It happens a lot in anime, usually Shonen Jump style ones. You know what I mean: The cast starts out small. Everyone get their due screen time, then BAM! One day there's a million and two characters and 80% of them are just grunting and sweating in the background while the same two rivals fight. What's the point of a huge cast of hero and villains turned ally if all they're gonna do is join the hero's fan club?

Here we'll discuss characters that would be great but are left completely forgotten. Don't be afraid to name characters in RWBY, anime, cartoons, live action movie, series, comics, manga, ANYTHING.

If you know anything about me, it's that I liked Fox a lot. But I was always heart-broken when the writers shat all over my dreams of hearing him talk and fight along side the leads (he didn't even fight in the season 3 festival, weak).

Some of my favorite anime/manga/comics do this too. Fairy Tail, Seven Deadly Sin, Witch Hunter, Promised Neverland and Attack on Titan of some of the stuff I read these days (since all the classic stuff like FMA and Outlaw Star will never be outdone). And sad to say, even they are guilty of having huge casts that become meaningless plot and combat wise.
