Top Ten Anime Characters That Deserve to Be Respected the Most

Based on ModernSpongeBobSucks' Top Ten Anime Characters That Deserve to Be Hated the Most, I made one about respecting the anime characters. There may be varied competition between several anime characters.
The Top Ten
1 Edward Elric - Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Elric, commonly nicknamed Ed, is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series and its adaptations created by Hiromu Arakawa.
2 Roy Mustang - Fullmetal Alchemist Roy Mustang is a fictional character from the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series and its adaptations created by Hiromu Arakawa.

I wish He had more fighting time. Only 3 times he Really let loose and in ALL of them there was something holding him back, enemy too weak/hurt. Every time he fighting with fire he steals the seen Lust, Envy, Army Its always memorable, and the main character always teases him for being "too weak"

He never wanted to take part in the Ishval war. His regret and dedication to make the world better again really makes him admirable.

Brilliant man with a plan

He looks badass.-LitSavage

3 Riza Hawkeye - Fullmetal Alchemist Riza Hawkeye is a fictional character from the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series and its adaptations created by Hiromu Arakawa.

A badass and asset to her team, she's deserves all the love she gets.

4 Spike Spiegel - Cowboy Bebop

Not only one of the most iconic anime characters, but one of the most iconic FICTIONAL characters ever created. Definitely a well written character.

I can't decide between Spike and Riza. They both are so brace, fearless, and loyal to a fault. But I love Spike's backstory too much, it gave his character so much depth and respect

See you space cowboy
Your gonna carry that weight
Bang

You're gonna carry that weight

5 Mikasa Ackerman - Attack on Titan Mikasa Ackerman is a fictional character in the manga and anime series Attack on Titan, also known as Shingeki no Kyojin in Japanese, created by Hajime Isayama. She accompanies the main protagonist Eren Jaeger. Her most notable feature is the red scarf that she wears. She is one of the most strongest ...read more.
6 Goku - Dragon Ball Z Son Goku (Kakarrot) is the main protagonist in Dragon Ball franchise created by Akira Toriyama in 1984. He has many abilities like, super strength, utilization of ki, flight, teleportation, super speed, enhanced reflexes, and Super Saiyan transformation that increase strength, speed, and durability. His real name was suppose to be Kakarrot because that's his Saiyan name, and he is the son of Badrock, and Gina. His brother was Raditz. When they sent Goku (Kakarrot) to Earth his grandfather Gohan took care of him. Later on Goku didn't realize it when he was a kid, but he killed his grandfather Gohan because it was a full moon, and Goku looked at it, so he turned into a giant ape.

Without him, today's whole shounen genre would't be like this, or worse, wouldn't have even existed. Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Fairy Tail, Black Cat,... wouldn't for sure ( as they were all inspired by DBZ and Goku ), and they're some of the most popular nowadays.

Best anime character of all time.

He deserved it

7 Akame - Akame ga Kill Akame, also known as Akame of the Demon Sword Murasame, is the titular deuteragonist, alongside Tatsumi, and lead anti-heroine of the manga series Akame ga Kill!, as well as the main protagonist of the prequel manga Akame ga Kill! Zero.

While she did kill, she didn't kill the innocent and only killed those who deserved to die, well, after joining Night Raid. She even realizes she would eventually get punished for her murders.

Akame is one of the best female she deserve to be number 1

Akame was doing the right thing

8 Saber - Fate/Stay Night Saber is a fictional character from the Japanese visual novel and anime series Fate/stay night by Type-Moon and its prequel, Fate/Zero, by Type-Moon and nitroplus. She is the the Saber-class Servant of Kiritsugu Emiya during the Fourth Holy Grail War in Fate/Zero and the Saber-class Servant of Shirou ...read more.
9 Monkey D. Luffy - One Piece Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy is a fictional character and the protagonist of the One Piece manga franchise created by Eiichiro Oda.

Luffy is my favorite protagonist. Seeing him disrespected is just- *Sigh*
*SPOILERS!*
Luffy is literally of the strongest people in the world. Like god! He has the POWER OF A GOD! Wow, you didn't know that? WATCH ONE PIECE! He may be dumb, but if he wasn't, he would be one of the strongest characters in all of anime. If one day Luffy realizes his true power, well his enemies are done for. Also, his Haki! Like, did you see that episode where he took like 50,000 fish men with just one glance? EXACTLY! He cares a lot for his nakama and would do anything to protect him. I swear if he keeps getting disrespected I will-

I hate it when people hate on him without watching One Piece just because he acts idiotic. Luffy has done a lot of great things, that made me respect him. He's the greatest protagonist ever

10 Jotaro Kujo - Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Jotaro Kujo is a fictional character from the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga series created by Hirohiko Araki and is the delinquent protagonist of Stardust Crusaders .

Whoa... that image of Jotaro Kujo is so badass. I think this is your best image yet, @SelfDestruct!

The Contenders
11 Tatsuya Shiba - The Irregular At Magic High School
12 L - Death Note L Lawliet, exclusively known by the mononym L, is a fictional character in the manga series Death Note, created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.
13 Lelouch vi Britannia - Code Geass Lelouch Lamperouge, whose real name is Lelouch vi Britannia, is the title character and protagonist of the Sunrise anime series Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.

He gave his life it to save the world, to create a new one where the opressed could live freely... and succeeded! The worst thing (and also the most admirable thing) is that he knew nobody would be aware of it, he would go down in history as a tyrant, when in reality they owe everything to him.

Watch the ending of Code Geass, then you'll understand why he is one of the best anime characters ever.

Who in the right mind would add a terrorist like him in the list? No wonder Charles zi Brittania, his own father, hated him!

All hail lelouch.

14 Shiroe - Log Horizon
15 Lenka Utsugi - God Eater
16 Naruto Uzumaki - Naruto Naruto Uzumaki is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Even though I don't watch Naruto, I gotta say. The dude deserves respect.

Naruto deserves more respect than Sasuke

17 Itachi Uchiha - Naruto Itachi Uchiha is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto.

How is he not on this list? He's the character who deserves the most respect of all! When you realize why he killed the entire Uchiha clan, you'll respect in a heartbeat.

18 Suzaku Kururugi - Code Geass Suzaku Kururugi is a fictional character in the Sunrise anime series Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.
19 Motoko Kusanagi - Ghost in the Shell Major Motoko Kusanagi is the main protagonist in Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell anime and manga series. She is a "full-body prosthesis" augmented-cybernetic human employed as the field commander of Public Security Section 9, a fictional law-enforcement division of the Japanese National Public ...read more.
20 Sanji - One Piece Vinsmoke Sanji, most commonly known by his moniker "Black Leg" Sanji, is a fictional character in the One Piece franchise created by Eiichiro Oda. He is the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates, as well as the former sous chef of the Baratie. He is also the third son of the Vinsmoke Family, thus making him ...read more.

He's the one who always rescues and saves people, time and again again. In nearly every arc he gets to save someone, nakama or stranger. When he fights it's nearly always to protect others. I respect him a lot for that.

21 Levi Ackerman - Attack on Titan Levi Ackerman is a fictional character in the manga and anime series Attack on Titan, also known as Shingeki no Kyojin in Japanese, created by Hajime Isayama. He accompanies the main protagonists in the second half of season 1. His most notable feature is being "Humanity's strongest".
22 Ash Ketchum - Pokemon Ash Ketchum, known as Satoshi in Japan, is a fictional main character in the Pokémon franchise owned by Nintendo. Ash is training to be a Pokemon Master, with his buddy Pikachu. Ash tries to stop the evil Team Rocket from stealing his Pikachu.

I'm sorry. This Pokemon Master, ahem, I mean, cough*Pokemon Loser*cough deserves respect? HELL NO.

So disrespected. All the time.

23 Meruem - Hunter x Hunter
24 Shu Ouma - Guilty Crown
25 Izuku Midoriya - My Hero Academia Izuku "Deku" Midoriya is a fictional character and the protagonist of My Hero Academia, a manga series written by Kohei Horikoshi.
