*** Keep in mind, though, that Sousuke is one of the few, if not only Mithril member who was a ChildSoldier. Sousuke's been fighting in wars since he was eight, whereas most of his [[{{Nakama}} fellow mercenaries]] started out when they were already responsible adults; with that kind of upbringing, he probably simply doesn't know how to respond to anything without breaking out some serious weaponry.

** That's just more of {{Completely Missing The Point}}, actually.

* Yui from K-On!(!) because... she's Yui.

* In ''HayateNoGotoku'', Saginomiya Isumi has really impressive command over the non-sequitur and is generally ''completely'' spaced out, leading to such scenes as her asking a construction worker if the subway involved getting dinosaurs into bullet trains. As a result, Isumi's the only one capable of following Nagi's utterly nonsensical attempts at creating manga.

* Osaka from ''AzumangaDaioh'' (pictured on the main page) is the TropeCodifier. She has a tendency to say and do strange things out of the blue, drifts off into daydreaming from which she is very hard to shake, and at one point apparently suspected that Chiyo's pigtails were detachable. Then there's the time she decided to wake up Yukari by banging on a frying pan. How that knife got in her hand no one could explain, least of all Osaka (who wasn't fully awake at the time herself). 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]].

* Fuura Kafuka from ''SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' combines this trope with being a big-time {{pollyanna}} to incredibly creepy extents; for example, she believes that nobody could ever want to hang themselves, and those who do are simply trying to "make themselves taller". She then cheerfully goes on to describe how her father went and tried to make himself taller... Repeatedly. No-one is sure if she's deeply disturbed, in heavy denial, or both.

** DigimonXrosWars gives us Blastmon who is more concern with keeping himself shiny than fighting.
* Tsukasa from ''LuckyStar'', apart from randomly spacing out for no discernable reason, finds balsamic vinegar strangely fascinating.

** This may also be a generous part of why Mr. Kimura's wife is able to tolerate him -- she can get so focused on a discarded soda can that she runs directly into a lamppost.
** Fans of the series would doubtlessly recognize Chiyo-chichi, the [[MindScrew cat... thing]]. Who sees him the most? I'll give you a second to guess. Have an idea? Yes? Okay, were you thinking [[HugeSchoolgirl Sakaki?]] No. You were thinking Osaka, weren't you? Well, Sakaki sees him the most. Her tendency to bond with stuffed animals and the fact that she doesn't seem to notice that Chiyo-chichi was a dream makes some people think Sakaki is weirder than [[TropeCodifier Osaka.]]
*** Don't forget the "daddy hats", which even ''Osaka'' found weird.
*** Let's put it like this: Sakaki is weirder than Osaka when it comes to cute things and stuffed animals, but Osaka is weirder at ''everything else,'' and she's still pretty weird with stuffed animals too. Plush [[strike:[[MemeticMutation people]]]] [[strike:chimneys]] [[strike:buildings]] cities, anyone?

*** Lithuania even lampshades Poland's status: "I thought it was just one of your usual stories, that I can’t keep up with, that takes place in your own special realm..." He could probably compete with {{AzumangaDaioh Osaka)) in cukkolander-ness at points.

* Miki "Nodamiki" Noda from ''GAGeijutsukaArtDesignClass'' is living in her own little world compared to her friends. She believes that she can remove mold from paint with her "aura" and has started impromptu mini theaters on at least two occasions (once with a collage, once with a can of paint). She is quite boy crazy to boot, to the point of believing that random guys have a crush on ''her''. Still, she seems to be on top of things.

* Osaka from ''AzumangaDaioh'' is the TropeCodifier. 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]].
** I kind of thought she was sleepwalking during the frying pan/knife scene. Yes, she does respond to people, but contrary to popular belief sleepwalkers ARE aware of their surroundings (the term "''sleep''walking''" is a misnomer, as it's not a state of actual sleep per se so much as a sort of almost-awake-but-not-quite state; in other words, they're awake enough to move around, but not fully conscious yet) and do sometimes respond to people who talk to them.

* Ellie from ''RaveMaster''. As a child, she told her father she wanted to grow up to be a bug. Perhaps because that is impossible, she settles for being the greatest dancer in all the land.

* While most of the characters are weirdos at some point in this series, [[TheHero: Noelle]] from ''TenshiNiNarumon'' still stands out the most. [[spoiler: So much that in the last episodes she manages to come off as one of the saner characters]].

* Edward Elric in ''Conqueror of Shamballa'' appears to be one to the people around him. He has good reasons for his bizarre non sequiturs and erratic behavior as [[spoiler:he literally came from another planet in a parallel universe where the laws of physics work differently and already had numerous psychological issues beforehand]], but one can't help but think the people he interacts with must consider him a little bit crazy.
