He possesses a myriad of favorable traits and can easily overwhelm individuals with his seemingly flawless nature, as seen with Hans Georg Schuwald, who describes him as being not of this world.
This meticulously crafted facade makes it easy for him to make new allies and manipulate them into doing various deeds for him through the influence of his supposed friendship and good will.
With such skill in creating this sense of perfection and pureness, Johan hides his true motives with ease.
19. Akame From Akame ga Kill!
Akame appears to be a very serious and cold-hearted anime assassin which stems from her hellish training that the Empire forced her and her sister through, but it is eventually revealed that she is just socially awkward.
She cares about her comrades very much and she is always worried that one of them may not make it out alive due to her first-hand experience that war always has a high mortality rate.
She also tends to hide her emotions when it is revealed that a comrade dies, such as seen with Sheele, making Tatsumi mistakenly and incorrectly assume that she deals with it easily, because she is used to it.
18. Suzuya Juuzou From Tokyo Ghoul
As a child, Suzuya’s personality was somewhat normal, albeit a tad twisted, but as a result of Big Madam’s treatment. He no longer felt fear, pain, nor did he have any morals. Yukinori Shinohara, his mentor, described him as a “problem child”.
Despite his childish and playful demeanor, he was also extremely violent and highly disturbed. He usually described his killing methods to be clean, without needless movements, which is a skill he seemed to take pride in as an anime assassin.
He shows no hesitation to kill someone. He even goes as far as to consider it a part of daily life, and lacks awareness of death’s weight.
17. Death Gun From Sword Art Online: Phantom Bullet
Death Gun made his first appearance in the first episode of Sword Art Online II, in a VRMMORPG known as Gun Gale Online.
As a top ranked player named XeXeeD appears on a streamed broadcast via his avatar, “Death Gun” fires a bullet at XeXeeD’s avatar through a video screen, causing XeXeeD to suddenly convulse and disconnect.

16. Minene Uryuu From Future Diary
Minene considers herself a survivor first and foremost, a belief reflected by her Escape Diary.
Before it became her Future Diary, Minene’s Escape Diary was a regular diary that she used to write down all the possible escape routes in whichever area she was planning to attack.

After spending her childhood and teenage years alone without love or guidance, Minene believes she does not need anyone else in her life to help her.
15. Motoko Kusanagi From Ghost in the Shell
Major Motoko Kusanagi is the main protagonist and anime assassin in Masamune Shirow’s anime and manga series.

Motoko’s body is one of the most advanced models on the market, possessing 16²/cm² skin tactile elements, meaning she has a greatly heightened sense of touch.
14. Hei From Darker Than Black
Hei is a calculating anime assassin. Unusually for a Contractor, Hei exhibits and sometimes acts upon emotions. Hei also has a huge appetite, often surprising people with the amount he can eat.
Despite having the power of a Contractor, Hei still has his human emotions. He deeply cares for his sister, Bai, and searches for her after her disappearance.
Hei reverts back to his previous attitude showing his care for Yin, while also developing feelings of care toward Suou.
13. The Scarred Man From Fullmetal Alchemist
Scar is an anime assassin and a survivor of the genocide campaign during the Ishvalan Rebellion. While fighting a State Alchemist named Solf J. Kimblee in the midst of the conflict, Scar lost his right arm as well as his family.
With the last of his strength, his brother had attached his own arm, by means of alchemy, to Scar.
Even if Scar wanted to finally break the Ishvalan teaching and perform transmutation alchemy, he cannot because his right arm is only designed for destroying.
12. Satō From Ajin
Sato is shown to be a calm and cheerful anime assassin on the outside as he’s able to make people feel calm in his presence.
However, beneath this facade is a sinister persona of his – he is merciless when it comes to killing others and he often finds it fun to cause destruction and kill people (whether they’re innocent or not).
He was like this even as a kid when he killed many animals. And when his father beat him as punishment for it, he displayed no sense of guilt and expressed puzzlement on the concept of love and other emotions.
This shows that Sato was already sociopath before he killed people.
11. Thorfinn From Vinland Saga

10. Kotomine Kirei & Assassin From Fate/stay night & Fate/Zero
Unknown to all those around him, Kirei was born defective, possessing a warped mind since birth. He is an evil anime assassin, but not a villain. He is deviant, but not inhuman. Despite his personal accomplishments, he never felt satisfaction.
Despite his best efforts he could not enjoy what other people found happiness in, and instead found himself drawn to negative emotions like the pain of others.
He is able to act like a normal person, even bringing pride to his father, but he intrinsically does not feel the same happiness others do.
He is very similar to Shirou in that he is a void human being without a clear sense of self, and can be called the opposite extreme of Shirou.
9. Himura Kenshin From Rurouni Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal
Soft-spoken, serene and humble, this anime assassin got it all Himura Kenshin’s usual demeanor suits his effeminate appearance perfectly.
Always willing to put others before himself, both in terms of well-being and social standing, Kenshin usually refers to others with the noble honorific of “-dono” while nearly always speaking of himself with the particularly humble pronoun “sessha” and ending his phrases with the formal verb “de gozaru“.
He carries himself with an air of amicable temperance, politely conversing with the people he encounters and freely giving his meager services to those who need a hand.
8. Levi Ackerman From Attack on Titan
Levi is described as a “clean freak” by those who know him personally as he prefers his environment and himself to be spotlessly clean anime assassin.

However, he will not hesitate to touch filth if he deems it necessary.
7. Shiki Ryougi From The Garden of Sinners (Kara no Kyoukai)
Children born into the anime assassin Ryougi family are generally male and are artificially induced with dual personalities, but Kaname was unable to manifest a second personality of his own.
Shiki was confirmed to display the trait instead and was raised as the family head in his place, displaying the personalities of SHIKI, a male personality customarily called the “yang” personality, and Shiki, the female personality called the “yin” personality.
It is not the result of Dissociative Identity Disorder even though it is a dual personality, so it is more a matter of whose actions take priority.
6. Alucard From Hellsing
Alucard fights with ferocity, and often extreme cruelty, rarely shooting to kill until his target has been completely disabled and humiliated.
However, he does have some humanity left in him, as he is still capable of shedding tears and showing affection for those who are dear to him, taken by Alexander Anderson to mean that he is not completely lost anime assassin. As he is essentially immortal and invulnerable, Alucard is very egotistical.
He freely taunts and belittles his opponents, often allowing them to inflict seemingly fatal wounds before healing himself and counterattacking.
One of his favorite methods of fighting is to allow himself to be blown to shreds before simply flowing back together. An example is shown in volume 2 when Alucard fights Luke Valentine.
5. Lelouch vi Britannia From Code Geass
Lelouch is a highly intelligent anime assassin who is also calm, sophisticated, and arrogant due to his aristocratic upbringing. While at school, Lelouch conducts himself as a sociable, likable, and often easygoing student.
However, this is really a mask to hide his true nature. While as Zero his true nature is expressed. His charisma and beliefs in justice gain him the trust and respect of many soldiers and leaders.
Lelouch is known for having a very stoic personality. He never cared about schoolwork, seeing the entire thing as trivial, even though his high intelligence would make it easy for him.

He is most commonly known for having a sweet tooth; he loves everything sweet and spent almost 200 million on snacks when he was at the Heavens Arena.
He is also one of the quickest-thinking characters and often analyzes a situation with great ease and accuracy. In spite of his young age, his way of thinking, knowledge, and pragmatism give him the attitude of an adult.
1. Korosensei From Assassination Classroom
It was revealed that he was raised in an environment “where everybody could easily betray one another to the point that one could only trust oneself”.
Through these hardships, he decided to become an assassin in order to survive. Despite gaining an apprentice, he only saw him as a tool for his goals, which drove the latter to finally betray his master.
However, after meeting Aguri Yukimura, he finally knew what compassion really was–becoming much more kind and compassionate.
According to Aguri, if he was born in a peaceful country, his personality would be “someone a little perverted, with a good head but a few screws loose, petty about small things, and also very stubborn.”
