Anime always has a protagonist, but they don't always win the audience's hearts. In fact, there are several episodes in which the protagonist goes completely unnoticed and even gains weight, making the supporting characters, co-stars, and even the villains shine even more. Remember Death Note? Here we give you a list of characters more interesting than the protagonists themselves.

Of course it depends a lot on the public's reception, but it's interesting when other characters completely steal the audience's heart before the protagonist himself, especially in shojo or shonen. Here's a list so you can either agree or disagree with me. Remember, we've tried to update the content a bit, so you won't find any outdated '90s protagonists you hated. Without further ado, here's the selection.

Levi Ackerman from Attack on Titan

Levi Ackerman is one of the most beloved characters of all time, mainly due to his abilities. The captain is a star player and has proven himself to be a seasoned defender of humanity from the start.

He's not only a captain who knows how to do his job on the battlefield, but he also makes the right decisions even when his heart tells him otherwise – oh yes, our dear Erwin.

In addition to his strengths, Levi has a seductive touch and his obsession with cleanliness will make us think of his humanity and sensitivity, even though we see him with only one expression all the time.

Levi is one of the most beloved characters in anime, not only in Attack on TitanAnd he's won the affection of his fans. There's even a recent one-shot by Hajime Isayama! In the art book, the Bad Boy section introduces us to Levi's past.

Gojo Satoru from Jujutsu Kaisen

Gojo Satoru may be many things, but he also He is one of the dearest husbands, not the kindest guy, but one of the most powerful.

In fact, after the last events of the manga Jujutsu Kaisen, I have no hesitation in saying that fans would have preferred to sacrifice Itadori for the sake of Gojo himself, which reflects his great charisma and the appreciation that the anime audience has for him.

L for Death Note

Well, that's it. To begin with, Yagami Light was a small symbol and he lost his mind with all his ego. And although he was more of a villain protagonist, he still had the main focus which was completely taken away by the sweets lover who looked like a hikkikomori but very detail-oriented, right?

L had a mysterious appearance and a much more interesting personality than Light.when the protagonist went mad, our dear L had a motionless face, his loss was also one of the deepest and most insurmountable.

Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto

We knew Sasuke since childhood and although he was an orphan like Naruto he didn't play around all the time, In fact, he was trying to grow in leaps and bounds. Gradually, he became more human and connected with his teammates while honing his skills with dedication. He came from a good family and everything was cool.

Furthermore, he was the dark-haired villain who was quite attractive due to his elaborate manner of being, speaking, and presenting himself. Being the protagonist's best friend, he also generated a distinct effect; even after he crossed over, the audience more or less understood him.

Sasuke Uchiha used to shine brighter than the blond hair, blue eyes and screaming voice of the ninja protagonist of one of Shuēisha's most famous animes.

Zoro from One Piece

Zoro is the swordsman of One piece And indeed, his story is full of tragic moments and actions. The young man is his captain's best friend and has a very different attitude from Luffy, who maintains a very gentle aura.

Zoro, due to his skill and personality, is one of the most beloved pirates of the crew and in pirate anime.

Kaiju Hoshina #8

Hoshina arrived with her fox eyes and seemed to be more intense about the rules than he was. At first he recruited Kafka after seeing his great effort, after that he also allowed him some comforts so that he could advance in his own way in terms of information and he even told him that he trusted his 1%, a great guy, Second Captain Hoshina!

However, he won everyone's hearts by fighting hand-to-hand, with his katanas and with impressive mastery, but it wasn't limited to that, the captain really cares about the lives of his subordinates.

Hoshina is demanding and very human; everyone adores him, and he's definitely cooler than Kafka. He's one of the anime's most interesting supporting characters.

Draken from Tokyo Revengers

Takemichi is a man who travels through time and space trying to save his former partner. Along the way, he meets several gang members and tries to manage his own relationships, as every decision could put his friends' lives at risk.

Despite all the regret that falls on Takemichi, well, the boy has nothing interesting, especially if we put him next to Draken, Mickey's best friend, the leader of the gang.

Draken is very strong and quite loyal to Mickey, but he also has a noble soul and is kind—he's quite an adorable boy! Plus, what a look, don't you think? He's the star of the anime even though he's a supporting character.

Sinbad of the Magicians

Sinbad appeared to be a supporting character in Magi: The Laberynth of Magic and The Kingdom of Magic. He is the king of the seven seas and is often quite flirtatious, kind, and powerful, making him one of the most interesting characters in anime.

In fact, character development is crucial, and although we initially love him, the twists and turns in the narrative will only impress us even more, and in fact, perhaps by the end of the manga, a different admiration will blossom for the hero, who has seven djin containers.

You'll have to read to find out.

Sebastian from Black Butler

Black Butler It's one of the most seductive anime, the Victorian vibe and mystery usually captivate the audience, but not as much as the existence of Sebastian himself who, in theory, follows the orders of Ciel Phantomhive, his master.

Sure, the demonic butler is an essential character, but not as essential as Ciel himself. After all, he's at the child's service, and everything is tailored to his needs. Despite this, few would last two seconds on screen if the "he can do anything" character didn't appear: Sebastián.

Rin Tohsaka from Fate Stay Unlimited BladeWorks

Shirou is the character who stars in the saga of Fate stays at night, next to Saber, his servant. Howeverthe powerful wizard who comes from an elegant and ancient lineage is Tohsaka, whose servant archer is a faithful and powerful warrior.

However, Rin doesn't depend on anyone to fight, She's intelligent and skilled in the magical field, and her emotional strength is also interesting. We all love Rin, especially when he contrasts so sharply with Shirou, who at the beginning of the story is straightforward and understandable, but still moves very slowly through the world.

What do you think? Aren't you interested in the selection? Tell me why. It's worth remembering that the summer anime season has already started, so let's see which other supporting characters outshine the main characters.
