Anime fans, gather ’round! We’re diving into the world of insufferable characters that make us reach for the remote. From perverts to psychopaths, these are the anime personalities we’d gladly erase from existence.
10 Worst Anime Character Personalities We’d Love to Delete, grind our gears and know why they’ve earned their spot on our deletion wishlist.
1 The Perverted Pest: Minoru Mineta (My Hero Academia)
Minoru Mineta from “My Hero Academia” takes the crown for most annoying pervert in anime. His constant lewd behavior towards female classmates is not just cringe-worthy, it’s downright creepy. Despite occasional heroic moments, Mineta’s perverted nature makes him a character many fans would happily delete.
2 The Manipulative Menace: Myne (The Rising of the Shield Hero)
Myne from “The Rising of the Shield Hero” is the epitome of a despicable character. Her false rape accusations and multiple assassination attempts against the protagonist have earned her universal hatred among fans. Myne’s selfish actions and lack of remorse make her a prime candidate for deletion.
3 The Useless Teammate: Sakura Haruno (Naruto)
Sakura Haruno from “Naruto” remains a controversial character years after the series’ end. Her initial uselessness, obsession with Sasuke, and perceived lack of character growth frustrate many fans. Despite some development, Sakura’s inconsistent behavior keeps her on many “worst character” lists.
4 The Sadistic Torturer: Jason (Tokyo Ghoul)
Jason from “Tokyo Ghoul” represents the darkest side of anime villains. His sadistic pleasure in torturing others, especially protagonist Kaneki, makes him one of the most reviled characters in anime history. Jason’s perverse enjoyment of suffering pushes him beyond typical villain territory into truly despicable realms.
5 The Jealous Ex: Mami Nanami (Rent-a-Girlfriend)
Mami from “Rent-a-Girlfriend” embodies the toxic ex-girlfriend trope. Her attempts to sabotage the protagonist’s new relationship and manipulate his emotions have made her a character fans love to hate. Mami’s jealousy and manipulative nature earn her a spot on our deletion wishlist.
6 The Unrepentant Killer: Gabi Braun (Attack on Titan)
Gabi Braun from “Attack on Titan” earned fans’ ire for killing a beloved character. Her apparent lack of remorse and seeming invincibility further grate on viewers’ nerves. Gabi’s plot armor and escape from consequences make her one of the most despised characters in recent anime history.
7 The Mad Scientist: Shou Tucker (Fullmetal Alchemist)
Shou Tucker from “Fullmetal Alchemist” is universally reviled for his unforgivable act of fusing his daughter and her dog into a chimera. His cold, calculating nature and lack of remorse for his actions cement his place as a character fans would gladly erase from existence.
8 The Entitled Brat: Shinji Matou (Fate/Stay Night)
Shinji Matou from the “Fate” series is the epitome of an entitled, abusive brat. His treatment of his sister Sakura and his constant whining about his perceived inadequacies make him utterly insufferable. Shinji’s cowardice and cruelty earn him a spot on our deletion list.
9 The Psychopathic Yandere: Yuno Gasai (Future Diary)
While some fans adore her, Yuno Gasai from “Future Diary” represents the dangerous extreme of the yandere archetype. Her obsessive love for the protagonist and willingness to murder anyone who gets in her way make her a terrifying character. Yuno’s psychopathic tendencies and lack of boundaries push her into deletion territory for many viewers.
10 The Arrogant Bully: Gilgamesh (Fate Series)
Gilgamesh from the “Fate” series embodies arrogance and entitlement. His belief that everything in the world belongs to him and his cruel treatment of those he deems inferior make him a character many fans would happily delete. Despite his occasional charisma, Gilgamesh’s overwhelming hubris and disregard for others earn him a spot on our list.
