Link Click- has some similar plot points to tokyo revengers, but quality wise, its miles ahead

Vinland Saga is arguably the best 'real world' action show that ive seen

also vagabond and kingdom are insane (manga)

I know but mostly Shounen are unrealistic.
They mostly focused on flashy fight scenes.
Actually I didn't read the whole forum😁😁😁

Jujutsu Kaisen has a lot of characters that are similar to normal people in the real world ..
AOT even for its originality in terms of world building has also a lot of characters/events that can be put in our world easily
Death Note , I don't think I should elaborate more because it's pretty much obvious

Maybe there's more but mainly these are the only examples that I can think of rn
But since you asked about shounen in particular, then yeah you wouldn't find any series except these few ones or a couple more that can be related well to our world, because the shounen genre isn't meant to start in reality or have some deep and relatable characters/events since most of them have fantasy elements before anything

Vinland saga is definately my favourite real world action (tbh a lot of historical shounen could be considered as good anime which is related to the real world).

Edit: Just realised that vinland saga is seinen lmao

According to me Tokyo Revengers because it's realistic...it just shows action, emotions ,feelings...everything and in further you'll get to know the dark impulsive of Mikey. Because every person hai this dark side and some gets it more...

that doesn't matter at all. If something is published in a seinen magazine, it's a seinen and if it's published in a Shonen magazine, it's a shonen.
If naruto were published in a seinen magazine, it'd be seinen too

GTO easily by far. If Tokyo Revengers opens the floodgate of delinquents mangas from Shonen Champion to be adapted then there are dozens of them that will be better than this show.

Idk if this counts but Death Note, despite having a shinigami realm and the existence of the death note itself, its placed in the real world and contains nothing else of the supernatural nature. IMO the best show I have seen.

Any sort of combat sports and delinquent shounen series would be the most related to real world as they take place directly in a realistic setting while also being heavily dependent on action.
The best ones I'd have to say are Ashita no Joe, Hajime no Ippo and Shounan Junai Gumi.

No, they can't
An anime is shounen because it got published on a shounen magazine

So, original anime can't be shounen.

If I have to say Baki kay is the best. it doesn't have an insane power scaling like other animes and it is just about one's physical strength and skills.

One of my favorites is Link click. It’s moreover mystery than action but it’s basically how takemitchy goes back in time and fights to solve problems. They use time travel to go back in time and solve past cases.

“Action” The only action in Yosuga no Sora is the sperm racing to the egg in the twin sister’s uterus

He did them in different timelines. If he soloed 5 women in the same timeline now that would be truly impressive
