Enjoy! Afuro – Afro Samurai

enjoy afro afro samurai scariest anime characters of all time

Well, not really spooky or scary looking, but I still wouldn’t want to run into this dark anime character on a dark, windy night on a grassy hill with my sword drawn.

Afro, the former “Number Two,” is on a quest to find the guy who took the life of his father to become “Number One.” Afro has been practicing swordsmanship since he was a boy, usually wielding his sword with his right hand while his left holds onto his sheath, but during his fight with Jinno, he used both hands to compensate for Jinno’s dual-wielding speed. He is a very quiet person, probably because his life as “Number Two” prevents him from having personal relationships; thus, he says little, if anything, when approached.

Despite his frigid exterior, Afro, like his father, is “sensitive inside.” He likes lemonade.

Kaoru is a big, muscular kid for his age. His face is scarred, and he has black hair. Kaoru also has a complete back tattoo named “Standing Man” in remembrance of the guy who saved their ancestor.

Kaoru is almost always in his white suit and glasses while not fighting. The tie is purple (later white). A couple of gunshots slammed into Hanayama’s lips caused him to erupt, leaving two enormous wounds on his face and exposing part of his jaw muscles.

Let’s be honest; a flying cockroach is a terrifying thing. Now imagine a humanoid cockroach. These creatures are by far the scariest character in anime. I was fine with the manga, but when I saw them moving in the anime adaptation, I withdrew my involvement on the mission to Mars.

The Terraformars are anthropomorphic Martian cockroaches. They resemble Homo erectus in appearance.

They are versatile and driven by survival. They are cockroach descendants with an inherent antipathy towards humans. There are various sorts, and their behavior varies based on the individual, but they usually maintain a neutral expression. They don’t seem to have much of a ure, but they do lead their brethren into a fighting force. They have a sense of camaraderie when an Invoker is around, yet they are as attached to their parents as a roadside flower. They also appear intelligent. Because Terraformars can’t sense pain or tiredness, they’re prone to working themselves to . These things only aid an Evolved Terraformar’s project.

When going after humans, they prioritize. Anyone holding something gets picked first (weapons). Then there are the ones who are alone. The third is any injured person, and the fourth are females.
