teenagers can be quite enticing
characters especially in gaming we can
talk about it later welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
video game teen heroes is this the
future for this list we’re taking a look
at the heroes in gaming who hover
between childhood and adulthood each
bringing their own unique twist to the
teenage experience well I didn’t ask for
this
our focus is strictly on teen heroes who
are either the lead character or a major
character in their respective games
number 10 April Ryan the longest journey
series don’t tell me I’m dreaming can
ordinary art student or destined heroine
that’s the question surrounding April a
young woman steadily being drawn into
the magical realm of Arcadia I feel like
someone’s staring at me
what makes April interesting is that
despite being a teen she maintains a
healthy balance between being snarky and
having the makings of an
honest-to-goodness Savior speak for
yourself
schmuck she’s resourceful quick-witted
and capable of appreciating the past as
much as she works towards assuring in
the future qualities we can respect I’m
tired of being responsible for everyone
I’m just tired
number 9 Mike Jones startropics
even in the early days of game
characters teenage heroes could be
awesome take this young lad for example
as the nephew of the famed scientist dr.
Jones Mike has quite a legacy to live up
to
fortunately the kid gets a chance when
his uncle goes missing and antagonistic
aliens are the culprits besides his use
of a yo-yo as a weapon Mike is primarily
defined by his perseverance and his
compassion he’s a friend to those in
need of help and he refuses to falter in
the face of adversity number 8
chrono chrono trigger appearances can
certainly be deceiving in chrono trigger
this silent red-haired boy is at first
glance a stereotypical teenager
seemingly unmotivated and not quite
heroic however as the game proceeds crow
knows true nature becomes clear he’s the
archetypal hero leading his friends and
comrades through time in order to right
the wrongs and save the world
on top of that noble Drive he’s no
slouch in combat chrono wields a katana
with which he doles out punishment fight
on chrono
number seven Juliet Starling lollipop
chainsaw don’t underestimate this
cheerleader especially when she’s
wielding a chainsaw this is so
irritating the middle child in a zombie
killing family Juliet was looking
forward to enjoying her 18th birthday in
style yet when her school gets overrun
by the undead she doesn’t hesitate to
jump into action and that’s where her
true character emerges I hear Viking
brains are good for the complexion
Juliet straddles the line between being
carefree and innocent and having the
kind of know-how to save those she loves
this all makes it uniquely thrilling to
watch her slicing night zombies while
never losing her charm
number six Sora Kingdom Hearts series
what’s going on here sometimes
friendship is the only power you need
for Sora one of the several denizens of
the Destiny Islands
this is everything there one make me
strong his loyalty to his friends and
allies is matched only by his talents at
wielding the Keyblade a magical tool
that selects its master and it chose you
in a twist of fate however Sora is not a
chosen warrior he’s instead just
passionate and sincere enough about his
love of friendship to earn that status
young though he may be we can’t deny
that Sora is strong at heart and worthy
of his place among the greats number
five Ryo Hazuki Shenmue II the city of
Yokosuka has a hero and his name is Ryo
his motivation is simple find the man
who killed his father and ransacked the
dojo he once called home father yet Ryo
is not a simple man though he fills his
time with practicing martial arts and
roaming the city as a loner he is not
without kindness or a soft-spoken nature
I’m fine really and you are you all
right and when it comes time to stand
his ground
he’s masterful in combat we can’t help
but root for him to succeed Oh number
four
Neku Sakuraba the world ends with you
and this game can afford to this
anti-social does not mean inhuman that’s
important to remember with Neku our
anti-heroic character in the world ends
with you awakening with his only
knowledge being his name this
psychologically gifted teen channels
negativity through and through shut up
stop talking he’s not keen on
socializing he hates it when society or
circumstance tries to restrict him and
he doesn’t think much of friendship I
don’t get people
never have never will drip that away
though and you have a quick thinking guy
who can hold his own in a fight
not to mention someone who cares about
people more than he lets on yeah sounds
great
number three Little Mac punch-out series
some kids like to talk some kids like to
punch Little Mac is the second kind a
silent seventeen-year-old who finds
himself pitted against some of boxing’s
toughest foes outside of the ring he
trains in his patented pink jumpsuit
with pride while in the ring he’s equal
parts fast and dangerous whether his foe
is an aged champion giant island king or
a raging group of smash brothers players
Mac proves that age has nothing on a
good uppercut
number two le The Last of Us who’s there
in the world of the Last of Us hope and
idealism are in short supply now you see
I believe and everything happens for a
reason
sure so it’s refreshing to find le
Joel’s apparent sidekick with a heart of
gold and a healthy dose of snark yeah no
shit she manages to keep things light
infusing tough or awkward situations
with wit and ensuring that Joel doesn’t
lose touch with his humanity what’s just
as impressive is how strong she is on
her own terms when the time comes for
her to defend herself le proves to be a
resourceful character we’re in dear to
her from start to finish only one
problem right there to be contained
you before we unveil our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions meteors are
kind of pretty actually those are also
are according to my celestial super
scalar they’re boggles your celestial
super scanner
you
hanging ropes are as good as stick
letters to those who know how to use
them long time no see
have you been practicing why not take me
on and find out number one Jimmy Hopkins
bully you must be the Hopkins boy
where’d you come from an unexpected hero
Jimmy defies many of the standard tropes
we shall see my friend I only give
people what they have coming to them
he’s left to the whims of fourth Academy
boarding school pulled between cliques
and called upon as an errand boy
you’re gonna play nice or what yeah sure
as a result Jimmy can be irritable
self-centered and somewhat hostile come
on give me a break
yet never really evil he still lends a
hand to those who ask for help and he
willingly helps friends with even the
oddest tasks what other person would
help fight off a group of students while
dressed as a ninja no one but Jimmy do
