The Top Ten
1 Bendy (Bendy and The Ink Machine) Bendy, occasionally referred to as "the Dancing Demon" is the titular antagonist of TheMeatly Games' indie horror game Bendy and the Ink Machine. He is an inky demon with a wide grin and a thin build, and he wears a bow tie on his chest.

Not trying to be salty here, but I seriously don't get why people think he's so powerful when he has ONLY 1 HP and his attack power is only 1 as well. I mean, he launches a bunch of bones at you at once, but each of them only does very little damage. And sure, he dodges, but still... He isn't as powerful as many claim him to be. Not to mention, he got killed by a kid, not with a bomb, not with a nuke, not with a machine gun, but with just a plain ol' knife.

Also, I feel like half of the people only like him because of Megalovania. It's a good soundtrack, don't get me wrong. I totally get we all have different opinions, but still...

3 Kirito (Sword Art Online) Kazuto Kirigaya is a fictional character who appears in the Sword Art Online series of light novels by Reki Kawahara.

Everyone loves him. He has a tragic backstory. He gets the girl. He has superpowers. He has only one flaw, and that's this rare rock thing. He is literally perfect. He's a Gary Stu.

She is annoying. I hate Monika. She ruined three girls' lives for what reason? To be with you. I would stay away at all costs.

I can't even flee from her! Everywhere you go - boom, dead!
