So, one day I was sitting around thinking about how Goku from Dragonball has nothing but stolen and cribbed techniques from other characters.
Every move he has, from the Kamehameha, to the Instant Transmission, to the Kaioken and Spirit bomb is something he learned from someone else.
Even stuff like Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan God,
Super Saiyan God Super SaiyanSUPER SAIYAN BLUE are things any member of his race is capable of under the right circumstances. As an episode of Dragon Ball Z Abridged pointed out, the guy doesn't have a single technique he came up with on his own...And then I started thinking about other anime heroes, and in at least two cases, I realized Goku wasn't alone in that regard:
So now I'm wondering how many other manga heroes just learn or steal stuff from other characters in series. And that's the purpose of this thread. To find all these move thieves and list them off.
If you guys know any other characters (preferably main characters, but anyone will do) who's moveset is made up entirely of other characters moves, feel free to list them here. I find it fascinating to see how common this is.
