Oh man, this was a hard one to figure out. Like, what to pick? There are just so many! I had to basically reread the entire comic for all of the Johnny parts to make my decisions. It was a struggle to narrow it down to 5, but narrow it down I did.

In chronological order: My Top 5 Johnny Moments

1) Johnny’s Philosophy

So this was after Johnny’s first fight with Max at school, and was genuinely impressed with  Max’s courage to fight (even if Max did lose) so it turns out that Johnny can be a pretty cool guy. He is actually talking to Max, asking where he got the skills, like just a casual friend.

But what I like this moment because it really establishes the idology of Johnny. It reminds me a lot like Luffy from One Piece. There is no need to get caught up in the details, Johnny just cuts to the chase and finds the simplest answer there is. Sure, tosome people it might seem harder to bust through walls than to walk the path, but to Johnny it is easier to make your own shortcut than get thrown off course.

2) Meeting with Isaac and Max

Like, there was no reason for him to do this. He just does it because he feels like fighting and he wanted to fight. But instead of fighting immediately, he first follows Ollie’s advice to talk first then fight. So he did talk and explained that he was still feeling an adrenaline rush from fighting some other kids, and after he talked, he got approval to keep on fighting.

3) Friendship Values

I still can’t get over this scene. Like, we have seen before how close Johnny is with his friend, but this was like the first time we see how deeply he respected them. Not for the first and not for the last, but he would never use his friends as anything less than what they are, and he would always be there for them too.

4)

First, he’s doing arts n’ crafts in the middle of class

Second, he’s doing serious discussion about conspiracies while doing arts n’ crafts

Third, this means they brought their own supplies to prepare for arts n’ crafts

This is just adorable

5) Dodgeball Warrior

So the entire Dodgeball game was just nuts to watch, but this was like my favorite part from it.

Isabel found a way to end the game without anyone getting hurt, but Johnny refuses to back down.

He knows that Hijack is gunning for him and his friends, but instead of being “out” of Hijack’s line of fire he stands his ground. Johnny is not backing down. If he did, then what was the point of everything that his team and friends went through if he just quit now. This is another moment that reminds me of Luffy, where Johnny just has the determination to keep fighting.
