Who is the King of Anime Psychos? Japanese Site Polls Top 30 Psycho Characters
Machine-translated from Traditional Chinese
I saw a poll on the Japanese site spacomic asking 'Who do you think of when it comes to psycho characters?' The results are pretty interesting, so let me share them for discussion.
**Top 10 Psycho Characters:**
1. **Hisoka (Hunter x Hunter)**
This one's a no-brainer, the representative of perverted ability users. That obsession with the strong and battle-maniac traits really make him the psycho of psychos.
2. **Nagito Komaeda (Danganronpa)**
Super High School Level Luck, and also Super High School Level Psycho. That extreme hope philosophy, a twisted value system that would sacrifice anything for hope, makes him both loved and hated.
3. **Yumeko Jabami (Kakegurui)**
A gambling maniac who gets more excited the more dangerous the bet. That elegant yet crazy aura is truly captivating.
4. **Riki Nendou (The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.)**
This one's a bit unexpected, maybe because his airheadedness + drive makes him unpredictable?
5. **Hange Zoë (Attack on Titan)**
That obsessive research attitude towards Titans really gives off mad scientist vibes.
6. **Tsukasa Yugi (Toilet-bound Hanako-kun)**
The representative yandere little brother, his obsession with his older brother is twisted to the extreme.
7. **Akira Takaoka (Assassination Classroom)**
This one is a pure psycho, a sadistic Sensei.
8. **Sasuke Uchiha (Naruto)**
Sasuke in his chuunibyou phase was pretty crazy, willing to betray everything for revenge.
9. **Takeru Amaya (As the Gods Will)**
A psycho character in a survival game, stopping at nothing to stay alive.
10. **Light Yagami (Death Note)**
No need to explain Kami's madness, from a righteous avenger to a self-appointed god of a new world.
**Others on the list include:**
Junko Enoshima (Danganronpa), Satou (Ajin), Makoto Itou (School Days), Koutarou Bokuto (Haikyu!!), Aqua Hoshino (Oshi no Ko), Jinpachi Ego (Blue Lock), etc.
**Personal thoughts:**
This list is pretty useful for reference, most characters do fit the definition of 'psycho'. But some characters I think are more 'hot-blooded' or 'obsessive' rather than truly psycho?
Do you all think this ranking is reasonable? And are there any psycho characters in your mind that didn't make the list?
