For real though, if you're always getting hit, it's not uncommon to develop a rebellious and violent trait yourself.
A guy who's lived his whole life as a physical and verbal punching bag but still manage to get a hold of his wits and never throw a punch back. Dunno if I should be disappointed at a level 9000+ loser, or should be impressed that he's over 9000 and has the shounen willpower to be that much of a loser.
That said though, this is a wish fulfillment genre. It's irrelevant either way.
