I'm stuck at 14, and I love animes where one of the main characters is a big emo. I'm talking Sasuke, Kirito, Ichigo... Or even Tsukishima from Haikyuu (he's a good character but still an edgelord).

So in your opinion who is the edgiest of the edgelords? And who is someone you see as an emo but still consider them a good character?

Kirito is a based god and in no way edgy. Tbh I don't know how to define edgy but Shinn Asuka gives me edgy vibes for some reason.

There is nothing called edgelord in anime or manga. It is an insult created by fluff lovers just to dislike a certain character trait.

Seconding, thirding, fourthing, one hundred-ing Ken Kaneki. Boi is legit edgelord incarnate himself. It's like he's the edgelord messiah. The one true edgelord god. The edgelord of all edgelords.

no seriously fuck him

Hajime a edgelord? Well yes and no. He's a edgelord in a chunni way. In other words he's acting like a edgelord.

For a real edgelord. I guess Accelerator.

Guess white hair are an easy sign your a edgelord.

If we include only male characters, for me it would be a tie between Kaneki (patron saint of the edge) and Hachiman (from the non-action kind).

Now, if we also include female characters, the winner is, obviously, my girl Velvet (she's mainly from a videogame, but she appeared in one for two or three episodes, so...)

-Color palette where red and black predominate? Check
-Is driven by revenge? Check
-Wears impossibly revealing clothes for the sake of it? Check
-Has some belts around her body for the lulz? Check
-Face is always with a serious or indifferent expression? Check
-Wears a rugged, black cape? Check
-Possesses a big, red, demonic arm that can consume life itself? Check
-Uses bandages in some part of her body without being injured? Check
-Uses a wristblade as main weapon? Check
-Was a normal person that became cold and ruthless due a traumatic event? Check

Don't get me wrong, I love her a lot, but she's the very incarnation of edge.

Guess it's really unnoticeable because this one character is from one of the best anime of 2019 is definitely on the top of the list...... That nihilistic kid who for some reason wants a proper duel against his father's assailant. He's sitting between cringe and insanity, a perfect example of edgelord in my book.

Add in the great guts in there while we are at it, oh wait berserk is considered a great manga so we can't insult his character...

People use the word edgy on characters that they don't like, but if we go by the definition every single character that is normally series and has a pretty dark personality can be called edgy, so yeah add Guts to the mix.

I thought the point was to give good edgelord characters. He's totally an edgelord but he's just cringey and painful to see on screen.

I have to agree with Kaneki. Whenever I get some goodwill towards the show to maybe rewatch it and give another shot, I just remember his wailing, crying and complaining. The show takes itself so seriously while being so ridiculous that it accidentally cirlcles into being funny.

Honestly, I never thought "edgelord" could be be associated with complimentary word such as being a good trait. Sure, there's a charm to emo cool kids doing whatever the hell they want for their selfish desires but that edginess is not what constitute them as good characters. It's just a flawed phase in their progression and it's when they've overcome all they're inner turmoils and redeemed themselves that they become better.

Sadly, it was only the Askeladd saga for now so his spotlight has yet to come

He in no way is an edge lord. That's why the anime sucked. I don't want to be that guy , but manga Kaneki , at least in Tokyo Ghoul (not :re) wasn't an edgelord
Sadly , actual edgy teens who watch anime made him thier symbol.
Tokyo Ghoul ITSELF is edgy as fuck , but Kaneki the character isn't.

Do people here even know what edgelord means?
How in the flying fuck is Hachiman edgy? He developed a cynical personality cause of his past. And last time I checked being Cynical wasn't synonymous with being edgy.
Kaneki too , he has his edgy moments where he becomes the edgiest of edge , but his overall character is no where near being an edgelord.
Atleast I can sort of understand people who think Kaneki is edgy , but Hachiman?
Goddamn.

Edgy would be someone like Thorfinn from Vinland Saga. He is edgy to the point that he becomes cringy.
