His whole character, irresistable and honest smile, they way he speaks, but above all, his whole behaviour and the reason why he did what he did <3. I am going to watch Bleach during the summer break. Once I watch it depending on his character I may like him a lot :D As someone who loves Bleach, as well as Gin, trust me, you won’t regret watching Bleach during your summer break. |

Madara is a badass such a good villain, definitely one of my favourites :D Kaguya in Naruto is not a good villain, I really hated her as the final boss. |

People often talk about how a good story needs a good villain, but that's not true. It just needs some kind of challenge for the protagonist to overcome, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a conscious entity. If you look at a movie like Cast Away, there is no villain. It's just a guy struggling to survive on a desert island. The wilderness is his antagonistic force. The common understanding of the relationship is that the protagonist (the main character) is a good guy, the antagonist is a villain, and they fight. But understand the difference between a villain and an antagonist. An antagonist is simply anyone who is in opposition to the protagonist, and morality has nothing to do with it. In Toy Story, you might think Sid is the antagonist because he breaks toys, but he's not. He's a minor villain. The main villain is actually Woody, but he's also the protagonist, while Buzz is the antagonist. Buzz is the antagonist because he (unwittingly) steals the spotlight from Woody, and Woody is the villain because he tries to get rid of Buzz through dishonorable means. It's not uncommon for the protagonist to also be the villain, because what defines the protagonist is simply being the character who the story is about. In There Will Be Blood, Daniel Plainview is a villain protagonist, and the antagonist is Eli Sunday, the guy who runs the church. In A Clockwork Orange, Alex DeLarge is a villain protagonist, and the antagonists are Dr. Branom, the doctor who subjects Alex to the Ludovico treatment, and F. Alexander, who seeks revenge on Alex for raping his wife. When you think in terms of "good guy vs bad guy", you limit the dynamics of the story and oversimplify things. If the antagonist wants something bad, he should have a some justification for it. That justification doesn't have to be good, but it should at least be understandable to the audience because everybody sees themselves as the good guy, even villains (unless the point of your story is that the antagonist has accepted that they are a monster and embraced it as some kind of attack against a society he perceives as having wronged him, but that's getting off-topic). It's more useful to think in terms of "one guy vs another guy" because, when you boil the story down, the protagonist and antagonist usually want the same thing, just for different reasons. When a knight in shining armor goes to rescue a princess from an evil wizard, they are both fighting over the princess. When a police officer is trying to stop a gang leader, it's because they're both fighting for control of the streets. The protagonist is not a good guy. He's just who the story is about. The antagonist is not a villain. He's just the one who competes with the protagonist, usually over the same goal. That surely was more than 30 characters. |

| Gendo Ikari and Makishima Shogo come to mind Also I kind of forgot Akane Shinjo but she's also a great villain |

   Why don’t we become monsters and really mess up this awful world? Just destroy until there’s no more evil, no more sadness, no more anything… Wouldn’t that be great? |

| Kumagawa Misogi from Medaka Box but he barely appeared on the anime version and he was more awesome on the manga |
| here my favourite character list is mainly composed of vilains, (14/17) I removed the non villains: if you have questions I will happily answer all of these characters are great villains and if you like antagonists and such you will probably like these characters favourite ever    amazing    great         Nick-Knight said: his relation with kirei made him and kirei great characters. they are so interesting together!Gilgamesh. Badass, well-written, prideful, awesome characterization and superb design. |
BigAristotle94 said: I'm curious, what did you think of hunter x hunter and it's antagonists? they are up there(as you can see in my list on my post above if you're interested) in terms of great characters along with griffith and makishimaI sure agree but nobody said that a story NEEDED a good antagonist did they?Hikki_a1 said: My favourite villain/antagonist would have to be Pain from Naruto. I really liked his ideals and the way hee views things. Also his quotes are amazing :D Pain was an awesome antagonist! He was definitely my favorite in the series. My favorite villian all time though? To many to choose from. Makishima (Psycho Pass), Griffith (Berserk), or even Don Quixote (One Piece) are good contenders for me. I like them because they're ruthless bastards. There is no changing their ideologies mid fight. They're cold and calculating, just great villians all around. |

alphasiddy said: I got 2 main contenders for this. Dio Brando from Jojo All For One from My Hero Academia All for One is a pretty decent villain but I prefer Stain much more. |
|
Zehennagel said: griffith, yes he is griffith. griffith griffth I haven't read Beserk yet lol so I didn't know. |
|
| Not sure if these count but... 'Time' in Steins Gate. Ainz from Overlord (he's the protagonist). "Proper" answer- Aizen from Bleach, although he's cliche in several ways he was intimidating at least. Griffith from Berserk is a good choice too. |
| Gilgamesh, but he's infinity better when he's a protagonist. Otherwise I also love Madara, Aizen, and Frieza. |

Runaway_ said: I think mine is Chrollo Lucilfer from HxH or even the Phantom Troupe as a whole, they are fucking amazing. This. Glad someone named the Troupe. Honestly so well designed. |
| ladd russo from baccano makes me tingly |

Zehennagel said: I'd have to agree with your list in saying that Hisoka was definitely my favorite antagonist from the HxH series followed by Meruem and Chrollo. I also see you have Thorkell (or at least I think that's him) and Mozgus on your list which is funny because I just got their introductions in their respective manga and I immediately got a feeling they would be great antagonist! I'm really looking forward to seeing how they pan out. I knew Askelad would be a cunning bastard from the start. I need to get my hands on some more volumes. |
| Izaya Orihara from Durarara. I like how toys with people and just all around a very interesting villain. I like most of the villains from Boku no Hero Academia, especially Shigaraki. Gilgamesh is also a great villain, so vain and narcissistic. |
mine is kaiki deshu from monogatari series.  |

| Leleouch is my favorite antagonist. Just the way how he deals with everything even killing his own friends if they get on his way. ''The sacrifice for the grater good and the outcome justifies'' just makes him intriguing. |
''Enemies' gifts are no gifts and do no good.'' |
Mine is Takasugi Shinsuke from Gintama. Villain Tropes is often "bad guy" has a goal and "good guy" is the one who can defeat him or "good guy" has a goal "bad guy" is the obstacle that stopping him to making progress. I like tropes when protagonist and antagonist has same goal, but they choose different aproach of method to achieve it. First i think Takasugi has a trope of "bad guy" who want just to destroy everything, but as far i know, he has the same goal as Gintoki, as it to "save" their teacher. Their philosphy that they gained and believed is came from their past tragedy with their teacher. Takasugi's "destroy everything", Gintoki's "protect everything", or Katsura's "reform everything". |
 "What's wrong, Araragi-senpai ?" |
| for me, it is Tanya Degurechaff from Youjo Senki |

| Satsuki from Kill la Kill cus she is just beautiful In terms of writing and character development, I would say Corona in Soul Eater or the teams in Haikyuu. Prince Zuko from avatar definitely deserves to be at the top but I do no know how it fairs with the anime community lol. |
