Initially, Rolo pretends to like his brother, but his affection for Lelouch becomes a dangerous obsession as time passes. He becomes so possessive that he plots to eliminate Lelouch’s other siblings and be the only brother left standing.

In a twisted attempt to keep the heroine by his side, Toma lies about being her boyfriend and even tries to drug her to keep her with him. When she discovers the truth, Toma’s true nature is revealed – he locks her up in a cage and insists that it’s for her good.

Vincent, a character in Pandora Hearts, exhibits a troubling fixation on his brother Gilbert. After their biological parents abandoned them, both were adopted into the Nightray Dukedom. Even as children, Vincent fiercely protected his brother, insisting that Gilbert was the only thing that mattered.

The show describes Vincent as having a “brother complex” and a “pathological affection” for Gilbert.

Vincent’s mistreatment as a Child of III Omen caused many people to treat him poorly, affecting Gilbert. However, Gilbert remained devoted to Vincent and refused to abandon him.

As a result, Vincent became obsessed with protecting his brother at all costs.

In this anime based on an otome game, all the student council members exhibit some level of yandere behavior towards the main character.

However, Urie and Shiki stand out as two particularly noteworthy examples.

In the anime Code Geass, Mao is the primary antagonist who is gifted with the power of mind-reading Geass by C.C. when he was only six years old. Unfortunately, continuous exposure to mind-reading causes Mao to suffer from severe mental instability.

However, he develops an intense fixation on C.C. because he cannot read her mind.

Mao utilizes his Geass ability to manipulate his victims by exploiting their vulnerabilities. He enjoys watching people suffer and brainwashes them to turn against each other. He also uses inhumane methods to torment his targets.

When C.C. rejects his advances, Mao completely loses his sanity and shoots her multiple times to ensure no one else can have her.

Azusa Mukami is a character who exhibits extreme sadistic and masochistic tendencies, often projecting his fears and traumas onto the heroine, Yui, under the guise of “love.” As a yandere, Azusa frequently inflicts mental or physical abuse on Yui by choking her, drinking her blood, or forcing her to consume foods she dislikes.

Azusa believes self-harm is the ultimate pleasure, and he can sometimes even coerce the heroine to participate in these behaviors.

Later in the series, it becomes evident that Azusa truly loves Yui but struggles to express his feelings without causing harm. His sociopathic tendencies only serve to compound the danger of his yandere behaviors.

However, in the show’s final scenes, his yandere tendencies come to the forefront as he fights alongside Akira to save the world.

Fans of the franchise will undoubtedly appreciate the taste of yandere that Ryo’s character brings to the story.

In Black Butler, Alois serves as the leader of the Trancy household and possesses a cheerful yet sadistic personality. He is fixated on his butler, Claude Faustus, and constantly seeks his attention.

Alois has an insatiable need for affection and attention from those around him.

Alois behaves recklessly when he does not get his way and often mistreats those closest to him. He also exhibits signs of being a pathological liar, especially regarding his past.

Alois directs much of his anger towards Hannah Annafellows, the loyal housemaid, whenever he perceives she is taking Claude’s attention away from him.

Clear’s enigmatic personality is evident in his distinctive gas mask, which only adds to his mysterious nature. Despite Aoba’s lack of familiarity with Clear, the latter claims to be his master and is willing to go to any lengths for him.

In the actual anime series, Clear is not portrayed as a yandere. However, in the Dramatical Murder OVA, which depicts the various Bad Endings from the visual novel it is based on, Clear’s yandere tendencies are fully revealed, and the scenes are quite graphic.

In contrast to Durarara’s other yandere character, Izaya, Seiji tends to resort to violence rather than manipulation. Despite this, Seiji is capable of love.

Seiji’s affections lie with Celty’s head, which he believes was attached to his stalker Mika’s body. Mika herself is also a yandere for Seiji. When Seiji discovers the truth, he still accepts Mika’s love while maintaining a threatening stance to protect the head he loves.

This storyline is one of many fascinating, convoluted storylines that make up the Durarara series.

In Gun Gale Online (GGO), the main antagonist is Shinkawa, who goes by the name Spigel (which is German for “mirror”). In Shinkawa Kyouji, the second son of a hospital director, his parents are putting enormous pressure on him to succeed them. Shinkawa’s mental state is further damaged by constant bullying from his peers at school.

However, instead of facing reality, he retreats into the virtual world. Shinkawa believes that being powerful in the digital world will compensate for his weaknesses in the real world.

In order to overcome Asada Shino’s fear of guns, Shinkawa rescues her from a group of bullies. At first, Shinkawa appears normal, but things take a turn for the worse after the Bullet to Bullet tournament.

In his visit to Asada, Spigel congratulates her on her victory and confesses his feelings to her. However, Asada rejects him, which leads to disastrous consequences.

Kanato Sakamaki is one of the most unsettling characters in Diabolic Lovers. He exhibits extremely immature behavior, often throwing loud tantrums until his desires are met. His attachment to his stuffed animal, Teddy, is intense, as it holds the remains of his deceased mother, whom he incinerated.

Due to his mother’s revolving door of lovers, Kanato views women solely as objects of desire. This perception leads him to disregard Yui’s pleas during their intimate moments.

He becomes highly possessive of Yui and exhibits his Yandere tendencies towards anyone who threatens her. Kanato is unafraid to resort to extreme violence and torture to eliminate obstacles.

Shuu, the Gourmet Ghoul of Tokyo Ghoul’s 20th ward, possesses a delusional belief in his uniqueness and sophistication, which only highlights his psychotic tendencies.

His top-tier Yandere status is evident in his disturbing behavior towards Misono Karube, a pretty server he follows home to sauté and consume her eyeballs.

Upon encountering Kaneki Ken at Anteiku, Shuu is immediately drawn to him. He offers his handkerchief to Kaneki to wipe his injured hand and keeps it as a memento.

Later, Shuu excuses himself to the bathroom and repeatedly sniffs Kaneki’s blood with a perverse sense of delight. This scene is undoubtedly one of the most unsettling moments in the anime.
