i’m really not mad at Astro Boy being on the list, he was a pretty solid character. robot made in the image of his creator’s son grappling with his senses of self and purpose.
this should be about the character, and how they are written not about impact, otherwise like goku would be 1, and idk if alot of people would be ok with that.
@@SadBirbHourswhat’s wrong with the list I think the characters picked are fairly nuanced and complex not to mention very interesting isn’t that something you’d want plenty of in a list like this
Thorfinn not being on the list is the biggest L. Imo, he’s is one of the greatest written protagonists in manga. His development throughout the series is just phenomenal.
Tbf characters like Griffith have not been given a very good anime adaptation (even if I love the 90s berserk series), and characters such as Thorfinn are still developing within their shows. Remember this is an Anime list rather than Anime and Manga.
Those that do not know who is Kenshin, imagine Thorfinn from Vinland Saga, but in 1800's Japan. Former child soldier/assassin makes vow of pacifism and wants to live in peace, but his past constantly drags him back to path of violence. I would highly recommend the series, but due the actions of the author...i can't
Man Kenshin was on my Watch List for so long, now i regret not watching it before because even if I watch it now, the actions of the author will stay in the back of my mind which probably will hinder my enjoyment of the series
@@hei7846 I would still say that atlest the baddass OVA episode, is worth a watch (about Kenshin's past and more serious in tone). Just look it from internet so the author wont get a penny
@@perkeletto640 yeah i know that the anime is probably amazing which is why I regret not watching it before all the shit came out. Now it will always be on the back of my mind while watching it
I'm still working my way through the anime and manga but even then, I almost fell out of my chair when I saw him at #16. Seriously, that is a non-ironic shit take. Even my non-anime watching friends know who Guts is, smh.....
I think ppl in IGN only know mainstreams anime and they start the character polling from there. Not from best character writing but from how popular the title is and then pick the most recognizable character from the franchise with occasional brilliant pick like Lupin the 3rd & Johan from Monster. *Face Palm*

Dragon ball and Goku is by no means the best anime/ character, but I wish people rewatched it in Japanese to fully appreciate how magical it actually is
@@akken_0 dawg, Gintama's populary is literally in the perfect place. For example, Big 3 and Dragon Ball's popularity is both a blessing and a curse. Can't have someone appreciate Big 3 and DB without others throwing negative opinions about them. Especially because they're mainstream. Gintama slightly gets the blessing without the curse. You can literally see lots of praises about Gintama but because it's not as famous as Big 3 and DB, it doesn't get the negative energy.
Frankly I am surprised that he was surprised Johan, Spike, and Edward ended up high on the list in a list that started with Vash, Dio, Lulu, and Light, its like heading up the 2000s edgyfan's list of badasses lol (except Vash and Ed, they are cool). Luffy edging it out is indicative of One Piece's recent surge in the past few years, just like HunterxHunter and Jojo was relatively niche in the scene back in the day, but the past 7 years has been quite the pickup.
U are a kid if u think light and lelouch are edgy They both are realistic sociopath And are the two best written character not typical average wannabe nice character

The algo: "For content, pretend to be shocked that a 'Best Character' list is anything other than a straight-up popularity contest." Our man: "Easily done."
There's no Okabe, Eren/Erwin, Askeladd/Thorfinn, Gilgamesh/Kirei/Kiritsugu, Ichigo/Aizen, Mob/Reigen, Hisoka, Gintoki/Kagura, Megumin/Kazuma, Koro-Sensei, Saiki Kusuo, Saitama, Gojou, Onizuka or THE gigachad Alucard???? Wtf is this list man??
KAKASHI DOESN'T BELONG ON THE LIST OF MOST ICONIC ANIME CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME? Brother. BROTHER. Kakashi is the Metallica of badass anime mentors. He's the OG of aloof power. He's the Michael Jordan of ninjas. He's what everyone started with, what everyone fantasized about, and what everything returns to, in anime. I don't understand Garnt at all, sometimes.
”If he was one of the main characters in naruto ” it clearly has been a long time since he fibnished naruto or he didnt finish the story at all since the storys most inportant character thematically or arguably the protagonist of the story isnt ” one of the main characters ”😊
I love gigguk and I haven’t seen naruto in a long time either but honestly his reaction to Kakashi being their baffled me. Kakashi is one of Naruto’s best characters, has been through a lot of tragedy, and is a character that has been analyzed pretty throughly. For him to just call him a “cool guy” is like WTF
Biggest L is not including Sakata Gintoki, Thornfinn or Askeladd and including Levi instead of Eren and putting guts in 16th position and giving Luffy number 1 position.
I am a die hard one piece fan but nah luffy is not the greatest anime character , there are way better. OP brilliance is the world building and character but luffy is not the best written of all time
@@koong3097 fine if you think that way, just saying a lot of anime protagonist are better in character development in my thinking. I still love luffy and one piece the most.
2:26:03 Dr Slump was one of my childhood anime in Malaysia. It was always aired before Dragon Ball in the morning, so I always watched it when I can haha.
Some of the greatest character for me: Onizuka (GTO) : This guy shaped me up during my teen juvenile year to what I am today, so he is definitely up on top 3 for me Lelouch (Code Geass) : despite the messy pacing, he is very memorable because of his triple persona, the plot twist that affects him, his awesome dynamic with Suzaku and the best ending in anime. The first anime to make my cry and got me into mecha. Another top 3 for me. Rudeus (Mushoku Tensei) : The character that kind of making me think deep on some things like life redemptions and relationship (eg. Questionable casts, family themes, Grey areas). Also the series that drag me back into book reading world (LN especially) and started reading again after a long time (last I read was Harry Potter novel). At the very least, I will never forget these trio, maybe for the rest of my life.
I think goku , luffg and naruto deserves to be in list since this list just says top 25 but they didn't specify in what terms ( ie in terms of iconicness or what ) and these 3 character are one of the most iconic anime characters of all time
@@batrex_ i never said best or anything The title just says top 25 so that's about it ( so even iconicness must be considered and these 3 are in top of the food chain when it comes to iconicness )
@@LshowKnows yeah but i believe only because of that logic guts is lower since Berserk anime is a complete ruin ( dont think about manga here ) So guts in anime is not that iconic or amazing as guts from manga And i believe tanjiro was above Zoro because a one piece character was already given number 1 position so i believe that's why they choose to have him above Zoro since a one piece character was already given such a high position
@@joefredlin5018 I don't think it's really fair to separate the manga in this list, and still they were showing Guts from the original anime which is pretty iconic. Also Popular doesn't necessarily mean iconic, Monster isn't as popular as some animes in there but it's writing and antagonist are really iconic and influenced a lot of works, just like Berserk
Seems like this IGN list is based on what is popular in America, so obviously Dragonball and naruto is going to be there with some classics well known in America (cowboy bebop, Ghost in the shell, etc) and then they top it off with what is most popular (demon slayer, one piece, attack on titan).
I'll just say Vegeta inspired alot of the rival characters that we see in shonen shows. They aren't direct copies of vegeta but their are aspects of him in some of the rival characters.
It's a shame because the umineko anime is so bad that it doesn't have any characters. One of the best VN's with some of the best characters that deserves a good adaptation one day
Grant u just went to the list directly without seeing the specifics They gave the croteria for this list ( to put it simply the criteria basically says iconic) So its more of a iconic list so these characters deserve their place here ( Thats why a bleech character should be hwre )
I love few of the comments are talking about his stellar performance as restless vaGRANT in hsr. It gives me critical's massive role in hunger games vibe
this season looking good vinland been peak , HD been great , hells paradise looks fun , demon slayer i mean its kinda ok for now ,dr stone been good .....
This list misses a key point, mostly focusing on the iconic status of characters instead of the way they are written. So I'd happily see the likes of Askeladd, Joe Yabuki, Oscar de Jarjayes, Char Aznable, Raoh, Yu Ishigami, Tohru Honda, Justy Ueki Tylor and Kenzo Tenma appear instead.
I know people think luffy is just basically like Goku Yea a bit But there's alot more to his character that's just one part of it. I can see luffy on top in shonen genre
1:22:54 Tanjiro embodies more of a flat character archetype in the same way like sonic the hedgehog is and why I like that way about him and think gigguk is just take the time to think about ok you don’t vibe with this character isn’t it not an opportunity to challenge your perspective to see WHY people like me love this character that deserves a spot on the list because I can make a video on why he’s simple but go on to why he’s simple and why it works
The list is supposed to be about greatest CHARACTERS, though. A flat character is not a great character on their own; almost by definition. Which is how this list (ostensibly) should be looking at him.
The only character in this list that suprised me was Johan 🎉🎉🎉 bruh THAT DUDE is scary as shit and super disturbing and I love him for that, about the rest, I wish Guts is way higher, I'm not really a fan of anime characters with muscles etc buts Guts, damn! He's more than that. About the Captain being in No. 1 .. he's iconic that's true, BUT ... Errrr he's not the greatest and we all know that, but yeah.. there's no O or O.1 so let the Pirate King sit on the throne for now 😂 PS I wish Taguro is on the list lol 😂 to mess with us a lot more, instead of repeating the same series with different characters, nah whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A pretty normie shonen-heavy hipster list with some edgy incoherent placements and plenty of characters from shows they likely didn't watch or simply forgot about (Bleach, YYH, Re:Zero, Stein's Gate, Vinland Saga??).
IGN always has the most basic picks, mostly from shonen characters with a sprinkle of shojo and seinen, even though we know that most of these anime they probably haven't even watched, if any at all.
not even a sprinkle of shojo, a drop. and yet there is room for tanjiro & duplicates. its obvious these writers think girl targeted shows < guy targeted ones
You can't win with these lists without saying its your opinion. People would complain that some nobody made it onto the list instead of one of their favourites.
you don't remember about major because you forget not because major is weaker character than people think. you people would be angry but i think she can be placed higher rank by her fans than some of most favourite characters.
This is a best character list. Of course there can be more than one character per anime. This is a dumb take. This list is pretty mid tho, but Goku isn’t very heroic, it was just the localization, and he just likes to fight. Read the manga Garnt, it is one of the best comics I’ve read. I feel like Attack on Titan character didn’t become great until halfway through the series.
Everyone in the anime community has got to be zoomers nowadays because my brain literally stopped when chat had no idea on who Lupin the 3rd is. You call yourselves anime fans when do you don’t even know legacy characters.. 😏

Happy to see Luffy, Zoro, Vash the Stampede make the list. Would've loved to see Gintoki & Onizuka sensei on list.
1:05:26 This sounds like me finding out how old a JoJo character is
Rewatching just to see his reactions to one of the anime characters list of time again 😃
26:40 Garnt giving Senku a run for his money for world's fastest divorce
Went from Domestic Girlfriend to just domestic REALLY quickly.
How is eren not on this list based on the skew towards popularity? Character arcs must mean something, right?
Thats because anime fans hate Eren and this list was meant to appease anime fans. Failed either way.
When it was revealed that there might be more than 1 char per francise I was like "okay eren is top 5 then for sure"
Why do they hate him?
A lot lot people like eren. You are just the one hates him loser
There's no Okabe, Eren/Erwin, Askeladd/Thorfinn, Gilgamesh/Kirei/Kiritsugu, Ichigo/Aizen, Mob/Reigen, Hisoka, Gintoki/Kagura, Megumin/Kazuma, Koro-Sensei, Saiki Kusuo, Saitama, Gojou, Onizuka or THE gigachad Alucard???? Wtf is this list man??
Alucard is mid. I think the biggest missing link is Char Aznable
Garnt impersonating L must become either an ooc meme or just memed over
Guguuk have a very good personal relationship with demon slayer 😂😂!!
KAKASHI DOESN'T BELONG ON THE LIST OF MOST ICONIC ANIME CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME? Brother. BROTHER. Kakashi is the Metallica of badass anime mentors. He's the OG of aloof power. He's the Michael Jordan of ninjas. He's what everyone started with, what everyone fantasized about, and what everything returns to, in anime.
I don't understand Garnt at all, sometimes.
”If he was one of the main characters in naruto ” it clearly has been a long time since he fibnished naruto or he didnt finish the story at all since the storys most inportant character thematically or arguably the protagonist of the story isnt ” one of the main characters ”😊
I love gigguk and I haven’t seen naruto in a long time either but honestly his reaction to Kakashi being their baffled me. Kakashi is one of Naruto’s best characters, has been through a lot of tragedy, and is a character that has been analyzed pretty throughly. For him to just call him a “cool guy” is like WTF
Biggest L is not including Sakata Gintoki, Thornfinn or Askeladd and including Levi instead of Eren and putting guts in 16th position and giving Luffy number 1 position.
I was with you until you disagreed with THE GOAT WITH THE COAT being number 1. That’s the king for heavens sake
I am a die hard one piece fan but nah luffy is not the greatest anime character , there are way better. OP brilliance is the world building and character but luffy is not the best written of all time
@@sangaydukpa8970 Luffy best character of all time
@@koong3097 fine if you think that way, just saying a lot of anime protagonist are better in character development in my thinking. I still love luffy and one piece the most.
@@sangaydukpa8970 It is not allways about character development it is about your enjoyment and how the character effect the story
2:26:03 Dr Slump was one of my childhood anime in Malaysia. It was always aired before Dragon Ball in the morning, so I always watched it when I can haha.
Some of the greatest character for me:
Onizuka (GTO) : This guy shaped me up during my teen juvenile year to what I am today, so he is definitely up on top 3 for me
Lelouch (Code Geass) : despite the messy pacing, he is very memorable because of his triple persona, the plot twist that affects him, his awesome dynamic with Suzaku and the best ending in anime. The first anime to make my cry and got me into mecha. Another top 3 for me.
Rudeus (Mushoku Tensei) : The character that kind of making me think deep on some things like life redemptions and relationship (eg. Questionable casts, family themes, Grey areas). Also the series that drag me back into book reading world (LN especially) and started reading again after a long time (last I read was Harry Potter novel).
At the very least, I will never forget these trio, maybe for the rest of my life.
lol FMA constantly throwing Garnt off in the quizzes
I think goku , luffg and naruto deserves to be in list since this list just says top 25 but they didn't specify in what terms ( ie in terms of iconicness or what ) and these 3 character are one of the most iconic anime characters of all time
Most iconic doesn't mean best
@@batrex_ i never said best or anything
The title just says top 25 so that's about it ( so even iconicness must be considered and these 3 are in top of the food chain when it comes to iconicness )
That's true, but at the same time if you follow that logic you can't really have someone like Tanjiro be above Zoro and Guts
@@LshowKnows yeah but i believe only because of that logic guts is lower since
Berserk anime is a complete ruin ( dont think about manga here )
So guts in anime is not that iconic or amazing as guts from manga
And i believe tanjiro was above Zoro because a one piece character was already given number 1 position so i believe that's why they choose to have him above Zoro since a one piece character was already given such a high position
@@joefredlin5018 I don't think it's really fair to separate the manga in this list, and still they were showing Guts from the original anime which is pretty iconic. Also Popular doesn't necessarily mean iconic, Monster isn't as popular as some animes in there but it's writing and antagonist are really iconic and influenced a lot of works, just like Berserk
Just got to top 3 and I have a predictable 2 will be ichigo and 1 will be luffy
Edit I was wrong and I guess I’m happy about it
Imagine not having Okabi Rintarou on this list 💀
Okabe, Makise, and Suzuha all deserve a spot in the top 25 ong
1:30:14 I am just so happy, that someone has something good to say about my beloved Kenshin
I literally watch the whole thing, Im dissapointed that Kirito isnt on the list
Why do so many people hate Shinji, he's probably the only realistic 14 year old in anime
That's probably why.
Ichigo not making even #25 is kinda crazy to me
2:45:04 2:46:11 the most visible brain blast
Seems like this IGN list is based on what is popular in America, so obviously Dragonball and naruto is going to be there with some classics well known in America (cowboy bebop, Ghost in the shell, etc) and then they top it off with what is most popular (demon slayer, one piece, attack on titan).
I'll just say Vegeta inspired alot of the rival characters that we see in shonen shows. They aren't direct copies of vegeta but their are aspects of him in some of the rival characters.
There have been shows long before dragonball z with characters like vegeta that have similar traits as him
@@desmondgovender3142 None as popular or as trend setting.
*Johan Liberty is underrated as hell*
“Especially if we’re talking about the OG trigun” so the superior version?
I can't believe they left Gintoki off this list
yeah hes easily top 5
Names ..
Koro sensei (assassination cr.)
Vivi (fluorite eyes song)
Revy (black lagoon)
Conan/shinichi
Hyakimaru (Dororo)
Were there any romance protagonists? Like nagatoro or shirugane/fujiwara
Saiki
Squealer (Shinsekai Yori)
Violet
Suzumiya
Uncle?
Almight
From demon slayer: nezuko?
Aizen
It's a shame because the umineko anime is so bad that it doesn't have any characters. One of the best VN's with some of the best characters that deserves a good adaptation one day
Someone has never heard of uzumaki sushi...
Glad to have grant around when monke is having a break
Grant u just went to the list directly without seeing the specifics
They gave the croteria for this list ( to put it simply the criteria basically says iconic)
So its more of a iconic list so these characters deserve their place here
( Thats why a bleech character should be hwre )
Guts at 16 is insane
Anime
I mean it would be if this is a manga list.
I love few of the comments are talking about his stellar performance as restless vaGRANT in hsr. It gives me critical's massive role in hunger games vibe
this season looking good vinland been peak , HD been great , hells paradise looks fun , demon slayer i mean its kinda ok for now ,dr stone been good .....
This list misses a key point, mostly focusing on the iconic status of characters instead of the way they are written. So I'd happily see the likes of Askeladd, Joe Yabuki, Oscar de Jarjayes, Char Aznable, Raoh, Yu Ishigami, Tohru Honda, Justy Ueki Tylor and Kenzo Tenma appear instead.
Yes to Joe Yabuki
This is the best character list, which being iconic is an important factor.
Demon slayer has the blandest characters in modern shonen. I can't believe someone would put any character on a list like that lmaoo
I know people think luffy is just basically like Goku
Yea a bit
But there's alot more to his character that's just one part of it.
I can see luffy on top in shonen genre
Come on. Luffy is just not the best Shonen Character. He's just not.
Characters like Lelouch and Light are too low.
1:22:54 Tanjiro embodies more of a flat character archetype in the same way like sonic the hedgehog is and why I like that way about him and think gigguk is just take the time to think about ok you don’t vibe with this character isn’t it not an opportunity to challenge your perspective to see WHY people like me love this character that deserves a spot on the list because I can make a video on why he’s simple but go on to why he’s simple and why it works
The list is supposed to be about greatest CHARACTERS, though. A flat character is not a great character on their own; almost by definition. Which is how this list (ostensibly) should be looking at him.
L , Lelouch and Levi are some of my fav anime characters of all time
they cut char "lalah sune was a woman who could've been like a mother to me" aznable for fucking naruto at number 3, i cant
Eren should have been there man 🤧!!
Guts might not be as iconic, but he's still best boy to me...
I want to watch Trigun, should I watch the remake or the original first?
I watch the remake and it's fucking amazing IDK about the original let me add another thing it's not a remake it's prequel to the original trigun
Lelouch is super low bro literally brought us the finest ending of all anime, he's way better personality than Light too
I guess both are say but shows different emotions
But both light and lelouch should be in top 5
The Guts placement was the nail in the coffin
The only character in this list that suprised me was Johan 🎉🎉🎉 bruh THAT DUDE is scary as shit and super disturbing and I love him for that, about the rest, I wish Guts is way higher, I'm not really a fan of anime characters with muscles etc buts Guts, damn! He's more than that. About the Captain being in No. 1 .. he's iconic that's true, BUT ... Errrr he's not the greatest and we all know that, but yeah.. there's no O or O.1 so let the Pirate King sit on the throne for now 😂
PS I wish Taguro is on the list lol 😂 to mess with us a lot more, instead of repeating the same series with different characters, nah whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
57:42 Garnt's sad thinking face.
Onizuka, Gintoki, Joe Yabuki should be on any great anime character list
why isn't the spring anime vod not up yet :((
no kiritsugu emiya is crazy
Meruem is literally a bootleg version of Cell ..... Cell was the original PERFECT being.
no ash forever 10 y.o?
no okabe rintarou (aka the mad scientist hououin kyouma?)
.
This list is L. Lin Xue Ya from Thunderbolt Fantasy is the best character.
A pretty normie shonen-heavy hipster list with some edgy incoherent placements and plenty of characters from shows they likely didn't watch or simply forgot about (Bleach, YYH, Re:Zero, Stein's Gate, Vinland Saga??).
You just dropped 3 of my top 5 anime. Rezero Bleach and Stein's Gate. Respect.🤣👍
Hail Emperor Lelouch!
Yessir ! But he should have easily been top 15-10
@@Mojj2099he should be in top 5 bro because he as a character is so much different just like light
@@adityannair6823 oh I agree 100% Lelouch is my my favorite and light is also one of the best.
@@Mojj2099 ironically mine too
I prefer both of them how similar yet how different they are
26:53 Live Garnt & Sydney fighting 🤣
IGN always has the most basic picks, mostly from shonen characters with a sprinkle of shojo and seinen, even though we know that most of these anime they probably haven't even watched, if any at all.
not even a sprinkle of shojo, a drop. and yet there is room for tanjiro & duplicates.
its obvious these writers think girl targeted shows < guy targeted ones
You can't win with these lists without saying its your opinion. People would complain that some nobody made it onto the list instead of one of their favourites.
Bruh that shadow anime is good asf !! The talk at 19 min mark
These are kinda ok pick, but Zorro and Vash being there feels wrong
The tittle just says top 25 so u dont know is it in terms of iconicness or whatever
So i dont think one can be mad at this list
Why is Naruto so hated as a top of all time? Easily top 3 of all time
i don't even like shounen that much but no bleach characters in the top 25 is crazy
Which characters from Bleach would you put on this list?
@@madmanmit2618 definitely aizen and a more personal pick would be ulquiorra
Most bleach character is bland, aizen is different tho, Ichigo is mid and other mc from bleach is mid
What is the website he was using for quiz?
you don't remember about major because you forget not because major is weaker character than people think. you people would be angry but i think she can be placed higher rank by her fans than some of most favourite characters.
This is a best character list. Of course there can be more than one character per anime. This is a dumb take. This list is pretty mid tho, but Goku isn’t very heroic, it was just the localization, and he just likes to fight. Read the manga Garnt, it is one of the best comics I’ve read.
I feel like Attack on Titan character didn’t become great until halfway through the series.
No Gintoki - Mid List
sakata gintoki from gintama is the best character in anime change my mind
Yes more anime content from Garnt
Everyone in the anime community has got to be zoomers nowadays because my brain literally stopped when chat had no idea on who Lupin the 3rd is. You call yourselves anime fans when do you don’t even know legacy characters.. 😏
