Here is everything you need to know about the most honorable anime men.

Might Guy (Naruto)

In the Naruto anime, most Leaf Village ninjas have a shonen-style code of honor that emphasizes teamwork, friendship, honesty, and courage. Plenty of characters live up to this lofty ideal, such as Kakashi Hatake and his energetic rival, the martial artist Might Guy.

Might Guy is boastful but selfless as a Jonin Leaf ninja, and he takes great pride in his three students’ accomplishments. Even if he acts like a himbo, Might Guy can be quite serious and will never bend his inspiring principles for any reason. He also has immense respect for his sworn rival, Kakashi, and they are the best of friends, too.

Tanjiro Kamado (Demon Slayer)

Demon Slayer features an entire corps of sword-slinging demon hunters. They are expected to fight with courage, discipline, and honor when defending humanity from Muzan Kibutsuji’s nightmarish hordes. This includes the protagonist, Tanjiro Kamado, who will fight hard to win, but won’t cheat.

Tanjiro is a compassionate, selfless, and honest demon-hunting hero. He is quick to criticize others for their bad behavior. Tanjiro objected when Inosuke picked a fight for its own sake.

Thors Snorresson (Vinland Saga)

In Vinland Saga, most Vikings were honorless raiders and thugs. They would attack anyone and destroy entire villages if it meant getting gold and supplies. Meanwhile, the honorable Thors Snorresson grew weary of war and faked his death to leave the Jomsvikings.

Thors wisely realized that no one truly has any enemies, and bloodshed is never justified. Instead, Thors put his sword away and never took life again, not even when Askeladd’s band cornered him in the Faroe Islands. However, Askeladd didn’t mind a breach of honor if it meant winning, and Thors was slain.

Mumen Rider (One-Punch Man)

Mumen Rider is one of One-Punch Man’s most popular and inspiring heroes. He tends to claim moral victories even if he gets beaten up because he has a great hero’s honor, courage, and conviction.

Mumen Rider stood no chance against the Deep Sea King but faced that villain out of duty. And in that sense, he had already won and said so. The terrified crowd applauded him for that, though Mumen Rider swiftly lost the fight just a moment later.

Eijiro Kirishima (My Hero Academia)

Eijiro Kirishima is a class 1-A student who’s determined to live up to Crimson Riot’s example as a cool, honorable, and manly hero everyone can look up to in My Hero Academia. And unlike his explosive pal Katsuki Bakugo, Eijiro knows that real, honorable masculinity never comes from rage or selfish acts.

Eijiro is tough but fair, and will never criticize or blame anyone else for his problems. Eijiro also strongly believes in good sportsmanship, such as when he and Tetsutetsu shook hands and became friendly rivals.
