Anime has a lot of characters that people seem to love and even has fan groups of these characters. Some of the most popular and loved characters are Levi, Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Light Yagami, Killua, Rintarou Okabe, and Naruto. Then there is another side of anime with some characters that anime lovers hate. FNN made a list with the top 15 most hated anime characters of all time, counting from 15 to 1.

#15 Akria Takaoka

Akria is the antagonist in the manga series, Assassination Classroom. He desperately had an obsession with watching the suffering of his opponents. He will sadistically beat/kill someone, just to assert his control, and further dominance by forcing others to recognize him as a father figure. He also has a habit of raising his tongue whenever he has the upper hand.

#14 Makoto Itou

Makoto Itou is often considered one of the most unpopular and hated protagonists in the medium of anime. In the anime series, School Days, he did things to earn hate. According to most lists, the things are sexual misconduct, backstabbing, being oblivious, being unknown of Seki Saionji’s feelings toward him, and making Seki uncomfortable by confessing what he thought about her.

#13 Near

Near is the younger brother of L in the series Death Note. After L’s death, Near began his investigation of the Kira case, gathering evidence over four years. Near is hated in Death Note simply because many fans believed he was a cheap carbon copy of L and lacks personality. He didn’t fit the standards that a lot of people had because they thought he would be just like his big brother L.

#12 Shinji

Shinji Ikari is from the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise created by Gainax. He is the franchise’s poster boy and protagonist. In the anime series of the same name, he is a young boy abandoned by his father Gendo. Most comes down to fans disliking how Shinji processes trauma in the anime.

#11 Mahito

Mahito is one of the primary characters & antagonists of Jujutsu Kaisen (JJK). He is a cursed spirit allied with Pseudo-Geto. His group’s ultimate goal is the eradication of humanity and the replacement of the population with cursed spirits. Mahito is one of the characters who is loved but hated once you finish watching the series. Most of the hate comes from the fact that the other villains in JJK let fans down by being pushovers. Mahito became too powerful because he got away with things that he really shouldn’t have gotten away with.

#10 Gabi Broun

Gabi Broun is from the series Attack On Titans and is a warrior candidate who is likely to inherit the Armored Titan power. Her hate comes from killing a beloved character in the series named Sasha. Gabi climbed up on an airship during a fight and sniped her. She has done more stuff but that is the top thing that got her the hate she has.

#9 Seryu Ubiquitous

Seryu Ubiquitous is one of the main antagonists in the series/manga, Akame Ga Kill. She was a member of the military team known as the Jaegers and a former member of the Imperial Guard. She is hated simply because she is the evilest character in the entire series, but not only that she killed Shelle, a beloved character. She comes off as innocent in the beginning but later she just becomes full-blown evil.

#8 Minoru Mineta

Minoru Mineta is from the series My Hero Academia and is the secondary protagonist in Class 1-A at U.A. High School training. Just like many other characters in My Hero, Minoru becomes a hero himself. Minoru is probably one of the most hated characters because he is disturbingly immature and perverted. The way that he shows attraction towards other characters is just straight-up creepy, weird, and uncomfortable to most fans.

#7 Nina Einstein

Nina-Einstein is a shy and quiet, yet maniacal student at Ashford Academy, and a member of the Student Council in the anime series Code Geass R2. She makes weapons and works for the government. In the series, Nina shows no remorse or constraint while using the weapons, to kill innocent classmates because of a personal grudge, and is an all-around racist who believes in the decimation of every other race that stands in her way.

#6 Danzo Shirmuna

Danzo Shirmuna was one of the Konohagakure elders and the rival of Hiruzen Sarutobi in Naruto. Danzo handled all of Konohagakure’s darker, but necessary operations, albeit with Hiruzen’s approval. In a lot of the Naruto episodes, he was responsible for most of the tragedies. Fans hated him the most for the pain he caused Itachi Uchiha. He forced Itachi to murder his entire clan.

#5 Nobuyuki Sugou

Sugou Nobuyuki is known as Fairy King Oberon. He is the main antagonist of Fairy Dance Arc at the end of the anime/manga known as Sword Art Online. He is both the arch-enemy and rival of Kirito, former director of RECTO Progress Inc, and the ruler of Alfhiem online. He is dubbed cruel and depraved to the point that a lot of people and fans had fun witnessing his downfall in the show.

#4 Rachel

Rachel is from the anime Tower Of God. She is an irregular who was best friends with Bam’s best and only friend. She has a problem when it comes to being jealous of everyone else, even her own one and only best friend. She has been jealous of Bam for having what she didn’t and she also doesn’t do anything for herself. One prime example of this is when she faked having to be in a wheelchair just to get people to show her more attention.

#3 Malty Melromarc (Myne)

Malty Melromarc is the primary antagonist of the series Rise Of The Shield Hero. She is the former first Princess of Melromarc who betrayed Naofumi Iwatani by lying about him sexually assaulting her. She basically wanted to be Princess again so badly that she made a claim against him that backfired in the long run.

#2 Sakura Haruno

Sakura Haruno is from Naruto along with Sasuke, Danzo, and Orochimaru. Sakura is depicted as a Kunoichi affiliated with Konohagakure and a part of Team 7, which consists of herself, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and their sensei Kakashi Hatake. Most people hate Sakura for how she swings back and forth between wanting to be independent and relying on others. It’s one of the most annoying tropes about her character that makes her seem completely helpless even though she should have all the tools by her side to fight for what she wants.

#1 Shou Tucker

Shou Tucker is from the anime, Fullmetal Alchemist and was referred to as Edward Elric by Colonel Roy Mustang in Chapter 5 when Fullmetal Alchemist required a bio-alchemist whose research notes might hold a clue to restoring his and Alphonse’s bodies. Even though Shou Tucker is a minor antagonist, he is arguably the evilest character in Fullmetal Alchemist, primarily due to his unethical experimentation with his family members while bragging about it.
