Genki Spark vs Shounen Protagonist

Both make rooms brighter. Only one of them is also chasing something.

Genki and shounen share the same outward emotional voltage and the same warmth toward almost everyone. The split is direction. A genki spark is a social force multiplier — they make problems into adventures and people into a team, and that is the whole job. A shounen protagonist is also chasing a specific impossible thing, and the brightness is partly fuel for that mission. If you light up rooms but feel uncomfortable without a goal, you are shounen.
