A 10/10 anime villain

All Demon Slayer villains are 10/10. Anyone who disagree with it certainly have no idea of well written character or else he is hipster.

You can't name 5 villains better than Muzan Kibutsuji.

Villains/Antagonists I would give a 10 off the top of my head are like, Makishima, Kirei, Hisoka, Doffy, maybe Bondrewd. Griffith also I guess. I think there are plenty.

I've given it some thought and I don't believe that there has ever been a 10/10 anime villain. I certainly believe that there are 9/10 anime villains, and it's not like I'm someone who says "10/10s are impossible because no show is perfect". A villain is the hardest character to write, and I believe writing a near perfect one would require so much detail that it would normally make them the focus of the show, which I would then argue removes their position of the "villain" from the story. Light Yagami is a very possible example of this. I believe that to write a 10/10 villain, would definitely require an even better written protagonist, and an incredibly meticulously written plot that leaves room for careful development for each of these characters.

I would like to know how anyone else feels about this, and if you have any examples of 10/10 characters.

I don't know which is wierd me calling "Demon Slayer villains are 10/10" or others claiming "Johan is a 10/10 villain" lol

Mosesaa said:
It's not hard when both are false.

I think Bondrewd is one of the best written villains out there. Dont know about Askeladd. Even though he was introduced as a villain, He pretty much was a hero for me for several reasons.

Mosesaa said:
I guess you miss my point. My bad, i wasn't clear.

Lets keep it simple - They both sucks ass, Johan and DS villains, both.

I agree a 10/10 villain is incredibly hard to write, it requires a complex plot and a set of amazing characters. I would say Eren and Askeladd are 10/10 or as close as you can get to that. Both of them have phenomenal development - Eren starts as the hero but we watch his motives/extreme ideologies turn him into a ruthless character who will do anything for freedom. Askeladd is the opposite, starts out as a savage mercenary Viking leader but through Thorfin we’re able to see the thoughtful, almost caring side. Though he’s Thorfins enemy he takes it upon himself to teach the young boy the ways of the world.

That being said I’m yet to watch a lot of anime and am sure to come across more villains of their tier.

I think he definitely comes off more anti-hero by the end of his arc, but I still consider him a villain. Leading a band of vikings, murdering and pillaging village after village, regardless of motive, is still pretty villain-y. He makes you sympathize with his cause tho, thats what makes him so great to me. Regardless of how you view him, we all can agree he’s a great character.

Why are u loosing sleep over some damn numbers. 10 and 1 are just reference point for upper and lower limit. It doesnt need to be unattainable perfection of dreams, It just being highest/most favorite of what u have seen is more than enough.

Also no, I dont think creating a villan is hard. Villan is second most important position after protagonist. It always gets extreme care. If anything supporting or Tertiary cast is what harder to create like
for eg a well written henchman is harder to create character position in a story since they have lesser screen time or importance to work with. They most usually turn out stereotypical due be being out of focus or less thought put on creating them

I wouldn’t really call Askeladd a villain. He’s technically the antagonist of the prologue but he cares for Thorfinn and his crew, along with the fact that his motive had always been to bring a rightful king. He’s more of a dickhead than a villain. 10/10 character for me tho. Eren tho fs season 4 + is 10/10.

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji will be a 10/10 in the upcoming years

MR-GOD said:
I don’t agree with a Askeladd, but I wouldn’t even consider Eren as a villain.

shut up (15 characters)

This is a open discussion.
Next time, u dont want well thought out replies, go start it in some private group chat or thread.

Mosesaa said:
Yeah, your post ,where you added nothing "went above my head". And do not forget to take your ADHD meds.

darthbarth said:

That’s a great point - I’d say at the beginning he’s portrayed as the villain but as u said his motives/actions throughout the show would say otherwise.

Why would you tell him to shut up since all he did was type some letters?

MR-GOD said:

(Spoiler warning for Berserk) The only here that I recognise are kirei, hisoka, doflamingo and Griffith. I personally wouldn’t call any of these even a 9/10 besides Griffith. Griffith is probably the closest to a 10/10 villain that I’ve seen, but my problem with him is that most of his development comes before he is a villain. This causes him to lose the villain factor that I believe a 10/10 villain would need. What I mean by this is that he doesn’t hold a position of threat and fear that I believe he would need. The fact that his development came before his introduction as a villain, stopped him from being enough of an opposing force to the protagonist. On top of this, his development of character was swayed by character who is basically just “evil”, which lowered his score slightly.

Demon Slayers biggest flaw is its 1d characters the villains are just evil and have no motive

BentBlue said:

They have a motive it is to be able to go out into the sun without being decimated.
