Top 10 Worst Anime Parents

The Top Ten
1 Shou Tucker - Fullmetal Alchemist and Brotherhood Shou Tucker is a fictional character from the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series and its adaptations created by Hiromu Arakawa.

Well, Anime America explained it well and I'm certain everyone who's commented on this explained their points great. This man is absolutely selfish and cruel. He will abuse and use his child for his own silly research and he basically done the same to his wife! And his form... I ran out a room screaming! Over all not only was he an awful parent but an awful person. He is selfish and will use anything and anyone to get his own way even if it involves his family.

It was pretty obvious who number one would be. And I haven't even watched Fullmetal Alchemist yet.

2 Gendo Ikari - Neon Genesis Evangelion Gendo Ikari is a fictional character in the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise. He is the commander of NERV.
3 Medusa Gorgon - Soul Eater

Shou Tucker female version.. for real though, she used her own child as an experiment, if that ain't enough created him just to become a weapon she could turn to whenever she couldn't do things on her own. Made him betray his friends and loved ones who actually cared for him just to satisfy her. She cared so little for him that in fact, I am pretty sure.. she would commit any crime on him just to save herself. Whenever he did something that didn't satisfy her expectations she locked him up in "his" own room for days until he was ready, to once again fulfill her requirements. Crona deserved(and needed) a better parent enough said!

4 Charles Zi Britannia - Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

I am ashamed to have been born on the same day he was. But then again, me and Obama were both born on the same day this horrible father was.

5 Sasuke Uchiha - Naruto Sasuke Uchiha is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

she literally almost killed her daughter destroying the house and never even apologized. she called her a " stupid child " and refers to her as " my daughter " rather than Sarada. This girl really wants to show everyone she has a kid with Sasuke smh. She told Sasuke to continue to do his work on missions and that they're fine after Sarada literally said that there's no difference that when he's not at the village. She is the worst parent ever. At least Sasuke didn't recognize her when he was about to kill her, she did it knowing all too well she could have gotten hurt and get killed just because she's stupid and can't answer to a normal question. Sakura you're freaking 32 years old. Act like it.

6 Hayate's Parents - Hayate the Combat Butler

The worst type of parents what type of parents make their son do all the work cause they are so lazy to do work and take all of his money and give them debt of 156,804,000 yen for a christmas present

Makes there soon have to work part time to support the family only to take his money then gives him 1.3 million dollars of debt and a present.

7 Jiemma - Fairy Tail

While he is by far the best Fairy Tail character, he is still a pretty bad parent. At least he tried to make his daughter stronger thanks to his horrible parenting.

Terrible father. He treated his own daughter and guild members like garbage. So glad Sting and Rogue finally kicked his ass.

Even though he is a terrible parent, he is not as bad as Shou Tucker from Full metal Alchemist

8 Ragyo - Kill la Kill

Ragyo is a real monster. She experimented on her newborn daughter (major spoiler: main protagonist Ryuko) with Life Fibers, subjected her first daughter Satsuki to... questionable treatment (I'm not saying what it was because everyone already knows), ordered her surrogate third daughter Nui to kill herself and merge with the Primordial Life Fiber and planned to turn the entire planet into a food source for Life Fibers. Satsuki said it best: "You gave your humanity to Life Fibers." This woman is... okay, maybe not the worst anime parent of all time, but she's definitely worse than Gendo.

9 Vinsmoke Judge - One Piece

One of the worst father I ever seen. Let's seeā€¦ He experimented on his unborn kids in order to make them lose their emotions wanting them to become unfeeling killing machines despite his wife's wishes. He called his son a failure for being born human and rejected him for being weak. He let the other children bully him relentlessly. He faked his son's death, put him in prison in an iron mask to forget his existence. When his son escaped the cell he asked him to never reveal he was his father because he was too ashamed of him and told him he hoped he would die out there. Then when that same son finally made a name for himself later in life, he went after him in order to use him like a pawn, blackmailing him with his adoptive father's life. Worst. Father. Ever.

10 Todoroki Enji - Boku no Hero Academia

I'm SO glad someone was smart enough to add Endeavor to this list. Not only is he far from what a hero should be by only seeking pride and glory and not to help society, but the things he's done to his own family are nothing short of atrocious. Manipulating his own offspring including Shouto just to raise them as his successor to surpass All Might to mentally breaking his own wife that he saw nothing more than as a tool, Endeavor is more of a villain than a hero, if not, an abusive parent to any extent.

The Contenders
11 Momiji's Mother - Fruits Basket

How do you refuse to hold your own child? She sickens me.

12 Satan - Blue Exorcist

He's the Devil. What did you expect?

13 Delia Ketchum - Pokemon

I'm sorry, but who the actual hell allows their child to run around a world full of potentially dangerous Pokemon? I mean, shouldn't you be worried? Out there looking for him? Calling him every once in a while? I bet she doesn't even know that Ash nearly got turned into stone, got electrocuted hundreds of times, gets whipped with Vine Whip, and meeting legendary Pokemon.

People slag off a toddlers show about a 6 year old who travels with a monkey. But Pokemon is about a child yes older he is 10 but is still a child.

14 Sakura Haruno - Naruto Sakura Haruno is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto.

A terrible mother. She doesn't even seem to be the creator of a psychologist support clinic for children, why does she treat her daughter so badly, to the point of breaking her home and making her cry by screaming at her for a simple question! Not to mention Sarada's trauma of not having her father, who she doesn't seem to mind, always saying it's okay, but it's not!

She could have easily killed her child when she destroyed her house over a question, enough said.

She broke a house just be mad at her daughter's saying and terrified her to cry.

15 Ren Sohma - Fruits Basket

She is so jealous of her own child that she forces her to pretend to be a boy and repeatedly psychologicaly mistreats her for years which drives Akito crazy. Akito then repeats the cycle of abuse with others in her clan. This lady should have been locked up when she threatened to kill her kid if she didn't act like a boy. The leader, her husband, should've been all "Sure anything you say honey" to Ren's face then once she gave birth locked this psycho up. I don't care how much you love someone when they threaten your kid that's when the gloves come off.

16 Rasa - Naruto

I'm aware that he later apologized when he was reanimated, but he caused Gaara so much pain. Tried to assassinate him multiple times. Lied to him. Ruined his childhood.

17 Kyo's Father - Fruits Basket

Fruits Basket, the show of parents who can't accept the fact that their children can transform into zodiac animals. I don't think I need to demonstrate any further...

18 Nagisa Shiota's Mother - Assassination Classroom

Oh, I'm sorry! You didn't have a girl like you wanted so I guess your just going to have to force your son to grow out his hair and wear things he doesn't want to. I hate her so much. Nagisa shouldn't have had to save her. I would've been fine if she died. Not only did she want TO BURN THE SCHOOL DOWN because Korosensei wanted Nagisa to stay in 3-E, she ABUSED him and YELLED at him in front of Korosensei. I feel bad for Nagisa. He deserves a better mother

19 Irene Belserion - Fairy Tail

After being tortured by her husband for three years straight, she surpressed her pregnancy and tried her best to protect Erza from harm. On the day of her execution, she turns into a dragon and escapes. She later meets Zeref who gives her back her human form, however, she lacks the qualities of being a human (lack of tasting food and lack of sleep). She drives herself into insanity, and wishes to be reborn as a human, so she tries to enchant herself into Erza to become human again. Her enchantment fails, and shortly after giving birth to Erza, Irene abandons her in a village, where she is later captured and turned into a child slave at the Tower of Heaven.

20 Asuka's Mother - Neon Genesis Evangelion

Yes. What she did and how she treated Asuka was horrible and I am in no way trying to justify these actions. However one thing some people don't realize was that this woman was confirmed to be clinically insane.

She caused such a young child so much trauma.

21 Akemi Hinazuki - Erased
22 Kaguya Otsutsuki - Naruto Kaguya Otsutsuki is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

She tried to kill her sons when they were only INFANTS by absorbing their chakra (life force). Very cruel of her!

23 Mr. Ishtar - Yu Gi Oh

Hmmm a father who locks his children away from the outside world because it's "for their own good." Mr. Ishtar reminds me of Judge Claude Frollo.

He is a terrible father. Who locks their children away and keeps them away from the outside world...only a insane and terrible parent would

24 Mayu's Stepfather - Elfen Lied
25 Gyokuen Ren - Magi

She should at least get a higher spot since she didn't care about killing all of her kids if she could, she already killed 2 of them, her husband and poisoned her second husband so she could be the next emporer of the Kou Empire, not to mention she wants to end the world...

She killed her two sons,husband,and tried to put the whole world in danger. Not to mention she threatened to kill Hakuie. And burned down a empire with her family in it. And still has one son and treats him like a real mother even though he knows everything that she has done.
