Seraph of the End: The Anime’s 10 Most Hated Characters, Ranked – CBR – Comic Book Resources

Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign, which is more popularly known simply as Seraph of the End, is a dark-fantasy-vampire manga that was written by Takaya Kagami. It made its first appearance in 2012 Jump Square, and its popularity was such that only 3 years later, its first anime episode debuted on television.

This is the story of two long lost childhood friends who find each other years later, but on opposing sides of a never-ending war, and it tugged at many people's heartstrings. While most fans enjoyed the anime to its fullest, there were some who were pretty vocal about their criticisms concerning some of the characters from the series. Here are 10 of the series' most disliked characters, and no spoiler warnings are needed as this list spoils nothing from the anime.

Shinoa started off as being a quirky and extremely likable character who listened to nobody but herself. She was strong, opinionated, and a fierce warrior. However, she soon fell into the "I'm randomly in love with this Shounen's protagonist for no good reason except for the fact that he exists."

Needless to say, this ticked off a lot of fans, especially considering how Shinoa x Yuuichiro was supposed to be one of the main ships of the anime, which meant fans expected more development than they received.

Krul's looks are extremely deceptive because behind that innocent little face lies a monster. Sheis manipulative and selfish, and she has many secrets that she's kept from her vampire brethren, including the identity of her brother.

She also saved Mikaela's life not out of mercy or pity but because she has a hidden agenda, and worst of all, she disregarded his consent and turned him into a vampire.

Mitsuba was another female character who had great potential but was ruined because she, too, was bitten by the "I'm crushing on the Shounen's protagonist for no good reason" bug. Not only that, but she also gets jealous easily, has a selfish streak, and behaves as if Yuuis the only boy to ever exist.

Letus also not forget that because of her actions on the battlefield, her entire squad got annihilated.

Chess is exactly like her appearance: childish, immature, and careless. These are not the kind of qualities one looks in seasoned warriors or people who hold high ranks in one of the many vampire groups.

Not only that, but shehas also shown on multiple occasions that she lets her blood lust get the best of her, making her an extremely unreliable partner on the field.

Heis often compared with Eren Yaeger from Attack on Titan, and the same criticisms are used for him as well. Heis hot-headed, moody, and often lets his emotions cloud his judgments.

He shows regular disregard for authority, and he often goes into battle alone causing his friendsto be forced to accompany him, as well as clean up his mess after him.

Despite his devilishly good looks, Ferid is a merciless killing machine. In the first episode itself, heis shown slaughtering young children for no other reason than to terrorize them and to entertain himself. Not only that, but he also sucks their blood in front of the other children.

Apart from that, heis cunning, manipulative, and has no sense of loyalty. Heis self-serving and selfish. He isexactly like those rats that are the first to abandon a sinking ship.

In the anime, Crowley is an excellent vampire leader. However, as a person (or non-person), thereis not a single redeeming quality or likable feature about him.

Heis ruthless, considers humans as nothing more than livestock, and is shown to be emotionally detached to even his own kind.

Mahiru once used to be a human, but now sheis a demon. Not a lot of information is shared about her in the anime (the manga is a lot more detailed), but itis sufficient to say that as a demon, she is totally consumed by her bloodlust.

Making matters worse, she lusts the most for the blood of Guren, a man she once loved and wanted to marry. She manipulates his mind and controls his actions, and also enjoys watching him do her bidding.

Hate for Guren makes more sense to those who have read the manga. Without giving away spoilers, heis hated because of how easily he lets Mahiru influence him, and how his actions on the battlefield cost him the lives of his loved ones.

His complete selfishness also practically doomed the lives of the beings who did manage to survive.

Consumed by power and arrogance, Kureto's ego cannot tolerate disrespect. Heis ruthless and manipulative, like others on this list, and does not think twice before abandoning his own men on the battlefield if it serves his own purposes.

His ultimate goal is to "rule" the world and needless to say, that is exactly the kind of ambition that villains dream of coming to fruition.
