for this list we're focusing on series
that ranked high on Google Trends and
will generate a lot of search traffic
through our tags also we're talking
about anime characters who betrayed
other anime characters either by saying
they do something and then doing
something else or doing something bad
when someone else trusted them and
because we wouldn't have to explain what
a betrayal is if you guys were smart
we're just gonna warn you now that this
list of unexpected events in anime
contains spoilers number 10 Vegeta
becomes Majin Vegeta Dragon Ball Z talk
about an inferiority complex
after Vegeta spent years making earth
his home building a family there and
defending it from evil he turns back to
the dark side because he's still
obsessed with beating Goku selling his
soul to an evil space wizard for more
power and even going so far as to kill
civilians and almost his own family to
go to his rival into one more fight at
first it seems like a case of mind
control which would disqualify it based
on our arbitrary rules for this list but
then Vegeta reveals that he
intentionally allowed poverty to control
him so that he could become stronger and
fight Goku putting not just his family
but the entire world at risk for the
sake of his ego Vegeta's betrayal is
what causes majin buu to be reawakened
and the real kicker is that even after
all of that the best he can do is fight
Goku to a draw
fortunately Vegeta comes back to the
side of good before too long
helping the Z fighters save the world
many times and growing a pretty sick dad
mustache which we think looks better
than that dumb em tattoo any day of the
week
starts with the C is G's number nine
Zucco betrays zero Avatar The Last
Airbender book - speaking of villains
turning good avatars Prince Zuko is no
stranger to treason his betrayal of Fire
Lord Ozai to help on learn firebending
is a key factor in stopping the
hundred-year war and saving the world
but it's not quite as shocking literally
as his betrayal of uncle arrow and on
during the finale of book 2 what makes
this betrayal work so well is the way
the story sets us up to expect the
opposite throughout book 2 we see Zuko
struggling with his inner demons and
becoming a better person Katara is
beginning to trust him and his uncle aro
expects him to help save the world the
season's final battle against his sister
zulo is the perfect stage for his
redemption to azula's coup threatens to
be the downfall of the entire earth
Kingdom and only Zuko can stop her but
at the end of the day he just isn't
ready at the last minute he gives in to
temptation helping Azula nearly killed
the avatar and overthrow the earth King
and sending his beloved uncle to prison
luckily for our heroes and the world
when he turns good a second time it
actually sticks who are you and what do
you want
number eight aldnoah zero betrays its
audience all Noah's ero aldnoah zero is
a story full of betrayals most of which
involves slain Troy Yard who just cannot
catch a break
but the biggest betrayal came when the
anime revealed itself to be an
irredeemable pile of garbage that wasted
everybody's time we are stretching the
rules a bit here but I think you'll
agree that there are a few betrayals in
anime more stinging than the reveal that
everyone we thought died in the tragic
finale of season 1 actually conveniently
lived and that everything the heroes did
in that final episode basically
accomplished nothing this was of course
a brilliant move from the animes
creators because anime that let us see
other people get betrayed are a dime a
dozen but feeling actual betrayal
ourselves that's a stroke of genius the
kind of thing only a brilliant writer
like general Buchi could come up with
number 7 char kills garma Mobile Suit
Gundam char aznable is the mysterious
ace pilot of the Principality of Zeon a
group of space colonies that demands
freedom from earthling rule using his
signature red Zaku he kills countless
Earth Federation soldiers and doggedly
pursue series protagonist Amuro ray
hoping to capture Earth's powerful
secret weapon the Gundam seemingly a
loyal soldier of Zeon char reveals his
true colors when he leads his best
friend garma zabi into an Earth
Federation ambush resulting in his death
this event sent shockwaves through the
entire Gundam universe but it's just the
first step in chars master plan to exact
revenge on the entire Xabi family for
killing his real father zeon zum deikun
and usurping control of the republic he
created the death of garma is one of the
most iconic and important moments in
Gundam history and anime history in
general and has been referenced and
alluded to countless times and sequels
spin-offs and other series you'd have to
be some kind of hack who knows literally
nothing about anime to make a list of
anime betrayals and not include this one
minou it's too they got you can I know
they'll number six Snape kills
Dumbledore Harry Potter and the
half-blood Prince fans of the Harry
Potter anime had an uneasy relationship
with Severus Snape the potions professor
never came off as the friendliest guy in
the world but his loyalty to Dumbledore
and Hogwarts was never in question at
least not after all the times that Harry
questioned it and turned out to be wrong
but all those false starts only made it
all the more surprising when Snape
finally did commit his he'll turn
stepping in when Draco Malfoy couldn't
bring himself to murder Dumbledore and
doing the deed himself his use of the
killing curse to destroy the beloved
Hogwarts headmaster marks a tonal shift
for the Harry Potter franchise telling
us that as dark as it's gotten the final
movie will get even darker of course
it's later revealed that Snape was a
double agent and his supposed betrayal
was all part of Dumbledore's grand plan
to stop Valda bored which is why this
entry didn't make it further up on the
list
Avada Kedavra
number five Giga k-- for got about watch
MOBA auntie tuber rewind 2017 gig ik the
star of the popular YouTube anime of the
same name seemed to be your typical
shown and protagonist all about doing
good and making the world a better place
with the power of friendship but in
episode 153 a knee tube rewind he
revealed himself to be the villain he
really is by giving a giant middle
finger to watch MOBA that's really the
only way to describe this affront this
betrayal this indignity despite the fact
that watch MOBA has over 10 million
subscribers despite the fact that we're
technically the most popular anime
channel on YouTube we were ignored
snubbed left out in the cold the only
way that he could forget our
intentionally forgettable content is if
he was trying to personally stick a big
middle finger in our faces it's the only
explanation not cool dude ik not cool
number 4 Himura ruins everything
well ammaji Madoka Magica the movie
rebellion you couldn't exactly say that
Madoka Magica had a happy ending but at
least it ended on a happier note than it
began with Madoka finally becoming a
magical girl and using her wish to stop
all the other magical girls from ever
transforming into witches but then Akemi
Himura had to go and screw it all up
turning into a witch herself and
trapping all of her friends in a
nightmare parallel world ultimately she
turns into a demon and traps Madoka me
on earth undoing all of the good that
she'd done in protecting magical girls
from corruption but hey at least she did
it out of love
right number 3 Arcada and eyepatch wolf
chickened out a neat uber rap challenge
2017 super eyepatch wolf and Arcada of
glass reflection are two of the biggest
voices in the anime community and two of
the biggest chickens after I the whitest
guy on the planet poured literally hours
into creating my affront to hip hop for
the 2017 anni tuber rap challenge they
didn't even respond to me tagging them
guys if I can do it anyone can
come on we still have a few months
before the 2018 cipher inevitably gets
released so step up send pies
you're a bunch of goddamn cowards come
on you can do this
get in that rap battle number two Sophie
Martinez destroys the world end of
quarry we don't normally include
unreleased or unfinished media in our
lists but this betrayal featured in the
leaked script of Hideaki on OHS
unfinished masterpiece end of quarry is
too brilliant not to include after two
seasons masquerading as the president's
innocent daughter Sophie Martinez would
have revealed herself as the wicked
snake goddess and led her secret
reptilian army to overthrow America with
clues planted in almost every episode of
the series this twist was anticipated by
fans but the full scope and scale of it
exceeded all expectations
Sophie's plotting turned out to be the
cause of every problem faced by the
heroes throughout the series but it goes
even deeper than that at the end of the
movie it would have been revealed that
she was actually a puppet working for
none other than Corey himself who
travelled back in time to prevent
himself from saving America because the
pressure of being the awesomest guy ever
was just too much for him to handle
truly a plot twist for the ages before
we get to our number one spot
we're padding this video out to 10
minutes in length with these runners-up
number one when I was 12 a girl borrowed
my anime DVD and never gave it back
Jeff's childhood mm for some betrayals
sting harder than others and I think
that literally everyone in the anime
community felt shocked and horrified
when I lent my dot hack infection bonus
OVA DVD to a girl at my library's anime
club and instead of giving it back she
lost it
Majin vegeta may have killed some
innocent people and homer amay have
doomed all of reality but i don't think
anyone will disagree that this is evil
on a whole other level to take someone's
generosity and kindness and just throw
it back in their face like that
destroying a collector's set valued at
over $20 in the process it's nothing
short of despicable after a betrayal
like that it can seem impossible to ever
trust again you might distance yourself
from all of humanity and create a
depersonalized youtube channel where you
send out on contentious opinions for
people to agree with and give you money
just to cope with the feelings do you
