Sasha’s dad makes sense, he’s a parent trying to do good for his family and helps to give children guidance on how to not only survive but live a content full life. Hange for me personally, someone who even in the end was curious by everything even as the world was being flattened.
OMG... FINALLY A FELLOW SASHA'S DAD ENJOYER He isn't my absolute favorite in AoT but he's one of my favorite in the entire show. The restaurant scene just hits so much
Sanji is my all-time problematic fave. Oda’s writing in Thriller Bark, Fishman Island, and that one onsen scene in Wano damaged him for me, but I used to be a sous chef and had a crusty older mentor there. No body parts were sacrificed on my behalf, but Baratie hit me hard
yup, he really grew up from a selfish immature jockey to something which i can't describe how beautiful his journey of development through this race was amazing.
I think the only other characters that come close are samwise gamgee, and the villain from part 7 (no spoilers) because of the critique of colonialism and america araki embodies in them.
Sylvia Sherwood from Spy x Family takes my favorite side character. Her story comes in tiny moments that just hurt and push her motivation for a safe country ahead. She understands war, loss, and grief, and she wants to end it in its tracks.
Side characters are always my favorite character. I think it's because we don't know a lot about them so there is an air of mystery. Also, it could be because they aren't overexposed. My favorite character in my favorite tv show stopped being my favorite character because they did so many backstory reveals and someone from his past reappearing that he was no longer this character with an airy of mystery. Also, I just finished Akane-banashi and I love it. And I can't believe I where I did, just by coincidence. It's like when you caught up with One Piece right at Gear 5.
Sasha's Dad that's definitely an interesting choice but for me it's Armin or Erwin, then for HxH I'd say Hisoka or Kurapika, JoJo's I'd say Josuke part 4 and Johnny part 7, FMAB I'm going with my boy Alphonse or Scar, and for OP it's Sanji without a doubt his pros clearly outweighs the cons for me.
Im genuinely curious who your fav character would be for Dorohedoro and Golden Kamuy if you ever come to watching/reading those two I bet it would be Johnson for Dorohedoro, such an emotional impact, he stole my heart with his profound words like "SHOCKING!!!" and "SQUEEEE!!!"
My personal favourites are Hange, Jean and Reiner from Aot, Thorfinn, Askeladd and Einar from Vinland… Riza Hawkeye from Fmab, Kurapika from HxH… Sasaki Kojiro and Musashi from Vagabond… Frieren, Himmel, Heiter and Isen from Frieren.. Grimmer and Tenma from Monster… Robin,Usopp, Ace and Nami from Op..
I pretty much called all of these that came from series I've partaken in. You tend to love the protectors because you yourself relate to the emotion of wanting to protect. I've been with your channel for a couple of years now and I remember how excited you were when the adoption went through, and you are very clearly one of the most loving mothers/partners on this platform. Even before then, you have always shown that soft spot for families either found or blood related.
Great that you included Morel because Killua is the main character of one arc at least, even if he isn't featured as a main character as often as Gon or Kurapika.
I appreciate your mentioning about Spy x family once again 😍💖🤺 (even I loved and cried to the school headmaster character development and to his backstory as well 😭🌊🖤)
Guts from Berserk is my all time fave anime/manga character. When I was younger I just loved this guy with no powers and a big sword killing so many things that seemed beyond what he could. As I grew older a lot of the themes, subtleties and nuance of his character made me love him even more.
For me wut makes a character my fav in a series is never 1 thing. It's jus based on my experience wit that series & wut aspect I grab onto the most at the time. I could like their personality, their character arc, the themes they express or represent, their design etc. I do tend to have the main protag or at least deuteragonist as my fav tho
Read Baccano it’s about New York bootleggers in the prohibition era urban fantasy with some of the best most memorable characters in fiction my favorite is Firo one of the best light novel series you will every read the author is a genius
They're rare, but my favorite its the "Op mysterious Traveler" character. They often become a one shot mini mentor for the protag. Often humbuling them, then teaching them some advanced skill, then leaving in the same chapter/episode. Other then them, the Villians so dangerous that make the protag and antag work together.
This is such a fun list!! I love all of the characters you listed, they really encapsulate a lot of what each of these series are at their core, or at least the ones that’s I’ve seen. I think it would be really fun to see who your most hated characters from these series are! My favorite characters of the shows you’ve mentioned that I’ve seen are: One Piece-Sanji (my fav character ever) Attack on Titan-Levi Naruto-Neji Frieren-Himmel Delicious in Dungeon-Chilchuck HxH-Killua, h.m. Meruem Jojo’s-Dio SpyxFamily-Yor Vinland Saga-Canute FMA-Ling Yao
As someone who's favorite AOT character is Sasha, I get it, her dad is cool Ps: My favorite characters usually are characters that are kind to others, Sasha, Chopper, Alphonse, Naruto ( I'm kinda lying, my fave is Madara but cmon, he is just cool lol).
My favourite characters are usually the ones I look up to, or the ones that try to become better people (bonus point if they die trying) For example in Frieren, Himmel is by far my favourite character. In HxH it's probably Meruem (Killua most likely close second).
My 2 favorite characters from some of the shows you selected. Those missing are shows I haven't watch or read : One Piece : Robin & Usopp Naruto : Itachi & Gaara Dragon Ball : Vegeta, Android 18 SNK : Mikasa & Jean Frieren : Frieren & Ubel (the crazy green hair mage who likes to cut everything) Mob Psyco 100 : Reigen & Dimple (bonus for the body improvement club) Delicious in Dungon : Senshi & Marcille Spy Family : Anya & Yor
One manga that I hope she reads which the chances are less than 1% is Domestic Girlfriend just so that I can get her thoughts on who should have won at the end. One of my favorite characters is Misaki Ogura who a small manga part but loved how they wrote her. It's such a great trashy manga if you exclude the last 10 chapters since they are hated by most everyone
i am naturally very boring. i tend to like the main characters because 9 times out of 10, they get the most characterization, they change, and grow, and learn and morph. If an event happens in the story, there is a good chance theyll be there. When i was younger and homestuck was a thing, despite the huge cast of like at least in theory 32 different main characaters, the very first one youre introduced to that you spend a fuck load of time with,was the one i was attached to weirdly enough, if its a videogame, suddenly my favorite character is a minor enemy that looks goofy tho
Most of the typical favorite character are usually the protagonist on the "sexy & strong cool guy" of the show (aka Zoro, Gojo) Meanwhile you have Merphy over there gushing about background characters. I think it's really adorable.
To be honest, my favourite from JoJo's are : 1. *DIO* : of course, the most charismatic villain in all of anime media, I love how he is a small reason in the occurrence of every jojo part and how out of all the things he found a road roller to super smash my man jotaro and later he punches the truck with his stand from one one side. 2. *Johnny Joestar* : (sorry guys, merphy haven't finished SBR yet ) I know I could have thrown some words I but I'd rather let merphy feel the suspense. Also how many chapters have you done reading for part 7, please give some updates merphy. Thank you for your kind attention for reading this comment❤
One of my favorite characters was also a side character. In Doors of Sleep by Tim Pratt we meet Minna who is a plant/tree/vegetation alien woman. The lead guy can hop dimensions/worlds and she joins him as a well done villain chases after him for his power. You used the word "darling". Minna is darling. She is smart, capable, dedicated, and a bio-scientist without equal and you cheer for her. There is also a small A.I. and the three of them have a great dynamic. The sequel, Prison of Sleep, is still good but suffers as Minna and the A.I. are barely in it. I suspect one reason we attach to side characters is because there is an added risk and they become interesting to read. Most of the time we know the lead is going to live through everything. But the side character might not make it or becomes the target to get to the lead so we get protective of them.
My fav character of ALL the anime bla bla is 💯💯💯 SAKATA GINTOKI. People who haven't watched Gintama yet,they reaaaally miss not the best story ever but also the best shonnen character.
Vegeta and piccolo are main characters 🤣 they were both literally main antagonists who became right hand men to goku. Nah you gotta give dragon ball then dragon ball z actual side characters
Thanks for reporting your list about the majority of your favourite characters from manga, Napier (including Vinland Saga, Mob Psycho 100, Naruto and Hunter x hunter 👍💪👊)
My favorite character is Poco from JoJo because he showed his butt. But let's get serious, my favorite character in all of JoJo is I think Gyro Zeppeli from Part 7. He's the ultimate mentor of the protagonist, acting as a mentor and also a bestfriend for Johnny. (Spoiler if you still haven't finish Part 7) the fact that Gyro completed his task of saving the innocent child through Johnny is just beautiful.
Morel is not side enough. I would choose Reina or her mom. Scar is also not side enough. I might pick old man Fu and captain Buccaneer just because of that scene.
Hi Merphy! Really enjoyed your video! Not sure if you are taking recommendations, but since you like Yona of the Dawn, may I recommend My Happy Marriage? It is a Fantasy/Supernatural romance and the light novel has 8 volumes currently out. Theres also an anime airing on Netflix. Would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Hhmmm and yet Merphy you really do not like sasha...also the her dads name is *artur braus* But Merphy for you its not about the characters right. Its about what they represents and I respect that. AND I LOVE HUGHES from fullmetal alchemist...
Merphy has tried Berserk, and spoken to friends who love the story about it's content, and came to the conclusion that this story wasn't for her (she has hard line for stories that cross her personal triggers for child abuse and sexual assault)
Sasha’s dad makes sense, he’s a parent trying to do good for his family and helps to give children guidance on how to not only survive but live a content full life. Hange for me personally, someone who even in the end was curious by everything even as the world was being flattened.
I lowkey respect that Merphy doesn't even bother to look up the names of her favorite side characters 😂😂
💯
Highkey
She is channeling part of Luffy's spirit in the "remembering names" department.
@@ropecrewman36 Actually it's kind of the opposite. Luffy 'remembers' names when people are important to him
Mr. Braus's forrest speech is one of my favorite parts of AOT.
Always been interested in this type of video from you since your favorite characters are always so unique! 😌
The ghost girl's name is Reimi. I legit cried for her at the end of part 4 because spoilers.
OMG... FINALLY A FELLOW SASHA'S DAD ENJOYER
He isn't my absolute favorite in AoT but he's one of my favorite in the entire show. The restaurant scene just hits so much

10/10 favorite character list :)
Johnny joestar may have the best character development ever so he is my favourite in JoJo's
yup, he really grew up from a selfish immature jockey to something which i can't describe how beautiful his journey of development through this race was amazing.
That's also my favorite character in all works I've read/watched
I think the only other characters that come close are samwise gamgee, and the villain from part 7 (no spoilers) because of the critique of colonialism and america araki embodies in them.
@@willi-ham2011yeah, lord of the rings
Ohh wow good memories
Yare yare
Love Johnny but I preffer Gyro.

Having Sasha's dad as a favorite is honestly an amazing choice ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sasha's Dad that's definitely an interesting choice but for me it's Armin or Erwin, then for HxH I'd say Hisoka or Kurapika, JoJo's I'd say Josuke part 4 and Johnny part 7, FMAB I'm going with my boy Alphonse or Scar, and for OP it's Sanji without a doubt his pros clearly outweighs the cons for me.
Love seeing people's different favourite anime's or manga or characters or just anything really.
My boy Kuma got snubbed 😢
Kuma is still very high on my list
Im genuinely curious who your fav character would be for Dorohedoro and Golden Kamuy if you ever come to watching/reading those two
I bet it would be Johnson for Dorohedoro, such an emotional impact, he stole my heart with his profound words like "SHOCKING!!!" and "SQUEEEE!!!"
Merphy forgot Monster I think, but since we have the same favourite I'll say it, its Grimmer, The Magnificent Steiner!!
Grimmer is absolutely my favorite in Monster!
its ok merphy, Raditz is my favorite DBZ character
My personal favourites are Hange, Jean and Reiner from Aot, Thorfinn, Askeladd and Einar from Vinland… Riza Hawkeye from Fmab, Kurapika from HxH… Sasaki Kojiro and Musashi from Vagabond… Frieren, Himmel, Heiter and Isen from Frieren.. Grimmer and Tenma from Monster… Robin,Usopp, Ace and Nami from Op..

This is the video I didnt think I wanted but surely needed. Good work!

I’m sure Parona being your favourite To Your Eternity character has nothing to do with the name being similar to a certain ghost girl.
I loved this.
Kakashi, Sanji, Gohan, Thorfinn, Mob
I just love Witch Hat Atelier and how the laws of the magic system tie in so will to Coco's story and her beliefs at the start.
For me wut makes a character my fav in a series is never 1 thing. It's jus based on my experience wit that series & wut aspect I grab onto the most at the time. I could like their personality, their character arc, the themes they express or represent, their design etc.
I do tend to have the main protag or at least deuteragonist as my fav tho

This is such a fun list!! I love all of the characters you listed, they really encapsulate a lot of what each of these series are at their core, or at least the ones that’s I’ve seen. I think it would be really fun to see who your most hated characters from these series are!
My favorite characters of the shows you’ve mentioned that I’ve seen are:
One Piece-Sanji (my fav character ever)
Attack on Titan-Levi
Naruto-Neji
Frieren-Himmel
Delicious in Dungeon-Chilchuck
HxH-Killua, h.m. Meruem
Jojo’s-Dio
SpyxFamily-Yor
Vinland Saga-Canute
FMA-Ling Yao
As someone who's favorite AOT character is Sasha, I get it, her dad is cool
Ps: My favorite characters usually are characters that are kind to others, Sasha, Chopper, Alphonse, Naruto ( I'm kinda lying, my fave is Madara but cmon, he is just cool lol).
My favourite characters are usually the ones I look up to, or the ones that try to become better people (bonus point if they die trying)
For example in Frieren, Himmel is by far my favourite character.
In HxH it's probably Meruem (Killua most likely close second).
I didn't expect a honorable mention from quite a good manga that is "to your eternity", I like that 👍
For Naruto, Shikamaru is my third favorite character. My other favorites include Itachi, Sasuke, and Minato (4th Hokage).
My 2 favorite characters from some of the shows you selected. Those missing are shows I haven't watch or read :
One Piece : Robin & Usopp
Naruto : Itachi & Gaara
Dragon Ball : Vegeta, Android 18
SNK : Mikasa & Jean
Frieren : Frieren & Ubel (the crazy green hair mage who likes to cut everything)
Mob Psyco 100 : Reigen & Dimple (bonus for the body improvement club)
Delicious in Dungon : Senshi & Marcille
Spy Family : Anya & Yor
Series as in manga and not books, movies, TV shows right because 20 minutes is pretty short.
My favorite characters are usually the main characters.
Good side characters also deserve some love.
They are lucky you're here for them ;)
RAHHHH!!! 🗣️ 🗣️ YUBA WILL NOT GIVE IN TO THE SAND 🗣️ 🗣️ I love Todo so much
You should watch Evangelion lol, I think you would love Kaworu
Shikamaru still pretty popular surprisingly saw his name twice this week while playing League of Legends
One manga that I hope she reads which the chances are less than 1% is Domestic Girlfriend just so that I can get her thoughts on who should have won at the end. One of my favorite characters is Misaki Ogura who a small manga part but loved how they wrote her. It's such a great trashy manga if you exclude the last 10 chapters since they are hated by most everyone
4:24 I'm just gonna cry as a YotD manga reader 😭
I wanna know your favorite character from each part of jojo
Sasuke Uchiwa is still my favorite characters
second is Gojo but Gojo is a special case
Ugly crying because I love hearing about Old man Voll
i am naturally very boring. i tend to like the main characters because 9 times out of 10, they get the most characterization, they change, and grow, and learn and morph. If an event happens in the story, there is a good chance theyll be there.

Meanwhile you have Merphy over there gushing about background characters. I think it's really adorable.
For Vinland Saga, Hild is the best for me, she is so complex and conflicted.
My favorite characters are always slimy bastards, lol
surprised you didn’t pick Kuma as your favorite One Piece character but Corazon/Toto also feels correct.
To be honest, my favourite from JoJo's are :
1. *DIO* : of course, the most charismatic villain in all of anime media, I love how he is a small reason in the occurrence of every jojo part and how out of all the things he found a road roller to super smash my man jotaro and later he punches the truck with his stand from one one side.

I know I could have thrown some words I but I'd rather let merphy feel the suspense.
Also how many chapters have you done reading for part 7, please give some updates merphy.
Thank you for your kind attention for reading this comment❤
One of my weird favorites that gets some side eyes from people is Kabuto from Naruto. I just really like seeing that whole arc from beginning to end.
One of my favorite characters was also a side character. In Doors of Sleep by Tim Pratt we meet Minna who is a plant/tree/vegetation alien woman. The lead guy can hop dimensions/worlds and she joins him as a well done villain chases after him for his power. You used the word "darling". Minna is darling.

Would Merphy cosplay as Spensa?
My fav character of ALL the anime bla bla is 💯💯💯 SAKATA GINTOKI.
People who haven't watched Gintama yet,they reaaaally miss not the best story ever but also the best shonnen character.
Great choices! Please read black clover!!
Please read Kingdom and World Trigger. I want to know your favorite characters from those mangas.
Vegeta and piccolo are main characters 🤣 they were both literally main antagonists who became right hand men to goku. Nah you gotta give dragon ball then dragon ball z actual side characters
Im surprised that you like Vegeta of all people lol. I did not expect that. I prefer Piccolo as the best redeemable character in DB
monogatari, demon slayer, and re: zero are the hardest to pick best character
I haven't seen Monogatari or Re:Zero yet, but from what I've heard, aren't Araragi and Subaru leagues above anyone else in their casts?
Given what I’ve seen here, I think merphy might enjoy clannad
Favourite character Akio no contest
watch the type-moon including all FATE series. You will like it.
You are a penguin
🐧💙✝️🎆
9:33 Reimi Sugimoto
After watching this, I'd like to recommend you to watch Sangatsu no Lion if you haven't
Greatest character in all of fiction is Monkey D. Luffy.
My favourite Jojo character is my profile pic :)
