Spoilers, spoilers, and more spoilers so read at your own risk
There's nothing more shocking than a surprise plot twist that kills off a fan-favorite character. Charapedia asked 10,000 fans which anime death had the biggest impact. It shouldn't surprise you that this list is full of spoilers for over 20 anime series, so keep that in mind before reading any further! It's interesting to note that men and women were pretty divided on their choices outside of the top four, with some characters' votes relying heavily on one demographic over the other.
