can’t someone else save the day welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
reluctant anime heroes I can’t help but
feel like I should be doing something
more than I am but what it all seems so
pointless
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking at anime characters that are
unwilling hesitant or are just too lazy
to answer the call of adventure these
characters value their normal lives over
the chance to become a hero
most of the time number 10
Zuko Space Patrol Lulu Koh is a normal
thirteen-year-old girl that wants
nothing more than to live a normal life
it’s too bad for her that she lives in
the only town on the entire planet that
is inhabited by both humans and aliens
ahsoka let me single on you no more Vina
hey Dianna combine this with the fact
that her father works for the local
police force that investigates space
crime with extreme prejudice and her
chances of a normal life seen Brandi
slip things take a total left turn when
her father accidentally freezes himself
during breakfast forcing Lulu code to
work for the space patrol of temporarily
in order to foot the bill
[Music]
number nine kid mussel ultimate muscle
the kindy cumin legacy king muscle son
is that power you believe the legend
skipped a generation once you meet him
he may be our only home there’s only one
thing manlier than wrestling
intergalactic rest length who wouldn’t
want to grapple alien invaders with
their bare hands to save the planet
right well it turns out it’s the one
fighter that earth desperately needs kid
muscle son of the legendary king muscle
is the latest in the bloodline to
inherit ultimate muscle oh sorry not as
sorry as I am it seems you’re our best
hope to battle evil super villains on
earth however kid would much rather sing
songs about his rice bowls and laze
around than save the planet rate C Mon
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
there are only so many things you can do
in an underground village drilling holes
seems to be the path Seimone is chosen
contrary to what you might think though
his drilling skills don’t exactly fill
him with gusto and as a result his
confidence is pretty low luckily he has
the boisterous coming out to encourage
him at every turn don’t believe in
yourself huh believe in me believe in
the kameena who believes in you
while Seimone may think that his brother
is more suited to the job as leader it’s
that first shaky step he took that sent
him on the path to becoming one of the
most badass heroes in anime history spin
on who the hell do you think I am number
seven
you skate we’re a messy yuu-yuu hakusho
whoa watch out kid don’t go into the
road dying sucks it’s even worse when
your death was so pointless that even
the spirit world doesn’t know what to do
with you used a 14 year old delinquent
finds himself in this very situation
after he learns that the kid he risked
his life to save would have been fine
anyway in other words your death was a
complete and utter waste after a series
of tests he becomes a spirit detective a
job he’s not actually thrilled to have
whether it’s the offer of fight tickets
or the kidnapping of his lady friend it
takes a serious shot to get this hero
off his ass
[Music]
number six Shinichi Izumi parasite the
maxim
also what would you do if your right
hand suddenly started talking if you’re
anything like this hero you consider
chopping it off pretty quickly
Shinichi is a 16 year old high school
student who one day finds out that his
right arm has been replaced with the
parasite named Miki understandably
shocked
Shinichi attempts to inform the police
and if things couldn’t get any worse he
runs into other deadly parasites
realizing that he isn’t the only one
with a bad problem and that Nikki will
poke his eyes out if he tries anything
funny
Shinichi has no choice but to fight for
the survival of the human race
and we’re fine Toma tammyjo a certain
magical index wants something kid a
beating maybe well we all have some bad
Luck’s but Tom I just might take the
cake destroy belongings spoiled food a
broken air conditioner and a heat wave
all this in one day not exactly an ideal
way to live but this streak of
misfortune has an upside despite being a
level zero the lowest ranked possible
for a student in Academy City he has the
ability to negate all manner of
supernatural forces with his right hand
including magic s / skills and divine
blessings such as you guessed it luck
it’s not a bad thing to have when you
run into a dangerous fire wielding
sorcerer though it may be the worst when
it comes to having a normal life
okay that’s strange happening number
four who saw gate tsuki no Sailor Moon
[Music]
being the leader of a team of magically
powered girls you would expect the
iconic Sailor Moon to be the epitome of
bravery and focus however our first
impression of her is quite different
she’s a carefree mental student whose
efforts lead to bad grades she doesn’t
take the job as Sailor Moon very
seriously at first and it’s hard to see
how she ever becomes a hero when she’s
screaming in the middle of a battle
but thankfully Luna and her friends were
there to make sure she doesn’t run away
[Music]
number three Amuro ray Mobile Suit
Gundam let’s be honest here we’d all
jump at the chance to pilot a giant
robot right amber O is the first in the
franchise to use one of these bad boys
when he boards the rx-78 two during an
attack on his colony by the Principality
of Zeon with the help of the Gundams
enhanced specs and some quick reading
he’s only to win his first fight with
only some minor losses
however his hasty decision to pilot the
Gundam strips him of any chance of
returning to a normal life as he’s
forced into conscription by the military
shouldering him immense responsibility
and expectations
now listen in the AMRO as long as you
can work the Gundam you’re a pilot not a
kid anymore
your duty now is to protect this ship
number two Gohan Dragonball Z the kid
you tryin to earn some extra cash
babysitting or something he’s my son
when you’re the son of the strongest
fighter on the planet you’ve got some
seriously big shoes to fill and Gohan
might just be able to do that thanks to
his explosive power level this half
Saiyan shares many of the qualities with
his father but at first he doesn’t have
the same courage thrown into a jungle to
fend for himself by piccolo confronted
by deadly sands sent to another planet
and eventually pitted in a fight to save
his home planet
Gohan zark is one that goes from wimpy
to purely badass
[Applause]
number one shinji ikari neon genesis
evangelion why did you send for me you
know why I sent for him so you’re asking
me to take this thing and go out there
and fight correct once again who doesn’t
want to pilot a giant robot well our
number one doesn’t fast for sure Shinji
is a newly transferred student to Tokyo
3 and he arrives at a pretty bad time
the city is under attacked by mysterious
life-forms known as angels and he finds
out that his dad didn’t exactly ship him
in for some bonding time but solely so
he can pilot unit oh one combine
sleepless nights daddy issues and a
traumatizing series of battles and you
have a main character who really really
doesn’t want to get in that robot
