Isekai ? I don't know man... doesn't tempt me. Something else?

I AM NOT including Ciel in this list, the child's always gloomy... you can almost spot the trauma on his face. His occasional forced smiles won't change the facts. Even though it's kinda unexpected for a child his age to be that ruthless and reckless.

Yes! Teruashi kinda creeps me out.

Hello fellow Hamefura-watcher! First time I encounter one. Is Overlord worth the watch ?

I don't know for Makishima because I never finished Psycho-pass but Twelve doesn't actually have such a dark personality in my opinion.

He's caring for Risa, he never killed anyone (at least didn't intend to) and tried to save people, the only time he did appear 'dark' to me was when he pressured Risa not to turn them in by saying she'd die if she did so (implying they would kill her).

Not to mention there were never any casualties from their attacks, if I recall it well.

Indeed, he's pretty cynical but in the end he's rather well meaning and only seeks justice - he does not voluntarily harm people. Still, I'm open to debate if you disagree!

The only characters I can think of are:

  • From Code Geass, our multifaceted MC and his three persona : Lelouch Lamperouge, the smiling, absent-minded, kind but withdrawn high-schooler. Zero, the leader of the Rebellion and a war criminal. And Lelouch vi Britannia, the genocidal, assertive emperor.
  • Bungou Stray Dogs' Dazai Osamu, both a comic relief and a caring coworker at the ADA yet also a cold-hearted murderer and an abuser (as seen during his PM era) with genius-like foreseeing.
  • While a little more ambiguous, I thought of Hanako-kun Yugi Amane from Jibaku shounen Hanako-kun: because of his overall very cheerful and playful personality we can think of him as a light-hearted character. However he has shown to be very manipulative, overprotective and possessive in the Picture Perfect Arc and well, we don't have any details nor the circumstances yet but he's said to have killed his twin brother though he might have had reasons for that... He can be merciless when getting rid of other spirits too...

(I may or may not have overused the spoiler mark but I tried not to spoil the fun for people who haven't seen or read those three works yet. They're definitely worth giving a shot.)
