How about we check out a super top 5 of the saddest pasts in anime ? There are several works that feature a distant character with a tragic backstory. With that in mind, we decided to bring you this list. By the way, consider donating to our blog, as this will help us continue our free, quality services. Now, without further ado, let's check out this list:
The Saddest Anime Pasts – Top 5
5. Ed and Al: First, let's talk about this protagonist duo from a great anime that was and still is a hit today. It's truly heartbreaking to see two little brothers lose their parents at such a young age. Only those who have lost their mother or father know what I'm talking about. Furthermore, the burden of trying to revive and nearly losing your brother and your arms is also very difficult to live with. Anyway, at least we have a happy ending to this wonderful work.
4. Naruto: Now, let's talk about another classic anime. There, we see the tragic childhood of our beloved Naruto, growing up without parents or friends. It's also worth noting that he was hated by the village all along, as he had a monster trapped inside him. Even so, it's beautiful to see that he never gave up on his dream of becoming Hokage, and today we see him at the top of Konoha.
The Saddest Anime Pasts – Top 3
03. Yuzuru Otonashi
Now, opening our top 3, you'll surely remember Angel Beats. Basically, everyone there has a dark and sad past. But this time, we'll give special attention to the protagonist, Otonashi. He was always a very caring guy and dedicated himself mainly to caring for his little sister, who suffered from a serious illness. So, after she passed away, he decided to become a doctor and went through a lot in the process. But the sad thing is, he dies as soon as he graduates. Anyway, with scenes that would make any man cry, Angel Beats is still one of my favorite anime.
02. Nagato
Here, we'll revisit Naruto, as it features several characters with complex pasts, and mentioning just one would be unfair. Now, let's talk about one of the antagonists, who grew up and lived through a tragic war. He lost several close friends in battles and always wanted only peace. Definitely a man with beautiful ideas, but he was defeated by the evil of the world and became Pain. In short, a respectable character who did good with his last breath!
01. Sanji
And finally, let's talk about one of One Piece's protagonists. Surely all the heroes have a past that would make anyone cry, but Sanji's in particular touched me deeply. First, it's worth mentioning that he suffered greatly at home, where he was mistreated by his father and even brothers, often living in prison. Furthermore, he also suffered greatly after being shipwrecked on an island with Zeff and spending several days starving. It's certainly something no child could endure, but Sanji overcame it all and is now a true man.
Well, folks, that was another special Sunday list. I hope you enjoyed it, leave a comment, and see you next time!
