A misunderstood character in my eyes is someone who is considered by many anime fans as bad/good but is actually the complete opposite.

I think Itachi Uchiha is the most misunderstood anime character. He was no Hero at all, not even close to a hero. He is simply a psychopath.

he:


Who is in your opinion the most misunderstood anime character and why?

i would not say that itachi is misundertood,kishimoto really wants to portray itachi as this tragic figure that is trying his best to save others to detriment of himself,but he never manages to make his actions any consistent with that interpretation

On the warring era, if you kill a person then you're just a murderer. If you killed more than one, you are hailed as a hero,

you've jump too much logic.

itachi is not bad he is satan
sakura is useful and she is the strongest uchiha now
the uchiha part is a joke but the useful part is true
Since Koe no Katachi has a very high rating her on MAL, rated by nearly 100k users currently should we try to upvote the movie on the worlds largest database related to films? This movie only has around 4,5k votes at the moment. Let's all vote and make the rating higher?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5323662/

if we make it more popular it will raise more money so it will support the anime industry and make anime more popular between all the peoples since IMDb is not an anime site
so more quality anime will be made

...have you actually watched the show? In the context of the show he is not evil:
-he prevented a war between the Uchihas and the other guys (forgot the name)
-he sacrified himself so Sasuke would get his "revenge"
-his parents actually didn't mind dying and were proud of him

No his parents were disappointed but didn't want a ''deathmatch with his son'' Fugaku would destroy itachi's ass at that moment.

- If itachi never said anything they would kill the higher ups and make Fugaku/Itachi Hokage.
and sasuke would never want revenge.

- He didn't prevent a war. A war broke out anyway he did nothing just postponed it.

First of all you haven't seen every character that falls under that trope

you can call them whatever you want
but at least they have some redeeming qualities and they treat the mc nicely
unlike tsunderes that keeps treating him like trash and in the end he fall for them

Tsunderes have redeeming qualities too though since they will start to act nice to the mc once that harder outer shell is broken

the majority of them don't even have a reason to be violant
and past trauma is just a cliche reason to justify their shitty behavior

there is a lot of character with extremely harsh past and still they are very kind

Taiga Aisaka. And I'm really serious. Way too many people give her hell and exaggerate her violent streak. Are we even watching the same show?

One of these days, I'm gonna have to rewatch Toradora! for statistics. That way, I can slap cold hard numerical values onto people's faces.

I guess, by your logic, that Revy´s behaviour is not justified by her traumas.

There may be a lot of characters who are nice despite their traumas, but there is a hell of a lot more chance that they won´t be, and there is a lot of characters who are not nice because of their past experiences.

In the case of characters like revy guts their aggressive behaviour is justified

We was talking about tsunderes that treat people who love like a trash
What kind of logic is this shit ...

Shinji Ikari. People just lack empathy or really any understanding of context.

Makoto Itou. He fucked a lot of girls because he didn't know how to stop. He isn't a bad person like the rapist in the show.

Tatsuya Shiba, the anime did a complete disservice to his character as he's a introspective character in which the vast majority of his thoughts and feelings are expressed internally via monologue, in which the anime failed to include, so his character appeared to be a shell of his former self.

Jonouchi Katsuya/Joey Wheeler is just a comic relief character with no skill or substance. -what people think.

Actually- is a total badass. #readTheManga Nobody fucks with Jonouchi. Can fight 5 guys at once, uses comedy as stress relief and to ease tention. Doesn't get thrown around by whimpy computer nerds or dudes from America in the manga.

I thought Chidori from Full Metal Panic was ok, because the protagonist literally almost killed innocent people several times during the story and she punished him because he almost always had terrible logic in doing so.

Itachi's a pathetic character. I don't particularly dislike/hate him; he loves his little brother but he also caused him so much pain, suffering, and Sasuke turn out the way he is because of him. That's unforgivable.
