Reader’s Question:
Which anime, manga, or tokusatsu characters do you think would not feel any pain or remorse, no matter how cruelly they are treated?
Characters Who Feel No Pain or Remorse
Hey there! I was browsing through some anime and manga discussions recently, and a question caught my eye: which characters
would remain unfazed by cruelty, no matter how they’re treated? It got me thinking about some of my favorite characters and their quirks. I mean, can you imagine being so tough that nothing really gets to you? One character that popped into my mind was 伊藤誠 (Itou Makoto) from “School Days.” He’s notorious for his reckless decisions and emotional detachment. You could throw a whole storm of drama at him, and he’d just shrug it off like it’s nothing. It’s almost comical to think about how he moves through the chaos without a care in the world. Then there’s the fierce ヨル・フォージャー (Yoru Forger) from “SPY×FAMILY.” She’s a trained assassin with a heart of gold, or at least that’s what she tries to show. But when it comes to her mission, she can be cold as ice, showing no remorse even in the face of danger. It’s like watching a superhero who’s also a villain, and that duality makes her fascinating. Now, let’s talk about the classic villain, 鬼舞辻無惨 (Muzan Kibutsuji) from “Demon Slayer.” His character is literally built on pain and cruelty, and he revels in it. It’s almost like he’s immune to any emotional backlash from his actions. I have to admit, his chilling demeanor makes for some of the most intense moments in the series. And who can forget about the infamous ジャイアン (Gian) from “Doraemon”? He’s the quintessential bully, but there’s a strange charm about him. Sure, he can be a bit of a jerk, but when push comes to shove, he has a heroic side that surprises everyone. It’s like he’s been brainwashed into thinking he’s the tough guy, but deep down, he has a soft spot. One thing that really struck me was the comment on シロ (Shiro) from “Assassination Classroom.” He’s portrayed as a character who doesn’t really feel remorse, which is interesting because he often finds himself in situations that could lead to character growth. It’s like he’s caught in a loop of chaos, and part of you wonders if he’ll ever break free from it. Now, I can’t help but relate to these characters in some way. There have been times in my life when I’ve had to put on a brave face, whether it was dealing with my kid’s tantrums or just facing everyday challenges. I sometimes joke that I’ve developed a “superpower” to handle the chaos—although it usually involves too many snacks and arriving way too early to things, just to ensure I’m prepared! What about you? Do you have any characters that come to mind who seem completely unfazed by their surroundings? I’d love to hear your thoughts or any memorable moments you’ve had with these characters. Drop your experiences in the comments!
