History CharacterGush / AnimeAndManga

** TSUKUNE F---ING AONO. The nicest guy in any manga that I read. He is always friendly and willing to help those in trouble. Even though he has brutal powers, he still will fight on even if it kills him. This guy deserves all the love his harem brings him and is one of the most underated badasses being printed now awadays.

** [[ActionGirl Lan Fan]] / [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Ran Fan]]. Her HeroicSacrifice... She's just great! Her loyalty towards her Lord is without bounds, [[spoiler: she cut off her arm just to lure King Bradley away from them!]]

* ''Manga/BGataHKei'': Mami Misato is...so...freaking...[[http://img101.animecharactersdatabase.com:81/uploads/1-1035940674.png CUTE!!!]] She's always smiling and full of energy; it's hard not to like how [[GenkiGirl peppy and upbeat she is]]. Overall, she seems like a delightful person to be around.]

* ''Manga/FutureDiary'': Yuno Gasai. AxeCrazy BadassAdorable CuteAndPsycho [[EvilIsSexy Drop Dead Sexy]] {{Yandere}} extraordinaire, and one of the few of her archetype who manages to be a MagnificentBastard ''and'' the {{Deuteragonist}}, not to mention TheWoobie.

* ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'': Eikichi Onizuka, [[CatchPhrase 22 years old,]] is THE MAN. If this [[LovableSexManiac perverted]] and [[CoolLoser idiotic]] [[{{Delinquent}}. Just to see what wild hi-jinks he'd be cooking up next. And she'd totally trust him with her life, too!

** May Chang is a cute, [[PrincessesPreferPink pink wearing princess]] who's incredibly [[BadassAdorable badass]] despite being one of the youngest characters. With her awesome martial arts and alkahestry skills, she's far from being the TagalongKid or TheLoad, but is well written enough to avoid being TheScrappy or a Sue. Plus she has an adorable [[PandaingToTheAudience pet panda]]?

** LovableSexManiac France, for being an [[LargeHam overly dramatic]] [[DepravedBisexual depraved]] [[AnythingThatMoves manwhore]] with an epic laugh. [[SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound Hon-hon-hon-hon!]]

** Yamato is competent, clever, hilariously [[TheComicallySerious unfunny]], and an adorably friendly ''[[SenpaiKohai kouhai]]'' to Kakashi. Also, he just so happens to be quite the badass; his special technique can pretty much tell your SealedEvilInACan to shut up and play nice.

** Nia takes the Princess Archetype and injects it with new life through adorable charisma and throughly thought-out idiosyncrasies. Her [[{{Keigo}} unique speech]], [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} screwy thought-process]] and way of interacting with the world is just so charming that you can't help but love her. She is not only {{Moe}}, she is [[TheWoobie HONESTLY moe]], not to mention that she ''defines'' PluckyGirl by being so HotBlooded while being a GirlyGirl at the same time.

** [[EyesAlwaysShut Gin]] [[PsychoticSmirk Ichimaru]]. Incredibly badass, HILARIOUS, and over all simply epic... with his eyes shut! There are a lot of characters who say they can kick your ass with one hand behind their back and their eyes closed, but this guy actually does it! [[PerverseSexualLust (And manages to look absolutely gorgeous while doing so...)]] Gin is probably one of the least serious denizens of Hueco Mundo- Watching the [[{{Omake}} "Arrancar Encyclopedia" segments]] makes me want to glomp him until the world explodes from too much glomp energy being used.

* After her character development in Capo 2 of ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'', Kurumu is my favorite member of the UnwantedHarem. Sure Moka is the "preferred" one but all she does is beat up Tsukune. Kurumu on the other hand has the SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome of the entire series when she ''unhesitatingly'' leaps out the window to save Mizore from her suicide attempt. (The same Mizore that Kurumu is constantly fighting with over Tsukune.) Then holds her as she cries out how scared she was during the attempted rape. Then she agonizes over how she feels like she's secondary to everyone else in the [[UnwantedHarem newspaper club]], and she hasn't been able to spend time with Tsukune, thus turning into my favorite {{Woobie}}. All of this and ''she's a succubus'', an incarnation of seduction, and going against her very nature to try to stay true to Tsukune. It turns out that she is filled with so much love that it hurts, and she has to hide it behind her GenkiGirl exterior. Meanwhile Moka is still beating up Tsukune. He's such an idiot. (Yes, ok, fine, so [[PerverseSexualLust I have a crush on a manga character]]. I'm sure it's not the first time.)

** Mikuru because she pretty much started off the ''entire story'' by having Kyon do the John Smith incident. Time travel is confusing, but it's awesome, especially when it's Mikuru using it. she's destined to become the bigest [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] in the series.

** It's also worth noting, that the definition of a vampire has grown to become ''very'' loose. Some involve people with capes who reside in the darkness. Some involve stone masks that turn people into BodyHorror personified. Some involve... [[Literature/{{Twilight}} people]] [[EpicFail WHO SPARKLE IN THE SUNLIGHT?!]] No, no, no. Alucard is ''his own'' definition of a vampire, while still remaining true to the original. He's utterly terrifying. He's the type of vampire where, if you tried to hug him, he's rip you to shreds without even thinking. In fact, you wouldn't even want to hug him, just ask Luke Valentine.

*** And then, she gains more confidence during the Fourth Great Shinobi War especially after [[spoiler: Neji's death]] where she gets Naruto out of his HeroicBSOD by reminding him of ''their'' Nindo. Back then, this, as well as the Pain confession, makes me think that if Naruto ends up with her, I would buy all the Naruto Mangas from there no matter how it goes off the deep end. [[spoiler: [[TheyDo Better start using my wallet!]]]]

* Accelerator from ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex''. It'd be very difficult with someone of his powers and abilities to not become a story breaking power, but they pull it off well. Another impressive thing is when Touma first knocks some sense into him, he took what was probably the first time in a VERY long time of feeling pain and getting the crap beat out of him rather well and despite being a squishy wizard manages to take lots and lots of abuse to his body when his attack reflector is destroyed. He also is pretty good at staying calm in hostage situations such as deducing that Khiara didn't kill Last Order by TAUNTING him in what Khiara originally sent a call to try to break him.

** Konata has a great personality and voice, is cute, and extremely endearing. Konata is SO freakingly awesome, she should dethrone [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi]] and become the new goddess!

* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'':

* ''LightNovel/{{Toradora}}'''s Minori Kushieda. If there is one anime character who is NEVER boring to be around (apart from Haruhi) and can steal entire episodes with one well-placed antic, it's her.

* The main cast of ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}''. [[ChaoticNeutral Lina Inverse.]] [[LovableTraitor Xelloss.]] [[IdiotHero Gourry.]]

* ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'': Ryougi Shiki is a crazy, insane, beautiful, murderous, intelligent, insightful, and surprisingly ''compassionate'' woman who can kill anything and is made of win, love, and God [[spoiler:literally]]. The end.
** And Kokutou Azaka, a [[Franchise/{{Nasuverse}} Nasu]]-class tactical [[BigBrotherAttraction imouto]]-type {{tsundere}}, is the most awesome aspect of ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' after Shiki herself.

* ''Every character of ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}''''. Well, not Szilard. Or [[ButtMonkey Dallas]]. Still, they're wacky and different from characters you usually see, and just make me smile. Take Isaac and Miria for example, two robbers who try to steal time (watches) and history (a museum, though they couldn't carry it so instead stole the entrance so no one else could go in) all while wearing awesome costumes. Then there's Claire, a young and perky train conductor who is an [[BadassNormal acrobat assassin]] willing to do [[{{Determinator}} anything]] to protect his train.

* ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'':

* Anyone agrees that Momonga/Ainz Ooal Gown from ''LightNovel/{{Overlord}}'' is exceptionally awesome? He is a pretty fresh and interesting take on the old ­"trapped in video game" formula. [[CurbStompBattle He kicks]] [[TheAce everyone's ass]], [[ShowyInvincibleHero but is never boring while doing so]]. He is a VillainProtagonist who is '''actually competent''' and avoids doing stuff ForTheEvulz. Despite the villainy, he manages to remain relatable due to his personal issues and his heartwarming relationships with his servants who all consider him as TheGoodKing to them (for good reason, too!) Did I mention that he is a badass [[DemBones skeletal]] {{Lich}}? Did I mention that he can make someone's heart explode remotely? Did I mention that giant angels of doom just make him facepalm? '''How badass is that?'''

*** The universe has yet to invent a depression strong enough that cannot be cured by Chiyo in a [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins penguin suit]].

** Kyouya. TallDarkAndHandsome and a {{Chessmaster}}. Oh and [[HoYay secretly cares a lot about Tamaki]].

* ''Manga/BlackButler's'' Sebastian. A badass Demon BattleButler, with that... that [[PsychoticSmirk smile]] of a MagnificentBastard, also a provider of [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Awesome]] [[DisneyDeath Disney Deaths]] who can make removing a tablecloth look cool. Also constantly reminds he is first of all a demon to the very core, and every time he does, it is a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, an evil version of one but neitherless ''awesome''. Because, you see, [[CatchPhrase he is simply one hell of a butler.]]

* Zelik Lindemann in ''Manga/MotherKeeper'' cause this man is the biggest sweetheart, even if he has done some horrible stuff. In his late 20s-early 30s he lost an ear, an eye and an arm because [[spoiler: a man he thought was his friend kidnapped and tortured him]]. A month later, when he
got out the hospital, he [[spoiler: returned to work, rebuilding everything that had been destroyed. He had said he didn't want to do it, especially cause he didn't want to put everyone in danger if the guy tried to attack him again, but when everyone who worked there came begging him, he couldn't say no.]] In Syal's backstory it mentions that [[spoiler: due to Syal worrying about Elsa and the orphans, Zelik gave them his blood and promised to protect them. He said if he ever sold them out, or just plain sold them, he would let Syal kill him]]. While it's mostly a time in the story where it's hard to see his good side, it is still left in tiny hints, including Zelik promising to give Graham a discount since Graham keeps getting ripped off when buying from anyone else. In the main time for the manga, Zelik acts as an uncle to the main character, Ricalna, since he got attached watching him grow up. He is so sweet at times and is always looking out for absolutely everyone around him.

* ''Anime/YuGiOhGX

* And how is ''Manga/XXXHolic'''s Yuuko not on this list? The badass, HardDrinkingPartyGirl, BunnyEarsLawyer, who runs TheLittleShopThatWasntThereYesterday, and grants wishes, and is in general just [[SugarWiki/SoCoolItsAwesome Made Of Awesome.]]
** ''Manga/XxxHolic'''s Mokona! Cutest WeaselMascot ''ever''. The same goes for ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'''s Mokona, but Yuuko's Mokona is far more badass.

** You can keep your Xanxus, I prefers the much nicer CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Dino who is probable the friendliest NeighbourHoodFriendlyGangster around. Combined with being incredible [[{{Bishonen}} good looks]] and blod hair and a CuteClumsyGirl side bordering on {{Moe}} he's just so cuute~ And he has a size changing turtle and uses a whip.

* Clover from "Manga/HappyHappyClover". Clover is a [[GenkiGirl very energetic female rabbit]], who really cares for others. Especially her best friend Mallow. She also [[MotorMouth talks fast]] in the anime adaptation. Her heart-shaped fur on her chest is very cute.

** Yamato is competent, clever, hilariously [[TheComicallySerious unfunny]], and an adorably friendly ''[[SempaiKouhai kouhai]]'' to Kakashi. Also, he just so happens to be quite the badass; his special technique can pretty much tell your SealedEvilInACan to shut up and play nice.

** Rock. CrazyIsCool BadAssNormal ChaoticGood NonActionGuy WideEyedIdealist OnlySaneMan, and MagnificentBastard in the making. All about the male [[TheChick emotional]] [[TheHeart centers]], too.

** Zaraki Freakin' Kenpachi. The badass BloodKnight and [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority captain of Squad 11]].

** Nia takes the Princess Archetype and injects it with new life through adorable charisma and throughly thought-out idiosyncrasies. Her [[{{Keigo}} unique speech]], [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} screwy thought-process]] and way of interacting with the world is just so charming that you can't help but love her. She is not only {{Moe}}, she is [[TheWoobie HONESTLY moe]], not to mention that she ''defines'' PluckyGirl by being so HotBlooded while being a girly [[TheChick chick]] at the same time.

** Russia managed to be huggably cute and absolutely terrifying and creepy at the same time. Also, Two Words: RUSSIA PIIINK! (Who's TheChick now?)

** You can keep your Xanxus, I prefers the much nicer CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Dino who is probable the friendliest NeighbourHoodFriendlyGangster around. Combined with being incredible [[{{Bishonen}} good looks]] and blod hair and a CuteClumsyGirl side bordering on {{Moe}} he's just so cuute~ And he has a [[CoolPet size changing turtle]] and uses a whip.

* ''Manga/ZatchBell'': Kiyo(maro) Takamine and Zatch(/Gash) Bell are the strongest tag team duo on the show, and not just because they're the [[{{Deuteragonist}} main characters.]] Kiyo is a BadassBookworm [[JerkWithAHeartofGold with a Heart of Gold]] who comes up with [[IndyPloy winning strategies on a fly]] and most of his development comes from being a big brother figure to Zatch. Zatch, while [[IdentityAmnesia having no clue who he is or why he and his fellow Mamodos/Mamonos are on Earth]], simply resolves to make Kiyo's life more tolerable and, after knowing the nature of the battle for King, makes a goal to be a [[AllLovingHero Kind King]] and lets Kiyo harness his [[ShockandAwe power]] to that end. They're also very open to new friends despite the battle going on, and will [[LetsGetDangerous make it known]] [[BerserkButton that you should]] [[OhCrap NEVER]] [[ThisIsGonnaSuck piss off either of them]]. And Baou Zakeruga is an awesome [[FinishingMove Finisher Spell.]]

** Two words: Noriaki Kakyoin. The SpiritualSuccessor to the Zeppeli legacy is as awesome as you'd expect. He's a skilled fighter, to the point that his friends fully trust his abilities, and a strategist, having saved the Crusaders from certain death a number of times with his quick thinking. To get the idea, [[spoiler:he was able to keep calm even in the brink of death, and was the one who figured out The World's Stand ability, a DyingClue that even DIO himself acknowledges as having helped Jotaro win]]. Despite being the youngest member of the group, he's the one that keeps the others from doing reckless things — like when he helped Polnareff win against J. Geil. And he's totally JustForFun/OneOfUs: he loves video games and knows an awful lot of useless trivia.

* Holo from ''Manga/SpiceAndWolf''. She is both [[InsistentTerminology wise]] and [[ImmortalImmaturity childish]], [[TheWoobie appealing on an emotional level]] rather than dependent on sex appeal, and in a show with only two main characters, she more than pulls her weight in terms of character dynamic. She's really likeable and so easy to sympathize with. In fact, this troper made a plush doll of her, just so he could hug it to satisfy his CutenessProximity. Despite not being Japanese, this troper finds her to be just so incredibly {{Moe}}!

** [[TheWoobie poor little]] [[IllGirl Hotaru]]. The fact that she had three women trying to kill her because her MadScientist father [[DealWithTheDevil made a desperate bargain to save her life]] and let the herald of a monster be sealed inside of her, being possessed by said herald, and being forced to rip out her best friend's [[AnatomyOfTheSoul heart]] made me want to hug her. Watching her find the strength to take control of her body back, become Sailor Saturn, and unflinchingly make a HeroicSacrifice to destroy it]. The fact that [[AllLovingHero Sailor Moon]] was still able to give her another chance at life was icing on the cake.
