and suit I’m pretty sure he was stronger than the rest of his siblings.
Gohan is absolutely gifted. Dragon ball is always reminding us how gifted he is by doing the same loop over and over again. Gohan doesn't train and gets washed, he trains for like a week and he's either the strongest or in the top 5. It's that or Gohan doesn't train, gets mad and instantly becomes number 1 in the verse.
Don't believe me? We have an entire movie about it.
Bro Gojo is definitely Gifted. It's his Primary character premise 😭
Deku quit literally from a npc to the mc.
ichigo is literally the definition of gifted
Gojo didn't have to train, he just had to try, he's definitely gifted, the reason he finds hard to teach anything to his students is that everything is easy to him
"Trained his bottom off" Whats bro tryna say 😭🙏🙏🔥🔥😜
"Trained His Bottom Off" I Mean He Ain't Wrong his Bottom did Fall Off
Gojo was gifted with "can't touch me if I don't want you to," and worked hard to get, "can't touch me even if I'm unconscious, and I can work you and your whole squad if I did allow you to bypass"
Luffy is both gifted and hard working NGL
19 and being able to fight off 5 goroseis and admiral
And a emperor
In just 2 arcs is crazy ass plot Armor or gifted powrr
I mean ichigo got gifted with every kind of race on the verse so hes definitely pretty gifted
thats the thing, to get as strong as these people are, you need to be both gifted and hard-working
"DODGE" -Piccolo
People for whatever reason dont think you can work hard to get strong while also being gifted 💀
If that's the case, then except for Lee everyone here is gifted
Gojo is gifted regardless. Infinity made it hella easy for him
Gohan scream and was ultra instinct levels of power
Deku had to train for 6 months just to get the power and even when he gets it he brakes apart of him every time. Hes not gifted hes hardworking. If you say hes gifted consider yourself a opp
Ah yes, the extreme hard work saitama did, the intense training that a regular person definitely can't do
Yes lmao he's the most gifted mc in shonen
Literally did athlete level workout and became multi solar system level like how
@martialabyss7997
Yes, only Saitama, in addition to his training, was on the verge of death many times and overcame it. In his universe, everyone can become stronger through strong emotions, desires and near-death experiences. As an example, I can take the same Garou
@OvercookedOmlette
Exactly the opposite. Saitama trained to death and it was thanks to this that he was able to reach this level. And by the way, Saitama is capable of destroying galaxies and has a universal hax. Saitama is universal lil bro
@@faredark956he was on the verge on death in monster fights, not in his training. His training is something that even I can do out of shape, only tuff part is the 10 kilometer run.
@TheAndyJaramillo
Saitama started doing these exercises from the very beginning of training until exhaustion. You will die if you do a lot at once, without preparation
The truth is that talent (gifted) is nothing without work, so every character who is gifted has to train at a moment
I feel like whenever someone makes a list like this they should add a “both” section
Gojo is 100% gifted everything you said about gojo applies to every other gifted character as they all had to train their abilities and bodies even though they are gifted.
The fact that no one else can get gojos abilities no matter how long they train unless their born with it or have a special ability proves his gifted
Even the people in gifted had to work hard though
Ichigo got 5 races in his body, absolutely crazy, he is very gifted
Deku being gifted?
Bro this person who made this clearly never watched anime😂
