(#4) Vegeta
- Dragon Ball Z Kai, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn, Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound, Dragon Ball Z: Bardock – The Father of Goku, Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks, Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler, Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan, Plan to Destroy the Saiya-jin, Dragon Ball: Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!, Dragon Ball
Out of all the Dragon Ball Z characters, no one has gone through a journey quite like Vegeta's. Initially, he's portrayed as an unbeatable bad guy, but over time he evolves into a key, yet untrustworthy ally, Vegeta's character arc is one of the strongest in the show.
The real change to his character comes in the "Majin Buu saga," as he finally admits he'll never be able to match Goku's powers and begins to fully embrace his role as a family member. Considering his previous dedication to destroying the Earth in season one of Dragon Ball Z, watching Vegeta humiliate himself in order to save the planet from Beerus, the God of Destruction, in Battle of the Gods is an amazing turnaround.
It's also surprising that, when you take Dragon Ball Super into account, Vegeta becomes a more caring husband and father than Goku.

(#10) Sagara Sanosuke
- Rurouni Kenshin
There's no better way to grab the viewer's attention than to carry around a monstrous sword wherever you go. That's how Sagara Sanosuke made his debut on Rurouni Kenshin; he wields the Zanbatō like it's no big deal. Even after Kenshin destroys the Zanbatō , Sanosuke remains a captivating character to watch.
His brash attitude makes him easier to relate to than Kenshin, and his fighting style following the Zanbatō's destruction becomes more engaging to behold. Watching him try to master the Futae no Kiwami in order to avoid the punishment of death is one of the highlights of the Kyoto arc.

(#7) Seto Kaiba
- Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light, Yu-Gi-Oh!
It might be called Yu-Gi-Oh!, but the real star of the show is without a doubt Seto Kaiba. While Yugi Mutou fills the archetypal shonen role of insecure-yet-confident protagonist to the letter, Kaiba holds nothing back as Yugi's scumbag rival.
From episode one to Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Dark Side of Dimensions, Kaiba never stops being a full-blown jerk to everyone around him in his quest to become the number one trading card gamer. His outrageous antics and unbelievable obsession with the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" cards make him an anime rival you can't help but love.

(#13) Ruri Gokou - Oreimo
With a lead character as loud and obnoxious as Kirino Kousaka, it's not hard to find one to surpass her in Oreimo. One that stands out in particular is the gothic Ruri Gokou, or Kuroneko, as she prefers to be called.
Like Kirino, Kuroneko is an obsessive otaku who writes pretentious doujinshi as well as novels that cater exclusively to her taste. However, Kuroneko's bashful side and sweet relationship with Kyousuke makes her far more palatable than Kirino.

(#2) Karma Akabane - Assassination Classroom
Ever school has its class clown, and Class 3-E is no different. At first glance, Karma Akabane comes off as a lazy troublemaker that's obsessed with humiliating his classmates. Once you get past this first impression, Karma reveals himself to be a sympathetic and hardworking student.
This class clown is also considered to be the strongest of the Class 3-E students, and his hits usually play out like pranks. Nagisa Shiota isn't bad, but he can't compete with Karma's zany charm.
-
(#14) Ymir
- Marvel Universe
There's more to Ymir than meets the eye. Her initial appearance on Attack on Titan paints her as somewhat cynical, selfish, and uncaring. As the series progresses, however, the real Ymir begins to blossom, showcasing her truly heroic side.
Outside of all her surprising personality traits, Ymir's complex backstory is also quite notable. Despite her many fluctuations, one thing that doesn't change is her devotion to her lover Historia Reiss. The same can't be said for Eren Jaeger, who remains predictably boring throughout the series.
