Talk:Rachel/@comment-26616484-20150926150049

Lol the amount of hate here pierces the heavens. Personally, I think the reason most people hate Rachel is because she's not cool. If a villian is interesting and captivating, fans are willing to overlook all of their atrocities.

SPOILERS- (Don't read unless you're caught up with One Piece and Bleach)

Take Aizen from Bleach- betrayed the lieutanant who loved him the most, and slaughtered all of Central 49- but people complain not because of his character, but because his successive butterfly transformations look stupid. Or Blackbeard- killed a crew member, is indirectly responsible for Ace and Whitebeard's death, but is still found cool and theorized to be the final boss of the series (a well-sized fraction of the fan-base do hate him, but they're far from the majority).

SPOILERS OVER:

Personally, if Rachel was a more dynamic or powerful villian- like Karaka or my namesake Grace Mirchea Luslec- people would love her. But she's way too normal. Average lightbearing skills, average shinsoo resistance, etc. So that's why people don't like her. P.S- If she dies, it will probably be at the end of the series. Rachel, Baam, Koon, and Anak have so much freaking Plot Armor that narrative-wise, they're basically immortal.
