Top 20 Scariest Anime Characters When Angry | 2025 Spacomic Ranking: Gojo Satoru vs Mouri Ran
In the worlds of anime and games, there is a type of fear called "usually all smiles, but deadly when angered." This trait of "gap moe" or "hidden powerhouse" often captures fans' hearts the most. According to the latest "Characters Who Are Scariest When Angry" poll results from Japan's famous voting site Spacomic, we have compiled an exciting list spanning classic shonen manga, popular YouTube anime, to the latest game characters.
Below, we will delve into why these anime characters are absolutely "not to be messed with," based on this 2025 ranking.
The Oppressive Aura of the Absolute King: TOP 3 Analysis
No. 1: Gojo Satoru (Gojo Satoru) "Jujutsu Kaisen"
Unsurprisingly, taking the top spot is Gojo Satoru from "Jujutsu Kaisen". As the "strongest modern-day" jujutsu sorcerer, Gojo's usual frivolous, joke-loving attitude forms an extreme contrast with the icy, world-destroying sense of oppression he exudes when angered.
Fans still remember his "peerless and supreme" gaze during the Shibuya Incident or other key battles. When the strongest person gets angry, it's no longer fear, but despair.
No. 2: Mouri Ran 《Detective Conan》
Following closely is Mouri Ran from 《Detective Conan》. Although Ran is usually a gentle childhood friend, she is the champion of the Kanto Karate Tournament.
Her "anger" is often accompanied by:
- Utility pole kicked in half
- Dented steel locker
- Various physical destruction
For Kudo Shinichi, Ran's anger is more threatening than the Black Organization. This "physical-type" fear solidly secures her second place.
No. 3: Hange Zoë 《Attack on Titan》
In third place is Hange Zoë from 《Attack on Titan》. While Hange usually shows a fanatical research spirit towards Titans, once a line is crossed (e.g., subordinates being killed or Titans being abused), the coldness and madness displayed are even more chilling than Captain Levi's. Those emotionless interrogation methods remain a shadow in viewers' hearts to this day.
The rise of a new generation of YouTube anime characters
The most interesting trend on this list is the strong entry of characters from Plott's YouTube anime, reflecting the huge influence of YouTube anime among Japan's younger generation during 2024-2025.
- No. 4 Kuroi Seigi: From 《Shiritsu Para no Maru Koukou》. In this work combining supernatural abilities and comedy, although his name contains "justice," the destructive power when he rampages is not to be underestimated.
- No. 6 Okky: From 《Tsukareta Ore to Kurogami Shinrei Soudansho》. Usually the glasses-wearing character who gets made fun of, but his high position on this list proves how astonishing his hidden side is.
- No. 16 Sidi: From 《Kare Kore of Mixed Blood》. As a mixed-blood individual, although usually seen as a mascot, the contrast when her combat power erupts is extremely intense.
Dark horse characters from games and multimedia projects
Besides traditional anime, characters from games and emerging multimedia projects also occupy significant positions.
No. 19: Anaxagoras 《Honkai: Star Rail》
From Honkai: Star Rail. This character from the "Grove of Divine Enlightenment" and one of the Seven Sages, following the Path of Erudition, has been known since his debut in early 2025 for his personality of "extremely hating to be interrupted while speaking." The oppressive aura of his phrase "Silence is golden," combined with the arrogance of being the founder of the "School of Cognitio," makes him an object universally recognized by Trailblazers as someone you "absolutely do not want to anger."
No. 9: Sumeragi Sento (Smeragi Sento) 《Hundred Note》
From the Kodansha multimedia project Hundred Note. As a detective in the "Night Owl" group, he is a crybaby and extremely dependent on others, but possesses an abnormally developed brain and deduction abilities akin to "mind-reading." This psychological ability to see through people is often more frightening than physical violence.
The Terrifying Law of "Narrowed Eyes" and "Smiling Tigers"
The anime world has an ironclad rule: "Never mess with characters who are usually all smiles." Many characters on this list prove this point:
- No. 13 Kita Shinsuke: The captain of Inarizaki in Haikyu!!. He doesn't need to shout; just staring at you with those utterly calm eyes while speaking the hard truth is enough to make his teammates break out in a cold sweat.
- No. 14 Otto Suwen: From Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World. Although often seen as a civil officer with weaker combat strength, the insane schemes he devises to protect his friends prove that merchants are the ones you should never cross.
- No. 11 Suo Hayato: From WIND BREAKER. Always gentle and refined while wearing an eyepatch and Chinese-style clothing, but once he takes action, his elegant violent aesthetic of smiling while breaking an enemy's bones makes him one of the most dangerous presences in Bofurin.
