Just as we need spices in our foods, we also need a bit of shocking experience to spice up what we are watching. But betrayals in anime can be so brutal and heartbreaking….it is usually someone you don’t expect that ends up betraying, either it carries good or bad intention or it’s simply a manipulation from the very beginning what we’re looking at is the fact that trust has been betrayed.

9. Sasuke betrayed the leaf village

Sasuke has always been a strong fighter, but it seems that no matter how he tried, it still won’t be enough. So he betrayed his village. Seems like quite a simple scenario but it isn’t.

8. Itachi betrayed his clan

And now I’ll explain the whole story. Itachi was one would refer to as a child prodigy, he was so good he could learn every move just by seeing it once and be greater than his tutor.

In his want for peace, he made a deal to kill all the members of his clan except for his younger brother, Sasuke. The reason why Sasuke betrayed kohona village was to take revenge on his brother who betrayed his clan. 

7. Walter betrayed Integra

Of all people to betray, no one would expect a butler to betray his master, after all, they are to most loyal and trustworthy members of a household. Walter is a man who has served the intergra family for a long time, probably throughout his life, so the idea of betrayal came as a huge shock to all of us. Alucard said that his fear of becoming old and useless and desire to prove his abilities to himself by killing Alucard is what drove him to his betrayal. 

6. Sosuke Aizen betrayed the soul society

Aizen is a soul reaper and the captain of the fifth squad. Aizen’s betrayal was one of the biggest shocks in anime history and it was just too unexpected. Ichigo came to the soul society to rescue Rukia from her brother who wanted to execute her for breaking the rules of the soul society. Little did we know that this was Aizen’s plot, he was skimming in the background from the very beginning.

Allegedly making him a traitor. 

4. Racheal betrayed Bam

At this point on the list, things have gotten personal. This is probably the most annoying betrayal I have ever seen in anime. I mean…others are shocking this is just plain annoying. Bam was a simp over the girl. He went into a tower with various floors that can kill him just to find the girl who he holds as his closest and most trustworthy companion. She betrayed bam by pushing him to kill him, she did so because she thought that Bam’s very existence made her less significant, she hated why everything was about Bam and why everyone was closer to Bam she thinks that bam stole her very role from her. The painful part was the fact that she still betrayed bam after an all-out apology. Scums do exist.

3. Ryo betrayed Fudo Akira

Ryo is a person who Fudo puts all his trust in, he is even the one who turned fudo into a devil man then went ahead after realizing that he is Satan decided to destroy the world and thereby killed his own best friend. As simple as this may sound, it is indeed a touching story.
