It's inevitable in almost any show you watch, but what are <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/saddest-anime-series-of-all-time/ranker-anime?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the saddest anime</a> deaths of all time? For this list we're ranking anime deaths that made you cry, or at least made you feel really sad. Since it's the funeral that often makes these deaths so sad, this list is also kind of a ranking of the saddest anime funerals of all time. There are a few that come to mind when you talk about sad anime funerals, but Maes Hughes from Fullmetal Alchemist has always stood out as particularly sad (mostly because his young daughter doesn't understand what is happening when the casket is lowered into the ground.)Please vote for the anime characters deaths that made you cry, and add any to the list if that character is not already here.

If you think glasses don't make someone cool, then you definitely watch anime. Here are the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/my-top-10-favorite-anime-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">greatest anime characters</a> that wear glasses, as voted on by fans like you. Glasses in anime can do different things for different characters. Whether it's a man or woman, they often make the character look sexier and more confident. It's not uncommon for villains for wear glasses, as it gives the character a more sinister look. Examples of this include Gengo Ikari from Neon Genesis Evangelion, Aizen from Bleach, and Kabuto from Naruto. When a powerful statement is being made by both heroes and villains, glasses in anime will sometimes shine a reflective light from them that is just downright terrifying. For <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-female-anime-characters/ranker-characters">female characters</a>, glasses always make them look really cute, giving them that innocent geek look that so many men love.

Since anime characters with tattoos are somewhat of a rarity, we've decided to let you vote for the very best ones. Can you name more than a handful of characters that have them? Don't worry if you can't; it's why we created this list of the coolest tatted anime characters. Some characters have tattoos that symbolize their bond with a certain group, such as Ace's Whitebeard tattoo in One Piece. Other characters sport a tribal tattoo that seems to only be for looks, like Renji from Bleach and Kamina from Gurren Lagan. Tattoos can serve as a reminder of the past, whether it's good or bad. Take Nami's tattoo that she recived from Arlong for example. Although he is a dark part of her past, the tatoo on her arm serves as a reminder of her years before joining the strawhat crew. &nbsp;Lots of people have adopted these anime tattoos into real ones. Remember when you thought you were the only one who had the idea to get the&nbsp;Ouroboros tattoo when you saw how cool they looked on the Homonculi? Tattoos from&nbsp;Fullmetal Alchemist are actually quite common, with people opting either for the Ouroboros symbol or a replica of Scar's arm.Anyways, check out the list below and vote for your <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/my-top-10-favorite-anime-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">favorite anime characters</a> that have tattoos! If one is missing, add it to the list so others can vote for that character too. Any character is fair game for this list, as long as they have a tattoo. &nbsp;

Anime Fights & Battles

Fictional Characters

Complicated anime powers can be awesome, but sometimes the most satisfying thing in the world is a straight-up punch to the face. This is especially true when it&#39;s a well-deserved one. With that in mind, let&#39;s take a look at some of the&nbsp;best anime punches that have ever been thrown.

It&#39;d be possible to make an entire list worth of punches thrown by Saitama of&nbsp;One Punch Man,&nbsp;but he appears just once on this list. Other amazing punches were thrown by characters like All Might, Leorio&nbsp;Paladiknight, and Eren Jaeger. There&#39;s even one&nbsp;from an anime that isn&#39;t focused on action - Seishuu Handa knocking out that calligraphy appraiser was both relatable and satisfying - if kind of a bad idea.

Which of these moments got your blood pumping?

Great Moments in Anime

Most anime deaths have some level of drama or gravitas attached to them, but some of them are truly epic moments featuring&nbsp;anime characters who went out in a blaze of glory.

Many of these characters lost their lives in high-stakes battles that they didn&#39;t even once consider running away from no matter how badly hurt they were. Zabuza Momochi might not have had usable arms, but that didn&#39;t mean he couldn&#39;t keep fighting mercenaries with a kunai in his mouth. Other moments involve major sacrifices that prove just how brave&nbsp;the character in question is - Lelouch Lamperouge&#39;s last moments proved that he was willing to do anything for lasting peace.

All of these scenes will do something to your emotions - which one gets your heart pumping the hardest?

Famous Anime Last Words That Will Make You Cry Like A Baby

Crystal Brackett

A lot of people die in anime. Like, a lot. And many of those times, it’s a beloved character, or at least a character of some import. Usually, the creators do justice to these characters, which results in some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-satisfying-anime-deaths-ever/felicia-miranda" target="_blank">most satisfying deaths in anime</a>. However,&nbsp;there are still a lot of lame deaths in anime. Sure,&nbsp;half of them are from Another, which is basically an animated Final Destination, but don't worry -&nbsp;there’s only one example from that show on this list.&nbsp;But Another isn’t the sole culprit in producing unsatisfying anime deaths. Sometimes, the animators just miss the mark. Most people would agree that&nbsp;there are few things more infuriating than an anti-climactic death. It’s okay for characters to die, but it better damn well serve a purpose. Compiled here are bad anime deaths that didn’t do the character justice in any way. Vote up the most disappointing and terribly lame deaths in anime.&nbsp;

14 Unsatisfying Anime Deaths That Didn't Do Great Characters Justice

Tasteful&nbsp;character deaths can be a great&nbsp;source of&nbsp;plot development. However, when a series botches a supposedly tragic death, it leads to&nbsp;unsatisfying&nbsp;narrative arcs that make you shake&nbsp;your fist at the laptop screen.Some of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-wtf-anime-endings/hannah-collins" target="_blank">worst anime endings</a> in history are caused&nbsp;by characters who died too soon, as a hero's&nbsp;untimely demise inadvertently&nbsp;closes the door on potentially fascinating plot lines.In Death Note, L's connection to the villainous Light Yagami deepens significantly just before his death. He goes down right as things are starting to get interesting, so much of his character development feels wasted.&nbsp;When&nbsp;a character dies&nbsp;prematurely,&nbsp;it's difficult not to think about what could have been.

Bro, in the context of this list,&nbsp;doesn&#39;t mean characters who skateboard and play beer bong, though it doesn&#39;t exclude characters who might do those things. Rather, anime characters who are bros are the kind of guys who you&#39;d actually want as a brother. They&#39;re fun-loving, cheerful guys who are loyal to their friends, and they encourage the people around them to be their best selves.&nbsp;

Some bros are like Kamina from&nbsp;Gurren Lagann&nbsp;and Reigen Arataka from&nbsp;Mob Psycho 100 -&nbsp;mentors who bring their younger mentees out of their shells and teach them about life. Others, like Eijiro Kirishima&nbsp;from&nbsp;My Hero Academia&nbsp;and Hairo Kineshi from&nbsp;The Disastrous Life of Saiki K&nbsp;are fountains of manly positivity who inspire the people around them.

No matter what role they play, all of these characters are true bros. Which ones are&nbsp;your favorites?

If you&#39;re going to learn how to fight from someone, it may as well be the strongest person, right? Well, maybe. While they have plenty to teach, truly powerful anime mentors aren&#39;t always easy to work with. They know what it takes to be truly strong, so if they&#39;re serious about getting your there, they&#39;ll push you to the brink. That&#39;s why Edward and Alphonse of&nbsp;FMA&nbsp;think of their mentor Izumi Curtis with a mixture of terror and respect.

She&#39;s one of the&nbsp;strongest anime mentors, but who are some of the others? Well, there&#39;s Whis from&nbsp;Dragon Ball Super,&nbsp;who is one of the strongest beings in any universe and has abilities that transcend what should be possible. There&#39;s also Kisuke Urahara from&nbsp;Bleach,&nbsp;whose matter-altering bankai is only one of his many skills. But it&#39;s not just shonen that these powerful mentors appear in - Yuko Ichihara from xxxHolic&nbsp;can grant any wish, and dodge any attack, no matter how drunk she is.&nbsp;

Vote up the powerful anime mentors you&#39;d most want to learn from.&nbsp;

A Tragic Hero is a long-standing literary trope that you&#39;re probably familiar with if you&#39;ve ever taken an English class. It involves a character who has a &#39;fatal flaw&#39; being unable to achieve happiness or being outright destroyed by their own flaw. This character can be a protagonist or an antagonist, but when it&#39;s an antagonist it&#39;s usually someone who is sympathetic despite their flaws.

Sometimes it&#39;s a genuinely positive trait that ends up being twisted into something awful - Ken Kaneki from&nbsp;Tokyo Ghoul&nbsp;was so focused on kindness that it prevented him from defending himself, then decided to focus on strength at the expense of those he originally hoped to protect. In other cases, it&#39;s a little more ambiguous - Kiritsugu Emiya believes in sacrificing individuals for the greater good, a morally debatable premise, and ends up seeing his own life ruined by those ideals.&nbsp;

Which of these tragic anime heroes has the saddest&nbsp;story?

13 Tragic Anime Heroes Who Are Hard Not To Pity

One of the great things about anime is that typically, shows will feature <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/my-top-10-favorite-anime-characters" target="_blank">a wonderful cast of&nbsp;supporting characters</a> with which to identify. The worst thing about anime, however, is that if you can't stomach the main protagonist, waiting for your favorite supporting character to show up can be excruciating.This problem intensifies when supporting characters who were originally important to the story end up being forgotten by the shows creators. Naruto and <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/why-dragon-ball-z-sucks/stephanroget?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Dragon Ball Z</a> are two famous examples of anime where the supporting cast was increasingly underutilized as the show&nbsp;progressed, much to the&nbsp;dismay of fans. In times like these, you have to wonder how bad it is to wish&nbsp;death upon&nbsp;the hero of your favorite show.&nbsp;Following this line of thought, here are 15 supporting anime characters that —&nbsp;intentionally or not —&nbsp;ended up outshining the&nbsp;protagonist. Despite their lack of screen time, these side characters are&nbsp;more compelling&nbsp;than the show's&nbsp;main attraction.&nbsp;

Mecha&nbsp;- giant humanoid&nbsp;robots piloted by actual human beings - are perhaps the most &quot;anime&quot; things out there, next to tsunderes and teenagers running down the street with bread in their mouth. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-mecha-anime/ranker-anime" target="_blank">Mecha anime</a> is a beloved genre, and there&#39;s a whole lot more to it than just awesome fights. Actually, what makes&nbsp;a mecha&nbsp;show truly great is the pilots.

For this list, &quot;best&quot; doesn&#39;t necessarily mean &quot;most skilled.&quot; While some of these characters possess incredible battle prowess, others are here because of their character development, or what they add to the story. Think &quot;best character who happens to pilot a giant robot&quot; not &quot;person you&#39;d hire for the job if you personally ran a fleet of mecha.&quot;

With that in mind, who are the&nbsp;best mecha pilots in anime? Many of them come from Gundam&nbsp;- from classic characters like Char Aznable&nbsp;to newer additions&nbsp;like&nbsp;Mikazuki Augus. Others appear outside in shows like&nbsp;<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-neon-genesis-evangelion-quotes/ranker-anime?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Neon Genesis Evangelion</a>, Code Geass,&nbsp;Soukyuu No Fafner,&nbsp;and more.

To become the best version of yourself, you need a teacher or mentor who can help you achieve your goals. Which <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-anime-teacher-characters/ranker-anime?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">anime sensei</a> is the best one for you? That depends on what your strengths and weaknesses are - and those are determined by your sign.&nbsp;

Libras can be so focused on balance that they struggle to make decisions, so having a mentor like&nbsp;One Punch Man&#39;s&nbsp;Saitama, who approaches his life with efficiency and simplicity, is a great way for that sign to improve on its weak points. Scorpios are obsessive people who need their intense energy directed toward something positive, something that&nbsp;Noboru Taki&nbsp;of&nbsp;Sound! Euphonium&nbsp;excels at. Pisceans who need a confidence boost can get one from Kamina of&nbsp;Gurren&nbsp;Lagann.&nbsp;

No matter what your sign might be, there&#39;s a skilled anime sensei who can teach to your learning style and help you be your best self.&nbsp;

Who Would Your Anime Sensei Be According To Your Zodiac Sign?

When most people remember the great anime of the past, they tend to focus on the protagonists and the villains. But no great anime is complete without a robust cast of side characters to fill out the world. Some are even more memorable than the protagonists themselves.&nbsp;

Who was the best anime side character the year you were born? If you were born in 1992, that would be Kazuma Kuwabara, Yusuke&#39;s best friend in&nbsp;Yu Yu Hakusho.&nbsp;Born in 2007? You get Kamina, the greatest bro in anime history.&nbsp;

This list is based not on when the anime in question debuted, but when these popular characters were on peoples&#39; minds - and when there are no other great contenders to squeeze them out. So, while&nbsp;DBZ&nbsp;has been around since 1989, it gets two spots in the ensuing years, since it&#39;s almost universally beloved.&nbsp;

Kamina

Kamina is listed on
