Bando may not be the nicest guy in the bunch, but he's got the balls to do something very few do; fight against the Diclonious. Those who are unfamiliar with Elfen Lied would think of these horned little girls as nothing more than that, but the ones shown are all monsters with no regard for human life, decapitating and ripping apart even children with their transparent limbs. But this doesn't scare Bando one bit. Even with the loss of his eyes and a few body parts, he continues to clean the beach so he can have a rematch with Lucy, preventing her from throwing any objects with her 2 meter vectors.
Despite Bando's rage filled attitude and personality, he is not completely devoid of human emotion. He has saved Mayu's life and even showed sympathy to Nana who did not want to fight despite her Dicloni instincts activating a few moments earlier. He also has at least some morals as shown by his disgust of the mysterious man's perverted actions and keeping alive the torso of a Silpelit.
He's also pretty damn durable. Being able to survive multiple run-ins with the horned psychos is nothing short of a miracle. Even being torn in half to save Mayu didn't stop him from getting a new bionic lower half.
Yes, Bando's badassery and inability to die along with his deceptively heroic exploits make him a man to be admired. Afterall, an anti-hero is still a hero.
