Anime Characters That Didn't Deserve To Die
Anime. We love it. We laugh, we cry, and sometimes, we rage at the TV.
Especially when our favorite characters bite the dust. But some deaths just feel...wrong. Like the writers were playing favorites!
Let's dive into some anime characters who, frankly, deserved better. Get ready to disagree with me!
Must Read
The "Too Pure For This World" Squad
First up, let's talk about Maes Hughes from Fullmetal Alchemist. A family man. A loyal friend.
He was just too good! His death was a gut punch that still stings. Like, seriously, who kills a guy showing off pictures of his adorable daughter?
Then there's Kamina from Gurren Lagann. This dude was pure charisma. He inspired everyone around him.
His death, while impactful, felt like a cheap shot. He was the heart of the team! Simon needed him. We all needed him!
The "Sacrificed For Plot" Folks
Now, let's move on to the characters who died for the sake of the story. They became plot devices.
Take Neji Hyuga from Naruto. The guy was finally breaking free from his destiny! He was becoming a well-rounded character.
Then, bam! He dies to protect Naruto and Hinata. Convenient, but still a letdown. Couldn't he have lived and protected them?
And who can forget Portgas D. Ace from One Piece? This one's controversial, I know.
But hear me out! His death was a major turning point. It fueled Luffy's growth. Still, couldn't they have figured out another way to motivate our hero?
The "Just Plain Unfair" Departures
These are the characters who were robbed of their potential. The ones who deserved a happy ending.
Remember Isabella (Mama) from The Promised Neverland? She was complicated. A villain, but also a survivor.
She redeemed herself! Yet, her end felt abrupt. She deserved a chance to truly rebuild her life, maybe raise some demon orphans!
And what about Euphemia li Britannia from Code Geass? Another tragic figure.
She wanted peace. She wanted to bridge the gap between Britannia and Area 11. A cruel twist of fate sealed her doom. So unfair!
Let’s not forget Rengoku Kyoujurou from Demon Slayer! I think he went way too soon!
He was a great character that was kind and was inspiring. His death was just something I will never recover from.
Let's Be Real...
Look, death is a part of storytelling. It adds drama, stakes, and emotional depth.
But sometimes, it feels like the writers are just trying to break our hearts! They pick on the characters we love the most.
So, who do you think didn't deserve to die? Let's commiserate in the comments. Prepare for some unpopular opinions!
After all, that's what makes anime so engaging. The characters feel real. Their deaths affect us. Even if we disagree with them!
