| In anime , i would say that Sasuke Uchiha has the greatest character development . He goes from being a criminal wanted by the 5 nations to Konoha's shadow hokage . |
Leina Vance went from an introverted closed-off spoiled rich girl to an absolute self-made heroine queen that everyone around her loves and respects and this to me is the greatest character development in all of anime.  |
| For me, That would undoubtedly be Homura!!! From a weakling to become the devil herself!!! Such a great rise to darkness!!! |
" Kindness can sometimes lead you to trouble. "  |
My queen, Youko Nakajima. Her character growth is amazing and so inspirational. |
 |
| i'm gonna say rudeus from MT. there might be others but i can't remember at the moment. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Hyakkimaru from Dororo, for reasons I can't really go into without a lot of spoilers. Also Yuri Katsuki from Yuri on Ice, and to a somewhat lesser extent, Appare Sorano from Appare-Ranman! |
| オタク？ 私はそのことが私がかわいいと思う！ |
| Definitely Subaru and EMT from rezero. If you've seen/read arc4 then you know why. |

I would say Johnny Joestar once Steel Ball Run gets an anime adaptation. To directly quote him, the whole story of Steel Ball Run is "The tale of me starting to walk. Not in the physical sense, but in an adolescence to adulthood sort of way." Johnny was left in a wheelchair due to karma hitting him for his ego getting too big when he was a famous jockey, when he is shot while on a date with a girl after cutting someone in line. He pretty much lost everything until he met Gyro and joined the race, in where he made a connection with someone that changed his life for the better teaching him not only the tools he needed to survive the craziness happening in the race but giving him someone who truly cared about him for who he was and not for his status. I think by the end of the story his physical and personal growth is very evident, and it really made me happy to see him brought up in Jojolion where we see a little bit of what happened to him after his adventure ended. I can't wait to see his story animated in a few years' time.  |

| Probably thorfinn, but i need to watch/read vinland saga to be sure. |
| . |
| Bakugou Katsuki. If you've read the manga you get it. |
 |
| Realistically I'd say it's Taiga Aisaka, she goes from hopeless violent coomer to being the perfect wife material. |
| I think thorfinn from vinland saga personally |
 |

|
| Here to say Kageyama "Mobu" Shigeo first. Oh, Inspector Lunge and Eva Heinemann as well. |

| Objectively, it's Ken Kaneki He has split personality and each of those personalities develop in it's own unique way Anteiku Kaneki accepts his Monster side to protect his loved ones, Post-Anteiku Kaneki realizes the problem with getting stronger, Haise overcomes his weakness to confront his past, Black Reaper learns that it's useless to die a heroic death and One Eyed King realizes the True Duty and Responsibility of a Ruler. His main development was when he initially believed that the WORLD IS WRONG and the end of the series he says, "THE WORLD IS JUST" His entire Journey is so complex he is by far the only FIVE DIMENSIONAL CHARACTER in all of fiction Even the secondary Characters such as Touka, Tsukiyama, Hinami, Urie, Saiko, Suzuya and probably 80 percent of Tokyo Ghoul's Secondary cast has more development than every single Shounen Character you can ever think of However, it's difficult to choose any Anime Character from any of my favorites We have Shinichi from Parasyte, Homura from Madoka Magica, Phos from Houseki no Kuni, Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell, every character in Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Thorfinn from Vinland Saga, the two brothers from Space Brothers etc I SIMPLY CAN'T CHOOSE because all my favorites are Objective Masterpieces |
| If you want to reply to my posts, come up with valid arguments instead of ad hominem HIGHER LEVEL THINKERS ONLY |
| I'd say Gon Freecss from HxH and Yabuki Joe from Ashita no Joe. Especially the latter one, which I came to really like when watching the anime (after having read the manga once). His evolution and how he becomes mature is really impressive and seems pretty natural to see. |
| Kiriyama Rei from Sangatsu no Lion and Ikari Shinji |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |

| Lelouch CC and Suzaku in Code Geass. Beato in Umineko They really grow with the show and become much more experienced people by the end. |

Did I miss something?". To me it seemed too sudden, as if someone had flipped a switch rather than gradual character growth. Kiriyama Rei from Sangatsu no Lion |
|
| Now that Vinland Saga season 2 has started airing, I can confidently say that by the end of the season Thorfinn would be one of the most well developed character in all of anime. |
 |
| Personally, I really like the character development of Yona from Akatsuki no Yona. She goes from a sheltered and spoiled know-nothing princess to a young woman having to face the reality of what kind of a failure of a ruler her father was in how he let their kingdom down as whole all the while missing him while on the run and trying to survive. She becomes a stronger person and one who wouldn't fail her kingdom in the same way in which her father did were she to sit on the throne. However, Yona becomes more focused on helping the kingdom that is suffering from her fathers neglect rather than attempting to take back her rightful place on the throne from her cousin who assassinated her father because he was trying to save the kingdom (even throwing away the relationships he had with his childhood friends Hak and Yona to do what he saw as his duty and save the people. There is really fabulous character growth in so many characters in this series though the manga goes more in depth and expands upon that growth so I highly recommend it). |
 |
| ^ Yona I agree too Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi from Cross Ange is my answer |

| thorfin for me any day of the week. the author got a guts for giving him such a huge development that cause a big change on the story itself. |
| still having great time with my stuff |
In my mere opinion, Jolyne from Jojo has great character development. |
 |
| I would say Rudeus Greyrat and Katsuki Bakugou. |
 |
| Umm... It's really hard to say. But I would say it's Johnny. He is ego centric piece of crap and got into wheelchair because of it. After he met Gyro, he slowly mature as story go by and he's pretty much my fav protagonist soo far. |
| I would say its Sakata gintoki His character progression is remarkable LSSJ_Gaming said: I would say Johnny Joestar once Steel Ball Run gets an anime adaptation.

 |
| For real! Homura's simply awesome. |
| I really liked the Phos character development in season 1 kinda like Kaneki but mature like a real person. |
