If you’re an anime fan, there’s no doubt you’re familiar with My Hero Academia. If you happen to be one of those anime fans that have been training in the mountains for the past ten years, here’s a quick rundown: My Hero Academia is a superhero manga series written and drawn by Kohei Horikoshi. The plot revolves around Izuku Midoriya, a young man born without abilities in a world where they are widespread. All Might, Japan’s most powerful hero, scouts him and picks him as his successor. Since July 2014, the My Hero Academia manga series has been published in Japan, with chapters compiled into 33 tankobon volumes as of February 2022. The story has also spawned a slew of spin-off manga and an anime series by Bones. The shonen anime garnered a resoundingly enthusiastic reception from both critics and audiences and is widely regarded as one of the greatest of the decade. The show has quickly become a fan favorite, and for good reason – the characters are engaging and well-developed. But with so many characters to choose from, who are the best? Here is our list of the 40 best My Hero Academia characters. Let us know what you think in the comments! Mashirao Ojiro![]() Mashirao is a muscular young man with short blond hair brushed to the front of his face. He has thin eyes without any lower eyelashes. Unlike the other kids in his class, he wears pale grey sneakers with his school uniform rather than the brown dress shoes that everyone else wears, and he lets the bottom button of his blazer carelessly undone. Due to his Quirk, he has a tail, which is entirely hairless save for the tip. Mashirao has a calm and noble demeanor and a strong sense of dignity, which stops him from accepting outcomes that he does not believe he achieved by his own efforts. He is also known as a hard worker. Mashirao is timid and modest, not typically loving the spotlight, easily humiliated, and having a strong sense of dignity. He is humble yet dependable and dedicated when it comes to hero work. A common joke is that people perceive him as “plain,” which irritates him and indicates that he is sensitive and self-conscious about his personality and talents. Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu![]() Tetsutetsu is a young guy with chin-length, untidy grey hair that never appears to change form and black eyes that are severely slanted inwards, each lined with a very thick, jagged, tan-colored material that is apparently his eyelashes. He doesn’t appear to have any noticeable brows, and he has rows of sharp, pointed teeth like Eijiro Kirishima. Tetsutetsu’s personality is defined by his fiery temper and outspokenness. He is self-assured, obstinate, and direct in his intentions and actions. He has a one-track mentality and is quite vocal about his ambitions. He typically looks for the simplest answer to issues in order to address them in the most straightforward way. Tetsutetsu’s straightforward attitude shines through in battle, as seen by his aggressive and forthright fighting style. Overhaul / Kai Chisaki![]() Kai has pale skin, a slim physique, and short auburn hair parted to the right. His eyes are thin, gold, with long lower lashes and little brows. He also has a minor scar on his left side of his forehead from his fight with the League of Villains. His left ear has three piercings. His mouth is normally covered by a plague doctor’s mask, but after his struggle with Izuku, his mask is removed, revealing his mouth. During his transportation to a villain hospital, he lost his arms to Mr. Compress and Tomura Shigaraki. Kai is a mysophobic, antisocial psychopath concerned with reverting the world to pre-Quirk. Kai believes Quirks are a scourge on mankind, infecting individuals with “syndromes” of heroism and villainy based on an outdated idea and his own mysophobia. He despises anyone who exploits their gifts for either reason, calling them “sicknesses.” Kai is hell-bent on eradicating Quirks, not just for his own personal reasons but also to allow the Yakuza to restore their former social dominance. Kai has no moral compass and a big ego, believing he is the only person in the world who understands Quirks and so deserves to govern the underworld after All For One’s demise. Neito Monoma![]() Neito is a small young man with sleek blond hair split to the right and has bangs that droop over his right eye. His irises are periwinkle blue, his pupils white, and his eyes are fashioned to slant downwards towards the far ends of his face, generally half-closed, giving him a scornful expression. In the light novels, the females say that Neito is gorgeous. Neito’s demeanor varies depending on who he is addressing: he is mocking, loud and caustic with Class 1-A, provocative in a fight, and calm, kind, and exceptionally brilliant outside of these circumstances. While his persona emphasizes his competitiveness versus Class 1-A, he also shows his gentle side when he devised a strategy to allow his class to pass the first two rounds of the U.A. Sports Festival and gives them the option to accept or reject it. He also consoled Setsuna Tokage after his defeat against Katsuki Bakugo and Eri twice, despite her initial fear of him. Katsuki Bakugo![]() Katsuki is a lean, strong young man with a pale complexion. His sandy blonde hair is short and spiky, with jagged bangs. His eyes are piercing and crimson. Katsuki has two scars on his body during the Paranormal Liberation War Arc: one on his left shoulder and his lower stomach. He wears the traditional U.A. outfit sans the crimson tie. An undone white collared shirt is worn under his jacket. His pants are too loose and droop at the ankles despite using a belt. Katsuki is a vulgar, arrogant, short-tempered, and aggressive character. Katsuki comes out as unheroic. He was known to torment a young, Quirkless Izuku Midoriya as a youngster. A braggart who boasted about his Explosion Quirk’s power, even claiming to be able to take on his whole middle school class. He openly disliked Izuku, mainly due to his lack of a Quirk, and referred to him as “Deku,” a derogatory term (meaning useless and unable to achieve anything). He even threatened Izuku not to apply to U.A. High School and grew enraged when both of them passed the entrance exam. Minoru Mineta![]() Minoru is a small teenage lad with a big round head and plump cheeks. His oval-shaped eyes with huge dark pupils and thin eyebrows define his nose. In the shape of a mohawk, his hair is cut very short and dark purple. His hero outfit consists of a shirt and mask in purple with a yellow cape, boots, and gloves. His slacks are white with a light purple accent and are rather baggy around his waist. It’s part of his grape theme outfit. He applied it before to the Joint Training Battle. Because he is shy and perverse to the point of notoriety, Minoru is disliked by the girls and even some lads. Lewd ideas fill his head, even though unconnected. Minoru is eager to peep at the females at whatever cost. Popularity and Minoru’s fascination with ladies is both driving forces for him to become a hero. In fact, he proudly admits to having them. Tamaki Amajiki![]() Tamaki is a tall, pale young man. His ears are long, pointed, and elf-like. His unruly blue hair stretches out behind his head, covering his pale, sleepy eyes, which are intended to be divided to not hamper his eyesight. His shoulders are slumped, and he avoids eye contact. Tamaki’s school clothing is sloppy. His tie is loose, and his shirt isn’t tucked in properly, giving the impression that he doesn’t care about his look. Tsukasa Tamaki is a quiet, distant, unhappy, “intimidating,” and introverted actress who becomes apprehensive while chatting to strangers. Tamaki will often turn away from others and lean against a wall to hide his nervousness. This happens anytime Tamaki gets upset or offended. While Tamaki’s athletic ability and Quirk are exceptional, he is socially uncomfortable and lacks self-confidence. The pressure to be flawless has harmed his self-esteem. Tamaki is eager to point out others’ optimism but slow to acknowledge his own. His pessimism opposes Fat Gum’s positivity. Tamaki typically takes Fat Gum’s compliments for teasing. Tomura Shigaraki![]() Tomura has a pale complexion, yellow teeth, and deep wrinkles around his eyes. His lips are dry and uneven, and he has a mole beneath his right lip and noticeable scars under his right eye. His unkempt grayish-blue hair is left in irregular waves draping over his face. His eyes and lips are generally hidden, but they are wide and insane, with blazing red irises when seen. Omura has a twisted personality, like Izuku Midoriya. He has no regard for his or anybody else’s life and has no qualms about murdering innocent people. A “man-child,” arrogant, greedy, dependent, and demanding, upset if things don’t go his way, and comparing reality to a computer game. Instead of using finesse to solve difficulties, Tomura uses force. Instead of striking out and assaulting others or himself, Tomura ripped at his own neck when he became irritated. According to All For One, the torture he received from his father and his early loneliness triggered his latent desire to murder and destroy. After several unsuccessful attempts and All For One’s imprisonment, Tomura would learn to be more patient and self-controlled. Denki Kaminari![]() Denki has golden short hair split to the right, with a black lightning-shaped streak on his side fringe, partially covering his left eye. His golden eyes are slanted and trapezoidal, with little brows. He’s smaller than most of his class’s male pupils, with little obvious muscular mass. Denki has a scar on his upper left forehead from Mr. Compress’ attack during the Paranormal Liberation War, although his hair conceals it nicely. During school hours, he wears the U.A. uniform with the second button undone. His shoes are dark brown. It consists of a basic white shirt, an open black jacket with a white lightning design across the back, and matching slacks with two lines down the legs. He wears a single square-shaped earphone with a radio antenna on top over his right ear. Denki is a pleasant, outgoing, and enthusiastic boy who enjoys socializing. He’s not beyond petty grumbling or overreacting if upset or surprised enough. Denki might be outspoken and irresponsible, but he is always well-meaning. Denki is sometimes seen joining Minoru Mineta in his schemes, trying to pass himself off as a slick talker. His overtures are regularly disregarded or downright rejected by those he asks out. Denki is also a jokester who likes to taunt others. Denki seems to want to be stylish and contemporary to impress others, but he lacks the knowledge to do it correctly. So he’s readily swayed by current trends, even if they involve villains. Hanta Sero![]() Hanta is a tall, thin young guy with chin-length black hair that is spiked downwards and has jagged bangs that come approximately halfway down his brow. He has almond-shaped eyes that are normally extended pretty wide and rather huge, with small pupils and straight teeth that dominate his grin, but he has a rather plain face, according to Katsuki Bakugo and Present Mic. His elbows resemble cylindrical tape dispensers from which he launches his Tape Quirk. Hanta is a highly nice individual who has shown to be one of Class 1-A’s more social members. He might be a little loud and flamboyant at times, seeking to impress his peers with his Quirk. He is frequently the sole person who calls out his peers when they are misbehaving. He is pretty amusing and frequently joins in on jokes with his peers. When it comes down to it, Hanta is a bold hero-in-training who aspires to flourish on his own while assisting others in accomplishing the same. He makes friends with people around him and is depicted as a pretty laid-back individual. Eri![]() Eri is a small girl with wild blue-off-white hair parted in the center of her forehead and almost to her waist. Her eyes are wide, innocent, and red. A little brown horn protrudes from her brow, which becomes larger when her Quirk is activated. Her first outfit is a plain, short-sleeved dress in a dirty pale tan. Her arms and legs are bandaged, displaying innumerable wounds around her wrists and ankles. Eri’s new outfit is a white dress shirt with a frilled collar and a plain red pinafore with two enormous golden buttons on either side of her breast. She is wearing grey tights and wide brown boots with a dark red messenger bag with a floral motif on one of its edges. Her hair is also straighter and neater than it was when she was with Shie Hassaikai. Eri became a frightened and lonely girl when her mother left her after she accidentally made her father disappear using her Quirk and the experiments she was given by Kai Chisaki. With Izuku Midoriya’s touch, Eri felt kindness for the first time, which overwhelmed her and made her cry. When murderous intent is directed towards her, she does not scream or weep but just remains silent, knowing she has no choice. Eri’s attempts to fight and escape her captors progressively diminished, but she still tried to run, knowing she had no one to turn to. Eri, on the other hand, is willing to die alongside Kai to save those who love her. This is the result of Kai convincing Eri that her existence and Quirk are solely designed to harm others. Eri is filled with dread and guilt, and she does not want others to die as a result of her actions. All For One![]() All For One’s face is totally comprised of scar tissue, spreading from beyond his top lip to encompass his entire head and the back of his neck. He lacks a nose, ears, hair, and eyes, but the shapes of his eye sockets are discernible. His Infrared Quirk allows him to detect the direction of vibrations in his immediate environment, comparable to echolocation. He steals and transmits Quirks through microscopic holes in his palms. All For One used to have intimidating features, short white hair, and bright red eyes. His face is rarely exposed, and his eyes are typically hidden. Er suits up in black over a white shirt. All For One is a sly, nasty, and evil individual who enjoys robbing others. In a dream, Yoichi reveals his characteristics to Izuku Midoriya. His powers have already helped individuals, but in exchange for their slavery. When they could no longer obey his commands, All For One would desert them, and any who disobeyed him were cleansed by his followers. It is clear that All For One has strong egomania and even a God complex, comparing himself to the Demon Lord he reads about in comic novels and regarding himself as a supreme entity. He also has kleptomania, stating he can’t resist stealing a strong Quirk when the chance arises. Rikido Sato![]() Rikido is a tall, muscly young man. His short brown hair is spiked high from his head. His eyes are tiny, square-shaped, with little black pupils and bushy brows above. He has huge, thick lips that are somewhat darker than his complexion and a large, round nose. His hero outfit is a yellow full-body suit that covers him except for the openings around his mouth, eyes, and hair. He wears white gloves and boots, and a utility belt with sugar bags around his waist. Rikido enjoys sweets and baking, which he needs for his Quirk. He can make sweets so well that he can eat his peers. This unusually favorable answer caught Rikido off guard, implying that he underestimates his own ability as a confectioner. Every week at the dormitories, Rikido bakes sweets and shares them with his friends. He makes a gourmet night using Momo Yaoyorozu’s tea. As shown during the Christmas dinner, he can make different foods. Toru Hagakure![]() Toru is a short girl with a transparent figure. Only carried or worn goods, including clothing and accessories, identify her. When dressed, her figure seems slim yet curvy. Yuga Aoyama has short wavy hair, huge round eyes, and bushy eyelashes. Her hero outfit consists of a pair of light blue gloves with faint pink lines and light brownish-gray lace-up shoes. Her winter outfit comprises basic knee-high boots and thicker gloves with a distinct color pattern. It’s simple to like Toru since she’s effervescent, happy, and easygoing. She is outgoing and enjoys shopping. Her room is full of lovely plushies and other items. As a result, she feels that stripping off her clothing during a fight gives her a tactical edge. While she appears blissfully naive about what it means to be invisible, she expresses some apprehension about being seen undressed, even when wearing her hero outfit, which involves nearly no clothes. Toru’s unseen body appears to be employed mostly for comic relief. Endeavor![]() Enji is a tall, strong man. A bright turquoise eye and short scarlet hair with spikes. A tiny stubble appears around his jaw as he extinguishes his beard and mustache. His hero costume is a tight navy turquoise bodysuit with flames running down his chest, upper torso, arms, and shoulders. His flames act as a makeshift eye mask, and the towering boots he wears look to be either made of fire or always lit. He has white cage-style bracers on his lower arms and a blue belt with two pouches on either side. On the other hand, Shoto describes his father as arrogant and driven by a desire to surpass the No. This intense desire to outperform All Might in strength and power has followed Enji since he was a child. The figure of All Might proved to be too much of an impenetrable challenge for him or anyone else to overcome, leaving Enji in a deepening state of despair as he grew increasingly conscious that narrowing the distance between him and the Symbol of Peace was fruitless. As a result, Enji became a cold, cruel guy who only cared about his unrealistic desire, as a young Inasa Yoarashi could see in his eyes. Tsuyu Asui![]() Tsuyu is a small girl with a slim frame and huge hands. Her features are frog-like, with a broad mouth that dips down in the center and oval-shaped eyes with huge, black irises and prominent lower eyelashes. She also hops on all fours instead of running and holds herself in a frog-like mannerism. Her hair is a dark sea-green hue and is incredibly long, reaching to her waist and tied in a huge bow at the bottom. Her hair is shoulder-length with shorter bangs between her eyes, some brushed to each side. Tsuyu is a direct and aloof person who constantly speaks her thoughts and what she thinks of others. Tsuyu wishes to be called “Tsu” by friends alone. Except for teachers and other authority officials, she calls everyone “-chan” Her parents were constantly working, so she was forced to take care of her two younger siblings at an early age. Tsuyu developed into a mature and responsible person who could balance school and home activities without interfering with one another. This also implies that Tsuyu can lead and care for others, keeping them safe and at peace if they aren’t. She has strong beliefs, ambitions, and convictions and will stand up to her friends to protect them from foolish actions. Tsuyu was the most vocally opposed to Class 1-A’s decision to rescue Katsuki Bakugo following the Vanguard Action Squad Invasion, claiming that acting on their emotions and breaching the law to save him constituted them monsters. Mirio Togata![]() Mirio is a tall young man with a strong frame and visible scars on his lower arms. Mirio’s design stands out owing to his blue oval-shaped eyes, basic appearance, and rounder nose than most others. His golden hair is styled in a cowlick at the top and brushed back at the bottom. Mirio wears his school uniform like other male pupils, sans blazer. In the shape of a ravenous mouth, his belt buckle is brilliant. Mirio used to have long hair that he kept in a ponytail. He trimmed it so the support department could make him a hero outfit to go with his Quirk. Mirio is a highly humorous, enthusiastic person with odd tendencies. Many people wonder how Mirio is one of U.A.’s best students based on his characteristics. Mirio is constantly cheerful and smiling. Sir Nighteye saw in him the potential to replace All Might as the peace emblem. Mirio has an unusual sense of humor. His quips vary from cheesy to puerile, making him a fool for others’ amusement. He used his clothed butt like a puppet to introduce Class 1-A to Eri. Mirio’s laid-back demeanor does not cloud his judgement or deter him from becoming a hero. He’s turned an unmasterable ability into one of the world’s most potent Quirks. Mirio is always seeking methods to better his talents and get new knowledge. Mezo Shoji![]() His pale grey hair is brushed forward, covering much of his face, and bowed downward almost at a right angle over one eye. While his Quirk is not in use, only the front two arms have hands, leaving the rest as thin stumps. His face is somewhat extended, with his eyes placed further to the sides and a blue mask covering him from just below his eyes to the base of his neck. He never leaves home without it, and he wears it with every outfit. After his arm was wounded in the Forest Training Camp Arc, he was seen speaking with his actual lips. He doesn’t need his Quirk to hear because he has no ears. Unbelievably pleasant and gentle, Mezo will work well with anyone. He does not keep grudges against those that damage him unwittingly. The unselfish Mezo will sacrifice his life for anybody. He is compassionate and understanding, mature and responsible, not acting on emotional impulses, even if he regrets it. He clearly protects his peers, especially if they are harmed. According to the Ultra Archive book, he is willing to die for his buddies. Present Mic![]() The tall, thin Hizashi has long blond hair spiked high and a little brown mustache. Irises are greenish-yellow in color (red in the manga), and he is usually always depicted with a wide smile on his face, never with nostrils. His hero outfit includes a black jacket with a high collar, studs, matching black leggings, and knee-high boots. In tan shoulder pads, red elbow pads, and black fingerless gloves. A directional speaker he employs with his Quirk constantly covers his neck. He always wears headphones with the word “HAGE” on the headband and orange sunglasses. Hizashi retains a radio presenter character. In whatever scenario, he maintains a certain degree of enthusiasm or loudness. His demeanor led Kyoka Jiro to confuse him as an announcer rather than a Pro Hero. When performing in front of a large crowd, he typically seeks to engage his audience (he refers to them as his “listeners” on stage). He will act like this regardless of the crowd’s reaction. He also has strong people skills, as he restrained Shota Aizawa from a mob of reporters, avoiding extensive unfavorable publicity. He hates bugs so much that he faints when too many are around. He admits to preferring cities over forests. Kurogiri![]() Kurogiri’s body is a dark purple mist, save for his golden eyes. He usually wears a stylish suit with a tie and a metal brace around his collarbone and right behind his eyes. In his villain suit, he is shrouded in a black fog, just his metal neck brace visible. Kurogiri’s calm demeanor often balances Tomura’s immaturity and rage. Born to protect Tomura, he is fiercely dedicated to All For One. Kurogiri, a Nomu, is trained to only accept directives from a select few and to keep silent when questioned about the League. Kurogiri is always courteous and well-spoken, even to his opponents. But, like his fellow League villains, he has a really nasty disposition, willing to put heroic kids in circumstances where they would be tortured or killed. The League of Villains’ original hideaway at Kamino, Yokohama, was frequented by him. Eijiro Kirishima![]() Eijiro is a robust young man of medium height with a youthful body. His eyes are crimson and somewhat inward, and he has a little scar above his right eye that Horikoshi says he sometimes forgets to draw. He has tiny brows and a sharp smile. In addition to the tufts on either side of his forehead, his hair is colored a blazing red and spiked away from his head at all angles using gel. This regal look takes three minutes to set. His hair was black and left natural in middle school, slightly below the shoulder length with some shorter bangs between his eyes. Soon after getting admitted into U.A. High, he changed it. Instead of the typical brown dress shoes, he wears dark red sneakers to school. Eijiro is a noisy and extroverted guy who likes to use the adjectives “manly” and “unmanly” to describe things and people he likes. Noble, brave, and/or determined people often bring him to tears, winning his total regard, respect, and friendship. Likewise, he will point out the polar opposites, such as cowardice and dirty play. Eijiro is a bold man who puts others’ safety above his own. He also admires Crimson Riot, a vintage hero from whom he draws personal ideals and his own hero moniker. Eijiro is a clear thinker who lives by a code of chivalry that drives him to live without remorse. He can easily make friends with most individuals he meets because of his courteous and encouraging demeanor, especially those who share his enthusiasm and commitment. Eijiro is prepared to disobey laws and rules to help or save his friends and regrets not being able to help them. Eijiro takes responsibility for his actions and those of his friends. To avoid feeling weak or burdensome, he constantly thinks of ways to develop his talents and capabilities. Mina Ashido![]() Mina is a medium-sized girl with “healthy thighs” who appears to be set a little wider than her female classmates. Her complexion is a pale pink color. She has square-shaped eyes with black sclera and yellow irises and long eyelashes below and surrounding her eyes. “she’s got a super athletic body.” Minoru Mineta said. Her short fluffy pink hair is somewhat darker than her complexion, framing her face. She also has two slender pale yellow horns sprouting from her head, hooked firmly and leaning diagonally to opposing sides. She wears the standard female U.A. uniform to school. Mina is a happy, easygoing girl who always has a grin on her face. She is an extremely sociable person who gets angry if she is not allowed to attend a party. She is stylish and enjoys shopping. Mina likes and excels in dancing due to her agility and vigor. In contrast to her typical bubbly personality, she becomes stern and precise when teaching others to dance. She is notorious for using her dance to calm folks in troubled relationships. Hawks / Keigo Takami![]() Keigo is an average-sized guy with a thin physique. His back muscles are too narrow, he says. He has strong eyelashes, fluffy ash-blond hair combed messy backward and a slight stubble on his chin. His eyes are golden-brown and trapezoidal, with two little black triangles right below his tear ducts, resembling a bird’s. His eye markings are natural, as he got them as a youngster. His Quirk offers him huge bright red wings with feathers that grow longer as they descend. Keigo is demonstrated to be emotionally and logistically clever. His easygoing and cheery demeanor belies his continual alertness. Keigo is a laid-back guy who may be nasty at times. Keigo obeys the HPSC’s directives without hesitation, albeit with skepticism. Keigo despises formality and is often unpredictable, brash, and insulting. He is unconcerned about his social standing and behaves casually deferential. Keigo is a sarcastic character that accepts calmly when Katsuki Bakugo says he was faster and replies with ironic adaption when someone says he was lesser. Fumikage Tokoyami![]() Fumikage is a small young guy with a black bird’s head, probably a crow or a raven. His beak is brown with a yellowish tip, and he wears a scarlet choker that he rarely removes. Despite his head’s appearance, his body is that of a regular person with a fair complexion. Fumikage has gained muscle since his stint with Hawks. After the Paranormal Liberation War, Dabi’s flames left a mark on his left foot. In addition to his robe, which covers his entire body but only stops halfway down his shins, he wears knee-high black boots. During the Joint Training Arc, he was wearing a black t-shirt, wristbands, loose pants, a utility belt with a double pin clasp, and a utility belt with a utility knife. Fumikage is restrained, concentrated, honorable, and heroic. While he is talking to other people, he will blatantly dismiss queries or requests that appear irrelevant (like Tenya Ida requesting him not to sit on the desk). When Fumikage partners up with others, he becomes more social, aiding, comforting, and appreciating his colleagues for their efforts. Fumikage is a tough and trustworthy combatant whose strength and ability are rarely questioned. Fumikage is a “creature of the dark” who uses archaic-sounding statements that make him seem spooky or dramatic. Nonetheless, Fumikage is anxious about his hobbies since they are more mystical and exotic, making them difficult to grasp or relate to. Despite his dark associations, Fumikage is not a villain. In reality, if his friends or mentors are hurt, Fumikage may become outraged or offended, which might have devastating effects owing to his Quirk being sensitive to emotions. All-Might / Toshinori Yagi![]() Toshinori is a huge man with a muscular and defined body, like a typical Western comic book superhero. His face is sculpted with a strong jawline, high cheekbones, and bushy brows. On either side of his head, two tufts of short blond hair tilt slightly to one side. It’s hard to see anything beyond his sparkling blue eyes because of his prominent features. Toshinori’s failing health reduced him to an extremely slender guy with sharp, angular features and lengthy limbs, his neck long and his eyebrows nonexistent. He has a huge scar on the left side of his chest and often spits blood when pleased or shocked. After Toshinori’s time as a hero, he starts wearing clothes that suit him in his real shape since he no longer requires enormous garments that match his muscular form. All Might’s hero persona is based on comic book superhero stereotypes: enthusiastic and theatrical. Onlookers are usually protected by his enormous smile. His instructor, Nana Shimura, taught him to smile because she thought that those who smile are the strongest. Despite his bothersome tendencies, All Might is a very pleasant and affable person, constantly taking the time to communicate with followers. In contrast to his hero character, All Might becomes quiet and gloomy as he reverts to his actual nature. He’s an optimist who keeps his aims realistic. When a Quirkless Izuku tells All Might about his desire of being a hero, All Might encourages him to be realistic and that he choose another career that benefits others. He needed to be stern to spare the youngster from long-term frustration. If he is astonished or amused enough, he may vomit blood as a sign of his weak condition. Optimism and oafishness seem to be constants in his demeanor, independent of All Might’s current form. Check Out: 20 Surprising Facts About All Might Momo Yaoyorozu![]() Momo is a tall, mature teen girl. Her Quirk’s demand for fat cells keeps her fuller than her peers. A huge strand of her long black hair hangs on the right side of her face. Her eyes are keen and black, with short brows and a determined attitude. A gray blazer with blue-green stripes, white shirt, red tie, blue-green pleated skirt, black knee socks, and brown shoes are her school uniform. Momo is a wise, passionate leader who leads by example. She is normally calm and level-headed in risky circumstances, yet she can panic. Momo is gentle, courteous, and reserved, yet she can be straightforward about people’s faults and miscalculations, wanting to help her peers develop and become great heroes, like when she coached her classmates at home. Momo grows as a selfless hero inspired by others. Momo is not concerned about losing most of her clothing in a fight since she knows how to make another outfit and would have created her costume even more, exposing if there were no limitations on exposed flesh in costumes. Others often mistake her for a showgirl. Despite her innocence, she is often annoyed by Minoru Mineta and Katsuki Bakugo’s coarse attitude. Her lack of modesty in her attire reflects her relaxed, natural, and non-lewd attitude toward nudity. Koji Koda![]() Koji is a tall, muscly young man with peach skin. His skull is fashioned like a rock, with a square jaw and an uneven top. His hero costume is a short yellow suit with a prominent red marking on his torso and arms. He has a sign of an open mouth on his breast and wears yellow shoes with red lining. Koji has put two white straps on his shoulders and a full-face mask with holes above his lips to prepare for the Provisional Hero License Exam. His shoes were replaced by boots. Despite his intimidating look, Koji is a shy and quiet man. So Kyoka Jiro believed he was silent and was pleasantly delighted when Koji spoke. He is skilled at maintaining secrets, says Fumikage Tokoyami. Due to his kind disposition, he despises violence. He seems to appreciate animals, even keeping a pet bunny. Koji can engage with them in ways others cannot. His room also has animal dolls and decorations, indicating he appreciates charming things. Koji has entomophobia, a fear of bugs that causes him to scream and flee. During the Joint Training arc, Koji and Eijiro used bugs to knock down Jurota Shishida, proving that Koji can overcome his fear and aid his colleagues. Hitoshi Shinso![]() Hitoshi is a young man with unkempt indigo-colored hair and straight teeth. His eyes are purple with white pupils, narrow, trapezoidal, pointing downward, and without eyelashes. His eyes are generally half-closed, with black bags under them. The pupils of Class 1-A noticed Hitoshi had bulked up since they last saw him at the U.A. Sports Festival. Despite his restrained and quiet demeanor, Hitoshi is a stoic and direct guy with an instinctive ability to begin a discussion with everyone. He is revealed to be quite intelligent, knowing precisely the perfect phrases to say to get others to respond, allowing him to use his Quirk. He doesn’t mind doing something shady to win a battle. Hitoshi has always been feared by people who know his abilities and has been discriminated against only because of his Brainwashing Quirk. With Izuku Midoriya as an example, he claims that someone “as blessed as him” would never grasp what it’s like to have a talent like his own. Despite his flaws, Hitoshi longs to become a Pro Hero and prove it to those who question his noble intentions. He desires to usurp kids who take the route to become a Pro Hero, as he always dreamed. Gran Torino![]() Gran Torino is a skinny, old man with thick wrinkles. He has fair skin and brown eyes. It’s short with some forward-hanging bangs and a trimmed beard. In addition to his monotone suit, he wears a yellow cloak, thick yellow gloves and boots, and a black domino mask like two diamonds. He used to be tall and gorgeous, with a well-built body, and he might have challenged All Might’s hero form in height. Gran Torino’s look has remained consistent throughout his existence, down to his short grey hair and present attire. Initially, Gran Torino looked like a senile old man who frequently forgot and mispronounced Izuku Midoriya’s name. Even though he had offered Izuku an internship, he frequently forgot her name. In truth, it’s only a ruse to annoy his new protégé. Gran Torino is an extremely smart man with a very broad viewpoint. In a week, he taught Izuku more than All Might did in over a year. He taught Izuku the first step to achieving One For All by using a simple analogy between Izuku and his favorite dessert (teriyaki). He also correctly predicted All For One’s plan based only on media coverage of Hero Killer: Stain’s aftermath. Stain / Chizome Akaguro![]() Chizome is a hunched, scary guy with a flat, triangular face, no nose (which he removed himself), and an abnormally lengthy tongue covered in little papillae. His hair is long and unkempt, draping over his face if not for his headband and mask, and he has little white eyes (red in the anime). He wears a black battle outfit with metal armor to strap his weapons. The torso has no sleeves, so he wraps his arms in yellow bandages from his shoulders to his wrists. His suit includes lengthy black wristbands, a watch on his left arm, metal knee pads, and black boots with steel armor. Wears his distinctive blood-red scarf and matching headband, with a ripped fabric as a mask. Stain is a ruthless individual who feels obligated to purge society of false heroes. The word Hero is unworthy of those who become heroes for fame or money, and only All Might is a genuine hero. Due to his passionate beliefs, he became the Hero Killer: staining his hands with blood to expel bogus heroes and alter society. Stain does not intend to kill non-targets. He despises unnecessary bloodshed, which is why he fought Tomura Shigaraki. He hesitates to strike Tenya Ida before she provokes him. Tenya seeks him out for revenge for his brother’s death, and he tells him what a genuine hero is like. Stain saves Izuku Midoriya because he embodies the qualities of a genuine hero; strength, competence, and a feeling of duty. He strongly believes in creeds and beliefs, believing that individuals are weak and would eventually perish without them. Izuku Midoriya![]() Izuku has a big face framed by a tangle of fluffy dark-green hair that sticks up at unusual angles around his head, casting black shadows. Large, round eyes with emerald irises that are sometimes watery and extended wide give him an innocent, enthusiastic look. On each cheek, he has four symmetrical diamond-shaped freckles. Izuku obtained toned muscles after 10 months of intensive training with All Might, and these steadily get more developed and defined as he grows stronger. Izuku is a shy, cautious, and courteous youngster who regularly overreacts to unusual events. He is first described as nervous, emotional, fragile, and non-expressive by Katsuki due to his lack of a Quirk. This is especially true of Katsuki, who continually chastised him for wanting to be a hero. Eventually, Izuku develops great leadership qualities, which, paired with his enthusiasm and strategic ability, have made him into a major figure within Class 1-A alongside Katsuki. Check Out:15 Surprising Facts About Izuku Midoriya Itsuka Kendo![]() Itsuka is a thin girl of average height. Her long orange hair is usually put into a high ponytail on the left side of her head. Her bangs are broken into three clusters around her eyes, and big tufts of hair crown her head. Itsuka’s hero outfit is a turquoise knee-length qipao with a black double-breasted corset over it. She wears black shorts under her qipao. She accessorizes with her white-heeled navy blue boots and broad white slip-in vamps with a loose brown utility belt with a bag connected at the rear. Her winter hero outfit includes a qipao with long wrist-length sleeves. Itsuka is a lively girl who is kind. She will karate chop Neito Monoma on the back of his neck to prevent him from antagonizing Class 1-A and the rest of Class 1-B. She will also turn down opportunities if she believes others deserve it more. She allowed Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu and Ibara Shiozaki to represent her squad at the U.A. Sports Festival tournament. The “big sister” of Class 1-B is said to be Itsuka, who’s joyful nature may bring Class 1-B together. Dabi![]() Dabi is a tall, pale young guy in his early twenties with a slender, lanky physique. His white hair spikes high around his head, falling low over his tiny, turquoise-colored, severely lidded eyes. His hair was dyed black before he revealed his identity. The gnarled, wrinkled, purple skin patches that cover most of his lower face and neck, beyond his collarbone, below his eyes, around his torso, and on his arms and legs are due to his losing control of his fire Quirk and enveloping him in flames at a young age. Surgical staples or hoop piercings seem to connect them to the rest of his skin. Toya was a rambunctious youngster who wanted to learn everything from his father. To achieve his father’s objective of surpassing All Might, Toya grew obsessed with the idea of becoming the next number one, much like his father. Despite Enji’s repeated advice to forgo this aim and focus on something else in life, he resisted and continued training, burning himself in the process. Toya characterized his objective as a burning desire that he couldn’t put out, despite his mother Rei’s interpretation that he just wanted his father’s approval and assurance that he wasn’t a failure. Yuga Aoyama![]() Yuga is a skinny young man with a feminine face. A side fringe that bends upwards a little before curving down completes his beautiful golden hair. He has long eyelashes and brilliant azure eyes, resembling a young royal. An icy blue bodysuit conceals a set of metallic lavender and golden armor, a chest plate, two round shoulder pads, elbow-length vambraces, and knee-high boots. In addition to the golden Greek fret-like trim on his breastplate, his belt and vambraces also have golden Greek fret-like trim. It also has a long, sparkly indigo cloak, a belt with a golden ring-shaped buckle with a blue crystal, and smaller crystals over his shoulder pads and knees. He wears a red-tinted wing-shaped visor over his eyes and has straight golden lines down his baggy slacks. Yuga seems conceited and proud, thinking he is superior to his classmates, especially concerning his Quirk. He has ostentatious gestures, enjoys posturing, and draws attention to himself despite being disregarded by his colleagues. Even while speaking or hurt, he keeps a closed smile on his face, and he becomes agitated if stopped or questioned. Yuga’s sentences frequently conclude with a star sign. He also likes to highlight his French origin by using French terms in his statements. This attitude is shown to be a façade, as Yuga suffers from significant anxieties and remorse due to his Quirk and upbringing. Born Quirkless, he struggled with being “different” from everyone, something his parents feared. This prompted them to contact All For One, who granted him his Navel Laser Quirk and put their family into debt and Yuga into a double agent role. Himiko Toga![]() Himiko is a tiny, fair-skinned girl who is often characterized as having a lovely face. Her wide mouth and brilliant yellow eyes with small slits like those of a cat, and her top and lower canines are sharp and longer than the rest of her teeth, giving her a vampire-like look. Her hair is a dirty ash-blonde with two untidy buns, a straight fringe, and two chin-length side bangs to frame her face. Himiko is a happy female who smiles even after killing someone, demonstrating sadistic inclinations. Even while in danger, like when Tomura Shigaraki was going to assault her, she stops when bored or angry. As a result of her constant flushing, Himiko looks to have a perpetual look of lovesickness on her face. However, she has proven that she is easily humiliated, such as when she is nude while replicating the outfits of the individuals she has turned into. Check Out: The Top 20 Craziest Yandere Characters In Anime Tenya Iida![]() Tenya is a tall, muscly young man with a broad build. His short dark blue hair is neatly flattened and separated on the right side of his head, and he has square eyes that match his jaw’s sharp appearance. His brows are permanently inclined inward, narrow and lengthy, with sharply hooked tips, and he wears rectangular-lens spectacles. His calves are extremely thick and fashioned like vehicle engines, with six silver exhaust pipes projecting from each leg in three columns. Tenya may appear cold, unpleasant, and scary at first, but he is a direct, earnest, clever, smart, disciplined, and honorable man, despite his elite background. Tenya has several odd tics, such as waving his arms in bizarre chopping patterns or jerking his body wildly, although he seldom loses his customary tight look. Tenya is noted for his tendency to leap to conclusions and then excitedly talk or act on them. So, after thinking Izuku Midoriya had discovered the actual nature of the U.A. Entrance Exam, Tenya began to regard him as a worthy peer and has since held him in great regard. To look more real, Tenya immerses himself in practical exercises, portraying the role of a hero or villain in a dramatic style. Twice / Jin Bubaigawara![]() Jin had blond hair and gray-blue eyes. He had a huge scar on his forehead from a previous event. He had obvious facial hair across his mouth and chin. He wore a blue collared shirt over a white tank top, regular jeans, and boots. His villain costume consisted of a black and gray bodysuit with gray boots. His distinctive mask had a gray top with white eye sockets and a black bottom hiding his lips. Twice wore red and green bracelets with measuring tapes. Except for the gray markings forming a “T” and “W” on his chest, Twice’s costume was mostly black. Lines crossing his upper body and climbing from his abdomen create the letter “T” Another line descends to his lower torso, divides into two, and ascends to his hips, producing a “W.” Twice had a really distinct personality: energetic, vivacious, and initially extremely comical. He liked theatrical stances and odd facial expressions. Twice contradicted himself, stating one thing in one voice and then the reverse in another. For example, he attacked Dabi and then applauded him. This was part of Twice’s mental instability as a villain. His clone’s 9-day dispute left him confused if he was the original or not. Jin’s identity issue drove him insane, transforming him from an oppressive and lazy boss into a maniacal villain. Twice contradicted himself and acted very natural about it when veiled, but without it, his dual personas argued. He’d panic and threaten to “split” until he re-applied his mask and became “whole.” Ochaco Uraraka![]() Ochaco is a petite, curvy female. She has a pale complexion and rosy cheeks. Its irises are a warm reddish color, with thick top eyelashes, two longer and more noticeable ones on either side, and fewer but more distinct lower eyelashes. Her hair is shoulder-length, bobbed, and bent inward at the ends, with two lengthier clumps on either side of her face and short bangs that extend nearly a quarter of the way down her forehead. She has a little pinkish pad on the top inner segment of each of her fingers that she uses to activate and deactivate her Quirk. Her school uniform consists of a gray dress jacket with two blue-green stripes, two pockets, and gold buttons, a white dress shirt, a red tie with a little golden button, and a dark blue-green pleated skirt. Her friends’ knee-high socks are replaced by black tights and brown slip-on shoes. Others called Ochaco “the most laid back girl” in class, cheerful and a bit of an airhead at times. She is frequently unintentionally brutal. Like Izuku Midoriya, Ochaco’s emotions are often exaggerated and hilarious. She finds certain personality features and eccentricities amusing, sometimes bursting into laughter. Ochaco is a friendly, vibrant person who is objective enough to identify shortcomings and strengths. She is generally compassionate, pleasant, and willing to aid or defend anyone who is good to her or needs help. Tsuyu Asui’s temper was the first thing Ochaco noticed when he was furious. Her sensitivity and kindness are evident in her relationships with her peers. She gets along with everyone and is particularly close to Izuku, Tenya Ida, Tsuyu, and others. Nighteye / Mirai Sasaki![]() Sir Nighteye had a tall, slender, muscular face with elongated features. His lustrous dark green hair was constantly combed down and split to the left, with three yellow streaks in the front, two on his right and one on his left. His brows were yellow, complementing the rims of his triangle spectacles and his stern-looking eyes’ irises. His demeanor exuded authority and strength since he rarely smiled, was harsh, and constantly glared. But it was merely the aspect of Sir Nighteye that he displayed in public. Nighteye, despite his frightening look, liked comedy and required others to make him laugh before he noticed them. Nighteye thought that subordinates who lacked humor and enthusiasm threatened society’s future. Nighteye admired All Might and kept many of his trinkets and memorabilia. He could quickly recall prior events and specifics of All Might’s valor, matching Izuku Midoriya’s understanding of All Might. All Might also tried to mold Nighteye’s idea of a hero: someone who inspires fear in adversaries and hope in citizens via good humor. At the same time, Nighteye feared for All Might’s safety after being severely injured in his first encounter with All For One. As the Symbol of Peace, he was about to die. He begged All Might to let him go and focus on selecting his successor. Kyoka Jiro![]() Kyoka is a slim, fair-skinned girl. Her onyx eyes are trapezoidal, with long lower lashes and tiny brows. Her hair is short, dark purple, asymmetrical, and has two reflections formed like cardiac monitor waves on either side of her head. Two tiny wires with flexible earphone jacks hang from each earlobe, acting as additional limbs that she may manipulate at will and change length if needed. Unlike the other students, Kyoka sometimes wears a waistcoat instead of the traditional U.A. blazer. Her outfit includes a black leather jacket, a long salmon-colored blouse with rips at the neck and hem, black slacks, and stereo-equipped boots. A basic black choker and white fingerless gloves complete her look. Like her classmate Denki Kaminari, Kyoka has a sarcastic, unenthusiastic, and mocking demeanor that she usually shows to those she dislikes. But Kyoka isn’t always like this; she enjoys mingling and is typically kind and friendly. Kyoka frequently uses her enormous earlobes-like hands. She may be violent, as shown when she utilizes her Quirk’s Earphone Jacks to physically punish or control individuals, most notably Denki and Minoru Mineta. But when it comes to becoming a hero, Kyoka wants to think ahead. She’s remarkably organized and communicates her views well. Check Out: 30 Of The Best Anime Waifus to Fall In Love With Eraser Head / Shota Aizawa![]() Shota is a tall, pale-skinned man with unruly shoulder-length black hair and half-opened black eyes. He is easily identified by his tired, worn-out looks. His eyes are weary and lifeless unless in conflict, and his facial hair is untidy. He always wears a utility belt and a wrap scarf with a long-sleeved shirt and matching slacks that tuck into his boots. He keeps a set of bright yellow combat goggles hidden behind his scarf. Shota is a strict, reclusive guy who expects a lot from his students. He is driven by logic and does not believe in the need to seem neat or to filter his words or ideas for others. He is chilly, indifferent, and impatient, putting forth little effort and preferring to nap in his sleeping bag. Shota, a teacher with high expectations, is known to expel pupils who do not fit into U.A. High. Shota does this so they may experience “death” once, giving them an experience that encourages them to push even more. Nejire Hado![]() Nejire is a tall, fair-skinned girl with big, inquiring eyes. Her eyes are a beautiful blue, and her top eyelashes are thick. Her periwinkle hair falls to her knees, wrapping about her waist and curving inwards over her legs. Right behind her ears on the right and just over her eyes on the left, she has side-swept bangs tucked behind her ears on both sides. Nejire is described as “cute kind” rather than “sexy kind.” by the lads at U.A. and Yuyu Haya. Nejire, like Kyoka Jiro, wears a waistcoat instead of a blazer with her school uniform. Nejire is a naturally friendly, outgoing, and curious girl who is often distracted by people’s distinctive physical traits. As a result, Nejire might be direct, asking intrusive or off-putting inquiries. Nejire is a warm-hearted “free spirit” who isn’t scared to express herself or learn new things. She likes teaching things to others and sharing her expertise, but not in a boastful way. Her youthful glee makes her act like a kindergartener. She is vivacious, amiable, and always on the move. She cares for Eri by fixing her hair and playing with her in her spare time. When she learned about Tamaki Amajiki’s attack, she was unconcerned. She is a really level-headed person, despite her curious and talkative nature. Best Jeanist![]() His neck was extraordinarily long and flexible on multiple occasions, and his black, heavily-lashed eyes appeared to lean slightly inward. His long blond hair is brushed to the left, concealing his left eye. Ankle-length pants, a denim waistcoat with enormous breast pockets, and a denim dress shirt with a very high collar conceal his face below the nose. The man is dressed in short dark brown boots with thick gray shafts and soles. Tsunagu is a colorful gentleman. He is adamant that influential individuals must preserve a favorable physical and social image. His talks regularly include references to jeans, denim, and other sewing and fabric-related analogies, asking his recruits to keep their lives straight like their jeans. Tsunagu dislikes boorish people like Katsuki Bakugo. He tried to change his attitude with Katsuki but was disappointed by his defiance. Tsunagu takes his heroic duty very seriously. He is unselfish, bold, and captivating, and he thinks that no matter how grave the circumstances, a true hero does not make excuses. He took the entire brunt of All For One’s onslaught to save his teammates, which they commended him for. Shoto Todoroki![]() Shoto is a medium-sized, muscular young guy who is well-built for his age. He has long hair that doesn’t reach his neck, and he wears bangs divided twice to keep his eyesight clear. His hair is evenly divided into two colors: white on his right side and blood red on his left, which is due to his Quirk. As a result, he has heterochromia iridium, which causes his left eye’s iris to seem turquoise while his right is a dark brownish grey. His eyes are tiny and restrained in form. He also has a big scar on the left side of his face, extending from his hairline to halfway down his cheek. He frequently has a solemn demeanor. Despite this, numerous of his classmates have stated that he is attractive, and Mina Ashido even goes so far as to suggest that he is the best-looking guy in Class 1-A. Check Out:50 Best Anime Characters with White Hair Nezu![]() Mr. Nezu is an obese man who resembles a mix of animals such as a dog, mouse, and bear.

He has white fur, huge dog-like paws with pink pads, and a slender cat-like tail. Dress shirt, dark red tie, black double-breasted waistcoat, and matching dress pants. He wears orange lace-up sneakers with thick soles that appear to be extremely enormous on him, comparable to Izuku Midoriya’s. Nezu is an eccentric, courteous, and relentless principal of a school for heroes. He is conscious of his strange look and announces himself accordingly. He may be quite verbose while explaining or teaching. Nezu created a full lecture on the balance of hero and educator, which he enthusiastically discussed over tea with All Might. His passion for education extends to judging villains, especially young ones, and asking if they could be trained to be good citizens. So there it is, anime fans.

This is apparent in scenes when it is strongly indicated that she slept with some of them before murdering them and in her later attempt to sexually abuse Reiji Takayama.

Ymir had a romantic crush on Historia and was completely committed to her. Even though they had their own secrets, the two had a strong bond and profound confidence in each other. Because of their comparable backgrounds and traumatic experiences, Historia was one of the few people Ymir actually cared about, and he would go to any length to protect her.

She can suck blood to age, as shown in Nisemonogatari; she appears as an adolescent girl, pulling her hair into a ponytail and wearing a dark camisole on the inside of a purple jacket, a black skirt, and black stockings.

Tatsumaki despises being ignored or being labeled as a “brat” or a “runt.” Despite her arrogant personality, she feels forced to defeat monsters and views her employment as a hero to be an obligation, accepting any request to defeat monsters from the Hero Association.

Beatrice tends to look down on others and has difficulty coping with individuals who want to approach her. Despite her confidence, she is a lonely person who is softhearted despite her seeming rigidity. Because of their similarities, she is fond of Puck and prefers him to the other members of the Roswaal household. She has a particular manner of speech, ending most of her sentences with “I think” or “in fact.” Check out: 10 Anime To Watch If You Can’t Get Enough Of RE:ZERO Rukia Kuchiki 4’8″ ( Bleach)![]() Rukia is short and petite, with a light complexion and purple eyes. Her hair is black, and many strands are always caught between her eyes. Rukia wears a normal shihakush as a Shinigami of the Gotei 13. Rukia’s hair is cut into a bob that hangs around her face, 17 months after Aizen’s defeat. She wears a white tekk with no fingers, similar to Byakuya’s, that extends above her elbows. She wears her Division Badge around her left sleeve, which has been reduced to just reaching her upper arm, as a lieutenant. Rukia, born into a lower social class, maintains her modesty even as an adoptive daughter of the nobility. She is graceful and “clean,” but she prefers to converse with ordinary folks. Her cold and solitary manner, on the other hand, frequently forces her to conceal her personal problems, even from her friends. Rukia never expresses her heart and finds it difficult to make friends. Rukia has no idea how to navigate the current human world. She is an excellent actor who has acted her way out of many difficult circumstances, including getting out of trouble with school teachers and persuading the Kurosaki family to let her live at their home. Rukia has difficulty finding clothes that actually fit her, especially as a Gigai in the Human World, so she steals clothes from Ichigo’s sister, Yuzu. Rukia enjoys anything rabbit-related and becomes irritated when someone mocks her obsession with them. People frequently have difficulties interpreting her drawings, which are generally rabbit-like, and she dislikes it when people criticize the quality of her work. Check out: 15 Of The Best Anime Like Bleach Gabriel 144cm ( Gabriel Dropout)![]() Gabriel has long golden hair that has a pink ombre. Her hair was nice and straight in Heaven, but it has grown unruly and wild on Earth. On occasion, she wears her hair in a high ponytail, and her eyes are baby blue. Many characters say she is very cute because of her adorable and childlike appearance, and Vigne says she’s like a doll, while Raphi mentions that she is always cute no matter what, and her cooking club classmates say she is adorable, and they even end up giving her a twin-tail hairstyle. Gabriel was once a prodigy angel from Heaven and the top Angel School student, and she was renowned for being exceedingly “angelic.” She has a wonderful disposition that is kind, diligent, and courteous. This personality lasted from the moment she arrived in the human world until she discovered the video game on her laptop, at which point her personality changed to “Fallen Angel.” Gab is the polar opposite of what she was as the “Fallen Angel,” caustic, heartless, and lazy. As time passed, her personality deteriorated even further, to the point where she was not afraid to use deception in order to keep everything in her favor, such as lying to her sister Zelel and pretending that she was still the “Prodigy Angel” she once was, and finally remaining as the “Fallen Angel” until the end. Nene Saikyo ( Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan (Chivalry of a Failed Knight))![]() Nene is small for her age and is frequently misunderstood as being younger. She has long, dark brown hair that stretches all the way to her back, bangs that cover her brow, and matching colored eyes. She is frequently seen wearing a blossom-patterned white kimono and an eye-catching red haori, both of which do not appear to be appropriate for her height, as the kimono hangs over her shoulders. In addition, she wears clogs, which are frequently heard when she walks around in regular conditions. Nene has a childlike disposition, which is appropriate for her stature. She is also a sharp-tongued person who has no difficulty making fun of and criticizing others, including her own students, but this may be due to her being a little absent-minded and not realizing that some may take offense to her words. She’s also highly flirty with her students, as evidenced by her flirtation with Ikki. However, when she is enraged, she emanates a tremendous amount of killing intent, causing most people to fear before her. Ouma Kurogane is one of the few persons who can withstand her bloodlust. Nene may be rather dishonest about how she truly thinks about certain things, which her friend Kurono enjoys making fun of. One of these issues is her feelings towards her master, Nangou. Check out: 9 Of The Best Anime To Watch If You Enjoy Chivalry Of A Failed Knight Dorothy Unsworth 145cm ( Black Clover)![]() Dorthy is a young-looking, fair-skinned, lilac-haired lady of slightly below-average height. Dorothy is adorned with a pointy hat with a wide brim and a wreath of wildflowers wrapped around the base of the cone. A flower-shaped brooch fastens her outer coat. She wears a light-colored top with puffy sleeves that stop just past her elbows, light-colored puffed short leggings, and a dark-colored vest with light-colored fur falling down over her hips underneath her cloak. Her shoes are pointy and contrast with a darker shade of her squad’s color. Dorothy appears to be a heavy sleeper since she is always asleep, regardless of how much noise is generated around her. She does, however, appear to be aware of her surroundings when sleeping since she votes in the admission exam and walks alone at various times. Dorothy has a carefree, compassionate, playful, and highly energetic “big sister” attitude when she is awake. Check out: 15 Animes That Are Just As Exciting Like Black Clover Touka Kirishima 156cm ( Tokyo Ghoul)![]() Touka is a slim and pretty teenage girl with short dark blue hair that reaches her chin and covers the right half of her face and blue eyes. She appears to be a normal, lovely girl that no one would think is a ghoul. Her facial features and haircut are strikingly similar to those of Touka’s mother, Hikari Kirishima, and Touka’s younger brother, Ayato Kirishima. For work and school, she wears a waitress uniform or a high school uniform, respectively, while her casual clothing is tomboyish streetwear. Her waitress outfit consists of a white shirt pulled up to her elbows, a black vest, a red tie, and a black skirt that reaches her lower thighs. Touka’s personality is initially defined by her duality of wrath and kindness, with her character journey centered on that rage diminishing and her kindness emerging. She is naturally gentle, but this was suppressed as a result of her father’s death and was subsequently forced to survive in the ghoul world at a young age, which necessitated her being brutal. As Shuu Tsukiyama points out, she used to appear more deadly and frigid, but she has softened up as a result of her human life and has continued to do so as a result of Ken Kaneki’s influence, which has allowed her to be the nice person she is deep down. Check out: 14 Anime To Watch If You Can’t Get Enough Of Tokyo Ghoul Rem 156cm ( Re:Zero)![]() Rem is a teenage girl with medium-length sky blue hair that hides her right eye, large light blue eyes, and youthful features. She also wears hair clips, a flower-shaped ribbon on the left side of her hair, and a maid hairband. Rem has a tendency to talk in a superficially nice manner and to act rashly at times. She feels both reverence for the place of worship and guilt towards her sister for a prior incident. She considered herself inferior because of her respect and shame for her sister. She falls in love with Subaru after saving her and becoming one of his most devoted followers. Rem will stick by him no matter what, even if Subaru rejects him. Rem’s memories were fully obliterated after she awoke from a nearly two-year hibernation, leaving her in a situation comparable to Crusch at the end of Arc 3. She’s wary of everyone, especially Subaru, and has even tried to strangle him twice and set up decoy paths and traps to get away from him because she deems him dangerous thanks to a mixture of the overwhelming Witch’s Miasma seeping from him after his multiple deaths, as well as his anger for the last Archbishop of Gluttony and her complete unwillingness to help her in her current state because Rem sees Louis as just an innocent child. Check out: 10 Anime To Watch If You Can’t Get Enough Of RE:ZERO Attia Simmons 152cm ( Freezing)![]() Attia is a petite young lady with short silvery-white hair and bright brown eyes. Her hair is coiled into two curly-tails on both sides of her head, resembling a typhoon. To her chagrin, she is incredibly diminutive for a girl her age, being the shortest Pandora shown in the series and having one of the tiniest bust sizes revealed thus far. She is dressed in her usual Genetics outfit. As evidenced by listening to Elizabeth’s commands to “teach” Satellizer to behave, Attia is the type of person who will do everything to complete her duty. She will go so far as to refuse to listen to President Chiffon unless she and Ticy intercede. According to what Arnett and Creo claimed, she apparently has a fascination for “clothing that turns invisible under the light.” She also dislikes physical labor, as she confessed to Ingrid during the tenth Nova Clash. She can be irritable at times because she is angry and insulted when people refer to her as flat-chested due to her small breasts. Ochaco Uraraka 156cm ( Freezing)![]() Ochaco is a short girl with a slim but curvy physique. She has a fair complexion and a continuous flush to her cheeks. Her eyes are wide and round. Their irises are a warm auburn brown, with quite thick top eyelashes, two longer and more prominent ones extending outwards on either side, and fewer but more individually defined bottom eyelashes. Her hair is shoulder-length and the same color as her eyes, bobbed, and curved inwards at the ends, with two lengthier clumps taking the same form on either side of her face, and bangs that reach approximately a quarter of the way down her forehead. She possesses a small, pinkish pad on the top inner segment of each of her fingers that is slightly darker than the rest of her skin, resembling the toe of a cat or a dog’s paw, which she uses to activate and deactivate her Quirk. Other classmates have described Ochaco as “the most laid-back girl” in her class, describing her as cheerful and, at times, a bit of an airhead. She is frequently quite blunt without even realizing it. Ochaco’s emotions, like Izuku Midoriya’s, are exaggerated and humorous: she is often charmed by certain personality traits and oddities that others exhibit, bursting into laughter at times, which she tries to control. Shinoa Hīragi 150cm ( Owari No Seraph (Seraph of the End))![]() Shinoa has gotten taller as a teenager, although she is still significantly shorter than many other people her age. She has a tiny, thin build, and her hair is now put up in the back with a magenta ribbon, with side braids. Her normal eye color is brownish-orange, but after being possessed by Shikama Dji, her eyes turn light yellow with narrower irises and pupils. Shinoa, with her cynical, apathetic demeanor, does not put any heart into her comments. She enjoys mocking others and has a dry sense of humor. Shinoa typically smirks before taunting or performing her antics on others, relishing in putting them in awkward circumstances. She can be proud and sarcastic, but she also has a nice, joyful, and cheery side to her. Shinoa does not shy away from revealing a manipulative side when the chance is raised upfront. Shinoa has a sensitive mentality about her low stature, which she developed after Yichir and Shih ridiculed her for being too short to drive a car. She smugly laughs before materializing her cursed gear to physically teach them a lesson. Nene Sakura 144cm ( New Game)![]() Nene has short bangs and light blonde hair that is normally tied in low pigtails tied with two light-blue marbles apiece, light-blue eyes, and she appears to be treated like a middle school kid at college. Her wardrobe is quite varied. Aoba Suzukaze describes Nene as juvenile, greedy, and a klutz who can’t focus on the task at hand, which is why she’s frequently spotted leaving her station. She is also an otaku who enjoys the Faries Story Series. According to the spin-off, Nene is determined to find her life’s purpose, which is why she attends college. Nezuko Kamado 150cm ( Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba)![]() Nezuko is a petite young girl with fair skin, clearly huge, prominent fangs, and sharp, stiletto nails with a light pink base and ombre fading to a red-pinkish tint at the tip where they point. Her hair is long, wavy, and black. It extends just past her waist, turning a flame-orange color as it passes her elbows, and looks to be crimped into enormous, straight ridges, worn side-swept sharply to the left. Her eyes are soft-looking, pale pink, with a lighter tint around the rims of their irises, slanted downward towards the sides of her face and framed by exceptionally long eyelashes, the pupils of which can look slit as she transforms. Nezuko’s initial human personality was that of a compassionate and kind girl who put others ahead of herself, much like her older brother, Tanjiro. She was also a compassionate elder sister to her younger siblings, frequently putting their needs ahead of her own. Nezuko is not hesitant to put herself in danger to protect her allies from demons, even after being back in human form. It is also demonstrated that when Tanjiro apologized to Nezuko, her kind, laid-back personality verifies this reality. While Nezuko begins like any other demon, vicious and eager for human flesh, she turns completely after witnessing her brother’s desire to protect her from being slain by a Demon Slayer regardless of her being a demon. Nezuko appears to have forgotten a large chunk of her human memories, except those relating to her family, and thus does not retain the precise personality she had prior to the change. She is still highly compassionate and protective of people she considers to be members of her family, owing largely to Sakonji Urokodaki’s impact on her while she was sleeping for two years. Check out: 11 Of The Best Anime Like Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Nagi Sanzenin 138cm ( Hayate no Gotoku! (Hayate the Combat Butler))![]() Nagi is tiny in stature, with long blond hair knotted into two long twin tails, bangs, and green eyes inherited from her parents. According to Hayate, Nagi resembles her mother. She wears a Hakuo uniform to school, but she frequently wears modern apparel at home. She wears a mask to cover her eyes and a short frilled skirt with long thigh-high stockings and a long-sleeved top with a large ribbon when she is her alter ego, Mask the Money. During New Year’s, she dresses in a yukata with various designs on it. Nagi always wears heels to appear taller since she does not want to be labeled as “short” or “little” by others. Nagi is spoiled, anti-social, or reclusive, hates to lose and admit her flaws, and has a difficult time confessing her real feelings towards Hayate. She acts immature a lot of the time, but is essentially a good, educated girl. She is good at finance and enjoys learning new things. She is concerned about her family and friends, yet she is hesitant to express her feelings. She frequently expresses her concern using “formal language.” She is a tsundere hikikomori princess and a tomboy. Megumin 152cm ( KonoSuba)![]() Megumin is a young girl with short, dark brown hair and strangely lazy crimson eyes. Her skin is fair, her complexion is light, and her features are doll-like. Megumin appears to have a delicate, under-developed form, in contrast to her peers in Crimson Village, who have a more developed body. Megumin is dressed in traditional witch garb, including a black cloak, a crimson robe, orange boots, and a black wizard’s cap with a gold border and trimmings, as well as a black choker, belt, and fingerless gloves. Megumin’s right leg is bandaged, and her left leg is wearing a black stocking. She wields a brown staff adorned with a floating crimson crystal. Megumin is a noisy, eccentric, and loud girl with a propensity for theatrics. She shares many of her people’s characteristics, such as chuunibyou inclinations and a liking for odd names, as a member of the Crimson Magic Clan. Megumin comes across as arrogant, often boasting about her destructive abilities, yet she quickly drops her act when put in a dangerous situation, such as when Kazuma threatened to hit her with her eyepatch. Megumin, despite her portrayal of a super-powerful magician, is actually rather juvenile and immature. She is touchy about her age and poorly developed body, becoming dejected or violent when addressed as a child. Despite privately perceiving Yunyun as a friend, she maintains a rather petty rivalry with her former classmate, Yunyun, and never misses a chance to humiliate and annoy her. Check out: 17 Anime To Watch If You Love Konosuba Rikka Takanashi 150cm ( Chuunibyo Demo koi ga Shitai!)![]() Rikka Takanashi is depicted as having dark purple-blue hair that is tied with a yellow ribbon. She has cyan eyes and wears a yellow contact lens on her right eye, which is covered with a medical eyepatch. She frequently wears a pair of roller shoes, which she utilizes to boost her movement and perform feats. Her idiot hair (ahoge) reacts to her mood, sometimes in a humorous manner, occasionally moving with sound effects. Rikka is a textbook case of chuunibyou, continually living out her fantasies and exhibiting odd habits as a result. She is dramatic and theatrical, claiming to have the “Tyrant’s Eye” that allows her to unveil fates and even wears an eyepatch to “lock its abilities.” Her delusions tend to match her real-life emotions, such as when she claims that tomatoes burn away one’s mana in order to avoid eating them. She enjoys referring to other anime and fictional works that are relevant to her chuunibyou fantasies. Rikka does her best to adhere to her fantasy, but there are a few times when she breaks character, such as when she gets flustered or is slapped in the head by Yuuta or her sister. She is disliked by her peers due to her strange outbursts, and she does not make an effort to make friends. Rikka, despite appearing to be a cool and mysterious sorceress, is actually terribly clumsy, generally gets low grades, and fails miserably when she tries to join other groups, such as cheerleading. Tanya Von Degurechaff 4’9″ ( The Saga Of Tanya The Evil)![]() Tanya describes the man she reincarnated from as a Japanese guy with a strong physique who was tall enough to be an imposing presence in comparison to her present, younger body. Tanya is a tiny girl with a very diminutive build for her age who could be mistaken for being even younger in her current existence. Her hair is blonde, and her eyes are a frigid blue. She has a fairy-like face that contrasts with her pale complexion. Visha described her face as exquisite and doll-like, but her keen eyes gave the appearance of a vampire. She wears an officer’s uniform and is known for messily tying her hair and wearing a peaked cap that is a little too big for her. Tanya characterized herself in a previous existence as someone with numerous complexes and believed that he was twisted. She has both superiority and inferiority complexes, as evidenced by how she compared herself to true geniuses with whom she couldn’t compete, while simultaneously wishing to be superior to others. Tanya has several sociopathic characteristics: she is cold, calculating, and frequently sees others as objects to be exploited. This enabled her to rapidly advance through the ranks of her profession in both incarnations. She is also a libertarian, as evidenced by her speech about free will and the desire for a pleasant existence in the back. Something she had also desired in a past life. This psychological trait is also the basis of her annoyance with how the Imperial Army treats their men, for whom the duty is absolute, and she cannot disobey even suicide missions. It’s also why Tanya despises Being-X for violating her freedom and attempting to convert her against her choice. Hestia 140cm ( Danmachi)![]() Hestia is a lovely and petite Goddess who appears to be in her twenties. She has blue eyes and black hair that is mid-thigh length and tied into two twin-tails that reach down to her thighs. Her hair is wrapped up with hair accessories that include blue and white petals as well as bell-shaped trinkets. Her petite stature draws attention to her breasts, earning her the moniker “Loli Big-boobs.” Her typical outfit consists of a little white dress with a blue ribbon around her neck and another wrapped beneath her breasts and around her arms, as well as a pair of white gloves. She normally goes barefoot. However, she does occasionally wear a pair of white flip-flops. Hestia is a gentle and vivacious Goddess. She is usually bursting with energy and is really enthusiastic about her feelings. This gave her a surprising amount of determination, as she was willing to spend three days in dogeza posture to get a weapon for Bell until Hephaestus ultimately yielded. She has been complimented for her kindness to others on numerous occasions. She does not discriminate against anyone and treats everyone fairly, including Hera. Both Hephaestus and Penia have mentioned that she was the only one who didn’t make fun of their defects, such as her friend’s deformity and the latter’s status as a Goddess of Poverty. Hestia is well known for it, which surprised Loki when she described Dionysus as terrible. Check out: 12 Anime Like Danmachi Aka Is It Wrong to Try to Pick up Girls in A Dungeon? Tsuyu Asui 4’11” ( My Hero Academia)![]() Tsuyu is a short girl with a slim physique compared to her classmates and noticeably huge hands. Her appearance is frog-like; she has a very large mouth that dips down a little in the middle, precisely like a typical frog’s, and oval-shaped eyes with huge, black irises and visible lower eyelashes. She also exhibits some frog-like behaviors, such as hopping on all fours rather than running and holding herself in a frog-like manner. Her hair is a dark sea-green hue and very long, extending all the way to her waist, with the ends wrapped up in a giant bow of hair at the bottom. She has two shoulder-length clumps flanking her face and shorter bangs above her eyes, some of which are swept to the side. Tsuyu is a direct and aloof person who constantly talks frankly about her mind and what she thinks about people. Tsuyu prefers to be addressed as “Tsu,” but only by individuals, she considers friends. Except for teachers and other authority figures, she frequently addresses everyone with the honorific “-chan.” Tsuyu’s parents were usually busy at work, so she was forced to take care of her younger siblings at an early age. Tsuyu developed into a highly mature and responsible individual as a result of these circumstances, able to split her focus between school and home chores without allowing one to interfere with the other. Check out: Must Watch Anime Like My Hero Academia Maho Hiyajo 140cm ( Steins;Gate 0)![]() Despite being in her twenties, she is sometimes misidentified as a child due to her incredibly tiny stature. She has long dark-green hair and typically dresses casually with mismatched shoes. Maho is a fiery young lady. Despite being a prodigy and Dr. Leskinen’s right hand, Maho began to have self-trust issues after Kurisu Makise arrived at the institution, frequently believing herself the Salieri to Kurisu’s Amadeus. After Kurisu’s death in Japan, Maho began to chat to Kurisu Amadeus more frequently, building a mother-child bond with him until she met Okabe and had to stop interacting with her. Schierke 130cm ( Berserk)![]() Schierke has dark green hair and is thin and petite. Her customary costume consists of a purple robe and a traditional witch’s cap. Although these outfits make her stand out in a crowd, she favors them over anything else because they were handcrafted and given to her by her master, Flora, and serve as a remembrance of her. Furthermore, Schierke has explained that she implements her magic best when she is dressed as a witch, as it allows her to concentrate better. She usually wields a wooden stick that spirals towards the top and curls entirely around at the end. Her shoes and bag, which she carries over her shoulder, are the same color as her staff. She is generally accompanied by an Elf named Ivalera, who sits on her hat. Schierke is quiet and introverted for her age, and she is mature for her age. She was incredibly respectful to her mistress as a disciple and was deeply devastated when she died. Currently, she gets along well with the majority of Guts’ group and absolute strangers like Sonia and Isma. She is scornful of the human world and the Holy See’s religion as a result of being shielded during her upbringing, yet she finds life outside of the forest acceptable while traveling with her companions. Check out: 14 Gruesome Anime Like Berserk Louise De La Valliere 152cm ( The Familiar of Zero)![]() Louise has long, curly pink hair that reaches her back and pink eyes that suit her hair. She bears a striking resemblance to her sister Cattleya, and Saito once remarked that Louise might look like Cattleya when she grows older. Louise has a modest bust compared to the other females at her academy, which is a recurring humor point in the series and is frequently used as a point of comparison when Saito purportedly cheats on other girls due to their larger busts. As an Academy student, she wears a white long-sleeved top beneath a long, black cloak that reaches her feet and is pinned into a spherical, bronze clasp like the rest of the Academy pupils. She also wears a short, pleated black skirt, black thigh stockings, and black, low-heeled Mary Jane shoes. She is revealed to always carry her wand with her as a mage. Louise dislikes summoning Saito so much that she wishes for a familiar spirit, such as a gryphon or something. Louise exhibits her “hatred” towards Saito in many ways, including beating him up with her magic and striking him with a whip. However, her feelings for Saito grow deeper and more powerful as the story progresses. Henrietta and Louise got along well because they were childhood friends. When Henrietta gives Louise commands, she accepts them gladly and without hesitation. Henrietta also refers to Louise by her first two names. Taiga Aisaka 4’8″ ( Toradora)![]() Taiga is a teenager, yet her diminutive stature gives her the appearance of a younger child. Ami makes fun of her about it all the time. Taiga has long, curly brown hair that falls just around her butt in waves (derived from her mother), as well as huge, dark amber eyes (inherited from her father). She is flat as a board and is ashamed of it, but she often makes up for it with her relentless gaze or frightening comments. Others have described her as extremely attractive. Taiga is generally spotted outside wearing her school uniform or long clothes. She wears long coats over dresses and is seen wearing stockings underneath long jackets. She is a well-dressed girl from a wealthy household, and even her pajamas are nice. At the beginning of the series, Taiga’s personality earned her the moniker “Palmtop Tiger.” She becomes easily agitated over little matters, particularly her underdeveloped stature for a girl her age, and reacts aggressively to people, with the exception of her only friend at the moment, Minori Kushieda, and her crush, Yusaku Kitamura. Taiga is also clumsy, something others observe, and she acknowledges. In fact, her clumsiness causes her to attack Ryuuji Takasu twice, the second time in his own home, which is right next door to Taiga’s. Initially, Yusaku uses Taiga’s crush on him to calm her down whenever she becomes hostile.

She develops two black horns on the sides of her head as a result of her use of Forbidden Magic. After joining the group, she begins donning the Black Bull squad’s distinctive robe. After training for six months in the Heart Kingdom, she wears a modified form of the robe, which is held by a grey chain. Secre is generally uninterested. She frequently pecks at Asta’s head or pulls on his hair when she is irritated. She also has a predisposition to use this approach to convey her opinions to others, especially when she disagrees. Secre, in contrast to how she treats him, is exceedingly loyal to Asta, and she rarely leaves his side. She also continuously assists Asta in his many situations, such as leading him through the dungeons or showing him the path to a relic hidden behind a wall. While Secre originally only followed Asta due to his grimoire, as the series unfolds, she grows to actually care for him. She also has a high level of loyalty and dedication to Prince Lemiel Silvamillion Clover, having defied natural law to keep him alive and ended up causing herself to be sealed as a bird, and despite this, she still has a strong sense of loyalty to him, even going so far as to say that she would gladly pursue him to the afterlife when his body started to crumble after exhausting his power.

She has long, flowing black hair that is adorned with a black ribbon. Her attire as an Emroy apostle is evocative of Earth’s Gothic Lolita culture: a black dress with red frills, black leggings supported by garters, and red boots. Her main weapon is a huge purplish ax, which she wields with little difficulty. When she is going to do something harmful, her lip color changes from pink to purple in the anime. She wore a priestess trainee ceremonial black garment before being chosen as Emroy’s Apostle throughout her youth. Rory has a friendly attitude, as seen by the fact that she immediately made friends with Yji Itami and began sitting on his lap. On the other hand, she has no sympathy for her foes, as seen by her massacre of a gang of bandits without remorse. In battle, she is proven to have a violent, cruel disposition, as evidenced by murdering the last bandit after burying a pair of dead raped women, yet she is not without a sense of justice, frequently targeting bandits and criminals while remaining amicable to the common people. After they fight alongside one other at the Battle of Italica, Rory befriends Shino Kuribayashi, who has a similar “warrior” mentality and high level of combat proficiency to Rory. Rory appears to prefer to help those in need while eliminating those associated with clans, such as bandits.

She has shoulder-length wavy hair that fades from black to dark purple and is arranged into a flat yakai-maki bun at the back of her head, which is tied with a white, turquoise, and light purple butterfly adornment. She has ear-length, voluminous curtain bangs that fall down to frame her face, with two slightly thinner chin-length strands of hair in front of her ears below them. Shinobu is tiny in stature and has been described as having a petite and frail physique, which is subsequently emphasized by her remark that she lacks the physical strength to decapitate a demon like the other Hashira. According to Zenitsu Agatsuma, Shinobu is so adorable that she could make a living off of her beauty alone. Shinobu has a bright, welcoming, and happy temperament, and she always has an easygoing smile on her face no matter what situation she is in. Her outward conduct, however, is quickly revealed to be a ruse. This is seen in the way she enjoys taunting others, to the point of being sadistic about it, most notably picking on Giyu Tomioka. Despite her laid-back demeanor and early pretense of wanting to get along with demons, she can be harsh to them, as evidenced by her killing the Spider Demon (Daughter) after falsely promising to help her and killing Nezuko Kamado without hesitation. After hearing the complete story of Tanjiro Kamado and his sister, she is revealed to have a more compassionate side for both of them.

Her upper torso is adorned with lace and a fitted blazer. Her hands are covered in long lace gloves, revealing no skin.

Shalltear is an extremely flirty character who is frank about her sexual inclinations, including her master Ainz. In the past, she’s shown a penchant for bisexuality and necrophilia. So Shalltear often makes sexual approaches towards zombies like Yuri Alpha, who avoids her as much as possible. Despite her seeming honesty and shamelessness, she is not always innocent. Shalltear is a prideful vampire who takes her role as a Floor Guardian very seriously. While having no patience or tolerance for failure, she will often erupt in wrath when an adverse situation arises. Shalltear will kill any servant that displeases her, yet she won’t punish people for failing at unattainable tasks. When Shalltear fails a mission, she tends to become depressed and introspective about her faults.

Facets with big brown eyes, defined brows, a little tilted nose, and a dazzling smile. Her dark hair is half-tied over her head, with huge strands on either side of her face. Like her fellow Warrior hopefuls, she wears a white jacket and slacks, suspender straps, a hard hat, and knee-high leather combat boots. Gabi is enthusiastic and outspoken, expressing herself freely. She is also brave, determined, and willing to risk her life to achieve a goal for a perceived larger good. She also cares about her Eldian compatriots, risking her life to take out a train rather than let 800 of them rush the shooters guarding their goal. These qualities might also make her aggressive and domineering. This drives her to be rude at times, imposing her views on others and taking charge whether or not requested. She is most assertive around her fellow Warrior candidates, threatening to ‘punish’ those who disagree with her. Nonetheless, they enjoy spending time with her because she is pleasant.

From incredibly powerful demons to undead monsters, here are 35 of the scariest characters the anime industry ever created. Enjoy! Afuro – Afro Samurai![]() Well, not really spooky or scary looking, but I still wouldn’t want to run into this dark anime character on a dark, windy night on a grassy hill with my sword drawn. Afro, the former “Number Two,” is on a quest to find the guy who murdered his father to become “Number One.” Afro has been practicing swordsmanship since he was a boy, usually wielding his sword with his right hand while his left holds onto his sheath, but during his fight with Jinno, he used both hands to compensate for Jinno’s dual-wielding speed. He is a very quiet person, probably because his life as “Number Two” prevents him from having personal relationships; thus, he says little, if anything, when approached. Despite his frigid exterior, Afro, like his father, is “sensitive inside.” He likes lemonade. Check Out: Best Anime Samurai Sword Fights You Should Watch Dina Fritz Smiling Titan – Attack on Titan![]() Most of the characters from this dark anime series are scary, but this one takes the cake with a very creepy smile. Dina’s Pure Titan was tall and resembled a masculine human, as do most typical Pure Titans. Its most recognizable trait was its distinctive smile, with its lips stuck wide open, showing its gums and teeth at all times showing off her dental health. Dina’s Pure Titan had a slender, emaciated build with stocky proportions and visible ribs, as well as an exceptionally lengthy neck. It had medium-length, light hair that just reached the back of its neck and small, deeply sunken grey eyes. Check Out: Anime Like Attack On Titan: What To Watch After Finishing The Show Kaoru Hanayama – Baki![]() It’s not the scars on his face; I mean, Kenshin has facial scars, but he’s adorable. The thing that makes Hanayama scary are the glasses! Yes, definitely the glasses. Kaoru is a big, muscular kid for his age. His face is scarred, and he has black hair. Kaoru also has a complete back tattoo named “Standing Man” in remembrance of the guy who saved their ancestor. Kaoru is almost always in his white suit and glasses while not fighting. The tie is purple (later white). A couple of gunshots slammed into Hanayama’s lips caused him to erupt, leaving two enormous wounds on his face and exposing part of his jaw muscles. He won the battle, but he spends the series hiding behind a mask. His appearance has hardly changed in five years. Check Out: 20 Anime Like Baki that You Need to Watch Today Bunny Beast – Blood C![]() These are cute little beasties that jump and run around and enjoy themselves. But don’t judge a book by its cover. They are tall and have white skin. Their eyes appear to be gold. They have bunny ears, short tails, long claws, red stripes along their bodies and can change their limbs into bags or meat processors. They can also split by being sliced in half or by choice. The Bunny Elder Bairn is obsessed with tormenting and killing humans with its limbs. Such as turning their limbs (in this example, arms) into propelled razors and bludgeons, turning their fingers into sharp points, converting joints and shoulders into bags to trap their struggling human victims while they tear them into bloody, gory smoothies. Check Out: 21 Anime Like Darwins Game Ophelia – Claymore![]() If I had nowhere else to turn to, I would also brave the land and go against youma and awakened ones, but Ophelia is a whole new bag of nope! Ophelia’s hair is pale, silvery blond, and she wears it in a long, tight braid. Her hairline is defined by a pronounced widow’s peak. She has silver eyes and wears the normal Claymore outfit, as do most Claymores. Ophelia is a very skinny woman with light grey skin, green hair, and the unmistakable golden eyes of Yoma in her awakened form. Blades sprout from her back and the tips of her hair, and her lengthened arms are capped with vicious claws. Her bottom body is dominated by a beautiful turquoise serpentine tail. Check Out: 26 of The Best Anime Swordsman of All Time Sachiko Shinozaki – Corpse Party![]() Fair skin girl with jet black hair in a red dress that would try to pull our balls from a tight hole with a pair of sheers is another definition way to describe nope! Sachiko is a petite young lady with long black hair and a full face of bangs. Her worn crimson clothing and grey skin bear terrible rope burns on her neck. Her clothes and skin change when she is pleased. Her bangs are held back by a crimson hairpin, revealing her black eyes and more defined facial features. Due to her demise, Sachiko became the evil tyrant of Heavenly Host, ensnaring innocent victims and killing them. Sachiko has shown in the past, especially in Corpse Party: Book of Shadows, that she wants to play with her victims, claiming to be their friends or letting them go to be killed later, just like a child does with their toys. The Millennium Earl – D. Gray-Man![]() I betcha you wouldn’t want to be tricked by great grandmama and turned into a demon either, would you? He conjures up Demons in the minds of the dead (Akuma). He is a long-gone sorcerer intent on destroying the planet. He once forged an alliance with the Noah Clan, calling himself “Duke Millennium” (Except Roadgray, who calls him Millenie). It’s hard to miss the Earl’s hideous Victorian caricature in a cape and top hat, with a huge grin that never stops even while he’s speaking or eating, and eyes concealed behind pince-nez spectacles. In the manga, practically every sentence ends with a heart. In the anime, he’s always nice. He has two personalities in the story. The first is his usual pleasant, friendly, and happy demeanor. He’s a family member with Noah, and he adores Road. But he also has a cruel side that enjoys playing with people’s lives. Check Out: 16 of The Best Anime Like Blue Exorcist Monokuma – Danganronpa: The Animation![]() This isn’t a cute talking teddy bear. Not in the slightest! Monokuma is a bear whose entire face and body are divided into two pieces by the center. It is comparable to the Yin-Yang symbol, in which there is a balance between two extremes, similar to a “flow.” Its right side is white and has the iconic teddy bear expression, whilst its left side has a more sinister appearance. It is dark and has an evil smile as well as a red, horizontal, jagged eye that mimics the Hope’s Peak Academy insignia. Monokuma is generally described as easygoing and pleasant on the surface but with a dark undercurrent. However, he always betrays his wicked character pretty early by discussing murdering games and his love for sorrow. He is well renowned for his tendency to say and do anything he wants. He enjoys hysteria, violence, and mayhem, which he encapsulates in one of his catchphrases, “thrills, chills, kills!” Shiro – Deadman Wonderland![]() Shiro isn’t that scary to look at, but deep down, she’s a rotten egg. The appearance of the Wretched Eggs is similar to Shiro’s, except she always seems to have a hooded and lethargic expression in her eyes and a terrible murderous smile on her face. She used to wear a scarlet, worn-out cape and a mask with no holes that covered her eyes and nose. She also wore a hefty suit of armor as the Red Man, which protected her body, legs, and arms. This attire makes her look like Aceman, a superhero Shiro idolized and what she refers to as the Wretched Egg. The Wretched Egg eventually changes her appearance. She is now dressed in a light purple bodysuit with long sleeves that are ripped at the ends. She also sports a metal collar with a tiny chain attached. Check Out: 50 Best Anime Characters with White Hair Enmu – Demon Slayer![]() He had ringed blue eyes that tilted sharply down towards the sides of his head, the left one with the kanji for “Lower One” engraved into its iris and a horizontal slit on his right for a pupil. Ses cheekbones were marked with three square-shaped markings split by a smaller square, ranging in color from green to yellow. He had straight, chin-length dark black hair parted to his right, the right side tucked behind his ear. His hair is red-orange near the ends but blue at the points of two longer, shoulder-length strands that curve upward and forth from under his hair. Enmu had a nasty attitude and enjoyed tormenting mankind by giving them a happy dream before turning it into a nightmare. He enjoyed torturing others and seeing their painful looks. In fact, he liked it when his fellow demons were slaughtered in front of him. Check Out: 11 Of The Best Anime Like Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Hyakkimaru – Dororo![]() Eaten by monsters as a baby, Hyakkimaru is limbless and skinless. Yup! Skinless. The image of Hyakkimaru as a baby is the stuff of nightmares. He feels no pain, thus feels no fear, and is unaffected by killing. This is a swordsman worthy to face off with Afrou. Well, in the early parts of the dark fantasy anime, at least. Later on, he regains his sense of pain and grows back his limbs and stuff, making him less scary. Check Out: 26 Anime Like Vinland Saga For Fans Of Violent Fantasy Lucy – Elfen Lied![]() She was a gloomy, suspicious, distant, and frustrated child (Kaede). Others sneered at her because of her horns. Because of her horns, she was ostracised by the orphanage staff, harassed, and despised by other children. She didn’t understand why others discriminated against her; therefore, she hated herself for having horns. She recognized that the other children were miserable and needed to make others miserable, especially those who were already wretched. She is lovely, polite, and shy when she is intimate with Kouta and Aiko Takada. Lucy developed a great hatred of Humans after witnessing her dog’s murder by orphanage bullies, killing whole families to utilize their house without sorrow or guilt. Lucy and Kaede then started hearing a voice in their heads, purportedly the DNA’s voice. The voice of her Diclonius impulses resembled her but with a cold and malicious expression. The voice warned her she couldn’t live with Humans and added: “Come. Then I will build you a home “. Lucy then started acting on her instincts, killing Humans by triggering heart attacks and transferring her genes to Male Humans, who would produce Diclonius children, killing and infecting more Humans. Her Diclonii instincts took control, making her nasty and psychotic. Check Out: Top 31 Anime with Overpowered Main Characters Caster – Fate Zero![]() During the 4th Holy Grail War, he served Ryuunosuke Uryuu. Caster enjoys giving his victims hope and relief before killing them in horrifying ways. Caster was summoned before the Fourth Holy Grail War. His Master was Ryuunosuke Uryuu, a serial killer who accidentally summoned a family using their blood. Like his Master, he lacks morality and has no desire to obtain the Holy Grail. He enjoys giving his victims a moment of reprieve, or even hope of escape, before killing them horribly. Caster believes that giving his victims hope will heighten their anguish and dread at death, which he enjoys. He also warps and twists persons into contraptions for his Master’s amusement, such as a girl into a pipe organ. Check Out: 10 of the Best FATE Anime Series of All Time, According to Fans Gantz – Gantz![]() Gantz’s personality as an individual is unknown, but inside the Black Sphere, his humor is dark and corrosive, calling the Hunters derogatory names like “Bitch,” “Titties,” and “Homo” in their profile screens, and frequently commenting on how poor their performance in the Game was when giving away the points. It is uncertain whether this trait is shared by all clones or if it is unique to the Tokyo Clone. Check Out: 35 Of The Best Horror Anime That Will Traumatize You Seido Takizawa – Tokyo Ghoul![]() Takizawa was a person with short brown hair and brown eyes. Like other detectives, he liked blue clothing and wore it professionally. Physically, he is a one-eyed ghoul after the time skip. He appears more menacing. His hair is now white and unruly, reaching his chin. His nails, toes, and lips have turned black. The dark bags under his browless eyes, one of which is his left kakugan, give him a fatigued look. He wears loose-fitting black robes with wide elbow-length sleeves and a white emblem on the hood. His demeanor altered considerably after becoming a half-ghoul and being tortured by Akihiro Kanou. He is a ruthless killer who has fully embraced his ghoul nature and Aogiri Tree’s beliefs. He enjoys murdering and believes in mastering fear by becoming the monster one fears. Errant or wild behavior is tempered by periods of clarity and self-awareness. Resentment and frustration over being eclipsed by others in the past remain intact in his memory. Check Out: 14 Anime To Watch If You Can’t Get Enough Of Tokyo Ghoul Urado – Ghost Hunt![]() Kaneyuki Miyama was a wealthy man preoccupied with extending his own life. He traversed the world in search of a treatment for the sickness that had tormented him since boyhood. He developed a crush on Vlad the Impaler and Elizabeth Bathory during his travels. He proceeded to imitate Elizabeth Bathory by murdering individuals and bathing in their blood. He also adopted the name “Urado,” which is derived from “Vlad.” Even after he died, his ghost continued to murder young people in order to prolong his own existence. Gyo Fish – Gyo![]() Just like the bunnies up there, this is a none speaking role. These fishies travel in swarms and are not limited to water. Yup, these things have legs. These legged fish eat normal people, and in turn, these humans turn into fishies, too. But let’s not get too into this as not to spoil tour fun. Ai Enma – Hell Girl![]() If a small pale girl tells you, she can send the people you dislike straight into hell with the help of straw dolls: Run! Ai is a fair-skinned girl with long, straight black hair done in a hime cut that she wears unfastened, crimson eyes (which were once brown until she was buried alive), and soft pink lips. She has the physical appearance of a thirteen-year-old girl, which is how old she was at the time of her death, and has done so for well over 400 years. Ai has a frigid personality, despite not being this way at first. Even in emotionally charged situations, she does not appear to be moved in the least. Ai is also very silent and solemn. She appears to only speak when necessary, rarely speaking simply for the sake of speaking frankly. If Ai does speak out of the norm, it is about something she considers important for someone to know or correct someone when required. Her introverted personality is primarily owing to her emotions being locked up when she was transformed into the Hell Girl. Check Out: 25 Anime Girl with Short Black Hair Shion Sonozaki – Higurashi: When They Cry![]() Shion is identical to Mion in every manner except that Shion wears her hair down and has a bright yellow ribbon placed on the back of her head to distinguish herself from her sister. She has two yellow ribbons drawn back on the sides of her hair in her Matsuri and Kizuna sprites. Shion has long mint green hair and blue eyes. Despite appearing more dainty and sophisticated than Mion, thanks to her education in St. Lucia, she is far more shrewd, manipulative, and mischievous than Mion. She despised St. Lucia, referring to it as a “factory for creating ladies,” and was repeatedly in conflict with the government for different offenses. To get away, she examines all of the school’s security systems, guard schedules, and administration staff behaviors to the point where she can influence them by spreading rumors about her having a love affair with a male teacher. She enjoys taunting Mion and making her uncomfortable by taking control of Keiichi every time she has the chance. Check Out: 30 Anime Like Higurashi When They Cry Chairman Isaac Netero – Hunter X Hunter![]() Isaac Netero appeared feeble, although he was in good shape and robust for his age. He wore a ponytail, a bushy beard, and pierced ears. Netero wore a typical man’s kimono and geta with one ha (tooth). Netero was vivacious, mischievous, and at times oblivious. While he could perform professionally when required upon as Chairman of the Hunter Association, he was otherwise described as mad. During the 287th Hunter Exam, his words and thoughts were clearly at odds. But he was a true martial artist who fought honestly. He liked a challenge and was excited to face a formidable foe. In his leadership of the Hunter Association, he routinely tested the physical limits of people seeking to become Hunters. Biscuit Krueger even branded Netero a “twisted individual” for giving Hunters ridiculous tasks with short deadlines that should take years to finish. He liked challenges and wanted his Vice-Chairman to be someone he couldn’t stand. Many Hunters left risqué magazines under his effigy as an homage. He also gave Menchi a short glance at the 287th Hunter Exam. Check Out: 10 Anime You Need To Watch After Hunter x Hunter Illumi Zoldyck – Hunter X Hunter![]() Illumi rarely shows emotion. He has long jet black hair and big, black, pupil-less eyes. Illumi employs big circular headpins to rebuild Gittarackur’s facial anatomy, muscles, and voice. Illumi’s hair used to be merely shoulder length. Short sleeves with a shirt underneath, grey jeans. Illumi rarely expresses herself. Unbelievably, Illumi often speaks in a happy, absent-minded tone. He is a stone, harsh man who just considers his own interests. But he still loves his younger brother, Killua, in a warped and overprotective way, to the point that he utilized his Nen power to control him to secure his life and obedience. Nanika – Hunter X Hunter![]() Nanika’s true identity is unknown. It turns Alluka’s sclerae, irises, and mouth black when it appears, making the latter appear larger. Nanika, like Alluka, has a soft spot for Killua Zoldyck, whom it refers to by name. [nota bene] Nanika seeks to win people’s praise, particularly Killua’s, by granting desires and generally requests that he pat it. Nanika is heartbroken and tears up as Killua orders it never to show again. It eventually forgives Killua after Killua pledges to safeguard both Alluka and Nanika and to pet Nanika anytime it pleases. Nanika also seems to be on good terms with Alluka, as the latter was visibly upset when she sensed its anguish. Majito – Jujutsu Kaisen![]() Mahito is a human-like cursed spirit with a patchwork face and grey eyes. (In the anime, Mahito’s left eye is dark blue, and his right is grey.) His long grayish-blue hair is parted into three huge strands and tied at the ends. Along with his face, Mahito appears to be stitched together all over his body. He usually wears a three-piece black shawl on his left sleeve. He also wears identical jeans and white sneakers. Toy with human emotions is Mahito, a sadistic cursed spirit. He believes he was born from human sins and is the embodiment of human hatred towards one another. As a result, Mahito believes humans should be extinct and cursed spirits should govern. Check Out: 25 of The Most Visually Stunning Anime Like Jujutsu Kaisen Tenko Shimura – My Hero Academia![]() Tomura has a pale complexion, yellow teeth, and deep wrinkles around his eyes. His lips are dry and uneven, and he has a mole under his right lip and noticeable scars under his right eye. His unkempt grayish-blue hair is left in irregular waves draping over his face. His eyes and lips are normally hidden, but when seen, they are wide and insane, with blazing red irises. Tomura has a twisted personality, like Izuku Midoriya. He has no regard for his or anybody else’s life and has no qualms about murdering innocent people. A “man-child,” arrogant, greedy, dependant, demanding, angry if things didn’t go his way, and comparing reality to a computer game. Instead of using finesse to solve difficulties, Tomura uses force. Instead of striking out and assaulting others or himself, Tomura ripped at his own neck when he became irritated. Check Out: Must Watch Anime Like My Hero Academia Empty Head Girl – Parasyte: The Maxim![]() This one is from a pretty dark anime series about a parasitic alien species that can modify the host’s body. During the alien invasion, we see humans turn into grotesque creatures that could even bite your head clean off. But this one wins the creepiest alien award. One of the terrifying anime characters that still gives me nightmares. Check Out: 11 Of The Craziest Anime Like Parasyte: The Maxim Gotou – Parasyte: The Maxim![]() Gotou is one of his kind’s more intelligent individuals. He has a superior attitude towards the human race, believing that they are nothing more than garbage. In combat, he shows no remorse, dismembering his opponents without hesitation. He has demonstrated patience by waiting for his turn to fight and monitoring his opponents and even allowing Shinichi to go so that he can recover. Despite his belief that he is superior to humans, he nevertheless regards himself as a “wild organism” that “lives to fight.” Mamoru Uchida – Perfect Blue![]() What could be more terrifying than a deranged stalker? What makes him scarier is that he can be someone in real life. He adores Mima. His appearance and aura often scare others. Several individuals have called him a freak or a strange. When Mima changed careers, he stalked her and sent her threatening letters, one of which harmed Mima’s agent, Tadokoro. He becomes obsessed with Mima throughout the film, buying every adult magazine that displays her naked images. His office is decorated with Mima-related artifacts. His fixation grows as he receives emails from the “Real Mima” indicating she can only trust him (but in reality, it is really Rumi Hidaka using him as a scapegoat). Never seen anything uglier He becomes convinced that the real Mima is an imposter near the end of the film, so he takes it upon himself to “defend the real Mima” and remove the impediment. He then attacks Mima and tries to rape her. She grabs a nearby hammer and smashes him in the head, knocking him out. Like the other victims, Rumi killed him when he was no longer needed. His body was seen next to Tadokoro’s. Check Out: 26 Of The Best Heart Warming Anime Films You Should Watch Today Kyubey – Puella Magi Madoka Magica![]() Kyubey resembles a cat. It has white fur and four ears, one set like a cat’s and the other like a rabbit’s. It has ruby eyes and golden earrings. The ear looks to be divided into three parts, with a pink-white fading and three red ovals. These ears appear to be what makes the girls wonderful, as shown in Sayaka Miki’s diamond. It has a long tail and pointed ears with a pinkish peach inside. To eliminate Grief Seed fragments, it has a hot pink egg-shaped oval on its back. Kyubey is an Incubator with no personal grasp of human emotion despite his human-like appearance. Despite their individuality, Kyubey and the Incubators lack a sense of self. When a Kyubey is slain, another will step out and carry on as if nothing happened. The Incubators are a cold-blooded race that wants to use human emotions to generate energy and avoid the Heat Death of the Universe. The Incubators don’t care if the mechanism they employ to extract this power — Magical girl — is considered evil by mankind. Megumi Shimizu – Shiki![]() Megumi was a cute, pretty young lady. Her skin was smooth and pale with a yellow undertone. Her body was slim and hourglass-shaped. Megumi has long, wavy strawberry blonde hair that was parted down the middle and framed by unruly bangs on her forehead and cheeks. Megumi’s eyes were a cool cherry red. Her brows were narrow, straight, and arched upward. Inverted triangular face with chin and jawline defined. Her nose was thin, upturned, and pointed. She had a small mouth and thick rosy lips with an upper lip somewhat thinner than a bottom lip with lipstick. Megumi could be selfish and just think about herself. To make matters worse, the other villagers teased her for dressing beautifully in a location like Sotoba. That anyone outside of Sotoba was peculiar and that her thoughts of living in a major city were pointless and stupid was something she resented about the locals. Check Out: Top 40 Dark Anime That Are Guaranteed To Give You Nightmares Medusa The Witch – Soul Eater![]() Her most prominent and regular attire is a black body-length suit with a hood that extends down to her legs. The hood itself has two eye-like markings on either side that resemble a snake’s mouth with teeth and fangs when worn with her hair. She is barefoot with black toenails and fingernail lacquer with yellow arrows pointing upwards when not in disguise. Medusa portrays herself as a loving and helpful member of the DWMA faculty, even calming Maka Albarn when she expressed her fears as a meister and showing “care” for other pupils like Soul Eater. She was regarded across the academy for being a nice teacher who also mentored students. Check Out: 18 Of The Best Anime’s By Bones Studio ( According To My Anime List ) No Face – Spirited Away![]() No-Face was semi-transparent when he originally arrived, slipping in and out of sight. His organs are visible and pulsing in various states. His body is shaped like a long, black tube. While it is unknown whether No-Face has a physical body, it has been demonstrated that he can develop arms and legs capable of leaving footprints as he walks. A frightening, expressionless mask with grey-violet accents is painted on his “head,” and while there is a mouth on the mask, No-Face has revealed that his true, expertly-hidden mouth is larger than the one on his mask. No-Face is a lonesome spirit who starts to follow Chihiro Ogino after becoming intrigued by her genuineness. His speech was made up of grunts and moans rather than meaningful words. No-Face learned by example and adapted to his circumstances because he didn’t know much about the Bathhouse or other spirits in general.

Isabella wore a black garment with long sleeves and a high collar that covered a big amount of her neck after becoming the Grandmother of the Premium Farms.

Her young comic personality was shown when she terrified Leslie by bursting out of the tree. Isabella’s personality changed drastically after she lost Leslie and understood the orphanage’s actual goal; to raise them like cattle for the demons. It was all done to extend her own survival, including becoming a Mama, giving birth to Ray, and sending the orphans off to become demon food. Check Out: 13 Dark Anime Like The Promised Neverland Peter Ratri – The Promised Neverland![]() Peter is a stout man with a scary visage. His long white hair is straight and curly towards the ends. His hair is also parted in the middle. He has green eyes like most of his Ratri kin. He usually wears a white suit with a black tie. Peter takes his duty as Keeper of the Promise very seriously, as seen by his execution of several people deemed traitors. He was also willing to sacrifice others to keep the vow. His depravity is revealed after the Queen, and all other demon nobles are killed; instead of taking this opportunity to free humanity, he wants to take control over the demons and keep the status quo of raising children as livestock, but now under his terms, and having his clan be the ruling power instead. Juuzou Suzuya – Tokyo Ghoul![]() Suzuya is a young androgynous man with pale skin and shoulder-length white hair. His bangs are held back by scarlet hairpins that represent the Roman numeral XIII. His eyes are dark red with bags. He self-stitches himself as a sort of body modification. A pair of scarlet threads resembling two xs are sewed underneath his right eye. Another one below his bottom lip and several more around his right arm and hand. His outfit consisted of a white suit with rolled-up sleeves, half-buttoned, polka-dotted red suspenders, black pants, and red slippers. Above all, he donned a black suit with rolled sleeves. Suzuya’s personality was distorted as a child, but after Big Madam’s therapy, he no longer felt fear, pain, or had morality. Mentor Yukinori Shinohara called him a “difficult child.” Despite his childlike charm, he was a violent and unstable man. He seemed to take satisfaction in his ability to kill cleanly, without unnecessary movements. He kills without hesitation. He even considers it part of regular life and is unaware of death’s weight. Terraformars![]() Let’s be honest; a flying cockroach is a terrifying thing. Now imagine a humanoid cockroach. These creatures are by far the scariest character in anime. I was fine with the manga, but when I saw them moving in the anime adaptation, I withdrew my involvement on the mission to Mars. The Terraformars are anthropomorphic Martian cockroaches. They resemble Homo erectus in appearance. They are versatile and driven by survival. They are cockroach descendants with an inherent antipathy towards humans. There are various sorts, and their behavior varies based on the individual, but they usually maintain a neutral expression. They don’t seem to have much of a culture, but they do lead their brethren into a fighting force. They have a sense of camaraderie when an Invoker is around, yet they are as attached to their parents as a roadside flower. They also appear intelligent. Because Terraformars can’t sense pain or tiredness, they’re prone to working themselves to death. These things only aid an Evolved Terraformar’s project. When assaulting humans, they prioritize. Anyone holding something gets picked first (weapons). Then there are the ones who are alone. The third is any injured person, and the fourth are females.
