Anime or manga where MC is kicked out of party because he deserve it?

Theme "Kicked out of the party" is in recent years in my opinion a little overused, MC is always good person and his former party is jerks. I'm currious if there is any anime or mange where MC is kicked out the party because he was a bad person? Like he was good in his role in the party, but maybe getts in the fight with the rest of the team. Or he had secret romance with partner of hero, cheating behind his back. Or do something evil or illegal and has to face consequences?

It is pretty boring for me, that in almost every type of this stories MC is never in wrong, it is always fault of the former party.

Cant remember the name of the manga but theres one where the mc is kicked out because he can only make sex toys

Militant_Worm2026-01-02 22:06

Ah yes, _The Exiled Alchemist Saves the World With Adult Toys: A Man Who Can Make Any Monster Orgasm Without Fail_

After the whole vending machine thing I can no longer tell what is real and what’s satire

well yeah, obviously he's too busy reading that manga

kekehippo2026-01-03 00:35

Of course it is, thanks Japan.

thewilltheway2026-01-02 23:17

I unironically really enjoyed season 1 of that. Season 2 was decent, but the novelty did wear off a bit.

Erick_Brimstone2026-01-03 04:15

It's real and it's a satire to the genre

Warm-Enthusiasm-95342026-01-03 08:27

It's never satire.

Clos12392026-01-03 00:53

🤯☠️

shrek3onDVDandBluray2026-01-03 09:06

lol I am always taken aback at how long the names are, Japan manga/light novel/anime obsession with isekais, and how writers will literally turn ANY isekai concept into a series and it will get picked up AND an anime adaption

ukezi2026-01-03 10:26

The biggest web novel site in Japan has a shit search function, so they basically put a synopsis and a bunch of keywords into the title to attract readers.

Geoffk1232026-01-02 22:02

Ive dipped my toes in just about all of them (haven't tried court magician yet) and they're pretty much all just some idiot(s) thinking the MC is useless despite being very obviously obscenely overpowered. Or 1 guy gets jealous and kicks him out because of it.

Theres probably a 100 more of these in Light Novel form that will get adaptations some day so maybe we'll see something original and not just the same cookie cutter template over and over.

The only thing I can really think of that somewhat fits the bill is Chilling in My 30s but its really not what you're asking for and divulging further would be a spoiler

SuperDabMan2026-01-02 22:24

Court magician is identical to the rest. He's super OP but kicked out because he's bound by his court magician rules about combat/roles, so he just does support. Then it's all about him getting his confidence back with his old crew. Then it's about another character entirely but MC saves the day. Pretty meh, overall. Not great story, not great combat, not very funny, not very ecchi, just meh.

Hrhagadorn2026-01-02 23:27

The thing that saves this for me is that he was up in "college" with his party. Leaves them to follow his dream.of being a court magician then goes back to his party when y this time are an s ranked party. It showed he was always strong and his teammates are his equal. Often these types the MC is the only strong character for much of the story

SuperDabMan2026-01-02 23:48

True, yeah I did like his party overall. It reminded me of "I left my a-rank party to help my former students reach the dungeon depths!" but, not as good. I quite liked that one.

Wild_Obligation32652026-01-03 01:10

If it had some ecchi that could have made it salvageable.

atastyfire2026-01-03 04:25

Court Magician was pretty bad. His party with the prince didn’t work out because he was supposed to support the prince and didn’t want to overshadow him so he stuck with support magic and logistics.

Then he goes back to his old friends and their party, and while they are somewhat competent, he’s still far above them. He’s basically A rank in swordsmanship and support magic, and S rank or higher in attack magic. And for someone who’s a former court magician, for some reason it feels like he uses the sword a lot more than magic

CorruptedDucky212026-01-02 22:05

I dont really have the "kicking out of party part cus the mc was an actual bum" part however i do have an anime where the MC is an asshole but is good at his job. I don't think his actions really bite back though considering his actions are with good intent, the execution however makes him seem like a villan more than anything. The name is **The Most Notorious "Talker" Runs the World's Greatest Clan**

Another one I know of is **Ningen Fushin** where the main characters are sort of bums in some sense, they got kicked out of parties cus they weren't doing shi or they got cheated on etc. Its really more about how a gang of losers got together and found out they can be a party together some ground rules is to not to get interested in another persons private life and not to question their intent.

Sorry I couldn't be much of a help but those 2 animes that I watched are the best I could come up with similar to what u wanted

n080dy1232026-01-02 22:51

Notorious Talker is the only one I can think of yeah, and it was less that he was kicked out *for* a good reason so much as he was also a bit of asshole who did deserve to get taken down a peg, but at the same time it didn't seem self-aware about that because it paints him as really cool when he basically "Um akshually"s someone like a stereotypical internet know-it-all, and the party members who cut and ran with the party funds got their comeuppance shortly thereafter.

Ningen Fushin is pretty good though, it just... Really doesn't look good, unfortunately. But I really like the way it's written.

Wild_Obligation32652026-01-03 01:03

He wasn't kicked from his party though. The shield fighter and healer embezzled funds and tried to run.

Erick_Brimstone2026-01-03 04:26

But he's not kicked from party. His party is disbanded. Two member steal the party's money and one other just decided to retire early.

Erick_Brimstone2026-01-03 04:25

I don't know why but I don't really like Noel (Notorious Talker) but I like Lee Kiyoung (Regressor instruction manual) while both of them are manipulative asshole. Maybe because Noel lack some charm or maybe because it tried to take things seriously. Or maybe because Noel have good intention while looking like villain while Lee Kiyoung looks like saint while his motive purely for self interest.

fer_sure2026-01-02 22:08

Technically, the reason Red was told from *Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside* is actually true: he was actually weaker than the other party members and becoming outstripped as they leveled up. The deception was that the Hero Ruti (his sister) agreed.

And, while the party fell apart in his absence, it was mostly because he wasn't present to smooth over social issues, rather than the party suddenly losing to weak opponents because the MC was secretly OP.

Villag3Idiot2026-01-02 22:16

This series is actually one of the rare Banished-trope series that actually does it right instead of just being the usual cookie cutter unknowingly super OP MC series.

* MC have some kind of utilize skill that's seemingly weak/useless.
* Kicked out of the party
* Joins another party that's all girls
* Turns out that MC is actually using said skill in an unorthodox way and was the reason why their old party was so strong and MC is super OP
* Old party falls apart and may have hired a replacement for MC with a similar skill set who tells them just how OP MC actually was

This is how the vast majority of the Banished-trope series goes and usually this is where the story falls apart because the author have usually no idea how to progress the series after.

Exploreptile2026-01-03 00:23

In all fairness, "everyone who looked down upon me is objectively a weak-minded and weak-bodied fool, and here's every blatantly obvious reason why" is a way more straightforwardly appealing fantasy to one's ego than "people have their completely valid reasons for looking down on me, if not short-sighted/narrow-minded in the grander scheme of things"—and considering that first and foremost these sorts of stories are usually meant to be escapist(/broadly allegorical) power fantasies…

Villag3Idiot2026-01-03 00:27

Considering that the vast majority of these are web novel series, it makes sense that most of them are just copy pasta of one another.

TwilightVulpine2026-01-15 03:35

Damn, why is it so hard to find even a single story where the MC actually needs to mature and does? Sure that may not be the top appeal, but I'd expect for there to be some.

Celtic_Legend2026-01-03 05:52

From my memory it was on of the earlier ones. Not saying it was even close to the first but man after it released, there has been a significant uptick in the genre

emeraldarcana2026-01-03 15:55

Unfortunately, S2 of this series gave me a whiff that the author didn’t know how to advance the series either, as S2 didn’t build on many of the things that to me made S1 really great. We didn’t have the romance angle, the character-building angle, or the drama of what happened in the hero’s party as backdrops to the bucolic lifestyle of the protagonist and I felt it got weak as a result.

SuperDabMan2026-01-02 22:22

I realized there's a second season and started it and realized I also had no damn clue what was going on because it has been so long. It's on my rewatch list for sure.

DahakUK2026-01-02 22:46

Also, unrelated to the topic, but one of the few anime I've seen in which the romantic relationship between Red and Rit, two adults, is defined and mature, instead of "ooh, they may accidentally kiss 23 episodes in!"

Captincorpse2026-01-03 02:17

Yeah, I think the author missed a good opportunity on making a good fantasy romance with this series. Season one was solid but season two had basically nothing between Red and Rit. I lost all interest in that series because of that

Red_Cat2312026-01-02 23:15

Yeah, the best comparison I have is Red is the Sokka of the group (The Last Airbender), where he wasn't the best or even a good combatant, but he is the one working on their logistics, planning, and balancing the team's personalities and an episode shows that without Sokka, the team had no cohesion or any idea about what to do for the day and wasted the day doing nothing.

I was also watching Let This Grieving Soul Retire and Krai is also basically the team's Sokka, especially in the Light Novel info where it's revealed his advice was what gave his teammates their potential. Just one example, Sitri was the weakest member of their group and didn't even have magic potential and was worried she would hold them back, but Krai encouraged her to get into alchemy because he saw she loved reading and was very intelligent.

X_HANEEF_X2026-01-03 08:34

yeah, Let This Grieving Soul Retire is Kinda opposite of the trope, where the MC wants to be banished because he is thinking, that he is holding them back but got promoted into party leader. It's like without his friends, he would have died within days as ordinary human but without him, his friends would have never made it to the best, they are today.

LittleLostDoll2026-01-02 23:42

which is sad. it's logistics that win wars. without it soldiers are rendered useless

cppn022026-01-03 01:07

They weren't an army though but just a small party.

LittleLostDoll2026-01-03 01:12

logistics are important for a squad of 6 just as much as it is for 1 or 1000

letg062026-01-03 04:47

Just as important indeed.

The methods may differ a bit though. A lot easier to "forage" for a party of 6 than 6000.

jardex222026-01-03 09:46

For 6000, you'd either prepare supplies in advance to transport with you, or requisition them from stops along the way, I'd imagine.

letg062026-01-04 04:55

Requisition, forage, steal...

All the same to an army on the march.

jardex222026-01-04 05:26

Yeah, I was using the polite term for it. At the very least requisition could lead to being compensated later for the trouble, unlike being pillaged, plundered, or ransacked.

Captincorpse2026-01-02 23:45

The first season was very fun, it's a shame that season two was absolute garbage

Phoenix__Wwrong2026-01-03 05:10

What is s2 even about? I feel like s1 wrapped up nicely.

Captincorpse2026-01-03 05:46

So only watched it when it aired, can't remember exactly what happened but season two was about how the sister is no longer THE hero, so it follows a new guy that is suppose to be the next hero. Red and Rit barely get real screen time, it mostly follows the new guy. Which was terrible because he is basically a 12 year old going on a psycho power trip. He was always seconds away from massacring villages that didn't do what he ordered or liked. It was just so poorly written and boring. Felt nothing like the season one, mostly chill and comfy vibes that it had

emeraldarcana2026-01-03 15:57

Season 2 focuses on a new “hero” who has sociopathic tendencies.

I feel that it doesn’t focus on a lot of the things that made S1 great, like the romance, the chill vibes, catching up on relationships, and the intrigue and drama from S1.

Notosk2026-01-03 00:35

There's one where the mc is kicked from the party quite amicably and they just part in good terms since the mc was actually weaker

Erick_Brimstone2026-01-03 04:17

Alex is somewhat right. Red is indeed lack firepower. But he is the one that held the party together.

IceBlue2026-01-03 04:57

It wasn’t just social issues. He did a lot of the legwork for making the party successful like research, scouting, cooking.

UMP45isnotflat2026-01-03 13:08

oh that sounds interesting! Thx! I will need to check it out!

(add to 400 other shows on my PTW..)

porpoiseoflife2026-01-02 22:16

Honestly, Kurt from The Unaware Atelier Meister pretty much deserved to get kicked out of his party. Sure he excelled at being in the logistics role, but his combat utility was a big fat zero. No offense, no defense, no buffs, no heals, and not even capable of getting the hell out of the way. Add on the fact that he had as much social awareness as a tree, and it would be a massive drag on any group.

SuperDabMan2026-01-02 22:28

That one was surprisingly good... not, like, *actually* good... but had a decent amount of humor if you can get over the "Kirt is amazing, but an idiot" gag. Yulicia is a plus.

porpoiseoflife2026-01-02 22:40

Yeah, I never could get over the "Kurt is amazing, but an idiot" gag. I kept waiting to try and get used to it, but I was just as annoyed with it in episode 12 as I was in episode 2.

APRengar2026-01-03 01:09

The problem I had with Unaware Atelier was that the "he's amazing, but an idiot" joke NEVER evolved.

I compare it with Let this Grieving Soul Retire, which used the same repeated joke (MC doesn't know what's happening, but things work out), but always ensured that that wasn't the end of the joke (outside of the first couple of times), it was always a set up for another character to react to it, which was then the joke, or the set up to the next joke.

thrown_away_apple2026-01-03 03:29

it wasn't because he was dumb. its that the things he does is just normal and common for people from his village so he doesn't know any better that he is extraordinary. nobody really tells him outright either.

Eddiero2026-01-05 13:38

they all think Kurt wouldn't believe them

PeaceAlien2026-01-02 23:13

There was the one time he considered combat mining instead of combat so he was able to mine the enemy. So it’s all mental in a way.

I could imagine in that world if you were infinite in one skill but you perceived everything you did under that skill you would be broken.

FremanBloodglaive2026-01-03 00:32

"Kurt, we need that Demon Lord's heart for a meal. Can you harvest it for us?"

"I'll be right back."

IceBlue2026-01-03 05:00

No heals is not true. His food heals. He can make potions that buff and heal.

Eddiero2026-01-05 13:38

Kurt was like Lloyd from "***Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies moved to a starter town"***

just didn't know their own strenght.

aciakatura2026-01-02 22:22

One of the main characters (not the main main character) in <Everyone is from Another World Except Me> had this happen. Unfortunately the series is cancelled.

RiCEslimbo2026-01-02 22:42

[deleted]

illogicalhawk2026-01-02 22:55

That was my first thought too; MC has to get into the party and be useful enough to stick with them for a certain amount of time, but then had to actively try to get kicked out.

Villag3Idiot2026-01-03 00:29

Super good series btw

IceBlue2026-01-03 05:01

I loved this one but I don’t know if it fits what OP is asking. He doesn’t deserve to get kicked because he’s bad. He gets kicked because that’s his goal.

Yash-12-2026-01-03 05:36

Best ongoing isekai manga

Classic-Box-39192026-01-03 06:28

Ive heard the romance in this one is handled terribly. Loved the first arc and looked into it a bit.

Skwalou2026-01-03 11:38

I wouldn't say it's handled terribly, it's just pretty much not addressed at all so far (which is definitely one of my major disappointments with that manga).

Kerzic2026-01-02 22:58

The protagonist in [Read My Gift LVL 9999 Unlimited Gacha](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZmK4UZAYNo) mix of being kicked out and assassinated. He started out weak when they went after him but survives an becomes incredibly OP pretty quickly, but the reason why they were trying to kill him was fear that he was potentially dangerous and could bring about terrible things for them, and it's possible they weren't wrong. He's not nice and pretty brutal in his revenge (pretty brutal, though those he goes after are also over-the-top evil), too.

But maybe the best abandoned by his friends and he's an awful person anime is [Overlord](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhlBqFj9kDw). He's on his favorite online game when it shuts down but none of his in-game friends/party members show up, so he's alone before being isekaied into the game setting. He was part of an hardcore evil-themed PvP guild playing a high-powered undead character and becomes that in the fantasy setting, and he and his minions engage in Nazi-level evil in the fantasy world. He becomes so bad and casually cruel, I stopped watching it because I felt like I was watching a fantasy anime version of Triumph of the Will.

kekehippo2026-01-03 00:39

He deserved to be kicked out of the party for lack or misunderstanding of his ability but he definitely did not deserve to be hunted like a dog.

Your Overlord synopsis is a bit misguided, one player showed up but everyone else besides him just moved on from the game. It's not much of a "abandoned" trope.

Kerzic2026-01-03 00:58

I didn't say he deserved to be hunted like a dog or mistreated. What I said what that they may not have been wrong that they needed to kill him because he's potentially dangerous to them. He was a genuine threat to them and their world order and their prediction that he was dangerous and could end the world, which is why they went after him, may not be wrong. He may be exactly what they feared he would become. Also not saying he's wrong for overturning their world order.

As for Overlord, from what I remember, at the very end, he was in the game alone when the game was shut down. I could be wrong about the details but other than the sycophant NPCs he's surrounded with, he was left alone by the other players. I'm not a huge Overlord fan (I stopped watching it) and only recommend it when it roughly meets someones ask criteria. If OP is sick of good MCs and wants an evil MC, I'm not sure one can top Overlord for that.

Wargod0422026-01-03 12:57

Overlord you're talking about episode 1. He was not dumped by his friends. The mmo was shutting down the servers; everyone else had quit the game. I've literally been him in that scene before, waiting for a server shutdown in a dying guild. They nailed the melancholy perfectly.

It is entirely a different kind of story and motivation.

Erick_Brimstone2026-01-03 04:39

Your interpretation of Overlord is just wrong. He isn't abandoned, everyone just move on. They don't play the game for various reasons, most are just that they don't have time for it. One even died. Still one spend time to login for a moment but doesn't stay because he need to sleep early because he works early in the morning.

Also momonga become evil due to influence of the NPCs and his undead trait

Kerzic2026-01-03 07:13

Why does it matter why he became evil?

Clos12392026-01-03 00:51

I saw one about a kid who was a beast tamer, that was good years ago. Over the years the genre has gotten dry.

On a side note has anyone see this Chillin' in My 30s After Getting Fired from the Demon King's Army. Pulled on some heart strings.

bahji2026-01-03 01:16

This actually happens in Mushoku Tensei and it is definitely well deserved.

Ebirah2026-01-03 01:18

Mushoku Tensei S2.

GaymersUnite2026-01-03 01:41

A Silent Voice, the MC bullied a deaf girl. He harassed her so much that she changed schools. Then, the students bullied him for it. Really good movie. Highly recommend

ZenoLegia222026-01-03 03:26

After reading most of the comments on here and understanding what that genre is about after watching a good amount of them, I don't think you'll find any anime that fits your description of "The party abandons the MC because he's genuinely bad". This is all because of the motivation/inspiration that the author of these series have before writing their work.

They usually like to tell a story of a loser being removed from a group or company that was originally thought to be great. Then the MC grows stronger and more skilled on their own volition or with another company in order to PROVE that the original group was wrong in the first place. This is just a revenge story in another sense at the end of the day.

Understanding that, you probably know why there are no series that intentionally depicts their MC in a bad light and the party's action to remove them is justified. Because why would they? Who would watch that kind of stuff? The target audience like to put themselves in the place of the MC and no one wants to be seen in a bad light.

Except for one series that was already mentioned here that deliberately used this troupe as a plot point instead of just a revenge story. The anime is "I Got a New Skill Every Time I Was Exiled, and after 100 Different Worlds, I Was Unmatched". I'm actually really excited for this to come out as it's somewhat to mock fun of this repetitive troupe after so long

Traveling_Solo2026-01-03 21:09

I see what you're saying but... "Nobody wants to be seen in s bad light" *looks over shoulder*. Redo of healer exists. Someone clearly wants to be seen in a bad light.

Aware_Step_61322026-01-03 07:54

These stories were a recent fad on the novel submission site "Let's Become a Novelist." They're based on an all-too-obvious wishful thinking template: "I got kicked out of the group through no fault of my own, which allows me to achieve easier solo success, while my former group finds themselves in a difficult position without me." They appeal to this type of readership. However, since a large readership equates to success, skilled novelists use this template to attract readers and write stories with a slight twist.

And because works with a large readership can be marketed as "a hit with this many readers" when seeking sponsorship, they have a better chance of being adapted into anime than original anime with only a proposal.

Ironically, as a result, there's been an increase in stories in recent years that continue on with unrelated plots, apart from an opening section created to attract readers with a title.

Darkfigure1452026-01-03 10:00

I don't know if it counts but in the anime and video game, Tales of the Abyss the main character gets kicked out of his party part of the way through the story cause he through his ignorance kills an entire city.

Fangzzz2026-01-03 10:52

Stretching the definition a bit, and it's a bit more complicated than that, but Yona of the Dawn.

AmariGemerald2026-01-03 12:30

This reminds me of a webtoon called Hardcore Levelling Warrior that revolves around a MMORPG. While MC doesnt get kicked from a party, he’s certainly described as an infamous, horrible, and selfish guy from the first chapter. He has a big fall from grace and has to work his way back up from the bottom.

kebb02026-01-03 15:27

A key part in these stories is that you are supposed to insert yourself as the MC in these stories and as such there are barely any story where the MC is bad because then sad lonely people who feel that the world is against them wouldn’t read them because that’s the only audience there is in Japan /s

I see some good suggestions in the comments, but the main part of why you have to ask about this in the first place is that a lot of publishers think like I wrote above, sadly. It’s the only explanation I have of the abundance of these kinds of stories with similar settings. A lot of people read manga or watch anime to escape the real world and when doing that, who would want to watch something horrible when you can be coddled into good feelings. I ironically understand the feeling and while I am incapable of inserting myself as any character, I mainly watch no stakes series because I am deeply tired and anxious about life in general. Knowing that nothing will go wrong is strangely comforting.

Arguably Redo of Healer is basically the hat you want, except it’s not about being banished from a party. But man oh man is the MC evil. I haven’t watched it yet because of the above, but I do enjoy a good story about evil villains.

SopmodTew2026-01-03 19:02

Is there actually an Isekai banished from the hero's party? Like, most "Banished from the hero's party" stories are set in a fantasy world, but I rarely see the MC being a character from earth, and getting banished from the hero's party.

Can't think of any on the top of my head. But I don't think the "banished" genre necessarily needs an isekai MC. I think one part of making a good "banished" show is that the MC already has a normal-ish life before they were kicked out of the party.
