Article: Top 10 Anime Characters Mistaken For Villains

Anime characters play an essential part in the success of any anime. Whether it be a bop or a flop, characters contribute a lot. There are numerous anime that are immensely popular because of characters only. Every character has their own identity and reasons to be how they're.  However, the viewers or other characters in the show frequently have the wrong idea about several anime characters. Audiences could erroneously assume that a hero is a villain until revealed to be innocent because of the form they look or act. The majority of anime heroes are classic nice men, yet under the appropriate circumstances, some can even appear to be evil.  Below are the top 10 anime characters mistaken for villains.

1. Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto)

Naruto has one of the largest fanbases in the anime world. Yet, his childhood went misery because his classmates and villagers never really liked him. Even his foe was the highlight of the series and gained much more popularity. And the reason people were not a big fan of him was because of the sealing of the Nine-Tailed fox inside him and always labeled as Jinchuriki. As a result, he spent most of his youth sidestepped, abandoned, and sequestered. Naruto wanted nothing but love, adoration, and affection from the villagers.

 

2. Yusuke Urameshi (YuYu Hakusho)

Yusuke Urameshi is one of the most misunderstood anime characters out there. He is known as a lawbreaker who frequently neglects to go to school and beats the hell of out people he has problems with the most. People are afraid of Yusuke and find him hard to approach because of his demeanor. Even the underworld had low expectations of him, yet through pure willpower and challenging effort, he rose to the position of a very dependable protagonist.

 

3. Naofumi Iwatani (The Rising Of The Shield Hero)

The main character of Rising of the Shield Hero faces a lot of hardships. And with being plundered, Naofumi fails the backing of the kingdom he was once supposed to serve. He needs to limit his work to jobs that get him paid to prevail. Additionally, he gets pursued by a slave girl who performs his combats for him. And that only applies to his prestige in the nation's capital. But Naofumi is known for being a kind hero outside the city who, with the aid of his bird, the Heavenly Fowl, benefits citizens throughout the nation.

 

4. Shinra Kusakabe (Fire Force)

Just by looking at him, you could never say Shinra Kusakabe is the Fire Force's kindest member. Anytime he feels anxious or afraid, it compels him to smile. People frequently referred to Shinra as a monster since his smile terrifies them and might be mistaken for an arrogant smirk. Shinra did not become a hero until he enlisted in the Fire Force.

 

5. Vash The Stampede (Trigun)

Vash the Stampede is a troublemaker who intentionally or sometimes unintentionally creates problems. Even when he is not directly involved, trouble tends to find him. In Trigun, Vash has his hands on many bonuses. Once, he was even accountable for creating the moon's hole. But he has a name on some of the wrongdoings. And because of his numerous encounters with mobs of lawbreakers and other circumstances, Vash gets into shootouts. He doesn't precisely care about property in his quest to save everyone. No matter how much he pushes hard, he causes demolition around him, establishing himself as a deadly criminal.

 

6. Shiroe (Log Horizon)

Shiroe, Leader of the guild Log Horizon has used his cleverness to help others. However, people frequently misunderstand his goals. As a villain, Shiroe can utilize his prestige by being the bad cop and further his goals with another person as the right guy because people don't have any faith in him. Since people never really don't give him the benefit of the doubt, he must surround himself with reliable individuals. Shiroe's glass look screams his intelligence.

 

7. Big Mom (One Piece) 

The audience and the characters in the show mistake Big Mom for a villain even though, at first, she looks like one. But she just wanted a world free from discrimination; everyone would have equal rights. Because of her peculiar personality, her parents left her as a young child, which accounts for a large part of her convoluted mentality. Big Mom's character was misunderstood by everyone when her aims were very profound, and the background she came from justifies her behavior.

 

8. Tsukasa Shishio (Dr. Stone)

Tsukasa Shishio is one of those characters that people often misinterpret. He wished, for one thing, to reintroduce science to the currently primitive earth. Tsukasa began destroying adult petrified sculptures to purge the old and create a new world, which had allowed it to decay and become crooked. He did this to create a world where the pure-hearted might thrive; people live carefreely. The sole reason he desired that is the number of difficulties he faced in his past life, and Tsukasa wanted justice because of the amount of criminality he had to deal with while growing up.

 

9. Lelouch Vi Britannia/Lamperouge (Code Geass) 

It was challenging to comprehend Lelouch's objectives. He maintained his actual personality and even retained his humanitarian side despite the world seeing him as a tremendous evil. Yes, he's cruel and sly, and once he sets out to do something, he doesn't give up until he succeeds. Even though he was always considering his sister Nunnally, Suzaku, and his objectives of unifying the country and putting an end to prejudice, he never let those obligations slip.

 

10. Piccolo (Dragon Ball Z)

It's somewhat Piccolo's responsibility that he has a flawed prestige. He is considered King Piccolo's reincarnation, one of the most dangerous and most lethal from the authentic Dragon Ball. At the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai, following what his father had planned, his strategy to ultimately rule the world and assassinate Goku comes to fruition. Because of his alien look and past reputation, Piccolo, as time passes, slowly converted into the right person, but initially, many perceive him negatively.
