Recently, a heated debate emerged on the dedicated Reddit forum for anime, quickly turning into a trending topic among fans. The central theme of discussion was: “Which anime character do you hate the most?”
The seemingly simple question sparked a flurry of opinions, where users passionately discussed various characters, revealing a plethora of negative sentiments within the fan community.
The initial post, made in one of the largest anime-centric communities on Reddit, garnered thousands of responses within just a few hours. Fans not only shared their personal opinions but also engaged in extensive discussions regarding the reasons behind their disdain for specific characters.
Many users pointed out that the characters they hated often shared certain common traits. Some users specifically called out characters who acted selfishly, causing emotional distress to other characters or the audience due to their actions and decisions.
Interestingly, there are also individuals who have publicly expressed strong feelings about certain characters, asserting that their hatred for these characters is an integral part of the narrative design, enhancing the role of these characters within the story.
Below are some representative comments from fans about the anime characters they hate:
– Bondrewd from Made in Abyss. He has committed many horrific acts, including those against his own adopted daughter. Bondrewd forced this girl to endure numerous terrifying experiences, all to see if her feelings for him would change compared to the countless others he has manipulated.
– Rachel from Tower of God. Rachel is the main character’s childhood friend, but she ultimately betrays him, using deceit to climb the tower while completely sidelining him. She constantly seeks the main character’s attention, even at the expense of his feelings.
– Malty from The Rising of the Shield Hero.
– Light Yagami (despite him being a favorite character of mine in Death Note) or Hisoka (also a favorite in Hunter x Hunter). It’s frustrating that I can deeply hate a character I otherwise enjoy.
– Mahito or Danzo. I know it’s irrational to hate them, but I still do.
– Gabi from Attack on Titan. She has single-handedly ruined my experience with the series.
– Zenitsu from Demon Slayer. While I find him annoying, I can’t help but appreciate his character development in certain scenes, although his constant cowardice can be frustrating, especially in long episodes that drag on.
– Kazuya from Rent a Girlfriend.
– I can’t say for sure if he’s the most hated character, but my roommate and I both despise Jiraiya from Naruto.
– Ochako Uraraka, primarily because she indirectly caused the death of Himiko Toga.
– I have an irrational hatred towards Danzo and Boruto.
