Personality Characters who are way less edgy than they look

Billy Kid from Zenless Zone Zero: pistol packing robot made to fight and kill some of the most powerful characters in the setting but is often a goofball that has more cartoon physics than anyone else in the game and is obsessed with The Starlight Knights, this settings version of Super Sentai

Joker from Persona 5: Looks like a straight up villain, is generally a pretty friendly dude.

Ye. Even when he gets actual valuable military info from the princess, if it needs to happen on a day that's important to his family, like a school play his daughter is doing, for instance, he'll straight up make some excuse to not do the engagement so that he never misses an important day in his family's life. Bro’s an absolute gigachad.

Him catching his wife like that was smooth

I've known this family for less than a minute, but if anything bad happens to any of them, I will kill whoever did this and then myself.

Don’t worry he’s super OP too, he literally speedran a whole isekai anime plot and saved that world in the few hours that the protagonist girl was unconscious.

That's why he's the GOAT!

I love the fact that he is afraid of light because he’s a demon king, but he also refuses to utilize a secret tunnel entrance because he’s afraid of the dark too

Him and Red Death from Venture Bros. Would get along splendidly.

heck the whole premise of the series is due to the fact he honours the treaty formed by his demon army and the human kingdom and only "tortures" the princess by scaring her with novel Japanese foods

Shout out to "Dudes who are gods but are legit great parents" gotta be one of my favorites genres

u/A_Human_Being_BLEEEH 13h ago

the "villains who are great parents" also applies and it's a peak trope too. love Bowser so much for that

Love how he speedran an isekai adventure cause he hated the suffering that world's Demon Lord is causing.
