ENTP Anime Characters (27)
Ningning
Ningning of aespa is an ENTP (Debater), a personality type known for its curiosity, logical thinking, and love for intellectual challenges. As the youngest member and main vocalist, the gap between her unwavering stage presence and her playful, off-stage antics is a manifestation of her desire to express her intellectual curiosity and extroverted energy. Her unique sense of humor and sharp wit, typical of an ENTP, add depth and unpredictability to aespa's dynamic world.
Karma Akabane
The problem child of Class E and a boy with a genius intellect. His ENTP (Debater) traits of quick-wittedness, a provocative attitude, and unconventional thinking form the core of his character. While he enjoys a battle of wits with Koro-sensei, he also has a sense of camaraderie with his classmates. His ENTP-like sarcasm and humor are part of his charm.
Hange Zoë
The embodiment of intellectual curiosity in the Survey Corps, Hange Zoë perfectly represents the ENTP (Debater) personality type. Their endless thirst for knowledge about the unknown, particularly Titan biology, and their unconventional thinking led to numerous crucial discoveries. Often seen as eccentric for their passionate, almost manic approach to studying Titans, this behavior is backed by calm, logical thought and a deep sense of duty to humanity's future. After Commander Erwin's death, Hange shouldered the heavy responsibility of leadership, guiding the organization with their characteristic wit and charisma.
Kisuke Urahara
In the harsh environment of "Blue Lock," Rensuke Kunigami is a sun-like presence, strongly reflecting the traits of an ENFP (Campaigner). His greatest charm is his boundless positivity and charisma that inspires those around him. He naturally takes on the role of boosting team morale, a result of his Extraverted Intuition (Ne) and Introverted Feeling (Fi). He acts on his beliefs and excels at understanding and encouraging others. His passionate words and actions often create breakthroughs in difficult situations. His dedication to the team and his pursuit of "fairness" are his unique strengths in the ego-driven world of Blue Lock.
Reze
The enigmatic girl who suddenly appears before Denji, Reze's charm lies in her dual nature: a carefree, innocent facade hiding a cold-blooded spy. This reflects the ENTP (Debater) type, using intellectual curiosity and flexible thinking to cleverly manipulate Denji's heart. Her wit and charisma are also present in her devastating power as the Bomb Devil, which she wields with a terrifying, game-like detachment. This tragic relationship makes her one of Chainsaw Man's most charismatic villains.
Turbo Granny
A mysterious being known as an urban legend, Turbo-BBA possesses Okarun. Her unpredictable actions, humor, and tendency to enjoy the situation are at the core of her character, reflecting the traits of an ENTP (Debater). Her trickster-like presence, typical of an ENTP, is part of her charm.
Mello
Mello, another of L's successors, strongly reflects the ENTP (Debater) MBTI type with his intense intellectual curiosity and logical nature. He constantly seeks new possibilities and devises original solutions. His radical, competitive drive to catch Kira, fueled by his rivalry with Near, aligns with the ENTP's love for intellectual sparring and their willingness to shatter existing paradigms. This rivalry sharpens his reasoning, while his love for chocolate reveals a human impulsiveness beneath the cold logic, making him a fascinating 'heretical genius.'
Kaito Kid
The master trickster, Kaito Kid, perfectly embodies the ENTP (Debater) MBTI type. His actions are driven by an insatiable quest for stimulating challenges and intellectual battles. He views his heists against the police and detectives as a stage for his magic show, always staying one step ahead with his imaginative and improvisational skills. Using the ENTP's advanced logical thinking and extroverted social skills, he provokes his opponents with bold notices while completely dominating the situation with disguises and psychological warfare. His charm lies in being an artist pursuing a brilliant performance, not just a thief.
Senku Ishigami
A kind-hearted and responsible young man with an extraordinary sense of smell. As a classic ENFJ (Protagonist), Tanjiro shows compassion even to demons, driven by a powerful sense of duty to protect others. He fights tirelessly to defend humanity and find a cure for his sister, embodying the ENFJ's selfless and inspiring leadership qualities.
Bulma
An heiress to the global giant Capsule Corp., Bulma is a genius scientist driven by relentless curiosity and innovative ideas, perfectly embodying the ENTP (Debater) type. Her quest for new concepts, from the first Dragon Ball hunt to developing tech that saves the Z Fighters, is central to the story. While sometimes selfish and short-tempered, it reflects her rich emotions and honesty. With Vegeta as her partner, her logic and passion grew even stronger. Though she lacks combat power, her intellect and proactiveness make her an indispensable "fortress of knowledge" for the Z Fighters, bringing both realism and humor to the narrative.
Edward Elric
Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist, has an ENTP (Debater) MBTI type, and his personality is strongly reflected in his behavior. ENTPs are witty, have a strong intellectual curiosity, and are not afraid to challenge existing rules and authority. Ed’s outstanding intelligence, which earned him the qualification of a State Alchemist at the youngest age in history, and his imaginative power to break common sense in his quest for truth are due to the combination of Extraverted Intuition (Ne) and Introverted Thinking (Ti), which are typical ENTP characteristics. He constantly seeks new solutions and theories within the scientific and logical system of alchemy and pursued knowledge even to the point of committing the taboo of human transmutation. Ed’s role in the work is that of a major explorer who, while pursuing his personal goal of regaining his lost body, confronts the darkness of the state and the world in the process. He is supported by his strong bond with his calm and composed younger brother, Alphonse Elric, and although he is short-tempered and foul-mouthed, his devoted love for Al and his strong sense of justice to help the weak are the foundation of his actions. In particular, he takes a logical and critical attitude towards authoritarian and conservative adults (e.g., Colonel Mustang and the military’s top brass) due to his ENTP nature and often clashes with them, but this is because he values truth and justice. The charm of Edward Elric lies in the gap between his genius brain, his bold actions unbecoming of a 15-year-old, and his cute side of hating milk, and he is a character who drives the work forward by using his wit to pave the way even in complex situations without losing his sense of humor.

Hisoka Morow
Hisoka Morow is the unpredictable trickster of 'HUNTER x HUNTER,' embodying a twisted version of the ENTP (Debater) MBTI type. His actions are driven by a singular desire: the thrill of battling strong opponents. For him, the world is a playground to satisfy his combat lust, and he takes a distorted, protective interest in nurturing the potential of promising fighters like Gon. His Nen abilities, Bungee Gum and Texture Surprise, allow him to control the game from a position of superiority, viewing combat as a narcissistic art form.

As a teacher, he focuses on drawing out the individual talents of his students, particularly passionate about nurturing the next generation, including Yuji Itadori.
Arataka Reigen
A self-proclaimed "psychic" who is actually a con artist with no psychic abilities.

As Mob's master, he plays a crucial role in teaching him morality and social skills as a person, rather than relying on psychic powers. While he appears to be a shady adult at first glance, he has a firm sense of ethics at his core and genuinely watches over Mob's growth without exploiting him. His ENTP-like flexible thinking and attitude of enjoying adversity give the work its unique humor and depth.

In particular, his independent actions upon sensing the change in Toman can be said to be an expression of his ENTP-like problem-solving ability to protect the core of the organization.
