Top 10 Craziest Anime Characters

Some anime characters are amazing, some are despicable, and some are just plain crazy. Here are 10 of the craziest characters in anime.

The Top Ten

Yuno Gasai (Mirai Nikki)

Yuno Gasai is the main female protagonist of the anime series Mirai Nikki, also known as Future Diary, which premiered on October 10, 2011. She is the second diary owner and possesses the Diary of Future Love, which allows her to predict the actions of her love interest, Yukiteru Amano. Yuno is a classic... read more

Let's face it - Yuno is someone none of us want to meet in real life. At first, you think she's just a cute girl who has a crush on Yuki. Then, you see that she is willing to kill anyone just for Yuki, no matter if he wants her to or not. Eventually, she starts getting crazier and crazier, even almost killing Yuki at certain points. There's a reason she's called The Yandere Queen.

Yuno Gasai is a girl who faces fear and never, NEVER lets anyone or anything get in her way. She is an amazingly cute girl who can turn on you in the blink of an eye. Look out!
Hisoka Morow (Hunter x Hunter)

This guy is weird. Very, very weird.
He made me feel very uncomfortable in the first and third arcs, and I wish Gon and Killua had never seen him shower...

Ah, Hisoka is without a doubt the craziest, most entertaining character ever! Like, seriously, there is no character like him! He is one of a kind, alright.

The guy gets orgasms off of a kid hitting him. Seriously this is the only anime character to legitimately make me uncomfortable.
Karma Akabane (Assassination Classroom)

Karma Akabane is a central character in the anime and manga series Assassination Classroom. He is a student in Korosensei's Class 3-E at Kunugigaoka Junior High School, known for his intelligence, unpredictability, and combat skills. Previously suspended for violent behavior, he eventually becomes one... read more

Karma loves beating people up and getting into fights. He is a sadist who gets joy from torturing his victims with damn wasabi and mustard and got way too excited over the chance to kill a teacher. The guy tried to kill HIMSELF just to get an advantage over Korosensei! I love him, and he's insane.

Now, this is sadism all rolled up into one hot mess. Good-looking, crazy, and certainly one with the fans...

Karma is so crazy, sadistic, and awesome!
Nina Einstein (Code Geass)

Nina Einstein is a fictional character in the anime series Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, which was produced by Sunrise. She is a student at Ashford Academy and a member of the student council. Her character plays a significant role in the series' political and emotional storylines.

God, I hate this character. Her love for the princess makes her kill thousands of people just so she can get to Zero and kill him. She goes insane for a completely stupid reason. Oh, and don't even get me started on the table. It's just messed up.

Look at that ugly face. Need I say more?
Shion Sonozaki (Higurashi: When They Cry)

I haven't actually seen Higurashi, so Shion being so low is due to that. However, her concept does make her sound insane. She can easily switch between herself and her sister, Mion, so you'll never know if it's actually her. I've also seen the scene with her and Satoko, so that influenced my choice.

Shion. In Watanagashi-Hen and Meakashi-Hen, Shion's love interest, Satoshi, disappeared, and Shion went insane. She killed Rika Furude, Satoko Hojo, Satoshi, her own twin sister (whom he asked her to look after), her grandmother, and her own younger (in the manga only) twin sister, Mion. All while laughing gleefully. And then she kills Keiichi because she thinks it's unfair that Mion's love interest survived while her love, Satoshi, died.
Ladd Russo (Baccano!)

Ladd Russo is a violent and psychotic hitman affiliated with the Russo Mafia family in the anime Baccano!. He is known for taking sadistic pleasure in killing and for wearing a flamboyant white suit.
Ladd's unpredictable nature and theatrical love of violence make him a wild card in the series... read more

First off, a lot of you might not even know who this guy is, because many people haven't seen Baccano! Trust me, though, this guy is insane! He's very sadistic and loves to kill people. Numerous people on the train, the Flying Pussyfoot, were killed because of him.
He even married a girl just to kill her! I mean, who does that?! There are other characters in Baccano! who are crazy, but to me, this guy was the worst.
Franken Stein (Soul Eater)

He's a guy that likes to experiment on people and cut them up into pieces. Madness started to consume him throughout the series. He was even crazier than the villains, and that's saying something when you look at Medusa. This one, to me, was an obvious choice.
Light Yagami (Death Note)

Light Yagami is a fictional character and the protagonist of the manga series Death Note, created by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata.e is a high school student who gains the power to kill anyone by writing their name in a supernatural notebook. The story follows his transformation from... read more

He went crazy after he got power. Need I say more?

I love his character, but he was insane too, and that's one reason why I love him.
Izaya Orihara (Durarara!!)

He is crazy, and at the same time, he is smart and skilled.
I envy his madness!

He's just a hot-ass psycho who is simply interested in humans.
Betelgeuse Romanée-Conti (Re:Zero)

With exceptions like Yuno and Hisoka, most of these characters aren't even crazy. Hell, Hisoka doesn't compare with this lunatic!

This guy is crazy! He even eats his own nails! Not just the fingertips - the whole fingers and hands as well!

I find it odd how he shares the same Japanese voice actor as Kirito, Lubbock, and Soma.

The Newcomers

Sabrina (Pokémon)

Sabrina is a fictional character in the Pokémon universe and serves as the Gym Leader of Saffron City. She specializes in Psychic-type Pokémon and appears in the Generation I video games Pokémon Red and Blue. Sabrina also appears in the Pokémon animated series and various related media, including the... read more

Jean Kirschstein (Attack on Titan)

Jean Kirstein is a character from the manga and anime series Attack on Titan, created by Hajime Isayama. At first, Jean is self-centered and dreams of living a safe and comfortable life within the city walls. However, he undergoes significant character development and becomes a more altruistic and capable... read more

The Contenders

Solf J. Kimblee (Fullmetal Alchemist/Brotherhood)

Solf J. Kimblee is a fictional character in the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series and its anime adaptations created by Hiromu Arakawa. He is known as the Crimson Alchemist and is infamous for his explosive alchemy techniques. Kimblee is a complex villain, admired for his philosophical views and dangerous... read more

I know what you're thinking: What about Shou Tucker? Well, to me, Shou Tucker was only really insane in Brotherhood, because he was a touch more sympathetic in the first series. Also, in Brotherhood, he's more scary than crazy. Kimblee, on the other hand, is a man obsessed with explosives, and he loves to get his hands on any type. He's even used people as bombs. He doesn't care about the lives of anyone. So, in my opinion, he's even crazier than Shou Tucker.
Father Alexander Anderson (Hellsing)
Juuzou Suzuya (Tokyo Ghoul)

Juuzou Suzuya (Japanese: 鈴屋什造, Suzuya Jūzō) is a major character in the anime and manga series Tokyo Ghoul and its sequel Tokyo Ghoul:re. He was a Special Class Ghoul Investigator before becoming a Dragon General for the Tokyo Security Committee. In the past, he went by the name Rei Suzuya (鈴屋玲, Suzuya... read more

Juuzou is somehow crazy, badass, and cute all at the same time!

Literally, no one can be crazy, badass, and cute at the same time like him.
Junko Enoshima (Danganronpa)

Junko Enoshima (江ノ島盾子, Enoshima Junko) is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th and a participant in the Killing School Life featured in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. Her title is Ultimate Fashionista. She is later revealed to be the True Ultimate Despair, orchestrating much of the series... read more

Honestly, she should be in the top ten. She's totally obsessed with despair. She has like five personalities if I'm correct, and she created a killing game and killed her sister for her despair obsession.

Genocide, rampage, killing her own sister, who'd only been loyal to her? Why? For the sake of despair. That's the only reason.

She's a despair-loving, mixed-up psychopath. Need I say more? She created a killing game for fun and killed her OWN sister for fun.
Nagito Komaeda (Super Danganronpa 2)

Nagito Komaeda (狛枝凪斗, Komaeda Nagito) is a fictional character from the video game Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. He is a student in Class 77-B at Hope's Peak Academy and a participant in the Killing School Trip storyline. His designated title in the game is Ultimate Lucky Student, which reflects his... read more

This guy... This guy...
I love this guy. His messed-up past and mental issues, combined with his bad luck → good luck cycle, somehow end up with him wanting to bring despair to his classmates in order for their hope to shine through. Whether it's the killer's hope or everyone else's, he doesn't care. He just wants HOPE, and he doesn't care if he needs to die for others to have it. In fact, he WANTS to! He's crazy, and in my opinion, the craziest character in Danganronpa, even more so than Junko (just in my opinion).

Cuts off his own arm to replace it with one that belonged to a dead body. Wanted to kill all of his classmates, so he made it look like he was tortured by tying himself up, taping his mouth, cutting his legs multiple times, and impaling himself. Plus, BOMBS.
Pierrot Le Fou (Cowboy Bebop)

... Just watch the episode.
Kotonoha Katsura (School Days)

Kotonoha Katsura (桂言葉, Katsura Kotonoha) is one of the two main heroines in the visual novel and anime School Days. She also appears as a secondary character in the related series Summer/Shiny Days and Cross Days.
Kotonoha is the oldest daughter of Manami and Mr. Katsura and has a younger sister... read more

The only somewhat likable character from one of the worst animes of all time. Sure, she was crazy at the end, but it was because of circumstances out of her control.

Can't blame her. Anyone would go crazy if they're around that jerk Makoto Ito for too long.
Hange Zoe (Attack on Titan)
Envy (Fullmetal Alchemist/Brotherhood)
Juvia Lockser (Fairy Tail)

Juvia Lockser is a mage from the Fairy Tail guild. As a child, she was abandoned by her parents because rain constantly followed her, making her feel isolated and unwanted. She lived in an orphanage where she was mistreated by the other children for being different. Her blue hair and the rain that followed... read more
Haruko Haruhara (FLCL)

Haruko Haruhara (Japanese: ハルハラ・ハル子, Haruhara Haruko) is a central character in the anime FLCL. She is an extraterrestrial investigator who travels to Earth in search of the powerful being known as Atomsk.
Haruko is unpredictable and energetic, and she often serves as the catalyst for the bizarre... read more

Again, haven't seen FLCL, but my mom has, so she told me a bit about Haruko. Let's just put it this way: the first scene she's in, she hits a kid with a Vespa, gives him CPR, then hits him on the head with her guitar. Sounds pretty nuts to me.
Himiko Toga (My Hero Academia)
Lucy (Elfen Lied)

Lucy, born Kaede, is a fictional Japanese character who serves as the tragic antiheroine and main protagonist of the manga Elfen Lied. The series was created by Lynn Okamoto and is best known for its anime adaptation, directed by Mamoru Kanbe and written by Takao Yoshioka. In the Japanese version, Lucy... read more
Alucard (Hellsing)

Alucard is a fictional character who serves as both the protagonist and antihero of the Hellsing manga and anime series created by Kouta Hirano. He is a powerful vampire employed by the Hellsing Organization to combat supernatural threats. Alucard is known for his immortality, his shape-shifting abilities... read more

The people who haven't voted are either crazy themselves or just plain stupid. This guy is more brutal and bloody than anybody on this list. Alexander Anderson, who himself is insane, sees Alucard as a crazy monster, as does everyone else in the anime. Honestly, this is an anime filled with crazy people, and I am surprised that he wasn't even in the top 10.

Alucard is none other than Count Dracula in person, having survived the events recounted in Bram Stoker's Dracula and becoming the servant of the Hellsing family. Not only that, but he was born in 1431 under the name of "Vlad III Dracul" (a historical figure who actually existed, also known as "Vlad the Impaler"). I love him. He is a fantastic character, both psychologically and aesthetically.
Yumeko Jabami (Kakegurui)

She should be in the top ten. She is literally insane and gives away her life for gambling, not even caring about harming herself, going broke, or letting someone control her life for gambling. She seeks pleasure through gambling and has given 10 billion yen for it. By the way, there are moments where she goes crazy, and her face becomes detailed, and her eyes turn red. It's really entertaining, and she can be scary at times.
