So I haven’t seen Boku No Hero yet, but a lot of times people is asked about who is the worst protagonist from all anime, Deku is the most popular one. Like I said, I haven’t really seen the anime ( I did saw a movie, but still think is not enough) so I can’t really talk about him.

In my opinion the worst protagonist from anime is Touya Sagami, from Orbital Children. Overall I didn’t enjoyed the story and him being the protagonist didn’t help at all. I felt him annoying, childish, kinda arrogant sometimes and edgy too.



So now tell me! Respectfully, in your own opinion. Who is the worst character of anime for you and why?

The answer's Naruto. I haven't seen it but I've read it. As to why, talk no Jutsu would be too easy of an answer. Dude's just a hella annoying yapper.

Easily takemichi, with his idiotic characteristics to the things he does, almost all his actions all negative. He dosent think straight and it actually made me wanna scream, deku is a close second since there both cry babies.

Fr. I mean I would say Deku is a better MC but he is mid. Wouldn’t say he is an F tier but he is no higher than C but Takemichi is straight F imo. Bro got no character development throughout the whole series

When we talk about who is the worst anime protagonist of all time, the only correct and objective answer is that Yellow Thing from Symphogear. Most people do not even know she exists, because series is quite niche and definitely not mainstream. But trust me, she makes Kirito look like Lelouch in comparison.

I read the question, thought about all the MCs I know, and even went to make sure I didn't miss anyone... and I can say that there is actually no main anime character that I hate.
I also have to say that I would personally love to have a friend like many anime MCs: Tanjirou (Demon Slayer), Izuku (Boku no Hero Academia), Itadori (Jujutsu Kaisen), Luffy (One Piece), Natsu (Fairy Tail), Baam (Kami no Tou/Tower of God), Naruto (Naruto/Naruto Shippuuden), Senkuu (Dr Stone), Eren (Attack on Titan), Sakura (Wind Breaker), Aqua (Oshi no Ko), Kafka (Kaijuu 8-gou) or even Takemichi (Tokyo Revengers), who is so disliked by others. I also really like Vash (Vash the Stampede), Gon (Hunter x Hunter) and Lelouch (Code Geass)... The fact is that almost none of them are my favorites in the titles they are in, but I honestly supported them and more or less adored them...
Nevertheless, I must admit that there are MCs who, although I actually liked them, sometimes irritated me terribly and after some time I got fed up with them because they simply... bored me. And these include Light (Death Note), Emma (Yakusoku no Neverland) and Edward (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood). I repeat, these are NOT bad characters, I liked them (especially Ed), but I just don't understand their phenomenon and I don't know why some people love them so much. Yes, I know this comes as a surprise to you, but I really prefer Takemichi to any of these three.
Oh, what I wouldn't give for each of the MCs I adore to be my friend/partner and fight for me like they did for those they valued, loved and protected!!
PS: I need to add that it was hard for me to like female protagonists, but recently it has changed a bit and I find that manga and anime creators are getting better and better at creating really nice ladies!

Oh I see, very interesting. Now that you mentioned it, I have been wanting to watch Code Geas. I’ll probably start watching next week.

Sorry, I forgot to mention Kirito (Sword Art Online). He's also one of the ones I liked initially, but he started to irritate me more and more. It's possible that Asuna has something to do with it, because omg... how I hate this girl! Because of her and little Yui(?), everything became a game of house and love story. Asuna on screen? Boredom. She was not there? It was pretty fun to watch. So yeah... I don't understand the SAO phenomenon either :(

I agree with your post. It’s very hard to hate on a protagonist, specially cause is made to be “the best”. A pattern that I have seen here on this forum is that people tend to hate on “crybaby” characters. I understand why they feel that way. Personally, I sometimes get annoyed by this type of characters, but I understand why they are that way.

I heard a bunch of times about how SAO’s first season was promising, but at the end the rest was a disappointment for a lot of people.

@Skylar-whoo, exactly! I know some of them cried a lot, but damn... wouldn't it be the same for us if we were in their place? Many of them had really hard lifes, difficult fights and traumas. It always amuses me that everyone who watched those anime claims they would do everything differently/better... but is that really the case? Most of these MCs wouldn't even have time to prepare for anything... but people love to hate them for every little thing... for example Takemichy for not practicing martial arts... but did he really have time for it? Time was always slipping through his fingers... He had to act differently, he simply had no other choice...
And I simply can empathize with these characters... and understand them fully <3

Kazuya (Rent a Girlfriend), Anos (Misfit of demon Ling academy), Kirito (SAO), Tanjiro (Demon Slayer) and some more.

Deku is slightly above average. He is way too overhated

Can you give more detail about why Tanjiro is one of the worst? In my opinion he is not bad. For me Tanjiro is kind of a generic teenager who sometimes gets afraid, but then he needs to save others so he becomes brave enough to protect them… and then yeah he cries about stuff, but that’s normal. People can get emotional over stuff like killing or getting near killed.

I totally agree with you. Some people get angry with the characters just because they think they can do it better. Most people with a fresh state of mind would know what to do, while someone who is saturated with emotions is just crying and struggling to even assimilate what’s happening.

@Doriss for some reason people hate when the main characters fear or cry, people call shinji from evangelion a coward because he fears disregarding how he stands up time and time again, they hate deku because he is emotional when it's the best thing about him. Characters who are allowed to fear, cry and be hurt are the best, most interesting and most relatable characters when done well

@Guilmon1, I fully agree with you. These are characters with whom you can identify and actually admire the fact that despite fear and tears, they still stand up and act in good faith <3
I haven't seen Evangelion (yet, I plan to do it tho!), but I see Deku the same way as you - him being so emotional is truly the best! <3

If you havn’t watched mha then how can you confidentally call deku a bad mc? He’s actually a really well written character and this is a common missconception that blind people make. Same with calling the show itself bad when it’s quite frankly the oppisite.

Gon Freeccs from the 2011 version. 1999 and Manga he's a bright pure hearted kid who smiles sometimes. Like a character with a balanced personality.
