As orange is known to be charismatic, they say that the purple color is the color of evil. I say this is complete bull, it’s just a beautiful shade and some of the best anime characters with magnificent purple hair are here to prove that.

You will find some evil ones in this bunch, but I’m pretty sure it’s just because they are a bit cuckoo in the head and their hair has nothing to do with why they turned out like that. And to be honest, evil or not, they are still awesome.

So here is a list of the Best Anime Characters With Purple Hair.

 

ANIME CHARACTERS WITH PURPLE HAIR 

 

ANIME GIRLS

28. Hotaru Tomoe AKA Sailor Saturn (Sailor Moon)

First up we’ve got a jewel among jewels, legendary characters that any anime fan worthy of the name should know.

Hotaru Tomoe, AKA Sailor Saturn, a mesmerizing teenager in a super cute dress accessorized with a bob cut purple hair that I don’t think would suit anyone but her.

She had a difficult childhood, she died in a terrible accident that was triggered by her own father. She was reincarnated into a child—the child that was meant to become the Guardian of Destruction.

A title that surely doesn’t befit a girl that looks as gentle, charming and innocent as her. But then again, a bit of feistiness is always welcome in any girl, it’s the spice of the relationship. 

 

27. Anko Mitarashi (Naruto)

6/10	6/10	12/20	24/40

It’s a shame that we barely got to see in the series a character as amazing as Anko. I mean our ninja sure had it hard. Being the test subject of Orochimaru must have been terrible.

However, her strength and courage were stronger than the pain, stronger than the fear. She rebelled against her master and the prey turned into the hunter.

She was still no match for him and he still looked at her as nothing but trash but it’s the sentiments that matter no?

There is just one thing that disturbs me at a colossal level and I realize that no one talks about this point, maybe out of respect for her or whatever, but how the hell did she end up as fat as a balloon in the end?

 

26. Nemu Kurotsuchi (Bleach)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
6/10	6/10	12/20	24/40

That’s only my personal point of view but I do believe that the girl is a masochist. She is in no way weak and I think that escaping the grasp of her disturbed captain shouldn’t have been such a difficult task for her. So why is she still by his side?

I know that he is her creator but aren’t there like rules against abuse in Soul Society? They want to protect the entire Earth from Hollows while they can’t even protect one of their Lieutenants?!

It breaks my heart to see such a beautiful and kind character being mistreated by an ugly pig. If he were handsome, it would’ve been half okay.

 

25. Ultear Milkovich (Fairy Tail)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
6/10	7/10	12/20	25/40

The poor purple soul was just misguided, drawn by hatred and desire of revenge. But the girl was saved and underneath all that darkness laid a pure gentle light.

She had a horrifying childhood. She lost her mother and was put through hellish training to become the talented sorceress she is today.

Wielding one of the oldest and rarest types of magic, she was also taught to despise weakness and close off her emotions to only let the floor to cruelty and ruthlessness.

When she was finally defeated, she decided she wanted to atone for her sin, and the price she paid was her very own life. Well, she didn’t actually die, she just turned into a Baba, tho I think death would have been better.

 

24. Mizore Shirayuki (Rosario + Vampire)

 

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
6/10	6/10	13/20	25/40

You can actually see the lust in the eyes of our Kawaii purple stalker who developed a not so healthy feelings towards Tsukune Aono.

She looks shy and harmless and honestly, those people are the most terrifying ones. She grew so obsessed with her love interest who doesn’t even know she exists that she began to imagine what their life would be like, how their babies would look like.

And that’s not the worst, she doesn’t have an ounce of hope to be with him, so in desperation, she even started planning how she was going to force him to have her children!

So the critical question here… Just why exactly do we all like her? I think we are sicker than she is!

 

23. Blair (Soul Eater)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
7/10	7/10	13/20	27/40

A mysterious black cat that can transform into a bomb of a witch really made quite the impact in the series, especially amongst the boys. Yeah, yeah, I know you love her, you can’t hide it.

A prankster with a playful and childish personality, her confidence in her body is astonishing. I mean, she is perfect and I can say that with confidence since she loves to wander around naked in the house for the pleasure of Soul.

It’s a miracle he didn’t die yet of blood loss after all the nosebleeds he got because—or more accurately—thanks to her.

Ah and she has the nice habit of embarrassing her roommates by removing her towel in front of their guest. My advice, let’s become friends with them quickly. 

 

22. Minene Uryuu (Mirai Nikki)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
7/10	6/10	14/20	27/40

Our purple psychopath get a kick from shedding blood, pulverizing her enemies and carrying out acts of terrorism. Dressed like a doll, her eye patch really comes out of place, but at least it’s not some cliché accessory to complete her bizarre style, she really lost an eye.

Very intelligent and calculative, those traits helped boost her confidence in her abilities, maybe a bit too much. Full of herself, he believes she can achieve anything by herself.

A tomboy through and through, her feminine side only comes out when she is interacting with children or taking care of cute animals. Hope she never gets the urge to gut them just to see if she can handle it or not.

 

21. Ritsu (Assassination Classroom)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
7/10	7/10	14/20	28/40

I know she is just a hologram and you will never get to caress her violet hair tenderly, but the fact still remains that she has a will and a personality of her own.

Created to be the ultimate weapon that will eventually kill Koro-sensei thanks to her inhuman power of analysis, the scientist who made her must be turning in his grave knowing that he miserably failed since she is now one of Korosensei’s favorite students.

He died a loser and poor and serves him right since he once tried to rob her of the emotions she finally managed to feel.

Kawaii and charming, I don’t understand why the authors like to fatten their character to the point where they turn super ugly just to destroy the perfect image we have of them.

 

20. Saeko Busujima (High School of the Dead)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
7/10	7/10	14/20	28/40

Saeko is one badass sexy woman. Former Captain of the Kendo Club, she is the person everyone relies on in times of need.

The only reason the MCs are still breathing is because she was there with them. So a nice piece of advice, never step on her tail, she’ll take you down guaranteed no matter who you are.

She has the mental and the coolness of a samurai and the kind and caring soul of a big sister.

Described like that, you’d think she’s the perfect role model for all the students, however, I can tell you that you don’t want your kids to turn out like her.

It was only revealed later in the series that she is an extreme sadist. When fighting against her enemies, you’d think the devil is smiling through her. Real joy can only be felt when inflicting extreme pain on others.

If you ever wished to become her boyfriend, think again or you will be in a world of pain, literally. 

 

19. Konan (Naruto)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
7/10	7/10	15/20	29/40

A goddess of loyalty, an extraordinary ninja who stuck to her friends, her family till the very end. 

One dead, one driven by despair and power, she protected their souls, she was the only thing that helped them keep their humanity. She became their anchor.

When she was left alone, she became the guard of what they left behind, even gave her very own life to make sure that the Rinnegan would not fall into the wrong hands.

She failed, but her fight was a magnificent one, an inspiring one, her name will be remembered, not only by her comrades, but by us as well.

 

18. Hitagi Senjougahara (Monogatari)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
7/10	7/10	15/20	29/40

She was the frail girl that would just watch while her classmates would be enjoying themselves during PE. Just looking at her staring at them with that cold glare, you’d know that there was something more to her. She was hiding something.

She doesn’t have any diseases nor is she frail, she just doesn’t want to kill someone while playing with them is all.

A cute and beautiful girl with a tongue way too sharp to suit her looks. The wanna be Tsundere hates kids, loves weapons and adores threatening people with them. It makes her day every time she does.

 

17. Sheele (Akame Ga Kill)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
8/10	7/10	15/20	30/40

She comes from Akame Ga Kill so of course she has some screws missing and can be quite addicted to blood, but she became like that for the good of her country so we’ll let it pass, yeah?

And to be honest, amongst the entire bunch, she must be the sanest and kindest one. She appears charming, calm and sweet at least.

And it’s kinda funny that they entrusted a deadly weapon to an airhead with a tendency for clumsiness. Good thing she died before destroying a village by accident.

 

16. Cornelia Li Britannia (Code Geass)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
8/10	7/10	16/20	31/40

Have you ever seen a girl blush in embarrassment when her brother gives her a compliment? Well that’s Cornelia for you.

A fierce commander and an incredible warrior on the battlefield and an intimidating Princess brewing with confidence when she is in her Knightmare.

When having to act like a proper lady she turns into a shy maiden with a sister complex who can’t wear a dress or handle a compliment about her beauty.

And I think, but that’s only a deduction, that her favorite color is purple. Why do I think that? Not only her hair and her eyes are violet, her suit of armor, her cloth, maybe what’s underneath her cloth, everything is purple.

 

15. Kyoka Jiro AKA The Hearing Hero (My Hero Academia)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
7/10	8/10	16/20	31/40

The weaklings, the cluess ones, the pushovers are the targets of her teasing. The others with okay personalities, she can be friends with them, no problem.

Sociable and kind, her big problem is that she is quite the pessimist and super quick to revolve to violence when angered.

However, when on a mission, all the hot bloodedness and impulsivity disappears and gives place to coldness and strategic thinking. There are lives on the line after all.

As expected from the Hearing Hero, her passion is music, now less expected she can’t sing and can moderately play some instruments, so listening is her thing. Yeah, boring I know, but we can’t be awesome all the time.

 

14. Kagami Hiiragi (Lucky Star)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
7/10	8/10	16/20	31/40

I know there are other characters with purple hair in this anime that are quite popular but I wasn’t going to put them all in or you wouldn’t get to check out new ones. 

I picked the best out of them all, made due with her and if you want more just ask, it’ll be my pleasure to fulfill any of your requests.

Instead of evil, put Tsundere in the description of the purple color cuz we have yet another one.

Horrible at cooking and anything related to house chores, she’s the complete opposite of her twin. She has a huge ego, I don’t know where it came from, there’s nothing that special about her.

Always trying to keep up the appearance of a strong person, her attachment to her friends is endless and for some reason she is embarrassed to show the love, I guess that’s how Tsunderes are.

 

13. Shinoa Hiiragi (Owari No Seraph)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
7/10	8/10	16/20	31/40

A midget with purple hair who still can’t handle the teasing about her height is fighting in a war to save humanity from the vampire threat.

Wielding demon weapons with extraordinary abilities, all they have to do is give in to the temptation to gain power, but they will end up killing their friends in an uncontrollable fit of rage so it beats the purpose.

In love with the Kakkoii MC, I think she’ll be shocked to know that her ultimate rival will be a vampire boy believed to be dead.

Who will you be rooting for? Sorry Shinoa, but personally, I really ship Yu and Mika’s relationship.

 

12. Ririchiyo Shirakiin (Blend S)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
8/10	8/10	16/20	32/40

Our cute killing machine was given quite the elaborated nickname by her friends. A “TsunShun”, they say she is, a Tsundere that gets extremely dejected instead of being loves-truck.

Sounds funny and all but it’s actually not, her introverted personality comes from a very deep and painful trauma that she hasn’t been able to overcome yet. 

She wants to bond with people, she wants to make friends, real ones but her communication disorder is a barrier for that. Every time her attempts fail, she drowns in depression till the point where she decides to give up and live as a recluse.

Life works in mysterious ways cuz it’s when you least expect it that all you ever wanted just materialize in front of you and she finally got what she wanted, but not for long of course or it will be boring.

 

11. Revy (Black Lagoon)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
8/10	8/10	17/20	33/40

If badass was a person, she would be it. Rude, violent, ruthless, merciless and cruel with anger issues, that girl is talented enough, strong enough, willed enough to beat, to destroy any guy, terrorist, warlord, assassin, you name it.

Gender barriers, she smashed them, she is the living fantasy proof of equality. I’m not telling you to turn into a gun for hire, I’m just saying that if you work hard enough for it, it’s not a puny man that will take your dream away from you, it’s your own weakness.

Keep struggling, keep fighting the good fight, and what you want, what you desire, grab it with your own hands, just like her. Just don’t use a gun, you don’t need that part of her. 

 

10. Misato Katsuragi (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
8/10	9/10	16/20	33/40

Up till now, I still don’t really get what her actual job is in NERV. Pilot babysitter maybe? Cocky, full of positivity, sneaky at times and extremely sexy, all she had to do to get Shinji some friends was to show up with him at school.

She gives off the impression that she is mentally strong, however, who would have thought that a trash of a man would still be able to seduce her with some romantic words and a dreamy kiss. We all know you deserve better than him.

It was nothing more than a job at first, to take care of the kids that will save the world, but her kind heart decided otherwise. She became their pillar, their anchor, the shoulder they could cry on ignorant that sometimes she might have been in greater despair than they were. 

 

9. Kae Serinuma (Watashi Ga Motete Dousunda)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
8/10	9/10	17/20	34/40

An extreme Otaku that only ever watched anime, read Manga and ate, of course she ended up as fat as an elephant.

The MC of her favorite series died and she drowned in depression, yeah she was kind of obsessed. Unable to swallow any type of food she stayed in a pitiful state gobbled up in her rooms for days.

And when she finally got over the shock, it was us who had to handle the surprise she gave us because the girl who came out of the dark was beautiful enough to make any guy die from a heart attack or at least have a nosebleed for weeks.

From bullied to the most popular girl of the school that all the men were after, her life became a romantic drama.

 

8. Shion (That Time I Was Reincarnated as a Slime)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
8/10	9/10	17/20	34/40

From the new generation of anime, this woman is LIT. Almost as strong as the terrifying Benimaru, she’s Rimiuru’s—I won’t say secretary—more like his personal pillow.

Her attacks are deadly and the most horrifying one of them all is without a doubt her poisonous cooking that she thinks is edible and I think that’s what scares us the most.

If we don’t eat it, we die smashed by her sword, if we eat it, it will be a long and agonizing death. Which death will you choose?

 

7. Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost In The Shell)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
9/10	9/10	17/20	35/40

No matter how real she looks, don’t let her appearance deceive you, the deadly purple angel is an artificial human, a cyborg.

Don’t worry she’s not gonna turn into a monster who wants to wipe out humanity to make AI’s rule. She just might be more human than some of us.

She became a commander in the army. Friendly with her troops you can see her trading insults with them for fun. A bit childish, sticking her tongue out is a common thing for her. And when victory is acquired she won’t miss waving the V sign to her boyfriend.

Yep, the cyborg has a real human boyfriend and we don’t.

 

6. Faye Valentine (Cowboy Bebop)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
9/10	9/10	18/20	36/40

A crock and a thief, she could’ve just asked for the money, with a body and face like hers, no man would’ve said no.

Strong and independent, she is one of the best female figures of the anime world. Proud and confident, no matter the setbacks, no matter the difficulty, she would always find a loophole to all her problems without ever asking for help.

In a world where only power and money rules, she found a way to survive and flourish while keeping her dignity even if she had to soil her hands from time to time.

 

5. Bulma (Dragon Ball)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
9/10	9/10	19/20	37/40

She must be the strongest girl of the whole anime universe since she managed to make the great and mighty Vegeta settle down.

Not only did she insure faithfulness, she made him so smothered with her that he’d do absolutely anything for her. From going on a vacation wearing stupid Hawaiian shirts to punching a God of destruction while he knew was going to get pulverise him for it.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. I haven’t yet talked about her brilliant intellect, about the perfect mother that she is, the loyal friend that she is and always will be. I mean she made a spaceship, how cool is that?!

 

4. Shinobu Kocho (Demon Slayer)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
9/10	9/10	19/20	37/40

The whole Demon Slayer Corp would’ve been wiped out if Shinobu wouldn’t have been the awesome beautiful woman that she is 

A terrific warrior and a prodigious doctor, she saved every demon slayer that was poisoned and fated to die by the sting of the spider demon minions.

Sadistic towards the monsters that she despises from the bottom of her heart for taking away her beloved sister from her, she gets a kick of torturing them to death with a bright smile on her face.

She always looks cheerful, however, Tanjiro was the only one to smell the anger dormant in her that made her open her heart to him.

Her sister wanted to befriend the demons that she didn’t see as monsters and was killed by one of them as a result. 

Shinobu tried to uphold her beliefs but failed. She passed on the torch to Tanjiro asking him to fulfill their dream for them. And good news he is already halfway there. 

 

3. Rize Kamishiro (Tokyo Ghoul)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
9/10	9/10	19/20	37/40

One of the most powerful ghouls of the Tokyo Ghoul universe, she terrorized even her own kind.

The manipulative and crazed monster would roam around the city looking all cute and innocent, act shy and reserved, charming the first idiots who would think that had a chance with her.

One of those idiots was Kaneki. He should thank his guardian angel for barely surviving her although the aftermath of her attack were catastrophic.

I don’t know how the doctors didn’t realize that the smashed body was that of a ghoul and translated her organs into the injured Kaneki, turning him into a one-eyed monster.

However, it was not just bits for her body that were given to him, her soul seemed to have migrated into the boy, hunting his mind, his thoughts, but in the end all she managed to do was make him stronger.

 

2. Yoruichi Shihouin (Bleach)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
9/10	10/10	19/20	38/40

A black cat with a feisty personality, Yoruichi is a character you just cannot hate. She was a Captain, a Captain even the other Captains looked up upon.

When things got bad on Soul Society, she escaped and hid until she was needed again and that time came when Ichigo arrived in the world of the Shinigamis.

She mentored him, trained him, almost killed him by doing so, but it’s the result that matters since he got a huge power up thanks to her.

Cheerful, fun, cocky, extremely strong and most importantly super attractive, even her cat form is to die for!

 

1. Touka Kirishima (Tokyo Ghoul)

 

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
10/10	10/10	20/20	40/40

Talk about an epic entrance. Our purple girls are really something special and Touka might be the most unique.

She looks and acts cold when in reality she is a sweetheart with a golden soul. Unable to eat human food, she still gobbles up everything her best friend makes for her and even stops herself from throwing up everything. When saying it like this i sounds like nothing, but for a ghoul it is pure torture.

Her way of seducing her love interests is also something we should talk about. She shoves human body parts in their mouth, that’s when she’s not too attached. When things are more serious she could just eat them up. Oh and I’m not being sarcastic here, I’m super serious.

 

ANIME GUYS

28. Dark Magician (Yu Gi Oh!)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
5/10	5/10	10/20	20/40

I know he is just a card, but there is no one that doesn’t know who Dark Magician is and how strong he is. I mean, he saved Yugi’s butt more times than I can count.

He never spoke a word and yet every time he was summoned into the game the excitement would be palpable in our eyes.

And then two second later, it would be game over.

 

27. Sartorius (Yu Gi Oh! GX)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
5/10	5/10	10/20	20/40

If there is a blog about the ugliest anime characters ever made, I’m 100% sure that Sartorius would be on it and highly ranked as well. His face alone is enough to give you nightmares for a week.

And his personality is no better since he was the main protagonist in the first season of the series. He was the biased professor who wouldn’t acknowledge the achievements and the talent of the students he thought were from common origins.

However, after he was magnificently defeated, he changed, and sided with the MC. Well, he had to, to keep up face, at least he’ll make sure the one who brought him to his knees is a legend.

 

26. Kirimaru Settsuno (Nintama Rantarou)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
5/10	6/10	11/20	22/40

Kirimaru is a ninja in training. He is the clown of the class, the one who always wants to piss off the teachers, botch his exams, and make everyone laugh while at it.

He is in love with our lady in green, money. He always tries to find some scheme to get some nice perky bills.

Despite not taking his studies very seriously, he still loves being a student in the ninjutsu Academy mostly because he likes spending time with his friends. 

As expected of him, he only gives his all for his job, we don’t want to get fired any time soon after all.

 

25. Keele Zeibel (Tales of Eternia)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
6/10	6/10	11/20	23/40

From the very first words the guy mustered in the anime, we could only say one thing about him… he is straight up rude.

To hide the fact that he was nothing more than a sensible crybaby, he covered up all his insecurities behind a wall of intelligence and arrogance.

A realist through and through, our young scientist threw all his dreamy childish fantasies and started believing that everything can be explained with sheer logic and analysis.

Brilliant and very talented it was his oversized brain that pushed him away from people. Who would handle the stupid rambling of ignorant kids who still believes in fairy tales?

 

24. Asuramaru (Seraph of the End)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
7/10	6/10	12/20	25/40

I’m gonna confess something, before I started writing this blog, I was convinced the demon was a cute beautiful girl with an attitude problem. I was shocked to say the least.

Asuramaru is the demon residing in the MC’s weapon. After Yu managed to tame him, he’s been trying to turn him into a demon without rest.

However, the kind and sweet warrior did something he never expected him to do. Instead of despising him and completely rejecting him he asked wholeheartedly to become his friend. And with just one simple word, the broken heart of a broken demon mended.

He became Yu’s anchor, the one who saved him from the monstrous angel who was also dormant in his body. 

 

23. Dain (Deltora Quest)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
7/10	6/10	12/20	25/40

The shy boy with the sweet smile was nothing more than a disgusting traitor here to sabotage the heroes entire quest.

He put his life on the line more than once to acquire their trust and it worked, however, he got what he deserved in the end.

Nothing hurts more than the betrayal of a comrade you could entrust your back to. It is only fair that the traitor would die by their hands when his true face was revealed.

 

22. Yuki Sohma (Fruits Basket)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
7/10	7/10	13/20	27/40

Called the “Prince Charming” of the school, Yuki is a man of rare beauty and charisma. Already an accomplished person despite his young age, you’ll be shocked to know that he has little to no self esteem even though he has his own fan club.

Abused for most of his childhood by his family and suffering from an eternal curse, the boy grew up broken, isolated in a lonely cage, unable to create any kind of bond with any human being.

However, with the help of some good samaritans, he managed to break out of his shell and was even elected as the President of the Student Council.

 

21. Kaname Tōsen (Bleach)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
7/10	7/10	13/20	27/40

He turned out a villain in the end but didn’t it add to his Kakkoiness a bit? The blind Captain surprised us all with his immense strength and his proud and imposing aura, and for a guy so pure and just his treachery was even more shocking.

However, the explanation for his actions are quite simple. His motto in life is to “take the path with least bloodshed.”

He just believed, after witnessing Aizen’s OPness, that siding with him would ultimately spare some unnecessary deaths.

 

20. Rock (Nanbaka)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
7/10	7/10	14/20	28/40

Rock is a criminal imprisoned for starting a gang riot just for fun. See, the guy is obsessed with fighting, if he could marry it he would. And just for info, his hair was entirely purple, he just thought that dying it red would look cool. Well, it doesn’t.

As expected from a muscle head, he is an extremely brutal and violent individual who will always respond with his fists.

That was until a miracle happened, he found something he loved more than brawling, a thing that I think we all love more than anything (excluding anime) and that’s FOOD.

After he discovered his passion for yuminess, he mellowed out just like a marshmallow. If he ever loses his temper, throw him a bone and you’ll be safe.

 

19. Kamui Gakupo (Maker Hikoushiki Hatsune Mix)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
7/10	7/10	14/20	28/40

Kamui is a Vocaloid. What’s a Vocaloid? It’s a program that makes artificial singers, just to make things clear, he doesn’t come from any anime but for some reason is considered an anime character. Maybe because he is hot and popular.

His design is very aesthetic and sophisticated considering he was released in 2008. Even up till now, he is considered one of best and highest quality Vocaloids ever created. 

 

18. Hanzo Urushihara AKA Lucifer (The Devil Is A Part-Timer)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
7/10	7/10	15/20	29/40

He calls himself Lucifer not because he thinks it’s a cool nickname or anything, the guy is really our famous fallen angel.

He became one of the Demon Lords’ subordinates and was then defeated by the Hero Emilia when she attacked their kingdom.

When he found himself in the human world, Olba Meyer, a sketchy individual who obviously was only spouting lies, promised him to give his back his holy title if he helped him kill his former master.

As expected he miserably lost, was magnificently punished and ended up moving back in with his Lord who is now a McDonald’s employee.

 

17. James (Pokemon)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
7/10	7/10	15/20	29/40

When Pokemon first began, James was just a loyal and very serious soldier who was always reciting his team’s motto with a bit too much elegance and grace.

His character started to develop and it turned out that the poor soul had a very difficult childhood. Abused by his wealthy parents, by his uptight fiancé, by all the noble society around him. 

He rebelled, however, deep down he still fears them. Normal that he would turn out a villain, but he is a unique one, since he still has a kind heart somewhere inside him.

He helped Ash and company more than once and even requested their assistance on multiple occasions.

 

16. Shinomori Aoshi (Rurouni Kenshin)

Appeal	Personality	Popularity	Total
7/10	7/10	15/20	29/40

A genius amongst genius and not only with a sword. A master of stealth, information gathering and strategic planning, he is a guy you do not want as an enemy.

At only 15 he was already the leader of the famous and terrifying Oniwabanshū onmitsu and fiercely led through many ruthless battlefields.

Fit for a man who never ever smiles, he is just cold. He says what’s necessary and nothing more. He cherishes and respects his comrades and was hell bent on avenging them when their lives were lost at the hands of his foes.

Confident in his immense abilities, he does not accept failure. However, when faced with it, his pride turns into obsession, an unconditional need to prove himself the strongest warrior and an undefeatable commander.

Currently, Tsubasa is the Treasurer of the Student Council. Very handsome and stylish, his bright smile sometimes lets us forget that he has been through way too much before arriving where he is today.

Thrown away by his parents after they divorced, his relatives who saw only a burden in him used to constantly fight over who would be stuck with taking care of the brat, especially since he was a crafty kid who loved to build random stuff.

Yeah, instead of finding that cool and extraordinary for a child, they thought he was creepy. Disgusting humans.

However, in the end, he drew the jackpot when his grandparents who cherished him managed to get custody. Later on, his grandpa died and he was devastated, he thought that instead of having to bear the pain. It would be better to just not love.

When his grandma realized his despair, she enrolled him in the Academy, however, her move backfired because the unsecured kid thought he was going to be abandoned once again.

From time to time the random desire of wanting to destroy the world just pops up in his head. But, despite the pinch of cuckooness, he is still a charismatic leader whose subordinates will follow with their eyes closed.

However, he is a cynical man by nature, a man who will not hesitate to cut down his followers even if they failed him even if it was just by accident. Deeply feared and at the same time extremely respected, he is a character one should always be wary of.

Suspected to be Eraser Head’s illegitimate son, he is a transfer student that enrolled in the Academy during his second year.

Stoic and hot in a peculiar kind of way, he has the annoying ability to make everyone around him open his heart to him, even the shy and introverted ones.

Very manipulative, he has a way with words, he knows exactly what to say to get the info that he wants or make you act as he likes. He is a character that favors results over method, so dirty moves are absolutely welcome. 

And his Quirk is perfect for him, however, he was ostracized and feared because of it. Well, the thing is you can’t help but be wary of a guy who has a brainwashing power after all.

A lazy giant in love with candy with always a scary look on his face, you’d think he is a proud, serious and cold guy, but truth is, he is only an overgrown baby.

He only plays basketball because his height is a huge advantage. All he has to do is stay near the basket and stop every single enemy shot. He doesn’t even break a sweat to do so. And just like that he became the ultimate wall of defense.

He always said he hated the sports, turns out he was only kidding himself since all the competitiveness and passion came out when he finally met an opponent who gave him not just a hard time but a hard defeat as well.

The second son of Big Mom, a man said to have never laid on his back, respected and feared across the vast oceans, he is a character that presented to us one of the most EPIC fights of the entire One Piece anime, maybe even, of the entire anime universe.

Proud, stoic and very confident, who would ever thought that his guilty pleasure was to enjoy huge donuts while comfortably laying on a furry bed behind closed doors that no one has the right to even touch.

With his overgrown month that he constantly hides behind a scarf he can gobble them up in one magnificent bite, that’s a talent that I would like to acquire.

My heart aches for this beautiful soul that died way too soon and way too young. Everybody talks about Killua and Zoro being the most loyal anime characters, well Shorter should be right up there with them.

He threw himself into one of the most messed up gang fights against invincible mafia Don’s to support his friend and as a result he suffered one of the most agonizing deaths.

Drugged and forced to kill Eiji, he practically begged Ash to end his life so he doesn’t commit an unforgivable sin. And it fell on the one who cherished him the most to dirty his hand with his hot blood.

The King of Time might be a quack but we can’t help but love him. His twisted personality is just attractive.

I have watched the series at least three times by now and I still can’t make up my mind if the guy is with the good ones or if he is a villain. He is just confusing.

One thing is for sure, he doesn’t care about anyone but himself. Everything that matters is his own enjoyment. So if he was to make Rin go berserk to have fun that is perfectly okay and if he has to put his brother in mortal danger for a good laugh, that’s just fine as well.

We all have that one thing we love to eat. We could eat it every day and it still wouldn’t be enough, we can’t even get bored of it.

Well, Shuu is experiencing the same thing, however, his refined pallet is addicted not to something but someone, our MC the delicious one eyed ghoul, Kaneki Ken.

He already had some loose screws, but the craziness multiplied by ten when he got a taste of his blood, especially since he knew it was going to be nearly impossible to get some more.

Completely obsessed with the young boy, he’d be disgusted to know that some sadist had three days of fun spilling his blood right and left and didn’t even think of having a taste. What a waist.

A stoic samurai, honorable, elegant and deadly, his most distinguished quality is his incomparable beauty.

Always composed and cool, he is freezing cold toward strangers and caring towards his comrades. Extremely loyal, you can entrust your back to him knowing that he’d rather die himself then let you get injured.

A workaholic criminal that executes all his requests perfectly. Not especially in love with money, let’s say he is just meticulous. 

A prodigious driver, as his name indicates his job is to deliver stuff, most of the time deadly weapons, illegal information, even people.

Extremely rude, merciless, emotionless and cold hearted, killing is part of his everyday life. However, when a greater goal appeared before him, a goal that will help the persecution of his kind disappear, he chose to put his life on the line to fulfill it.

You can say that he is a weird one. He moved from the great city to a faraway small village in the middle of nowhere. 

He hated the creepy place and yet when he realized that something fishy was going on, instead of running away like a normal person, he decided to stay and sabotage Kirishikis’ plan of making the place into a “Shiki Town.”

A noble gesture, however, he must have thought himself an idiot despite his bright brain when he turned into a monster himself.

I know they look more reddish than purple, but I swear his hair does fit in this category, and it’s an official statement of the author himself. I believe he knows better than us what the hair color of the character he created.

We all know who Yami is, he is a legendary figure in the anime world after all. The undefeated card player who hooked us all to the awesome game was a pharaoh that died and his soul is now dwelling in the body of a loser.

Extremely kind, very intelligent, even hot when he takes control of the puny human, he can create excitement with just the draw of a card even though we all know beforehand that it’s going to be the right one.

Hello, Touka’s brother. Sucks for you your sister wins again, she stole first place in her category, but we can still give you a nice try for your bronze medal.

Extremely arrogant and short tempered, he can burst in anger because of the smallest things. Very harsh and obstinate, he thinks he is always right, and I can tell you one thing, that’s just not true.

He puts up a strong facade trying to hide the deep feelings that he has for his sister. Every cruel thing he did to her was to spare her greater pain along the way.

A kid wanted a country, we just didn’t expect the fantasy dream of a brat to become reality. The King of Sindria built his kingdom from scratch. 

The OP God full of charisma and determination proved that with hard work, dedication, lots of deception plus a hint of wholehearted honesty, you can achieve anything.

Cocky as he has the right to be, brimming with confidence and pride, he is a character that made us want to push forward with our own strength to grab the things that we desire.

The only character who deserved 1st place was obviously the extremely famous and adored Trunks. He is a man that saved the Earth and some other planets along the way more times than we can count.

As a kid, as a teenager coming from the future, as another version of him in a different timeline, there is one thing that doesn’t change, the lives of his family and his friends comes before all.

Extremely strong, Kakkoii in so many ways, and don’t forget that he is also royalty, there is not one Otaku on this planet that doesn’t worship him. 

 

Conclusion

I think this list proves it—scratch the idea that purple means evil, purple means kind with mental issues. 

I know how appealing that hair color is, so I do hope to find some anime that you haven’t watched yet where you will be able to enjoy the purpleness.

So what’s next on your To Watch List?
