The 20 Best 'Chaotic Good' Anime Characters of All Time

Nothing says chaotic good like a willingness to try and bring your mother back from the dead using forbidden alchemy techniques. Edward Elric doesn't care about what's advisable or even possible, he's going to do whatever it takes to get to the outcome he believes is best.

Luffy is a pirate, which means that he shuns the rules of society, and will happily break the law without a thought. Nevertheless, he'll do anything to help those in need. 

Yusuke Urameshi is ultimately a good kid, which he proves when he saves a child from getting hit by a car. Still, he's not exactly keen on following rules - he gets into fights on a regular basis, and if he doesn't agree with how he's told to handle a villain, he'll do what he thinks is right. 

Koro-sensei wants to save the world from being destroyed by his own exploding body, and he wants to help his friends' former students build up their confidence. How does he do that? By threatening to destroy the earth unless a bunch of middle schoolers assassinate him, and he's allowed to teach them how. 

After being rejected by society for his status as a half-demon, half-human, Inuyasha decides that he doesn't particularly care about what that society expects from him. Still, he's going to do whatever it takes to protect the people he cares about - and random people he doesn't know, too. 

Katsuki Bakugo doesn't listen to anybody except himself, which makes him impossible to deal with on team missions. Nevertheless, he wants to be the greatest superhero the world has ever seen. Though this goal is partially based on a desire for power and glory, he also has a genuine desire to save people.

Vash The Stampede doesn't want to create chaos wherever he goes, but he can't exactly stop himself, either. He might exist outside of society's rules, but he still really wants to help others and do the right thing. 

While Ichigo Kurosaki can usually be found helping others, he's insistent that he only does it on his own terms, not on those of other people. In fact, he'll even go so far as to help people who don't want his help - like when he rescues Rukia by destroying Soul Society's social structure, even though she asked him not to.  

Goku doesn't fully understand how earth society works, and he doesn't particularly care either. He may not know what kissing is, or be willing to carry out someone else's plan for defeating a villain, but he won't let that villain go undefeated. 

Kallen Stadtfield, also known by her real name, Kallen Kozuki, is a guerilla warrior working for the liberation of the Japanese people from the Britannian empire. She could probably live peacefully and avoid conflict, but morals are more important to her than peace, and the only way to live by her morals is to break the rules of society.

Kagura will ride into your house on a giant dog, then eat all the food in your refrigerator and go to sleep on your couch. But despite behavior that seems to defy logic, she has an inner moral compass that keeps her from doing anything she finds morally abhorrent, and keeps her on the side of fighting for good.

Reigen Arataka believes that it's his job as an adult to protect children - however, it's also his job to exploit their psychic powers to make a quick buck. While he ultimately means well and is a great mentor to Mob, his means of helping the kid out are pretty unconventional.

Kiritsugu Emiya's goal is to get his hands on the holy grail and wish for world peace. This is a noble goal, but he's willing to cause all kinds of chaos - even kill people who get in his way - to accomplish it. 

Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing intends to protect the United Kingdom from any threats it might face. If that involves hiring a vampire to kill other vampires, then so be it. 

Eren Jaeger wants to protect innocent people from danger. Whether that danger is caused by man-eating monsters or slave traders, he'll take care of it - but his process can involve murdering adults when he's a little boy, or transforming into a man-eating monster himself. 

Joey Wheeler may not have good grades or a good family life, but if you mess with his friends, you'll get a face full of fist - either that or he'll challenge you to a duel whether or not most people would think he had a chance of winning.

Death Note isn't a series with much chaotic good, but Touta Matsuda, the youngest member of the anti-Kira task force besides Light, is an exception. He's not just willing to question whether the task force is doing the right thing, he's also willing to fake his own death and jump out a window to try and get information needed to take Kira down.

Few things represent the concept of Chaotic Good better than someone who is willing to literally become a universe breaking god in order to save protect other girls from having to fight witches. Interestingly, Madoka doesn't start off willing to break the rules so drastically, but by the end of the series, all bets are off.
