I've been wondering who are the worst anime characters to ask for relationship advice. So far I thought of Yujiro Hanma from Baki, because he would absolutely invade your privacy in the worst moments and "coach", and Mei Mei from Jujutsu Kaisen because she would not only charge a lot of money for "consultation fees", but worse, her advice would be really really bad since she is both a sociopath and a groomer...

    akio ohtori. loves giving advice but is always focusing on ruining your life and fucking you
    mcgillis from gundam ibo. it's possible that he's running a scheme where he'll kill you. it's possible he's sincere and trying to help you! either way you're fucked if you listen to him

      Yeah, I didn't even consider malice in the equation, I originally thought of "who would be so hilariously bad at relationship advice even if they try their best", but you're right, malice is worse than anything any well meaning awful advice would be.

        to be clear, akio spends the entire show grooming and abusing (and in many cases having sex with) the whole cast of the show, most of whom are children (ranging from 12 to 17). huge piece of shit, and incredible at picking advice that fucks you over

          Akio would probably be buds with corporate-art. The whole "under qualified for his role at a school" bit matches up lol
