Top Ten Yandere Characters in Anime
I personally prefer Yuno as a yandere queen over anybody else. Yuno was the one who made the yandere trend, after all. She made the brand, basically. Not only that, she became a goddess and can basically do whatever she wants in the end.
There's a reason why when we talk about yandere, Yuno is always on top of the list. She is literally the symbol of all yandere characters, and even now, no one has demonstrated the definition of a yandere as well as Yuno did, so she's the queen.
I think I know why she's at the top of every yandere list: she always knows what Yuki is up to, breaks into his house in one episode, and even chops off a girl's hand when she kissed Yuki in front of her! That girl is crazy.
All the characters in this anime are messed up. Seriously, not even the main character is normal. This girl wins the prize, though. She hanged two men, one with a chain. She stabbed Satoko a couple of times (tortured her, basically), who was the sister of her lover, and killed her own grandma. The lighter part was just messed up. She locked her sister up, who lost three nails because she felt bad over Shion's punishment.
She did fall and die but then came back as a ghost and killed Keiichi. If that's not enough, she wanted to torture Rika too, but Rika killed herself in front of her, and all Shion did was laugh. She even had weird hallucinations of her lover Satoshi, who is dead. She is far more of a yandere than Yuno. To be honest, I believe Yuno is a little overrated.
Ayano doesn't necessarily need a personality to be a yandere. As long as she has the thirst and ability to kill anyone she deems a potential rival for Senpai's love, she is, in fact, a yandere. It's in the title.
Judging by the game's name, we already know that she is a YANDERE! She doesn't care who she hurts until she gets her "Senpai" from her rival. Why does everyone disagree with her being a yandere girl? She is COMPLETELY yandere!
Ayano Aishi is a bloodthirsty high school girl who will get rid of anyone who likes her Senpai. She may not be the most interesting girl, but I believe she is a complete yandere. Ayano for the win.
Kotonoha is the oldest daughter of Manami and Mr. Katsura, as well as the older sister of Kokoro Katsura... read more
She is not the most skilled, but she has been through so much and so desperately tried to win over Makoto. She went through plenty of heartbreaks and other awful stuff that I do not wish to name. I feel like she deserves a better man.
What I don't understand about Kotonoha and Sekai is: how come they don't become yanderes until the final episode? I never would have expected Kotonoha, of all people, to be one, considering how shy and weak she seemed in every other episode.
She has been through so much. Being with her boyfriend and later finding out that he had been cheating on her. She may not be the most skilled yandere, but she is the kindest yandere I've ever seen.
Oh, god, where do I start? She has a cruel backstory, an awesome story, and she's cute. Wow...
She's definitely a very... unique yandere.
I wish I had the power to kill people with invisible arms like Lucy does.
You are mine, all mine, Len. I don't care if you are not a proper vocaloid, you're ALL MINE!
Am I the only person who always confuses Sekai with Kotonoha?
Spoilers ahead: What sets Kaede apart from others is how sympathetic she is when she goes off the rails. After the accident that killed her mom and Rin's parents, she lost all will to live. Her dad refused to talk to her, and she wasn't given a psychiatrist to guide her through the troubled time. Rin made up a lie to give her a reason to live, saying he was at fault for the accident by asking them to come home earlier than planned.
Kaede then hated Rin and abused him, even dropping a blade that sideswiped his eye. Years later, from a hidden postcard, she learns that they were coming back early because she was sick. This makes her blame herself for the accident and try to atone for her actions by being Rin's slave. This becomes her new reason to live. Out of this, she develops real romantic feelings and dotes on him out of love and guilt over her past actions.
When Rin started dating Asa, it took Kaede's reason to live away, and she snapped. Everything goes into a major tailspin until she and Asa have a long talk, as well as one with Rin. If we rewound the clock and Kaede was told the truth, as well as how one could blame any number of factors for not stopping the accident, from traffic lights to the cops pulling over the drunk driver that killed her mom and Rin's parents, and if she had been given proper medical help back then, Kaede wouldn't be on this list. She would be much more like her game counterpart.
There are not enough male yanderes on the list! Everyone loves the female yanderes, but everyone forgets about the males. Let's try and get Shuu and the other males higher on the list!
I have to admit, Shuu is really hot, especially when he wears that blue suit! That hair of his is awesome, too.
I love Shuu! I even have an anime body pillow of him!
Umm... I don't know much about Kurumi, but she looks sly and cute and seems like she is not afraid to do whatever it takes.
The Newcomers
Of course, Monika will always be the second-best yandere. She actually deletes other character files so you'll love her. If you don't know who Monika is or what game she's from, go play Doki Doki Literature Club. Just a disclaimer though, that game has really messed up scenes, such as suicidal stuff. A really bright and cute girl named Sayori commits suicide, and a shy and timid girl, Yuri, stabs herself. Monika made them do all that.
But I won't tell you what to do to get the true ending, but you do have to do what Monika did to the other girls. And Natsuki dies from Monika deleting her because Monika realizes that she doesn't have to manipulate them anymore. She can just delete her right on the spot.
For all of you saying that she's not a yandere, remember, as Monika said herself, Yuri always had obsessive tendencies. She claims that all she did was "untie the knot." Even though Yuri didn't kill anyone (other than herself, of course), you can still be a yandere if you have obsessive tendencies and are very much willing to kill someone. Self-sacrificing yanderes are just a subtrope of yandere, which is way less popular and less used. Plus, she can be dandere and yandere at the same time. You know that, right?
Trust me, you don't want to be stuck in a room by yourself with Shiro when she becomes the Wretched Egg. She is hot, though.
One of the best yandere characters ever. Very unexpected, too. Read the manga for Deadman Wonderland.
Shiro has white eyelashes! I have not seen Deadman Wonderland yet, but is she albino?
She may be from an anime, but she is a yandere. She is also the first yandere vocaloid.
There's a yandere vocaloid? Cool!
She's underrated. She needs more screen time. I think she's interesting, funny, cute, cool, and badass. She could be so much more than just the girl obsessed with marrying her own brother. I hate how she's reduced to this. She's one of my favorite Hetalia characters. I wish I had a friend like her.
I've only seen Axis Powers, but I hear that Prussia is a yandere, too. Is that true?
That one episode where she tries to force Russia to marry her. Creepy!
She hasn't really tried to kill anyone, though.
She may not be your typical yandere, but she WILL do whatever Light tells her to, even if it means killing people.
