The boy who punched everything: Saitama

If you’re an anime fan, it’s impossible not to have heard of this character. One Punch Man is the main character of the anime series, who, as the name suggests, pierces with one punch. What makes Saitama such a popular anime character is that he is very, very strong. While Saitama’s fighting skills are excellent, he has infinite stamina. Although he always saves the world, it is forgotten, even if he looks a little confused about this situation, he does not push it too much because our character has no power with fame and stamps.

Funny high school teacher: Gojou Satoru

Gojou Satoru, the funny teacher of Jujutsu High in the Jujutsu Kaisen anime and the most powerful magician in the world, is a character who wears an eye patch all the time. What makes him such a popular anime character is his childlike personality. The reason for wearing the eye patch is that he sees curses, which are the main enemies of the anime series. Since our character is a very powerful mage, he sees all the curses. Oh, by the way, a little advice from me to you, don’t approach Satoru when he’s serious.

The first of the Human-Ghoul experiment: Kaneki Ken

The biggest reason why the Tokyo Ghoul manga is so popular is that it has a character like Kaneki Ken. What makes him a popular anime character is his angry and murderous disposition. His struggle on the dark roads was commendable. He is taken to the hospital on the brink of death when a woman (or rather ghoul) whom our character meets with the intention of being lovers attacks him. He transplants the organ of the woman he met into Kaneki’s body and the events begin.

How does someone with zero social life manage to be the coolest character?: Hachiman Hikigaya

In school anime, do all the main characters have to sit by the window? Hikigaya is a man who destroys this perception, he questions himself from time to time, he has many social deficiencies. What makes him a popular anime character is his mood. In other words, when we say air, we can say those dead eyes, attitudes, different obsessions. He has no friends and is treated like he doesn’t really exist by his classmates.

The character who goes on adventure after his brother: Mikasa Ackerman

Mikasa, another main character of Attack on Titan, an anime that will shake the industry forever, has stolen the hearts of many anime fans with her strong and brave nature, and of course her beauty. What makes him a popular character is the way he protects his half-brother Eren and his great love for him. In the anime, he stands out with his mature behavior that constantly balances the environment. Although his only goal was to live a peaceful, quiet and calm life with Eren, when Eren went and joined the Discovery League, he followed him and joined the Discovery League. He soon became one of the best soldiers.

The incarnation of brotherhood: Uchiha Itachi

If the name of the Naruto anime was not Naruto, we would probably remember Itachi, not Naruto. For this reason, he will be praised for his self-sacrifice, his brotherhood, or rather his humanity. Although he stole our hearts with the sacrifices he made, it is a bit sad that we realized this too late. You are a great person Itachi, I would argue that we should all be an Itachi in real life. Because our sacrifices are what make us who we are.

Tsundere queen: Makise Kurisu

Makise Kurisu, the beautiful female scientist of Steins Gate, tries to continue her father’s research by supporting her in her own way. When you watch him with Okabe, you will agree that he is a very popular character. She caught our attention with her cuteness.

Giant man: Eren Jaeger

Because of the pain and suffering experienced by Eren, another main character of the Attack on Titan anime, people find him close to them. Having an edgy and dark nature also makes him attractive. Eren is constantly wondering about the wall and the life behind the walls. When the only way to realize this dream, that is curiosity, is to join the Discovery League, he always joins when he is a child. Although Mikasa wanted to dissuade Eren from this dream, he could not be effective.

Samurai who drank strawberry milk and got high: Sakata Gintoki

Gintoki, the main character of the Gintama series, is a very high quality samurai. The comedy side of the anime series alone destroys this seriousness. Because of his white hair, they call him “Shiroyasha” or “White Devil”. He is actually very lazy. All he does is eat dessert and read that week’s Shounen Jump comics.

The undead: Guts

Nothing is normal in the life of Guts, who has a popularity that comes from the anime series Berserk, or rather Miura Kentarou’s Manga of Berserk manga. If you need to know that the strongest survive and the weak perish, I say watch Guts. Guts, a Black Swordsman, is a former mercenary who experiences constant internal conflict, which leads him to travel the world.

How will I become a great man?: Uzumaki Naruto

He is the main character of one of the anime known as “The Big Three”, namely Naruto. He is a friendly character who is left alone as soon as he is born, but never loses his joy. At first she is not loved at all, but later she is exposed to excessive love. As a kind of obsession, her mother said, “Dattebane!” adds. Here is Naruto “Dattebayo!” He constantly took his mother’s stubbornness, that is, his character, and his father’s handsomeness. His mother dies while he is the bearer of a monster, and his father seals that monster inside Naruto and becomes an orphan. Witness Naruto’s endless struggle for humanity.

He would risk anything for his brother: Edward Elric

Here is the character that comes to mind when you say effort, Edward Elric from the Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood series, although he may seem like a short and fussy person, he actually has a very mature personality. There is nothing he can’t do for his brother, you will understand when you watch it, there is nothing he hasn’t done. He is one of the youngest state alchemists. He is also an alchemy genius. Since his brother lost his body, he wants to return him to his original body.

Fools know everything: Okabe Rintarou

Okabe, one of the main characters of the Steins Gate anime, may seem like a clumsy, mad scientist wannabe, but in reality he is not at all. If you last about 12 episodes, Okabe will be one of your popular characters at the end of the series. Madness, insanity may be his codename. He invented useless gadgets, claimed that he was always on the phone with someone and that the organization was after him. This fun and genius personality displayed plenty of idiocy, but eventually became one of the great anime characters.

Killua Zoldyck, who takes on a completely different shape when the top is thrown away

Killua is one of the four main characters of the Hunter x Hunter anime series. Coming from the Zoldyck Family, he was trained to be an assassin when he was very young. A very mature and calm man, Killua is known for his extremely gentle demeanor. He is very fond of Gon, so if you treat him well, he may like you. He took the Hunter exam, although out of boredom he left the assassination and his family and fled. Although Killua is a good-hearted and decent person, she knows how to kill her opponent in seconds when her head is thrown.

Rewriting the word meaning of justice: Yagami Light

We came to Yagami Light from Death Note, known as “Kira”, the embodiment of intelligence and strategy. If you were to ask whether he was popular because of his ideology or because of his strategy, I would probably prefer to say both. He is an extremely active man who immediately finds and uses his opponent’s weak spot. We’re talking about a genius here. At a young age, he thinks that justice is not working properly. He studies a lot in his studies, he wants to distribute justice as necessary. An angel of death, who seems to hear him, sends a death notebook and events begin.

What to be afraid of when he laughs: Roronoa Zoro

Yes, we come to Zoro, the second captain of the Straw Hat Pirates from the One Piece series. He is popular for being one of the most loyal anime characters. He usually wears a bandana when fighting, but smiles if he is sure he will win the fight. He wants to be the best swordsman in the world with three swords in his mouth and in his hands. I guess we just have to say something like, don’t trust Zoro, his sense of direction is terrible.

There is another reason behind that hunched posture: L Lawliet

Lawliet, who is an excellent character with his features, has a very unusual sitting style. Our character usually sits hunched, but you will understand the main reason behind this better when you watch the anime. One of the great characters of the Death Note anime, Lawliet, the biggest effect on his popularity is that his weebs, anime manga followers, find him close to him. You’re a great character, Lawliet, but you have an unusual way of sitting.

King of pirates: Monkey D. Luffy

One of our oldest characters is third on the list. Luffy, himself the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates in the One Piece anime, started his journey alone, but now has one of the strongest pirate crews in the world. What makes him so popular is his emotions. Although his actions seem to have no purpose, he actually has only one goal, which is to become the pirate king of the world.

Slicing giants like tomatoes: Levi Ackerman

Here is that character who sits in the second place of the list by piercing with his two swords. Levi, one of the main characters of the Attack on Titan anime, is known as “Man’s Strongest Soldier”. Although he is known as such, what actually makes him so popular is his personality and attitudes in the story. His fans still call him “Captain Levi”. Levi, who holds the rank of captain of the Reconnaissance Squad, is the leader of the special operations unit. He is also quite meticulous and fights very well. He never smiles.

Real life plays chess: Lelouch Lamperouge

The Code Geass anime began airing in 2006. Since the day it was published, no character has been able to stand against Lelouch in terms of intelligence and intelligence. In other words, if we say that this character is the god of strategy, he will not grin at all. It has such a strategy that it impresses even the audience. What makes it so popular is the effect it has on viewers. They don’t call it the new name of sexiness for nothing.

We took a look at the list that anime fans have voted for years and created a database. There may be other popular characters that are not on the list, although they are determined by user votes.
