The anime world is diverse, and so are its characters. One will find different personalities ranging from extremely sweet to extremely dangerous. Today’s blog will be about the best Yandere Characters Of All Time.Â
You got that right! All of these characters are known for their obsessive and possessive tendencies. These characters are considered to be dangerous because they can go to the extent of harming others just because they don’t want them to like their crushes.
So, do everything but make sure not to get in the way of these Yanderes. Let’s begin the list.
35. Shion Sonozaki (Higurashi)

Shion is a badass and manipulative girl who doesn’t like when things go out of her expectation. The more she loves making others jealous, the more easily she can get jealous. Sometimes she seems approachable and cheerful, but that’s not always the case.
She has a perfect balance of likable and unlikable traits. Thus it would not be right to call her a bad person. Her personality has a positive side, especially how she supports her close ones. The negative traits of her personality are also because of a syndrome that turns her into a violent person.

Gorgeous is the perfect word that suits this god named Balder. He is a lively and cheerful person who loves spending time with Yui, his love interest. Since he is possessive and a yandere, he hates sharing her with anyone else.
Therefore, he gets easily disturbed seeing her with others. Balder is an entertaining personality, and his screen time is one of the most enjoyable for fans. He is an ideal friend who is forgiving and understanding. Because of his possessiveness and obsession over Yui, he comes on this list of best Yandere characters of all time.
33. Haruna Niekawa (Durarara)

No matter her unhealthy obsession, her love for him was pure. Unfortunately, Nasujima was only using her for his own advantage.
Haruna is a cliche Yandere who can’t tolerate the thought of seeing her lover with another girl. Thus, after learning that Nasujima is interested in another girl, she is ready to take her life. Her looks, expressions and smile speaks of her dangerous personality very well.
32. Ringo Oginome (Mawaru Penguindrum)

Ringo seems to be a simple girl, but deep down, she is a complex girl who is not easy to understand. She can get abusive and forceful in relationships and even go to the extent of raping her love interest.
Luckily, Shoma, her partner in crime and friend, stopped her from performing the act. It’s true that Shoma is a good partner, but unfortunately, Ringo doesn’t treat him how he deserves. She is one of those Yanderes who keep themselves before others. With time, her character changes, and she realizes her feelings for Shoma and decides not to repeat the same mistake again.

This green-haired doll is one of the main characters in the show. She harbored feelings for her savior Euphemia, and with time, it became an obsession. Therefore, after her death, she decided to take revenge on the murderer.

Her facial expressions indicate that something is wrong with this girl. She is not a cliche sweet girl with a kind heart. In fact, like a typical yandere, she is psychotic and obsessive. Himiko enjoys people suffering, and it amuses her to another level.
She considers Deku attractive, and with time, her crush on him intensifies. For her, nothing is right or wrong as long as it gives her what she wants. As I said, she enjoys watching people in pain; thus, she is attractive to boys who bleed or are injured. Pretty strange, right? Most of the time, she is chilled out, but there are times when she can behave extremely violently.
26. Shuka Karino (Darwin’s Game)

Shuka is another complex girl yet intriguing to know. She can be crazy in love to the point that she doesn’t mind dying.

25. Kotonoha Katsura (School Days)

Kotonoha is a beautiful girl who speaks politely and has almost all the qualities to appeal to someone. However, her Yandere characteristics make her a bit fearsome. She can’t withstand if her crush doesn’t reciprocate her feelings, thus, she can get ready to kill or to be killed.
Like a typical Yandere, she hates all the girls she thinks are stealing her guy. She is a very different and sort of weird lady with an exceptional way of thinking.

24. Akane Hiyama (Renai Boukun)

One thing is a constant for any Yandere: they can’t bear anyone getting near their love interest. So, the same goes for Akane Hiyama. You can expect her stabbing people to death, and this is very well proved right from the beginning of the series.
Though obsessive about Seiji, her love interest, she is observed to be not forceful in their relationship, which is a plus point. It’s not like she hates all the girls Seiji interacts with but only those she considers a competition.
She was introduced as an antagonist but with the story’s progress, she became a tritagonist. Overall, she is a fun character and worthy to be on this list of best Yandere characters.
23. Lindo (Dance With Devils)

Who says only females are Yandere? There are many male anime characters who are Yandere. Meet Lindo, the most handsome and one of the best Yandere characters of all time. He is not only beautiful from the outside but from the inside as well.
This red-haired guy is extremely loyal to Ritsuka and can do anything to protect her from harm. He is ready to kill and to be killed for her. He is a caring and kind-hearted man who can’t trust anyone easily and especially those who have betrayed him previously.

Though Kaede most of the time shows the traits of a nice and kind soul, there are times when she becomes a violent yandere. Only a shock is enough to trigger her yandere personality. So, it’s better not to give her a reason to be mad; otherwise, Kaede is a perfect lady who is loyal in her love life.
21. Konishi (Charlotte)
Credit: Wiki Fandom
You can’t judge a person from their appearance, and no one can teach this lesson better than Yandere’s characters. Konishi is one of the best Yandere characters of all time, as she is apparently the sweetest but the exact opposite deep down.
She has feelings for Oikawa, but the fact that he doesn’t her feelings makes her mad. Konishi is so obsessive that she has even tried to kill the girl Oikawa feels attracted to. There are many instances in the anime where she proves to be the most dangerous character.

17. Touka Fukawa (Danganronpa: The Animation)
Credit: MAL
Touka is a very strange girl who behaves awkwardly because of her poor social skills. Usually, this girl avoids interaction with others and, most of the time is on her own. It’s not her fault completely, as she grew up getting bullied by people, so she doesn’t have a good impression of people.

His relationship with Yui proves that he is a yandere. He is obsessed with her and not even kind to her as he fails to understand her. Well, the reason for his attitude and beliefs is his poor upbringing. Since he is a yandere, you can expect him to harm anyone who wishes to harm Yui.

Esdeath is not a sweet girl and has an exceptional hatred for weaklings. She is brutal towards the powerless and rarely hesitates to give them a challenging time. In fact, this girl enjoys watching people suffer, and seeing her opponents in pain amuses her even more.
However, she knows how to keep people by her side, which is why she was not very strict or her subordinates. Cunningness and evil are what one can easily expect from this lady. In her love life, she is dominating and controlling, which is proved by her chemistry with Tatsumi. Without any doubt, she is one of the scariest yet among the best Yandere characters of all time.

Heroes are usually considered kind and not very strict in their approach. However, that’s not the case with this man; he is one of the coldest and most brutalist heroes. The way he ruthlessly kills the Titans speaks everything about his tough personality.
