| Kamui from Gintama. i like how hes always hungry for blood and his constant grin even as hes killing people makes him even more badass. i have some others worth mentioning ill add later but Kamui is def my top fav villain. |
 |
| Johan Liebert from Monster |
| Road Kamelot = Cute and Sinister. Great combo for a villain. |
| I have to agree with Light, Johan, and I'll add Lelouch. He's a must. |
| not really a villian but Angel from Angel Beats! She can tank anything (she was a villain in the beginning does that count)? |
| Takano from Higurashi Kai probably. That or I quite like Riko from Hidan no Aria. |
 |
| Orochimaru from naruto <3 he was a beast |
 |
| The Major from Hellsing. He desires war with no personal desire other than seeing the cruelty that comes with it. |
     |
| From FMA: Brotherhood, Wrath and Pride. From One Piece, Akainu. From Trigun, Knives. From Hajime no Ippo, Hawk. From Kaiji, Hyoudou. How could I forget, from Beck, Leon Skykes |
| Enel from One Piece. Because he is God. |

insan3soldiern said: Yeah, the way you word it makes it oh so very confusing. I'm playing Xenosaga, I don't have much brain capacity to spare. Thumbs up to the Xenosaga game. Too bad the anime version was horrible in comparison to me. Also too bad the game didn't get to get the full 5 games it was supposed to. Hmm...On topic...maybe... Eh, I'll go with what someone else said and list Takano from Higurashi Kai. From the first moment I saw her, I saw those perma-downcast eyes in that shape and suspected her...of what I suspected her, I don't know...but I suspected her of SOMETHING! |
Kanzaki_H_Aria said: not really a villian but Angel from Angel Beats! She can tank anything (she was a villain in the beginning does that count)? No, Kanade was not a villain at all, you could say though that her clones were. |
| My top 3 would probably be: Johan Liebert from Monster Kainuma from Himitsu: Top Secret The Major from Hellsing Ultimate |
| 私のホバークラフトは鰻でいっぱいです |
| Johan from Monster L from Death Note |
| I couldn't say who the best anime villain is, and there are so many villains but some of my favourites are; Largo - Bubblegum Crisis OVA. Powerful, highly intelligent, manipulative and regards everyone and everything as disposable, and wipes out several large buildings in several major cities across the planet merely to make a point. Reika Kitami - Bible Black first series. A seductive wielder of magic, willing to sacrifice ( literally ) to achieve her goal, yet also in some respect she is a victim who tragically has been manipulated by a demonic entity ( she was bleeding to death, it offered her survival ) to become a similar tormentor to the ones that originally tried to sacrifice her to that same entity. Cell - Dragonball Z. The best villain of the entire Dragonball saga, and the one opponent Goku never beat ( i ignore GT ). Kagato - Tenchi Muyo! first series. A classic villian, sophisticated, uncaring, exceptionally powerful, and a scientist in the purest sense that he has no morality to constrain him in his methods to obtain information. I would say no other villain who came after or in any of the other versions of the series have really measured up to him, even though they might be more powerful. |
| Light Yagami. Kamui from Gintama. Aizen...just cause I'm a silly goose. |
 |
| probably not a well known one Elfen Lied-Chief Kakuzawa |
| Kamui from Gintama is a freaky mofo! Seriously! He just smiles all the time, even when he's killing someone or if he gets hurt! Seriously terrifying guy! Also I would say Light is one of the best villains out there! Aaand Aizen probably...cuz seriously, he's immortal. And not the kind of "oh i'm immortal, except apparently you're able to kill me anyway" he can't die! And he's super powerful...and can be really creepy sometimes... (He's definitely gonna come back...) |
| http://myanimelist.net/character/3048/Richard_Guyot I like his pompadour, how he presents himself, his presence, his imagery, way of talking, etc is deserving of my #1 coolest villain. Other than him no one else comes to mind. Umm...hmmm...okay. Most of the hentai guys too. |
| It's Ladd Russo all the way! |

I would say no other villain who came after or in any of the other versions of the series have really measured up to him, even though they might be more powerful. I totally agree with you in regards to both Largo and Kagato as they are among my top favorite anime villians. As for who else ranks up there as my favorite anime villains are: Murakumo of Blue Seed-He is ruthless and ambitious as well as dangerous, Murakumo is quick to action and has a certain level of confidence in himself to acheive his goals. Even he has the upper hand on series protagonist Kusanagi in their confrontations with one another. Dr. Kazutaka Muraki of Yami no Matsuei-His dangerous and seductive personality is what makes him an incredible villain. Even though he has done a number of atrocious acts in his lifetime, Muraki is the kind of villain that has an alluring aura about him that is irrestistable. Kazukiyo Gowa of Gasaraki-An ambitious individual with an absolute cunning nature that will do anything to achieve his goals, the reason why I like Kazukiyo is that he is highly intelligent and knowledgable about the world and he is the kind of man that makes you think of the world around you, as the world of Gasaraki is no different than our own(sans the supernatural stuff). |
| For me: I agree also from ChibiSamurai: |
| --- |
| I nominate Kazutaka Hyoudou (from the anime Kaiji) a Wealthy socialite and president of the powerful financial consulting firm "Love Emperor", not to mention owner and sponsor of underground gambling tournaments like those on board Espoir. Hyōdō Kazutaka is believed to be seventy years old and worth several hundred billion yen. Driven mad by wealth, conventional hobbies fail to entertain him, so he funds gambling tournaments to watch the destitute of society struggle against overwhelming terror and despair. He basically tortures people physically and mentally for his own sick amusement. |

| Naraku =D |
i love him but he was bad! for my one of the best is Hisoka from HunterxHunter. |
 |
| Too many to list, but I'll give it a go: Light Yagami (Death Note) - the first time I watched a villain protagonist and it was awesome. Arlong and Crocodile (One Piece) - Both cruel, sadistic bastards, both really stylish - they did their job very well. Oda Nobunaga (Sengoku Basara) - Really awesome megalomaniac with a badass theme song and an even more badass voice actor. King Bradley (FMA:B) - A villain who pawns... Izaya Orihara (Durarara) - if you could call him a villain Vicious (Cowboy Bebop) - another dangerous and stylish guy with katana and vulture... Gilgamesh (Fate/Stay Night) - King of heroes! |
| The ones who actually kill the main hero and he/she stay killed |
| I dont see how Light from death note is a villain He was just trying to make the world a better place |
Jaconator said: The ones who actually kill the main hero and he/she stay killed That means there are no "best" anime villians... BECAUSE ANIME IS TURNING INTO FREAKING DISNEY! see: Soul Eater. |
| Saya from Blood-C. |
fuck everything and rumble |
LEGOF said: In my opinion, Gauron of Full Metal Panic is. He might not be the best villain in terms of plotting or brains per se, but he has enough brains and physical power to prove to be a running threat to Sousuke. This x10 |
| Light from Death Note has to be my all time fav. After that it has to be a tie between Izaya from Durarara and Kyuubey from Madoka. Don't know if you'd consider them villains but you've got to love how they manipulate people. |
| Light Yagami from Death note. |
 |
| Akio from Revolutionary Girl Utena. YES! he is a villain, not some evil main character. He is the ONLY villain I've ever hated on all 600-700 animes I've ever watched.  |

| "If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine" When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one For the Union makes us strong |
| Griffith from Berserk Hidan from Naruto Saga from Saint Seiya |
| Griffith, from Berserk... followed by Johan Liebert, from Monster... possibly followed by Orihara Izaya and Ladd Russo (purely for their entertainment value) |
 |
| Akio was awesome, doesn't deserve to be in this thread. |
fuck everything and rumble |
| Hao Asakura from Shaman King. The one villain I loved the most. |
 |
RamenSoup43 said: JESUS CHRIST! That scared me. |
I'm sad that nobody mentioned this fellow yet Kumojacky is what many would refer to as Kamina among villains. Probably one of the most awesome bad guys in anime ever. |
 |
RamenSoup43 said: Nice reference... That reminded me: Until his true motives were clear, the Laughing Man (GITS) was also a pretty good antagonist, though I don't think you could call him a villain. |
