We've all seen countless fan-favorite anime characters lists and it's probably no surprise to anyone that Levi from Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) is almost always in the top 3. Despite not being the main character and sometimes having little to no screen time in parts of seasons, he remains extremely popular.
But he's not the only example, so let's talk about some more characters like that.
Although the first name that probably comes to your mind upon hearing about this anime is Gojo, he's not the only character more beloved by fans than Yuji. Nanami, Megumi, and Sukuna have all had their chances to shine. Need we remind you that seeing Nanami in the second opening of JJK was the highlight of many people's days? His appearance in episode 12 of the second season sent the entire Twitter community into an ecstatic state.
Bungou Stray Dogs
You may not even know the name of the main protagonist in the series, but we're confident you're aware of who Dazai is. This man was so popular at one point that people who had never seen the anime thought he was the main character. Just like in JJK, Bungou Stray Dogs offers more than one popular side character. Chuuya has also won so many hearts that we've lost count.
Fans even go as far as to say that every other character of this series is more enjoyable than Asta, but they especially point out Yami. They say he surpasses the limits of side characters with his stoic demeanor and badass vibe.
When speaking about side characters in this anime, fans mention Roy Mustang, who attracts fans with his narcissistic aura. Generosity is outdated, and sometimes viewers just enjoy someone who acts for the sake of their own good. Fans say that watching Roy's endeavors was much more entertaining than following the Elric brothers.
Have we mentioned that fans love antagonists? No? Well, here it is. Hisoka is another example of characters that are capable of overshining the main protagonist. We're sure you know exactly what he looks like even if you've never seen an episode of Hunter x Hunter. A sadistic, self-absorbed and excitedly ready to fight character – what's not to like?
It's not always about the protagonist.
