| My picks would have to be: 1. Ai Magase (Babylon) 2. Isabella (Yokosoku Neverland) 3. Rui (KNY) 4. Askeladd (Vinland Saga) |
 |
| Yeah I'll go with Askeladd too definitely. |
| Ai is definitely a cool villain only wish we get a proper explanation behind her motives though |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| LOL, why would you pick Rui instead of Muzan who makes everyone crap their pants. |
 |
I'm really mad you beat me to it. But here's a pic.  Diabolical son of a bitch...xD |
  |
| I don't know about the best but the ones that stood out to me was Bitch from Shield Hero and Muzan Kibutsuji from Demon Slayer. |
"Perfection is perception. For me, humanity's imperfections is what makes it perfect"  |
| Probably that bitch from Shield Hero |
 |
| 1. Garou (opm) 2. The Beast Titan (aot) 3. Ai Magase (babylon) 4. Mogami (mob) 5. Askeladd (vinland) |
 |
| Isabella, Beast Titan and Askeladd. I´d consider them also the best villians this decade. |
| :v |
| I legitimately cant think of one this year, nothing really pops. The main villain from yaiba had a pretty damn great first appearance and a couple of decent scenes after that so I guess him simply cause no one else really left an impression. Zeke from snk seems cool but I need to know more about him to really say hes a good villain |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Looking back again I don't really watch series that have overarching villain this year. But if I have to choose then I will say this guy. He is just sad creature destined to ruin the moment of his creation. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| 1) Magase Ai for sure, everyone who watched Babylon will get Johan's (Monster) vibes from this one. 2) Askeladd (Perfect Villan tbh) 3) Garou (Good potential, not executed well) 4) Tsukasa (Good potential, not executed well) |
 |
| Bench-kun is obviously the best villain. The fucker never leaves joro alone. |
 |
| I have seen 60 series in 2019, so far. And as far as villains are concerned, I'm disappointed. Villain whose powers I liked, not his personality: Kibutsuji Muzan (Kimetsu no yaiba) Villain that I hated and wanted to die a horrible death: Toyotomi Hideo (not the main villain but I hated this guy more) (YU-NO) |
 |
| Rui isn't even the best villain in his own show. Honestly this year had weak villains. Isabella and Muzan were cool I guess. Garou too but honestly he felt more like a protagonist (and he sure as hell was a better one than Saitama). |
 |
| Magase is so intriguing character. It is either her or Isabella. |
 |
| lot of ppl talking about muzan but didn't get anything special from him I haven't watched much from the recent year but garou would be a good pick for me, he's really inspiring for a villain |
| Anotsu Kagehisa Zeke These 2 fvckers do their job perfectly in being evil villains, can you really empathize with them? damn, they are so evil and psychos. |
    |
| I Will say Askeladd, but to be honest there is no good guy on Vinland Saga, so him being bad in Thorfinn's perspective because he killed his dad is kinda weak. For me he is just a great anti hero. Isabella, Garou and Zeke are also not-so villain. All three of them are more of an anti hero or tragic hero than anything. So for me there wasn't anything special this year. |
| Is Askeladd supposed to be called a villain? I'd say he's antihero |

| 1. Askechadd 2. Garou 3. Bench-kun 4. Episode delays |
| Similar as others, Bench-kun, Garou, Askeladd, Isabella, Overhaul too.. I agree that Garou and Isabella aren't necessary villains, but they are antagonist nevertheless. While I think Mogami was great villain, his screentime didn't feel enough compared to many other villains in the list. Same with Muzan for me, I can't grasp his character just yet. |
Superns18 said: 4. Askeladd (Vinland Saga) I don't even think he qualifies as "villain". He's just a gray character with his own interests, like anybody else in the game of viking thrones. Implying he is a "villain" merely says you root for somebody else - which I do not. My boi is Askeladd, he is the Seinen part in the series which I would have dropped without him. |

| Suishou Hakamada from Granbelm!!! Suishou just went for the loli and kissed the shit out of her!!! She wanted to taste the loli and fucking took it!!,,YEEES!!!

| Magase ai, she is like a female version of Johan from Monster. |
| Considering I'm skipping this season and there were only 4 shows I finished out of the entire year, I'm guessing that limits my options a bit. I'm gonna go with Reo, Mabu and the Otters from Sarazanmai, or Touichirou Suzuki from Mob Psycho 100 S2 |

They are the one true villains, ITS CALLED HENTAI AND ITS ART Shit, how could I forget the biggest villain of them all, Anitwt. Kaiser-chan said: LOL, why would you pick Rui instead of Muzan who makes everyone crap their pants. Because we're basing on the anime, and Muzan has done fuck all in the anime. Even in the Manga it's Douma for me. bakarlolite said: Ai Magase from Babylon is by FAR the best villain IMO... its a shame it got a 6 week delay but I highly recommend checking out Babylon if you haven't yet. Ai might be one of my favorite villains of all time now way too few Ai recommendations. The 6 week delay is going to kill any momentum the series has which blows my mind. |

That's a lot more than Rui who got one shot by Giyu. |

I'd say he's antihero Up to your own interpretation, villain for me. I don't really like the term villain at all, and Askeladd and the Vinland story and cast as a whole are remote enough from simple black and white scenario to enjoy me. I stay away from stories which do little more than setting up an ultimate evil guy to destroy in the hero's journey who is bad because he can (which means practically all shounen). I'm more from the school of thought which uses JRR Martin's definition We all have good in us and we all have evil in us, and we may do a wonderful good act on Tuesday and a horrible, selfish, bad act on Wednesday, and to me, that’s the great human drama of fiction. I believe in gray characters, as I’ve said before. We all have good and evil in us and there are very few pure paragons and there are very few orcs. A villain is a hero of the other side, as someone said once, and I think there’s a great deal of truth to that, and that’s the interesting thing. Simple thought experiment, figure you were a German neo-nazi. Who would be your hero in Inglourious Basterds? Whatever a future Askeladd does, as long as it is consistent with his inner drivers and goals, he is not villain to me. Just a gray character acting to further his own interests. |

| @inim well that's you chief. That was my take on the situation. Kaiser-chan said: Superns18 said: Because we're basing on the anime, and Muzan has done fuck all in the anime.

That's a lot more than Rui who got one shot by Giyu. Simply killing a lot of people doesn't equate to being a great villain. In my book. If that's your simplistic interpretation, cool. |
|
| Of course. But let's put it this way. I perceive Thorfinn as an annoying brat with a thick plot armour and hilariously unrealistic powers, who I wish was killed soon so Askeladd gets more screen time. I'm serious when I say the only thing which keeps me watching is the very fact that Thorfinn is surrounded by gray characters worthy of an adult narration rather than teenager self-insert power fantasies. And Askeladd is the most fleshed out of those. |

Superns18 said: You must have missed the other horrible shit he's done/not read the manga. And being angry at someone for killing someone's father isn't weak lmao. In a real life context, of course it would be horrible if someone kills a part of your family, but on most anime/manga it is a very weak and simple action for me to consider him a villain. It is true that I haven't read the manga (I kinda want to) but for me the series feels extremely gray. I haven't seen a single good soul or pure heart on the series (maybe Canute but only for the moment). Vikings are ruthless and so is the world of the series, however, if doing horrible things makes him a villain, then even Thorfinn is one. For me there is no good or bad on Vinland, but there are people who believe in their own concepts, and Thorfinn specially is completely out of the morals his father attempted to teach him just for a vengeance he knows it will not lead him anywhere. Yeah, Askeladd kills, but so does Thorfinn. So for me an anti hero would be a better term, since he is the opposite force (or the force against) the "Hero", that will be Thorfinn. |

So for me there wasn't anything special this year. I agree Askeladd's character is an antihero, not a villain. I think Magase Ai, if you have watched Monster you get the same feeling with Babylon and her character. |

It's not about how many he kills and more of why. The only thing Rui has over Muzan is that his backstory has been revealed. |

Pakumen- said: I get that, all I say is that one of the shows (Vinland Saga) listed is beyond that classic shounen trope of a "villain". It's seinen and has gray characters, so trying to assign the label of a villain to any of it's characters is bound to fail. inim said: I think we are discussing that because the thread is called "Best villain of the year".Why everybody so desperately tries to assign labels of good and evil?

As for Babylon, I catched up late after getting positive news about the show from friends myself. Certainly the sleeper hit of the season, and my personal 2nd best of the season right after Beastars. And for this one I actually would use the term villain, btw - Ai Magase is frighteningly evil. |
