Meaning of Nakama power in anime and manga
In an anime, manga, and light novel [especially shounen].
Namely anime manga specifically for teenage boys. Especially anime themed
school battles, dramas, and romance. We often hear the term "nakama
power".
What do you think about this nakama power?. And how big is
his role in protecting the mc who is under pressure? Here's the full
discussion.
Meaning of nakama power
Nakama in Japanese, can be interpreted as a colleague,
colleague, friend, or friend. Nakama power in English is often known by the
term "power of friendship". Namely "the power of
friendship".
In the shounen manga anime, the power of friendship is
often the mainstay of the protagonist's stance when being pushed by an
opponent, or having other critical problems.
Nakama power / this power of friendship is abstract trust.
Where someone who thinks that by believing in the power of friendship, bonds of
friendship with others can increase the ratio of victory and ease in overcoming
various obstacles that exist. Can power up to increase the strength of a dying
mc. Become a plot armor in shounen stories generally.
Can nakama power spoil the storyline?
To spoil the storyline is definitely not, but to spoil the
fun is definitely yes. Because if our age is getting older, then when there is
an incident of nakama power. We don't think it's cool anymore [except when we
were kids, this is why nakama power is mostly found in shounen manga anime].
But what we think is that this incident is absurd, unrealistic.
Main protagonist and rival in anime
Most of the main protagonists in anime and manga are of
the popular shounen genre. Like Naruto, one piece, yugioh, fairy tail, boku no
hero academia, and so on are described as having similar characters. Where the
mc can be said to be a bit stupid, has a standard iq and some are even below
average. But the person is easy going, easy to make friends, and has big
dreams. Accompanied by hard work filled with slice of life with his closest
friends.
Meanwhile, their rivals usually come from among talented,
individualistic, closed people, relying only on their own strength. Without the
help of his friends. And at the end of the story, of course the rival lost
badly with the plot of the Nakama Power armor from the MC.
This certainly provides a lesson for the audience and
anime connoisseurs. That life in the world needs connections, aka friends and
insiders. Because humans are basically social creatures. How talented and great
we are, if we work and try alone. It must lose to people who gathered
[Together] with the same goal.
In the anime of course depicted with nakama power. Faith
mc who believes in the power of friendship. By trusting in friends and
companions, they have the power to Miraculously be updated and grow bigger
[especially in times of urgency].
That's what nakama power means. In the anime manga it
looks very unreasonable. Only believing in the bond of friendship alone can
increase strength, and can defeat all kinds of enemies and obstacles that come
in your way. But this is a metaphor, where the power of connections,
relationships, and insiders is in real life. It can make one's life easier.
Especially in the field of work.
That's all for this article, thank you for reading, see you soon.
