[quote name='Bloodseeker']Usagi has a romance with a dork that thinks that he's cool when he wears a ballroom suit and cape and starts throwing roses at people. (worst "cool" gimmick ever) She obviously doesn't know or doesn't care what "cool" means.[/quote]

[color=darkviolet]Keh, [i] as if[/i] I meant that dork. I sincerly wish Tuxedo baka would imaple himself on his damn cane! I meant the senshi and the StarLights, especially Haruka and Rei.

But you are right that USagi really doesn't know what cool is, the only cool thing she ever did was let SailorUranus/Haruka kiss her when she was dressed like Tuxedo Kamen and [i]that[/i] was only in the manga.[/color]

[color=#503f86]I don't think [b]Kazu[/b] or [b]Kenta[/b] from the Digimon Tamers series had any purpose whatsoever, except to annoy me. I think much better time could have been spent on some of the other characters (Ryo, perhaps) rather than poor comic relief. But it's not even as if they were integral to the main events of the storyline anyway. Although I suppose you do need some characters who just move the incidental scenes along. I just wish they'd been a bit... nicer, really.

Along similar lines, it probably wouldn't have made any difference if Armadillomon was in Digimon Adventure 2 or not. But that's something I'm actually annoyed about, cause I like him. He must have had the least screentime out of all the new digimon and hardly got a chance to do anything else. What a waste of a cute digimon.[/color]

Quote by: ThatOneOddDude

As for Dragonball/z/GT, everyone is pointless. They're just a bunch of worthless, mindless idiots who contribute nothing to the series. Half of them are forgotten and never used. People can even die only to be forgotten about that same day and not even remembered until its dragon time. (doesnt the show end with Krillin dead?)
[/QUOTE]First off, if it wasn't for Dragonball Z, the US really wouldn't know what anime WAS except for those nerds who download the japanese episodes online. And here is a list of characters that were forgotten that did not die:

Android #8
Launch
Android #17 (untill the end of the Buu Saga and during the Super #17 Saga of GT)

Thats all I can remember. And on another note, the only mindless idiot would have to be Goku.

One Character who I think doesn't have a place in an anime is Hercule in Dragonball Z GT and whatever else they may come out with to continue that annoying preteen boy died out series. I mean he has no powers can't fly and relies on Buu to practically fight for him which is hilarious on GT when he has to fight Goku in the World Tournament after Goku is turned into a child by the dark star dragonballs.
[/QUOTE]If it wasn't for Hercule, then Vegeta would have died a second time, Buu would have destroyed Earth without unleashing Evil Buu, and Cell would have destroyed Earth before Buu 'cause Hercule tossed Android #16's head to Gohan. Hercule is not a pointless character. He is just there for comic relief.

While we're on the subject of Dragonball Z, another useless character is Chaoutzu. To my knowledge, the only thing he actually did was try to kill Nappa and failed...miserably. So, basically, his only use is to die.

You know who's really pointless? That spikey haired kid that's always following Murai around in GTO. He almost literally plays no role in any plot progression major or minor. He's just there. Always there. Watching. Waiting. Planning. Only to realize that Onizuka would kick his *** if he tried anything. And that Urumi and Kikuchi would get him if Onizuka didn't. That's why he always kept his mouth shut. Now you know.

i can think of two. anzu(tea) from yugioh, the woman does nothing but spout speeches through out the whole damn series.
the other would be relena peacecraft. gods, i cant stand this girl. all she does through out the tv series is stalk hiro(heero). why didnt you make good on your promise of killing her?

[COLOR=Blue]A character that I believe does not have a purpose in a certain show is Garlic Jr from Dragon Ball Z. As a movie, it was fine, but the writers should definately not have put Garlic Jr Saga into the series because it destroyes GT. :animeangr

Garlic Jr, as most of you would know, can no longer die because of the wish he made to Shenron. By bringing this into the show, the total number of wishes made to the Dragon Balls become [B]8[/B]. However, in GT, the dark dragons come to life because of the negative energy made by the wishes [B]PER BALL[/B]. There are only [B]7[/B] Dragon Balls! Not [B]8[/B]! :mad:

Garlic Jr Saga just destroys the feeling that Dragon Ball/Z/GT could happen in real life (yes, I know it can't) beacuse of a human error :animecry: . That is why I belive that Garlic Jr should have stayed as a movie.[/COLOR] :catgirl:

Useless characters are often disliked, but disliked =/= useless. To quote myself:

[quote name='Bloodseeker']Relena Peacecraft moved along half of the major plot points in Gundam Wing! She was responsible for just about every movement towards peace in the series! That's definitely not a character without a purpose![/quote]

And I don't see any reason to change my view.

As for Tea, she was the one that got Yugi back on his feet after he lost to Kaiba and, along with Tristan and Joey, helped block Yugi's mind from Pegasus. She also had a role to play with the Big Four. Tea isn't uselss.

[quote name='benakittie']AHHH!!! Diana!!! :flaming: From Sailor Moon, the light purplr kitten supposedly Artemis and Luna's kid. AHHHH!!! SHE IS SOOOOO ANNOYING!! IT DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!! :animeangr[/quote]

[SIZE=4][COLOR=SlateGray][FONT=Chiller]I have a sister who watches Sailor Moon.

*If you ask me I believe that the whole show is quite pointless.......*

However I do agree w/ on that one. That purple kitten didn't have to be in there, and that also includes Shippo from inuyasha.[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[quote name='SPARDA62']I vote that an anime character that has no purpose is BOBOBO-BO-BO-BOBO.[/quote]

[size=4][color=slategray][font=chiller]Another pointless manga and show.

The whole idea is rather unusual. A guy with a fro and his sidekick Poppa Rocks (a candy mutant with somewhat human qualities) who exist only to save the very hairs on your head is weird as well as pointless.

The purpose of this show doesn't contribute anything.

Seriously.[/font][/color][/size]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]I think that Keiko in Yu Yu Hakusho has no purpose. All she does is care for that blue bird thing and yell at Yusuke. She really annoys me, and she doesn't mind her own business. I have no idea why she was in that series in the first place. She just didn't fit.[/COLOR] :animesigh

It's funny you should say this, considering that without Keiko, there would be no series in the first place. Think back to the beginning episodes; she's the one who [spoiler]risks everything, including her own life, to protect Yusuke's body and help bring him back. And she had to act on faith alone.[/spoiler] As far as I'm concerned, that's at least as impressive as all the crazy stunts the guys in the show pull.

[COLOR=#656448][SIZE=1]^ Indeed. Her cuteness also helped balance out the legions of aesthetically-challenged characters in the show.

How about Galaxy Angel's [b]Normad[/b]? That mascot's pretty useless, yeah? He does nothing but mouth off useless side-comments, praise Vanilla and get shot in the head. He's easily one of those useless=disliked characters Bloodseeker was talking about.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Gravy Train]Almost any character from Shaman King.

One character was just added so the show wouldn't appear racist.[/QUOTE]
Even though Shaman king is one of my favourites I agree with you there. Even some of the main charecters seem a little pointless. Like Manta just stands around doing nothing except screaming his head off and being kidnapped.
I know everyone's gonna hate me for this but Hilary from beyblade is also very pointless. She helps out a little in the second season but in the third she does nothing except wear short skirts. And I don't only say that because I find her annoying!

[quote name='kyo_sohma_lover']I think that umm jaken doesnt have a purpose in inuyasha what is he used for anyway getting bet up by sesshy and rin[/quote]
I think Shippo has no purpose. He can't fight, he's too small and weak. In my opinion he's just a burden on the group sometimes. i believe jaken's main purpose is nanny to rin when Sesshomaru's busy?

[color=darkviolet] Shippo was added for cuteness factor and to annoy INuYasha. And he can fight... kind of. He uses illusions to protect Kagome- and to annoy INuYasha[/color]
