...And I've given reasons to counter those reasons, I'm pretty sure most of the other people here would say that Solar having/being


 * Trained by Kass Captiveri (Rose's mother), and Rose Valentine herself, both princesses of Hell as part of the Purgatory District
 * Inheriting Fire and Electricity powers as part of family genes
 * Trained for a katana since the supposed age of nine (Though his age is truly ambiguous)

Would NOT be legit reasons for Solar being a Garry-Stu.

My counters
 * The combat teaching isn't necessarily the best. After all, they're princesses, let alone, he was taught with a Rapier
 * What's so bad about inheriting family genes that are actually a bit of a signature part of the whole family in itself.
 * We have kids out there with BLACKBELTS, Swordfighting is also a martial art, Solar used a katana to complement the frame his body is in, slim and limber. Let alone, he can practice with a weighted plastic sword (Polypropylene), then wood swords, then steel. What's so bad about someone making a choice like that when they want to?
