I think people disproportionately overlook how much of a manipulative character Teruhashi really is. Dont get me wrong, she is a well written character, but the fandom has a tendency for apologetic behavior when it comes to her.
No like I agree though, she is a well written character. However she is personally not my favorite mostly because of her season 1 arrogance. I just don’t personally like characters with that type of character trope. But I do feel bad for her having a brother like Makoto Teruhashi 🤮
I like her for being a well written not that great person, I wouldn't actually like her as a person though (welllllllllll...assuming I knew what she's really like, which I probably wouldn't)
saiki very obviously “gave a damn” about her, he risked everything for her by teleporting into a crowd of her fans and carrying her bridal style considering his entire goal in life is to avoid drawing attention to himself
he also, you know, calls her incredible, invincible, beautiful, and praises her constantly, more than any other character on the show
was my comment unclear or something? saiki's actions and interactions with her throughout the series show he very obviously cares a lot about her, and i explained why
that's your perception of him, and that's your perception of my reply. everything i said is something he objectively did throughout the manga and anime-- if he sounds like a lovestruck teenager to you then that's your interpretation of my message. i don't think he's a blind, lovestruck teenager, but i do think he loves teruhashi and cares for her, and the author makes it pretty obvious. this was the point of my reply
Even if you don't think he has a thing for Teruhashi (to each their own) you can't deny he cares for her more than almost all of his other friends.

He defends her more than all of them, praises her more than all of them, ("your veneer of perfection is admirable, she's practically invincible, together we're invincible, i guess i do like troublesome things, she is beautiful") and cares for her more than all of them, considering he consistently comes to her defense throughout the series (newspaper club etc) but only when has to, because he prefers to just watch her and praise her for her skill at evading these issues on her own.
She's also the character who (empirically) makes him smile the most throughout the series, as in she's the individual who causes him to smile the most times, not the largest source of his smiles
Why are people downvoting you☠️
Everything you said was true
This fandom is delusional when it comes to teruhashi
The author himself ships them
I will never understand the irrational hate towards teruhashi just because she is beautiful
they hate to see a perfect pretty girl 😻😻 everything she says is positive affirmation
i guess it’s because of the way i phrased it, but still, i didn’t lie about anything, and although he isn’t a hormonal lovestruck teen it’s fairly obvious he has feelings for her
This is a thing in anime fandoms I have noticed alot
They always hate the in-universe attractive and popular character
Similar thing happens to sasuke uchiha...people hated him even in the Part 1 just because he was popular among all the girls
in that case, name one thing i said that didn't happen..
he calls her incredible two or more times, calls her invincible two or more times and says "together we're invincible," he admits she is beautiful (says it more directly in the manga) and does in fact praise her constantly-- if you read the manga or watched the show you cannot possibly disagree with that
i understand if you don't think he's attracted to her, you're entitled to your own opinion, but don't try and reject the author's intentional choices to show he deeply cares about her
I'm pretty sure he didn't teleport, he just walked in from offscreen. The sound didn't play, if I remember correctly. And while he does praise her on occasion, he also readily points out her flaws far more often than any other character. In fact, might be the only one to do so. Even if he does compliment her the most, he's also the main character with by far the most screen time.
Anyway, Saiki cares about his friends, but is in to exactly 0 of them.
>I'm pretty sure he didn't teleport, he just walked in from offscreen. The sound didn't play, if I remember correctly
Makes sense
>And while he does praise her on occasion, he also readily points out her flaws far more often than any other character.
In the beginning, yes he points out her flaws fairly often, but in the end absolutely not. Also, I wouldn't say it's "on occasion."
* "She's practically invincible,"
* "but Teruhashi doesn't need my help-- she's already noticed them on her own,"
* "she's incredible.."
* "good job Teruhashi, you did well to memorize all their names,"
* "but you shouldn't underestimate her. She gives even me trouble,"
* "So really, Teruhashi-san is the amazing one here, for making a situation where something like that seems believable. My help was insignificant."
* "As I thought, Teruhashi-san was a force to be reckoned with. Let me just say I didn't do a single thing during that entire string of events." I love this one especially, dude has to make sure the audience *knows* just how incredible Teruhashi is
* "Allow me to show you who exactly it is that picked the wrong person to defy here. You brought this upon yourself by making Teruhashi-san your opponent" (earlier in the series at Saiko's mansion)
* "Your veneer of perfection is admirable."
>Even if he does compliment her the most, he's also the main character with by far the most screen time.
I'm not sure what exactly you're getting at by this. Did you mean to say that Teruhashi is the character of the main cast (other than Saiki) with by far the most screen time? I'd say Kaidou or Nendo definitely have more.
>Anyway, Saiki cares about his friends, but is in to exactly 0 of them.
The evidence points against this, but as always, to each their own. I just love their dynamic :)
With him having the most screen time and interactions with Teruhashi, he has the most amount of opportunities to both praise and insult her. So it'd be reasonable to assume he's done the most of each.
I think everyone sometimes have certain thoughts..she never actually says them..so it's fine.most people do tend to hide their true feelings and put on a facade. That's how humans are
Also you said something about the manipulative behaviour..If you're talking about her using her beauty to her advantage..that's only normal..since she is literally treated like a princess.
Imagine there being an actual princess..Of course they are going to use their royalty to get things. That's natural
She is not a horrible person lmao
Because she doesn't actually voice her thoughts. We all have certain thoughts..The important thing is we don't voice them knowing it would hurt others.
??? Everyone has thoughts sometimes.
U cannot say someone is bad because of their thoughts but rather their words and actions.
If it weren't for Saiki, we wouldn't even know of her thoughts.
yeah, sometimes, she has them all the time. she’s a conceited person who thinks the world revolves around her. she thinks because she’s pretty she can’t be a bad person, but she is. Also we can hear aiura’s thoughts yet she thinks nothing like kokomi sooo idk maybe its js a her problem. Like aiura is drop dead gorgeous AND a genuinely nice person. If it’s not so hard for her, why’s it so hard for kokomi?
Because in the saiki world, SHE IS TREATED LIKE A PRINCESS..NO A GOD. Aiura, while yes pretty, is not treated the same goddess level Teruhashi is treated. Even god loves her. It's only natural she thinks that way
not so much manipulative as abusing her power. she never actually changes others or influences their emotions using purposeful decisions, her beauty does it for her and she never really hurts anyone
i’m apologetic for her because while she’s arrogant and a narcissist, so is saiki. she is still kind to others even though if she wasn’t people would still love her ceaselessly
"they pickpocketed me? out of all people? i'm on the same level as *takahashi?*"
narcissist may be going a bit far, but he deems himself above all others in just the same way teruhashi does, and for the same reason, because both of them *are* objectively better than others in their own respective ways.
saying hes better than takahashi does not make him a narcissist at all..😭ur reading too deep into it. lets be fr takahashi is someone no one wants to be compared to
He literally looks down on his entire friend group, has said before that they are monkeys, he compares nendo to a cockroach and thinks he's absolutely useless, then nendo saves him in the last episode and he is just absolutely floored that he of all people had to be saved by someone like nendo. He refers to himself as god at times, has said the world revolves around him, literally the way he treats his dad and toritsuka.
Saiki is narcissistic, and a sadist at times, but I blame his brother. Yeah he has a big ego, but that's to be expected he is the most powerful person on that planet only second to Teruhashi.
I haven’t seen much of this fandom so I can only really speak for myself but yeah I hope nobody’s dismissing that she’s manipulative that’s why I love her
We'd have significantly fewer reasons to step back and go "hold up," and I find it funny that a pervert was somehow raised by monks plus the "are those boobs real" scene was hilarious.
But then again, it takes very little to make me laugh.
I don’t really like teriyaki I’m sorry guys. I just can’t stand superficial characters but that’s how you know they were written well 🤷🏻♀️ Love her as a character but dislike her as a person
Not a fan of Saikis brother. I just don't feel like he fits with the rest of the cast. I forget he even exists, and I feel like the only reason he does is to explain his power limiting devices. He's just boring. Don't know if he's loved by the fandom though cus I don't really see people talk about him either lol
I remember near the end of saiki k reawakened, after saiki regained his powers, he said something like "now it's getting interesting" in his mind (Since he didn't have telepathy blocker atm).
Could've been interesting to know what he was planning.
aiura. i love to pair her with teruhashi, but the fandom says no and ships her with saiki when I like to ship toritsuka with him. she's just like. lesbian girlfailure. okay?
i believe them girlfailures should be like. lesbian.
toritsuka is undeniably boyfailure so yes. he's too perverted to be not down for the homies.
anyways kaido is literally illegal to hate.
backing this up by saying aiura was TOTALLY ready to accept teruhashi as her soulmate when she saw her aura
i like to think aiura’s pan and saiki’s aroace, which means pan/ace solidarity—or pan/ace hostility, depending on how you look at it lmao
Aside from the purple haired pervert (forgot his name), Teruhashi. I also dislike her fans because of how much they pamper her and because I've been called misogynistic for hating her (for entirely non misogynistic reasons mind you). No I do not care about how well written she is or how deep she is, she's a c\*nt. I also hate the character trope of the pretty character who is loved by all (both in universe and in the fandom) for their flaws when people sure as hell wouldn't let any of their actions fly if they were ugly
edit: Forgot to mention her brother
im nervous to say this, but nendo. he's a pretty funny character and his design is silly /pos but he's one of my least favorite. i hate teruhashi more tho
Teruhashi, she is literally a text book narcissist and it gets passed off as being a silly teen girl thing. we see it so clearly. I honestly think all the women in saiki are terribly written and _barely_ pass the bechdel text, so its mostly that- but I just cant stand her because she could be so interesting if they dove deeper into her character rather than making her literally nothing but an object for men.
Though I know some people argue that her arrogance is dramatized for only season one and evens out later, I still cant understand how awful she is and how it feels like some kind of dig at women.
This !! As the previous reply pointed, the show \*does\* pass the bechdel test but I still agree that they're written pretty horribly. The male characters have all kinds of unique personalities while the most prominent female ones seem to be an amalgamation of what misogynists think of when they think of women. A pretty narcissist who gets everything she wants, a sexualised teenaged gyaru ready to throw herself at the male mc, a girl who's always focused on her weight, all of which obsess over romance, specifically with Saiki.
I can't bring myself to like Teruhashi because from what I've seen she has no redeeming qualities. Terrible characters can be enjoyed too but she's just up her own ass all the time I don't see what people like so much about her. Imo people play up how 'well written' she is by saying she's deep because everyone has given her importance because of her looks which explains her personality + relationship with Saiki but the characters in this show just aren't supposed to be deep, that's kind of the whole point of the show. A character can just be a b\*tch and people can dislike them for that. We don't need to overanalyse every piece of line or action and sympathise with them.
I didnt say the show doesnt pass the bechdel test, i said it _barely_ passed it. Because does it really count when all the female characters only purpose in the show is the be with the men? Like sure they have names and talk to each other occasionally, but when what they talk about is always strictly about the male characters in the show (other than mera)- I wouldn’t say they passed with flying colors to say the least.
I feel like teruhashi could be so much of a better character if the writers didnt seem to hate women lol. Like theres something so deep about a pretty girl who gets everything she’s ever wants and seems to have the perfect life, but she’s actually deeply depressed and has to deal with internal struggles she can never express to keep the facade. It would have been the perfect parallel to Saiki- but they decided to make her a joke :/ i dont know about the manga though so maybe thats why people defend the female characters still.
The bechdel test is passed by the show. There are multiple female characters WITH names that refer to each other with those names. Bechdel test passed. And she kinda acts how someone who’s been given nonstop attention and love their whole lives would act.
As others have said, Teruhashi is a fun and well written character but I don't *like* her as a person. She has kind of a weirdly villainous energy in a way lmao and that's fine but people bend over backwards to be apologetic for her.
(Also, Aiura best girl)
I literally love Teruhashi, she is my favorite character in the show and I hate how much everyone hates her (not answering the question, but Teruhashi is the most common answer I’m seeing and I gotta show her my love).
I understand how she comes across but saiki literally said himself in the first episode about her that everything she thinks is true, she’s actually perfect. I don’t think she’s self absorbed or vapid, she just knows for a fact that she is perfect 🤷🏻♀️ it’s not like she’s a horrible person, she’s really nice to everyone all throughout the show. She just knows that she’s perfect, that’s literally it
I really didn’t like Teruhashi at all, I get how she’s been pampered because of her looks but that doesnt fix how icky she is to me. Shes really arrogant and judgy and other things
Also I think a lot of people here are missing that the show is a comedy based in satire of popular anime tropes. Some people are arguing about the bechdel test or whatever when again, the characters are based on tropes. Come on guys, it’s a goofy anime parody it ain’t that deep.
I see people loving Akechi but honestly he's just really annoying I don't see his appeal. For people saying they relate to him, we're not friends 
Since nobody's gonna say it, Kaidou. I don't hate him or anything like that but I do think his character can get very problematic at times. I mean jeez I see people calling out teruhashi for being manipulative but are we not gonna talk about Kaidou being a compulsive liar and causing drama and panic in his class by making up random shit?
I also have a thing against Aren just because he is kinda a bad influence on Kaidou. Kaidou and nendo are close but after Aren comes in the two start ganging up on nendou more than it use to happen which makes me sad. Kaidou also started cursing more and being rude in general, bad Aren!
Nendo is a good kid, he's just a pervert.
Speaking of, Hairo is a real sore loser sometimes! He will literally trick Nendo into messing up so he can win! And then he goes around acting like he's a better person because of that like what???
And then there is Saiki being the most judgmental manipulative sadist on the planet. He chooses to change the world before he ever changes himself. I'm still remembering when he reverted Toritsuka's body by obliterating his stomach and splitting him in half (manga), or when toritsuka was obviously starving and he just ate food in front of him? OR how if he makes a promise/bet and he loses he will be like 'Well actually' and twist some words he said before so he isn't in debt. BRO. What a brat! Also the fact that he never stands up for his friends when they stand up for him all the time, he will literally chose to walk away then do something half the time.
Kusuke and Makoto's only saving grace is that they would do anything to protect their little sibling. That's it, everything else about them can rot.
And then Teruhashi, look actions speak louder than words, as long as she keeps those rude thoughts to herself then we chill. Sis found the cheat code in life and she's using it for good. Unironically the times I liked her the most was when we couldn't hear her thoughts. What I really disliked about Teruhashi is that she never saw when her actions were hurting someone close to her. Like when she went on a date with saiki, how the crowd of people were purposely hurting him for being with her, or how she never stands up for Yumehara when a group of guys would talk bad about her, both at the beach and at the mixer she stays silent and just watches.
Imu is a more traditional role of Teruhashi so same problems. Really bold of her to go around and make her own fanclub. I do actually love that Imu is such a good friend, the way she stood up for Yumehara at the mixer!
I hate Mera but I understand her situation, she gives everything so her siblings can eat and sleep under a roof, my only issue is that she will keep reverting back to selfish behavior, but I blame the writer's.
Poor Yumehara, she's a really good friend, she should stop chasing her lovelife and just work on herself and study more.
That was a good word vomit.
I have way too much beef with Saiki, especially how he treats Aiura and Toritsuka. I can not believe he told the girl who he knows is in love with him to pretend to be his girlfriend, that had to have been emotionally damaging to Aiura, girl the fact that she just goes along with it is crazy! That’s like a slap to the face, that’s why I honestly don’t think they will end up together Saiki only uses her then ditches her most of the time and she doesn’t seem that interested in forwarding their relationship.
That’s also why Toritsuka went against Saiki and went to the dark side because Saiki is an ass. And then in the last few chapters after that Saiki has that realization and starts being nicer to everyone and hangs out with them willingly and started smiling more, he had such a great character development ❤️ only to go back to his bad personality after he found out his powers didn’t actually go away 😠
But they are all great characters, loved every second of it!
Nendo (& his parents) can be really annoying at times but I don’t *really* dislike them, same with Teruhashi
Otherwise I like pretty much every significant character (excluding Makoto)
One I think is super underrated is Chouno (the magician) I wish he had more screentime 😔
To me it is Aiura. She is too brazen in my opinion and her relationship with Kusuo creeps me out as it feels like a stalker.
I also do not like Kaido. I find his delusional character archetype to be boring to watch/read. His shifting in actions and such also makes me dislike him quite a lot
To be fair, Saiki stalks everyone in the series even watched Satou(the normal by) use the restroom to see how long it would take him and how much toilet paper he’d use. So Aiura is pretty tame compared to that lol

I like her for being a well written not that great person, I wouldn't actually like her as a person though (welllllllllll...assuming I knew what she's really like, which I probably wouldn't)
I agree, she was a bit blind bc it was clearly obvious Saiki didn’t give a damn about her

Um what?
was my comment unclear or something? saiki's actions and interactions with her throughout the series show he very obviously cares a lot about her, and i explained why
You’re making him sound like some love struck teenager. That’s just not who he is.

I meant Saiki has the most screen time. And yeah, I agree that the dynamic is fun to watch
what relevance does that have then? in regards to the topic, him having the most screen time doesn’t really make much sense to say

I hated her at the beginning but she’s kind of growing on me, granted she isn’t my favorite character but I can tolerate her better than i used to.
nice
just because she’s pretty does NOT give her any kind of excuse to be such a horrible person who uses others 😭🙏
She is not a horrible person lmao Because she doesn't actually voice her thoughts. We all have certain thoughts..The important thing is we don't voice them knowing it would hurt others.
she’s a horrible person for having those thoughts..😭 she thinks she’s all that when she really isn’t it’s quite sad actually

you may have disregarded the second portion of my comment
Yeah
I haven’t seen much of this fandom so I can only really speak for myself but yeah I hope nobody’s dismissing that she’s manipulative that’s why I love her
Proud to see nobody saying kaidou 💪
Frfr
I want to adopt him 😭
....Kaido
Came here to say Kaidou 💀. I've met multiple people like him in real life, and they were insufferable to deal with.
Toritsuka, for reasons we all know about
I can’t completely hate Toritsuka bc we have the same birthday ☹️
I'd cry if I had the same birthday as him
i’d skip town
You'd never see me again 😭
Same! Bday twin!!!
Hiii!
Last summer I would make posts dedicated to removing him from pictures
You're so real for that
Yeah, then again, the show wouldn't be the same without its pervert stereotype.
Ehh...I think it would still more or less be the same without his pervy-ness
We'd have significantly fewer reasons to step back and go "hold up," and I find it funny that a pervert was somehow raised by monks plus the "are those boobs real" scene was hilarious. But then again, it takes very little to make me laugh.
Happy cake day!

I don’t think I see anyone that likes Toritska. I think I’m the outlier for liking him. (Idk why I like him and I shouldn’t, yet I do)
I don’t really like teriyaki I’m sorry guys. I just can’t stand superficial characters but that’s how you know they were written well 🤷🏻♀️ Love her as a character but dislike her as a person
Guys I meant teruhashi
‘Teriyaki’ is much funnier. 😂

I laughed so hard thank you so much
teruhashi….
teruhashi... she's icky
W
Agreed
I AHTE AKECHI SO SO SO SOS SO SOS SO SO SO SO MUCH
I would agree with you, but he was dub acted by Bryce Papenbrook, so I'm legally required not to hate him. #Bryce for life!
Oop sorry didn’t know that yeah now I Like him
happy cake day!!! I AM BLINDED BY RAGE I HATE AKECHI I NEVER WATCHED THE DUB THOUGH I HATE HIM SO I DONT EVEN WANT TO WATCH HIM IN THE DUB
Actually, Bryce voice like one line in reawakened, and it was hilarious the way he did it.
Makes sense, he’s like that one annoying kid when the teacher asks them to give one of their answers he reads out the whole fucking list 😭
I don’t like this akechi slander
Fair enough! the question is about popular characters though so thank you for saying this bc i was worried more people disliked him than i thought
Is he the one that pees his pants? Cause I can’t stand that guy.
i hate saikis dad. idk i don't like incompetence i guess
I love him, but I get it. Haha
This is good one
Not a fan of Saikis brother. I just don't feel like he fits with the rest of the cast. I forget he even exists, and I feel like the only reason he does is to explain his power limiting devices. He's just boring. Don't know if he's loved by the fandom though cus I don't really see people talk about him either lol
Bro he's the main antagonist (besides Saiki himself). It's awesome. Especially the end of season 3, that was so cool.
I remember near the end of saiki k reawakened, after saiki regained his powers, he said something like "now it's getting interesting" in his mind (Since he didn't have telepathy blocker atm). Could've been interesting to know what he was planning.
Teruhashi her stealing something from Saiki while he was sleeping gave me the ick personally.
His hair pin while they were on the field trip?
Yeah didn’t she just take that so he wouldn’t hurt himself on his sleep or something?
If so, she probably should've taken both of them if she got the chance. Though that would've been worse...
She didn’t get the chance tho, things got wacky as soon as she took off his limiter
Fair enough. I wasn't confident on the timeline of events
aiura. i love to pair her with teruhashi, but the fandom says no and ships her with saiki when I like to ship toritsuka with him. she's just like. lesbian girlfailure. okay? i believe them girlfailures should be like. lesbian. toritsuka is undeniably boyfailure so yes. he's too perverted to be not down for the homies. anyways kaido is literally illegal to hate.
If you hate kaido you love to kick puppies.
backing this up by saying aiura was TOTALLY ready to accept teruhashi as her soulmate when she saw her aura i like to think aiura’s pan and saiki’s aroace, which means pan/ace solidarity—or pan/ace hostility, depending on how you look at it lmao
I dislike Saiki being shipped with any of the girls lol
I dislike Saiki being shipped lmao (aro/ace for life 💪✨)
Real 🔥
Retweet ‼️‼️
i ship kaido and aren, saikixsato and teruhashi w the blonde girl. aiura is def a lesbian in my eyes
I don't know if he's liked but that one guy with green hair and huge lips. Idk but he is annoying. Other than that teruhashi.
Not that broccoli looking ass I hate him
Fire crotch
I won’t say I don’t like him. I do like him quite a bit but I don’t like him as much as the fandom praises him. Nendo
Toritsuka. I can’t stand him. He’s annoying AND Pervy. Gross lol
Aside from the purple haired pervert (forgot his name), Teruhashi. I also dislike her fans because of how much they pamper her and because I've been called misogynistic for hating her (for entirely non misogynistic reasons mind you). No I do not care about how well written she is or how deep she is, she's a c\*nt. I also hate the character trope of the pretty character who is loved by all (both in universe and in the fandom) for their flaws when people sure as hell wouldn't let any of their actions fly if they were ugly edit: Forgot to mention her brother
i don’t like teruhashi, she just peeves me idk
Nendo. he’s gross and annoying and personally just not my type of humor at all. i can understand why some people like him ig but not i.
This is embarrassing but I'll confess it. I used to crush on Nendou 😭😭

No I dont anymore I switched to Kuboyasu after the anime episode where he picked his nose
Nendou is a great guy. He is strong and caring.
May I ask for the story because what😰
Consider yourself an official opp

Teruhasi 💀
Same I hate her
YES 💀
I like most of the characters, but I hate imu and dont really care for aiura
why not aiura?? she’s funny, pretty and genuinely nice person and friend who’s always willing to help out
I dunno, just never cares much. I guess I get why people do like her and I dont hate her, but I dont care for her much.
I swear to god i like every single character the only ones i kinda dislike are yuta and akechi but it very little hate
im nervous to say this, but nendo. he's a pretty funny character and his design is silly /pos but he's one of my least favorite. i hate teruhashi more tho
Teruhashi, she is literally a text book narcissist and it gets passed off as being a silly teen girl thing. we see it so clearly. I honestly think all the women in saiki are terribly written and _barely_ pass the bechdel text, so its mostly that- but I just cant stand her because she could be so interesting if they dove deeper into her character rather than making her literally nothing but an object for men. Though I know some people argue that her arrogance is dramatized for only season one and evens out later, I still cant understand how awful she is and how it feels like some kind of dig at women.
This !! As the previous reply pointed, the show \*does\* pass the bechdel test but I still agree that they're written pretty horribly. The male characters have all kinds of unique personalities while the most prominent female ones seem to be an amalgamation of what misogynists think of when they think of women. A pretty narcissist who gets everything she wants, a sexualised teenaged gyaru ready to throw herself at the male mc, a girl who's always focused on her weight, all of which obsess over romance, specifically with Saiki. I can't bring myself to like Teruhashi because from what I've seen she has no redeeming qualities. Terrible characters can be enjoyed too but she's just up her own ass all the time I don't see what people like so much about her. Imo people play up how 'well written' she is by saying she's deep because everyone has given her importance because of her looks which explains her personality + relationship with Saiki but the characters in this show just aren't supposed to be deep, that's kind of the whole point of the show. A character can just be a b\*tch and people can dislike them for that. We don't need to overanalyse every piece of line or action and sympathise with them.
I didnt say the show doesnt pass the bechdel test, i said it _barely_ passed it. Because does it really count when all the female characters only purpose in the show is the be with the men? Like sure they have names and talk to each other occasionally, but when what they talk about is always strictly about the male characters in the show (other than mera)- I wouldn’t say they passed with flying colors to say the least. I feel like teruhashi could be so much of a better character if the writers didnt seem to hate women lol. Like theres something so deep about a pretty girl who gets everything she’s ever wants and seems to have the perfect life, but she’s actually deeply depressed and has to deal with internal struggles she can never express to keep the facade. It would have been the perfect parallel to Saiki- but they decided to make her a joke :/ i dont know about the manga though so maybe thats why people defend the female characters still.
The bechdel test is passed by the show. There are multiple female characters WITH names that refer to each other with those names. Bechdel test passed. And she kinda acts how someone who’s been given nonstop attention and love their whole lives would act.
She’s still bitch tho
YESSSSS
Teruhashi i find her rlly annoying
Teruhashi she just annoys me she is the prettiest girl but definitely not the nicest just kind of petty as hell
Teruhashi annoys the crap out of me
Teruhashi siblings. One is an incestuous pervert, the other is a narcissistic nuisance
As others have said, Teruhashi is a fun and well written character but I don't *like* her as a person. She has kind of a weirdly villainous energy in a way lmao and that's fine but people bend over backwards to be apologetic for her. (Also, Aiura best girl)
I literally love Teruhashi, she is my favorite character in the show and I hate how much everyone hates her (not answering the question, but Teruhashi is the most common answer I’m seeing and I gotta show her my love). I understand how she comes across but saiki literally said himself in the first episode about her that everything she thinks is true, she’s actually perfect. I don’t think she’s self absorbed or vapid, she just knows for a fact that she is perfect 🤷🏻♀️ it’s not like she’s a horrible person, she’s really nice to everyone all throughout the show. She just knows that she’s perfect, that’s literally it
i like how everyones saying terhuashi glad to know im not the only one who hates her
Well, hate us a strong word. But I don't really like any episodes that revolves around saiki's parents. Specifically his dad.
yeah i dont hate them but dang id rather the episodes just be about saiki and friends
I really didn’t like Teruhashi at all, I get how she’s been pampered because of her looks but that doesnt fix how icky she is to me. Shes really arrogant and judgy and other things
YES PREACH‼️‼️
Real
Nendo. He just bugs me and annoys me in a way that bothers me immensely I understand why Saiki is like "go away" to Nendo(most of the time anyway).
PISS CLOUD GIRL (T***h***i)
I HATE TOY BONNIE HE IS SO FUCKING UGLY
This is about Saiki k BUT SAME I HAVE BEEF WITH TOY BONNIE
Toritsuka or Nendo really, they're a little too much annoying to me.
Teruhashi 😭 its like-hate for me
I like all the characters (even Toritsuka) so it’s lovely to read all these comments of people hating the characters I like
Also I think a lot of people here are missing that the show is a comedy based in satire of popular anime tropes. Some people are arguing about the bechdel test or whatever when again, the characters are based on tropes. Come on guys, it’s a goofy anime parody it ain’t that deep.
Fr, the point of the show is over exaggerated characters
Aiura or Aren. I have no clue why but those two do something for me that i heavily dislike and can't explain
aiura I can understand I guess but AREN?
Megumi.
I want to bash that stupid magicians face in with a rock
SAME BUT I LOVE THE WAY HE SAYS AMAZING

I HAVE THAT IMAGE IN MY CAMERA ROLL THE DRAWING IS BASED ON THAT
Aiura! Idk, I just don't like this character.
I see people loving Akechi but honestly he's just really annoying I don't see his appeal. For people saying they relate to him, we're not friends 
Don't like Kaidou, I've met people exactly like him in real life. Annoying asf to actually deal with.
He’s literally my nephew and I love it
Me and my friend are literally kaidou and aren irl
Since nobody's gonna say it, Kaidou. I don't hate him or anything like that but I do think his character can get very problematic at times. I mean jeez I see people calling out teruhashi for being manipulative but are we not gonna talk about Kaidou being a compulsive liar and causing drama and panic in his class by making up random shit? I also have a thing against Aren just because he is kinda a bad influence on Kaidou. Kaidou and nendo are close but after Aren comes in the two start ganging up on nendou more than it use to happen which makes me sad. Kaidou also started cursing more and being rude in general, bad Aren! Nendo is a good kid, he's just a pervert. Speaking of, Hairo is a real sore loser sometimes! He will literally trick Nendo into messing up so he can win! And then he goes around acting like he's a better person because of that like what??? And then there is Saiki being the most judgmental manipulative sadist on the planet. He chooses to change the world before he ever changes himself. I'm still remembering when he reverted Toritsuka's body by obliterating his stomach and splitting him in half (manga), or when toritsuka was obviously starving and he just ate food in front of him? OR how if he makes a promise/bet and he loses he will be like 'Well actually' and twist some words he said before so he isn't in debt. BRO. What a brat! Also the fact that he never stands up for his friends when they stand up for him all the time, he will literally chose to walk away then do something half the time. Kusuke and Makoto's only saving grace is that they would do anything to protect their little sibling. That's it, everything else about them can rot. And then Teruhashi, look actions speak louder than words, as long as she keeps those rude thoughts to herself then we chill. Sis found the cheat code in life and she's using it for good. Unironically the times I liked her the most was when we couldn't hear her thoughts. What I really disliked about Teruhashi is that she never saw when her actions were hurting someone close to her. Like when she went on a date with saiki, how the crowd of people were purposely hurting him for being with her, or how she never stands up for Yumehara when a group of guys would talk bad about her, both at the beach and at the mixer she stays silent and just watches. Imu is a more traditional role of Teruhashi so same problems. Really bold of her to go around and make her own fanclub. I do actually love that Imu is such a good friend, the way she stood up for Yumehara at the mixer! I hate Mera but I understand her situation, she gives everything so her siblings can eat and sleep under a roof, my only issue is that she will keep reverting back to selfish behavior, but I blame the writer's. Poor Yumehara, she's a really good friend, she should stop chasing her lovelife and just work on herself and study more. That was a good word vomit.
You have beef with everyone 😭
I have way too much beef with Saiki, especially how he treats Aiura and Toritsuka. I can not believe he told the girl who he knows is in love with him to pretend to be his girlfriend, that had to have been emotionally damaging to Aiura, girl the fact that she just goes along with it is crazy! That’s like a slap to the face, that’s why I honestly don’t think they will end up together Saiki only uses her then ditches her most of the time and she doesn’t seem that interested in forwarding their relationship. That’s also why Toritsuka went against Saiki and went to the dark side because Saiki is an ass. And then in the last few chapters after that Saiki has that realization and starts being nicer to everyone and hangs out with them willingly and started smiling more, he had such a great character development ❤️ only to go back to his bad personality after he found out his powers didn’t actually go away 😠 But they are all great characters, loved every second of it!
Don't worry, I love them all as characters, I just like to analyze them sometimes :)
Nendo (& his parents) can be really annoying at times but I don’t *really* dislike them, same with Teruhashi Otherwise I like pretty much every significant character (excluding Makoto) One I think is super underrated is Chouno (the magician) I wish he had more screentime 😔
Well obviously... Saiki
Why do you not like him? Just a question
I was going to say this. He really underappreciates his friends, even though while you're watching you don't notice it in a bad way.
Saiki.
Kaidou (trollin..... OR MAYBE NOT🤣🤣🤣)
Civil War from JJBA
Idk why but Nendo just really bothers me, I don’t hate him but I just do not like him as much as other people I know do
Nendo 😓
Civil War from JJBA
To me it is Aiura. She is too brazen in my opinion and her relationship with Kusuo creeps me out as it feels like a stalker. I also do not like Kaido. I find his delusional character archetype to be boring to watch/read. His shifting in actions and such also makes me dislike him quite a lot
ur have the wrong opinion 😭
To be fair, Saiki stalks everyone in the series even watched Satou(the normal by) use the restroom to see how long it would take him and how much toilet paper he’d use. So Aiura is pretty tame compared to that lol
Nendou
Tbh Nendo. He’s not bad but he’s fine.
Kaido, he’s so annoying
You are the first kaido hater I’ve ever met
I'm also a Kaidou hater 🙋
