My was a female character from Yu-gi-oh Zexal named Kotori. In a card game anime, she not only doesn't duel( except one time when she was mind controlled) but also the only thing she does in the entire anime is stand on the side line and scream the MC name. I know Yu-gi-oh isn't very good when it come to female characters, but other main girls in the series atleast have an arc or atleast participate in dueling before they got demoted from the story. Kotori here have no arc, have nothing importance to contribute to the story, she only there to provide fanservice. You could cut her from the show and nothing will lost( except 1 episode where she got mind controlled).

Half the cast of Domestic na Kanojo, they are introduced to fill in and they don't anything else for the rest of that anime.

Touko from Taboo Tatto as her whole role is just fanservice and died on the most stupid way possible

I think Mari will be relevant in the future. In 4.0 something about her will be shown, you know.



But yeah she didn't do anything in both 2.0 and 3.0.

Every single romance anime that throws in an entirely new character in the final few episodes just to have a forced and completely unnecessary love triangle to extend the run time of the series by a couple of episodes.

I love One Piece, but there're tons of characters you could remove and it wouldn't change much.

Also shoutout to God Serena, pointless guy whose entire purpose was to hype up characters from whom we already knew that they are strong af.

Have u even read OT and NT and for your information he's one of the strongest Index character and his power if boring that's because they haven't even shown his real power.

Nagatoro is actually ''Sado'' and not really ''dere'' though. (A sadodere refers to a character who loves to toy with their love interest's emotions)

Nagatoro kinda counts as a Yandere. I recently read a thread on thsi site that talked about which dere was mostly hated and the main answer I saw on it was ''Yandere'' Do you also hate yanderes?

She's the reason I'm avoiding Toradora dispite all my friends recommending it. Gives me Zero no Tsukaima flashbacks. Still not sure why I watched that whole thing.

True, Fugo is the pillar that keeps JoJo's together. Without the almighty cheese boi we'd all be doomed.

Anne, the runaway girl from Stardust Crusaders.

she was a plot device used by araki to make things worse, in my opinion lmao
but her role was fullfilled by polnareff afterwards so it would take little effort to replace her anyways
still find her useless as well

People just cannot distinguish character role in the story and importance to the plot with likability. OP example is good though.

Just look at other post. Someone post about Touma even though he is the central point of everything that have been happening in the series. That's laughably bad observation skill there. Like him or not he is pivotal for the story and not replaceable.

Well, Tetsuo save Yuma that one time from Black Mist so he not that useless. Seriously they just should replace Kotori with Anna or even the cat girl since they have more impact on the story than Kotori non-existance one.
