10. Karin(the only red-head uzumaki left with potential uzumaki powers) yet get underdevelopment and only treated as sasuke's random fangirl 

9. Quicksilver from Marvel.

He is always overshadowed by his own sister Scarlet witch at comics,get killed off way too easily in MCU and only has major appearance in fox's x men movies

8.Tsumugu from Kill la Kill. He comes in as this badass who isn't afraid of fighting as a naked Nudist and was giving Ryuko a brutal encounter battle. By the end of the series and in the OVA, he's completely irrelevant and became into a laughingstock 

7.Lisanna, she's the sister of Mira and she has potential to be as strong as her but...yeah she's utter useless at so many times

6.Serena from Pokemon anime 

She has no reason to exist other than Ash. She easily ranks as the worst companion at barley does anything in general,had like three lower level Pokemon and only did by swoon over Ash in a "relationship" the show will never allow.

5. Most of cast from Akame Gal Kill isn't Tatsumi

since most of them are either killed off quickly or seem like one dimensional backgrounds.  

4. King Cold from DBZ.

he has the potential to became into a major foe for z fighters but was killed off as fodder for Future Trunks and never return ever again like Bardock does for spinoff as legendary Super Saiyan or Timebreaker state. 

3. Zoe from Digimon series

she was like only female member of Digimon frontier group with two female humanoid forms until Zoe/Kazemon became into damsel in distress even for low-tier cannon fodder enemies,lost the power for a while and given up spirit form for two Gary Sues against the villains.

2. Literally most of characters from bleach. Kubo just introduces so many goddamned characters that he completely forgets about 90% of them.

even to the point of someone like Nel who just completely vanished for hundreds of chapters

1. Every single New God isn't Darkseid from dc comics.

All of them like Orion,Big Barda,Mister Miracle and so many more has usable powers,some decent feats & etc from older days until lately it just Darkseid as ultimate badass while others are just there as fodders.

For me, the most wasted potential in Akame ga Kill was Tatsumi and Leone not getting together.

Don't forget Yuzu Hiragi (known as Zuzu Boyle in the dub) from Yugioh Arc-V. She started off as a pretty skilled Duelist and then became a damsel for the rest of the series. Same here for her dimensional counterparts.

I agree with you on Akame Ga Kil the cast having wasted potential as characters, as someone who has watched the anime and had read the Manga i feel like most of characters we never got to see much out and they were just there. The 4 biggest examples are Akame who only gets relevance after Tatsumi was incapacitated/killed besides being a badass and a desire to kill her sister with a mercy death, Chesela who was killed literally episodes after she was introduced and was one of the most interesting characters introduced, Susanoo as we since he was literally a 1000 year old living weapon that could have been used to shows some back story on the origins of the Imperial Arms and what was the first emperor. And finally there's the most hated character Seryu has 3 things wrong with her a character who could have been shown that even Night Raid's Targets had loved ones and could have been an anti hero was instead made to be badshit insane (My guess is so that Esdeath who tortures her victims and spread seeds for furthur conflict, and Kurome who turns her love ones into mindless puppets just so they can't leave her side look sympathetic in comparison) being the worst offender of not having a fully fledged backstory, and was killed off before the Wild Hunt Arc where could have some character development

I hope this anime gets a proper reboot where these problems can be fixed even if I have to be the one to do it

True and Akame gal kill has a very large potential for it's cast of creative characters

I see the anime itself has a lump of coal if given the right tools, the the propers steps were taken, and the under the super vision a Diamond underneath, I believed that Takahiro introduced an anime is one of the darkest shounen jump animes to date, and I like how it dosen't shy away from showing how gruesome characters were killed (Hell just first episode we saw one of Tatsumi's childhood friends brutally tortured to death) But as a Manga Author I consider him a failure

I have a dream of running a company that running a company that specializes in different kinds of animations whether is a looney tunes style animation, or an anime. I want to not only create new animations that people are sure to enjoy, but also reboot old franchises that while had interesting ideas but needed improvements. I admire Rooster Teeth because of their abilty to change from a 3D Anime, to a western cartoon, to a Machinima. 

I don't wish to do reboots that much since I want to be more known for the new stuff as well, If there are at least 2 or 3 franchises that I would like to do a reboot of it's Akame Ga Kill, Familar Zero and Bleach. (Though I would definatly have to reboot the first 2 first since Bleach would be more difficult to obtain permission to do a reboot of)

Ruyc [2017-07-22 19:15:25 +0000 UTC]

Is so sad to see how Quicksilver was killed, specially after some scenes he had as Avenger, helping the X-men, his relationship with Chrystal with all the problems, and his appearances in Son of M and Silent War
Another character is Darth Maul, he would have been a much better character is he was the main villain of the Star Wars prequel trilogy like a certain famous fellow in the original trilogy.

Well, the ONE reason Pietro got the short end in Age of Ultron was because of Whedon's tendency of wanting to kill off a char.

I mean, no matter how much or how little potential characters have, it's up to the viewers to decide what could happen to them if they were written a different way. I've came up with tons of shifts in the characters of how different, yet, are still kinda the same, they are if they were written better.
