Among Us is a widely successful murder mystery video game premised on a group of crewmates trying to determine and eject the "Imposters," aliens disguised as crewmates whose exclusive goal is to sabotage the ship and murder everyone onboard... all while remaining undetected.
There are many anime characters that would be well suited to this task even without using their special abilities to facilitate their efforts. By identifying which of them would be able to blend in among the crewmates and the ways they'd avoid suspicion, we can better understand their chicanery.
10 Aizen Was Excellent At Deflecting Blame (Bleach)
Aizen was a masterful manipulator who didn't need special powers in order to turn friends and comrades against each other. He was able to convince the Soul Society that Rukia was guilty for the crimes that he committed, and they were only the wiser when he was already prepared to leave.
Subsequently, it'd be relatively trivial for him to frame others for the kills that he made, providing convincing arguments as to why they're guilty. The villain's strategy would be especially effective if ejects do not confirm the veracity of his claims.
9 Fraudrin Was Brilliant At Convincing The Holy Knights Of Who He Was (Seven Deadly Sins)
While Fraudrin's ability to possess others may provide an unfair advantage, he wouldn't need it to make for a convincing imposter. He managed to persuade the holy knights of his identity as Hendrickson regardless of the uncharacteristic requests he made of them.
Furthermore, the demon has proven adept at winning over a crowd, especially since he could turn the kingdom's blades against the previously revered Seven Deadly Sins. It follows that few would suspect him of being an imposter until it was too late.
8 Lisa Lived As A Convincing Imposter For Years (Fire Force)
Lisa lived with Vulcan for years in order to win his trust and seize the Amaterasu blueprint as instructed by her White-Clad master, Giovanni. Though she may not be particularly intelligent or able to deflect blame, she has proven an ability to avoid accusations by keeping her head down and laying low.
By commenting passively every so often and otherwise remaining in the background, her beguiling presence would exonerate her from whatever suspicion her actions generated. Her success is especially ensured since she ultimately fulfilled her mission on her benefactor's behalf.
7 Kabuto Was A Professional Spy Who Could Blend In Wherever He Went (Naruto)
Before he became the power-mad necromancer seen in the Fourth Shinobi War, Kabuto was a proficient spy. Not only did he work on behalf of the Foundation for Danzo Shimura, but he also managed to convince Team Seven of his identity, allowing him to follow them without suspicion.
Moreover, the medical ninja has demonstrated excellent subtlety, sneaking into a Konoha hospital undetected and nearly claiming Sasuke's life. It follows that he'll know when and where to make a kill without being reported and to always have a convincing alibi on hand.
6 Oingo Convinced The Crusaders That He Was Jotaro (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)
Aside from the utility of his Stand (allowing him to disguise himself as anyone), Oingo was a far more capable manipulator than his garrulous demeanor might suggest. He managed to convincingly pose as Jotaro and infiltrate the Crusaders' car without notable suspicion from Polnareff or Joseph Joestar.
Though his plan to give Kujo an exploding fruit would ultimately backfire, his ability to navigate adversaries without detection would be an amazing asset to facilitate a perfect imposter victory.
5 Satsuki Was Clever At Faking Tasks (Kill La Kill)
Satsuki Kiryuin was instructed by Ragyo to create Honnoji Academy and spread the influence of Life Fibers. Though she would feign obedience when assembling the school, it was ultimately for an entirely different purpose than the one they'd agreed to.
She demonstrated a useful quality for any aspiring imposter - the ability to bide one's time by faking tasks. When the hour came for Satsuki's betrayal, even Ragyo was surprised. Unfortunately, her duplicity didn't make a difference since she couldn't kill her mother in a single hit.
4 Hisoka Infiltrated The Most Powerful Criminal Enterprise On The Planet (Hunter X Hunter)
Hisoka may not have had any innate stealth skills, but he was conniving enough to infiltrate the Phantom Troupe (a criminal organization dedicated to secrecy and loyalty) without any of its members being the wiser. This was in spite of the fact that he did not assist them at the battle for Yorknew.
Considering his unquestioned absence, we can discern that Hisoka would also be proficient at faking tasks. Since he bode his time until Chrollo was separated from his comrades before confronting him, it follows that he'd employ a similar strategy for picking off crewmates.
3 Bertholdt Was The Best Spy The Warriors Had (Attack On Titan)
Bertholdt was the only member of the Warriors to make for a formidable spy. He wasn't overtly obvious about his identity like Annie was, nor did he crack under pressure as Reiner did. Hoover's only blunder was when Marco overheard his conversation with the Armored Titan.
To amend his fluke, he worked with his comrades to engineer Marco's demise, feeding him to a pure titan so that the Scouts wouldn't investigate his corpse. This entails that he'd be able to responsibly kill his targets in a location where their bodies would be difficult to find and report.
2 Hawks Was Clever Enough To Infiltrate The League Of Villains (My Hero Academia)
Hawks was specifically requested to join the League of Villains as a spy by his superiors on account of his believable history and high capacity for manipulation. After being rigorously tested by Dabi, the avian hero managed to join one of the most sinister organizations on the planet.
Regardless of the evildoers' reservations, he quickly adapted to his new surroundings and illustrated an ability to shrug off intense scrutiny.
1 Light Yagami Was Able To Last As A Killer Despite Being Called Out For His Actions (Death Note)
Light Yagami was an intelligent man who managed not only to avoid being revealed as the Kira killer, but also to lead the investigation intent on hunting him down. This was in spite of the fact that L knew of his treachery since their first interaction and often cautioned the other members of the task force against him.
Considering that he was able to avoid suspicion even after L's murder, it follows that he could kill anyone who might attempt to accuse him in an Among Us game, employing convincing alibis and scapegoats to ensure his secret remains safe.
