10 Best Rare Anime Girl Names That You Should Watching Update 04/2024

 Every once in a while, a series comes along that makes the controversial choice to kill off its main character. Creators kill characters for a multitude of reasons, but it’s important for them to remember that a character’s death has to have an impact. A death thrown in for shock value or one that doesn’t serve any purpose to the story or another character’s growth is a death wasted, and it cheapens the story that it’s meant to enhance.

Some series are notorious for character deaths, such as Game of Thrones, while others are more conservative with their death scenes (if they choose to show any at all). Nevertheless, well-written character deaths can set the premise for a series or give it a satisfying ending.

7. Devilman Crybaby: Ryo’s Drive For Revenge Ends Up Killing His Best Friend

Devilman Crybaby is an original net animation based on the original manga series Devilman, and it’s one hell of a ride (pun fully intended). The animation is smooth and brilliant and the series is unapologetic in its depictions of sex and gore. Akira Fudo is an ordinary, albeit overly sensitive, high school student who reunites with his childhood friend, Ryo Asuka.

After a violent event at an underground nightclub, Akira gains the abilities of a Devilman by channeling the power of Amon. It turns out that Ryo is the reincarnation of the fallen angel Satan and intends to destroy humans while sparing Akira since that’s the only person he ever cared for.

But it turns out that Kotaro Tatsumi has plans for Sakura, as he revives her using necromancy and intends to use her as a member of an idol group in the hopes of revitalizing the Saga prefecturein Japan. It’s a nonsensical plan and Kotaro isn’t open about how he intends to fulfill his goal using a zombie idol group, but the premise of this series is completely reliant on Sakura’s unfortunate death.

While the typical modern isekai plot consists of a plain, well-intentioned youth meeting an untimely demise while trying to protect someone else, there is no such noble death for Kazuma. Instead, Kazuma’s death is a comical and arguably unnecessary event. He thought he was saving someone from getting run over, but in truth, the vehicle wasn’t moving fast enough to kill anyone, and Kazuma died from the shock of thinkingthat he was going to die. It’s a fitting introduction for an anime that ruthlessly parodies the average isekai.

3. Attack On Titan: Eren Chose To Sacrifice Himself In Order To Save Humanity

Honestly, this series isn’t shy in killing off a large majority of its main cast and plenty of members of its secondary cast, not to mention the countless civilians who are consumed by Titans. It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise, then, for mangaka Hajime Isayama to have the confidence to kill off his own main character.

There are several circumstances and plot points in Attack on Titan that make Eren’s death necessary, inevitable, and foreseeable. For some, it was even satisfying to see him go.

2. Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni: Escaping Death Is The Goal For The Entire Main Cast

Not only does the main character Keiichi die multiple times, but the majority of the main cast are fated to meetgruesome, horrific deaths unless Rikaescapes the Hinamizawa of 1983. Character deaths are pivotal to this series, as the entire point is to solve a murder mystery and prevent the characters from having to meet their untimely demise. Although it seems as if the main characters are resurrected each time they’re killed and the scenario is reset, the truth is that they’re just occupying anothertimelinewhere they haven’t died yet.

The events of Cowboy Bebop are intended to show that it’s impossible to outrun your past and it’ll eventually catch up to you. That’s exactly what happened when Spike finally got the opportunity to play out his escape with Julia as far as he could. After her death, Spike realized he needed to face Vicious and set things right… or die trying.
