** Swindler. While her situation of being dragged into a massive heist and being labeled as an Akudama is a huge load of bad luck and sympathetic as a result, as both Courier and later [[spoiler:Hacker]] pointed out, she could've easily gotten out of her situation had she just simply paid her 500 yen for her takoyaki with a coin Courier dropped from the very first episode. It gets harder to feel sympathy for her later in the series when she [[spoiler:essentially sacrificed a load of innocent people living in Kansai to the Executioners by having them riot like crazy to the point that the latter practically forced the New Chief Police Chief to label them all as criminals to calm the riots and protests down, which costed them their good will and trust of the city while ruining the lives of plenty of innocents in the process, all for the sake of saving two children. And then she incites the people to riot ''again'' in the final episode]].

Cut by the thread


** [[TheHeavy Boss]] is the brutal commander of the Executioners, having them kill anyone she has labeled an Akudama. Ordered by the [[GreaterScopeVillain Board of Kanto]] to capture the immortal [[WouldHurtAChild children]] Brother and Sister, Boss collaborates with Doctor in orchestrating a trap where Boss tries to kill the Akudama and bring Brother and Sister to Kanto, knowing that they would be used as extra storage for their supercomputer for [[AndIMustScream all eternity]]. When people in Kansai start rioting, Boss pressures the New Police Chief to declare them all Akudama, where she then initiates a wide-scale massacre throughout the city, killing thousands. When the rest start to rebel upon witnessing Swindler's execution, Boss attempts to force the Chief to declare them Akudama for her to kill them all, causing the Chief to [[DrivenToSuicide commit suicide]].

Evil Is Sexy is now disambiguation.


** The Akudama are the {{Villain Protagonist}}s of the series and by far the most popular characters if only because of how badass they are, with Courier being a BadassBiker, Brawler being a BloodKnight that's also [[LaughablyEvil humorous]] and Hacker being a tech-savvy TeenGenius. Also [[CompleteMonster Cutthroat and Doctor]] have their fans who LoveToHate them, especially [[EvilIsSexy Doctor]], who is the MsFanservice of the series. Even Hoodlum has his moments of badass especially after killing Doctor, while Swindler becomes this via CharacterDevelopment.

* EvilIsSexy: Doctor. She ties with Boss and Cutthroat for being the [[CompleteMonster evilest character]] in the series, but one can't deny that she is also the sexiest.

Added DiffLines:

** {{Courier}} is a serious and highly efficient Akudama who delivers goods to whoever should enlist him. Priding himself on never letting a client down, he is enlisted to rescue [[SerialKiller Cutthroat]] from his execution, and then to steal cargo from the revered Shinkansen. Armed with his [[CoolBike tricked-out motorcycle]], his gun and his pragmatic wits, he helps the group achieve their objective. When Doctor turns traitor, Courier fulfils Brother's last request for him to deliver his lucky charm to Sister, saving Swindler in the process and tagging along with her as a getaway driver after being swayed by her resolve. At the very end, Courier uses the chaos created by Swindler and Hacker, destroying the Kansai Radio Tower to escort Brother and Sister to their destination and [[OneManArmy fighting through an army of Executioners in the process]]. When he realises he doesn't have much time left, he drops them off close to their destination and fights off the remaining pursuing drones, taking the last one out right before it can reach the siblings. Declaring this "Perfect", he succumbs to his wounds, [[GoOutWithASmile accepting his death with a smile]].

* Woolseyism: In the original Japanese version, [[DeadlyDoctor Doctor]] constantly calls [[BoisterousBruiser Brawler]], the only dark-skinned character in the main cast, a "dreadlocked gorilla", an insult historically used to demean dark-skinned people. The English dub would address this issue by having her refer to him as a "dreadlocked oaf" instead.
