He holds the first generation of Gotei 13 in high respect, as they were Shinigami who could sow fear into his heart. He particularly admired Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, whom he called a demon because he treated his subordinates like waste ashes.

As a child, he was characterized by his constant dedication to please and win the love of Gambino, his master in the arts of being a mercenary, whom he saw as a father (although said empathy was not mutual).

Alucard is one of the first vampires to exist, if not the first. Usually dressed in a rather dilapidated costume, probably dating from the 19th century and his famous bright red coat and hat, Alucard has long black hair and sports a pair of yellow-tinted glasses.
However, depending on whether he has lifted the seals (barriers intended to limit the use of his abilities) or not, his appearance changes. He then finds himself with longer hair escaping down to his lower back and sometimes swaps his eternal coat for a black leather jumpsuit covered with buttons, holding more of the straitjacket than the hero costume.

37. Spike Spiegel
Franchise: Cowboy Bebop
Spike Spiegel is a 27-year-old bounty hunter, born June 26, 2044 on Mars. He is a tall, thin young man.

But finally, she forgets this reason and decides to accompany Ash to Kanto, Johto, and the Orange Archipelago to perfect her learning to become a Master of Water-type Pokémon.
35. Inosuke Hashibara
Franchise: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Inosuke is an extremely short-tempered and proud young man who considers himself the strongest fighter ever. He constantly challenges people he meets and wants them to admire and recognize him for his abilities. This often puts him in dangerous situations because he overestimates himself and tries to fight strong opponents even though he has no chance.
Nor can he admit his defeats. This is especially evident when Giyu Tomioka has to tie him up after his fight against the Spider Demon (Father), as he wants to keep fighting despite his injuries. This constant desire to be the best can also lead to Inosuke being very provocative, as he often tries to get others to fight him, most notably Tanjiro Kamado. However, the latter usually fails due to his clueless nature.
34. Yūji Itadori
Franchise: Jujutsu Kaisen
He is an extremely gifted teenager in sports who joined his high school spirit club to be able to leave school earlier. After the other two club members find and open a box containing a cursed relic resembling a mummified finger, his high school is attacked by creatures known as “Curses.”
In order to protect his friends, Yuji swallows the finger and finds himself possessed by a plague named Ryōmen Sukuna. Considered a plague, Yuji is condemned to death, but Satoru Gojō, a professor at the Tokyo School of Exorcism, offers him an alternative to delaying his execution.
Sukuna’s fingers are relics, indestructible in theory, but Yuji being able to absorb them while maintaining control of his body, he will have to help the exorcists to retrieve the other relics, swallow them, and only then be killed, thus allowing the removal of Sukuna from his own body.
33. Zenitsu Agatsuma
Franchise: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Zenitsu is cowardly and thinks that, due to the dangerous work of a demon hunter, he has little time left to live, which is why he often clings to the girls he meets, asking them to marry him. Zenitsu has low self-esteem, which prevents him from justifying the expectations of other people and his own – feeling feelings of difficulty or danger, he runs away, hides, or just cries. This often causes him to lose faith in his abilities and denies Zenitsu that he won the victory on his own, even when it is obvious.
He thinks his calling is to live a modest life, not kill demons. Even being soft-spoken, Zenitsu respects his comrades and especially admires his late teacher Jigoku. A sense of duty to him helps Zenitsu forget about fear and focus at the right time. Over time, Zenitsu will become braver in battles, as seen in the battle against his classmate Kaigaku and in the battle against Muzan.
32. Sōsuke Aizen
Franchise: BLEACH

In order to recover the Hōgyoku (Pearl of Destruction), created and hidden in Rukia Kuchiki’s body by Kisuke Urahara, he organizes the execution of Rukia, which creates unrest in the Seireitei; he then pretends to be dead with the help of his zanpakutō which possesses hypnotic powers, in order to be able to act discreetly.
31. Winry Rockbell
Franchise: Fullmetal Alchemist
Her parents were doctors and had been requisitioned by the army during the Ishbal War. They treated the wounded without distinction of camp, which earned them the respect of all, including the inhabitants of Ishbal. Unfortunately, they were killed by Scar, who had just regained consciousness after receiving their treatment, gone completely mad when instead of his arm, he saw his brother’s.
Since that day, Winry has been raised by her paternal grandmother, Pinako Rockbell, a famous automail maker. Winry is passionate about mechanics and makes it clear to Ed, with the help of a wrench, that his mechanical parts must not be damaged. Despite the fact that she seems aggressive, she worries a lot for Ed and Al. Indeed, if they do not tell her much about their adventures, she realizes that they are putting themselves in danger to achieve their goal.
30. Kenpachi Zaraki
Franchise: BLEACH
Kenpachi Zaraki is a tall shinigami with disproportionate and demonic power. Kenpachi Zaraki is the only shinigami to become captain of his division without knowing the name of his Zanpakutō or passing the shinigami entrance exams. He arrived at this post by killing the former captain of the Kenpachi Kiganjō division in front of 200 witnesses.
Maki Ichinose (see Bounts arc) was then a shinigami of the Eleventh Division. Unable to recognize Kenpachi as a captain, he went into exile. Kenpachi is affectionately nicknamed “Keni” by his Vice-Captain Yachiru, the only one who can speak “normally” to him.

28. Roronoa Zoro
Franchise: One Piece
Zoro is a serious and cold-looking character. He has a sometimes thoughtful but excessive temperament (see Arc of Alabasta). The series creator, Eiichiro Oda, compares him to a shark or a demon. Yet his reactions are often comical or exaggerated. During sea crossings, we see him either training or taking a nap or sleeping, which in the latter case often means he is awakened quite brutally.
Like Nami, he has great resistance to alcohol, and we never see him drunk. He has no sense of direction and has an adversarial and competitive relationship with Sanji, the ship’s cook, with whom he constantly argues, including and especially in the midst of battle. However, as fighters, they regularly demonstrate mutual respect. His relationship with Nami is also not very good as he does not appreciate her greed, and she has moreover managed to trap him in Wiskey Peak.
27. Piccolo
Franchise: Dragon Ball
Piccolo is at one point forced to fight with his arch-rival, Goku, against an alien Saiyan, Raditz, who is trying to conquer the world.

She is expelled from the tower by Jellal, who is controlled by an evil entity, so she decides to join Fairy Tail, Rob’s guild. From the moment she arrived at the guild, she was withdrawn and wary of people.
It is Gray who will help her to open up to others, constantly wanting to provoke her. After Natsu’s arrival at the guild, she helps him learn more to read because Ignir, Natsu’s father, had not been able to complete his apprenticeship.
25. Rem and Ram
Franchise: Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World
Erm is a female oni with blue hair and eyes (an allusion to the famous Japanese tale) and the younger twin sister of Ram; she works with Ram as a servant at Roswaal Manor: she performs her chores and cooks much better than her sister, who is less competent and willing to work.
Ram is also a female oni, but with pink hair and eyes, and the older twin sister of Rem. She works with her as a servant at Roswaal mansion: however, she performs her chores and cooks less well than her sister, who is more competent and voluntary at work.

However, he never showed her any real sign of affection. He is always calm, arrogant, and sure of himself.
Although he shows no emotion upon learning that Rukia is about to be executed, he is deeply upset and does not know what to do. As he is also the head of the Kuchiki family, one of the most important in Soul Society, he is the best known of the Gotei 13 captains. His mastery of bakudo and hado is such that he does not need to quote the formulas.
He has a problem with several people, including Yachiru, lieutenant of the 11th division, and Ichigo.
23. Nezuko Kamado
Franchise: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Nezuko was a very kind, caring older sister who thought of others first when she was still a human being. However, like the Demon, Nezuko seems to have forgotten much of her memories of man, other than those related to her family. She is still very caring and protective of the people she considers her family members. However, this is mainly due to Sakonji Urokodaki’s influence on her when she slept for two years.
Nezuko also retains some of her human emotions, as she cries when she is sad and smiles when she is happy, but overall she looks devoid of emotion compared to a human. She is still much calmer and less evil than most demons. Ever since she became a demon, Nezuko doesn’t seem to be afraid to fight: she fiercely supports her brother and allies in battle.
22. Akane Tsunemori
Franchise: Psycho-Pass
A 20-year-old heroine and new inspector of Division 1, she is considered a model citizen, on the one hand for her very weak Psycho-Pass and on the other hand for her maximum score allowing her to join any position.

20. Rukia Kuchiki
Franchise: BLEACH
Rukia Kuchiki is a shinigami, whose fate will change when she meets Ichigo as well as the lieutenant of the Thirteenth Division. She’s a bit of a tomboy who adores rabbits and drawing pictures (which Ichigo says are really awful), but according to Renji, she always has an aura of sweetness around her.
She is nonetheless the trigger character of the manga, and she is a really endearing character. She was adopted a little less than 50 years ago by the noble Kuchiki family, a very important shinigami family, and thanks to this, she did not need to take an exam to enter Gotei 13. She is part of the 13th Division and is under the command of Jūshiro Ukitake.
