Characters you actually like/love that almost everyone hates

[Gomamon]

I have never heard about her being unpopular. Unless we are talking about some broken MUGEN versions but then again there are quite many (broken or not), for example Drowin gave her Arcana Heart gameplay.

Hmm, as far as i know, in Melty Blood games, she actually has some fans and some people love playing her.

But from my experience, in Tsukihime fandom, Ciel herself and her route don't get a lot of love. To be honest, despite what everyone says, i always thought Ciel was a really cool character and also funny too.

(SPOILERS: If you hate spoilers, don't read)
Sorry if you dislike spoilers or didn't play Tsukihime, but Ciel is one of characters in Tsukihime i know (together with Arihiko and Hisui but i don't want to make this post too long) that doesn't cannonically die, except in bad endings which as far as i know are non canon. (in bad endings, Shiki most of times dies so, i didn't count him because Arihiko and Hisui are the only characters i know that never die, not even in bad endings, though i didn't get all of them, because i prefer the real endings)

Sorry for a confusing post.

I see, it may make sense. But are in visual novels really divisions between canonic and non-canonic stories depending on the character? If it is different than for the main character or the main character and few deutragonists and the rest automatically non-canon, then it sounds unnecessarily confusing.

Hmm, as far as i know, it is, i am not too familiar with visual novels, sorry if my answer might be unsatisfying.

Nah, that is no problem at all.

Mabye Vergil from UMvC3 since I liked him but he was kinda broken

[MoonShine]

I'm not to sure who everyone hates. I know I don't like 1hk chars or janky looking 3D ones

[BrooklynMaximus]

people give pietro the title of "one of the worst animal crossing villagers" but personally? i think he's great

[Hanbei]

Katz from Mobile Suit Z Gundam.
Most people who watch the show complain about him being immature and illogical, but that's the whole point of his character. I think a pitfall people often fall into is only thinking of characters in terms of whether they'd like them in real life or not, when oftentimes a character who would be a thoroughly unpleasant person to interact with IRL serves a very important purpose to the narrative and its themes.

Yuya Fungami from Jojo. I love his stand especially highway star. I hate the jus character of him tho, cheap and always screams when getting damage

[Devplays10]

I know no one is going to like this answer but mineta from my hero because Ya he's a creep but he's really funny to me but I can see why people hate him

[masterofmemes]

I get the vibe that a lot of people don't really care for Rufus from Street Fighter 4. However I personally think he's kind of funny. To me it feels like Akuma is the big serious rival to Ryu. But the idea of Ken getting a goofy stupid rival? I don't know I feel like there's a lot of potential there.

[Entro]

Alright, I haven't watched any anime (save for pokemon which I've been told doesn't count) but I do plan on watching DragonBallZ for Mr. Satan and Mr. Satan only. I don't know if he's hated or not, I haven't participated in any medium relating to the community so I wouldn't know, but I was shown a clip of him acting like a passionate idiot and I instantly went and read an entire fandom page on him. Why? Dunno, funny guy.

[Legendas]

Alright, so mha fangirls will hate Mineta for literally existing cuz he is ugly.
Him and Iida might be my favorite mha characters in general.
Keyaru from Redo of Healer.
people say he is a piece of shit, but he is simply enacting vengeance on those that wronged him.
Kon from Bleach (bro is so nice he wouldn't step on an ant, literally, yet they made him into a joke.)

[GunMetalXIV]

Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII.

People call her rude, mean, and unlikeable, but I never felt that way about her. Sure she's cold and angry, but you would be too if your sibling who you cared about so much got turned into a crystal and you got turned into a tool that will be discarded no matter what you do.

I feel like a lot of commonly divisive Final Fantasy/Square Enix characters like Squall, Lightning, and Sion from The Bouncer get too much hate from people who were never even invested in the games in the first place. Put yourself in their shoes and consider their backstories and experiences, and suddenly they become a whole lot more understandable with how they act.

This is a really tough question for me, because I can't remember a character that I like but almost everyone hates.
The only one that comes to my mind is Krillin, specifically from DBZ.
It is not the character per se, 'cause as far as I'm aware, he's not hated. It's a situation that hapenned during the Cell/Androids saga, where, speaking superficially, he had the opportunity to kill Android 18, but he didn't. I've seen a lot of people complaining about his decision, blaming him for what happened after and straight up hating this scene. I personally really like that scene because how deep and meaninful it is to his character, because it reinforces the idea that he don't kill innocent people, even it is for greater good. He prioritizes his own philosophy so much that is almost selfish.
Idk. I really like that scene, despite being so hated.

[MaoujiRenkin]

For me, Tsubaki Yayoi/Izayoi from BlazBlue. I find the hate towards her to be extremely overblown out of proportion in all honesty.

[evelin]

well, most of my favorite characters are not in the list of hate but...i just met this character named Slayer from Guilty Gear and after playing him for awhile he does do a lot of damage plus i really like the way he plays and besides being a very good looking guy.
