Kenshin had a pretty messed up life up until the end of the manga.
Both his parents die when he’s only 7 years old.
He was sold into slavery when he was just 8 years old.
His only friends are killed right in front of him.
He becomes an assassin at age 14, and kills several people. Something he has to live with for the rest of his life.
He finds out that he was the one that killed his Wife’s fiancee.
He finds out that his wife was actually helping to kill him, at first.
He kills his wife by accident.
People are out kill him because of his actions during the war.
His brother- in law shows up to make him suffer, and leads him to think his “girlfriend has been murdered.
I’m sure there’s something that I’m leaving out.

Well it's either swing the sword or have his soul devoured. That in of itself is sad, and Gutts isn't always like that (getting thrills from killing), he goes through changes throughout the series.

A. He's an angel , a biological offshoot of man which is intent on eliminating 99% of mankind.
B. He (basically) rapes the Evangelions will several times.
C. In the words of 70's Blaxploitation Grey Fox "He's one cold motherf*cker, ya dig ? "
D. He caused an ensuing wave of never ending slash fics, that alone makes him evil incarnate.

That may be true but I think the saddest thing about Gutts is that his show isn't complete.
That makes me feel real bad for him. He deserves a complete show. 🙁

Specifically because of D 😉
I have to say that I feel bad for Euphemia from Code Geass. That was depressing, at least to me.
Spoiler:
Being forced to kill the people you hold so much hope for (albeit accidentally through the Geass), then getting shot by your own cousin. That's tough. It's a good thing Suzaku didn't tell her the truth when she died, at least.
