| if i had to pick one, it would probably be griffith |
 |
Yes, he is, he isnt a villain at all.. |
| I have two favorite villains! Tyki from D.Gray-Man and Kougaiji from Saiyuki. They both have a lot in common being that they have the social respect of their friends and family. It makes them feel more human than just a villain I guess instead of a bland, bloodthirsty no reason really behind sort of villain. In fact, I like these villains more than any of the other characters in their respected series. It's crazy that someone can make a villain beat out all the other characters in their likeness. But I have crazy respect to the creators who can make a believable and fun villain. |

| Griffith. I hate Griffith with a burning passion. But I also love him with the same passion. He's a character that makes me feel so many things at the same time. He's an amazing character/villain/antagonist/whatever you want to classify him as. Johan Liebert is more an antagonist than a straight up villain. But he's also amazing. He's a character that legitimately scares me, and I kept holding my breath during several of his scenes. At the same time, I get drawn in by his charisma, and sometimes I forget what a monster he really is. He is fascinating throughout the entire series. Honourable mentions in no particular order: Yoshikage Kira Makishima Shougo Rezo the Red Priest Satan Makoto Shishio Legato Bluesummers |
| Makishima from Psycho-Pass and King Meruem from Hunter x Hunter, there are no other options |
| Many people has mentioned Kira from JoJo. And while I consider him a solid villain overall, I'll have to give a shout-out to Pucci from Stone Ocean, whom I consider the 2nd best villain from the series. He's probably the most sympathetic antagonist of the manga, with an understandable and selfless goal with the well-being of humankind in mind, who makes him contrast with the villains from previous Parts, who were selfish and whose goals were of personal achievement, while also being ruthless and cruel in his methods, to remind the audience that he is the bad guy all along. It helps he is a competent villain, and that he is a badass, cool man of faith, characters whom I love a lot. Other antagonist I like who I think are worth mentioning are: -Amshel and Diva from Blood+ -Bondrewd from Made in Abyss -The Earl and the Noah Family from D. Gray Man -Wrath from Fullmetal Alchemist (manga/Brotherhood version) -Isley and Riful from Claymore -Kaiki, Ougi and from Monogatari -Kirei from Fate -Kumagawa and Najimi from Medaka Box -Medusa from Soul Eater |

| Tough for me to decide between Shougo Makishima, Meruem, and Griffith. All are amazingly developed villains in their own ways. |
serg90 said: I mean his description is litteraly "A humanist who is hopelessly in love with cruelty, savagery, and all the worst aspects of human nature, Makishima is a manipulative anarchist who is just as ruthless in his schemes as he is in physical combat" HOW IN THE HELL can people like us who love antagonists and all those sorts of characters NOT be SUPER interested in him?Makishima Shougo easily. He has every quality that a good villain can have: 1. Does brutal / disturbing crimes. 2. Smart and sophisticated. 3. Has quotes to remember. 4. You can sympathize with and even wish he would succeed, epically when you discover about his real goal. 5. Great design. His absence in season 2 just emphasizes how awesome he was. psycho pass is pretty good, makishima makes it GREAT. |
| Normally I would say Gilgamesh or Dio but in this season I gotta say Reo and Mabu aka gay cops from Sarazanmai |

| For whatever reason in anime in general just doesn't really tend to do compelling villains well. That being said Mother Krone from Promised Neverland was really well done easily the only villain from an anime that I've ever found frightening. Also L from Death Note, Shishigami from Iyuashiki, and Satsuki from Kill La Kill all had absolutely fantastic rivalries with their respective protagonists. I also very much liked One For All from My Hero Academia even though he wasn't there for very long. |
| i would have to say griffith. L was interesting as well so maybe him too |

Kean said: Shishio Makoto from Rouroni Kenshin. Also I like as well Dio Brando, Kira Yoshikage, Shinsuke Takasugi, Johan Liebert and Kuroro Lulcifer Chrollo Lucilfer is such a badass and I want to see him fight properly. |
|
Chrollo Lucilfer from Hunter X Hunter. |
Yh that would so awesome, can't wait. |
|
| Hmm, that's a tough question since I have a lot of favorite villains, but if I have to choose one, I guess that would be Shishio as my number one favorite villain. He looks menacing, his personality is badass, his sword techniques are cheap and brutal, and I also sympathize with his ideology. I also love the part after he dies, when he failed to conquer Japan, he set his sights in conquering hell instead. So badass! |
| Obito from Naruto:Shippuuden. Excellent backstory setup, fall from grace, and redemption. |
  slightly rusty at gfx ‧⁺✧(˶´⚰︎`˵)⁺‧ forum set by usagimodoki-!! ♥♥ |
ZephyrRuBiX said: Obito from Naruto:Shippuuden. Excellent backstory setup, fall from grace, and redemption. He was one of the best Naruto villains/antagonists. I really like his character and his backstory was really sad. |
|
| I know the title says about anime, but I can't help myself. Kumagawa Misogi from Medaka Box. |

  |
| Cell from Dragon Ball. Purely for nostalgic reasons. |
gaq_t said: Garou from OPM is pretty awesome, I like his reasoning for wanting to be a "Monster" instead of human too. He is growing on me very quickly, he is such a badass! |
|
| Hands down The Major from Hellsing Ultimate. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Griffith became my favorite last two weeks. |
| Obviously it's Johan Liebert from Monster,no one comes close to it. |
 |

|
| Ougi from Monogatari or Gilgamesh from Fate/Zero I didn't like Gilgamesh in UBW but I found him to be really well written in Zero. |
  【🇳🇪🇼 🇵🇷🇴🇫🇮🇱🇪 🇩🇪🇸🇮🇬🇳】 I accept all friend requests! - Feel free to add me! |
| Shogo Makishima from Psycho-Pass is one of the best written "villains" in any medium. |
 |
Melody2222 said: There's a lot. Griffith and Johan Liebert are creepy but I can't help but feel bad for them because of their past... I thought that Kira in Jojo was legit scary. That stand was something. I don't necessarily agree with Stain from Boku no hero academia but his reasoning is interesting. A lot of MAL users have said Griffith and now I need to read Berserk. |

Vorpality said: Shogo Makishima from Psycho-Pass is one of the best written "villains" in any medium. I need to watch Psycho-Pass and Shogo Makishima has such a cool character design :D |

Melody2222 said: you need to read it. the anime doesn't even come close to the manga, skips parts off, visualy the manga is a masterpiece, and only the first 13 volumes have been properly adaptated(out of 40!!)Hikki_a1 said: A lot of MAL users have said Griffith and now I need to read Berserk. The first anime adaptation isn't bad, if you want to give it a try. :) |
| My favorite is without a doubt Johan Liebert. I also quite like Fuhrer Bradley, Shougo Makishima, Meruem, Gilgamesh, Obito, and more. |

| Those who said Johan Liebert is the best antagonist you're . . . . . true men of culture indeed. |
| Ruler - She is awesome fighting again Kottomi (awesome fight btw)... also I like Gilgamesh as Antagonist. |

| Mereum, the 'O' (HxH)is my favourite. Watching him develop emptionally and mentally was one of the thrilling experience I had in my life. |
~~ofcourse I talk to myself, sometimes I need expert advice~~ |
