History TokenEvilTeammate / AnimeAndManga

** The main crew has a couple of members who can count for this; their roster includes a ruthless bounty hunter, a cruel and avaricious thief, a professional assassin, and an underworld crime boss. Yes, they're still as kind and quirky as you'd expect any Straw Hat to be. Just...don't give them a reason to show off.

* In ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' Kyoya is a downplayed version. It is commonly accepted amongst the group that everything he does is for the sake of personal gain and profit, but Haruhi manages to prove otherwise on occasion.

* Nezumi Otoko (Rat Man) from ''Manga/GeGeGeNoKitaro'' is the only member of the group who frequently does whatever he can to make quick cash by tricking people, humans and yokai. He also sides with the villains to betray Kitaro and his companions whenever the opportunity shows itself. Regardless of how much he does it, Kitaro stills allows him to stay with the group.

* Faye Valentine of ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' occasionally is this. There are times when she seems to genuinely care about the crew, while other times she's a {{Jerkass}} to everybody and seems to only care about herself. She has also stolen bounties that rightfully belonged to another crew-member at least a couple of times as well. Though, honestly, [[BlackAndGrayMorality she isn't that much worse than them]]. Also, she's barely a team member in the strict sense. Half the time she's on the Bebop, she's restrained while they check her belongings.

** Vegeta became this after his EnemyMine with the good guys against Frieza. Until the last part of DBZ, the only reason he helps the heroes is because [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou no one else can kill Goku]].

** Launch qualified in the pre-''Z'' portion of the series. [[JekyllAndHyde Well, half the time]].

* ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'': Nelia, a CyberNinja who declares that she wants the protagonist Akira to be her lover for the seconds it will take her to kill him (which he never lets her live down saying), ends up teaming up with him on multiple occasions as part of larger battles against monsters. Akira is an UnscrupulousHero in the first place, and it turns out that with Nelia, BadassMindsThinkAlike and they each have the CommonalityConnection of similar BlueAndOrangeMorality revolving around the concepts of IGaveMyWord and being a ConsummateProfessional. She told him what she did because she wouldn’t let her feelings get in the way of her promise. In their first team up, Akira and Nelia coordinate perfectly without words as a [[ShortRangeGuyLongRangeGuy Short Range Girl Long Range Guy]] duo, and their second time, she uses her BrainComputerInterface to be Akira’s BadassDriver while he fights off enemies.

* ''Manga/ShuumatsuNoWalkureRecordOfRagnarok'': The Einherjar's darkest member so far is UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper, who's just as much of a sadistic maniac as you'd expect the world's most infamous SerialKiller would be. He's so widely reviled by humanity that some of the humans in the crowd like his opponent [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Heracles]] more than him, who, while the TokenGoodTeammate of the gods, is still fighting for ''mankind's extinction''.
* Xellos from ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}''. Calling him a teammate is a bit of a stretch but he does hang around the heroes and they often work together, and he's a Monster (Mazoku) who in turn works for more powerful monsters. Considering how powerful he is (one step or two steps below BigBad depending on the season), it would be hard and dangerous to make him leave. Most of the time he's AffablyEvil and [[ItAmusedMe dicking around with them for the lolz]] so they tolerate him. Case in point, in ''Slayers TRY'' when Xellos actually did betray Lina in order to recruit Valgaav. When Lina found out, she merely hit him on the head a few times.

* Chizuru in ''LightNovel/StudentCouncilsDiscretion'' her main role being TheGadfly. Unless you happen to be [[SingleTargetSexuality Kurimu]].

* ''LightNovel/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobs'': There’s Jilk. In the [[MediaTransmigration game the protagonist transmigrated into]], Jilk was supposed to be a BewareTheQuietOnes PsychoSupporter of Julius as this. As events turn out, after Marie becomes TheLancer to Leon, with Jilk being a member of her reverse-harem, he still is. Jilk has the InSeriesNickname as ''The Black Hearted'', and while he’s a ColdSniper and DemolitionsExpert, and probably the most useful in conflict out of Marie’s five boyfriends, he’s also the biggest trouble maker. This is [[HiddenDepths hinted to]] be MischiefForPunishment since Jilk is a masochist.

** Despite what some fangirls will tell you and despite the fact he's almost always accompanied by an adorable [[CoolPet bird pet]], [[BloodKnight Kyoya Hibari]] isn't a much better person than Mukuro and Daemon. However, the first Cloud Guardian, Alaude, was said to be similar to him in his younger days but he got better (despite remaining cold and aloof), so it's possible Hibari might grow up as a decent person. As it stands, however, Kyoya [[{{Jerkass}} is]] [[AxCrazy not]] [[{{Delinquents}} one]].

* ''LightNovel/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobs'': There’s Jilk. In the [[MediaTransmigration game the protagonist transmigrated into]], Jilk was supposed to be a BewareTheQuietOnes PoisonousFriend of Julius as this. As events turn out, after Marie becomes TheLancer to Leon, with Jilk being a member of her reverse-harem, he still is. Jilk has the InSeriesNickname as ''The Black Hearted'', and while he’s a ColdSniper and DemolitionsExpert, and probably the most useful in conflict out of Marie’s five boyfriends, he’s also the biggest trouble maker. This is [[HiddenDepths hinted to]] be MischiefForPunishment since Jilk is a masochist.

-->'''Magma:''' “Huh? What do I care about this buncha strangers?”

* ''Anime/LegendOfGalacticHeroes'' has the utterly amoral Paul von Oberstein, one of the most extreme [[WellIntentionedExtremist Well-Intentioned Extremists]] in animation. All of Reinhard's allies hate him, but tolerate his presence because his methods ''work''.
