** Even England, normally the OnlySaneMan, can get like this when it comes to the occult; he tries cursing America on several occasions (at one point he nearly managed it, but when Russia sat in it he broke it by out-eviling it), and he makes friends with magical creatures like fairies and unicorns that only he can see.

* Osaka from ''AzumangaDaioh'' is [[strike: another example]] the TropeCodifier, the ''[[Pantheon/{{Philosophy}} Goddess]]'', and probably the MostTriumphantExample of this. She has a tendency to say and do strange things out of the blue, drift off into daydreaming from which she is very hard to shake, and at one point apparently suspected that Chiyo's pigtails were detachable. Or when she decided to wake up Yukari with a frying pan. How that knife got in her hand no one could explain, least of all Osaka. She expressed mild astonishment. Yukari, well, didn't. Don't forget [[http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=zL-fdimcMoA&NR=1 this creepy little moment]].

** In a key scene of the manga, [[spoiler:"Father", the homunculi's boss,]] starts acting like a caricature of Hohenheim, complete with non-sequiturs, creepy staring, senile mumbling, suddenly standing uncomfortably close to people, and pensive beard-twisting. Ed proceeds to yell at him, "LISTEN TO ME, ALIEN!" An official {{Yonkoma}} even shows him [[spoiler:letting Ed persuade him to get a 200-years subscription to a Central City newspaper]]. In the last panel, [[spoiler:Bradley/Wrath]] calls him a "naive {{Hikikomori}} with no knowlege of the world."

* ''{{Excel Saga}}''...just ''{{Excel Saga}}''...almost every character saw, perhaps, two or three.

* ''[[CodeBreaker Code:Breaker]]'' has two: Nenene, who loves to randomly grope CuteBruiser Sakura's breasts (and even names them) and Yuuki, another Code: Breaker. Not only is Nenene Sakura's sempai, she's somehow a member of the student council. [[spoiler: Her dad being the prime minister of Japan and head of Eden (the Code: Breakers' organization) probably had something to do with it.]] Yuuki, on the other hand is one of the most powerful of the Code: Breakers in TheOrganization due to his control of [[spoiler: sound]]. For some reason, his nonsensical behavior annoys the hell out of the usually lackadasical Toki [[spoiler:who happens to be Nenene's estranged brother. Naturally, Nenene is easily distracted as Sakura says "This is your brother!" while standing in front of a guy with the same hair and BoatLights as her.]] To his (or his handlers') credit, Yuuki uses his nonsensical ideas ("He's a middle-aged mushroom suffering from depression") to become the chief of a multi-billion dollar toy empire, although all he really wants/needs are [[TheWoobie friends]].

** though it has to be said, Izaya's got nothing on Walker & Erika, or Shingen.

* Izaya Orihara of ''{{Durarara}}''. For example, he once came across three girls attempting to bully a fourth. His response to this situation is to rant incoherently at them for a few seconds before announcing that while he does not hit girls, he does rather enjoy stomping on their cellphones. He then proceeds to steal the lead girls cellphone and stomp on it while laughing maniacally for a few second before stating that stomping on cellphones in extremely boring, and is no longer his hobby. At this point, the lead girl sics her boyfriend on him, prompting Izaya to pull out his [[KnifeNut razor blade]] and shave the man's head.

** In the manga, Al is disturbed by Hohenheim's body language and way of making terrifying or ridiculous confidences with an impenetrable face and ScaryShinyGlasses -- and Al himself is practically ''a suit of armour''.

* Katsuya Jounouchi/Joey Wheeler of {{Yu-Gi-Oh}} is yet another shonen BigEater of a space case, prone to many bouts of goofy behavior and painfully awkward moments. He's just, ahem, [[IncrediblyLamePun lucky]] that he's also street smart, and a decent out-of-the-box thinker.

* ''{{Excel Saga}}''

* Orihime from ''{{Bleach}}''; on one occasion, asked to draw what she thought she would be like in the future, she drew [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant a rather unnerving picture of herself]] as a giant, highly destructive robot.

* Ash Ketchum of {{Pokemon}}, being the ditzy character, usually had his head up in the clouds, and didn't really think of anything else with the exception of either Pokemon or food.
