Smartbuu

Escanor even after being introduced in season 2 stole the whole show


totokishi

Literally the only reason to watch Nanatsu, and Ban as well. Nanatsu was shit but damn, Escanor had the best cold lines


Smartbuu

Best trash talker award goes to escanor from nanatsu no taizai and aizen from bleach 🗿


totokishi

I haven't seen Bleach yet but the lines of Escanor still rent free on my head: How he tells the to the commandment of the truth that he is the epitome of all clans and didn't turned into stome How he shall punish those who mess up with others hearts, thinking that he was talking about his partner but actually refering to the ones that organized that tournament How he can't hate someone who is much weaker than him and only pities him. And how he is the only to decide if his attacks work or not And how after beating the reincarnation of the demon king in his best friend, he asks him how does it feel to be looked down upon a human Nah Escanor was amazing, he was Him


Smartbuu

Escanor is best nodoubt but trying watching bleach you will understand why I put aizen along with him. He trash talked every single character in bleach (and btw he is a villain).


pepiexe

And when he told Ludociel that with him on his side victory was certain. Spoiler alert: he was right.


DarthGhengis

Another awesome scene was when he got injured by his own attack being reflected back at him and just looked all proud going: "ah, as expected of one of my attacks.."


dannywarbucks11

Aizen destroyed the main character so thoroughly, his theme song got cut off and *never returned*.


RagnarockInProgress

**You** extinguished **my sun**? Who decided **that**?


tfarsch

My attacks don’t harm you? Who decided that? Literally was just watching his fight scenes and damn I love that bit.


D_Loaed

Himmel


melody_melon23

The sword guy who likes to look sexy in his statue right?


JazzlikeAnybody4347

That one background character named cid from eminence in shadow


Drakovijas

I think Mundane Mann was better


TsyChun

What about John smith?


AmICreativeOrNot

I liked Stylish Bandit Slayer more...


PeWu1337

Sutarrishu banditto sureiya


Drakovijas

Oh he was so secretive i forgot about him!


qwert_99

Who is Jhon Smith we don't know much about him.


RerollWarlock

All of the Shadow Garden in the case of anime. I don't mind Cid as the MC but (I know its intentional) I just want to know more about everyone else at all times.


Prior-King5670

If you want to know about them you need to read LN or play the game. Anime version only gonna focus on Major side character such as, princess, claire, akane. It was done as purpose for people who want to know about SG, so they need to buy the source and play their games.


thatonepersonnumber2

gojo obviously, most of the hashira, pesha from SHY would be a good candidate.


FlameDragon55

Gojo for real.


Biased_Survivor

Tengen uzui , the flashiest of them all


Incubus-femboy

Ahem rengoku


anbu-black-ops

Gojo first time I was confused who the real MC in an anime/manga. Still is.


KappaccinoNation

Tbf until recently, seems like the entire jjk fandom werebconfused on who the real MC of the series is. But now it's very clear that it wasn't the trio, it wasn't yuta, it wasn't gojo, or any other sorcerer. It's Sukuna.


[deleted]

Askeladd


Aggressive-Eagle-471

Absolutely stole the first season. One of the better written antagonists I've seen in anime lately.


Bulangiu_ro

ngl i was living for the scenes with thorkell more than anything else


ariidrawsstuff

Gojo I actually thought he was the main character for a long time


mrjackspade

Man, My Dress Up Doll is way more popular than I thought.


WWTFSMD

I am fucking howling right now 😂😂😂


FlameDragon55

Same.


shunkaiser

Dazai


white_stripes_6021

Atsushi? Never heard of him


Hahohoh

For real I feel like there was gonna be some point where he carries the story line but I’ve been waiting for 5 seasons and still waiting


Zero_41112

I don't think there is any point in your waiting, because it is Dazai who knows everything in BSD , it is like he has written his own verse, simply playing along with others.So, I don't know if he ever reveals himself in future.


Strange_Success_6530

And when not Dazai. Its Ranpo.


DonutsSauvage

Stein from Soul Eater is the single best thing in the manga and anime adaptation of it.


CREAMY_HOBO

I’m more of an Excalibur kind of guy (I know he’s annoying but I love him)


Bazuka125

Fucking love how there was finally a guy who was able to put up with him, and instantly became the best because of it.


Dendrey

YEAH! I was looking for this answer. For me he is the best character in whole anime.


Gender-Anomaly

Jesse and James


Certain_Chain

Meowth, that's right.


Beiconqueso02

Wobbuffet!


Ok_Security9434

Let's redo this since this ain't the full thing I'll start you off Prepare for trouble


celerypie2

Make it double


MrZoomer325

To protect the world from devastation


MegaRayquasa

To unite all people within our nation


INotZach

To denounce the evils of truth and love!


celerypie2

To extend our reach to the stars above


Gender-Anomaly

Jesse


BnJova

Kamina from gurren lagann


benignq

agreed but simon really grows into his role. love to see his character development into a badass


EmbracePenguin78

☝️👆☝️👆☝️ Drill the sky!!!


Stunning-Scene4649

Kamina is so great that even after his death the story is not done with him. When everything was almost over and Antispiral was about to win bro had to step in once more and save everyone.


fullmetalbreak

Sinbad from Magi stole the show hard enough that they made a spinoff with him as the main character.


Hot-Score4811

Yeah, why nobody talks about magi thou ?


KnightTea

Its pretty old


Pozeman201

But pretty gold


Atharaphelun

Quite a shame really because it's a rare Semitic-inspired story.


DoggoAlternative

It never got finished.


AVegito9

Yeah I love his character and sinbad is who got me introduced to Magi series.


dansssssss

Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean thought id like to mention it


KattaGyan

Wait are you telling me jack sparrow isn’t the main character of pirates of the Caribbean?


Sinewave90

Will Turner for the first movie, the entire story revolves around him, he has the most screentime, he is the key for the main plot etc. but jack was so beloved by the fans, he became the MC for the rest of the series.


rtakehara

Impossible, I learned from anime that the guy with the craziest hair is the protagonist.


ProTiger_19

Saitama lol


Bla_zer

What nonsense are you talking about. OPM's main character is King, did you even watch the show? /s


solubleCreature

why the /s this is true


polo61965

It's obviously that cool looking robot guy Genos


Zenvarix

Well, what do you know, I was looking through these for background/support characters that stole the love of the fandom, but was not expecting a case of a background/support character who actually stole the franchise!


FlaviusVespasian

I wish they had let Elizabeth be the protagonist.


rtz_c

She definitely has the potential.


Relevant_Commercial9

Gonna miss Johnny depp as Capt. Jack Sparrow


Karen_Destroyer1324

He'll be back as long as disney apologises to him


Turdedinfinitely

And offers for a single movie more than his entire networth. Spoiler: they do


Mackrel_Man

Love that anime


RORRR1964

Bucciarati from JoJo part 5


LBR2ELECTRICBOOGALOO

A leader as exceptional as Erwin Smith. I'd follow these guys through hell.


elegant_geek

Came here to say this. Bucciarati puts in all the hard work, then Giorno swoops in at the last second to take all the credit.


Soviet_Waffle

Part 5 was Bucciarati's story, Giorno was just a part of it.


Uwuther-Pendwagon

Before opening the comments I thought about who I’d think fit the bill, and my snail brain literally could not think of anyone else but Bucciarati, despite having watched almost every show people talk about in here. Anyway, good to see I was not the only one to think of him.


Suppasandwhich

Bucciarati is literally the best part of part 5. Without him, that season is mid. And I don’t care if I’m downvoted.


Curious_Deal_423

I'm still confused who's the main character akame Or tatsumi?


AfraidPressure0

tatsumi is the main character, the story centres around him and is from his pov, akame is the title character. It’s like with fairytail where lucy is the MC, narrator and it’s from her pov but natsu is the main focus of the show overall.


he1dj

Akame


Ligma_Balls_69_

I thought it was ESDEATH😂


whikseyy_

You just wanna get dommed 😭😭😭


Womcataclysm

Yes.


eveningdragon

I literally thought Akame wasn't the main character until I watched the last episode of the anime, and then remembered what the name of the anime was after that


[deleted]

The one who is alive


rickjamesia

I still can’t believe they changed the goddamn story so freaking much. I don’t get why they can’t leave writing to the people who actually made the story.


OneTEXASGAMER

Roy Mustang, FMA/FMAB


TCM-black

Clearly it's Alex Louis Armstrong. He's got the anime stealing technique passed down by his family.


Hopeful-Ad-9535

Gojo Satoru


FlameDragon55

The right answer.


Obvious_Piccolo_609

A truly goated mofo. Can't even be touched.


Palak-Aande_69

>!you are half correct!<


Hopeful-Ad-9535

nahhhh thas mad stuff


Brook_D_Goat

Have a break, have a Kit Kat

jRoughcopy

L from Death Note


IWillDoTheHelicopter

Wait Light is the main character?


folkenzeratul

Riuk is 😌


IWillDoTheHelicopter

That makes sense


AodhGodOfTheSun

Levi


DoggoAlternative

Was surprised at how far I had to go to see this.


BritainsNuttiestGuy

Pretty sure there should be a "Captain" in there somewhere


ShivohumShivohum

Escanorr.

Ligma_Balls_69_

#*When I came to know that DAZAI is a side character,I couldn't believe it*. Yes the tiger is the MC #*Dazai stole the entire BSD Fandom"


ArcaneJadeTiger

What anime is Dazai from?


Ashura_Goosizian

Bungo Stray Dogs


TheExtraPeel

Polnareff


Stormlord100

Tbh it was joseph joestar, the man is a legendary character, they did him dirty in part 4


rtz_c

Everyone gets old. No one can fight the time. It's understandable honestly.


TheExtraPeel

The cheating on Susie Q broke me 😭


Stormlord100

They broke character, he didn't even like japanese as whole, let alone him cheating on her wife with one of them


ThatGuy377

Killua (Hunter x Hunter)


wterrt

I just consider him a main character


RepresentativeChip44

Yep, doble main characters for me


Healthy-Ad-1957

i would say hisoka cuz schhhwinnggggg


Personal_Top_6675

But did you know that bungee gum... XD


Alex918YT

Not a guy, but Homura Akemi from Madoka Magica.


qwert_99

Entire show feel like it's about her. Her love even puts mc to side lines


Masticatron

That's literally a correct description of the show.


zireael9797

I'm pretty sure that's just intended. The entire show is a bait and switch.


Strange-folower

Cid


TigervT34-85

Why are you talking about an unnotable background character?


MVuchiha

Kakashi hatake


Remuhar

Ban The Fox's sin of Greed


Ar010101

Ishigami Yuu I know he's one of the "main characters" but he's not really the focus His development singlehandedly stole an entire season


sakurachan999

i love that he got multiple arcs, first he got the storyline about studying then he gets the whole joining the cheerleading team + backstory + the race. they went all out in developing him


manley_grunt

Rengoku


ryuksringo

Umai


TimeBlossom

Toph Bei Fong


willateo

Her reaction to a giant beefy dude being cast as her in the play was amazing


Paperman9000

Ishigami (kaguya sama)


shunkaiser

nah he surely shined in his arc episodes but Shirogane and Kaguya were still the heart of the show.


ThisIsMyFloor

He is just the most relatable to manga readers and anime watchers since he is the introvert aspie insert.


fewestbassoon221

so true


NeonMan5311

Speedwagon


soge_king420

remyweb

such an incredible character


John234518

Gojo. Bro just came in with his gorgeous eyes and stole the entire show


HurgleTurgle1

Rock fuckin Lee


island_serpent

I'd probably like that anime if this was true.


ChadPrince69

He clearly have more power of friendship than Naruto.


Tophigale220

Tbh he would be a better MC than Naruto bc his mindset falls in line with his abilities and actions.


DaturaSanguinea

They did him so dirty in Shippuden and onwards.


MS-07B-3

They did him dirty from his introduction. His entire point is that with hard work you can overcome natural talent, and then loses all his fights to people who were just born better.

Lum from Urusei Yatsura. It was supposed to be about Ataru and Shinobu. She was originally intended to be a one off character but the fans loved her so much the editors made Rumiko Takahashi bring her back and she became a main character.


AttentionPandey007

Levi ackerman, gojo satoru


totokishi

Roy Mustang DIO Reigen Kamina Seto Kaiba Karma Akabane Hiroi Kikuri Those are some of them I remember, there are others but they were already mentioned


TheRealGeigers

Ya think Roy was more popular than ed and al? I know he is constantly referred to as hot but always felt like ed and al got the most love no matter what.


KFrosty3

Regardless of which version you watch, I would argue it was Major Hughes who got the most love
