Top 22 Ugliest Anime Characters Of All Time

On the topic of the Ugliest Pokemon in the Franchise (but we love them!) here are the Ugliest Anime characters we know and love, after all, there's so much more to a character than their looks! Although sometimes it is integral to their role and personality, and for some, seeing them in an unattractive way only makes them all the more endearing to us and makes us love them more! Since maybe this isn’t really something you might think about (or see often in the community), let’s take a look at who the ugliest characters are in all of anime. 

 22. Kouji Kouda from My Hero Academia anime - a rock/tree looking fellow that kind of also looks like Groot, that also gets in to U.A alongside main character Tokoyami. Quirks can often change your appearance, like Tokoyami’s, but it usually compliments your power in some way. Perhaps he may appear a little like a tree to help him be able to talk to animals and bond with them. We know he is a friendly character and loves bunnies, he definitely won't have any trouble in the dating world! Plus a large forehead is said to be an attractive and masculine trait, even if it does look a little like a rock.

 21. Gordon Agrippa from Black Clover anime - a likable and sympathetic character, his look comes off as a little scary, a bit like Snubball in Ugliest Pokemon in the Franchise, a character that has a heart of gold but looks too scary and fierce that it finds it difficult to make friends! Gordon carries some Marilyn Manson vibes and is a mysterious spooky looking quietspoken character, only speaking through mumbled sounds, and curses. His look definitely comes off as bizarre and a little terrifying.

 20. Biwamaru from Dororo anime - an old and scary looking character, who is blind but still packs a hefty kick in him. He is a travelling lute priest, walks hunched over and appears very old and shrivelled with sunken features. Nobody would ever dare tell him these things though, as this character still has more than enough bite in him to break a few dozen bones. 

 19. Puri Puri Prisoner from One Punch Man anime - there's something about this character's eyes that make it look creepy! He also has huge lips and teeth, no eyebrows and wears a lot of mascara. He also possesses immense strength and is decked out in rippling muscles, he is a generally said to be a nice and down to earth guy, despite being previously jailed for stalking!

 18. Babidi from Dragon Ball Z Anime - an evil alien wizard and the son of Bibidi! Dragon Ball Z can certainly be ruthless in how it depicts the villains. Babidi appears like a wizened old fruit, that has been sitting around a while and is now very rotten. He looks like a combination of a rotting fruit, a catfish, and a fly. He is short in stature, wrinkled, scrawny, and orange. He has bulging eyes like his father Bibidi, who appears a lot like a frog in appearance.

 17. Bonolenov Ndongo from Hunter x Hunter anime - a mummy-like character, wrapped in bandages from head to toe. He is member #10 of the Phantom Troupe, an infamous gang of thieves with class A bounties. His physical strength ranks eighth in the group. But the second he takes off those bandages, we see a few things; he’s completely hairless, a lot of his teeth are missing, he’s skin and bones, and huge chunks of his body are missing. There’s also something very terrifying about his eyes. 

 16. Hand Demon from Demon Slayer anime - a large, veiny, hulking monster with olive green skin, blood red fingernails, and yellow eyes with cross-hatch shaped pupils. He appears to look a little like Golem from Lord of The Rings, until we see his gigantic limbs, arms and hands wrapping around his body. Although most of the demons in Demon Slayer are said to be lowkey extremely hot, in comparison, the Hand Demon is a very scary and nightmarish figure. 

 15. Ekaterina and Elizabeth from Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic anime - two scary looking characters that are both bulky in stature, with huge bulging chins, cat-like eyes and crooked bizarre noses. They dress scantily and are muscular in shape. They appear very masculine in appearance, with very large female assets. It's hard to divulge what exactly they are - or if they are even human!

 14. Teruki Hanazawa from Mob Psycho 100 anime - This guy is on the list strictly for having the longest and most tragic bad hair day ever. At first he just got a buzzcut on top. No problem, our modern status symbol Danny Devito rocks that hairstyle. But then his hair started going down a weird path where it just kept getting taller, and my boy ended up looking like the English Imperial guard off duty. It just made him look errr very strange and I think the bold cut suited him better. 

 13. Rock Lee from Naruto anime - the king of bowl cuts! Possessing an intense stare and feminine face with super thick eyebrows, his hairstyle is his most iconic and famous feature. Even though it is not flattering, it is very shiny, however! He also partially resembles a Stranger Things kid. He wears a green jumpsuit and orange leg warmers.

 12. Carnage Kabuto from One Punch Man Anime - Kabuto kind of looks like a giant cockroach that somehow got injected with steroids. He does get some cool points once he transforms into his carnage mode. But if we’re looking at just his base form, he is definitely among the uglier characters. Maybe somewhere on the level of that crab dude from episode 1. 

 11. Entoma Vasilissa Zeta from Overlord - her face transforms in to something truly unexpected in battle! Entoma looks adorable when we meet her, but she is hiding a secret, her face isn't really - her face. When we finally see her in combat, we learn that she secretly has a different form, one of bugs, fangs and multiple spider-like eyes. It will definitely give her an advantage in battle, that no one was expecting! Such super gross shock factor that is the stuff of nightmares, but we kind of love her even more for it! 

 10. Tomoko Kuroki from WataMote - for some reason, that doesn't quite match what happens in real life, anime ignores the mishaps of puberty and makes every high schooler a model with the perfect body and facial features. But Tomoki is different! She is much more relatable as she often forgets to take care of herself (realistic when there is so much schoolwork!), is unsure how to dress and sometimes forgets to sleep, so that bags form under her eyes. All of this leads her to looking quite poor, which is ironically only made worse whenever she tries to look pretty. Don’t worry, we’ve all been Tomoki at some point. And it does get better. 

 9. The Titans from Attack on Titan Anime - these are giants, giant maneating humanoids, similar to those in the BFG! They strongly resemble nude humans, although they appear deformed and disfigured to some extent. This often leads them to having bizarre facial features and they also move and run in a peculiar way. The background Titans seem the scariest in this anime. Maybe it’s because they never have any emotion on their face, or because they seem to appear unhumanlike - or maybe it is the very fact that they have human qualities that it scares us. They are constantly naked but also don’t have any genitalia.

 8. Nendou Midori (Nindo's mum) from The Disastrous Life of Saiki K - it feels super harsh to put her here! But to me she wouldn't be as endearing without her more masculine features, big neck and ears and bum chin - there has to be a reason behind the chin! There's no denying she's a super unique-looking character, when most anime females have super saucer eyes - and it's totally refreshing!

 7. Petelgeuse Romanée-Conti in Re: Zero anime - a super scary looking character with heavily red rimmed, huge bulging eyes, a super pale, almost green complexion, a shrunken in face and a scary green bowl cut hairstyle. The fact that he rips out his skin quite often, really doesn’t help. Having bad skin care may be one thing, but eating it is just a whole different level of scary.

 6. Melody from Hunter x Hunter anime - a music hunter and one of Neon Nostrade's bodyguards, this character has a strange balding hairstyle and rodent-like teeth. She is a super nice character however! But I can't help feeling afraid of her sickly pale complexion and scary hairstyle and outfit. She has features of an old woman, yet her face is super young and almost child-like. She is of a stocky build and wears oversized dresses that swamp her frame. 

5. Witch of the Waste from Howl’s Moving Castle Anime - a very powerful and feared elderly witch with a vast arsenal of magical abilities, but also very scary looking, with great ribbons of flesh hanging from her face. And this is just when she’s calm and composed. The second she is enraged, her chin erupts and seems to unravel into the tens of thousands, her face starts breaking out in a sweat, and wrinkles everywhere…

 4. Dodoria from Dragon Ball Z anime - a ruthless warrior that serves alongside Zarbon as one of Frieza's top two highest ranking Generals and right-hand men. He is scary, bright pink and spiky in appearance with huge jowls and glaring eyes. He is very intimidating and nightmarish looking, the neon colours may even be enough to induce a headache.

 3. Linlin Charlotte from One Piece anime - a scary and loud pirate lady that looks just like a pantomime villain! She is very large with no neck, has a huge gaping grin, contorting face and devilish eyes - but a huge penchant for pink. One Piece has quite the few peculiar characters, no doubt about it. But Linlin scares me the most, she is extremely loud, crazy and scary and resembles a clown somewhat with her pink locks and bulbous nose.

 2. Pesci from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (Golden Wind) - is a real life eggplant man! Who also somehow looks like Ferb from Phineas and Ferb. He appears to have the head of a vegetable and is literally all neck, his face is an extension of his neck, which makes his eyes seem rather bulging. As far as JJBA goes, his head and fashion sense are rather normal. His hair kind of looks like a pineapple or palm plant - or top of a carrot or some vegetable.

 1. Shigekiyo Yangu from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (Diamond is Unbreakable) - a scary and unappealing character in the anime that is usually seen either crying or being a money-hungry douche. To cement his villainous identity, he appears as a little like a human conker shell - with strange skin-like spikes protruding from his head, plus a huge, gormless gape tooth grin with missing teeth. He has a huge bulging stomach with creepy eyes to match. He also seems to have the body proportions of a baby as his limbs are short and stubby and his head is huge and bulbous. I think that is what makes him so scary - he looks almost like an adult sized baby! He is definitely an A+ villain in my book.
