I love how of all the badasses I love, I saved all my venom for Sora
Wow, Sasuke-neko spent so long yowling at the top of her lungs for me to throw her damn toy this morning that I think she injured her voice. Now she can only squeak and very softly. That'll teach her to yell at me when I have a headache. I swear, she's worse than a dog when it comes to her damn toys.
I fell behind in my summaries last night due to slump or something like that. I am quite annoyed with myself. Why can't I ever find decent wallpapers for any of my pairings unless the series is insanely popular.
I've realized very few of my favorite characters have ever done something so awful that I can put them on this list.
1. Sasuke Uchiha: Joining Orochimaru. I don't mind the trying to kill Naruto (because he was certifiably insane at that point) or the hurting everyone in the recent chapters (he was in funk) or any of the other dumb shit the boy has done. But joining Orochimaru seriously placed so much of his character in jeopardy that I still resent him for it and continue to resent him for it. I'll love him until the end of time, but I'd kill for some reckoning when it comes to this.
2: Albert Morcerf: Challenging the Count to a duel and dooming Franz in the process. I've accepted that Albert can be a naive idiot and that's one of his charms. But he had to know that he had no chance in a duel against the Count, especially considering his pathetic display against Maximillian near the beginning of the series. He had to have known later that Franz would never let him go through with it. As he clearly tells Franz, he isn't even so pissed about the Count dishonoring his family so much as the way the Count betrayed and used him. The duel was a selfish act and in demanding it, Albert killed Franz. No love, Albert.
3. Willow Rosenberg: Turning against Buffy in the final season due to Kennedy's influence. Willow was very much a back-burner sort of character in this season, and I was a bit disappointed. But I know Willow and Willow would never throw her best friend out of her own house just because it seemed she was in over her head. I hold a great deal of anger toward Willow for accepting Kennedy so quickly as well but that's a lesser evil. The betrayal was the most vicious.
4. Seto Kaiba: Rushing Yuugi to duel him at Battle City, full knowing that Jou was on death's door. I know Kaiba is single-minded and sees Duel Monsters and gaming as superior to everything. But even Kaiba would realize how shaken Yuugi was over Jou's condition and know that taking him on now would be putting Yuugi at an unfair disadvantage. While Kaiba may be a wiley bastard, he does have honor and should see something wrong in battling an opponent not in peak condition. Yes, I see this as worse than Death-T because Kaiba has changed at this point (seen in his viewing of Jou and Yuugi's battle) and understands things more clearly.
5. Gaara: Nearly killing Lee in the Chuunin Exam. I didn't like Gaara for a long time since he first showed up and I saw the massive carnage he ensued in without reason. I only later started to like him when I learned more after his life and of course after his rescue of Lee from Kimimaro.
I was originally going to be a huge spoiler about Kira (AS) in this part but I decided that I'll wait until I actually read the chapter to make my judgment.
BONUSES because they aren't my favorite characters. I just like them:
The Elric brothers: Abandoning Winry after the movie to live together in Germany. I understand Ed's point on wanting to help the place that is now his home and I understand Al's desire to be with him after being apart for so long. But those boys are always leaving Winry behind, and they didn't even say goodbye. It just really pisses me off.
Sora: Acting like he didn't give a shit that he was killing people when he was taking out the Organization members, especially the way he balantly told Demyx and Xemnas that they didn't have feelings/hearts so it didn't matter. I'm with people who say this was out of character for the Sora who tries to understand everyone. It makes it worse, seeing as he already knew Organization members could feel something since he saw how Axel acted in sacrifing himself and explaining Roxas' importance to him. Sora, you are a hypocrite!
