Top Ten Worst Danganronpa Characters

Characters can be DR1, SDR2, DR;AE or from the novel.
The Top Ten
1 Hifumi Yamada

Hifumi Yamada is very bland, he is literally just a fan fiction writer.
And when he's not bland? He's a pervert, and not the funny kind like Teruteru.

Now, Yamada can be a little funny at times. But, he is neckbeard. He draws porn for a talent.

He's just completely boring, useless character in my opinion.

2 Haiji Towa

Literal pedophile and a child abuser. Usually in this case I would like him as a villain, but that's just too much for me, sorry. And his writing wasn't even that good either.

The worst danganronpa character ever. Any DR character over Haiji Towa

Stop. Just... stop. Go away, Haji, no one loves you.

3 Himiko Yumeno

Even if Haiji is a pedophile he at least was interesting. This annoying little female dog on the other hand, never did anything interesting. She had development, but it was actually frustrating seeing this useless character transforming into Hiyoko with red hair and taking importance. At this point, I knew she wasn't going to die, and it frustrated me to no end. I got really agitated seeing likable characters dying one after the other but her staying alive. If she was JUST useless it wouldn't make her more detestable than Bandai or Akane, but on top of all she also has an extremely unpleasant and unlikable personality. She is, as I said earlier, just like Hiyoko, a bully. And we had to put up with her for 6 chapters, an entire game. A total disaster.

Why did she survive?! It pissed me off seeing good and complex characters like Rantaro, Kaito and Kokichi die while this whiny brat lives. Hiyoko (I like Hiyoko) had reasons for her actions and explains them, she's the 3rd most hated character in the series. Himiko had no reasons for her actions and I'm with Kokichi when he said she didn't care about Tenko.

4 Tsumugi Shirogane

I hate this girl so much cause she is the reason why Kaede died during the killing due to the false accusation of murdering Rantaro when killed him herself. Also I find her pretty bland and her character sucks. Plus even though she's the mastermind I know she made the killing game unfair but she's the mastermind and she can do whatever she wants.

5 Hiyoko Saionji

I honestly see so many people saying "iconic" and "she's a queen" and that really worries me. She's a bully, goes out of her way to trample crabs and squish ants, and she wasn't even that funny. Seeing her in UTDP made me upset, she was just insulting all of my favorite characters left and right. Now, don't get me wrong, maybe if she had better writing, and an actual character arc I would like her better, but she's probably one of my least favorites, second only to Haiji.

Hiyoko only exists to prove that first impressions are deceiving. If she weren't, what would explain her verbally abusing Mikan? Funny how the same person who she bullied killed her.

I hate her so much.
she loves to insult others (especially Mikan), but when someone insults her she becomes a baby
I hoped she would be executed and had a slow and painful death
Seriously, I think I've never been so happy to see someone dead, I blame Mikan for killing Ibuki, but I venerate her for killing Hiyoko
And what gives me most hatred of her, is to have discovered that she would be one of the survivors in place of Fuyuhiko, how they had in their head for even thinking about that possibility

6 Sayaka Maizono

I hate Sayaka and actually, I think she's the way to show how looks aren't everything and how first impressions are always deceiving (a.k.a a problem everyone at any age would be confused of). When she was first introduced, Naegi instantly developed a crush on her because he thought she was very "pretty" (mediocre at best :v) and that she was sharp with her intuition thing. In the games, most of the monolouges regarding her (or Naegi's weird crush on her, because sometimes It gets on my nerves) are about her lovely appearance or her amazing scent. She's also the SHSL Idol, being very popular and still a teenager and all. But now, here is when things get down:
She betrayed Naegi and tried to kill Leon although her plan backfired. She used Naegi's kindness and his feelings for her so she can kill Leon, another guy whose possibly attracted to her too and put all the blame to Naegi going as far as trying to do the whole "cute girl" act to get him to switch rooms with her. Basically, we can see Naegi's positive thoughts of her ruined carefully as the fact he nearly died scarred him for the rest of the anime/ game. And If we think of It, we can all conclude from her character that looks aren't as important as the heart. She may look pretty and all, but her heart and inner thoughts aren't instantly as pretty as her face. Another example of this kind of character is Ueno Naoka from the 'A Silent Voice' movie

7 Junko Enoshima Junko Enoshima (江ノ島 盾子 Enoshima Junko), is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, and a participant of the Killing School Life featured in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. Her title is Ultimate Fashionista/True Ultimate Despair

Okay she has her charms but there is one thing that pisses me off. She has no real motive. She just wants to plunge the world into despair because she's just an empty void inside. Give me a break. If she was so empty inside why not just save everyone's time and lives by deepthroating a shotgun.

Corrupted so many innocent people, destroyed the world, and people still like her?! She's a good villain, but not a good person.

Junko has charisma and she might not be a good person but she is a good character.

8 Mikan Tsumiki

I respect people who like her but for me, every time she spoke I got more and more irritated. Pretty much 90% of the time she was on screen she was either crying, whining, falling in compromising poses/being used for fanservice. Her trial just made me dislike her more. She was an extremely misused character and maybe if you removed the fanservice, crying + whining, crappy trial + execution, and obsession with Junko from Mikan, she would be a much more likeable character. <3

She was just fanservise.
Not even that good.
I think a nurse could have had some potential, instead of Mikan.

She's so whiny and annoying and I just couldn't stand her!

9 Akane Owari

Although I kinda like her, let's be real, her character development is mega poor. I'm surprised to see that kazuichi and sonia are on the list but not akane. She is USELESS. WITH A CAPITAL U. Kazuichi at least was useful in case 4. Sonia has that love triangle thingy going on (which I don't find particularly interesting but there are people that do) + being the only foreign character. But akane? Like Asahina and Mikan, she's just a fanservice character.

I hate seeing akane on this list. Yeah she may have been useless but she has a good backstory, shes pretty, and shes my favorite character too, its sad to see her here.

Wow, I am disappointed about this character. She exists for fan service yet survived. And then we see characters like Kazuichi Soda, Celestial Lundenburg, Leon Kuwata and Gonta Gokuhara above him?! -sigh-

10 Miu Iruma

Annoying pervert and she kept accusing people of being perverts like what? People say she sexualized only herself but she made sexual comments in front of people who weren't comfortable with. Also, the maintenance scene wasn't funny, she just did what Teruteru tried to do to Hinata in his FTEs...

This character combines the worst in Teruteru (a pervert), Hiyoko (a bully) and Mikan (the fanservice). How do people like her so much if the aforementioned characters gets so much hate for being perverts, bullies or fanservice? Just because she has breasts?

The worst are those who demonize Kokichi for bullying her and Gonta for killing her. Do you realize she directly caused everything bad that happens to her and perfectly deserves it all?

Miu is basically if Hiyoko was a pervert. Teruteru gets bashed so much for being a pervert, despite being funny (I like Teruteru) and she's loved?!

And some make Kokichi seem evil for bullying her and Gonta seem evil for killing her? Even if she caused that mess?

The Contenders
11 Byakuya Togami Byakuya Togami is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, and a participant of the Killing School Life featured in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. His title is Ultimate Affluent Progeny.

He's just a dickhead from beginning to end. It doesn't matter how much development he had, he just pisses me off.

Tell me again why he gets to live to the end?

Something's suspicious about this guy...

12 Angie Yonaga

Hate her on so many levels, I was happy when she was gone.

The only character in the series that I hate.

13 Ryota Mitarai

Not gonna lie, I am highly disappointed that he is this high. Sure, he may have been a 'bland character' and sometimes "too antisocial," but he was bullied in his childhood, making him shy. He just wanted to save the world, and too all you Chiaki fans crying "RyOtA KiLlEd My WaIfU," seriously stop attacking and blaming him. People never blame Junko, when she was the one that caused all these deaths y'all cry for. She is only loved because of her looks and how cool they think she is. Junko was the one that killed Chiaki by manipulating Ryota to do the anime. Mitarai is my favorite character in DR, so this pisses me off that he is up here. He shouldn't even be on the list.

14 Juzo Sakakura
15 Chiaki Nanami Chiaki Nanami (七海 千秋 Nanami Chiaki), is a student of Hope's Peak Academy's Class 77-B, and a participant of the Killing School Trip featured in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. Her title is Ultimate Gamer.

As many people have already said EXTREMELY BLAND. She's just boring, not interesting and kind of Mary Sue. She doesn't have any flaws, problems and even if she has one she solves it right away. It's annoying how many people consider her "the best girl", even if there are so many characters better than her. Kyoko was portrayed a lot better and unlike Chiaki has flaws. So many characters are a lot better in DR2 and I just really don't like this girl. Sure, some people say that she's kind and sweet, caring, loving etc. But it's the same thing, one personality trait. Her flaws? Her fans say, that "She has problems adapting to other humans and she's socially awkward" and despite that she still became everyone's best friend in DR3 and even became class rep. Now an conclusion: I hate her, she's really boring and doesn't deserve all that attention, that she gets.

I quite liked her in the second game, but mostly because of her kind personality, not because of her interesting character. She was pretty bland and even characters that died earlier like the Imposter were more interesting than she was. I admit that in ch5 I found her somewhat more interesting with the reveal of her being an AI... But that's it. Her FTES were boring, even those of Teruteru or Hiyoko helped giving depth to them and learning things about them, Chiaki's were just ship bait (not as much as Kaede's though) and pretty boring. In the anime though I hate her. The qualities she had in the game that made me like her, such as her kindness, were barely present? It seemed like all the class started loving her for no reason after she did one small things for them and suddenly they'd fall to despair for her... And she was super uncaring with Hajime, never cared about his feelings but only her little video games, this is one reason I started hating Hinanami, I'm pretty indifferent to them in the game (far from liking it though, but not hate either) but the anime... Ugh.

16 Nagito Komaeda Nagito Komaeda (狛枝 凪斗 Komaeda Nagito), is a student of Hope's Peak Academy's Class 77-B, and a participant of the Killing School Trip featured in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. His title is Ultimate Lucky Student.

He was such a creep and made me feel really uncomfortable. I did not trust him and did not want him around. His character concept was very creative but he was a terrible person whose twisted beliefs put everyone's life in danger multiple times. If I were on the island with him, I'd tie him up and throw him in the old lodge as well.

I never thought anyone was worse than Junko Enoshima. But then came this over exaggerated Naegi clone who was more evil and sadistic than helpful.

Nasty whipped cream boy. he can go live in a blender with his bagels for all I care, just get him out of my sight.

17 Yasuhiro Hagakure

I voted for him only to comment. He's sadly underrated. I feel like more people should like him. He may not be my favorite character ever, but he's far from my least favorite!

I HATED the fact he survived, literally ANYONE else could've survived, even Hifumi! At least he was (sometimes) helpful!

Too boring for a survivor, and didn't do much.

18 Teruteru Hanamura Teruteru Hanamura (花村 輝々 Hanamura Teruteru), is a student of Hope's Peak Academy's Class 77-B, and a participant of the Killing School Trip featured in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. His title is Ultimate Cook.

The fact that people hate Hifumi more than him is idiotic to me. Hifumi's just horny sometimes, but Teru literally attempted to drug and r4pe Hajime.

I find him really annoying and disgusting! I was so happy that he got executed in the first chapter!

He was literally just in the game to be a tutorial and to get eliminated right away.

19 Maki Harukawa

Well she was fine, not my favorite but fine, until V3-5. Went against everyone, shot both Kaito and Kokichi, then tried to get everyone killed because SHE screwed up. I don't feel sympathy because she did all for "the person she likes" either, especially since she almost ended up causing his death with her recklessness (she basically did, only he was also sick and his sickness got him first).

An easy way to fix it? Keep everything the same but make a point that the other characters don't trust her after this. A few characters in the series (including Maki herself) pointed out you can't trust someone without doubting them first, yet Kaito trusted her blindly and Saihara went along with it despite being a detective, neither of them had actual reasons to trust her. So make it a point, that they (Saihara and Kaito) trusted her way too easily without doubt and it ended up backfiring on (especially Saihara, because Kaito would be dead) because some people just aren't trustworthy.

20 Kotoko Utsugi
21 Touko Fukawa

I'm sorry to the people who like Touko'a character but I just don't. Shes always squealing over Byakuya and never cares about anyone else. Also shes too quick to accuse someone of being the culprit, I just really dislike her :/

So annoying. I wish she didn't survive.

Trash, enough said.

22 Kokichi Oma

For the people who hate him because he got Miu killed: You realize she tried to kill him first... Right? Or are you too blinded by her breasts?

Every time I see his stupid face I bang my fkng head on the table! I hate him so much! He should've died in chapter 2 instead of Ryoma!

Gets miu, gonta, and kaito killed and people like him?
looks like a purple booger that deserves to be smeared on a napkin

23 Kaede Akamatsu

Annoying. I don't hate her because of what she did but her personality is annoying. She's forceful and bossy and everybody worships her. Her death was as sad as Hanamura's: Sad, but finally the annoying character would be gone. And no, bringing her up the entire game didn't make me care about her more. I only made me like her less. Also she's a pervert and uncomfortably forceful in the love suite which only confirms that she's NDRV3's version of Teruteru Hanamura. If I hate Hanamura (I do) then I don't see why I should love her. Also I don't care about her main ship which seems to be the main reason to love her (if not, why were her FTES so Saimatsu centric?). Their personalities clash in a bad way, she needs to learn to respect boundaries before even be considered as a possible love interest for him, and her entrusting her final wish to him and him alone isn't romantic, she's putting further pressure on a traumatized teenager. And since the ship's fans only defense is calling people Saiouma fangirls, I'd like to clarify that I dislike Saiouma too. Objectively it ranks slightly above Saimatsu because Ouma respected Saihara's boundaries in the love suite, but it's not much better.

24 Tenko Chabashira

She was obsessive over Himiko and tried to follow her to the bathroom, asked to spit on her face, and many more actions like that, and continued to act like that even when Himiko told her to stop.

Extremely gullible and stupid too, considering in her FTEs she actually believed when her master said that "men drain her power". I know not all characters need to have a tragic backstory, but when you hate an entire gender and want said gender to die, that's pretty overboard.

The only time I liked her was when she was giving Himiko advice by saying that she should express her emotions more and kickstarting Himiko's character development.

She's just a crappy character.

Tenko is such an annoying character. People praise her for being a "good character", how is hating one entire gender and wanting them to die BECAUSE your master told you once to not be near men being a "good character"? Even Gonta isn't that stupid... I hate sexism in all its forms, and this girl is not exception. I was so glad when she was killed off.

25 Ultimate Imposter

Never liked the twist that Fat Togami was an imposter. Felt like a massive cop out and a cheap way to get an emotional reaction at the start of the game, especially seeing as he changed so much for the better since DR1.

Twist was too obvious
