Pain & sufferings are the hardest to endure which can traumatise a person for his or her lifetime. Not everyone is capable enough to pass through such a mental & physical torcher, some collapse while some fight hard and there are some well-known anime characters who suffered the most during their lifetime.

Life isn’t easy and the same goes for anime characters who struggle hard to be a better version of themselves. But, not everyone’s life is the same as some characters have experienced the most painful and worst lives. These characters have suffered immensely, whether it’s losing their loved ones, enduring torture, being betrayed, or even worse.

And, in this article, we’ll take a look at some of these anime characters who have suffered physical & emotional trauma at different stages of life. Number ten on the list is Meliodas from The Seven Deadly Sins. Meliodas has felt the pain of losing a loved one and a repetitive cycle of not being able to save his love triggered his inner demon.

Below is the complete list of the top 10 anime characters who suffered the most:

#10 Meliodas from ‘The Seven Deadly Sins’

#9 Ash Lynx from ‘Banana Fish’

#8 Levi Ackerman from ‘Attack On Titan’

#7 Rintaro Okabe from ‘Steins;Gate’

#6 Itachi Uchiha from ‘Naruto’

#5 Shinji Ikari from ‘Neon Genesis Evangelion’

#4 Ken Kaneki from ‘Tokyo Ghoul’

#3 Natsuki Subaru from ‘Re:Zero’

#2 Hyakkimaru from ‘Dororo’

#1 Guts from ‘Berserk’

Out of all the characters, Guts have gone through the worst phase and his life has been total hell. The soul of Guts never found peace as he was born from the corpse of her mother. At the age of three, he saw his mother figure die in front of his eyes. Everyone treated him like a “cursed child” and blamed him to be the reason for her death.

Guts was physically tortured due to gruesome training at the young age of six. His own foster father betrayed him and sold him to some guy for just 3 silver coins, and the same night he got raped too. He was just a nine-year-old when this cruelty happened to him. His sufferings are far more painful and heart-piercing than any other character out there.
