Spacomic 2025 Ranking | 20 Anime Characters Who Look Normal But Are Actually Crazy

In the world of anime and games, there's a particular type of character that's especially captivating: those who initially appear rational and calm, even serving as the "straight man" or "voice of reason." However, as the story progresses, we often discover to our horror—these are the ones who are the most abnormal!

This charm of "seeming normal but actually crazy" is precisely the core theme of this Spacomic (スパコミック) ranking. This latest ranking, current as of December 2025, features 20 characters voted by a wide fanbase as those who "seemed like the voice of reason but turned out to be anything but."

Why Do We Love These "Hidden Crazy" Characters?

So-called "seeming normal but actually abnormal" often means a character possesses hidden obsessions, twisted values, or unexpected quirks. This inner self, starkly different from their outward appearance, creates a powerful Gap Moe, leaving a deep impression on the audience when the truth is revealed.

TOP 3: Agents of Chaos Hidden Beneath a Facade of Sanity

1st Place: Roboro – "Makai no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!"

Topping the list is Roboro from the popular spin-off manga "Makai no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!" (We Are the Protagonists of the Demon World!). In this series set in a demon school, Roboro often plays the straight man, seemingly the sole bastion of rationality.

However, fans are well aware of his hidden "muscle-brain" attribute and his scheming, ends-justify-the-means dark side. His contrast of trying to maintain order amidst extreme chaos, yet often becoming the source of it himself, secures him the top spot.

2nd Place: Jade Leech – "Disney Twisted-Wonderland"

Taking second place is Jade Leech, the vice housewarden of Octavinelle dorm. He's always impeccably dressed in a suit, wears a gentle and polite smile, and uses honorifics, appearing at first glance to be the perfect butler-type character.

But don't be fooled! Jade is essentially as dangerous as his emotional twin brother, being a moray eel merman. He harbors a creepy obsession with mushrooms and deep mountains, and behind his smile lies extreme cunning and cruelty. When he delivers the most terrifying threats in the gentlest voice, the chilling sense of his "abnormality" is unmatched.

3rd Place: Kotaro Katsura – "Gintama"

In third place is Kotaro Katsura, owner of the classic line, "It's not a wig, it's Katsura!" When first introduced, he is a serious anti-shogunate activist, a master swordsman with a handsome appearance.

But as the story develops, he completely reveals his utterly "airheaded" nature—whether it's his mysterious affection for Elizabeth or his various clueless disguises and remarks, it proves that in "Gintama," there are no truly normal people to begin with.

Noteworthy "Contrast" Voices of Reason

Beyond the top three, the list includes many classic "masked voices of reason":
