| I fell in love with Akira Ishida's voice after hearing him voice Saralegui. I love how ambitious, evil, cunning, sly and manipulative Saralegui is and Akira Ishida did the perfect job of expressing that. |

| Takasugi Jay Jiro voicing Pegasus J. Crawford (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters). A very unique voice acting, I read a comment somewhere describing it as resembling a "drunken gay samurai". |

Paul St. Peter as Cherubimon in Digimon Frontier.
| @Serafos He also voices Xemnas in Kingdom Hearts and for a series that can have very flat English voice direction at other points, his voice is pretty sublime in fitting the character: https://youtu.be/ah6GbkBoEsw?si=PfI18SfIpMT8oPXp |

| Toshiyuki Morikawa as Naraku in Inuyasha, hands down. His voice work and the intensity which exuded from that character's portrayal and just anything they did in the story, even when seemingly talking about more minor or mundane things, is one of, admittedly many, things which elevated the series so much for me as such a powerful and visceral experience. Along with Kappei Yamaguchi's (Inuyasha) and Satsuki Yukino's (Kagome) own vocal performances. The voice work in the series as a whole is fucking phenomenal, but those characters are at the center of it, and for a villain role, Naraku's every word was typically made to feel like acid or bile being choked and spat out and given this infuriatingly condescending, contemptuous, sinister air that made it feel like reality that you couldn't trust this character to tell you the time of day without some devious ploy encased within their words. He could read a self-help audiobook on meditation practices or a list of ingredients on the food package labeling of a box of saltine crackers in this voice for this role and still sound intense and dialed up to 11. When I watched Kenpuu Denki Berserk for the first time a few years later, I had absolutely no clue throughout the entirety of the series that he also voiced Griffith. To me the voices sounded nothing alike, but upon finding out that piece of information after the fact, I did go back and revisit it, obviously looking for that, and it does become more noticeable in the later episodes after some radical changes to the character of Griffith and the associated tumultuous plot events. And then also again he appeared as Bondrewd in Made in Abyss, much closer, I thought, in form to his voice for Naraku. It's such a fantastic voice. There have been other supporting characters (including non-villainous ones) I've heard him voice too, like the father of the reincarnated boy in the The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat and things like that, and on those occasions too I'm always surprised to hear his voice "randomly" surface. It's so memorable and distinct to me (except I still think as pre-fall Griffith it came across as something entirely other). I also find it interesting how there's a thematic link, in the way I see it, with those three villains. He's acted in a lot of other stuff obviously, but those are three pretty major (popular and/or successful for their day) series and the villains in a way actually have a lot in common in terms of their conception of themselves and the world. All either want from the beginning, or are at least willing to after certain events change them, to essentially transcend and cast off their humanity to seek access to some raw cosmic power like infinite knowledge, immortality, etc. All see their humanity as an impediment and limitation to either personal achievement and progress or, collectively, progress as a whole species. With some its manifestation is portrayed as more innately selfish (Naraku) and others (Bondrewd) more a selfless researcher/pioneer spirit, but they're all very much on the same wavelength in this respect, and I find it in some ways admirable and awe-inspiring that they're willing to engage in any large scale atrocity to advance this. |

This may be obvious from a glance at my profile but Sawashiro, Miyuki's performance as Kirari Momobami in Kakegurui has stuck with me for years. She is my favorite female seiyuu and to have her voice one of my favorite antagonists was an absolute trip. Her work on Demon Slayer's Entertainment District arc was incredible as well, in my opinion made Daki the demon more believable + the emotional scenes hit even harder. Overall she has a great voice for female antagonist type characters   |

@Horizon248 Daki is such a great vilainess, i loved every second of her on screen and Sawahiro's performance was immaculate. |
| There are plenty but right now, Aizen comes to mind. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |

| Always the goofy ones for me. Specifically Shinigami from Yume no Crayon Oukoku jumps out as my favorite villain character. Dude can be serious and evil, or just plain stupid and relatable, all without losing the ability to snap right back to serious and evil. Ken Yamaguchi made this villain as fun as he could, and his performance kinda makes me want to check out other stuff he voiced in. |
Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.  |
