This is the character who is always trying to be the Ideal Man, usually by being brave, responsible, or chivalrous. He sometimes has some kind of inferiority complex due to an overbearing older sibling or father. He is sometimes heard shouting about being a man at the top of his lungs while posing dramatically on a rock (bonus points for crashing waves or a sunset). Generally on their way to being a badass of some form. Occasionally has an ill younger sister or Keet little brother. Oh, and never mention any child-like or cute attributes he might have. Compare with the The Idiot from Osaka, Hot-Blooded, No True Scotsman, and contrast Emo (in any of its forms), often overlaps with Loser Protagonist. Also heavily overlaps with I Just Want to Be Badass given that the concepts of badass and manly are frequently interconnected. Not to be confused with I Wanna Be the Guy, which is more Macho Masochism than it is manliness. Or Become a Real Boy, which is not about seeking manliness but humanity. Examples |

Practically the whole premise of Ranma ½ — Ranma constantly wants to reaffirm his masculinity, which is made more difficult due to his annoying habit of turning into a girl at inopportune times (especially because there's a Dirty Old Master around trying to force him to be his personal cheesecake model). He later learns he has a particularly good reason to be obsessed with manliness- his dad and mom made a promise that Ranma will commit seppuku if his mom decides he isn't manly enough- but he's plenty obsessed with being manly before he learns about that little detail. | |

Aki Shiina of Miss Caretaker of Sunohara-sou is a short, effeminate-looking middle schooler with a complex about both of the aforementioned. His series-wide goal is to become more manly, but everyone around him prefers him to stay his cute self and dote on him for it. | |

Two characters from the roleplay group Roulette Rampage share this desire: the first session's Ryouta Akagi and Reloaded's Kiyoyuki Irino. In the latter's case, it becomes his entire character arc for the game, as he's a short, fickle, androgynous-looking actor who desires nothing more than to become more masculine for the roles he wants to do. His idolization of Tetsuo Shingen is in part based on this desire, as he's everything he wanted to be as a man save for profession. Eventually he comes into his own by the end, but by being himself and finding his strength in emotion rather than in physicality or some other ideal. | |

From his childhood, Kamijo Hiroki of Junjou Romantica continually talks and worries about performing masculinity properly, leading to many of his relationship issues later in life, such as feeling unable to vocalize something as simple as "I want you to stay over tonight" because it shows weakness/sentimentality. Fortunately for him, his boyfriend overcompensates with his earnest and lovey-dovey behaviour. | |

Dave Strider in Homestuck has a fixation on becoming "a hero", like his unbelievably badass older brother. However, he later admits that his idea of "heroism" was really just another word for traditional masculinity, with its completely rigid and impossible standards of manliness that no real person could possibly live up to — and that he's now given up trying. He makes this realization in the process of discovering his own latent bisexuality, and also coming to the conclusion that his brother wasn't a "hero" or a "real man" but an abusive asshole who never deserved his respect or admiration anyway. | |

The Irregular at Magic High School: Minoru, who spent most of his life bedridden, places great importance on doing all the arduous, cool things a magician (especially a male one) might be expected to do. First on the list is protecting his Love Interest, which he fails at doing partly because she is an experienced bodyguard who is much more badass than him even with a fried Magic Calculation Area. The sequel shows that Minoru has taken up thrill-seeking pastimes like spacewalking, because he can. Fumiya is a prodigious magician and spy who nonetheless feels unmanly because his body is naturally slender and effeminate. (Apparently his female classmates consider him a "mascot" to be shown off and cooed over.) He has time to grow, but so far the hormones are just not kicking in. |

This is one of Sokka's motivations is Avatar: The Last Airbender. It's partly caused by the residual sexism of the Southern Water Tribe, but a lot of it also comes from him being a "Well Done, Son" Guy caused by his father and all the men in his tribe going to fight in the war and leaving him, a twelve-year-old boy, in charge of his village. The fact that he accidentally let his girlfriend turn into the moon probably didn't help, either. | |

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc: Chapter 2, "Boys' Life of Despair", features two characters with this motivation as its victim and culprit. The victim, Chihiro Fujisaki, is mentioned to have a "real complex about being weak", overlapping with I Just Want to Be Badass. Due to bullying all through his childhood for his small size and lack of physical strength, Chihiro chose to alleviate the problem by dressing in girls' clothes. Unfortunately, his drive to become stronger is what compelled him to contact the killer, who did not take it well. The killer, Mondo Owada, likes to keep up a tough facade as a biker gang leader to hide his instability after losing his older brother Daiya in a motorcyle accident that he believes he is responsible for. His obsession with the mere appearance of strength led him to murder the victim out of envy at the other boy's inner strength. |

In Captain Harlock, this is the defining characteristic of Tadashi Daiba, in both the first anime series and in the "Endless Odyssey" OAV series. In the latter, in fact, Daiba's father is so convinced that Daiba must become a man that he makes Captain Harlock promise to kill Daiba immediately if, for whatever reason, he thinks that Daiba cannot become a man — a promise that Harlock has no intentions of ever breaking, even if this means getting himself killed. | |

Marco from Star vs. the Forces of Evil has had this problem sometimes, but it's taken to extremes in "Running With Scissors" where he literally spends sixteen years in Hekapoo's dimension becoming big and muscular to track her down so he could prove himself and earn a pair of interdimensional scissors. She even gave him the option of going back to Earth originally. Unfortunately, he's only buff when he's in Hekapoo's dimension, and not anywhere else because time moves differently in that world. | |

My Hero Academia: The pursuit of manliness is a major part of Kirishima's characterization. He idolizes the strong and chivalrous Crimson Riot, describes his likes and dislikes as "manly" and "unmanly", and has a powerful Quirk and masculine interests (such as working out). This is partially driven by his own insecurity. | |

Mulan has a song called I'll Make a Man Out Of You where a training montage takes place where the army recruits get better and better at being soldiers. Particularly Ping, the kicker being that the audience is well aware that "Ping" is the very female Mulan in disguise. And it's Mulan having the smarts to figure out how to use the weights to shimmy up the pole and grab the arrow that turns the sequence from a failure montage into a string of positive moments. | |

One Piece: This is stated to be Usopp's dream. He refers to it as being a "true warrior of the sea", and takes inspiration from giants, who are the series' Viking analogues. Chopper qualifies too. In the Skypeia Arc, after he fails to protect the Merry from having the mast burned he jumps up onto the railing and begins shouting about how he's going to become 'a real man!' and never let his True Companions down again. While on fire from sheer determination to do just that. |

"The Last Real Man" Silas Young, who also demands a certain degree of manliness from all his associates (he has few friends). In Ring of Honor, he took it upon himself to teach Dalton Castle's boys how to be men when they were acquired by his Tag Team partner, The Beer City Bruiser. Young found his work was cut out for him when he had to stop them from using a women's bathroom. | |

Ensemble Stars!: Tetora's Establishing Character Moment comes when he stands on a stage and declares to the audience that his goal is to become A Man Among Men!! And he has a very specific idea in mind of who that is - his karate club senior Kuro, a very physically strong guy who is nonetheless disciplined and kind, and who is also capable of cooking and sewing to take care of his younger sister. Tetora worships him as his ideal role model, which makes Kuro pretty worried that he'll inevitably disappoint him someday. | |

A portrait of Hiccup and Stoick has Hiccup looking more muscular than he is in real life, making him feel like his father is disappointed in him. This prompts Hiccup to go on a dangerous treasure hunt that even Stoick was unable to finish. | |

Also, WWE's Santino Marella, though his methods to prove his manhood were questionable, such as trying to enter the "Miss WrestleMania" Battle Royal. | |

Osomatsu-san: Karamatsu, who by equating manliness with being a ladies' man wears Cool Shades all the time and tries to woo girls. How much does this work? Considering he was so desperate he tried to woo a(n actual) fish with a love letter, "it's not working" is an understatement. Made even worse by his 5 brothers, one of which is older, and the affection for Totoko which all 6 of them have. | |

Folding Ideas: The Foldable Human sees this as Jack's motivation for rebelling against society and starting a Fight Club. The reason why Jack wants to be considered masculine, according to him, is because he wants to feel like he fits in. Unfortunately, this doesn't cause him to become more responsible or brave, so much as more violent. | |

Dipper Pines also wants this in Gravity Falls. He shows great dislike for being called adorable, and the episode "Dipper vs. Manliness" is all about this trope and how it clashes with some aspects of his personality. However, he ultimately grows to reject societal views on masculinity and decides to just be himself. | |
