Disney released Big Hero 6 back in 2014 and ever since, it’s been highly popular,
enough to get it’s own cartoon and an appearance in the ever-present Kingdom Hearts. More
recently, on June 29th, 2022, a short, 6-episode show focused on Baymax and his adventures,
quite simply called Baymax! With many shows that have come out recently,
we’re curious who is the best character in the show about slice of life and fun.
I’m Kyle with WickedBinge and this is Baymax!: Good to Most Good
Also, spoilers for Baymax, even though there’s not much content to go over,
it’s still important to point this out, go watch the show on Disney+ first.
With the spoiler warning out of the way,
we can start talking about the characters in our list, these are The Good
The worst character on the list is Mbita, mostly because someone has to be. He is the main
character of the self-titled Episode 4 and later appears in Episode 6 as part of “Little Hero 6”.
Mbita is the owner and runner of the “Just Fish Soup” food truck and apparently a frequent
buyer at the farmer’s market. However, it is found out that he is actually allergic to fish
when Baymax tries to help him. Now, this is the reason he ranks at the very bottom,
because he absolutely hates the idea of Baymax helping him, and he tries to run away.
This causes a lot of chaos as he drives around San Fransokyo like a crazy person and nearly causes a
lot of destruction just to get away from Baymax. Sure, he redeems himself by the end of the episode
but it doesn’t change everything that happened and therefore he sadly has to rank at the very bottom.
Up next on our list is everyone’s favorite fat cat Mochi. Mochi mostly appears during episode 1
and returns from Big Hero 6. Mochi mostly lazes around during the episode although Cass utilizes
him to spy on Baymax as he works in the cafe. Mochi does try to destroy the camera but beyond
that doesn’t do much, he’s mostly a nuisance and not much else. But even Mochi’s nuisance
status isn’t enough to force him any further towards the worse section
of our list, because he’s just doing cat things, as many cats tend to do.
The next character on our list is Ali. Ali only appears in Episode 3 as Sofia’s close friend,
and honestly doesn’t get to do much. They do try and help Sofia when she locks herself in the
bathroom and tries to convince her to come to the talent show, showing they are quite a good friend.
But, Ali has to fall here because that’s really all they do in the episode.
If Ali had more screen time or forbid was mentioned after their appearance
we may have been able to rank them elsewhere but we have to put them here on our list.
Ranking next on our list is Sofia, the main character and patient from Episode 3.
Sofia is a middle-school girl who gets help from Baymax regarding her first period.
She is initially against his help and the fact she got one in the first place because she still wants
to be a kid. She is also shown to be a yo-yo expert, someone who really enjoys her place
as a semi-popular kid and absolutely hates the idea of growing up. Sure,
she locks herself in a bathroom and tries to stop Baymax from helping her,
but like many kids it’s because she’s obsessed with her popularity, but by the end of the
episode she’s gotten that cleared up and helps save Baymax, which is definitely a good thing.
Up next on our list is the man who makes the best apple-sauce, Yukio. Yukio appears
during Episode 4, being one of the many people who works at the farmer’s market,
specifying that he works mostly with apples and applesauce. He allegedly makes the best
applesauce in the farmer’s market and seems to show at least some concern for Mbita,
and by the end he does accept a date with Mbita. He, much like the others is just
kind of there for the most part and doesn’t have a lot of screen time, hence why we can’t
rank him anywhere else, but his concern and genuine personality do carry him a littl ebit.
The next character on our list is Yachi. Yachi is a stray hungry cat that Baymax
tries to help during the fifth episode of the show, Baymax tries to coax a headphone
out of his stomach but Yachi continually ends up poking through Baymax’s body and causing him
to lose air. The cat seems intensely smart, as he understands he is lonely and wants to
have human companionship so much he makes his own fake mouse toy. He is intensely smart,
but he doesn’t end up helping Baymax after he powers down even though it’s implied he could.
However he does get a chance to redeem himself during the show, during Episode
6 where he ends up stopping the demolition company from destroying where Baymax was.
However, we can’t rank him higher than this, because he is indeed a cat that cares very little.
Ranking next on our list is another returning character, Aunt Cass. Cass was a character
who appeared in Big Hero 6 and reoccurs in this episode, initially in episode 1 and then later in
Episode 6. Cass continues to run her cat cafe and it does quite well but she sprains her ankle and
has to be healed. However, this is stopped rather quickly because she is obsessed with her job
and her customers and shows a great connection to them. She even ends up giving Baymax an employee
of the month plaque for his efforts. She is also part of “Little Hero 6” that saves Baymax in
Episode 6, closing her cafe to save him, showing that she’ll do anything for that marshmallowey
robot. She’s really not that bad, sure, she tries to spy on Baymax and hurts herself more because of
how much she cares for her customers, but that’s not really the worst possible thing on this list.
Cass is a really good person no matter how you slice it, but she falls just outside of the top 3.
Bagging the bronze medal of good is Hiro Yamada. Hiro is another character returning from Big Hero
6, being an inventor and college student who looks after Baymax in the post-credits scenes of each
episode. Hiro cares very deeply about continuing his brother’s life work and looks after Baymax
heavily, immediately searching for him once he realizes that Baymax never came home. His
intense smarts also allow him to create a variety of things to make life better, such as Cass’ boot
and the nanobots he uses to help save Baymax. Hiro only ranks here because we’re not including
events from Big Hero 6, because as much as those events of saving the world matter, they’re not
very important in this show. While Big Hero 6 is mentioned and we can infer these events happened,
we won’t be including them because they’re only mentioned at the very end of the last
episode and as such are not nearly as relevant as we would like for them to be put on the list.
Steady taking second place and the silver medal of good is Kiko. Kiko is the main character of the
second episode of the show, who also later appears in episode six. Kiko is an old woman who is scared
of water who Baymax tries to get to live life, especially after the death of her husband. Sure,
initially she landed towards the very bottom of the list,
because she did spend most of her episode trying to kill Baymax. However, by the end of episode six
she was willing to sacrifice her own life for the life of Sofia and Baymax, and obviously,
you all are well aware of how we feel towards self-sacrifice. However, we can’t look past her
killer instinct over a fear of water and a very helpful robot, hence why she only takes silver.
Grabbing the Gold Medal of Good is none other than Baymax. Baymax is the titular
character and one of the most lovable and likeable characters in all of media,
especially recent disney media. Baymax is a personal healthcare companion,
someone who tries to heal any of those around him. He has made plenty of friends along the way
and even discounting what he does in Big Hero 6 he definitely deserves his ranking here. Sure,
he’s sort of chaotic good, a dungeons and dragons term that goodness only comes about through the
actions of an individual. Baymax will do just about anything to heal someone, whether that be
leading them through multiple alleys to face their fear of water or ride on top of their truck to
give them a shot. Baymax is a good boy no matter how you slice it, but sometimes his good can get a
teensy-bit out of hand, which is more than enough of an issue, however, he still grabs gold.
But, here’s the thing, we have some of our famous sinner medals to hand out.
Grabbing our Darwin Medal is Mbita, mostly because instead of listening
to the healthcare robot he decided to drive like a maniac downtown.
Taking our Lust Medal is also Mbita, mostly because he’s the only character
with a romantic subplot in the show, and it does cloud his judgement for the most part.
Taking the Sloth Medal is Mochi, who is a big lazy fat cat who sleeps for most of the day
Our Pride Medal goes to Sofia, who is so caught up in her reputation she hates the idea
she might be growing up.
The Gluttony Medal is going to Aunt Cass, simply because she
is a very food related character and as such sort of falls into this role.
Finally our Wrath Medal belongs to Kiko,
who not only tried to kill Baymax but is definitely a very wrathful little lady.
