2. Sesshomaru (Inuyasha)

Sesshomaru is Inuyasha’s half-demon brother, he has the same father as Inuyasha but a different mother.

To me, Sesshomaru seems like the more masculine type than Inuyasha.

When you first meet him, fans wouldn’t like him at first. I for one didn’t like him till like, in the middle of the series.

He’s trying to find himself at times, and trying to figure out why his father gave him the sword that is useless to him and gave the other sword to Inuyasha instead.

He almost looks like Inuyasha with the long, white hair and dog ears; but other than that, the two are completely different.

3. Kenshin Himura (Rurouni Kenshin)

Rurouni Kenshin is a samurai anime that takes place in the Meiji era. Himura Kenshin meets Kamiya Karou one day and the two really didn’t hit it off that well but became close friends.

Kenshin has long red/orange hair which is usually in a ponytail till the end of the manga where he cuts it off.

Rurouni Kenshin is a long series but some of the episodes are awesome even the fillers.

4. Soubi Agatsuma (Loveless)

Soubi is in the anime and manga of Loveless, he is the fighter unit for Seimei and then later on, for Ritsuka.

Throughout the anime, Ritsuka figures out what Soubi is to Seimei and finds out more about being a Fighter / Sacrifice.

Soubi became Ritsuka’s fighter who is named “Loveless,” but it isn’t supposed to happen cause Soubi has Seimei as he has the name “Beloved.”

It is a puzzlement on who Ritsuka’s real fighter unit is.

He is like a father-figure to Naruto Uzumaki thanks to the role he plays in the series.

The first time you meet Sartorius is in Yu-gi-oh GX, the sequel to the original Yu-gi-oh.

He has some of my favorite episodes where he goes to Domino City and meets Seto Kaiba, one of the protagonists from the original.

Sartorius seems evil but that’s because he is, but after a duel against the protagonist, Jaden Yuki, he was able to defeat the evil within.

He returns to Duel Academy to have another rematch later on.

Yu-gi-oh is a card game show and is about a shy kid named Yugi who solves the millennium puzzle and meets his alter ego.
