** Kako is also quite unpopular, due to his volatile nature, his somewhat creepy behavior toward Chizu and being overall unpleasant. In the manga, [[spoiler:hardly anyone mourns his death when Chizu stabs him in the throat (despite being shocked at the act himself), although Chizu suggests that they're getting desensitized to their members dying]]. That said, in the anime, Ushiro, of all people, expresses pity for Kako immediately before it's his turn to fight.

* In ''Manga/{{Sazanka}}'', Tatsuki and Aoi's mutual friend, [[NoNameGiven whom the author calls "Friend A,"]] is this. Aoi considers Friend A loud and annoying, and Friend A has an unfortunate tendency to call Tatsuki an "aspie" whenever Tatsuki spaces out, since Friend A doesn't know what the term means or that Tatsuki has Asperger's. When Tatsuki has a one-on-one meeting with Aoi, she says she's glad to not have "Friend A" around, and Tatsuki laughs and agrees.

* Tarou Takanashi in ''Anime/{{Shirobako}}'' is a [[TheLoad useless and incompetent dumbass]] with the sensitivity and tact of a brick, and his bumbling (for which he [[NeverMyFault consistently fails to show any shred of responsibility]]) has threatened the studio at least twice ''in just six episodes'', but he still isn't fired yet.

*** Rohan Kishibe, even after performing a HeelFaceTurn and joining the group to hunt down Kira, still absolutely hates Josuke, and Josuke and Okuyasu still think he's pretty creepy and insufferable and hard to be around. About the only people he gets along with is Koichi, who he tried to ''kill'' pre-HeelFaceTurn and was still a little uncomfortable around him for quite a while and Joseph Joestar. Rohan even admits the only reason he puts up with Josuke was due to his connection to Koichi and Joesph.
*** Shigekiyo "Shigechi" Yanguu, though Josuke and Okuyasu tolerate him, they still find him despicable and don't trust him, owing to him stealing their lottery money. Despite this, [[spoiler: Shigechi's death is the catalyst that gets Josuke's team to start fighting back against [[BigBad Kira]]--he may be a brat, but he was still just a kid and didn't deserve to go out like that]].

** Rohan Kishibe from ''Manga/DiamondIsUnbreakable''. Even after his HeelFaceTurn and joining the group to hunt down Kira, he still absolutely hates Josuke, and Josuke and Okuyasu still think he's pretty creepy and insufferable and hard to be around. About the only people he gets along with is Koichi, who he tried to ''kill'' pre-HeelFaceTurn and was still a little uncomfortable around him for quite a while and Joseph Joestar. Rohan even admits the only reason he puts up with Josuke was due to his connection to Koichi and Joesph.
** Also from Part 4, Shigekiyo "Shigechi" Yanguu. Though Josuke and Okuyasu tolerate him, they still find him despicable and don't trust him, owing to him stealing their lottery money. Despite this, [[spoiler: Shigechi's death is the catalyst that gets Josuke's team to start fighting back against [[BigBad Kira]]--he may be a brat, but he was still just a kid and didn't deserve to go out like that]].
** ''Also'' from Part 4 is Hazamada, an unstable jerk who used his [[FightingSpirit Stand]] to rip out his friend's eye over a disagreement about manga and according to what Rohan reads from him using Heaven's Door, tortures animals and children and had planned to rape one of his classmates using his Stand. The only person willing to give him the time of day is Koichi, and even then it's mostly over a shared interest in Rohan's manga. Even ''his own Stand'' didn't like him.

** Class 1b has Neito Monoma and his overly serious rivalry with Class 1a. While for the most part he's fairly normal and gets along well with his classmates, whenever he gets near a Class 1a member, it usually falls to Kendo to DopeSlap him and drag him off before he can embarrass them more than he already has.

* In ''Manga/{{Sanzaka}}'', Tatsuki and Aoi's mutual friend, [[NoNameGiven whom the author calls "Friend A,"]] is this. Aoi considers Friend A loud and annoying, and Friend A has an unfortunate tendency to call Tatsuki an "aspie" whenever Tatsuki spaces out, since Friend A doesn't know what the term means or that Tatsuki has Asperger's. When Tatsuki has a one-on-one meeting with Aoi, she says she's glad to not have "Friend A" around, and Tatsuki laughs and agrees.

* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'':
** Bakugo is the most blatant example. His HairTriggerTemper, tendency to badmouth everyone and forget their names, and general NoSocialSkills, ostracizes him from much of the cast, with Kirishima, [[NiceGirl Uraraka]] and [[NiceGuy Midoriya]] being the only exceptions. This is starting to change thanks to CharacterDevelopment, however, such as Jirou practically begging Bakugou to perform with her during the School Festival, which she probably wouldn't have asked him to do at the beginning of the manga. In Midoriya's case, it seems to be a mix of Seniority, since they've known each other since they were little, and Caring.
** [[DirtyKid Mineta]] is even worse in this regard. Though he gets along somewhat with Kaminari (the only other guy in class who [[AllMenArePerverts behaves like him]]) and to a lesser extent with Midoriya and Tsuyu (although the latter doesn't hesitate to smack him with her tongue if he gets out of line), his classmates see him as a nuisance at best, and spend most of their interactions with him in PervertRevengeMode.
** Class 1b has Neito Monoma and his overly serious rivalry with Class 1a. While for the most part he's fairly normal and gets along well with his classmates, whenever he gets near a Class 1a member, it usually falls to Kendo to DopeSlap him and drag him off before he can embarrass them more than he already has.

* ''Anime/ZombielandSaga'' has Kotaro Tatsumi, the girls' completely over-the-top BadBoss. Even though he has shown to be capable of being kind, such as comforting Junko and steadfastly defending Lily in their focus episodes, he regularly levels exaggerated verbal abuse at them, with them responding in kind whenever they feel he goes too far. The only reason they keep him around is they have no other choice, since he brought them BackFromTheDead and is keeping them from being sent back there by panicking humans.

** Rohan Kishibe in Part 4. Even after his HeelFaceTurn and joining the group to hunt down Kira, he still absolutely hates Josuke, and Josuke and Okuyasu still think he's pretty creepy and insufferable and hard to be around. About the only people he gets along with is Koichi, who he tried to ''kill'' pre-HeelFaceTurn and was still a little uncomfortable around him for quite a while and Joseph Joestar. Rohan even admits the only reason he puts up with Josuke was due to his connection to Koichi and Joesph.

The only person willing to give him the time of day is Koichi, and even then it's mostly over a shared interest in Rohan's manga. Even ''his own Stand'' didn't like him.

* ''LightNovel/KonoSuba'' sees Aqua being this among her fellow gods, to such a degree that they used Kazuma picking her as his "cheat item" as an excuse to rid themselves for her and have the caveat of her only being able to return once the Demon King is defeated to delay her return.

* The entire core cast of ''LightNovel/KonoSuba'' is this in ''Anime/IsekaiQuartet'' as their {{Jerkass}}ness gets on everyone else's nerves between Kazuma tanking a possible friendship with [[LightNovel/ReZero Subaru Natsuki]] upon finding out about his life (and not being aware of how sucky Subara's life really is), pissing off [[LightNovel/YoujoSenki Tanya von Degurechaff]] with his intention to be TheLoad on field day, and his refusal to leave their new world pissing ''everyone'' (Aqua, Darkness, and Megumin included); Aqua's usual self-absorbed idiocy and her attempts to attack the cast of ''LightNovel/Overlord2012''; and Darkness's tendency for being TooKinkyToTorture being too much for the other series' cast ([[EvenEvilHasStandards including the aforementioned]] ''{{Villain Protagonist}}s'' of ''Overlord'' and ''Youjo Senki'').

** Kako is also quite unpopular, due to his volatile nature, his somewhat creepy behavior toward Chizu and being overall unpleasant. In the manga, [[spoiler:hardly anyone mourns his death when Chizu stabs him in the throat (despite being shocked at the act himself), although Chizu suggests that they're getting desensitized to their members dying]]. That said, in the anime, Ushiro of all people expresses pity for Kako immediately before it's hist urn to fight.

** Bakugou is the most blatant example. His HairTriggerTemper, tendency to badmouth everyone and forget their names, and general NoSocialSkills, ostracizes him from much of the cast, with Kirishima, [[NiceGirl Uraraka]] and [[NiceGuy Midoriya]] being the only exceptions.

* Naofumi, the titular Shield Hero in ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero''. Right from the start he gets [[DudeWheresMyRespect no respect]] due to the reputation of the Shield Hero (both within the setting, and in the counterpart games each of the other three Heroes are familiar with) being the "loser's class"; [[StoneWall all defense and no offense.]] And then Malty and the King enact their plan to [[FromBadToWorse crush his already abysmal reputation,]] turning him in the eyes of the public and the other three Heroes from an ignorant loser that nobody wants to associate with to a disgusting (falsely accused) rapist who's irrevocable status as the Shield Hero is the only thing keeping him from being put to death.

* Naofumi, the titular Shield Hero in ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero''. Right from the start he gets [[DudeWheresMyRespect no respect]] due to the reputation of the Shield Hero (both within the setting, and in the counterpart games each of the other three Heroes are familiar with) being the "loser's class." When the times comes for volunteers to join each of the Four Heroes, Naofumi is the only one to get no followers at all despite being the only one who absolutely ''needs'' one due to [[StoneWall being all defense and no offense]], and when he finally ''does'' get one, she turns out to be a vindictive GoldDigger who only joined so that she could steal all his money and equipment and falsely accuse him of rape to [[FromBadToWorse tank his already abysmal reputation.]] For much of the early parts of the story, his status as the Shield Hero is the only thing keeping the majority of the cast from outright killing him on principle.

** Ushiro is widely disliked for [[BigBrotherBully his tendency to hit his younger sister Kana when he loses his temper]]. Among the few exceptions are Ushiro's long-time friend Kanji (who doesn't hesitate to snark at Ushiro or push his buttons), the similarly disliked Kodama (who admires the fact that Ushiro [[spoiler:apparently killed Waku by accident]), Kana ([[LoveMartyr who endures the abuse out of love for Ushiro]]), and Machi (who eventually falls in love with Ushiro, having noticed him because he doesn't fit in).

** Bakugou is the most blatant example. His HairTriggerTemper, tendency to badmouth everyone and forget their names, and general NoSocialSkills, ostracizes him from much of the cast, with Kirishima, Uraraka and Midoriya being the only exceptions. This is starting to change thanks to CharacterDevelopment, however, such as Jirou practically begging Bakugou to perform with her during the School Festival, which she probably wouldn't have asked him to do at the beginning of the manga.

* Yanda from ''Manga/{{Yotsuba}}''. It doesn't help that the person he will pick on most is five years old. Although, he quickly [[CharacterDevelopment evolves]] into a SitcomArchNemesis for Yotsuba (and later even FriendlyEnemy) and his antics don't trigger more than mild annoyance in other characters. Also partially {{justified|Trope}}, as he's a coworker of Yotsuba's father.

** Rohan Kishibe in Part 4. Even after his HeelFaceTurn and joining the group to hunt down Kira, he still absolutely hates Josuke, and Josuke and Okuyasu still think he's pretty creepy and insufferable and hard to be around. About the only person he gets along with is Koichi (who he tried to ''kill'' pre-HeelFaceTurn,) who's still a little uncomfortable around him for quite a while.

** Mineta is even worse in this regard. Though he's capable of befriending Midoriya and Kaminari, nobody likes him either, especially the girls, since he behaves creepily around them, which also ostracizes him from everyone else ([[ChasteHero no other guys besides him and Kaminari behave like that]]). Even an AllLovingHero like Midoriya might never have befriended Mineta if not for [[FireForgedFriends their facing a potentially deadly villain attack together]]. The fact he is generally not that good in battle (occasional flashes of LethalJokeCharacter aside) doesn't get him any points either. Even his highest stat, Intelligence, really isn't that impressive compared to a TeenGenius like Momo or Todoroki, and ends up being an InformedAttribute with Mineta (for instance, Mineta only had the 9th highest grade out of the 20 students in 1-A, worse than several characters whose Intelligence stat was listed as lower than his). [[TheScrappy Even the fans hate him.]]
** Monoma also falls into this, mainly for being a SmugSnake who takes every opportunity to laugh at and taunt Class 1-A but also repeatedly proves he's all talk - for example he laughs at the members of Class 1-A who failed their practical exam during the Summer Camp arc, but ''he'' also failed it. Itsuka Kendou's sole job in the show most of the time is to smack him in the head to shut him up, while Class 1-B apologise for his behavior.

** Mineta is even worse in this regard. Though he's capable of befriending Midoriya and Kaminari, nobody likes him either, especially the girls, since he behaves creepily around them, which also ostracizes him from everyone else ([[ChasteHero no other guys besides him and Kaminari behave like that]]).
