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. Doing things like verbally torturing Aya as a stress relief to get away from his father's so-called "expectations" from his studies and is proud of it.

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, Akito The Exiled and the sequel movie, Lelouch of the Re;surrection, who also have pretty childish motivations.
 * 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. But, Kaname just only existed to give Aya some dramatic tension surrounding her misfortune.
 * 3) He doesn't feel like an actual magical girl villains and feels more like a Batman villain that deserves to be taken to a mental institution.
 * 4) His character design often looks like Shinji Mato from the Fate series with blue hair, innocent eyes, and an egotistical behavior who both torture their sisters that are adopted.
 * 5) His blue hair color in the anime version is a straight up rip-off of Shinpei Sakamoto from My First Girlfriend Is a Gal.
 * 6) He is like a prototype version of Billy Hargrove from Stranger Things, who both abuse their sisters, but there is a difference that Billy has a stepsister, who is aware of that, while Kaname has an adopted sister.
 * 7) Also, his behavior looks too similar to Timmy Turner's sinister babysitter, Vicky, from The Fairly Odd Parents, a rock idol named Izaak Crowe, from Batman: Fortunate Son, and Bendy from Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends.
 * 8) He sadistically punches, kicks pull her hair, kicks her and chokes Aya in pain as an outlet for stress relief due to their father's "expectations". The primary reason why he's torturing Aya for the fun of it just because his father wanted the ideal of academic perfection in getting him into Tokyo University by pressuring him so hard on studying and would beat him as a disappointment.
 * 9) 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).
 * 10) He with Sarina and her friends are the sole reason why Aya was one of the most misfortunate girls in the world.
 * 11) 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".
 * 12) * 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.
 * 13) * 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.
 * 14) 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.
 * 15) He kept his true personality in private towards his parents and is never punished.
 * 16) 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". Making his motives not as sympathetic. Plus, Kaname doesn't even bother to tell her mother about his father so that he can get over with it.
 * 17) He is nothing more than an extremely unthreatening villain that is just mediocre. As being a victim of child abuse into a cruel, yet sociopathic maniac, that thinks about God is his savior and the human race, being a waste of their time.
 * 18) He is a creep, but one-dimensional. Just to only stalk Aya, because of his abusive father. Worst is that, he never gets punished in public, only when he's captured by Detective Kichiro Misumi and forced to study in mind-control by his father using Nijimi's panties.
 * 19) *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.
 * 20) 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. Also, his plans shifts from relieving his stress into something dumber and never makes any sense where he wants to steal magic sticks and nothing else.
 * 21) He becomes even more unlikeable when he killed Nijimi in self-defense, and shows no remorse for it.
 * 22) 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.
 * 23) * 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.
 * 24) He is very prone to mental outbursts and sadistic tendencies due to his father's beatings, but wished his father is dead to him:
 * 25) *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".
 * 26) * 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.
 * 27) He is honestly no better in the second half of the manga after he was able to escape from Kichiro Misumi's house and taken to the hospital.
 * 28) He told the investigators about what happen to Misumi, but covered all the incidents that happen to him (in reality, he slit Misumi's throat and nearly killed him along with his burning house).
 * 29) He later joins one of the site admins, Nana, who tells her all about the Magical Girl Site and Tempest.
 * 30) * In response, after his abusive father died using Nijimi's panties, he thought he could finally start living his own life and considers everything "sucks".
 * 31) * As Aya tried to leave, but Kaname taunts her again about not being his real family and Tsuyuno Yatsumura's demise nor her friends, but tells her much of how Nana is using him for something that would destroy the King.
 * 32) He doesn't care if he's a liar, evil or have any remorse 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.
 * 33) 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.
 * 34) Lots of IDIOT MOVES:
 * 35) After being hospitalized, confronted by fellow Site Admin, Nana, and had to go home, Kaname tried to warn his father about the Site Admins attacking. However, his father punches him, ignorantly, just ecause he wanted Kaname to continue studying by using Nijimi's panties.
 * 36) In a battle against 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.
 * 37) 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.
 * 38) His cruelty towards Aya and her friends makes him even more crueler, sadistic and mean-spirited compared to the King of Ancient Humanity (the main villainess of Magical Girl Site), her Site Administrator, along with Sarina and her friends. To keep in mind, they like Kaname, are SUPPOSED to be taken in an evil and twisted sense. For that, he is more than an average torturer that likes to have "good fun" torturing people.
 * 39) 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) Being abused from why he tortured Aya from his abusive father for not having high efforts for his studies was well-explained, but poorly executed.
 * 2) Being kidnapped, sodomized and tortured by Detective Kichiro Misumi was well-deserving as a comeuppance for all the abuse he did to Aya, despite being pointless.
 * 3) He did have little character development.
 * 4) Since being sadistic and cruel, he comes off as a coward compared Keisuke Naoto.
 * 5) His voice acting is good while his voice comes off as annoying and unsettling.
 * 6) His character design is good.
 * 7) When Aya took his lifespan from him in a way to keep him away from using magic sticks for his evil, Kaname realizes by his sister that she was protecting him from his abusive father and his grueling training for gifted students. Aya knows this when he lamented inside his room for failing his father, and thus led Kaname to use Aya as a stress relief to solve his problem. If Aya's disappears, he will torn the family apart, if he endures this.
 * 8) 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.
 * 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 his torturer, Kichiro, Aya and her friends as well, which means that his relationship with his adopted sister started to improve.
 * 10) He is an epitome of how NOT to endure your pressure during studying.

Trivia

 * He is presumed to be the most evilest of Magical Girl Site along with Erika Kajima, probably.
