Recently, on the Reddit forum dedicated to anime, a heated debate broke out and quickly became a trend among fans revolving around the topic: “Which anime character do you hate the most?”
The seemingly simple question caused a storm of comments, in which users discussed characters who, for one reason or another, left a deeply negative impression in the fan community.
The initial post, made in one of Reddit's largest anime-focused subcommunities, attracted thousands of responses in just a few hours. Fans not only shared their personal opinions but also shared long discussions about the reasons behind their disdain for certain characters.
Some people point out that, in many cases, hated characters are people who cause disappointment to the audience due to their decisions, attitudes, or simply because of their role in the story.
Among the comments, it is frequently seen that many of the hated characters share certain characteristics. Some users mentioned that the most hated characters are often those who betray others, act selfishly, or even those whose actions negatively affect the main character or their loved ones.
However, there are still those who speak out in defense of certain characters, arguing that hatred towards them may be part of the author's narrative design, making their role effective.
Below are typical fan comments about hated anime characters:
– Bondrewd from Made in Abyss, he did more cruel things to many children, including his adopted daughter. Bondrewd forced his daughter to do many horrifying, painful things, all to see if his daughter's love would make any difference compared to the dozens of other children he did the same thing to. .
– Probably Rachel from Tower of God. Rachel is the main character's girlfriend, and while he tries to win her back, she cheats the system by using bodyguards and choosing a job that keeps her from participating in the battle. She always ignores the main character's feelings and only wants attention, even betraying him.
– Malty từ The Rising of the Shield Hero.
– Light Yagami (even though he's my second favorite character in Death Note) or Hisoka (even though he's my second favorite character in Hunter x Hunter). It seems like I really hate some of my favorite characters.
– Mahito or Danzo. I know they were written to be hated, but I still hate them.
– Gabi from Attack on Titan, she took my waifu's life.
– That's Zenitsu from Demon Slayer. Sometimes I admire him and think he's cool, but I can't stand it when he goes into cowardly and stupid flirting for a whole minute in episodes that last a total of 18 minutes.
– Kazuya from Rent a Girlfriend.
– I don't know if he's the most hated character, but my roommate hates Jiraiya from Naruto.
– Ochako Uraraka, simply because she was the cause of Himiko Toga's death.
– I have an irrational hatred towards Danzo and Boruto.
