Him Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Good?[]
In General[]
- As a hunter, he has repeatedly saved people from various dark forces. He was also a very wise hunter, and his wisdom often helped other heroes in the fight against the unknown.
- He was a "second father" to Dean and Sam, and protected them as his own children, and also taught them a lot that he could do himself.
- Unlike Dean and Sam, he is able to show compassion to some monsters that do not pose a threat.
- Despite not being as admirable as Dean or Sam, it’s unfair to compare them to due Bobby being old and not being able to get help from people like Castiel and being a less experienced hunter. Not to mention, a lot of Dean and Sam’s admirable deeds only happened because Bobby gave them information that they didn’t know, and he along with John mentored the brothers, allowing him to stand out more than John and have his own actions that allow him to pass the standard.
In the Past[]
- He was protecting his mother from his tyrant father, who was constantly beating them up. And later Bobby killed him with a shotgun blast. Although it was his mother's protection, and his father deserved it, Bobby still felt remorse from it, and did not want to be the same father, and did not want to have children from it.
- Although he killed his wife, he did it involuntarily, because a demon possessed her, and Bobby at that time did not know how to expel a demon from a human body.
- He also knew John Winchester and often helped him. In particular, he helped to make protective boxes for cursed objects and took his sons with him when John went hunting alone.
- He spent more time with Dean and Sam than their own father John, which gave John a reason to quarrel with Bobby.
Season 1-2[]
- He helped Sam and Dean capture the demoness Meg and perform an exorcism on her.

However, the Winchesters completed the ceremony anyway.
- He gave Dean and Sam some of the items from the list, which, as it turns out, are necessary to summon a demon.
- He lets the Winchester brothers take his van when they go in search of Ellen Harwell.

Season 5[]
- Although he was offended by Sam, it was justified because Sam did not listen to him and Dean, and accidentally freed Lucifer.

- He helped Sam and Castiel lock Dean up so he couldn't say yes to Michael.
