Jerkass/Anime: Difference between revisions

Line 13:

** In the spin-off, you have Yume from the manga and Ramia and Konoha from ''Pretty Sammy''.

* ''[[Bleach]]'': Mayuri Kurotsuchi and Gin Ichimaru.

* The title character of ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' appears at first to be a [[Jerkass]] more than a [[Genki Girl]], more or less hitting [~~http://en.~~wikipedia~~.org/wiki/Antisocial_personality_disorder~~#~~Diagnostic_criteria~~ every point on the list of diagnostic criteria for antisocial personality disorder]. {{spoiler|And the fact that she is capable of destroying the world if she's seriously naysayed -- or bored -- (though in her defense, she does ''not'' know she's got said powers... and it's MUCH better to keep her [[Locked Out of the Loop]]) just puts icing on the cake}}. It's played down as the series progresses, though thanks to the episode shuffling it gets sort of unclear just how much.

It's played down as the series progresses, though thanks to the episode shuffling it gets sort of unclear just how much.

* Tomo from ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'', though the characters tend to treat her appropriately. Yomi occasionally hits her, but probably not as often as she deserves. Although there are quite a few examples that show Tomo DOES care.

** Also Yukari. You can just ''tell'' she's got no other friends apart from Nyamo. But then, strangely, neither does Nyamo. This may be justified, though, because they work at a [[Two-Teacher School|Three ...ish Teacher School]], and the third teacher, Kimura, is a [[Dirty Old Man]]. <small>And then there's [[Stern Teacher|that one]] no one remembers who made Chiyo freak out.</small>

Line 121:

* In ''[[Happy Yarou Wedding (Manga)|Happy Yarou Wedding]]'', Kazuki is none too nice to his brother-in-law Yuuhi, especially over his sexuality. On the flip side he's a good uncle to Shouta which is why Yuuhi tolerates him at all.

* ''[[Skip Beat (Manga)|Skip Beat]]'''s Fuwa Sho is [[Alternate Character Interpretation|a different person depending on how you view him.]] A jackass of the first degree beyond all narrative redemption? A sixteen/seventeen year old boy who's had a little too much positive attention for his own good? Somewhere in between? No matter what way you pick, you can't deny some of his unsavory [[Pride|characteristics]] and [[Forced Kiss|actions]]

* Asuka Langley Soryu of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' is practically the epitome of a jerkass who regularly announces that she hates everyone and everything at times of emotional intensity (which is mostly when she fails due to her own fault and tries to blame it on something else). She is not even trying to be playful or joking when she says she hates people; she almost always ''means'' it, especially in the case of Shinji or Rei for merely not being nice to her, despite the fact that they did absolutely nothing to deserve it; in other words, she hates them just for ''being'' there. There is a good reason for this, though: [[Freudian Excuse|like all the main characters, she has an extremely traumatic past, which has instilled her with a severe inferiority complex]], for which she compensates by aggressively attempting to keep the people around her from getting too close to her, as she does not want anyone controlling or [[Don't You Dare Pity Me|pitying]] her.

* In ''[[Saint Beast]]'', Kira is one, in part thanks to [[Loners Are Freaks]]. His main issue is his aloofness and that he enjoys [[The Bully|getting a rise]] out of angels like [[The Chick|Rey]].

* Hatori from [[Sekaiichi Hatsukoi]] mainly due to his [[Yandere]] tendencies that seems to extend not just to his rival [[Jerkass Facade|Yanase]] but also to [[Adult Child|Chiaki]] (his boyfriend mind you) and to a certain extent [[Naive Newcomer|Ritsu]] ([[Stepford Smiler|Kisa]] and [[Cute and Psycho|Mino]] like to pick on Ritsu too but given his [[Yandere]] tendencies, it's probably intentional unlike Kisa who admits to like teasing Ritsu since he's the newbie. Some of his actions include {{spoiler|brutally raping Chiaki}}, constantly harassing Yanase for being near Chiaki and {{spoiler|almost beating the shit out of him in his own house after Yanase [[Break the Cutie|breaks down]] from being rejected by Chiaki a second time.}}
