Their wild actions and magnetic charm make them unforgettable.
Some of the most interesting characters are those who are neither good nor bad. They are characters that you want to study more deeply in order to understand their desires, motives, and way of thinking.
1. Chainsaw Man (2022-...) – Power
Power, the charming yet hot-tempered demoness with red horns from Chainsaw Man, has captivated many viewers. She is a narcissistic and selfish girl who considers herself superior to others and does not value people or other demons.
So why do viewers love her? Despite her arrogant and complex nature, as well as her passion for cruel slaughter, she is not devoid of sincere compassion.
2. Attack on Titan (2013-2023) – Hange Zoë
Hange seems sweet and harmless, but she is a contradictory character. Her insane love for the titans is both terrifying and enchanting.
She is so consumed by her love for the titans that she wants to both dissect them for experiments and understand their feelings. She names them, talks to them, and tries to communicate with them. At the same time, she stabs them with spears to expose their weaknesses.
3. Tokyo Ghoul (2014) – Juuzou
Juuzou is an interesting and attractive madman. He sees the world differently than ordinary people do. He behaves like a wild animal deprived of love and warmth, yet he still desires to experience these feelings.
He has not lost trust in people, and thanks to a caring mentor, he channels his energy and aggression toward fighting criminal ghouls.
However, like many characters in this series, he cannot be classified as either positive or negative. Though contradictory, he is still very charismatic and has won over the viewers.
4. Code Geass (2006-2008) – Lelouch Lamperouge
At first glance, Lelouch appears to be an ordinary high school student who excels in his studies and participates in student council activities. He takes care of his younger sister, has fun with his friends… and plans a real coup.
Throughout the series, viewers see the duality of him. On the one hand, he is a talented, diligent student. On the other hand, he is the heir to the throne, a political hostage, and someone who wants to end the king's tyranny to avenge his mother's death.
The power that has befallen Lelouch fuels his arrogance and sense of superiority. He begins to exploit innocent people for his own benefit, gradually becoming the same kind of monster as his father, whom he despises.
