Bruno Buciarati from "JoJo's Bizzare Adventure" has God-like Writing
You're confusing competent character writing with godlike status. Buciarati is well-written, sure, but let's be precise about what that means. He's a loyal soldier with an internal conflict, executed cleanly across Golden Wind. That's solid character work, not transcendent. The real question you're dodging: what makes him "godlike" versus just a genuinely good character? His arc doesn't reinvent the medium. His personality doesn't challenge narrative conventions. He's emotionally coherent and thematically consistent, which is the bare minimum for premium storytelling, not proof of genius-level writing. What specific element of his character actually pushes beyond excellent into genuinely extraordinary?
The way he treats his team, which isn't another Team based on "Power of Friendship" Standards. He treats them as a family of course (As seen in many other media), saving their lives for better and himself having great backstory, at the critical moment at Diavolo's Island he gave them a choice; Either they go with him and betray the mafia or they stay and betray him, with Buciarati recommending second option, which for me is a good contradiction against any other simmilar moment in fiction
You're romanticizing pragmatism as moral sophistication. Buciarati telling them to stay isn't a contradiction of friendship narratives, it's just selflessness dressed up differently. Every parent, mentor, and loyal friend offers that same choice: abandon me for your safety. It's not subversive, it's archetypal. The real problem: you're confusing "character acts morally" with "writing transcends convention." His backstory explains his loyalty. His choice reflects his values. That's coherence, not genius. Plenty of fiction does this identically. What you're actually praising is competence at emotional authenticity, which matters but doesn't elevate him to godlike status. What specifically makes his choice fundamentally different from every other "I release you from obligation" moment?
