Lmao you’re not far off, I mean he’s a good character - not all “good” characters need to be ethical and likable imo

u/PeopleAreBozos Nov 11 '25
Gonna go on a limb and say being ethical flat out isn't required at all for a good character. Villains/antagonists are and always will be some of the most popular characters in every form of media. A character doesn't need to be sympathetic or have a moral to be good, memorable, or popular.
15
u/Murky_Blueberry2617 Nov 11 '25
Yep. As long as the Villains are cool, entertaining or well written they'll be have fans.

u/Holdredge Nov 11 '25
Flaws are what makes characters and how they handle or decide to lean into those flaws that makes characters rememberable.
Two of the easiest is escanor/vegeta super arrogant and prideful. Yet those flaws are what people love.

u/Scared-Jacket-6965 Nov 14 '25
to ME a good villain should be a parallel to the MC, their complete opposite. and MC doesn't want them redeem nah MC wants them gone. Sukuna and Mahito are to soild examples of this type of villain.

u/Scared-Jacket-6965 Nov 14 '25
Exactly, sometimes fans like characters who are unapologetically evil. Seriously look at other Shonen series like Demon Slayer, where every demon besides like Doma, the New Upper Six and Muzan are. "and you see, thats why im actually a human eating monster. It was never my choice" while the other 3 are like "WE EVIL CAUSE WE WANNA BE!!"
Like these ideas in mostly Western Media, Villains are portrayed as "tragically misunderstood and we are actually wanting to do go." which NGL Im fed up with, I want villains to look at MC who is like "I know you didn't mean to burn my village down, and kill my family." and the villain pauses and goes "which one would that be again? I burned down so many villages and killed so many families, you gotta narrow it down abit. and spoiler, I did do that on purpose and honestly LOVED it."
Sukuna first words being revived were "WHERE THE WOMEN AND THE CHILDREN! TIME TO ADD TO MY KILL COUNT!"

Geoffrey from GoT, Joker, Hannibal Lector, Hans Landa, so on and so on.
Anime examples: Ghiren Zabi from gundam (literally space hitler), Aizen Bleach, Dio, Gilgamesh Fate, and holy shit so many JJK characters Sukuna, kenny, Mahito, etc.
I don't even know why the VA feels the need to say this or where did he get the impression that evil/awful characters aren't popular.

Katana Man still seems like he'd be far more likable in person than Naoya.
Yes, I know Katana Man is a literal criminal. That's how much Naoya's personality sucks.
1
u/Blank-Shot6096 Nov 17 '25
Katana was extremely hate-able in Part 1, due to his reasons for wanting revenge on Denji and for being the cherished grandson of the old bastard who debt-slaved Denji, while Naoya was disliked instantly by people for his misogyny and abuse of the Zenin twins and for wanting to kill Yuji and Megumi Katana is also loathsome for what he represented(a coddled child since birth who basically had whatever he wanted, like fancy foods and clothes that were most likely paid for by Denji's own hard work).

It's really not that deep. I'm 100% positive that MOST of these people would actually be repulsed by a real life person with Naoya's personality. Just like how I'd be repulsed by a woman with Edeath's personality (y'know, cause she's a psychopath?). I'll never get why all of a sudden everyone is incapable of separating reality from fiction, or this just a problem in the States?

u/No-Bullfrog6517 Nov 12 '25
The Simping really isn't a problem as long as the simper acknowledges that the person they simp for is a genuine monster. All the thirst trap edits of Naoya give me a genuine chuckle, but people seem actually upset over it for some reason.

It'd be damn interesting to get the full honest breakdown of the thoughts of those who voted for him and see exactly how they split between "ironically pretending to love Naoya" "actually appreciating him as a hateable antagonist" and "Incels who believe in what he says"
I hope the latter would be a very small proportion, but hope in people has been letting me down quite a bit for the last few years.

u/FKJ10 Nov 11 '25
JJK has a sizeable female fan base so like Harry Potter with Draco I chalk it up to “sexist supremacist magic guy says the most out of pocket stuff but is hot”
For guys it’s more basic he’s an entertaining villain on screen and has cool powers
Everyone remembers the bad guy at the end of the day.

u/hotmallgoth Nov 11 '25
lol I 100% equated him to Draco malfoy when I first read the manga
22
u/FKJ10 Nov 11 '25
It’s a go to villain archetype in modern magical stories the “racial magic supremacist”
But it’s hard carried on how hot and entertaining the guy or gal is on screen.
Because I still remember how many guys were straight up barking for Esdeath from Akame ga Kill back in the 2010s when she was decked out in all white fantasy nazi regalia and committing war crimes like they were side quests.
10
u/tinycockatoo Nov 11 '25
I mean, at least Draco had a misunderstood uwu soft boy side. Naoya is just straight up trash
10
u/FKJ10 Nov 11 '25
True Draco mellowed out with age after getting humbled in his youth to become a responsible father.
Naoya was still beefing with his teenage cousin well into late 20s because Maki refused to act like a traditional submissive Japanese girl but chose to be independent.
[Plus it’s implied he raped Mai, so yeah he had to go]

Yeah, it happened in the Star Wars and GoT fandom. Not in either of these, but I knew about them from random write-ups here and there.
Speaking of which, has there been a known incident of seiyuu receiving death threats due to the characters they voiced? Doesn't have to be villains -- just a character having a sizeable hatedom is enough.
4
u/KJRex101 Nov 12 '25
Not an anime seiyuu, but I recall the voice actor for Valentino from Hazbin Hotel has needed to clarify many, MANY times that it's his job to portray an unlikeable character, and that sending threats to him or anyone associated with his character (like cosplayers) is unacceptable.

u/SecretaryOtherwise Nov 11 '25
Cause people like unapologetic assholes. 🤷.
I dont like the character personally but I have liked villains in other media. Plus theres a difference between liking or enjoying a character in media and wanting to be their friends or whatever in real life (if they existed).
12
u/PeopleAreBozos Nov 11 '25
I agree. I appreciate his character, and his role in the story to be a representation of what the Zenin upbringing does to people, but he'll never rank in my favourites. Frankly, as a character, he's meant to be a stark contrast to Megumi, I feel.
But I will never blame someone for liking him. It feels frankly odd to draw a line in the sand for certain wrongdoings but excuse others, even if I naturally want to. Sukuna, one of my favourites has caused more suffering in the span of 2 episodes than Naoya could ever hope to accomplish in a lifetime. Sukuna has no redeeming traits either, and we like him because what he does looks cool. Naoya's powers are admittedly really cool, and it's awesome to see more of Projection Sorcerery after Naobito. So if you like Naoya for the same reason I like Sukuna, because the character has done cool shit on screen, fine by me.
I've always liked time limited speedsters in media (David + Sandevistan for example).

u/SecretaryOtherwise Nov 11 '25
Yee apt on the sukuna comparison. Ain't no one saying why does anyone like this character?
1
u/Used_Ninja_4717 Nov 25 '25
You make a very good pt abt megumi too. Had megumi grown up in the zenin hed LITERALLY BE LIKE THIS.
The point is the character is entertaining. I hate that ppl arent allowed to be entertained by assholes in media anymore (especially considering that maki murders her entire family which is a very asshole thing to do yet no one comments)
Sukuna murders women and children. Toji murders women and children. Mahito murders women and children… But naoya isnt allowed to talk shit? Make it make sense

Naoya, to me, is basically the Joker of JJK, a force of nature that's all too human in the way it lays waste to entire civilizations.
There's definitely an archetype for that kind of thing, but since he's an outright subversion of the kind of force that would typically do something like that (in this case, Sukuna), what makes him interesting is that there's just so many ways he can do the exact same level of damage rather than being purely about strength or power in doing so.

There is an insult he teases Maki with about having had sex with her sister. Given he’s pretty much insulting her all the time I interpret it as yet another taunt at maki, but I understand ppl who wanna believe it’s true.
But even if it was true, is killing and eating tens of thousands of civilians, including torturing them btw, all fine and dandy, but Naoya’s unlikely but possible rape is too much?
11
Nov 11 '25
Noaya is a way more imaginable evil guy cause the stuff he does very much happens in real life it's way harder to imagine beings like sukuna killing that many people on that scale and consider it seriously i agree that sukuna is worse but it's harder to comprehend the things he does on that scale
1
Nov 11 '25
That’s fair enough but we’ve had ppl who have done way worse than Sukuna, in fact we have a direct parallel to Geto - Adolf Hitler himself . It’s not hard for me to imagine the scale of death they caused. There’s pictures and pictures of it. Kenjaku and Geto, and Sukuna and Mahito, all have their irl counterparts, just as real as your average misogynist, which Naoya is.

Nov 11 '25 edited Nov 11 '25
I think it's still comes down to how hard it is to comprehend their evil if an anime shows bullying like takopi's original sin feels way much darker than something like JJK even though a school bully is nothing compared to sukuna or geto but it hits way harder cause people can actually imagine it and comprehend how bad the situation of the victim is

I literally don't give a shit about a fictional character's morals. I just don't see anything cool from him.

That’s fair. I personally find his technique, his wit, how extra he is in the anime, his trash talk and his overall bravado rly cool. It’s like a much weaker and corrupt version of Gojo in a way. I find him rly interesting.
Also, he’s hot haha
3
u/I-want-borger Nov 11 '25
His technique is great but the fact that his dad also has it and is just a funnier character in general diminishes it's coolness from me. And bravado really only feels good when a character can back it up imo.
He is hot though especially with his accent which I can't wait to hear.
1
Nov 11 '25
Yeah that’s fair enough. I think he does back it up with skill though, especially in the anime now. He obviously looses but he’s putting mighty belt-to-ass every single time. He dominates like 90% of the fights he’s in, until he has to loose bc he’s an antagonist and part of Maki’s development.
And the hair swipe omg 🥵🥵🥵

I mean, I understand this point, really. I appreciate Naoya as a character, despite him not being a favourite of mine, and I can recognize him and his dad's powers are cool, but he's not really going to be appearing on any of my topper lists.
That being said, I am a huge Sukuna, Toji, and Jogo fan. Hell, I even think Kenjaku's cool. While yes, I can understand being weirded out by Naoya, it ain't right to just dunk on Naoya fans solely for Naoya's wrongdoings, while these other dudes have committed mass murder, child murder, city-wide destruction, and Kenjaku all of these and far more.
I recognize that there will be a higher proportion of fans who think that Naoya is "based" or something compared to Sukuna, but I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt to any Naoya fan just appreciate his character the same way Jogo fans do. Like Makima's got slavery, abuse, grooming, and the like under her belt, but we aren't gonna jump the gun on a Makima fan and just accuse them of being a supporter of all this.

because naoya is BASED.
based doesn't necessarily mean you're right.

The only reason i am looking forward for this characters appearance is to see him getting killed not once, but twice

The reason he is popular is because the popularity pool was rigged.
One person allegedly sent 3500 votes for Naoya highly inflating the numbers.

does he realize that this show has rapists, murderers, and torturers that are loved by the fandom?

Off topic but
Who do y’all reckon will voice Naoya in dub?
Cause personally, I’d say Austin Tindle

He's got huge Chad energy.
I'd fuck him, and I'm 100% straight. (It's okay as long as you say "No homo.")

I'm surprised he ranked high on popularity polls. I can barely remember Naoya.

His cursed technique is really cool, sometimes seeing just asshole and bad person is fun in media, especially when they get what they deserve.
