It may be a little late but Happy Fathers Day to all Fathers out there. You'll are the best. This year's celebration may not be the same as before because of this pandemic but still, I hope you enjoy your day. And for this article why not lets look for the worst father in anime history. These are the dads that everyone hates and I'm sure you will despise them too. What they did is the worst thing a parent should do. So here it is.
Ging Freecss from "Hunter x Hunter"
This man left his little son to his cousin and never went home to visit him at least once. He is so selfish and only do adventure for fun. Gon is the one who finds him instead even though it is dangerous knowing that Ging is a high ranked hunter. But what makes him worst is the time that Gon was hospitalised and on the brink of death. But Ging didn't even took a visit. He may not be like the others who did very outrageous thing, but he is still selfish that makes him a worst father.
Charles Zi Britannia from "Code Geass"
Ging may be selfish but he still loves Gon. But this man is a pure evil. He only see his children as a collectible items. If there is weak among them, he throws them away. That's the reason why they made a rebellion against him because of his arrogant nobility attitude. You really want to see him dead by the hands of his child because of his sickening philosophy. And don't worry it actually happened. One of the worst father you'll ever seen.
Shou Tucker from "Fullmetal Alchemist"
If the other is evil, then Shou Tucker is a monster. The worst among the worst and I truely hate him. This man makes his daughter into a chimera by combining her and the dog. That scene will never be forgotten and the anger I felt on this man is immeasurable. I thought he is a good man at first because of his quiet personality. But you can't really judge a person. What he did to his daughter is unforgivable. Truely the worst dad out in anime.
Enji 'Endeavour' Todoroki from "My Hero Academia"
He may be the Top 2 hero but because if his obsession on being the Top, he want to make his Heir the best. He even married just to make it happen. And that's where Shoto came. He saw potential on Shoto but at the cost of overlooking on his other children and abuse to his wife that led her to burn Shoto face. He may look like a father that only wants his son to be the best but his method and ideology is just unacceptable.
Son Goku from "Dragon Ball"
I still don't know why they make Goku a father. Even the sole idea of marrying is a joke so what else can you expect him to be a father. He is a musclehead and selfish man who only know how to fight. But what makes him the worst father is the way how he drags his son into the battle. Who in the world a father want his son to face constant danger. Remember the Cell saga where he let Gohan fight the monster named Cell. It was the worst possible decision a father should made. He doesn't even have a time for Goten. I don't know if he is just a dumb but when it comes to being a father, I would rather choose Vegeta over Goku.
Paul Greyrat from "Mushoku Tensei"
If you've watched the anime, I'm sure you probably know why he deserve to be called worst dad. He have an affair to their maid which is immoral and bad influence to his son (if he is just normal). And not just that but later in the manga he is a coward and a scum. He punch his own son and he didn't even find his lost family. But rather he gave up and live his life being a scum. I'm very disappointed in him because I even find him cool at first. But at the end, he's the worst.
Kagemitsu Daigo from "Dororo"
This guy is a literal monster. He offered his son's life to the demon in exchange for a prosperous life. It leaves the child in a sorry state but he ordered his man to dispose it. Thankfully his son miraculously survived and now he seeks revenge to his father who makes him a being right now. What happened to his father is just a karma for being a monster who can sell his own son for a prosperous life.
Rasa of the Sand from "Naruto"
Rasa is the father of Gaara and the person who who makes him a Jinchuriki. But that's not the reason why he become the worst dad. He push Gaara away and that leads him to be a killer because he can't control his power. Instead of supporting him, he even driven him to corner alone with his hand stained by blood for the deeds he never wants. He even made an order to kill Gaara. It is a shame though cause Rasa is a powerful shinobi and if he just give Gaara the love and support he needs, they can be a happy family.
This dads is just an example of a worst father you can ever have. So if your father is not like them, be thankful enough and give them a simple Thank You they deserve. It only shows how anime can be realistic and sometimes it make sense. So here it is for today and Happy Fathers Day.
I love the Goku take! Vegeta is a far better father :D
