Kaname Asagiri

Kaname Asagiri is a major antagonist of the psychological horror magical girl manga, Magical Girl Site along with its anime adaption, as the secondary antagonist. He is introduced as a cruel and callous brother of Aya Asagiri, the manga's main protagonist.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He's a rip off of Light Yagami from Death Note, Shinji Mato from the Fate series, and Lelouch Vi Brittania from Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, R2, and the movie, Re;surrection, who also have pretty childish motivations with Bendy as a troublemaker, from Foster's home for imaginary friends.
 * 2) There is no proper reason for him to exist along with Aya's bullies since it's a magical girl manga and mainly showing misfortune could happen to anyone. He only existed to give Aya some dramatic tension surrounding her misfortune.
 * 3) Also, his behavior looks too similar to Timmy Turner's sinister babysitter, Vicky, from The Fairly Odd Parents, and rock idol, Izaak Crowe, from Batman: Fortunate Son.
 * 4) He regularly punches, kicks pull her hair, and chokes Aya in pain as an outlet for stress relief due to their father's "expectations", in which he was abused and pressured.
 * 5) He acts nothing more like a creep than Aya's classmate and bully, Sarina Shizukume and her friends (Erika Kajima, Ai Kawano, and Shota Arai).
 * 6) HYPOCRISY: Since being beaten by his father left Kaname to be consumed by hatred from him and considers all humans as "scums" (an epitome of a scum that only validates their own lives through others like his father, who Kaname think to him as a type of scum that doesn't deserve to live), and full of "brainless meatbags" as his stress relief.
 * 7) * But of course, just thinks he's not human and maybe a god trapped in his human body. He is like a misanthropic-monologuing saint towards his cruelty to Aya and hatred towards his father.
 * 8) * Speaking of his father and verbal abuse towards the way he hits him because of said studying, Kaname described him as a real scum to him because he would be disgraceful in his life for not getting into Tokyo University. He believed that his father forces his ideals zealously onto Kaname so that he won't tread the same path that he did. Calling his father, "the king of losers". Even though his father has no interest on Aya as a worthless kid and a brat who lives a carefree life that pisses Kaname off on him.
 * 9) Despite being unlikable, Kaname gets more screen time in both the manga and the anime and he doesn't get punished for his actions in the rest of the entire story.
 * 10) He gets much worse as the series progresses and is never punished in every single chapter (except when he was forced to study by his father using Nijimi's panties.)
 * 11) He always punches Aya every single day, to keep her out of trouble over his father's abuse, and kept his true personality a secret.
 * 12) Since being a complex sadist and a cruel torturer, Kaname thinks that his father would never hit someone like him and wants to see his abusive father in pain, despite the external performance of being his "father's boy" who "is on top of his grades and needs to be taken to college". His motives are not as sympathetic.
 * 13) He is nothing more than an extremely unthreatening villain that is just mediocre who is shown to being a victim of child abuse into a cruel, yet sociopathic maniac, who thinks about God is his savior and the human race, being a waste of their time.
 * 14) *His motivations were to just use Aya as his stress slave, steal Nijimi's panties to control Nijimi then, choke Asahi, forcing her to stab Kiyoharu, using Nijimi to steal the magic sticks, and nothing else. Even when his goals don't make little to no sense when Kaname explained his reasoning about his father. In this, he wants to steal all the magic sticks and nothing else, making his plans very meaningless and just as his childish motivations.
 * 15) He is very rubbish than his father but is barely shown to stalk Aya, creepily. Then he just suddenly changes from doing the wrong thing for the right reasons to just randomly turning evil despite him having no build-up, along with character development or any motivation for his actions whatsoever, since we already learned that Kaname was abused by his father.
 * 16) He becomes even more unlikeable when he killed Nijimi in self-defense, and shows no remorse for it, but doesn't get punished for that when Nijimi slits his throat with a shattered bottle. He starts crawling, and monologues about how he is not going to lose against Aya and the girls, but thinks God is always on my side since he was born, and never abandoned him before, not once thus proves he is the chosen one, a god himself.
 * 17) * Aya tries telling Kaname to open his eyes so nobody will be happy even if he keeps doing this and she questions what is the point of doing all of this and making everyone sad. Kaname doesn't care about her for disobeying him and seems like Aya doesn't have enough from him, once he proceeds to continue having Aya as a stress reliever.
 * 18) He is very prone to mental outbursts and sadistic tendencies due to his father's beatings, but wished his father is dead to him:
 * 19) *After his father died of the lifespan while he was using Nijimi's panties, he beat his father for all the pain he caused him and tries to take the panties for himself until Aya teleport it away (so he won't do anything bad). In the hospital after his father truly died, Kaname feels like he over his father's death and taunts Aya that Kaname's father wasn't her actual father. After all this time, Kaname thinks Aya really had no idea that she and Kaname weren't related to each other, no matter how neither he or his father ever treated you like a family and thought it's "hilarious".
 * 20) * Since he showed no remorse over his father's death, Kaname guessed his mother who did very sincerely as a good parent to Aya. But, thinks God knows what goes through her mother's mind when she even feels love for his father. Aya tried to leave, but Kaname taunts her again about not being his real family and Tsuyuno Yatsumura's demise nor her friends.
 * 21) When he was aware of Tempest happening in 10 days ever since his abusive father died, he thought he could finally start living my own life and considers everything "sucks".
 * 22) He doesn't care if he's a liar, evil or unremorseful since Aya wanted him to realize all the cruel things he's done and wanted him to be happy. As much as he's like it or not, Kaname feels very "sorry" for killing Nijimi and can't have Aya just have that one slide.
 * 23) In the second half of the manga, he is still unlikeable when he joins Aya and her group to stop the site admins that's because he is only unheroic. Since so, Kaname is still useless and is unable to use a magic stick since Aya took his lifespan from him.
 * 24) IDIOT MOVE: After being hospitalized, confronted by site admin Nana, and had to go home, He tried to warn his father about the site admins attacking, but punches him, ignorantly. Because he wanted Kaname to continue studying by using Nijimi's panties. In a battle between the King, He used a teddy bear magic stick to destroy her. However, it doesn't work when she revealed that he lost his manhood when he was tortured by Detective Kichiro Misumi.
 * 25) The series expects readers and viewers to "sympathize" with Kaname since he was abused by his father, but the fact he only wanted to use Aya to help him relieve his stress, stealing magic sticks, and nothing else.
 * 26) He wasted the voice talent of Nobuhiko Okamoto who voiced Katsuki Bakugo from My Hero Academia, who unintentionally has a disgusting, yet sociopathic whiny voice in anime history.

Redeeming Qualities:

 * 1) He later does get punished by his father for leaving him for a month while he was trying to steal magic sticks.
 * 2) He did have little character development.
 * 3) Being sodomized and tortured by Detective Kichiro Misumi was well-deserving for all the abuse he did to Aya, despite it being pointless.
 * 4) Since being sadistic and cruel, he is also a coward unlike Keisuke Naoto.
 * 5) His voice acting is good while his voice comes off as annoying and unsettling.
 * 6) His character design is good.
 * 7) He does help Aya by using Nijimi's panties (for all the terrible things he's done).Thanks to Nijimi's stick, Kaname did cast Aya back to the past so that she would not be misfortunate again.
 * 8) When Aya took his lifespan from him in a way to keep him from using magic sticks for his evil, Kaname realizes when his sister told him about protecting him from his abusive father. If Aya's disappears, he will torn the family apart, if he keeps trying to relieve his stress.
 * 9) He became better in the final chapter, since he became a more thoughtful and genuinely kind boy as he got over his father's high expectations and verbal abuse with beatings. He even went to the beach with Aya and her friends as well, which means that his relationship with his adopted sister started to improve.

Trivia:

 * He is presumed to be the evilest of Magical Girl Site along with Erika Kajima, probably.
 * Kaname can be compared to Light Yagami, the main protagonist, and villain of Death Note.
 * There is a difference between being egotistic, Light wants to bring justice to the world by cleansing crime in every city and country, While Kaname considers humans as a waste of time and being "scums", and considers to torture them as his stress relief.
 * His method of trying to bring peace and justice to the world by using the "Death Note" comes off as acting like a childish, arrogant, heartless, and insecure jerk. Which really gets old and annoying whenever he's boasting about being a savior to the world. While Kaname's method was to bring pain and suffering towards Aya and the others by using the Magical Girl Site and its magic sticks as his deeds. Like Light, Kaname is much like him as a jerk, who is boasting himself like a scumbag human being he is to the world.
 * He comes off as a very pathetic egotist. Even though his plan, in the beginning, was to rid the world of crime and injustice, it slowly changes into not wanting to get caught by the authorities and to be worshiped as a god. As for Kaname, his plans don't make sense, and unclear where he wants to steal the magic sticks and nothing else.
 * Speaking of being an egotist, he has such overwhelming pride in himself and his intentions, that he'd even go as far as to kill anyone who calls his actions wrong or evil, just like how Kaname wanted to kill his father for abusing him and making his life miserable.
 * His sense of justice and peace is heavily contradicted by his long list of murders, and his willingness to kill his family members if they became a liability, but only backs out because of the scrutiny it would draw. Thus, it just makes him what Near states he truly is: Nothing more and nothing less than a crazy serial killer just like what Kaname had become. But unlike Light's sense of justice and peace, Kaname only has a sense of pain and suffering and he cares much about being a "God".
 * His sadistic and murderous nature also makes him lose a lot of sympathies, as the same as Kaname, who unlike Light, shows no remorse in killing Nijimi Anazawa and Keisuke Naoto but lacks a lot of sympathies than Light ever was. Like when he killed Naomi Misora by using the "Death Note" to make her commit suicide, and the way he tells her he's Kira and taunting her afterward is very unsettling. But, Kaname uses Nijimi's panties to control Keisuke and commit suicide just to show how much a friend he is and taunting him afterward, very unsettling.
 * As the series progresses, he loses a lot of empathy and regard for everyone around him, especially his family. He hardly even cared that his father died. Unlike Kaname, He has nothing with him compared to Light (except for his mother caring about him). He hardly ever cared about his father because of said abuse, and he wished he is dead and doesn't deserve to live.
 * Even though he does a good job at concealing his identity the same way Kaname concealed his nature towards his parents and others, it's very easy to guess he's Kira based on his personality.
 * As the series progresses, he lets his ego inflate so heavily that he caught off guard, which led to his demise six years later after pulling a dumb mistake by letting Mikami hide the Death Note in a bank deposit box.
 * Manipulated Misa, who had a huge crush on Light. (Although she didn't seem to mind), just like how Kaname manipulated Nijimi, who also has a crush on him, too. But, tricks her into using her magic stick and forced her to steal magic sticks on Aya and the others.
 * They both have families where there is a difference where Kaname has a family that is secretly dysfunctional and sometimes uncaring, while Light's family aren't dysfunctional at all.
 * Kaname can be compared with Shinji Mato, the major antagonist of Fate/Stay Night:
 * Both have blue hair colors.
 * They tortured their sisters for reasons.
 * Both are very unlikeable and they get more screentime.
 * Both are jerks.
 * Both are pathetic cowards.
 * They have reasons to be sadistic sociopaths. There is a difference where Shinji is very haughty, chauvinistic, narcissistic, and very complex inferiority due to being a disgrace to the family by his grandfather, Zoken, while Kaname has a sadistic complex, yet cruel nature due to his father's constant abuse and the way he is pushing him to study.
 * 1) Kaname can also be compared to Vicky from The Fairly Odd Parents
 * Both are mean-spirited, cruel, and sadistic and hide their secrets from parents.
 * There is a difference where Kaname abuses Aya to relief his stress, while Vicky treats Timmy as a punching bag and making his life miserable.
 * 1) Kaname can be compared to Izaak Crowe from Batman: Fortunate Son.
