Extroverted anime characters are the types to consistently stay motivated in order to achieve their desired goal and usually remain positive in the direst situations. More so, the louder ones certainly feel gratification in announcing their formidable strength at any given moment. However, despite being less obvious and more humble in their approach when it comes to their strength, introverts should never be underestimated, because more often than not, they show time and time again that they're the deadliest of them all.
Additionally, introverted anime characters are better at strategizing because they are more likely to observe and think before they act. Plus, because they're less vocal, their fighting style is unpredictable meaning their opponent will never truly know what they're thinking, or how they'll strike next.
10 Giyu Tomokia Is The Strong But Silent Water Hashira (Demon Slayer)
Giyu is known for his reserved personality and serious but emotionless facial expressions.

Despite keeping to himself, Giyu is one of the strongest characters of the series, and his Hashira status is a testament to his genius swordsmanship.
