History DeadpanSnarker / AnimeAndManga

* From NeonGenesisEvangelion, There's [[HotScientist Ritsuko]], [[ShrinkingViolet Shinji]], [[DefrostingIceQueen Rei]] and [[HandsomeLech Kaji]].

** [[ByronicHero Guts]] is quite the DeadpanSnarker, too.

* From NeonGenesisEvangelion, There's Ritsuko, Shinji, Rei and Kaji.

* [[{{Tsundere}} Kagami Hiiragi]] from ''LuckyStar'' is considered to be the GenderFlip version of [[HaruhiSuzumiya Kyon]]. She makes very cynical and sarcastic comments about [[OtakuSurrogate Konata]]'s {{otaku}} hobbies and her inability to put more focus on her academic studies. Of course, Kagami is supposed to be the most rational character of the FourGirlEnsemble. In the dub, Kagami sounds [[SuperlativeDubbing snarkier and angrier when it comes to these moments]].

-->'''[[AntiHero Vegeta (to Android 18)]]:''' If you give up now I promise to turn you into something useful, like a toaster or a washing machine.

-->'''[[AntiHero Vegeta]]:''' Welcome to the end of your life... and I promise it's going to hurt.

* {{Kanamemo}} has Hinata and Saki.

* There are three types of characters in OnePiece: [[DeadpanSnarker Deadpan Snarkers]], [[CompleteMonster Complete Monsters]], and Total Idiots. Sometimes characters will wear different hats (e.g. Usopp, who occasionally plays the fool, or plays snarker to Luffy's idiocy). Many characters share multiple roles, switching back and forth between them, and there are very few characters who are completely serious such that they display neither any ounce of stupidity or some snarker tendencies at some point.

* Saito from [[RurouniKenshin Rurouni Kenshin]] has plenty of these moments. Kenshin himself often fits this trope; more so in the manga than the anime, as the anime is often dangerously close to [[FlanderIzation overusing]] his [[ObfuscatingStupidity oblivious act]].

* KeyVisualArts LOVES this trope.
** ''{{Kanon}}'' (2006 anime) has Yuuichi Aizawa. Many comparisons are made between Kyon and Yuuichi, especially because of a few similarities in appearance and having [[TomokazuSugita the same seiyuu.]] However, both characters are vastly different; whereas Kyon makes such comments to himself, or intends only himself to hear, since he is usually bored or silently shocked at the "stupidity" around him, Yuuichi openly states such comments to tease his friends. Yuuichi's snarky commentary usually translates into good-natured fun and flirting rather than disdainful commentary.

* Despite being one of the two leads, Duzell in the manga ''VampireGame'' exemplifies this trope.
* Seto Kaiba has more than a few moments in ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}''.
-->'''Kaiba:''' Anyone who is late to my tournament will be disqualified. Mokuba, make sure Wheeler's late.

'''Kaiba:''' Thanks for nothing.
* ''{{Naruto}}'s'' Shikamaru. Possibly Kakashi(he is so constantly deadpan it's questionable as to whether he's this or an {{Unfunny}}).
-->'''Kakashi:''' Naruto, you can't ''kill'' the client. That's not how it works.

* Hiroyuki Fujita, the main character, from ''ToHeart'' seems to fit in this category, although it seems to be a result of his laziness and the fact that he wants to "eat, play arcade games, and sleep the rest his life away". Despite his dry attitude, laziness, and tendency to tease girls who annoy him at times, he shows his sympathy through his actions rather than his words, no matter who it is.

* Terriermon from ''{{Digimon}}'' fits this trope, but in ''DigimonTamers'', like whoa.

* Spike Spiegel from ''CowboyBebop'' is an unusual example in that he is a DeadpanSnarker given the role of the main character of an action show and is a defining {{Badass}} in anime. He retains his hero status despite his snark because Faye fits the role of [[TheLancer Lancer]] in most episodes.

* Ruri Hoshino of ''MartianSuccessorNadesico'' does this so often that she, just like the examples in Western Animation and Live Action TV below, [[LittleMissSnarker used to]] have a trope named after her.

* Ryoma Echizen from ''{{The Prince of Tennis}}'' is a pre-teen version of this (and arguably, one of the few ''male'' examples of LittleMissSnarker). Sadaharu Inui also exhibits Deadpan Snarker traits sometimes.

* Riza Hawkeye in ''FullmetalAlchemist''. A high-ranking aide to Roy Mustang, she acts as both his conscience and the voice of reason on his staff, despite sometimes seeming to exist only to keep the other characters (including Mustang) in line and point out their shortcomings. She does snark in the manga, but always politely.

* Although in the first season of ''PrincessTutu'' Fakir was much more of a JerkAss, in the second season he calmed down a bit and started to swing into this trope.

* Misaki Matsuya from ''ExcelSaga'' manga is a powerful example. Once she renders Iwata and Watanabe into howling fits of laughter with a single deadpan sentence. It's made pretty clear that under her [[TheStoic stoic]] exterior lies the heart of a master humorist. Unfortunately her anime counterpart didn't get a single chance to test her skills in this field. Excel herself also shows signs of this trope.
* The manga version of Ranma from ''[=~Ranma ½~=]'' is a Deadpan Snarker; Anime incarnation is not really one. Nabiki from the same series has her moments, though it is a much larger trait for her in {{Fanon}} than {{Canon}} and in the anime than the manga.
* Ash's Pokédex from ''[[{{Anime/ptitlei015gc004kw4}} Pokémon]]'', at least early on, such as in the first episode when a Rattata tries to steal Ash's food.
-->'''Ash:''' What is that doing here? This isn't a forest, it's an open field!\\

Also, Gary Oak, one of the show's resident {{jerkass}}es. [[LargeHam Every]]. [[DracoInLeatherpants Damn]]. [[JerkassDissonance Time.]] [[EccentricMillionaire He.]] [[BadassBoast Appears.]] And Max -- mostly directed at his sister or Brock, but has been known to take shots at pretty much anyone.
** Meowth also qualifies, usually aiming his jabs at Jessie and James.

* [[{{Tsundere}} Kagami Hiiragi]] from ''LuckyStar'' is considered to be the GenderFlip version of [[HaruhiSuzumiya Kyon]]. She makes very cynical and sarcastic comments about [[OtakuSurrogate Konata]]'s otaku hobbies and her inability to put more focus on her academic studies. Of course, Kagami is supposed to be the most rational character of the FourGirlEnsemble. In the dub, Kagami sounds [[SuperlativeDubbing snarkier and angrier when it comes to these moments]].

-->''Dai-Gurren begins filling up with water''\\

* Yomi from ''{{Azumanga Daioh}}''. It comes from being TheStraightMan to Tomo's jerkassness.
* L from {{Death Note}} certainly had his moments.

'''L:''' Yes, that would be dark…

* Most of the time it's hard to tell though the biggest snarker in ''{{Spider Riders}}'' is. Shadow, Magma, Lumen, and even Hunter get in on the action. Honestly I think Shadow is number in that reguard.\\

'''Meowth:''' Dat's what worries me.\\

'''L:''' Yes, that would be dark…\\
* Rukawa Kaede from SlamDunk

* Most of the time it's hard to tell though the biggest snarker is in '''{{Spider Riders}}''' is. Shadow, Magma, Lumen, and even Hunter get in on the action. Honestly I think Shadow is number in that reguard.\\
