Ok but rocks the fucking goat.

u/LiraGaiden 1d ago

Him daring her to shoot him and moving her arm away when she does was tuff as fuck

u/Arguably_Based 6d ago

Well he is only the main character.

u/Nervous_Pokke 6d ago

Both, revy and rock are the mc

u/Thick_Square_3805 3d ago

Rock is the main character because he’s the character through whom we experience the story. And it makes sense, to emphatique the savagery of the world and the badassry of Revy, you need to enter the story through a normal guy.

2

u/Nervous_Pokke 2d ago

Yes, and revy is the one that explains that world, saves rock ass and has multiple times and has a back and ford by their different outcomes. They’re both a set of protagonists that learn from each other and have their own story separately.

u/Novel_Visual_4152 2d ago

Yeah, like, they basically have an equal amount of screentime too lol

In fact, Revy is active in more arcs than Rock does at least in the anime

2

u/GilligansIslndoPeril 1d ago

Revy is basically the only character in the intro and is 100% the only character in the outro. The whole show is just "look at Revy go, she's so badass and sexy"

u/Thick_Square_3805 23h ago

And who looks at her ? Rock :D

Rock is the MC because he's the vision through whom the reader discover the story.

u/Arguably_Based 6d ago

And Revy gets talked about more.

u/ProfessionalTruck976 6d ago

Not that female dominated cast either to be honest

u/Mediocre_Forever198 6d ago

Plus Revy gets a lot of attention, arguably more popular and talked about than Rock 🤔. I don’t think it’s a good example at all.

u/Weird_Angry_Kid 6d ago

I haven't watched Black Lagoon but what do you mean Revy isn't the main character?!

2

u/Mediocre_Forever198 2d ago

I mean, she kinda is. I think many people see rock as the main character, interestingly I’ve seen people refer to the show as isekai but not really isekai, because rock is just this normal office worker who suddenly is thrust into this colorful modern piracy world. Revy is very important to the story too tho with many episodes focused almost entirely on her. So kinda they are both leads, but rock feels like the protagonist a little more.

Edit: btw I highly recommend it. I do think the first third of it is much better than the second two thirds, but it’s all worth a watch. The first 8 episodes or so are just awesome

u/Apart_Needleworker58 6d ago

Yes, tbh, I only know those two women

2

u/PatPeez 2d ago

I'd disagree, while the number of male vs female cast member might be similar (idk if this is true, I just can't recall every character so I'll just give you that) most of the big movers and shakers that we as the audience get to see for each "tier" of power are women. For the kind of ground level characters we've got Revy, her friend from the ripoff church, the chinese bounty hunter with the knives, the cleaner, Roberta, Jane the counterfeiter isn't strong like the others but was definitely someone important. Then for the big dogs we've obviously got Balalaika who is probably the most influential of the big movers and shakers we see in the story because we get to see her plans unfold while the only other person we really see on her level is Chang whose plots we don't get to see, and then there's the head nun of the ripoff church. So even if the numbers are equal when it comes to narrative weight I'd say the ladies pull ahead.

u/Gokusolos6000 6d ago

tbh Revy gets the most attention, a lot of folks who’ve never seen BL only know Revy lol

3

u/Lucidream- 6d ago

Do not abbreviate black lagoon as BL 😭

Although I would love to see some black lagoon BL

u/ZoraTheMaster 6d ago

Why lie?

u/Wongless_Burd 6d ago

Anything to get more people watch peak…

3

u/ZoraTheMaster 6d ago

Fair, Black Lagoon is peak anime.

4

u/YanderePrinceXOXO Astro Royale + Red Rising + The Hunger Games 6d ago

Underrated series tbh

u/DuelJ 6d ago edited 6d ago

Nah, The glorious Lotton the Wizard!!! is anything but bland, and clearly deserves all the attention and hype he gets and more!

Jest aside, Rock, while basic, is also one of the two main characters and has their arc tied with Revy's, so the level of attention he gets doesn't seem too disproportionate.

2

u/BigFlanTheMan 6d ago

I liked the black guy when I watched it

2

u/AdmirableVacation134 6d ago

It’s not really female-dominated though. There’s plenty of male characters. Hell, Revy’s the only woman of the main four.

2

u/Nervous_Pokke 6d ago

It’s more about what Rei Hiroe likes to portrait, revy is the gun of the lagoon, then you have balalaika who is the boss of hotel moscow one of the most powerful and influential mafias, then you have roberta being a killing machine being compared to terminator and having a whole arc. It’s very women-with-guns centered

2

u/TSSalamander 6d ago

not female dominated. it has a pretty even cast, though the women universally take the dominate while the guys are just like, utility. The entire cast is masculine btw. Any femininity is just cuz they're drawn that way. Revy literally gets emasculated at some point, very cool scene.

2

u/Clean-Elderberry8835 6d ago

Ngl Rock was the least interesting character to me, from start to finish.

2

u/Caramel_Cyber_8473 5d ago

Really??? I cared more about Revy, Eda, Balalaika, Shenhua, and Roberta. Who's Rock LOL.

Black Lagoon

u/Significant_Leave_24 5d ago

Honestly before I watched Black Lagoon I thought Revy was the main character

2

u/Microwaved_M1LK 4d ago

🚨Black lagoon mentioned🚨

u/Novel_Visual_4152 2d ago

Revy is far, far, FAR more popular than Rock
