Japanese Pronouns And Anime Characters Theory

WARNING:
The following theory should not be taken seriously as it is not a valid theory. It is just a made up theory full of randomness.
Har de har har.


Last night shortly after Wayne started our Sannin Kai meeting, the three of us, Wayne, Ken and I discussed about the different Japanese pronouns, 'I', anime characters use and their characteristics. It all started with the new 'Tomodachi' Messenger Live Plus! sound Wayne made.

Tomodachi: "Boku dayo. Boku ga... Tomodachi dayo."

For some reason, Ken doesn't like the sound and he asked "Why 'boku'?". From here onwards, Wayne came up with a reason impromptu by saying all villains use 'boku' (僕). He provided a valid example and that is that Yagami Light uses 'boku'.

Light: "Boku wa Kira desu!"

Then Wayne proceeded with saying that 'watashi' (私) is for the good guys with the example, L uses 'watashi'.

L: "Watashi wa L desu~"

Ken says he uses 'ore' (俺) in which Wayne proceeds and says that 'ore' is for losers. The first example was Suzaku. Ken defends himself by saying that Tsuna uses 'ore' in which Wayne says Tsuna is a loser but he is not a total loser because when he goes into dying will mode his awesomeness deletes the title of 'loser'. I follow up with that Kamina uses 'ore' but because Kamina is so GAR, he is not a loser.

I also mentioned Syaoran uses 'ore' but I'm not sure if that's right. I think I remember him using 'watashi' in which I conclude that this theory only applies to a small field of characters.
