Random Anime Characters Who Were Betrayed By Someone They Lo (15 items)

  (#8) Kiyomi Takada

  • Death Note, Death Note: The Last Name

  When the person you love is a mass murderer, you should expect that things aren't exactly going to turn out in your favor. But the fact that Kiyomi Takada probably could have seen Light Yagami's betrayal coming with a little forethought doesn't make it less sad.

  At first, Light persuades Kiyomi that he loves her and respects her, and gets her to dedicate her life to being his spokesman and his ally. This is pretty easy for the charismatic Light, since Kiyomi is head over heels in love with him anyway. But after Kiyomi takes down Mello, she finds herself in a situation where she's likely to be captured by the SPK. Rather than risk the SPK acquiring any incriminating evidence through Kiyomi, Light uses the Death Note to get her to burn the scrap of notebook paper she'd written Mello's name on - and burn herself alive in the process.

  Kiyomi is far from the only person Light betrays, but this is a particularly heartbreaking example.

  (#10) Ohgi Kaname's Girlfriend Shoots Him In 'Code Geass'

  Ohgi Kaname, a key member of the Black Knights, comes across Villeta Nu, a Brittainian woman who is loyal to the empire. Normally, the two of them would have been enemies, but because Villeta's memories are temporarily lost, they end up falling in love. 

  When Villeta regains her memories, she quickly reverts to her formerly racist opinion of Japanese people. That's why she shoots him in the stomach and commandeers a Knightmare Frame - all while Ohgi has no idea who she truly is or why the woman he loves would do such a thing.

  Eventually, the two reconnect and fall in love again, but that betrayal is likely to stay with them forever.

  (#5) Gracefield House Is Selling Kids To Hungry Demons In 'The Promised Neverland'

  Isabella, known to the orphans of Gracefield House as Mama, is beloved by all of her children - especially Emma. When they find out that she's secretly selling them off as meat for a race of demons, she feels justifiably betrayed. There's no time to dwell on it too much though - Emma and her friends have to figure out how to escape before they meet the fate that Isabella has in store for them.

  Viewers eventually discover that Isabella isn't doing this because she wants to. She was once in the same situation as Emma was, but instead of being used as demon food, she was offered a position as a Mama who would raise up the next generation of meat.

  (#13) Sailor Moon

  • Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon Super S: The Movie, Sailor Moon S the Movie, Sailor Moon R the Movie: Promise of the Rose, Sailor Moon

  Sometimes, a betrayal can still be heartbreaking even if it isn't the real deal. That's what happens when Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus seemingly betray the rest of the Sailor Scouts by teaming up with their enemy, Sailor Galaxia. Sailor Moon is understandably devastated by this betrayal. 

  The betrayal turns out to be a ruse to help the Scouts defeat Sailor Galaxia, but that plan doesn't work out so well for them - when they reveal to Galaxia where their allegiance truly lies, she destroys them.

  (#11) Kenshin Himura

  • Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal, Director's Cut

  Kenshin Himura's life prior to the start of Runouni Kenshin was a bloody and miserable one. He works as a mercinary, and while he's highly skilled, he's emotionally unsuited for the job. One of the few solaces that he had was his relationship with Tomoe, his first wife.

  What he doesn't realize is that Tomoe was originally married to a man whose life Kenshin ended, and Tomoe only married him so that she could get revenge. 

  Ultimately, she realizes that she truly loves Kenshin, and she tries to call off the assassination attempt she helped to orchestrate, even taking lives herself to protect her husband. But despite her change of heart, it's too late to do anything about it - and Kenshin ends up accidentally eliminating her as he tries to defend his own life.

  After this brutal series of events, Kenshin decides to dedicate himself to a peaceful existence. He doesn't blame Tomoe for attempting to betray him, rather he grieves her loss and regrets his own actions.

  (#6) Sasuke Uchiha

  • Naruto, Naruto Shippūden, Naruto Shippuden the Movie: The Will of Fire, Naruto Shippuden the Movie: Bonds, Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow, Ninja World

  Itachi's betrayal of the Uchiha clan is probably one of the most well-known examples on the list, and for good reason - it's one of the most intense and upsetting things that happens in Naruto. 

  Though he was only thirteen, Itachi was one of the strongest members of his clan - which is how he managed to eliminate them all in a single night. He spared only his little brother Sasuke, telling him that he'd done it to test his power.

  As every Naruto viewer knows, that was a complete and total fabrication. In reality, Itachi was given a terrible choice by Danzo Shimura, the leader of Root. Betray his clan and save himself and his brother Sasuke, or be eliminated along with his family, saving no one. He chose the former, but wanted to encourage Sasuke to seek him out for revenge, so that Sasuke could gain the mangekyo sharingan. 

  The fact that Itachi actually had a good reason only made the betrayal more painful. Later he finds out, it wasn't Itachi who had betrayed him, it was the city where he was born and raised.
