At least in anime, anyways. Seriosuly, name me ONE American character in an anime who doesn't fit under at least one of those. I think there was a black American oneshot character in Detective Conan once. Digimon Season 3 had an American sterotype, Pegasus from YGO is American and viewed as weird, and then there's that infamous "Worse Black Guy In Anime" clip floating around on youtube.

Sasuke's been almost completely ignored for the past load of chapters. Shit, the 9-tailed fox got character devlopment. His name's Kurama, and now he and Naruto are bros. I, for one, don't care if Sasuke's being ignored. I still say the brat needs to die the most painful death any anime/manga can give a character. *now going off to answer the thread* He just wants to kill kill kill kill kill and doesn't care about even those who should be closest to him. The allies that are helping him with his revenge? Let em die. Naruto and Sakura, who only want to help him? Kill em. Everyone in his path? Kill em. The innocent children of Konoha? They're part of Konoha therefor they need to die. Itachi? After all the crying and whining, Sasuke is completely ignoring what his brother stood for and will destroy everything that his brother sacrificed to save and preserve (the innocent people inside Konoha who'd be hurt by the Uchiha rebellion as well as Sasuke himself) and knows that he's ignoring his brother's wishes (like Sasuke having a life outside of revenge, peace in Konoha, etc.) and yet has the gall to cover that with vengeance against the entire village instead of JUST the elders who ordered Itachi to kill the entire Uchiha clan. So yeah, I hate him. Last I checked with Naruto, I was still supposed to care about him. And yes, I know that Sasuke is supposed to symbolize vengeance and the violence of the ninja order that Naruto has to change, but I don't want stories to keep hammering into my head that, after all that, I'm still supposed to not wish for the guy to die in a fire. Completely agree. What's worse is that WordOfGod says Sasuke, as Naruto's rival, is automatically getting an easy-handout powerup for every level in badass Naruto gets. It's been over three years and every time Naruto manages to meet up with him, Sasuke wants to kill him. I don't really see a "friendship" there worth saving.

Okay, a lot of you may hate me for this, but if it hasn't been said, I'm adding in Seto frigging Kaiba from YGO. If Yugi isn't the star of the plot, this guy is, and even when he is, Yugi's still the one stepping in to save his ass at the last minute. He's been saved HOW many times now, and he's STILL the biggest asshole this side of the series. There just comes a point when you should ask yourself if it's REALLY worth the trouble. After last...four or five times, with NOTHING to show for it, I'm gonna say "no".

I liked Kaiba better back when he was an ancient Egyptian (which only comes out towards the end) where he's a decently well-rounded protagonist and in Little Kuriboh's abridged series where everyone's a jackass that knows they're in a crappy cartoon.

Whilst I definitely agree, he's not as big an asshole in the japanese version of the anime, he still is one, but not as much. Plus he appears much less in the manga, after Battle City, he never appears again.

Apparently Seto became a bit of a "creator's pet" for the animators and got way more time to be awesome at the expense of the other characters (namely Joey). I heard he's ok in the sub (he's not so much of an stubborn idiot in denial) but far better in the manga.

From what I can gather, it appears at that scene, he lost most of his arrogance and is a much more approachable guy -- since he isn't glaring at Yugi. I guess he finally learned about respect.

gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Flay_AllsterI don't know if anybody's mentioned her yet, but holy god does she annoy me. She tags Kira along just so that he'll fight harder to protect the Archangel, as though he wasn't already trying his best, while totally bitching about how much she hates co-ordinators. (Hint, Flay, your fucking boy toy is one.) When Kira feels like shit after one battle, because he doesn't like killing people (subject for another rant entirely), she turns it on to herself, going on and on and on about how nobody ever pays any attention to her (as if they don't), how she deserves the sympathy more, how Kira is basically bitching about nothing (I can actually see a reason for Kira to be an emo. Even Miriallia had a reason to crack. But guess what? They both grew a pair, realised there was a war going on and dealt with it. They didn't make it their mission to make everyone else feel like crap), and then threw a fit when he dumped her. She got super jealous over him hanging out with his twin sister, she was fickle, and flighty, and selfish, and she never got any better. She was a pathetic excuse for a character and Gundam Seed would have been much better without her. /endrant Wow, that wasn't very eloquent, was it? I blame Flay. she just pushes my bottons. I hate her. She doesn't even exist, but she makes me so damn angry. (Probably cause I know people like her. Selfishness is not cool.)

Mamoru/Darien/Tuxedo Mask/Tuxedo Kamen/Endymion/whatever from Sailor Moon. Wow, he throws and rose and gives a speech. What a guy. How about you do something USEFUL for once? Like FIGHT? And dear freaking lord, HOW many times does this guy need to be brainwashed? Sure, he was more useful in the manga, and had some actual POWER, but in three of the five story arcs, he ended up brainwashed or controlled in some manner! And ultimately was all-around useless when it came time for the final fight. Either because he was, after all, BRAINWASHED, or because he was injured or doing something else.
And his hell-spawn. I despise her. Oh yes. I despise her greatly. Has all the character flaws of her mom PLUS some and an overall bitchy "better than you" attitude combined with the complete uselessness of her dad, all rolled up into one millstone. Don't know what they were thinking making her the central character of a season, but seriously, what good did she do? She rings a bell, summons a flying horse, and relies on mommy to beat the bad guy. That's it. Why? Why is that even necessary? But apparently, they can't beat the monster of the week unless she rings that stupid bell. She doesn't do ANYTHING else...just rings a bell. And that somehow makes her the most important person of the season. Are. You. KIDDING ME? Not to mention all the crap she gave the past self of her mom and her almost (if not outright) incestuous feelings towards her dad. I swear, with a brat like that, I'm surprised Usagi keeps saving her ass, much less continues to have ANY intention of having children at all.

Even the first time I watched the show I just hated her, she's such a raging bitch! I won't say that she doesn't have a reason to act irrational and all that, but you don't see any of the others acting the way she does (except maybe Patrick Zala and La Cruset, but they're both fucking insane anyway so it's kind of expected of them).

You summed it up perfectly. We are supposed to care about him and see that he is (somehow) benevolent. BULLSHIT! Destroying ALL of Konoha when really, the elders are responsible? Why not just kill them? Why the ENTIRE VILLAGE? For crying out loud, there are innocent people there who had nothing to do with anything! Women and children! Them, too?! Sasuke, what is WRONG with you?! He's going against everything Itachi stood for, and you'd think he wouldn't do that. But no. He has to kill kill kill kill kill. And then what happens if he succeeds? Kill EVERY single Ninja village in existence? And then what?! Seriously. Vengeance, revenge, and MURDER are what he's about. I don't even feel sorry for him anymore. And he's NOT the main character! I don't care about him anymore! Hell, I wanted to find out more of Naruto's back story in the past, but all we had was the same repetitive Sasuke backstory OVER and OVER and OVER again. We knew more about him than the main character. Wow. I thought the series was called Naruto? I really just have no sympathy nor respect for Sasuke anymore. I don't even know what to say.

^A clear example of Strawman Has a Point, except the strawman is...well...pretty much EVERYONE in the entire series except Naruto. Everyone understands that Sasuke is pretty much past any hope of redemption by this point. Even SAKURA knew it, and she still LOVES the bastard. And they ALL have some very real, very GOOD points in wanting to simply kill him or at least in trying to keep Naruto away from him. Even if Naruto DOES manage to drag his happy butt back, there won't be much of a point because everyone is going to hate him and want him dead--and unlike how it was with Naruto's ostracism as a kid, it WILL be over something Sasuke COULD have helped. Repeatedly. So WHY, exactly, are we supposed to cheer on Naruto's blatant attempts to completely ignore the reasonable and completely valid concerns of everyone who DOES care about him in favor of dragging back some asshole who has made it clear he DOESN'T?

^Because Sasuke is a creator's pet. I'd say more, but that statement is filled with enough damnation to sum the entire monstrosity that is Sasuke this aspiring writer can come up with.

I actually did want him, in the past, to come out of this with some kind of punishment, and then maybe try to redeem himself some way. Working hard to bring himself back onto a better track. But no. All I want is for him to get his ass kicked. BIG TIME. By Naruto. By EVERYONE. And I want him, as he's dying, for Itachi and the rest of the family to come by and say, while he's reaching the bright light, "What the HELL were you thinking?!". *Facepalms* But knowing him being a creator's pet, I'd say not. All we'll get is continuous "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME! YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND!" cards thrown at us.

About Sasuke: My biggest issue in Naruto is that constant need to "save" Sasuke and take care of him. Itachi failed miserably so what makes Naruto think he can succeed. Sasuke needs to do some serious soul searching and understand what he's doing to himself and the legacy his clan and his brother. I'd pay to see him do that and after being forced to see 200 chapters of him regressing and angsting, I'd say I'm nearly entitled to it. That would be character development and progression for Sasuke. However if Sasuke did that then Naruto wouldn't be the big hero so we really can't count on that happening. Naruto has to defeat him even though the victory is pointless if Sasuke doesn't want to see the other side of things. Sasuke doesn't have to die all nor does he have to go back to the Leaf Village. What the creator of this manga doesn't seem to see is that Sasuke has to save himself and open his own eyes as well as face the consequences of his own decisions. You can't be carted around and saved by everyone and everything. He's not a child anymore and he has to fight his own battles. If you haven't noticed, I'm a huge believer in redemption. Lastly, one of my most hated anime characters is Kagome Higurashi. She was a shit load of wasted potential not only that but she was annoying as hell and annoyingly dependent on Inuyasha.

I agree, I think we as fans are entitled. But I have a feeling we won't. We're just going to get more and more regressing and angsting and vengeance and continuous "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME!!!!" cards thrown. What an asshole. Anyway...KAGOME. DX I cannot stand her. You're right, she is annoying as hell and over-dependent. I know she's a little out of her environment, but isn't she supposed to grow to be adapting and used to it? Isn't she supposed to be "oh-so powerful"? She used to be understanding of Inuyasha and Kikyo, but by a few episodes later, she's already "D:< HOW DARE YOU LOVE KIKYO MORE THAN ME!!!!!! AM I NOTHING TO YOU?!!?!" and she keeps claiming that he is toying with her emotions. Don't even get me started on the "Sit" commands. It's not even funny anymore. It came to the point that she uses them for her own petty advantage. "D:< INUYASHA DIDN'T SAY HOW I PRETTY I WAS!! SIT BOY!!!" She really is wasted potential.

All I can say is, after the crap he's pulled, there had better be some damn good attempting on Sasuke's part to redeem himself if they want us to consider him even remotely salvageable as a character. And on this new note: Kagome. Yes, I hate her. Uselessness is her middle name. Seriously, WHY is she the one determining what the group does? When they search? When they break? And does she even TRY to learn how to control her miko powers? Or is she just "awesome" at it cuz they work whenever she wants them to? And I get that she wants a life in the future, but does she REALLY have to run home every time something doesn't go her way? Yes, I'm copying what another wrote, but dammit, it fits here! Also, what's with all the hatred towards Inuyasha over Kikyo? At least THEY had actually been in love. What's Kagome's excuse? It's not like she's outright turned down Hojo or Kouga? And it's annoying how it's made a joke of that she "sits" Inuyasha whenever Kouga shows up, even if he's the one starting the trash-talk. Yes, it's to avoid a fight, but the guy KIDNAPPED her, KILLED Rin, and almost killed Inuyasha over a misunderstanding, and she can't spare so much as an "I'm not interested"? But I think what really seemed the worst was that one movie. The rosary beads break, Inuyasha is free but DOESN'T run off or try to kill her or show he's untrustworthy or anything, and at the very end...she puts another set of beads on him! WHAT THE FUCK, you BITCH?! Seriously, WHY has he not completely ditched her yet?

I don't know if anybody's ever watched Saint Seiya, but the two characters who always bothered me were Seiya and Saori.
The woman was the reincarnation of the goddess Athena and she still had to be saved every friggen time. Seiya? Don't get me started.

Let me try to understand something since I've never watched Saint Seiya . . . The reincarnation of Athena needs to be saved multiple times by the hero . . . The reincarnation of the Greek goddess of WAR and WISDOM . . . has to be saved more than just the occasion when self-defense and smarts can't get her out of a pinch . . . WHY?

You're absolutely right. :3 While I do want Naruto to kick his ass and LEAVE HIM, not bringing him back, I do agree. He needs to open his own eyes and realize how much of a douchefuck he is. I agree, I think we as fans are entitled. But I have a feeling we won't. We're just going to get more and more regressing and angsting and vengeance and continuous "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME!!!!" cards thrown. What an asshole. Anyway...KAGOME. DX I cannot stand her. You're right, she is annoying as hell and over-dependent. I know she's a little out of her environment, but isn't she supposed to grow to be adapting and used to it? Isn't she supposed to be "oh-so powerful"? She used to be understanding of Inuyasha and Kikyo, but by a few episodes later, she's already "D:< HOW DARE YOU LOVE KIKYO MORE THAN ME!!!!!! AM I NOTHING TO YOU?!!?!" and she keeps claiming that he is toying with her emotions. Don't even get me started on the "Sit" commands. It's not even funny anymore. It came to the point that she uses them for her own petty advantage. "D:< INUYASHA DIDN'T SAY HOW I PRETTY I WAS!! SIT BOY!!!" She really is wasted potential. All I can say is, after the crap he's pulled, there had better be some damn good attempting on Sasuke's part to redeem himself if they want us to consider him even remotely salvageable as a character. And on this new note: Kagome. Yes, I hate her. Uselessness is her middle name. Seriously, WHY is she the one determining what the group does? When they search? When they break? And does she even TRY to learn how to control her miko powers? Or is she just "awesome" at it cuz they work whenever she wants them to? And I get that she wants a life in the future, but does she REALLY have to run home every time something doesn't go her way? Yes, I'm copying what another wrote, but dammit, it fits here! Also, what's with all the hatred towards Inuyasha over Kikyo? At least THEY had actually been in love. What's Kagome's excuse? It's not like she's outright turned down Hojo or Kouga? And it's annoying how it's made a joke of that she "sits" Inuyasha whenever Kouga shows up, even if he's the one starting the trash-talk. Yes, it's to avoid a fight, but the guy KIDNAPPED her, KILLED Rin, and almost killed Inuyasha over a misunderstanding, and she can't spare so much as an "I'm not interested"? But I think what really seemed the worst was that one movie.

WHAT THE FUCK, you BITCH?! Seriously, WHY has he not completely ditched her yet? PBBBTTTTTTTTT!!!!! *Rolls over laughing* That example of the characters you had there was HILARIOUS! Thank you. ^w^ Not to mention pretty much summing it all up! Oh yes, God forbid Inuyasha is ALWAYS the bad guy when poor wittle Kagome is saaad and leaves! Seriously, that's just the same as any romantic comedy that ALWAYS has the guy being the blame for the girl getting angry and/or sad. I heard about that in the...third movie, I think? OH MY GOD! When I heard that, I wanted to hit her. Seriously, that too! Kagome has Koga and Hojo after her! WHY doesn't she say "Sorry, I'm not interested!", she is practically PLAYING them! And with Hojo, I'm sorry, I don't care if Inuyasha is someone from the past, but she could simply say "I have a boyfriend" and leave it at that. And let's not forget her treatment of Shippo. If Inuyasha so much as makes Shippo cry (What a baby!), even when he's IN THE RIGHT, Shippo whines and cries and then Kagome is all "SIT BOY! HOW DARE YOU PICK ON MY BABY! D8<" I mean, what the hell. Shippo agonizes him ALL THE TIME. He has it coming! =_= Then Kagome just goes home whenever she's all sulky. Miroku and Sango side with her every time, so does Shippo. Gurgh. If not for her ability to see the jewel shards...BUH-BYE, BIOTCH! Wait...I have another one. Kagome: You always toy with my emotions! Inuyasha: Well excuse me, I'm not exactly at the best state of mind! We have all this crap going on with Naraku, I'm not quite over Kikyo nor did we have any kind of proper closure, my brother is an ass, and we keep dealing with new opponents trying to stop us! So forgive me if I'm not exactly ready to be your boyfriend! Kagome: How DARE you mention Kikyo!! What about ME?! After everything I did for you?! Inuyasha: Oh yes, you broke the jewel, get yourself kidnapped at least once an episode, use the sit command on me for no good reason, go home whenever you damn well feel like it and waste our time, and also toying with two other guys when you could just say you're not interested! Yeah, you did SO much for me! Kagome: How can you say that to me?! Sango: Yeah, how dare you! Kagome deserves better than a jerk like you! Miroku: I couldn't agree more. Shippo: You're a meanie, Inuyasha! Inuyasha: Shut up, fox! Shippo: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! KAGOME!!!! HE YELLED AT ME!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! Inuyasha: You're trying to be a man, and all you do is whine for mommy! Yeah, a real man! Kagome: SIT YOU ASSHOLE!!! *Everyone walks away* Inuyasha: That's it, I'm going after Naraku myself.

^He totally should. I mean, hell, it's not like anyone else does anything USEFUL.
Inuyasha: (Fighting a demon) Guys? A little help here?
Kagome: INUYASHA!
Sango: Hiraikotsu! Oops, it didn't work. Guess I'll do nothing the rest of the fight.
Kagome: INUYASHAAAAAA!
Miroku: I'd like to help, but you know, poisonous insects and all. Can't risk using the wind tunnel, and heaven knows I apparently have no other abilities as a MONK and all.
Kagome: INUYAAAAAAAASHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Shippou: I'm just gonna sit here, absolutely useless and totally dependent on you, but that's not going to stop me from looking down on you and being a little brat to you once we're safe.
Inuyasha: Hate you all...
Kagome: EEEEENUUUUUYAAAAASHAAAAaaaaAAAAAA!!!!11!!1!!one!
Inuyasha: WHAT? WHAT is IT?
Kagome: I r kidnapped again. lol
Inuyasha: GOD-DAMMIT! (Is injured trying to save her)
Kagome: Sorry I got you injured again! lol
Miroku: Eh, he's half-demon. He can take it.
Kagome: I got bandages! Now let's get you shirtless! ^__________^
Shippou: (Poking Inuyasha) Stop poking yourself! Stop poking yourself!
Sango: You're lucky she takes the time to heal you after all you do to her.
Inuyasha: ...Hate...you...all...
Okay, I know he's got his share of character flaws, but dammit, when he's the one saving their butts all the time, how is it that he also gets the worst of the treatment? And no, I DON'T count Kagome simply "being herself" and somehow magically changing people or fixing things as "saving the day". How do the battles usually go? Kagome sees jewel shard, MAYBE shoots ONE arrow, and does nothing else--unless she's getting herself kidnapped. AGAIN. Miroku attempts the wind tunnel, sees poison bugs, stops and does nothing else. Sango throws her boomerang once and then does--big surprise!--nothing else. Shippou...well, never does anything. So why can't the guy who is the hard-hitter and usually the main person DOING the fighting getting some damned respect?

^ You're right! Yes, Inuyasha has his own flaws and isn't ALWAYS right, but really though, the shit he puts up with! I feel bad for him half the time! Hell, in one episode, he literally says that he saves thousands of lives (And it's true!), and he gets no respect or credit. Ouch! Even he knows it! Oh, and moments after he says that, both Kagome and Shippo are on his back, ordering him to go. And that was hilarious yet again! Not to mention completely true! That's pretty much what happens in every battle scene! Oh, Shippo DOES help...or rather, fails. Tossing toys, multiplying himself...But fails. Fails! Poor Inuyasha gets no respect! Kagome, you SUCK. Okay, here's another one! Kagome: I am back from the future after being gone for three days!! Inuyasha: Naraku spread his terror even further! Did you have one of those "test" things? Kagome: No.... Inuyasha: Studying? Kagome: No!!! D8< Inuyasha: Fine! Whatever! Kagome: It's none of your business!!! D8< I can go home and stay there as long as I want! It's my right! Inuyasha: It's a privilege, not a right! Kagome: SIT!!!!!! HOW DARE YOU TALK BACK TO ME!!!! Sango: Kagome, I'm glad you're here! Shippo: Inuyasha was meaaaaannn!! Miroku: Welcome back, I will now proceed to grope Sango. Inuyasha: Now that we're all here, let's go! We have things to do! Kagome: I don't wanna! D: I wanna stay here!!! I have to waste my time reading and doing homework! Inuyasha: You can do it later! Kagome: But I have a test on Friday!!! D: I need to study! Inuyasha: If we don't kill Naraku, there won't BE a future for you to go home to! Kagome: I SAID SIT!!!!! We are staying here for the next day or two so I can study and relax!!! We are not going anywhere! Koga: Hi! Inuyasha: Why are you here? Koga: Um, I'm here to pointlessly try to win Kagome over and make you all jealous. Inuyasha: Are you kidding, you can have her! I'm outta here! Kagome: WAIT! WHAT ABOUT ME?!?! D: Inuyasha: I'm going after Naraku myself! And I have senses, I can find the jewel myself! *Leaves* And Naraku was killed, cutting down on several episodes.

Thank you, guys! x3 I got a million of 'em! Because Kagome sucks...here's some more fun. Eri, Ayumi and Yuka: OMG!!!! Kagome! Kagome: Yeah, I had cancer, but now it's all cured! Eri: Wait a second...you've had all these diseases...West Nile Virus, AIDS, cancer, Malaria, physical injuries... Yuka: And yet you show up perfectly fine and showing no signs of recovery! Not even post-traumatic stress! Kagome: I just...have great doctors and heal so perfectly! Ayumi: You're hiding something from us. And we were too boneheaded to see that. Are you ditching school? Kagome: D: No! Never! Eri: Hey, I read ahead in the script, it said that you miss too much school and can't go to University and so instead you get married. Kagome: OwO Inuyasha and I get married!!!! <3 Yuka: Who? O.o Kagome: Erm! ....Nobody. >.> Ayumi: Stop lying to us, Kagome! You are not a good friend! You disappear to who-knows-where for whatever reason, and then you have the gull to lie to us after all we've done for you! We have helped you study, get on dates with Hojo, bring you your homework when you're sick! Eri: And this is how you thank us?! We're your friends! Tell us what's going on! Kagome: I can't! You won't understand! Yuka: Try us! Hojo: Hi! Kagome, go on a date with me! And here, something to cure your sickness!! Kagome: OwO Sure, Hojo! I mean...um...sure....>////w////> Yuka: By the way, she has a boyfriend! Hojo: O.O What? Eri: Oh yes, she's had one for months now! Yuka: Wait, so she didn't tell you? Hojo: O.O No, she didn't.... I know sometimes she acted weird when we were together, but I had no idea. Kagome: N-No I don't! The guy I'm always with is such a jerk and is always toying with my emotions and won't commit to me! He has to! To me and only me! Hojo: Well, I can't believe you never told me. I thought you were better than that, Kagome. Kagome: I didn't want to hurt your feelings! D: Hojo: Kagome, I have a spine. I'm also in middle school, I'll find someone else. It's not as if I have a sick obsession with you. If you had told me no, I would have understood and respected your wishes. Kagome: But, I...it's complicated. Hojo: I'm leaving. Eri, Yuka and Ayumi: So are we!!! Kagome: D: But...what about me? I...get...nothing. :< Inuyasha: KAGOME! Get back to the past! We have things to do! Kagome: NO! I HAVE BOY TROUBLE AND FRIEND TROUBLE! D8< Inuyasha: Really? So thousands of people die, many places get overrun with evil and demons, Naraku is trying to take over the world...and yet YOU have stupid trivial troubles? Not a good excuse! Kagome: SIT!!! D8< YOU ARE A BAD PERSON! AUDIENCE, MIROKU, SANGO, SHIPPO, FEEL SORRY FOR ME!!! Inuyasaha: I don't know why I bother. DX
