Worst Anime Couples

Anime is full of couples that are very entertaining, but some just get on everyone's nerves or don't go well together. This is a list for the latter, bad couples from anime.
The Top Ten
1 Sasuke and Sakura (Naruto)

There is NO other anime couple as unrealistic as this "couple". A Guy who had outrightly rejected a girl more than FIVE occasions including just seven chapters before the ending chapter suddenly decides he likes the girl. And this guy, Sasuke Uchiha, had tried to assassinate the girl, Sakura Haruno, three times straight. And the hardcore fangirl continued to "love" the handsome homicidal maniac. Let's face it- it's not love but rather an Unhealthy obsession. There's no solid foundation to their relationship- their relationship bears witness to the fact that Masashi Kishimoto, the writer, is perfunctorily mundane and morbid in his writing. Heck, Sasuke and Hinata would make more sense than this bull couple since Sasuke never abused Hinata.

I can't understand Sakura and I don't want to...She is a perfect example of a girl who hasn't even self-respect. How can you chose the guy who tried to kill you several times! And...to have a child with him. Sasuke even doesn't care about her even when they are married. Sakura even had to photoshop their photo. I think Kishi troll her hard, she has only credit for her house, a daughter who even didn't believe that she is her mum and a husband who just have "super mission" for about 8-10 years. So, it's a good lesson for all fangirls- always have some self-respect!

2 Ichigo and Orihime (Bleach)

No development whatsoever. I personally think Kubo deliberately made the last chapter make no sense. Each character was not acting like themselves, so if anything, a different version of Ichigo stayed with Orihime. There was little development to her character while Ichigo went through an entire transformation. I can't even call them a couple because they didn't have any memorable conversations that made your heart feel warm after seeing them interact. I feel sorry for those who ship Ichigo and Orihime because they don't see how deep and meaningful a real loving relationship looks like. Throughout the entire manga, Inoue was after Ichigo like a dog. Ichigo is kind, but come on it's not like he wouldn't see her obsession with him. He cared for her of course, as he does for all of his friends, but that is all. Ichigo is his own person, who is inspired by many people, namely Rukia of course. Inoue is not. If you took away Ichigo what is she? She lives for Ichigo, which makes me so sad to think that a character's sole purpose could be that. It also bothers me so much because many girls who actually like this pairing think this is what love is like, a one-sided infatuation. Orihime does not challenge Ichigo the way Rukia does. She does not understand him, but always desperately wants his validation and approval. Not a good character at all. Such a waste, as she could have had a much more developed role. Sad and pathetic.

3 Makoto and Sekai (School Days)

Makoto deserved to get stabbed, but Sekai is also a dumb@$$. She tried to force makoto to love her by trying to manipulate him by saying she's pregnant.

Just by the pic alone, people should have known to put this above ichihime. But no, ichiruki fans are too butthurt to see that this ship is so much more toxic and worse.

A toxic relationship that damaged everyone around them, including themselves.

4 Light and Misa (Death Note)

L pissed me off when he said, "Misa's love for Light is perfect." Bs. Her "love" is FAR from perfect. I wouldn't even call it love. Just an unhealthy, selfish obsession. Love at first sight is not love. Physical attraction, sure. Or lust, maybe. But not love. Misa's a pathetic braindead idiot - a disgrace and a joke to women everywhere. End of discussion.

Yeah, these two weren't made for each other. She loves him because she believes in 'love at first sight' basically. Nobody nowadays falls in love at first sight. If they do, it's probably for comedic reasons and not true romance. She literally said she wants him to use her and he's completely fine with that because he can use to her to his advantage to murder his enemies. The only reason she stuck around him was he pretended they were dating. However, he never liked her and in his mind he clearly said: This is the first time in my life that I've been provoked to hit a woman. Also, he went along with it because he was threatened to do it by a shinigami. These two have zero chemistry and are a terrible couple.

Honestly, I never considered them a real couple. She was a crazy stalker that was all ga-ga for him and Light was a psycho with a god complex. They were more together in the way a clownfish and an anemone are in a symbiotic partnership. Light just used her for his own ends and let Misa create her own relationship delusions. In some ways this works for them because Light obviously wants to be worshipped and Misa obviously wants to worship him. But just because I understand that doesn't mean that I don't consider them as a pair annoying times 100. I don't understand how either of them could put up with each other. If I were Light I would've flipped out on Misa for being so whiny and clingy. And if I were Misa..well no..I'd never even consider being that pathetic. Girl let's Light do whatever to her and is grateful...just no.

Miss loves Light, but Light doesn't love Misa. He just uses her to his advantage, and she follows his every order just because she'd do anything for his "love". It's one-sided, and even if Light DID love Misa, it just wouldn't work.
Side Note: also, if I ever hear anyone say "Misa-Misa" again, it'll be too soon. I just don't like Misa. Like, at all.

5 Pico and Tamotsu (Boku no Pico)

Completely wrong. This is a notorious and disgusting ship. Why isn't this higher on this list?

Anyone who does not vote for this couple hasn't seen Boku no Pico. It's just atrocious.

Um... because everyone thinks the 30+ yr old man who is crushing on the 15 year old boy (whom he thought was a girl) is a good ship

How is this not higher on the list? It's an probably 25-year-old and a child. And,Tamotsu really didn't love Pico.

6 Goku and Chi Chi (Dragon Ball)

Chi chi fell in love with Goku because he touched her vagina because he couldn't tell the difference between a boy and a girl( chi chi was wearing the most inapropriate costume ever, how did he not see her boobs! )

Goku deserved better than chi chi. Goku deserved bulma. in case of sasuke. sakura I wrote their hinata and sasuke are opposite and opposite poles attract each other (mother science) so bulma and goku are also opposite goku = dumb, bulma= goddess of intelligence, bulma+ goku= world's best couple. but sadly it never happened. goku is such a good husband but chi chi
... Ugh. and goku behaves good with her because he is good hearted he does not kill his enemies

Worst couple ever. I mean, Chi-Chi literally forced Goku to marry her, then she keeps mistreating him all day. Goku deserves so much better.

Chi Chi expects Goku to stay at home and do nothing , but Goku is busy trying to save the planet . which one is more important?

7 Kirito and Asuna (Sword Art Online)

I hate them and when I see how people say they are the best couple it really makes me angry I mean A lot of great couple anime is out there why these two boring with zero chemistry are the best?! I would love the anime if these two never get together

Another thing is that all the girl in this anime fall for kirito what is that?

I think sauna can do better with someone older than her (I don't like those couples that boy is younger or is the same age with the girl, boy most be older the girl, it makes it hooot but not to old)

They didn't click when they first met, and now they would do anything for each other and can't live without one another, doesn't that sounds strange. anyway, I would've love this anime if these two weren't together.

As long as Kirito isn't paired with Suguha (even if she wasn't his cousin, I still wouldn't ship them), I'm okay with this couple. But I will admit as a person who loves SAO that they're overrated.

Stop whining about love hate relationships. I personally love this couple, and I think they feel more real then a lot of other anime couples. Deal with it.

8 Kyousuke and Kirino (OreImo)

If I was Kyousuke I would never allow this to happen I don't care if my sister gets unhappy this is never okay. Kirino is also a mary sue which is another reason to hate her. This is just disgusting!

Even if they weren't siblings, just the way she treated this guy throughout the whole series would've made this ship totally awful and hateful.

I mean incest is just not a way to go. If it was your step sister or brother it would make a load of sense, but this is just weird.

Even if they weren't siblings this would be bad. They don't work together as a romantic pair. Kirino is the worst kind of Tsundere and Kyousuke is a complete hack

9 Yukiteru and Yuno (Mirai Nikki/Future Diary)

My problem with this ship is that Yuno has abused Yuki and kidnapped him. Yuno manipulated him into killing his friends, and gets so extremely jealous when he talks to other people. Wasn't she even planning to kill his mother? Also, Yuki can't take a relationship seriously. He took advantage of the way she "loved" him, later rejected her, and then decided to make up with her. What even was Yuki's character? He was one of the worst I've ever seen. And, the icing on the cake��"Yuno didn't love Yuki specifically. She just latched onto him because he happened to be in the right place at the right time. Or, really, the wrong place and time.

NOPE! Yuno is a psycho she needed A LOT of help and Yuki obviously has Stockholm syndrome. Also one minute Yuki was all lovey dovey about Yuno and the next minute he didn't want anything to do with her, the only reason why he sticked to her in the first place was because would've gotten himself killed it he didn't. They both needed a lot of help they were just as bad as each other. THIS IS A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP!

This should be #1! Throughout the series, Yuki is horrified of Yuno because she's a psycho. Honestly, Yuki should've gotten with Akise, the boy with the biggest crush on him who died to make sure Yuki wouldn't be killed by Yuno.

This is such a dysfunctional couple in an anime. I find it ironic how CastlevaniaFanboy128 says Mirai Nikki is his favorite anime while Yukiteru and Yuno are 3rd on his remix of this list.

10 Gray Fullbuster & Erza Scarlet (Fairy Tail)

He's been literally terrified of her since they were children, much more than he has ever been uncomfortable around Juvia. She's been beating him (and Natsu) up for years, which has made them terrified of her.

Can someone give me an actual reason to not like Grayza, because all I see is "Jerza for life! " Or "Gruvia For Life! " These aren't going even actual reasons. They'res nothing even wrong with this ship, they were childhood friends and partners. Gray is always scared of her mostly for comedic relief. At least Gray can stand up to her

No, they will never ever be a couple because what will happen to Juvia and Jellal. I mean what's wrong with people shipping this two. Heck no, I ship Gray and Juvia, and, Erza and Jellal. Plus their only friends.

I'm sorry, let me recover from laughing my ass off when someone even thought about this ship! If you like this ship, you and me need to have a talk. One that involves my fist and your face. #JERZA4LYFE

The Contenders
11 Ash and Serena (Pokemon)

What's worse is that their only 10 years old. Well, Serena It sucks to be you because your one sided love for Ash is rather possessive and clingy(I hate ships where the girl gets jealous on other girls, dotes/clings to their crush, and overly exaggerate their love for them(example:Saying that they'll keep on falling in love with their crush and stuff like that. And It turns out those are just teen crushes). I hope that they'll sink this ship at the end

Ash and serena never were a couple. But if they were a couple I don't why but they don't seem like a couple I would be interested, I mean serena only wants ashes attention when ash doesn't really care that much about her and like she doesn't care to much about Clement and Bonnie and her pokemon.

My lord, Serena is the WORST! This is the worst ship in Pokemon! I personally think that Ash and Dawn should get together. Serena is so useless. I don't even know why she was put into the series. I'm praying that she won't go with Ash to the Alola region.

NO JUST NO Serena is so annoying and is a spoiled brat! Ash isn't interested in Serena, Misty,Iris, May or Dawn why can't people understand that!? And plus Serena would be one the most annoying girlfriends she always wants Ash to pay attention to her and throws a fit when he doesn't do what she wants him to do

12 Ash and Misty (Pokèmon)

Yes! This ship is trash.

1. Misty treats Ash like a stupid kid. Yes, he was a stupid kid, but that isn't how you suppose to treat your potential partner.

2. Ash treats Misty like garbage. He never cares about Misty's feelings. He picks in her with her bug phobia, & never cared about paying back her bike he stole from her, even though he told her he'd give it back to her.

3. Ash cared about Max's feelings! Really when Misty "needed" Pokemon to win some dolls, Ash didn't really want to let her borrow his, but was forced to by Misty. Max however, when he asked Ash when the group had to fight the family, Ash wasn't like, "no way! Get Pokemon from your sister or Brock! " He gave him a choice of any Pokemon he wanted! Even Pikachu was up for grabs for Max! And Max treated Ash terribly when they 1st met too.

4. Misty is also more even tempered with other people besides Ash or Brock. Like Tracey, she never got as angry at him like she does with Ash.

5. At best, this is one sided on Misty's part. All the "Ash hints" are delusional pokeshippers who take Ash being ash as "he's jealous lol canon" & the "gotta catch you later" thing, he was sad about both leaving him not just Misty! He even talked about he said he was that BOTH were leaving him. & he's more sad than he was in the beginning of OI is because he's sad this time he'll have no companion besides Pikachu for company & someone who can help & support him & he's going to a foreign region where he knows nobody. Yea, no wonder he's sad. With the other pokegirls, he was just going home with them pursuing their dream, so of course he wouldn't be sad.

6. He also said misty has a terrible personality & on multiple occasions said she's ugly/looks like a boy. Not only this proves ash has 0 interest in misty, but also dislikes her personality too, in which is the most important thing in a relationship. And there's no way ash could truely... more

13 Ino and Sai (Naruto)

Okay, okay. Let me get this straight.

Ino likes Sai because Sai looks like SASUKE.

And Ino always liked SASUKE so basically Sai is a replacement for SASUKE?

Also, stop hating on NaruHina! Hinata was made for Naruto, and even though Naruto just thought she was weird, she never stopped! Her love for Naruto is real, and when Naruto finally realized he... Well, he realized!

Let's be honest, Ino first notices Sai because he looks like Sasuke. Because Sai doesn't want to offend her on their formal meeting, he calls her beautiful when in reality he found her as unattractive as Sakura. They have no real chemistry and Ino probably calls him 'Sasuke' in the bedroom department.

14 Saito and Louise (The Familiar of Zero)

This should be at #1. All Louise does is yell, abuse Saito, treat him like her slave, starve him, and easily gets annoyed when other girl are around him and yet somehow gains feelings for him. I'm sorry but, How could Saito ever love someone who barely treats him like an equal human, and instead treats him like a slave dog. God, out of all the Tsunderes I got annoyed with, this one has got to be the most annoying. I often like to call her a Queen leveled Tsundere, because she's so bad that it makes other tsunderes like Misty (Pokemon) and Runo (Bakugan) look like tamed lions. WORSE, ANIME, COUPLE, EVER!

I hate Louise. I hate Louise. If there was any character that turned me away from a good anime, it was Louise. I tried to love Familiar of Zero, I really tried. But every time I tried, Louise would remind me what I hated about this anime. What makes the romance between Louise and Saito god awful is that, when Louise brings Saito into her world, she instantly enslaves him. No, I am not kidding. She actually enslaves him, and treats him like a dog. Literally, he makes him eat from a bowl on the floor, and sleeps in a small dog bed. And every time he does the tiniest thing wrong, she doesn't just beat him up. No. She whips him with a horse whip. I'm not kidding. And, what happens in the end. Saito and Louise get married. Don't you just love it when a character to forces another person into their world, enslaves them, and then beats them only to get what she wants…. because I don't…. I really don't. I really… really…. HATE THIS !

Noboru Yamaguchi unfortunately died past three years ago back then so never ever even speak ill of him. No offense nor no other offense to you, Noboru Yamaguchi but I just wish you were more careful when you were portraying any of your characters back then before in the first place so nobody nor nobody else would ever even be easily affected.

This does not make sense at all I hate Louise for being a crappy,annoying,abusive brat. She took Saito away from his home locks him in chains, beats him non stop and some how he falls for her WHAT THE HELL I really don't like this anime cause of Louise. How can someone lie, this seriously. Louis's should never get what she wants and Saito needs better

15 Ciel and Sebastian (Black Butler)

I've always hated SebaCiel to be honest, it's gross, Ciel is engaged, and Sebastian only wants his soul - nothing else. He's only following the contract for those. Sure, he may seem like he somewhat cares about him sometimes, but never romantically.

It is pedophilic, abusive and toxic, there is nothing cute or aborable about a adult in a sexual or romantic relationship with a child. Please stop romanticzing and normalizing pedophilia.

NOPE! Nopity nope nope nope! I'm not seeing this! Do you see this? Let me reload the page and make sure I'm just hallucinating. Who would think this up? Poor fangirls..all their dreams ruined because of this pedophile pairing.

This ship doesn't deserve to be as high as it is on the best anime couples list. It's pedophilia, what sane person would like this pairing?

16 Naruto and Hinata (Naruto)

I've never read/watched this manga/anime. But based on what I read on TV Tropes about the atrocious whiplash writing, both this ship and Naruto x Sakura are terrible (both from a development/writing perspective AND from a relationship perspective). Just pure garbage. I feel sorry for the shippers who were strung along by the idiot who created this series.

Naruto needed a dying Neji to tell him that she liked him... anything wrong with that? I sure as hell think so. Hinata is basically Sakura but quiet. She's a stalker, she would never have fought Pain for someone else, she always needs to be rescued and then she whines about how she isn't strong enough for "Naruto-kun". This ship honestly had potential and it was wasted. It just became a horribly unrealistic relationship. And Naruto doesn't even spend time with her in the end! Basically, I don't think it should have happened. He never noticed her, she never spent time with him (except for a phony backstory that was just thrown in for dramatic effect), and it simply wasn't meant to be.

Having 3 scenes of significant interaction does not make a good romance. The two of them barely even speak over the course of the series and Naruto flat out ignores her for most of it. He never once responds to her "confession" and the death of her cousin was used as a weak excuse to give them interaction with zero chemistry. The series as a whole is one big flop, but the idea of the fact that Naruto "settles" for his silver medal because he couldn't have the woman he wanted is not just insulting to the audience, but the characters as well.

This pairing is the worst! "The Last" was a pathetic excuse to show how Naruto fell in love with Hinata, who he ignored for 15 years plus in the manga and the manga is canon...So if Naruto was only crushing on Sakura out of rivalry, then by that logic, Sakura was only crushing on Sasuke out of rivalry with Ino. The worst part is that Naruto as a character went down the drain. What happened to "I never give up because that's my ninja way" and surpassing the old generation?! Character assasinations left and right to say the least...

17 Aki and Sora (Aki Sora)

It's a crap pairing, incest and overall Sora is just a wimp for letting his own Sketty sister take his virginity.

How did I forget these two siblings!

18 Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki (Bleach)

Ok, I'm speaking as an IchiRuki shipper here. Hear me out!

Rukia was a strong-willed individual and she had a significant effect on the storyline as well as Ichigo's life. Those things alone scream a strong foundation for a well-developed relationship. This is why this ship is extremely popular and chosen over IchiHime most of the time. You may see their relationship to be rather sibling-like and thus disagree with the ship but that point there is just a simple difference of opinions, no point in prolonging the debate or continuously bashing with hate.

I seriously don't like the way we're always assumed to be butthurt fangirls though. Yes, we got some cancerous fans on our side but so does every single ship out there. I know IchiRuki didn't become canon but I'm still saying it would potentially make an awesome pairing if it did. The reason I basically hate Orihime and IchiHime isn't about some stupid ship wars either, it's a lot deeper than that.

19 Tatsumi and Mine (Akame Ga Kill)

Takahiro should know better than to have these two being couple material, even if it's his story. Another couple that is forced should never have been existed at all. It's so embarrassing to at manga readers!

Is it just me, or should the guy end up with the girl whose name is in the title?

Some people say they were forced to be couple material.

Worst couple ever.

20 Masamune and Sagiri (EroManga Sensei)

Worse than Kyosuke and Kirino, but at least these two aren't blood related.

21 Eren and Mikasa (Attack on Titan)

I like the feeling of tragedy they have in the last chapter. What I don't like, and that's why I don't ship it, is the way Eren's feelings were never hinted at in the rest of the manga. Author wants us to suddenly see them as your anime titanic equivalent, but it just... lacks the foundations for that. Eren even seemed annoyed (in a brotherly way, I guess) by her attitude, at times.

Plus, I thought I had finally found a refreshing portrayal of a female character, where the girl doesn't get the guy she likes and moves on, instead of the usual hard-to-believe cliché, but nope.

I also want to add that, realistically speaking, I think that Historia would have been much more believable as Eren's type than Mikasa. (And Historia didn't even had to necessarily reciprocate his feelings, for that).

Let's say that I don't exactly hate this pairing (only thanks to the last chapter), but I don't exactly feel like it was well written either, due to those reasons and the missed ...more

1. It can't be incest, she's adopted
2. The only way that this would be incest would be if Mikasa was adopted at a very young age and they were raised together but eventually she would fall in love with him.
3. They are actually just childhood friends who ended up living the same house
4. She arrived at their house when she was around 9 or 10 years old, Eren didn't even know her and her whereabouts until he was 9 or 10 years old.
5. Winry Rockbell and Edward Elric have been friends for way longer(since birth by the way) and Edward and his younger brother Alphonse where adopted a bit younger then Mikasa was and Edward ended up marrying Winry, but no one said that was incest
6. You can't say that mikasa and eren's relationship is incest if you don't consider Edward and Winry's relationship incest, but since Edward and Winry's relationship isn't incest in the slightest and Eren and Mikasa's relationship is not even developed compared to (or just in general) like Winry and ...more

Although not as bad as the incest in The Irregular At Magic High School, I don't really like this shipping even though Mikasa is an adopted sister. Plus, her romantic interest seems to be a potential disaster for the anime.

While Mikasa definitely shows interest in Eren, there is absolutely no hint of reciprocation on Eren's part. In addition, while it isn't actually incest, Eren views Mikasa as a sister. As in other stories with similar couplings (Mansfield Park by Jane Austen comes to mind,) it gives this coupling an incestuous air

22 Dawn and Paul (Pokemon)

Ikarishippng, huh? It's terrible. Besides Dawn has no romantic interest in Paul and neither Paul has any kind of attraction towards her.

Dawn & Paul have barely spoken to each other, & dawn has 0 interest in him.

Dawn was really energetic and fun-loving, and is probably my favourite Pokè-girl ever (since I grew up with the DP series). But Paul? Paul was a heartless, arrogant dick, even to his own Pokèmon. Bottom line, I hate this couple (but I still really like Dawn)

23 Wave and Kurome (Akame Ga Kill)

These two are pathetic! Shouldn't exist at all!

Pathetic! It's no wonder the manga sucks!

24 Ulquiorra and Orihime (Bleach)

0% good. O sided, abusive, & only loved by orihime haters. I ship you haters with an abusive person, you people deserve that more than orihime! And I bet the shippers only think she deserves someone who abuses her because she dared 'steal rukias man! ' Rukia only saw ichigo as a friend! Same with ichigo! So leave orihime alone!

When I knew this pairing was popular I was really surprised, and I was totally in shock when some people expected it to be canon. People are crazy.

Surprised it wasn't on the list before. In fact, I'm completely disappointed that it's popular at all or even liked. Completely abusive & awful.

One of the many ships that embarrasses the human race for being disgusting & popular.

25 Naruto and Sakura (Naruto)

This doesn't make any sense at all. There was absolutely no desire of sakura to be with naruto she was hung up on sasuke so much I find it hard to believe why some people think she would suddenly switch. Wouldn't that seem insincere and fake? Who approves that? Naruto has expressed no interest apart from some childish attempts of over being with the girl everyone wants who likes his rival. It was clear that it was shallow and clearly meant for comedy. How exactly is this love if the girl is persistently crying over someone else saying she's in love with them and the boy couldn't be so bothered about it while making some jokes when he wasnt occupied with more important things. This is actually an insult to the real meaningful bonds of Naruto.
Besides When hinata rejected naruto he gave up on everything mentally physically could not function like himself. That kids is what actual heartbreak and love feels like. take notes

What a gross ship. Worst one ever. Naruto does not respect her at all and knows she is not interested yet he still disguises himself as sasuke just to steal a kiss from her and then say rude things to make her hate sasuke. Is this love for you? he is just a childish prankster who wants to win her as a prize from sasuke. Why is she treated like a prize for him?
He will ask her for dates knowing her answer will be no but even after she rejects he is happy later...Really? doesn't seem like he is serious about it all then if rejections have no affect. Its all just typical jokes.
And Sakura has never made naruto happy with her words or her presence. She never understood him, she only keeps burdening him with her problems then feels guilty. This is completely unhealthy.
And why should sakura suddenly like naruto after he became a cool hero when she never liked his true self or personality before at all. After all, She mocked and bullied him before when he really needed ...more

Yes we all know this was just for comedy and not real so it will never happen. Only people who are dumb and illiterate liked this and they were proven wrong anyway. And the fandom lost their mind when it didn't happen it was funny to watch. They made such crazy theories. This completely ignores naruto's actual feelings for hinata.

It was just a gimmick for pure comedy. there is zero appeal. you want naruto to be with her simply as a trophy for being a hero? people who wanted this garbage instead a loving and supportive and healthy relationship like naruhina are mad.
did you not see naruto holding hands with hinata saying it was her who was always by his side? When has he ever not been soft and kind and loving to hinata. He made an actual blood oath for her too. The way he collapsed after hinata left him, the way he proposed to hinata shows his undying love and devotion and commitment
