Nina Einstein is a character who initially is shy but transforms into a terrifying figure. One of the main factors of her hatred is her blatant racism towards certain races, especially the Japanese.

In a state of distress and obsession, she created and used the mass destruction weapon FLEIJA solely out of personal revenge, resulting in devastation and mass death.

7. Makoto Ito - School Days

Makoto Ito is the male protagonist who is hated for his extremely indecisive nature, disloyalty, and is essentially a cowardly playboy. In his pursuit of love, he is unable to make up his mind about his feelings and ultimately dates and sleeps with many girls, including Kotonoha Katsura and Sekai Saionji, hurting them all. His character flaws, lack of responsibility, and infidelity infuriate fans, leading to one of the darkest and most iconic endings in anime history.

The eldest princess of the Melromarc Kingdom is known as the most manipulative and cunning character. Malty incites hatred among viewers when she slanders and betrays Naofumi Iwatani, the Shield Hero, immediately after he is summoned to another world. She steals all of Naofumi's belongings and accuses him of sexual assault, causing Naofumi to be ostracized and hated by the entire kingdom. Her malicious behavior, driven by nothing but pleasure, earns her a highly contemptible nickname from fans.

9. Sakura Haruno - Naruto

Sakura Haruno is often the target of criticism from fans of 'Naruto', especially in the early era of the series. The main reason for the hatred is the perception that she is weak and a burden to Team 7 (Naruto and Sasuke). She is also frequently criticized for being too obsessed with Sasuke, which is seen as neglecting Naruto. Although her character undergoes significant development to become a strong medical ninja in Shippuden, the stigma of being useless and her emotional nature in the early story still lingers in the minds of many fans.

10. Kikyo - Inuyasha

The hatred towards Kikyo largely stems from her role in the complicated love triangle with Inuyasha and Kagome. Her return after being resurrected creates long and seemingly unnecessary emotional drama for many fans, as she continues to obstruct the relationship between the main protagonists. Many fans felt relieved when her storyline came to an end.
