Have you ever watched an episode of your favorite anime show and wondered ” I wonder what the show would be like with this side character?” No? Just me? Well I’m about to tell you which secondary characters deserve their own anime shows and what they would be about! Quick note: These are my opinions and based on the anime shows. Any information that has been shared about these characters through their respective mangas is not noted here. This is because I haven’t read them. So again everything is based off what I’ve seen in the anime. Thanks!

First on the list is best boy Shoto Todoroki! There’s no surprise that he is on my list. And yes some of you may be reading and thinking, “we already know about Todoroki”. But do we know all things Todoroki??? No we don’t!

Now I think Todoroki’s show would be centered around him and how he has been building up his family relationships and friendships. Because Todoroki is naturally reserved we could have plenty of mental dialogue as he goes through his day. And since it’s taking forever to have some kind of storyline with Dabi, this show would give us a focused view on what Dabi has against Todoroki. I also definitely think it would be a great idea to give his siblings more screen time. What happens in the everyday for his family, and just how is Endeavor trying to mend his relationships.

Next is Vegeta. Yes, yes I know we’ve seen his character develop from a menacing, egotistical Saiyan to the loving, sacrificing family man. What I think would be interesting is seeing Vegeta grow up on Planet Vegeta. What was his mom like? How did his family become royalty? There’s so much that had to happen for Vegeta to land on Earth and fight Goku. And I know I wasn’t the only one shocked when it was revealed that he was with Bulma, but what about before he left with Frieza? Was he ever involved with someone else? I think there’s so much to be explored that we didn’t get from Akira Toriyama. I mean I think it would be cool to see what happened to Vegeta to make him into the Saiyan we know.

So I love Black Clover(despite all the hate it gets) and one of my favorite characters is Captain of the Black Bulls Yami Sukehiro. This show would be focused on where Yami is originally from and how he landed in Clover. I also would want to see more interactions between him and Vangeance as they spent time on the same Magic Knight Squad. I think it would be cool to see Yami’s parents and the other people from his village. People are wary of Yami because he is “foreign”. I’d love to see how Yami gets his grimoire. And I want to see more of how he chose each of the members on the Black Bulls. We’ve gotten see some of them, but I want more stories and adventures of the Black Bulls pre-Asta.

Genos from One Punch Man is shrouded in mystery, so a show dedicated to him would be one to watch. Where is he from? What was his human life like? There are more questions that need to be answered, but you guys get the point. I think it would be cool to see more daily interactions between Genos and Saitama. This show could also show how he interacts with other members of S class. Maybe even show Genos making a friend or two. I also need to know who is Dr. Kuseno? How is he creating these upgrades for Genos? Genos is a hot-tempered hero who is searching for the crazy cyborg that killed his family. I’d love to watch why Dr. Kuseno was chasing the crazy cyborg to Genos’ village. There’s some information that’s not being shared and I want to know how much Dr. Kuseno knows.

So I wanted to include one anti-hero/villain on this list. And honestly who better to include than Hisoka Morow from Hunter x Hunter. This show would probably be in more of the mature nature, as we know Hisoka is one of “those” characters haha. Still I have to wonder what Hisoka was like before we met him on Gon’s quest to become a Hunter. I would love to see how he spent his time developing his Bungee Gum techniques. And you have to wonder was Hisoka always alone? What happened to his family? So much mystery behind Hisoka. Not to mention what was Hisoka doing throughout the whole Chimera Ant arc? I would have loved seeing him take down a few of those Ants. And can we talk about music?? Hisoka would have the best anime music by far, especially with his iconic theme song.

These are the secondary characters I believe should have their own anime. Let me know who you would watch in the comments! Be sure to follow on Instagram and be on the lookout for new content coming soon! Peace!
