Plot Twists Anime - Top 10
10. Zombie Land - Truck kills Sakura
First, anyone who never says that a turnaround cannot be hilarious, and Zombie Land Saga has its turnaround right away. Thus, the grade starred by Sakura, a high school student who wants nothing more than being an idol and, after a few minutes, she leaves home and a truck hits her and forest. Eventually, it is revived like a zombie, but you won't think about it. You will still think about how that truck has completely destroyed it without any warning. It is the gold of the comedy, simply and simply, a great way to undergo expectations.
09. School Days - The End
School Days is a terrible series. In this way, a mid -2000s harem comedy that has a bad animation, an absolutely horrendous main character and many moments that will piss off anyone. Seriously, after three episodes, you will hate your main character, Makoto. And then we arrived at the final episode. The outrageous, bright and chin final episode. A final episode so infamous that I will not even spoil.
08. Madoka Magica - Just… all this
At first, should I follow the true nature of the magic girls? And the motivations of the cute Kyubey? Or how about the events of episode 3 that put in perspective what kind of series Madoka Magica is? Or why not talk about the tragic history of homura? So Madoka Magica are all the same as my eyes, leading to a series whose twists will completely destroy it.
07. Odd Taxi - Everyone is human
If you have never heard of Odd Taxi, stop and watch now. It is an engaging police drama about a taxi driver who is painfully real with the topics he examines, but that is not why he is on this list. It is not even because the series revolves around the strange death of a high school and the revelation of the culprit was completely unexpected. No, it is here because, although the whole series follows a group of animals, this is actually only the result of a brain injury suffered by the main character!
06. Kill La Kill - Satsuki was good all the time
Throughout Kill La Kill, we saw Ryuko fight against Honouji Academu Student Council, Satsuki Kiryuin. At first, Satsuki is relentless in his goals and always looks like two steps ahead of Ryuko and his friends, even when his subordinates lose. All of this was a maneuver to defeat her mother Ragyo, who is the director of Hannouji, and prevents humanity from being assimilated by alien clothes. Of course, it is predictable, but the length that Satsuki was to prove his loyalty to his mother made this turn even more effective and the revelation so dramatic.

05. Dragon Ball Z - Goku is an alien
The audience can take this as well, given as generations grew up knowing that Goku is an alien, but following the classic Dragon Ball, that was a shock. Dragon Ball foi um anime de ação peculiar que raramente tocou em conceitos de ficção científica, então ver Dragon Ball Z começar não apenas com a revelação de que Goku era um alienígena, mas que ele também tinha um irmão foi um golpe duplo de reviravoltas.
04. Death Note - L Die
On the other hand, Death Note at first establishes a cat and rat dynamics between Light Yagami, a high school student who gains the power of the book that allows him to murder anyone he wants, and l, the detective reclusive who tries to hunt -lo. The first half of the series has these two bright friends working side by side, with Light doing what you can to escape the capture of L and find a way to kill you. And in the middle of the series, however, Light gets and kills L. The death of L was a shocking moment, even because now the show had to find out what happens next.

03. Bleach - Aizen pretended to death
Bleach's Soul Society arc is often considered the best, and this is largely due to its turnaround. Someone murdered division captain 5, Sosuke Aizen, and all eyes are in Ichigo, as the main suspect. At the end of the bow, however, it is revealed that Aizen is not only alive, but he pretended his death and manipulated the other companies to acquire a powerful item named Hogyoku.
02. Berserk - The Eclipse
For the first piece of Berserk's story, we followed a mercenary group called Falcon Band, and his leader Griffith, with his nearest friend Guts. We see them come together, but over time, it is very clear that Griffith is losing control of the group and its own ambition for being able to cause incomparable suffering. At its lowest point, he intentionally inaugurates an event known as Eclipse, where he reaches divinity and joins a demonic group known as God Hand. Berserk exposed the eclipse prophecy and Griffith's destiny very early, so it wasn't a big surprise, but the real shock was how brutal the eclipse was.
01. Attack on Titan - Eren was the villain all the time
Finally, there are many good twists in Attack on Titan and choosing the best was difficult. Learning about the history of the world was definitely surprising, as did the origins of the Titans, and as characters like Bertholdt and Reiner were Titans, but the one that surpasses them all was like Eren was the villain all the time. Eren was manipulating events through his ability to send memories to the past, most notably how he convinced Grisha to kill the Reiss family.
