| post 1: dont confuse that with useless pls post 2: well that guy is pretty useless went just as planned XD |
| Ging Freeccs. The show started out being about a boy searching for his father yet it ended up not having anything to do with that. |
This mf from Kakegurui. He's supposed to be a main, but he may as well have not even existed. Should have given all his screen time to someone else lol |
 |
| Lisanna from Fairy Tail - she had some impact when it was assumed she was dead but after she returned, she might as well had stayed 'dead' since she does little of importance |
| I'm not a fan of Inuyasha's wolf character. I thought he was pointless from the start, and I've completely forgotten if he ever used the power he discovered in The Final Act. |
| その目だれの目？ |
| Does anyone remember Misa Amane from Death Note? Yeah me neither. |
 |
Don't know about pointless characters but I know about pointy ones |
| Any character from Kimetsu no Yaiba, but that Zenitsu, man... Why the fuck does that character exists? He doesn't add anything to the story and his past is generic af, a piece of shit who is trained by a great master gets hit by a lightning and gets a power, great development, just like everyone else on that piece of garbage show. |
 |
| Those kids in Log Horizon, the show would be so much better without them. |
 IT'S NEVER OGRE |
AwokenStroken said: That'd have to be Sakura from NARUTO, the ONLY thing she does the ENTIRE series is defeat Sasori... That is simply not true. Don't spread wrong information. |
| Sure, sure sakura she was an annoying character. but tenten has done literally NOTHING in the entire series, why even add her as a character if she doesn't get with anyone in boruto or have a successful job. she's so pointless y'all forgot she was pointless AHAH el psy kongroo |

Adimus_prime said: Does anyone remember Misa Amane from Death Note? Yeah me neither. I guess her main role was to have a female character that is rather pretty and that will add something to the plot that would be very important, but not to the point of making her one of the main characters. While I find her more interesting than that redhead L-wannabe (whose name I don't even remember, lol), her role in the story was quite weird and ruined its seriousness a bit with her general attitude towards Light. |
| Every comic relief characters are pointless. |

| If I stick to Naruto, then two characters comes to my mind: Tenten and Karin. Tenten just begs for screen-time, can be seen in fillers, does nothing to contribute to the main story. Karin is seen for a few episodes with Sasuke, then vanished into thin air. Does nothing except whining and flirting with Sasuke. In future diary, the other MC, Yuki is a character, I believe is a pointless character. Of course, the spotlight was on Yuno because she did what she had to. Yuki just whined and cried and always stood behind Yuno while she did her deeds. I don't know why Yuno was in love with this guy. This character existed just for the sake of Yuno. Lastly, another character is Lisa from Zankyou no Terror. Yes, I forgot that this character existed. That anime run on the strength of 9 and 12. If Lisa never existed in the first place, it won't make much of a difference. |
| The bench players of Shohoku High in Slam Dunk. They're there but also aren't there. |
| Any characters from Attack on Titan who were killed one minute after their introduction. Probably most useless character introductions ever. |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
Even Sokka from Avatar? He's technically not from an anime, but he's the main comic relief character in that show... as well as being the boomerang guy main strategist for Team Avatar. He is literally the opposite of a pointless character. Besides, he taught everyone the greatest piece of knowledge to ever be graced on this earth... |

| Lisanna from fairy tail. It was better when she was dead. |
 |
| in fukumenkei noise there a character Gummi who's a pop star, everyone likes him, I mean everyone, it's some sorta celeb who adores our main band (in no hurry), they talk about him like he matters but in the end, after 12 anime episodes and 16 manga volumes, he has almost 8-10 dialogue lines. What was the point of hyping him so much??? |

| As long as they serve their meant purpose for which they were created as insignificant as it may be, you can't call them pointless. Yes, even those characters who die a minute after they're introduced. Even they're not pointless. |

| その目だれの目？ |
| The first ones that come to mind are Iroha and Nyunyu from Flip Flappers. Iroha has been introduced as a rather important, mysterious character, she even had an entire episode covering her backstory, and then she disappeared. She sometimes made a little cameo and sometimes was mentioned by the main characters because of something that apparently was important yet never dealt with, but she didn't play any actual purpose. I don't know why she exists. Her backstory episode was great, but for the rest I don't know why she was even created. And Nyunyu was introduced at some point as if she was a big deal, she's been a not-so-small deal for like, 2 minutes, and then she became completely irrelevant. She could've just not been there, it would've been the exact same. |

| Klein from SAO comes to mind. Don't get me wrong, he's designed to be likeable and he has a good friendship with the rest of the cast and I don't mind Kirito having a dude in his otherwise all girl harem. But every time he's on screen he just feels... out of place? Like what are you doing here, man. He provides some good comic relief, but storywise, I just don't get him. |

| So people in this thread picking characters they don't like and being blind about their essentiality to the plot. Well okay. I mean, I don't like Misa Amane. But she does things. She has a role. She advances the storyline in certain directions. That's the opposite of a pointless character. |
Attackonfiller said: This mf from Kakegurui. He's supposed to be a main, but he may as well have not even existed. Should have given all his screen time to someone else lol I'll second that. You could remove this guy from the show and nothing will change. In second season he literally does not exist despite still officially being MC. |

She could've just not been there, it would've been the exact same. Good answer. What do you think the writers had in mind for Irroha that they ended up not using after all? It looked to me like they initially wanted to provide her quite a big amount of development after the backstory episode, through the issue that has been adressed by Cocona and Papika : how she seemed to have drastically changed after they modified her past and if that was okay or not given that she was happier now. I thought the message was ultimately going to be about how trauma plays a role in our life just as much as everything else and the best thing to do is to accept it rather than deny it, but ultimately they just left her like that. I heard that they apparently changed the show's scenario halfway so that would explain what happened with Iroha. |

| Balgo Parks from Burn the witch seriously it's a typical self-insert of anime in a movie where the two girls are the true protagonists. |
