Useless Anime Heros/Heroines

What hero or heroine do you consider completely useless? I have three.

Akira from Devilman Crybaby. After being possessed by demonic powers, Akira is transformed into Devilman. He uses his power to fight the demons who are bent on destroying humanity. But when it comes to the final battle against the series’ villain, Akira is a fail – big time. Thanks for nothing, Akira.

Ayano from Stigma of the Wind. Ayano is from a family of fire-users who use their powers to protect the innocent and fight evil. In a battle for the right to be the heir to the position of head of the family, Ayano defeats her older male cousin, Kazuma. Kazuma is immediately exiled. Years later, Kazuma returns as a wind-user. Supposedly inferior to fire-users, Kazuma easily defeats family members who attack him. As over the years, Kazuma has become a mighty warrior, you would think that the now teenaged Ayano would have developed into a super-mighty warrior. Well, you don’t know Ayano. She has grown into a beautiful, fearless, powerful – klutz. Yes, Ayano is a klutz who somehow manages not to kill herself getting out of bed in the morning. No wonder her father wants to hire Kazuma as her bodyguard – in the hopes that the cousins mate. Kazuma turns out to be a late bloomer, while future head-of-the-family Ayano seems to have gotten the family’s genetic dregs.

Tatsuki from Bleach. I actually like Tatsuki. She’s brave. She’s strong. She cares deeply about others. She practically disappears half way through season one. And despite an occasional appearance, she gets left out of practically everything. Initially Tatsuki was Orhime’s protector. But it is Orihime who becomes part of the fight against Hollows and other evils. Tatsuki? She needs a new agent.

Your turn. Don't just list. Explain why they are useless.

...Well, they can't all be winners...


Minetta from My Hero Academia. The only time he's been useful so far (Haven't started the new season) was when the villians attacked the USJ, and when he threw his balls at them, they didn't know what they were (they just stick - that's it) but the threat of them possibly being bombs or something made them run away. Other than that, useless.

In the new season, Minetta learns that making his balls different colors gives them power. The blue ones hurt the most. :laugh:

OK. Just kidding.

Minetta does have his moments, but they are few and far between. Certainly he's the last of the academia heroes-in-training that I would call when my back is against the wall.

Kin gfrom One Punch man

^ Correct the typo, please.

Actually, several of the heroes in One Punch Man are pretty useless.

....I'm still upset about this, yet the jerk in me wants to make a horrible joke....


My Hero Academia spoiler, and a mean comment! :

 

Welp... Guess Miro is a useless hero now.... OH so is all might...

I've been watching Aria. I nominate the entire cast as useless.

Well, maybe not the cats.

Getting back to useless heroes, just how useless is Ayano from Stigma of the Wind? From about 1:35 on:

Taking her little cousin hostage is really an embarrassment.

Two more names to add, and both are from Dr. Stone. Taiju and Yuzuriha seem to have dropped out of sight after season one.

All together now, "Who?"

Akira's big fail from Devilman Crybaby (BIG SPOILER):

Way to save the world, Akira. Thanks for nothing.

Watching the latest episode of Demon Slayer on Adult Swim/Toonami, the question came to me, "Isn't Nezuko sort of useless?" After all, she rarely comes out of her box. We haven't seen her for the past several episodes.

Speaking of MHA...........

Yuga Aoyama.............

I bet Sgt. Frog would be great if you watched it stoned.

^ Sato is pretty useless, but is he a hero? The main character, yes. But certainly no hero.

I have a new entry for a useless hero. Well, she's actually the sidekick to the series hero, but when it comes down to the fight, she's pretty useless.

Zero from Magmel of the Sea Blue is a Lachter, just like Inyo. Actually she may be more powerful than Inyo. Only in the last three episodes, Zero is kidnapped by an old enemy who uses her as bait for Inyo. Zero ends up spending the last three episodes mostly crying while Inyo is getting the snot kicked out of him. She does get involved at the end, when Inyo calls out to her and inspires her to act. But up to that time, totally useless.

Zero doing what she does best.
