Hello Anime Fans! Today, we’re diving into the realm of the most hated anime characters. These are the characters whose actions and behaviors have stirred strong negative emotions within the fanbase.
They can make our blood boil! Let’s explore who tops the list of the most hated anime characters of all time.
08. Malty S Melromarc (The Rising of the Shield Hero)
- Anime: The Rising of the Shield Hero
- Role: The first princess of Melromarc.
- Why the Hate: Malty, also known as Myne, is infamous for her manipulative nature and her campaign of hate against the Shield Hero, Naofumi. She gained his trust only to falsely accuse him of heinous crimes and consistently plot against him. Fans particularly despise her betrayal of Naofumi’s trust.
- Fan Satisfaction: Many viewers found satisfaction when Naofumi finally got his revenge and Malty received her punishment from the Queen.
07. Mami Nanami (Rent-a-Girlfriend)
- Anime: Rent-a-Girlfriend
- Role: Kazuya Kinoshita’s ex-girlfriend.
- Why the Hate: After breaking up with Kazuya, Mami’s jealousy flares up when she discovers he’s dating the attractive and kind-hearted Chizuru Mizuhara. Driven by envy, she actively tries to sabotage Kazuya and Chizuru’s relationship, exploiting Kazuya’s good nature. Her manipulative attempts to break them up have earned her a spot as one of the most disliked characters.
06. Shou Tucker (Fullmetal Alchemist)
- Anime: Fullmetal Alchemist
- Role: A state alchemist specializing in bio-alchemy.
- Why the Hate: If you’ve seen Fullmetal Alchemist, you likely understand why Shou Tucker is on this list. His actions are deeply disturbing and unforgettable. Tucker infamously fused his own daughter, Nina, with their dog in a horrific experiment to maintain his state alchemist certification. The image of the resulting chimera with a human face is deeply unsettling and left a lasting negative impression on viewers. It’s hard not to feel intense dislike for a character who would commit such an atrocity.
05. Sakura Haruno (Naruto)
- Anime: Naruto
- Role: A member of Team 7 alongside Naruto and Sasuke.
- Why the Hate: Sakura often bears unflattering nicknames like “Useless” and “Trash” within the Naruto fandom. Despite significant screen time throughout the series, many viewers feel her character development and overall contribution to the plot fall short, often overshadowed by her persistent infatuation with Sasuke. While she ultimately marries Sasuke, many argue that other characters with less screen time were more impactful and useful. Her ability to summon Lady Katsuyu in certain arcs is often cited as one of her few genuinely useful contributions.
04. Mahito (Jujutsu Kaisen)
- Anime: Jujutsu Kaisen
- Role: A powerful cursed spirit born from the collective fear and hatred of humanity towards each other.
- Why the Hate: While some might appreciate Mahito as a well-written villain, he frequently tops polls for the most hated anime characters. The primary reason for this widespread dislike is his cruel manipulation and exploitation of innocent people who have no involvement in the world of sorcerers. Unlike other villains in Jujutsu Kaisen, Mahito’s strength lies in his ability to exploit the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of ordinary individuals, making his actions particularly reprehensible to many fans.
03. Flare Arlgrande Jioral (Redo of Healer)
- Anime: Redo of Healer
- Role: The first princess of the Jioral Kingdom and a powerful healer.
- Why the Hate: Flare shares a similar level of malice and evilness with Malty S Melromarc. Her cruel and inhumane treatment of Keyaru before the events of the story is the primary reason for the intense hatred she receives from viewers. Even after facing similar treatment herself, it doesn’t negate the fact that her initial actions were driven by pure enjoyment and a desire to inflict suffering.
02. Saint Charlos (One Piece)
- Anime: One Piece
- Role: A World Noble (Tenryuubito).
- Why the Hate: Almost every One Piece fan would agree that Saint Charlos embodies everything wrong with the World Nobles. His extreme arrogance, blatant cruelty, and complete lack of empathy make him a character universally deserving of hate. The moments where Luffy punches him and Zoro nearly slices him in half are often celebrated by the fanbase. Every appearance of Saint Charlos often leaves viewers wishing for his comeuppance.
01. Rachel (Tower of God)
- Anime: Tower of God
- Role: Baam’s childhood friend.
- Why the Hate: In the Tower of God anime community, Rachel’s name has become synonymous with betrayal. After watching the series, many viewers struggle to understand why Twenty-Fifth Baam is so devoted to her. She is often referred to as the “Queen of Betrayal” due to her shocking actions and the sense of deep betrayal felt by Baam and the audience.
