Let's talk anime names! Specifically, names that begin with the letter S. Prepare yourself for some possibly controversial opinions.
The "S" Squad: A Quick Rundown
S names in anime can be anything. From sweet and innocent to downright terrifying. So, buckle up!
The Shonen Staples
First, we have the shonen heroes. Think Saitama from One-Punch Man. Is he cool? Of course. Is his name the most creative? Debatable.
Must Read
Then there's Sasuke from Naruto. Ugh, Sasuke. My "unpopular" opinion: he spends way too much time moping.
Let’s not forget Son Goku (or just Goku!) from Dragon Ball. Classic! Can't go wrong with the OG. Although, maybe he needs a new outfit.
The Spunky Sidekicks
Moving on to sidekicks! We've got Sakura (also from Naruto). Honestly, her character development... well, it's a topic for another day.

Consider Sasha Braus from Attack on Titan. Potato girl! Instantly lovable. We miss her dearly, rest in peace.
And who could forget Sango from Inuyasha? A total badass demon slayer! Now that's a strong "S" name done right.
The Sinister "S" Villains
Time for the bad guys (and girls)! Names starting with S don’t mess around in this category.

Think Sosuke Aizen from Bleach. Smooth, manipulative, and oh-so-stylish. You just love to hate him, don’t you?
And how about Shigaraki Tomura from My Hero Academia? Talk about a creepy villain. The hand thing? Still gives me nightmares.
Let’s not forget Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII (he counts, right?!). He set the bar for anime villainy incredibly high.
The Sophisticated (and Strange)
Some S names just ooze sophistication. Or, you know, weirdness. It depends on the anime, really.

Sebastian Michaelis from Black Butler. A demon butler? Yes, please! So polite, yet so deadly. Peak anime.
Then there's Shinji Ikari from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Oh, Shinji. Existential angst personified. Get in the robot!
Sailor Saturn from Sailor Moon. Creepy and cool! Who wouldn't want to wield a scythe that can destroy the world? Very chic.

"S" Names: Yay or Nay?
So, what’s the verdict on S names in anime? Pretty solid, if you ask me. They run the gamut of personalities and power levels.
Some are iconic, some are irritating, and some are just plain fun. But hey, that's anime for you! You can never tell!
Of course, this is all just my opinion. Feel free to disagree! After all, what's anime without a little friendly debate?
