Unfortunately negative prompts don’t work half of the time on Google. As many in this comment section have noted.

Google will nag you and not show them, but if you press the “I really mean what I searched for” thing then it usually works for me. I just wish Google would trust that I know what I typed.

I just tried the search prompt I wrote and it worked flawlessly. Idk what the issue is.

No, it wasn’t. Still works perfectly for me (even to the point that there are zero results if the exact term simply doesn’t exist.)

Didn’t even need the quotations and google knows I’m a weeb, that person is just making a mountain of a mole hill because the newest character with the same name is more popular.

This is because google, surprise surprise, actually knows who you are.
I have very similar results looking for things like Dota 2 hero names. It knows Bane is the nightmare purple monster, not the masked walking meme batman villain, and I don’t have to specify.
What google is TRULY garbage at is answering questions.
