^The thing with standard shonen MCs is that a few compromises can be made to compensate for their rash behaviour/idiocy.

1. They can be a natural genius at fighting despite being a hopeless idiot 3/4 of the time. (This is the usual route that a standard shonen MC follows)

2. They can naturally/organically grow and further their abilities by receiving training from a sensei/senpai/rival/other character.

3. They receive outside assistance while fighting via communication device or bystanders giving them little hints/pointers as to what the enemy's habits or weaknesses are.

Black Torch's MC is a mix of 1 and 3. He showed adaptability when fighting and he would get advice/assistance from Rago or his teammates on how to effectively use his powers. It's a shame we won't get to see what he's capable of without Rago tho.

Conversely, Yuuji from Jujutsu Kaisen would be a mix of 1 and 2. Not so much a genius, but he has a general idea of how to combat impurities and he's currently receiving training from Not-Kakashi in the most unconventional way possible. lol
