Who depicted child soldier struggle and war like Naruto?None of this is exclusive to Naruto and is common in shonen
Yall forgot first gen?
Since the beginning with a Haku lending his person to become Zabuza's weapon because this is the closest thing to love he's ever known? Sacrificing himself because he considered himself as a tool?
Zabuza that had to kill at 8 or something because that's how they do in Kiri?
The harshness of a cast system represented through Neji's spell and the death of his father?
Gaara raised to be a weapon capable of inflicting massive damage and destruction to other villages? Forbidden to be loved and hated by everyone but actually mad necessary to the plan?
The despair and absurdity that reeks of Kakashi Gaiden when he has to kill or be killed by grown ass men during the war and had his friend died during it while he didn't even go through puberty?
I've yet to see another shônen delves that deeply into that topic... And that's one amongst all the topics Naruto first gen nails. But if you know them I'd be glad to know so I could read them
Naruto first gen was on the rails to be the goat blew it like a 40-1 lead
