Juuzou is often perceived as a cute tiny creature because of his role as a ghoul detective. Despite his pale skin and white hair, they are unaware of how deadly he truly is!

37. Shiro From Deadman Wonderland
Shiro’s carefree demeanor and lack of concern for the future are what first catch the eye, in addition to her pale appearance.

No one even knows what her crime was or why they are imprisoning this angel, who has such a nice disposition and is obviously not harming anyone.
38. Byakuya Ishigami From Dr Stone
Senku’s father wasn’t the most charismatic father in anime when he was first introduced. But it became evident that they were more than just your typical father-son team as time went on and he started to impart life lessons to him during their few minutes together. His unwavering faith in Senku, along with his desire to always make his kid proud of himself, is enough to make me cry.
39. Isaac Netero From Hunter X Hunter
The Hunter Committee’s Chairman, Netero, has been in control for a considerable amount of time. He is so old that he was a child when Zeno was only a few months old! According to Netero, any other hunter will do if you can’t defeat him because they are all inferior to him in strength. The strong Chairman, according to numerous sources, is over 100 years old and never ages—at least not visually. Despite being extremely strong and lethal, he is a really pleasant man.
40. Eris From KonoSuba
Aqua is so self-centered and vengeful, she finds it difficult to understand why others adore Eris. Her kindness, cuteness, and susceptibility to irritation are all fairly clear, though—more so than Aqua or Zeus ever will be. However, there is much disagreement over whether or not particular locations have pads.
41. Ja’far From Magi
Ja’far is that stylish assassin who has just the right amount of wit to keep things light-hearted. For someone with so much burden on his shoulders and such an adventurous spirit at heart, it can be quite difficult for him to give Sinbad the advice he needs without being overbearing or unduly serious about it all.
42. Misha Necron From The Misfit of Demon King Academy
Misha is the kind of girl that never fails to show generosity to anyone. We first witness it when she is kind to Demon Kirito and even goes above and above for him in episode one, despite all he has done to harm others because “he looked so afraid.” Later, we learn that not only do those with terrible intentions fall under this category, but also her family and friends.
43. Shouto Todoroki From My Hero Academia
Shouto’s hair is the ideal combination of red and white. He makes a fairly sexy hero despite having a burn over one eye. Shouto’s costume incorporates metal capsules in case things go horribly wrong fairly quickly so that he may defend himself from villains seeking retribution or who simply want him dead as soon as they can get their hands on him. He also has boots, so when someone gets too close to you, you’ll be prepared with your years of trained martial arts techniques.
44. Aru Akise From Future Diary

46. Shiro From No Game No Life
Shiro has a complicated personality and is a prodigy at logic puzzles. She finds it challenging to comprehend conduct or emotions. Despite being extremely intelligent, she rarely displays any emotion on her face and relies on Sora to assist her to defeat human opponents like Tet in their chess match. Shiro also exhibits jealous behavior if he pays close attention to other girls, which creates an intriguing dynamic in their relationship.
47. Neferpitou From Hunter X Hunter
Neferpitou is a clever and amusing Chimera Ant that resembles a cat. It enjoys playing with its adversaries just like a cat would. Although they are readily distracted, they are also constantly curious. It’s important to avoid provoking Neferpitou since, despite their friendly and playful nature, they have a much terrifying side when they’re in the mood for some sadistic fun.
48. Sophia Ascart From My Next Life as a VILLAINESS
She was born under a curse. Most people find her nasty because of her white hair, red eyes, and typically very pale skin tone, but Katrina befriends the kid early on because they both share a love of books. Nicole, the younger sister, is renowned for being overly protective of this diminutive young woman who has such influence.
49. Black Hanekawa From Nekomonogatari
This one is a little tough because Hanekawa’s alternate personality isn’t really what you’d call a stand-alone character. But I want to include her since she is so endearing and unusual in terms of character. She has a cat equivalent that is significantly more aggressive and domineering than “base form” Hanekawa. Additionally, she is ready to defend her principles and, if necessary, even kill some fools. I can’t emphasize how much more strong, swifter, and somewhat more agile she is. a female cat.
50. Noelle Silve From Black Clover
She is also my last-ditch attempt to believe that female characters in new-gen shounen will be written well. Therefore, I strongly want to include her on this list. Come on, enough with the Sakuras, people. So far, so good; later in the series, Noelle sort of gave up her snobbish attitude and started to pose a real threat on the battlefield. All that’s left is for Asta to go on with her love life and acknowledge that she knows nothing about any ladies who aren’t god’s offspring.
