Would Ousama Ranking’s Approach to Disability Representation Change Anime’s Future

Honestly, seeing Ousama Ranking handle Bojji’s journey is like watching history being rewritten for anime heroes. The way his disability isn’t just a background detail but actually shapes who he is—without making him a stereotype—was wild to see. Even when Kage tries to help and ends up causing more chaos than support, it gives everything a lighter vibe. I can’t help but think studios will start paying more attention to this kind of representation, making future shows deeper and more relatable. What if this is the shift that finally pulls disability narratives out of the sidelines? Feels like waiting for Bojji’s next step—seriously, can’t predict what’s coming. What do you all hope changes next?

Bojji honestly set a new bar. It felt refreshing to see the show not treat his disability as something he “overcomes,” but as just a real part of him. It made everything more believable and emotional. I hope other anime drop the clichés and start respecting nuanced characters like this too.

Bojji just existing on screen as the MC feels revolutionary. Usually, disabilities get glossed over or just used for extra drama, but Ousama Ranking actually lets his struggles and triumphs breathe. It’d be cool if this becomes a trend, with more MCs who aren’t cookie cutter perfect but still drive the story.
