The Least Likable /Worst Lead Character List

These are the main and lead character that just: rub you the wrong way ; have too many or too severe character flaws; too cliched; or too bad to have significant appeal as a lead.
1 Rachel

Rachel

Honestly, I can’t see a damn thing worth a damn about her. She makes cockroaches look like beauty pageant winners as far as her disgustingly ugly ass soul and heart goes. She’s probably about the most vile, evil, dark, nasty witch bitch I ever seen in anime as a demonic putrid puss bucket that constantly rejects anything remotely decent. Not worth a damn.

2 Marrine KREISCHE

Marrine KREISCHE

This wicked witch surpasses them all, or she did until Rachel totally surpassed her..  She takes pleasure in torturing and murdering people.  Louise mostly hurts one other, but this evil bitch kills by the thousands.  And the reason why?  Because someone fell in love with her so she needs to kill the world.  She rejects love and accepts prostituting herself.  She rejects peace and embraces plunging the world into global bloody war.  There is nothing redeemable about her.  She had it all and threw it away then stepped on it and rubbed it into mud.  She whole heartedly deserves misery and a slow painful death.  What’s worse is she has no real valid reason to do ANY of it.  The event that started her treacherous rampage affected the very same people she attacks NOT the perpetrator but she’s too selfish and self centered to understand or care.

3 Tsukasa

Tsukasa

Tsukasa is about as close as you can get to a nonexistent character.  He might as well not be in the anime at all and that alone would make the show several times better.  Tsuksa is probably the single most boring uneventful dead weight character ever created or at least in the running.  There isn't much to say about him because frankly there isn't much to him.

He takes a ltop spot because he is the titular character and Zero has more than Louise so thankfully she isn't in it as frequently.

4 Louise Francoise LE BLANC DE LA VALLIERE

Louise Francoise LE BLANC DE LA VALLIERE

I hardly need to explain how the worst major anime character ever is here.  She shows gratitude with unwarranted abuse.  She's the worst kind of snooty privileged snob that makes villains look like heroes.  She never gives the audience reason to understand or like her.  The closest we get is some teasing early on but later her behavior makes it look like it is well deserved teasing or not enough.

5 Index

Index

She's one of the few main characters that don't belong in a series named for her.  Though she lends the series her name she is more like a single plot device of one story arc.  She had no lasting appeal or relevance to the story whatsoever.  Her interactions are more of a nuisance or a horrible sibling than either a major character or a love interest as is sometimes vaguely implied.  Other then a use for her memory she has no appeal or connection to the story or characters. She has no personality save a few examples of how simple minded she is other than her memory.  When she is onscreen I want to turn it off or fast forward past her.  She's not really even a good second to Mikasa as a love interest and she's a nun who stays that way despite showing little interest in being one or ever behaving as one and then for some inexplicable reason she stays behind after her story/ part in the series is over, like an annoying guest overstaying a welcome.

6 Slaine TROYARD

Slaine TROYARD

Slaine just has no character.  He is so empty and wishy washy he makes politicians look like saints.  Even Lu Bu didn't flip sides as often as he did, and Lu Bu was known for that.  When a character is so empty, even he doesn't know what side he will be on the next day he wakes up, there is no hope he will be more significant than a flea on the ass of a dog.  Well, maybe even random scribbles would give him the illusion of a character.

7 Orihime INOUE

Orihime INOUE

She is an enemy or on enemy's side as often as she isn't.  She is a bad character cause you never know what side she's on and somehow remains friends with her would be victims.  What is even worse is how easily and often she flips sides.  It is usually for a weak reason or a lie that isn't very convincing.

8 Alois TRANCY

Alois TRANCY

He might work as a lead character if either he wasn't in this series or Sabastian and his master never existed.  But he doesn't match the story as an effective lead character worth even getting to know since he starts in such a horrible way that will be a turn off for most viewers.

9 Sasuke UCHIHA

Sasuke UCHIHA

He is not alot different than Silver 'the sewer plug' mask is.  Like Silver he is dumb enough to think the best way to remember your traitorous relatives is to be an even bigger dick and cause even more harm to your own neighbors and extended family and friends.  Yes ladies and gentlemen, that is the supershit head Sasuke.  What bigger idiot could you be than the join the very forces that your family whom you honor fought against.  His family raised him and his brother to I presume be honorable but those lessons are lost on this schmuck, Sasuke.  Usually when you lose family members and make new friends and family you don't turn around and shove a shiv in their ass then run off making fun of them while joining the biggest douche bag on the cellblock but that's what genius *coughs* Sasuke does.

10 Nemuru KUSHINADA

Nemuru KUSHINADA

She is the biggest liar *coughs* I mean pity party wanna be lame excuses for horrendous acts ever in anime.  She makes the NAZIs at the Nuremburg trials look down right human.

11 Yuichiro HYAKUYA

Yuichiro HYAKUYA

Yuu is an arrogant selfish asshole.  He is belligerent and nearly a bully to anyone around him.  He never listens to nor truly respects any of his teammates or elders yet ends up costing his so called friends a heavy toll which wouldn't be truly terrible if he at least ever learned from his mistakes and didn't constantly repeat them but he does all that proving how irresponsible and undeserving of his power and role he is. For a lead to have so many disastrous flaws which cost so heavy of a price in a world where any losses are magnified many fold his character makes an awful main one.

12 Mirai KURIYAMA

Mirai KURIYAMA

Insane in the membrane murderous horrible ugly ass evil wench Mirai loves saying hi to new friends by trying to slice them to ribbons so their blood paints the surrounding walls.  And she thinks that somehow means you are best buds?  ROFL

13 Lilia REINOISE

Lilia REINOISE

She’s about as pleasant as burp vomit or swallowing vomit back down only, her existence has much less beneficial impact. What can you say about someone who knows the story but so willingly changes a sweet good girl character into a disgusting and disturbing insult to humanity?

14 Baobao FENG

Baobao FENG

She's just a shallow one dimensional sadistic character who even turns on allies.  Not much to say about such a bad unlikable character.  She looks good but other than her unwarranted and unwelcome sadism, she has no effective character or depth to speak of.

15 Malty S MELROMARC

Malty S MELROMARC

A bad character list without a woman that defines her nickname wouldn’t be complete. Her irrational reason to hate him is vague and undeserving but her behavior clearly depicts her as the very devil she insults Naofumi of being.  As for why I didn't put her at the top for those that I'm sure are wondering, it's because she's pretty obvious about it and it isn't very far into the anime that viewers know what she is.  Yes she's a despicable low life but her camouflage is thin and even the ignorantly blind characters, like her own father, realizes what a horrible person she is before too long.

16 Silvermask

Silvermask

Ummm.  So Mister Silver thinks that by betraying his country and slaughtering it's soldiers and citizens that somehow makes him a rightful king?  LOLLOLOLOL.  Is he the biggest idiot ever?  There are limits to how far you can go even after you become king but to totally rape your nation before you put on the crown is pretty balzy and stupid.  I would be flabberghasted if more than the criminals ever accepted a guy like him as king in his nation.

17 Saito HIRAGA

Saito HIRAGA

A lead?  Ha, he is such a wishy washy masochist it's nearly impossible to see him as a lead character.  Yet the story has us believing he isn't and doesn't like the crappy treatment he gets.  It's as if the anime itself can't make up it's mind about that.  Yet even if I accept him as he is, there is no consent or safety or sanity or reason to think it is a fetish or love play or any reason to either like or choose Louise over anyone else.

18 Yukina HIMERAGI

Yukina HIMERAGI

I know there some girls as twisted and screwed up as she is, but factor in the following conditions: she's not the only major girl character in the show; she is a fatal attraction level stalker; she is supposed to and claims to be only his observer yet acts more like an insane bodyguard or jealous housewife; she's in middle school yet her skills and experience are more like a 30 year old veteran of war; she constantly sets herself up for her own perversions projected onto the 4th progenitor then blames him for and unfairly acts like he is the pervert and not her; and more, but I will stop that list now.  These are all among the most boring repetitive cliche characteristics and makes her annoying and contradictory from her character background and supposed role in the show.

19 Kiritsugu EMIYA

Kiritsugu EMIYA

His series is supposedly good vs evil yet he is worse than the so-called bad guy.

20 Yuu TOSAKI

Yuu TOSAKI

This guy gives me the feeling he hates everyone for the sake of hating everyone.  He shows no love even for his so called sister.  He may have some beef with the enhanced lifeforms but is that really a fair reason to so hate and distrust them all unequivocally?  With so called, and I have to laugh to even call him one, good guys like him, who needs bad guys?

21 Yozora MIKAZUKI

Yozora MIKAZUKI

She is purely and simply a bully who can dish it out but not take it.  I'd say a spoiled madonna wanna be but that's an insult to spoiled rich girls and she is much worse.

22 Chao WIN

Chao WIN

Being a wimp is one thing but turning your back on people is beyond just the domain of gutless and into the realm of the depraved heartless souless types.

23 Aika TSUBE

Aika TSUBE

Eh, her overly beligerent demeanor is a crime wave waiting to happen.  If you lose your temper everytime someone even says something that can be taken to mean small chest and basically try to kill or actually kill them you are seroiusly headed down a hellish path.  On top of that her post mortem sudden jealous reaction to someone she had years to say I dunno, ANYTHING to is just as fake has her compassion.

24 Akane MISHIMA

Akane MISHIMA

Akane is another character of many, who tries to kill someone she eventually tries to date?  And the reason is as murky as her muddled mind.  She put herself into that danger from which she was saved but seriously, she tried to kill him and it didn't stop at the first time.  She is almost as aggressive and short tempered as Aika above.  Her tempertantrums are likely to get someone killed in the near future.

25 Lelouch LAMPEROUGE

Lelouch LAMPEROUGE

Lelouch is an IDIOT who pretended to be smart.  What?  Did he steal a script on how to act smart?  Well for a character who was supposedly built up on intellect to so easily royally fuck up in the worst way possible against the one person he wanted to harm the least means he is a complete boob and moron.  No one that smart would make such a huge ass and deadly mistake.  I mean he could have said 'oh could you comb my hair?'.  What was this moron thinking?  For a show that did such a job developing his 'intellectual' side to come literally out of left field with such a dimwit mistake totally undermines his character.

26 Mary SIOUX

Mary SIOUX

Technically, Mary is actually a pretty good character BUT I put her here because she's ostensibly and erroneously cast as a good guy character or perhaps a pseudo good guy character despite how reckless and destructive to friends and foes equally.  In fact, she's probably more harmful to the allies than Tanya on average and certainly more so during any of their fights as she's far to single minded to give a shot about anything.  Additionally, I have a grudge about misplacing blame.  Her father did because he was a murderous idiot and an unlawful invader who frankly more than deserved his fate of death.  He was part of an invading aggressor army who FIRST tried to kill Tanya, only to lose and eventually and deservedly get invaded and conquered themselves.  Then he escapes and joins another army to keep trying to kill her.  Mary is equally an idiot for putting stock into such a being then herself joining to try to kill a girl who was at first only defending herself and her nation.  Combine those two shitty traits and she makes a great evil bad guy who honestly makes Tanya look harmless by comparison since Tanya's goal is simply to live free and successfully.  Mary wants to kill over a man who basically asked fate to ensure his death and is perfectly willing to destroy the entire world to do so.

27 Issei HYOUDOU

Issei HYOUDOU

PANTIES.  BOOBS.  Well thats the character of Issei, since that is literally all he ever thinks about. It is hard to believe he can focus enough to fight for more than 5 minutes without someone tossing panties or a bra at him.

28 Zed

Zed

He spends most of the early anime being the biggest ass around. He never listens to anyone and constantly breaks laws and acts a general stand-offish, obnoxious, arrogant, nuisance to anyone around him. It is hard to understand why ANYONE would like an asshole like him.

29 Ichiya SUZAKU

Ichiya SUZAKU

Ichiya is the biggest douche in the show and is such an arrogant jackass you might actually want to see him fail and die in combat and even cheer for it.  That is not a good sign of a lead good guy character.

30 Kennosuke Tokisada OUMA

Kennosuke Tokisada OUMA

Ken is hmm well let's just say he makes a Bull in a China shop look delicate.  This guy has no class or subtilty and is well frankly super creepy.  He is supposed to be a good guy character but gives off vibes like a celebrity stalker on the verge of mass murder.

31 Kyouko SHIRAFUJI

Kyouko SHIRAFUJI

Kyouko is the laziest person I have ever seen in anime next to Tsukasa at number 1 on this list at least.  She somehow gets paid to do not only nothing but actually LESS than nothing.  She is about as useful and important to both the series and the restaurant as a turd on a commode.

32 Katsuki BAKUGO

Katsuki BAKUGO

Baku is a cocky arrrogant jackhole eyesore.  Somehow he thinks he is priveledged and deserves the world for simply having some kind of power without bothering to put work into it or consider anyone else has a shot.  He hates fairness and fair competition like the loser he is.  How someone like that could ever hope to be anything but a super villain is beyond me.

33 Haseo

Haseo

He is not quite as useless as Tsukasa above but he comes dam close and has the same kind of ahole attitude as Ichya Suzaku.

34 Keera L. GREENWOOD

Keera L. GREENWOOD

He has to be about the creepiest elf character ever. He’s a psychopathic fruitcake with delusions of grandeur and sickening narcissism. Only a freak like him would be ok brainwashing/hypnotizing women into mindless slaves to make rape easier.

35 Howard

Howard

Howard is a hopeless priveledged moron who causes way more harm than good by his stupidity.  He is kind of like Baku above but slightly less of a pure asshole since he does actually gradually improve in character.

36 Ouji

Ouji

He is the David Lynch of anime or a force so unhinged and nonsensical you don't know where to begin to make any sense of it.  In the first episode we are left with the impression he is one of two main characters in a story about a whacky alien and his friends but then it veers off on several seemingly unrelated trips to crazy town and totally loses any sense of a coherent story.  He is supposed to be a genius yet acts more like a slightly more schemingly successful Wile E. Coyote but less charming.

37 Yuji KAIDO

Yuji KAIDO

Yuji starts out wimpy even among wimps.  Sure he grows somewhat but still falls back on his wimpy nature enough to cause continuous problems without him learning much if anything from those mistakes.  He has a bit of a selfish streak whereby he tends to think of himself too much without really weighing all pros and cons.  It's almost worse that he sometimes gives hope to those in need without the ability or inevitable result to live up to them.

38 Momonga

Momonga

This isn’t to say he’s a bad character, he’s a bad main character. He isn’t a good guy despite leading viewers to believe he might be early on. My biggest issue as to why though is because he is turning into an NPC.

At the start of the story he is human and is reluctant to commit pointless or violent acts against humans. He isn’t even sure of himself with respect to his place and arrival in the world, but by season 3 he’s attacking humans and monsters alike left and right with little to no hesitation or remorse strongly suggesting he’s losing his individualism and personality or any thing that makes him unique or remotely human. I find issue with this because even by the main character’s own will at the beginning and therefore the story itself, he wanted to remain himself, but proved to be to weak of a person to resist simply following the flavor text of his character and race within context of the game the world came from. Simply put, the point of his story is kind of rendered DOA. He’s no longer the lead character but another npc.

He’s great as an npc or even a lead villain character but because his will, spirit, and individuality is dying, he no longer fits as a lead character especially when you consider the first episode. It makes little sense supposedly he had admin rights that’s how he changed his number too in to the fatal attraction stalker, but he could improve his looks, shape-shift, or avoid being unduly influenced by the game and racial description of his character type? Btw, if he can’t change shape how could he romance anyone he doesn’t have the flesh to get far.  

He’s being controlled or he is being overwritten by the game engine, so he’s at least very weak willed.

His npc transformation honestly is making me lose interest in the show, because as I said essentially by the early foundations principles, it undermines ts main character’s goal and main character himself.  If he is becoming an npc and losing his will to exert his own resolve and choices, that kind of defeats the whole point of him being summoned as he loses that status of being FROM another world.  It’s a very disappointing change in the plot.  Most of his choices were murky at worst early one and often misinterpreted or misunderstood by his followers and thus could be explained away and still fit with his original non npc character, but season 3, that changes.  Another issue is, characters are created and introduced just to get the redshirt treatment.

Icebeam, my fairness comment had nothing to do with the hero games.  I said it cause his arrogant attitude can’t accept the possibility of anyone being better than him at anything even if they are, thus he never gives them a fair chance to prove themselves against his pride.

 

Epimondas Aug 18, 2019

I don’t know if you read the full description on Yuuichirou, as he is a special case.  I both like and hate him, lol.  I like his growth, abilities, and his facade of caring but not his careless inhumane dismissal of life and collateral damage or his arrogant holier than though narcissistic attitude even when he’s so wrong he gets others hurt or killed.  Byw I think he’s also on my favorite character list and his show is among my favorites too.

YangireQueen Jun 6, 2019

Highkey agree on every single person on the list (except Yuuichirou, I like him, he’s cool).  Especially Sasuke.  He’s like Kurapika but with all the charm and good writing taken out imo.  

IceBeam13 May 18, 2019

As much as I hate Bakugou too, I have to disagree with you on the "He hates fairness" point. While he cares about winning alot, he prefers to fight his opponents at their fullest. Try rewatching the fight between Todoroki and Bakugou at the U.A. Sports Festival's Fighting Tournament. Instead of celebrating the victory, Bakugou was enraged that Todoroki was holding back. If Bakugou actually hates fairness, he would gladly take that victory.
