Which character in anime you can't help but admire how manipulative they are?


For me it definitely should be Kiyotaka Ayanokōji from Classroom of the Elite

Either Aizen or Ayanokoji. I just can't dislike them, it's impossible.

Not sure if he's the *best* but definitely worth mentioning, Izaya Orihara from Durarara.

I'm gonna pick Griffith. So many people fell prey to his "charisma".

It's not Johann from Monster for sure. Manipulating 10 years kid, a sick-drunk-old-man and some pathetic villagers isn't what manipulation is.


It is Johan. He has made people commit suicide. Turned people into killers. And apparently even engineered the massacre at kinderheim, I believe. He is a phantom...a ghost....You hear about him...See glimpses of him. Hardly any traces in the system. Scarier than the bogeyman. He is like Light, but deadlier. Give him the Death Note, and he'd be untouchable.

Sounds very funny 🥱.

I already mentioned the things which we saw about Johan in anime/manga in my first post.


big difference. the entire massacre of like a school? yeah... that's nuts. some battle royale shit. you made it seem underwhelming.

I think i need to start from your first post.

Okay lets see...

Which PPL ? How? Is it possible ? What tricks he use? Did he go and say "hey! please get manipulated" and PPL get?

And apparently even engineered the massacre at kinderheim, I believe.

Again how? How is it even possible for 12 year to do so?

He is a phantom...a ghost....You hear about him...See glimpses of him.Hardly any traces in the system. Scarier than the bogeyman. He is like Light, but deadlier.
Sounds cool on paper ,but in real (type of story moster is) he will fail miserably.

Give him the Death Note, and he'd be untouchable.
He was already, thanks to Urasawa's plot armour protecting him in entire anime.


Sis, I didn't make the rules. That's Johan. A super hypergenius , with insane social skills, who can make people go insane. One person said it best. If Johan met Light, he might convince Light to kill himself. Johan has an angelic face, but he is a monster. Then again, in the anime, it was open to interpretation about who the real Monster was, but I won't get into that. We don't need to see how he did the manipulation. We just believe. I know that sounds lazy...and you are right...In the real world, it wouldn't be possible for a man to get away with so much...without leaving any traces...But hey...Anime.

Hmmmm.... Manipulative by using truth/lies other tricks I think it would be:
Aizen Sousuke from Bleach
Sora from No game No life
Riku from No game No life zero (6th volume ln version is quite better)
Wein from Tensai Ouji

So far those are all characters which comes to my mind right now

Must be Johan for sure, his manipulative power is kinda like Diavolo's King Crimson, everyone knows it's powerful but no one actually knows how it works

Easily Johan Liebert from Monster. If we weren't factoring him in, I'd go with Berserk's Griffith for a second option.

Probably Light because the only one to not fall for his lies was L and even he needed a fair amount of time to confirm his speculations. The scene where Light manipulated Naomi was impressive.

Light is definitely up there, and perhaps Ayanokouji too. I haven't watched Monster yet, but Johan seems like someone of the caliber of Light.

Technically, Lawrence and Holo (Ookami to Koushinryou) are quite good when it comes to manipulating the market...

On a more serious note, I like Light Yagami (Death Note), Gendou Ikari (Neon Genesis Evangelion) and Ai Magase (Babylon).
