The MMORPG of dragon ball had some of your ideas but had all the problems of a MMO of 2010. I genuinely think that the basis of the MMO: years after the end of Z the human + saiyajin became the norm on earth, is a good background for a RPG.
In the same vein of open world RPG I think Naruto could be really good, Naruto has some good dumb rules of the universe(that the author ignore) that could be translated to RPG elements for a character creation. Like the element of the chakra(earth, fire, water, wind), fighting style(ninjustsu, taijustu, genjutsu), Kekkei Genkai, the contracts for summoning(different animals, weapons, mythical creatures), the ninja ranks, the level of the missions, the different villages for different backgrounds and differents clothing styles, etc
I loved Naruto in the beginning where it was about outsmarting their opponents and playing to your strengths. Then it just became "my power level is X" "I'm on transformation y" and so on. But that's basically the issue with every shonen. It's always an interesting premise that then gets derailed with asinine statcirclejerking.
That's where one piece is at too these days :(
Maybe shaman king avoided it? Otherwise the only one I can think of would be full metal alchemist
I'm an absolute sucker for tournament arcs so the entire Chuunin exam bit was fun as hell. You got to see all sorts of wacky side characters get time in the spotlight, got to see some well animated fights, some clever tricks
And then shit goes flying off the rails later on when it truly becomes the Naruto and Sasuke show
:yea:
