Ode to Side Caharcetrs

They appear only for one chapter/episode/level. Their moments are so far and in between, that you can count them on a single hand. Yet whenever they show up, you can't hold yourself, because, "Wow! They are back!" They are more interesting than the main characters, or more powerful, or more enjoyable. Their stories might be just as exciting to see, but they are not the focus. Which are your favourite side characters, which you would have loved to see more of?

While I can't complain about lack of screentime for Mastema (all of his fight have been amazing, especially the first one), Uriel could have used a bit more appearances. After his big plot twist was revealed, he had exactly two appearances where he wasn't a prop at the background. And while he didn't die without a very flashy fight, his character left a lot of things unrevealed.


Well, what side character do you want to see in a leading role the most?

Hmm. I can think of a fair few secondary characters I feel that way about, but not many SUPER side characters....

Kimiguku from Hakuoki. She's this quiet, low-born demon ninja bodyguard from a sexist, stratified society, and I was always curious to know what was going on in her head.

The quiet characters always make me want to know more about them.

Yes, same!
