Lets make a list of useless anime characters. Like actually useless characters that barely impact the plot/useless as a character for humor. Ill start it off with Chi Chi from DBZ, she literally does nothing. Even Piccolo would be a better mom than her.

Yeah, because giving birth (and raising and contributing to shape the personality) of the 2nd most important character in the series (at least in Z) does not have any relevance in the story at all.

Bebe from Madoka:Rebellion, a merch grab and a plot device of something that's more than laughable to be even called a plot.

Every single childhood friend that ends up losing in romance anime? :v

nah, for real, Ichinose Touko from Taboo Tatto... her whole character was just fanservice and lets not forget how stupid her death was

I refused to believe she died that way cause how stupid it was. I expected her to show up for more, but that was it sidnvirmsxnnvjdskm

OT: But Piccolo is already a better of a father than Goku, so Piccolo is a great father and a great mother.

Probably plot devices

Literally all background characters in CGDCT. Especially that one male background char that only had 1 sec worth of screentime! FFS Japan, CGDCT SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY MALE CHARACTER!


Also, parents should be female because male should not exist in CGDCT. SMH Japan! Do it right pls.

Tsumugi Kotobuki from K-ON!

I had to check for her name because I forgot her, she's perfectly erasable.

Shirou Emiya (in original FSN anime)

Bill goes to Saber. Everytime.

Cody (Digimon 02)

He's boring AF and have literally no place in this anime.

Nagisa (Clannad)

Because cry for everything and confuse yourself in a simple monologue waiting for a Deus Ex Machina appereance demonstrates how useful you are.

Everyone at Another

Completely useless cast. They did nothing but let the "curse" kill them.

I remember a particularly annoying dude from Kakegurui, the guy is supposed to be a relevant character or at least the anime hints that, but the dude does nothing, he is not interesting, he is just there appearing from time to time.

Edit: After researching a bit, the guy is called Suzui... he is listed as a main character :|

If his participation in the Hunter Exam and York city arcs wasn't enough to you, sorry to disappoint you, but you will have to bear another 60+ episodes if you want him to do something relevant again.

If i pick a decade-long anime, then it's gotta be Kunikida from Haruhi Suzumiya.
I mean, what's the point of him being there? At least Taniguchi and Tsuruya has their own importance to the story.
It's time to play the Game folks!

The whole point of the show is Shinji's battle with his demons/emotions, how can he be useless if he is the point of the show?

I second Sakura though, that was going to be my pick.

The big boobed abused girl from NGNL (Stephanie?) comes to mind.

The whiny horny cousin from Elfen Lied.
The whiny horny girl from De:Vadassy. (probably nobody watched it, just don't).

Leorio is a main cast, so sooner or later he will get his arc, just like kurapika and killua, if the hunter chairman election is not counted lol

Kyouko Sasagawa from Katekyo Hitman Reborn because she has no personality. And for a character that adds nothing to the plot and does nothing important or notable, she gets too much screen time.
