• ◯◯Yuri: Yusuke, who's Sayaka's ex-husband and Yuuki's father. He's a 35-year-old man with a failed band who mooched off his successful business executive wife for the past 16 years, with the latter keeping him around because she believed Yuuki needed a father in her life. When Sayaka gets tired of him and asks him for a divorce, he becomes terrified that he won't be able to survive without her support. He has little apparent love for Sayaka, whom he cheated on, and even less for Yuuki, since he's jealous of her closeness with his wife.
• The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You: Despite only appearing in three chapters, Shizuka's mother quickly earned this title, as the only thing she does Chapter 3 is yell at Shizuka for being a Cute Mute and call her a Creepy Child. She later confiscates her daughter’s phone in Chapter 134 after learning that she’s using a text to speech app to communicate, which leads to Rentarou confronting her in the next chapter. She manages to redeem herself by the end of Chapter 135 when she returns Shizuka’s phone the next day and learns to accept her daughter for who she is.
• Accel World:
  • Seiji Noumi, Arc Villain of the Dusk Taker arc. He's a member of the Acceleration Research Society, who are implied to be the main antagonists of the series, but Noumi seems to be fairly low-ranking. He does, however, prove to be a thoroughly unpleasant Smug Snake who blackmails Haru into gathering points for him and having Haru's friend Chiyu become his tag partner unaware that Chiyu is planning on betraying him and returning Haru's wings. He does have a Freudian Excuse (although since the same goes for most Burst Linkers, it doesn't say much)- Seiji's older brother bullied him, and forced him to give points to Yuichi (like Yuichi does with his victims), until Seiji unlocked his ability and brutally erased his brother from Brain Burst- but given that Seiji took sadistic pleasure in doing so, it doesn't inspire much sympathy. The closest Haru, who was bullied himself gets to sympathizing with Noumi is saying that they might have been friends if Noumi had approached him and his companions as another Burst Linker.
  • Araya also serves this role as leader of the Gang of Bullies who's been harassing Haru and taking his lunch money ever since he started middle school, which further amplifies Haru's self-esteem issues and slowly drives a wedge between him and his friends. When Kuroyukihime tricks Araya into punching Haru on the security cameras, and Araya finally gets caught and suspended, Araya tries to kill her and Haru in retaliation, forcing Kuroyukihime to perform a Heroic Sacrifice to save Haru that nearly kills her, as well as forcing her to give up most of her points. Araya is yet another loathsome bully, and while Taku, the actual antagonist of the first volume, has done some questionable things, he comes off as a more sympathetic character by comparison, especially after he works to make up for what he's done.
• Akame ga Kill!:
  • Prime Minister Honest contrasts the admirable traits of General Esdeath as a hideous and selfish hedonist who devotes himself only to causing suffering for his own pleasure. Regularly tormenting or killing the citizens of the Empire, Honest spends near the entirety of his page time smugly gloating about his crimes, and when his own life is put in danger, cowardly flees to save himself, firmly establishing himself as one of the most disgusting characters in the work.
  • Syura is Honest's equally contemptible son who, along with his squad, the Wild Hunt, uses the authority bestowed upon them to conduct rapes and murders at their leisure, under the guise of upholding the law. Lacking the nobility and standards of their rival group the Jaegers, Syura and Wild Hunt are never portrayed as anything more than brutes from the moment of their introduction, and Syura especially stands out as monstrous and irredeemable, even raping and killing the wife of the recently deceased Bols on his grave.
  • Champ is a Monster Clown who manages to become a specific target of hatred even in the low bar of Wild Hunt. A Serial Rapist and Serial Killer of children, he desires to take as many as he can before they grow to adulthood, even doing such to Bols' daughter while his boss, Syura, does the same to her mother. In a particularly disgusting moment, Champ shows that he even has trouble remembering some of his victims due to the sheer volume of how many he's violated and murdered.
  • Aria and her parents are seemingly kind nobles who lure commoners into their home to butcher them. An early representation of the Empire's elite being given free rein to torment their lessers, their sickening handiwork is seen in the countless bodies of tortured travelers they keep in their estate.
• Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest:
  • Daisuke Hiyama is the Barbaric Bully of the protagonist Hajime Nagumo and one who attempted to murder him so he can have Kaori Shirasaki all to himself. He even feigns remorse for putting his classmates in danger so he can convince Kouki to let him be alongside Kaori. When he discovers that not only did Hajime survive his murder attempt and is fully aware of what he's done, but also that he has gotten stronger and is able to kill him if he so wished, Daisuke starts to lose his mind, more so when Kaori decides to join Hajime's party. Conspiring with Eri Nakamura to betray their classmates and the kingdom to the demons, Daisuke attempts to kill Kaori so she can be reanimated into a doll to love only him. He earns himself no sympathy at all when Hajime (who didn't bother to kill him because he deemed him not worth it) finally loses every shred of mercy he had left in him and kills Daisuke by throwing him to the monsters, mirroring how Daisuke attempted to murder him.
  • Kouki Amanogawa is a rare non-villainous example, establishing how unlikable he is through his Victim-Blaming, Selective Obliviousness, and Tautological Templar tendencies. After being summoned to another world alongside his classmates, Kouki lets his status as the chosen hero go to his head, causing him to stubbornly believe that his beliefs and methods are always right, and anyone who disagrees with him is wrong, causing him to clash with Hajime's more pragmatic and realistic outlook. This also makes it easy for him to be manipulated, as shown by how Daisuke feigned remorse to convince him to be alongside Kaori. Even before Hajime Took a Level in Badass, Kouki never treated Hajime kindly, blaming him when he's being bullied as someone who deserved it, and only believed Kaori was kind to Hajime out of pity rather than because she's attracted to him. His naive sense of justice causes him to make foolish mistakes that nearly get himself and his party killed multiple times, and yet when Hajime comes to the rescue, he antagonizes him to no end. He also noticeably shows some possessiveness towards his childhood friends and becomes jealous of Hajime having a harem, wrongly believing that Hajime brainwashed them all into being at his side. It isn't until he goes through Character Development in the After Story that he finally subverts this.
• Ashigei Shoujo Komura-san: Lulue Hanabira is a rich dancer who becomes the self-proclaimed rival of Komurai Komura. Upon accidentally kicking her foot into Tsukinaga's mouth, Lulue vows to "remove every taste of Komura" from it. As an attempt to learn if Komura had any weaknesses, she holds Tsukinaga hostage threatening to pelt him with tennis balls if he did not disclose them.
• Attack on Titan:
  • Floch Forster is an out-and-out fanatic betraying former allies and friends left and right in blind support of a cause in which he is no longer capable of accepting or processing the many risks that come with it. Fully devoted to an imperialist agenda in which Eren would rise as the leader of Eldia and destroy its enemies, even if that means destroying the rest of the world to do it, he's clearly no better than those who themselves tried to destroy his people.
  • For the most part, Marleyans are portrayed as complex characters who are antagonistic because of the poisonous anti-Eldian propaganda they've been raised with... and then there's Sergeant Major Gross, who's basically all the worst traits of Marley wearing a hat. He's a sadist who tortures and murders Eldians, including a young girl, and feels justified because they're 'subhuman'. Don't feel too bad that he only lasts a few chapters before his gruesome demise.
  • Grior is unrepentantly racist and fully committed to the belief that the islanders are devils to be slaughtered; turns out not even Yelena has the patience for his hateful sentiments.
  • Despite only appearing in a single chapter, King Fritz manages to establish himself as a brutal warlord, rapist, Domestic Abuser, abusive parent, butcher, and quite possibly the evilest character in the manga.
• Baccano!'s first two anime arcs each have a hate worthy character, presumably due to the fact that 90% of the cast is full of criminals and thus you gotta have someone who makes the others look good by comparison, but perhaps the most noteworthy is Goose Perkins from the Grand Punk Railroad arc; he is a selfish, Smug Snake terrorist who forms a Big Bad Ensemble with Ladd Russo (an Ax-Crazy lunatic whose main desire is to kill everyone on the train For the Evulz)...and because of Ladd's sick sense of humor it's Goose who comes off as the most slimy and monstrous of the duo.
• Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts has no clear-cut antagonistic force, save the characters' own idiocies. The Tokonatsu duo introduced as Filler Villains during the OVA serve as the necessary, obnoxious road bumps hindering the main characters' cultural festival.
• Bakuman。:
  • Ishizawa is a classmate of Mashiro and Takagi's from middle school. He's incredibly arrogant despite his lack of artistic talent, and even tries to pressure Takagi to partner with him instead of Mashiro, resulting in Takagi punching him. He gets a series in Chara Kira magazine while in college, but this doesn't compare to the main characters' accomplishments, and that series gets canceled at some point. He even tries to sexually extort Aoki into working for him, only for Fukuda to intervene. Worst of all, he plays a major role in leaking Mashiro and Azuki's relationship online, resulting in Azuki facing an uphill battle in auditioning for the lead role in Mashiro and Takagi's anime.
  • Nanamine, who's perhaps the closest thing the series has to an outright villain. He seems like an affable young man and a fan of the main characters, but he privately reveals a cynical plan to get to the top of Jump by using a manga that's essentially written by committee. He considers his online contributors to be a means to an end, and doesn't even care about the impact his move will have on his editor. When his scheme inevitably comes crumbling down, Nanamine gets a well-deserved dose of humiliation, but he doesn't learn his lesson. He later tries a modified version of his scheme with out of work manga artists, whom he cuts loose once they're no longer useful. When the plan fails and results in him being banned from Jump, not many people feel sorry for him.
• Beast Tamer: The Hero's Party, despite their name, are anything but heroic. Their first action in the story is to cruelly kick out the protagonist Rein Shroud because they deem him weak and useless, but completely fail to realize that he's actually quite exceptional as a Beast Tamer, which ends up backfiring on them. Despite this, they're too arrogant and self-righteous to admit they were wrong and only think to get his help when it's convenient, all the while being shameless about their treatment to the point they need to be forced to apologize to get his help (an apology that's only "half-hearted" at best). They care nothing for the commoners and would rather cozy up with the rich in lives of luxury, to the point where they have abandoned people in need of help.
• Belle (2021):
  • Justin is the vain and egotistical hero of the virtual world of U, being a non-school equivalent of a Big Jerk on Campus. While at first appearing to be hunting the Dragon to protect the order of U, it soon becomes clear that Justin just wants to eliminate or expose the Dragon's identity because he can't stand the latter taking the spotlight off of him. He has no qualms with threatening to unveil Belle on U if that will get him closer to finding the Dragon and even endanger her life in order to draw him out, proving himself to be a Fake Ultimate Hero who will go to any lengths to soothe his bruised ego.
  • Downplayed with Kei and Tomo's father, whose physical and verbal abuse of his sons is what drives Kei's actions as the Dragon in U. While appearing as a good man and loving father on the internet, Suzu and her friends end up seeing his true nature as a Control Freak and an Abusive Parent, which motivates them to try and find the boys' home in order to come to their rescue. The only reason it's downplayed is because the loss of his wife has destroyed his mental health, though the film makes it perfectly clear that this is only an explanation, not an excuse.
• Berserk:
  • Downplayed with Gambino. Even though he genuinely loves Shisu, even abandoning a battle to try and return home to save her, he puts Guts through Training from Hell, abuses him, and sells him to the pedophile mercenary Donovan at a cheap price because he blames Guts for Shisu's death. Still enraged by the aforementioned death, he drunkenly attempts to kill Guts and ironically draws sympathy when Guts kills him in self-defense.
  • Donovan is a mercenary and sadistic pedophile who rapes Guts for a meager sum of three silver coins early in his life. This act traumatizes Guts for the rest of his life and nobody spares a glance when Guts frags him on the battlefield a mere day later.
  • Wyald seems determined to be as big a repulsive monster as he can in his relatively small screen-time. He leads a band of mercenaries in raping, torturing, and murdering any unfortunate man, woman or child who crosses their paths For the Evulz. He also casually kills his men, either for questioning his orders, fleeing from battle, or simply to amuse himself. In addition, he's also a massive misogynist, raping any woman he comes across, and even claims that women "look best with nothing on" during his Attempted Rape of Casca. Seeing him getting his parts taken away by Guts and then getting ripped in half by Zodd is quite satisfying. Wyald has also been been Adapted Out in both anime adaptations.
  • Emperor Ganishka is the sadistic leader of the Kushan Empire, who commits depraved acts on a regular basis. While his goal is to challenge the similarly villainous Godhand, Ganishka is destructive and idiotic about the matter, permitting mass rape to spawn his demonic soldiers, the Daka, kidnapping Princess Charlotte in an attempt to rape her, and attempting unsuccessfully to kill everyone in Midland. He was so horrific as a villain that the fans rooted for Griffith (who is no stranger to horrific evil himself as anyone who's seen the Eclipse can attest) to take him down.
• Black Clover:
  • Rades Spirito is the single most detestable member of his group, who doesn't even seem to care about any of his comrades. He wants to destroy the kingdom and kill all of its citizens simply because he was exiled from the Magic Knights for his dangerous magic, an incredibly petty reason.
  • Langirs Vaude and Solid Silva are the most snobbish and unpleasant of the Magic Knight regulars. They look low on commoners like Asta, are horrible sibling bullies and generally aren't stable people that you want in a position to defend Clover Kingdom. Solid later subverts this in the Elf Reincarnation arc and Langris does the same in the Spade Kingdom Raid arc, the latter even teaming up with his big brother Finral (that he used to despise) to fight Zenon.
  • What's even worse than Solid and Langirs is Gueldre. the (thankfully former) Purple Orca captain. He's so greedy and wealth-obsessed that he teams up with the Eye of the Midnight Sun for the sake of money and rare magic items and sent Revichi into an Uriah Gambit just to kick him out on purpose, causing him to become the bandit in Chapter 1. You'll actually be happy when he gets kicked out thanks to Asta, Julius and Rill and gets replaced by the much, much better Kaiser Granvorka. Oh and even when Zagred manifests within the Shadow Palace, he only thinks about getting more money from it.
  • Dante and Vanica are obviously designed to be reviled because of their disturbing personalities. Their undignified ends are well-deserved after spending too much time being Unskilled, but Strong smug snakes who can't rest a day without being mass murderers. Compare this to their youngest sibling, Zenon, who was built to be a competent and sympathetic character that dies by losing a fair-and-square fight against Yuno.
• Chaka from Black Lagoon. While most villains have either tragic backstories or affable traits that make them fun, Chaka is a scumbag to the core with absolutely zero likeable traits.
• Bloom Into You doesn't have any antagonistic figures, or many unpleasant characters, but Chie Yuzuki, Sayaka's ex-girlfriend, is the least likeable character in the series. She asks Sayaka out while the two are in middle school, only to break up with Sayaka. Chie expresses that she was In Love with Love, and saw the relationship as nothing more than an entertaining diversion, something that is devastating to Sayaka, who had feelings for Chie. When Sayaka happens to run into Chie again, Chie only apologizes for getting Sayaka interested in girls, and hopes that Sayaka is back to normal again. In response, Sayaka "reassures" Chie that she has no idea why she fell for Chie in the first place, before leaving arm-in-arm with Touko, the girl she now loves, and saying a final goodbye to Chie. The spinoff novel Regarding Sayaka Saeki explores Chie's character more in depth, but doesn't portray her breaking up with Sayaka as justified.
• Bokurano has Hatagai, especially in the manga. In the manga, he tricked Chizu into falling in love with him, then lured her to a hotel room and had his associates gang rape her, while recording a video and using it as blackmail material to get her to do what they want, before moving on to the next victim. When Chizu gets pregnant (the only reason she doesn't kill Hatagai and herself in a Murder-Suicide), Hatagai cheerfully suggests that she get an abortion and make a birth video. He's easily the most despicable character in the series, and to make matters worse, he also goes completely unpunished in both the manga and anime.
• Brynhildr in the Darkness: Though Director Takachiho and Chisato Ichijiku have their good qualities, the same cannot be said for these characters:
  • Vingulf as a whole is the enemy organization responsible for the creation of the magicians/witches, girls that they captured and experimented on since childhood. The experiments Vingulf carries out are gruesome and inhumane, often killing the subjects, and the survivors are extorted into working for them in exchange for a special medicine that they need to live, under constant thread of being painfully murdered via melting. Even Vingulf's low-ranking employees are willing to abuse defenless girls. It is later revealed that the girls are in truth aliens called Drasils that they implanted in the girls bodies, and that the true goal of the superiors is to eradicate humanity. A vile organization that commits atrocities in the name of 'advancing humanity', Vingulf shows just how awful humans can be.
  • Onodera is a magician that enjoys causing suffering to other magicians. Despite her own annoyance and frustration towards her status as a magician at Vingulf's will, Onodera is perfectly willing to abuse the newest Valkyrias in order to archieve results. When she is ordered to train the extremely powerful Valkyria Hrist, Onodera's method is to force her to Mercy Kill weaker magicians until Hrist loses her sanity and becomes a broken and obedient servant. A petty woman with a tendency for extremely violent behavior at the slightest provocation, Onodera lacked any of the pity or tragedy of other magicians.
  • Machina, the only male magician, is an extremely powerful, entitled teenager and Misanthrope Supreme. Obsessed with Neko Kuroha, considering her to be the Eva to his Adam, Machina constantly uses violence against her and murders the sister of Kuroha's best friend Kana in front of her as they tried to reconnect. Extremely petty and violent, Machina reacts to the apparently defenseless alien known as The Sorcerer by beating and mock him, leading to his pathetic death. Hated for the Astronomy Club and seen as a expendable pawn for his own father, Machina was a truly disgusting person, and The Sorcerer comments that even his taste was unlikable.
• Citrus: Many characters in the manga and anime series have their own faults, but are good persons deep inside. The same cannot be said for Mei's former fiancée Amemiya. He was a Gold Digger who was only in it for the high status it would grant him, and he has a lover that he is knowingly seeing behind Mei's back.
• CLANNAD, both the Visual Novel and the Anime Adaptation, usually is in a setting where there is No Antagonist, thus it's a daily life series. Every characters seems to always have more sympathetic qualities. However, the closest they can have for this trope is the whole soccer team, a team very full of Jerk Jock, that while Youhei Sunohara was being a jerk that they kicked him out, they were no better, with implications that they did enjoy making Sunohara's time in the club miserable, and when his sister Mei begged for them to put him back to club to re-ignite his passion in life, they instead chose to torment not only Mei but also Tomoya (and in the anime, also Nagisa, who tags along) for nothing but laughs with false promises that if they put up with it, they will let Youhei back. Of course, they refused to make good of the promise, to the point that when Youhei, usually the Butt-Monkey of the whole series, struck back at them for bullying his sister. It is saying something that in the same series, there's a group of Biker Gang/Yakuza... and they have a lot more moral standards (and a sympathetic story arc) than the club.
  • The member of the student council who demands Tomoya split up with Tomoyo in the Another World: Tomoyo Chapter OVA only appears for a few seconds and does a fantastic job of making you want to punch him in his smug little face. He walks up to Tomoya, tells him off for being a delinquent, tells him outright that he's dragging down Tomoyo and tells him he should do her a favour and dump her. This turns out to be the straw which broke the camel's back and leads to Tomoya dumping Tomoyo for what he thinks is her own good in a heartbreaking scene not long after.
• Code Geass has Black-and-Gray Morality; Lelouch, Suzaku, and even some of the other characters who do terrible things do so with the best intentions. But it’s okay to hate these guys...
  • Charles zi Britannia heads up a racist, totalitarian empire, fervently promotes social darwinism for his own ends and gets his fair share of Kick the Dog moments across the series to establish him as one of the most morally bankrupt people in the setting. Though later on he is established to have more benevolent motives... or so he claims, as when Lelouch calls him out his hypocrisy and cruel behavior, Charles freaks out and tries to strangle him, despite having previously claimed that Lelouch was one of the people his Evil Plan was for.
  • Charles' brother V.V. (originally Victor zi Britannia) does anything and everything to make life hell for Lelouch for being the son of Charles' beloved Marianne, whom he murdered because he suspected she was getting in the way of the contract, and then lied about it, going against what he says about eliminating lies from the world. Even Charles, who is pretty far on the evil scale in this series, is pissed off by the lie and betrayal, and eventually kills him for it by taking his code after V.V. suffered fatal injuries in a crash.
  • Mrs. Stadtfeld, Kallen's stepmother, only appeared in one episode, but is utterly hated by fans. She's racist towards Elevens, especially toward Kallen's mother (who's working as a maid for the Mrs. Stadtfeld) and abuses her verbally and physically.
  • Alicia Lohmeyer is also immensely unlikeable, being Viceroy Nunnally's irrationally racist Treacherous Advisor. Constantly trying to subvert Nunnally's compassionate ways to make life hell for the Japanese, she dismisses any attempt of peace or compromise with the Black Knights, and in one instance almost commits genocide out of xenophobic zealotry.
  • The Chinese High Eunuchs are particularly awful for selling out their land and their empress, and even betray their comrades just for personal gain. They even make a speech about how little they think of the people they govern, comparing them to insects.
  • But likely none of these characters come close to Luciano Bradley, the Knight of Ten. He is especially worth hating for being one of the most, if not the most, despicable character in the entire series. A psychotic and sadistic murderer at heart, Luciano gleefully admits that he serves Britannia in order to be respected for killing people. He is also heavily implied to be a Serial Rapist, as he threatens Kallen at one point with rape while she is held prisoner.
• Cross Ange:
  • The elitist Mana Community as a whole force the Norma to defend them from the invading DRAGONs and treat them as nothing more than Cannon Fodder, even sending mere babies off to this fate. Created as decadent racists by Embryo, it's telling that no one cares when their entire society falls apart due to lack of Mana.
  • Perhaps the most loathsome of the Mana Community that we are introduced to is the jealous Prince Julio Asuka Misurugi. He outs his sister, Angelise (who would later be known as "Ange"), as a Norma out of spite for his parents favoring her, and has Ange sent to Arzenal to fight the DRAGONs in hopes of getting her killed so that he can become Emperor. After killing his own father, making personal attempts on Ange's life, and finally ordering the extermination of all Normas, Julio breaks down when cornered by Ange herself and tries begging for his own life, proving himself an utterly self-centered and pathetic man to the end.
  • Embryo shares Julio's loathsome traits with even more destructive goals and pastimes while having the power and intelligence to be far more capable of realizing such. Despite claiming to want to create a better new world in place of the old one and rid it of corruption, this is ultimately shown to be a lie as he is the one behind the persecution of the Norma who cannot stand that the world is not as perfect as he views himself. Any style, charm, moral intrigue or depth Embryo displayed is ultimately subverted by using it to corrupt many heroines to his side, using them as pawns and toys until he ultimately discards them along with any pretenses of care. In the finale, he sheds any attempt to not be seen as a monster, and attempts to force himself on Ange, the one person he couldn't seduce. When defeat becomes certain for him, he handles it with a total lack of grace, becoming a hateful, petulant Sore Loser who refuses to accept his end at the hands of Ange and Tusk.
• Daimos: Sakimori Miwa is a self-important Armchair Military General Ripper who is rabidly in favour of exterminating the Barmians and is willing to apply We Have Reserves to civilians if it means it will give him more power and prestige. His stubbornness makes him one of the biggest obstacles to peace to the point that he arguably gets in the way of the Daimovic more than the Barmians, who have their fair share of sympathetic characters.
• The Death Mage Who Doesn't Want a Fourth Time: While most antagonists have at least one reason for the way they act, no justification is ever given to Hiroto Amamiya's unnamed uncle. Supposed to look after him after his parents died, instead he abused his nephew and denied him everything but the barest necessities, saying it was for "teaching him humility" and that everything was "too luxurious for someone like him". He was also a humongous Hypocrite who indulged in luxury after receiving the life insurance of his nephew. Nobody is sorry to find out he lost all his money and ended as a hobo on the streets who died a meaningless death.
• Death Note: While Light Yagami is too fun to watch to count (at least at the start), the same cannot be said of these characters:
  • Kyosuke Higuchi. He's the only one of the Kiras to evade Draco in Leather Pants status, as he's an extremely sleazy Corrupt Corporate Executive and a Pointy-Haired Boss both literally and figuratively, and his character design is noticeably less attractive than that of his coworkers. He also threatens to rape Misa. It comes as little surprise that the audience is glad when he's the first person killed upon Light regaining his memories of the Death Note, after he reveals its existence to the police.
  • Demegawa is possibly the most loathed character in the series, in and out of universe. You know you're bad when the Kira Task Force basically says that you deserved to be killed by him.
• DearS: Takeya's father neglect him, forcefully takes Ren away from him, has him arrested on false charges, knocks him out and is perfectly willing to experiment on a sentient race. All in all, his role in the story is seemingly to explain why Takeya has such an abrasive personality, and to serve as a plot device to explain why Io thinks it's a good idea to exterminate mankind.
• Dokuhime: The repellant Queen and her assistant Mandrake create the "poisoned princesses" as a means to gain power by killing political rivals and making as much money as possible for themselves. Caring for no one else, the duo have the princesses who fail their objectives executed, and when their crimes bring an enemy army upon their capital city, can only think of their own safety in the chaos.
• Doraemon
  • Doraemon: Nobita and the Kingdom of Clouds, a Green Aesop-themed film with a heavy emphasis on Humans Are the Real Monsters, has the gang of evil poachers who are arrested by the Sky People while they're in the middle of slaughtering a family of elephants before they made their escape. After being rescued by Nobita and Doraemon, the poachers then hijack Doraemon's Cloud-Dispersing Cannon, a weapon that's a borderline WMD, using it to destroy entire chunks of the kingdom and having learned zilch from their arrest, leading to Doraemon eventually pulling a Heroic Sacrifice (he gets better) to destroy the Cannon, and with it, the four poachers, who are the first human villains to die permanently in the show.
  • Doraemon: Nobita and the Island of Miracles ~Animal Adventure~ introduces Sherman, one of the few villains in the franchise who's written to have zero likeable qualities, "cool" factors, or at the very least, a bit of redeeming value, being a Fat Bastard, self-centered and self-indulgent Manchild who have entire villages wiped out while seeking a rare Golden Stag Beetle to be added into his collection, besides deliberately targeting children with his giant robots. He's also a Dirty Coward to boot when he's finally defeated in the finale, with his Exit, Pursued by a Bear fate portrayed entirely for laughs.
  • Doraemon: Great Adventure in the Antarctic Kachi Kochi has three villains, the shapeshifting robot psychopath Yamitem, the kaiju Octagon and the eldritch Ice Elemental Blizarga, the first which easily becomes the designated sink of the picture. Octogon and Blizarga, as giant rampaging monsters, lack sentience or decision-making capabilities (and are too cool and intimidating to be hated anyways). Yamitem on the other hand, is a ruthless psychopath and sadist who enjoys making his victims suffer for no reason other than personal amusement, abducting and torturing Doraemon for fun, and tries leading Nobita and the other characters into a Descending Ceiling deathtrap while posing as Doraemon, trying to convince the others that the real Doraemon (who just escaped imprisonment and is desperately trying to warn his friends) is the imposter, before trying to kill Nobita himself when his plans doesn't work. His Fate Worse than Death via getting frozen as a Human Popsicle for the next 100,000 years won't result in any mourning from the audience.

• EDENS ZERO:
  • Labilia Christy only speaks to Rebecca to make unprovoked insults towards her and Happy, overcharges her admirers and treats them like crap, and is an easy target for Shiki's rage. Then, right when it seems she's taken a (slight) level in kindness in the Sun Jewel arc, she pulls a nasty prank on Rebecca just to make her feel worse. She sheds this after the Time Skip, where karma has caught up with her and forced her to reevaluate her life's choices, turning her into a more humble and kind figure.
  • Illega is a perverted frog alien who hires criminals to kidnap women, who he turns into stone statues to be used as furniture, showing no sympathy towards the terrified girls he's kidnapped and turned to stone making his downfall more satisfying.
  • Ganoff is one of Illega’s hired hands who kidnaps and sexually harasses innocent women, ensuring he isn't spared any mercy when Shiki beats him. Pocket Galaxy makes him worse, revealing that he knows what it's like to suffer and yet wants to spread that feeling to others, which disgusts Sister and Hermit to no end.
  • Dr. Müller stands out as of the most despicable, irredeemably evil villains in the series, establishing himself by acting as a False Friend to Hermit's just to use her to complete a planet destroying device, then keeps her as his personal punching bag for two years. Later revealing himself to have murdered Jinn and Kleene’s parents and forcing the later to watch as he used a chainsaw to remove the limbs of the former when they were children. He's also one of the few villains in Universe Zero to remain exactly the same manipulative, psychotic scumbag as always, proven by The Reveal that he was behind Foresta's robot uprising and destruction, not the innocent Xenolith, remaining a vile bastard to the end.
  • Spider/Jamilov is a gamer who in his avatar murders innocent people in front of Shiki’s crews eyes, and acts like an obnoxious Troll in real life.
  • Madame Kurenai Kōgetsu is a sadistic tyrant who takes pleasure in punishing her citizens and anyone else, as she does to a poor model whom she had summoned for an interview just because he touched her without permission. Moreover, she abandoned her daughter for money without a second thought, and she betrayed Valkyrie to her death to free herself from slavery, all while gloating about it well into the present day.
  • Kurenai’s subordinate Garrot proves to be one of the most despicable characters in the series, through his sickening disrespect of Valkyrie, which he shows by licking the face of her remains and decapitating her in front of a helpless Homura.
  • Drakken Joe, has shown himself to be a repulsive, sociopathic Crime Lord who puts his customers through brutal torture not just so he can wring them out of all their money, but also to siphon their life force to keep himself young, all while proudly displaying his evil on his shoulder.
  • Fie has nothing remotely likable about him, nor does he have any Freudian Excuse to even slightly justify his actions; he's just a murderous psycho for the sake of being one.
  • Daichi is a disgusting, perverted alien with a disturbing addiction to torturing people, with nothing to redeem him or mitigate his evil.
  • Poseidon Shura is written to be so repulsively evil, being a psychotic and power-hungry prince who carries out grotesque acts of violence far beyond Mashima's usual standards, that it makes even an All-Loving Hero like Shiki refuse to be his friend. This gets downplayed in his death scene, which humanizes him by showing how pitifully lonely and starved for affection he really is.
  • Deadend Crow is a living engine of destruction who gleefully destroys organic life For the Evulz, and his senseless act of terrorism drove Holy down a path of vengeance. Justified when it's revealed Cure deliberately built him to be an irredeemable bastard for "good" to rise up against as part of his delusion that Good Needs Evil.
  • Cure proves himself to be of a despicable sort when he's revealed to be not just the one pulling Deadend Crow's strings, but also the one who created Drakken Joe and Poseidon Nero, convinced he's a Well-Intentioned Extremist when he's a delusional Knight Templar who sees the senseless deaths they've caused as Necessarily Evil.
  • Jessie Though he's shown to have understandable motivations for despising Elsie, he squanders much of that sympathy by being a Smug Snake and a Dirty Coward who frames the innocent Homura for his own Accidental Murder of a superior officer, and sadistically murders two of Elsie's top men just to make her suffer.
  • God Acnoella Is a repulsively evil android who wants to rid the universe of human life despite originally being one, and openly brags over the chaos she's inflicted upon the universe in the name of glory for her homeworld. It's enough that Elsie, her daughter whom she never loved to begin with, is so fed up with Acnoella's evil that she kills her mother on the spot in Universe 3.
• Elfen Lied: Lucy and the Diclonii may be mass-murderers, but many of the humans in the series manage to be much more detestable:
  • The Diclonius Research Facility as a whole are the infamously cruel antagonist faction. A secret organization of scientists and military, they are the ones responsible for carrying out horrific experiments on the Diclonii. Though their mission is to protect humanity from the Diclonii, they often go beyond what seems necessary, from torturing the Diclonii subjects to using some as weapons to capture escapees- and it is heavily indicated that their abusive treatment of the Diclonii is at least partly responsible for them going insane and seeking revenge against humanity.
  • Director Kakuzawa is the primary antagonist and a genocidal rapist with a God complex. He is the man who runs the Diclonius research facility, which performs horrific experiments on Lucy and the other Diclonii. Though seemingly doing this to protect humans from the Diclonii, in truth he plans to use the Diclonii as a Master Race to exterminate humanity and replace them, with himself at the top. He is seen committing horrible crimes, from molesting his subordinate Shirakawa to capturing and impregnating Lucy's mother so he could force Lucy to mate with her brother.
  • Tomoo was the leader of a gang of orphanage bullies who tormented Kaede, the original personality of Lucy. His most heinous act was when he forced her to watch him murder her loyal puppy. He ends up dying shortly afterwards when she makes his head explode, but his cruelty remains imprinted on her psyche.
  • Mayu's stepfather is a child molester who loved to sexually humiliate her. Mayu's biological mother, meanwhile, did nothing to help her daughter, despite knowing full well what she was going through, because she saw her own daughter as a sexual competitor for her new husband's attention, and willingly gives up custody of Mayu without protest. It's easy to see why Mayu ran away from them in the first place. The fact they they remain unpunished for their actions makes them all the more loathsome.
  • The unnamed hitman known only as the Unknown Man is the single most depraved character in the manga. A sadistic Psycho for Hire, the hitman amputates the lower half of a child Diclonius and rapes her before later killing her, and assaults Nana and Mayu with full intent to rape the latter. When Bando arrives on the scene to save Mayu, the hitman shows himself to be a pathetic, sniveling coward, and runs out of the house before finally being killed by Lucy during a later confrontation between her and Bando.
• Failed Princesses has Hiro, who's Nanaki Fujishiro's boyfriend at the start of the series. At the very start of the story, he gets caught cheating on Fujishiro. When confronted, Hiro shows no remorse, breaking off the relationship and callously saying that Fujishiro was his "backup girl," whom he only dated for her looks. While Fujishiro isn't a very nice person at the start, this cruel treatment, which is far worse than she deserved, does lead to her changing for the better, something that does not happen to Hiro.
• Failure Frame: Despite their name, [Heroic Sword] have absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Even their so-called camaraderie is simply banding together purely for the purpose of finding new and sadistic ways to kill people they don't agree with and rationalize it in their own head that it's okay because their targets were either "fake humans" or "evil heretics" who refuse to "open their eyes at how threatening the fake humans are".
  • Mimori's parents are extremely easy to hate, seeing as they only see their son as a punching bag and make it a sport to see how long it takes to beat him to death, cheering each other on when it looks like it will finally happen.
• Falling in Love With the Villainess: Maria's attention whoring, glory hounding, skirt flipping, fiancé stealing, and treating everyone but herself as "NPC" make her very easy to hate both in and out of universe.
• Fire Force: Absolutely nobody, in-universe or out, cares for Inca. Nobody. Her callous attitude and heinous actions towards others, to the point where she murdered her friend without a second thought, ensured that she wouldn't even have a Love to Hate-type reaction. Shinra, of all people, not only sums up Inca's life as "empty" but, after she willingly joins the White-Clad to fufil her own Thrill Seeker tendencies, promises to kill her the next time he sees her. Thankfully, she largely subverts this by the epilogue, settling more for a Friendly Enemy relationship with him instead, and it's possible she became the mother of his child.
• Fist of the North Star:
  • Jackal is a ruthless leader who lives by the rule "If you want to survive in this world, don't pick a fight with someone stronger than you". Overhearing about the rich water supply from a child from a village, who asks Kenshiro for help in digging it up, Jackal sets on his path to take away this water from the village, but not before killing his two henchmen for picking a fight with Kenshiro and disobeying his rule about not picking a fight with someone stronger than you. After Kenshiro left the village, which consisted of an old woman and a group of children, Jackal attacked the village with his gang and upon taking over tries to force an old woman to watch as he prepares to hang all the children of the village. When Kenshiro started hunting him down for his crimes, Jackal has no problems sacrificing his own gang to ensure his own survival.
  • Jagi is the Third of the Hokuto Brothers and the only evil one among them. After being humiliated by Kenshiro and left crippled for trying to force Kenshiro into abandoning his position of the successor of Hokuto Shinken, Jagi swears to make Kenshiro suffer. Vowing revenge, Jagi manipulated Shin into kidnapping Kenshiro's fiancee, Yuria, from him and later Jagi becomes the leader of a gang of slavers, who at one point occupied a village and started bullying, torturing and killing several men, women, and children for no reason.
  • Amiba is an arrogant martial arts scientist who claims that he could easily master any martial art style in record time. Coming to a Village of Miracles several years ago, Amiba decided to master the art of Hokuto No Ken and when he tried to cure an old man's broken leg, he hurt him instead, then Toki rushed to help this old man, accidentally slapping Amiba's face, angry Amiba tries to attack Toki, but Toki easily stopes him and put fear in him in front of everybody. Humiliated Amiba vowed revenge on Toki. When Toki was captured by Raoh, Amiba took the appearance of Toki, came to his village and started to experiment on men, women, and children by pressing their various pressure points and seeing what will happen, resulted in many agonizing deaths.
  • Jakoh is the chancellor of the Celestial Empire who ruled the empire through the young Celestial Emperor Rui and manipulating Falco, his adoptive brother, into doing his dirty work by using her as a hostage, keeping her in such unpleasant conditions that she eventually went blind. The Celestial Empire was exceptionally repressive, rewarding the wealthy and brutalizing the poor whilst punishing dissent with death. Eventually, Jakoh's paranoia led him to order Falco to obliterate the nations formed under the Hokuto Shinken and Nanto Seiken martial art schools. After an encountering with Raoh, Jakoh was left with an intense fear of the dark and thus he worked thousands of slaves to death in keeping the capital of the Celestial Empire under constant light.
• Honoo No Alpen Rose: Count Georges de Garmont is cruel to children and animals alike, abuses his wife who's nothing but patient to him, sponsors Nazi organizations all over Switzerland and Austria, tries to assassinate General Guisan to push Switzerland into joining the war and a pedophile, lusting over thirteen-year-old Jeudi because she looks like a woman he once loved. That woman actually turns out to be Jeudi's long lost mother.
• Food Wars!:
  • While the series has plenty of Jerkass students and arrogant rivals at the elite culinary academy Tootsuki, Subaru Mimasaka's methodology and tactics against his competitors, by copying their dishes to perfection and making improvements to it until his version of the dish is one step ahead in every category, is criticized by his peers and competition judges. What fuels for readers is Mimasaka besting the series' leading Ensemble Dark Horse during the Tournament Arc from out of nowhere, with a dash of Diabolus ex Machina. However, he eventually pulls a Heel–Face Turn and uses his copying skills to help Soma during the Moon Banquet Festival.
    • On the other hand, Elite 10 number 9 Etsuya Eizan, the one who pushed Mimasaka into his worst ways is even worse. Not only he's openly a Corrupt Corporate Executive, he goes as far as hiring corrupt judges to win Shokugekis, and spends most of his match with Soma trying to break his spirit, and even sends his thugs to harass Soma's friends. And in his match against Takumi, he deliberately uses an ingredient that will clash with Takumi's own, so its incredibly cathartic watching Takumi out gambit him completely by anticipating his dirty tactic and using it in his favor, utterly crushing him.
  • Azami Nakiri manages to be even worse due to his record of physically abusing Erina into adopting his mindset on cooking, which caused the rest of the Nakiris to disown him. Unfortunately, he ends up returning due to his allies in the Elite 10, who appoint him as headmaster. He then turns the tough-but-fair academy into a place where students are forced to imitate his chosen elites rather than polish their own style of cooking. Not to mention he also held Jun's research hostage in order to force Akira to serve Central. Anyone who opposes him has to deal with rigged exams, corrupt Shokugeki judges, etc, though it's not confirmed if he's endorsing his followers' foul play.
• From Fruits Basket there are a number of Abusive Parents in the Sohma family, who aren't above using their Curse Zodiac children for profit, blaming them for the suicide of their spouse despite being partly at fault, and even outright abandoning them because of their curse. However, the worst of them is Ren Sohma, the mother of Akito Sohma. She is the cause of many of Akito's issue, between raising her as a man and telling her how worthless she is, which results in the latter abusing other members of the Big, Screwed-Up Family as head of the family. Ren's reason? Jealousy for her husband loving their daughter more than her. She even planned to abort Akito if her father, Akira, didn't agree to raising their daughter as a man.
  • We also have Tohru's unpleasant paternal relatives, with the exception of her grandfather. When she moves back after renovations were complete, they treat Tohru like absolute crap, berating her for very little thing she did, even though she was nothing less than polite to them. Granted, they didn't agree to relationship between her parents, as they mostly disliked that her father, Katsuya, married her mother, Kyoko, who was a delinquent in her youth, but that's no reason to assume Tohru is just as bad, and then accuse her of "shacking up" with Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure, after they hire a detective agency to investigate the poor girl. They even had enough goll to mock her Katsuya, and presumably Kyoko, at their respective funerals.
• Fullmetal Alchemist (2003):
  • Basque Grand, in contrast to his more noble manga counterpart, could always be trusted to carry out Amestris' army dirty work (basically every war crime in the book and whatever unethical experiments the Government Conspiracy would conduct) and never lost an opportunity to pull rank to hinder the Elric brothers and rub it in their face purely out of spite. Despite being an unambiguously villainous character whose own physical prowess seemed to guarantee an epic fight against either the bros or Mustang, he never manages to antagonise the heroes further than that as he gets brutally murdered by Scar in a scene which appropriately mirrors Tucker's death from the manga.
  • Likewise, this version of Kimblee is far nastier, being little more than a mass-murdering, backstabbing monster without any of the charm or moral nuance of his manga counterpart.
  • Envy was already incredibly nasty in the source material, but his character's humorous and more symapthetic traits are removed, being a vicious psychopath who doesn't even care about his own siblings. In addition to murdering Maes Hughes and inciting a war in Liore like his original incarnation, he relentlessly tries to victimize the Elrics for being related to Hohenheim. Unlike his more tragic counterpart, his misanthropic actions are not the result of profound inadequacy but sheer cruelty for its own sake.
  • The Big Bad of the anime. Being petty, selfish and abusive, Dante represents the worst of humanity and is clearly not meant to be liked. With the tentative exception of Pride, all of her Homunculus minions either hate or fear her, with even Envy seeing her less as a mother and more as a means to obtaining his vengeance against his father and both of the Elrics are repulsed by her cruelty.
• Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (and manga):
  • Shou Tucker is the undisputed poster boy of intentionally hated characters in anime and manga and one of the most despised in all of media despite only appearing for a short time and having nothing in connection with Father and the Homunculus.
    • He initially appears to be a meek and somewhat clumsy State Alchemist who is trying to make ends meet for the sake of his daughter Nina and pet dog Alexander so the audience might be expected to feel sympathetic for Shou. Whatever pity you'd have for him is thrown out the window when the Elric Brothers (who have since become close to Nina and Alexander) discover that Shou used his alchemy skills to fuse his daughter and dog into a tortured chimera (as well as realizing he did the same thing to his wife years ago). But what makes Shou truly despicable is that he feels no shame, regret, and remorse over what he's done and expects to be rewarded for them, showing that his license as a State Alchemist mattered more to him than his family and then tries to come up with pathetic excuses to justify how he and Edward are similar, believing that such horrible actions should be heralded for advancing research.
    • A unique trait that makes Shou Tucker especially hateable is that, unlike nearly every other villain in the series and excluding the general setting, there is nothing about him that seems fantastical or larger-than-life. He's simply a petty, scummy, and ungrateful cretin whose monstrous actions do, frighteningly, hit closer to home for the audience. He may not be a literal monster, an artificial being who commits genocide, a shapeshifter, a tyrannical dictator, or even someone with high ambitions, but Shou's actions of parental neglect, dismissive and uncaring treatment of Nina, as well as Alexander, prioritizing himself above everything else, and refusal to owe up responsibility and acknowledging the severity of his actions are all common criminal traits seen and recognized by an average citizen. As a result, Shou stands out for how much he does and shows for someone as small-time and significant as him and aptly shows humans can be just as evil as the Homunuculus, which combined with a lack of any sympathetic, tragic, or even remotely likable or cool traits, make him especially hated by audiences.
  • Zig-Zagged with Envy. On one hand, they are flamboyant, incompetent when their manipulation skills fail, and provide a lot of comedy, whether they're the instigator or are on the receiving end. On the other, they are disgustingly cruel and arrogant, and their sheer joy in hurting others incites the ire of both other characters and the audience. Subverted in their final moments, when Ed figures out that, deep down, they are secretly jealous of humans for being able to form friendships and develop past their Fatal Flaws. Envy is so humiliated at being exposed and pitied by the very humans they so thoroughly despise, that they burst into tears and commit suicide. As shown above, compare with his far more cold-blooded counterpart from the 2003 adaptation for a more clear-cut example.
  • The Gold-Toothed Doctor is the only one of the Homunculi's human allies who knows Father's plans to cause The End of the World as We Know It, something he doesn't seem to care about. Responsible for the creation of Wrath, he killed the first twelve candidates in painful experiments before turning the remaining men into expendable mindless Elite Mooks. He not only slits Riza's throat in an attempt to force a Sadistic Choice on Roy but also disgusts both Roy and Zampano with his smug belief that the candidates must have been grateful to him for taking them in, feeding them, educating them and giving them the meaning of existence. No tear is shed when Pride and Wrath use him as an alchemic resource, leaving him a hideous ball of flesh.
  • General Raven and his associates in Central Command are a corrupt group of military officials who aid the Homunculi's plans to usurp humanity in a bid to grant themselves immortality. These include instigating multiple civil wars to complete Father's Transmutation circle, such as the Ishvalan genocide. When Raven arrives at Fort Briggs to cover up Sloth's attack, he tries to persuade Major General Armstrong to join them while leaving several of her troops for dead. Much later, during Roy Mustang's coup of Central City, General Clemin callously writes off the Fuhrer's wife as expendable when she's taken hostage. Central Command oversees the creation of the Immortal Legion, an army of tormented monstrosities created from Philosopher's Stones. While claiming to be making a new, better world, the Central Commanders' utter lack of remorse for their crimes makes it abundantly clear they only care about their own supposed entitlement to eternal life. It is incredibly satisfying when the Major General gets done playing tit-for-tat with Raven's vile seductions and promptly reduces him to foundation via sword stab into cement.
• Fushigi Yuugi: The Emperor of Kutou is a vile, sleazy, Smug Snake who commits genocide on peaceful tribes. Also a rapist and pedophile, he violates the youthful Nakago, causing his Start of Darkness. While most other villains are given levels of tragedy and catharsis, there is no individual who stands more loathed by everyone who knows him than the emperor, with Nakago plotting his death for years.
• Gate has its own version of Joffrey, Zorzal El Caesar — and he's every bit as depraved as his Western counterpart. The little turd exists only to show the worst traits of the Empire.
• Geneshaft:
  • Lord Sergei the 4th Sneak is the terrorist leader allied with the AI Oberon. A misogynist and misanthrope, Sneak hates the woman-run society and plays both the government and the terrorists to destroy it. Sneak is also abusive to his subordinates, most of whom are women, and is uncaring if they die, getting many of them killed in suicide missions and personally killing one. Utterly obsessed with perfection, Sneak is a narcissist who orchestrates every death in the plot to Kill All Humans and replace them with a perfect new race.
  • Captain Jean Gedoo/Gedoux is a Psychopathic Manchild who represents the corruption within the government. Ordered to capture the Strain crew heroines, Jean hounds them, abuses his subordinate, and disobeys orders by trying to kill the Strain crew to get at his rival Mario. When his subordinate accidentally wipes out nearly their whole fleet, Jean blames her for his own recklessness and takes the opportunity to make himself the new commander. He then gloats about killing General Natalie, a dear friend of Mario's, and ultimately gets them both killed.
• Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex:
  • Despite their brief screentime, CIA agents Suzuki Sato and Tanaka Watanabe stand out as particularly detestable. They manipulate Section 9 in an attempt to cover up a brutal war crime without any moral qualms or empathy and later attempt to help Kazundo Gohda, who has caused multiple murders and atrocities, defect and evade justice for his crimes. Once the true nature of the agents emerges, everyone in Section 9 is disgusted at them, with Batou punching Sato in rage and later insulting Watanabe the next time they meet.
  • Kazundo Gouda, the head of the Japanese Cabinet Intelligence Service and the mastermind behind the Individual Eleven, is a truly loathsome man. Despite his status as a very powerful bureaucrat, Gouda desires even greater power and will stop to any moral low to gain it. Devoid of charisma or empathy, Gouda acts rude and condescending to his peers despite his own mediocre skills, manipulates both the government and the refugees for his own ends, and directly causes multiple mass murders and a coup attempt just to satiate his ego. Even before the full scale of his atrocities are revealed, the members of Section 9 instantly dislike and distrust him, with Batou taking great pleasure in making Gouda scream in terror by grabbing him while jumping from a helicopter. Once Gouda's crimes are revealed, Section 9 are repulsed by his actions and become openly opposed to him.
• Shiho Nishizumi from Girls und Panzer, is cold, abrasive toward others, disapproves of her daughter abandoning her tank to save the lives of her teammates, and is considering disowning Miho because she doesn't like the way she does tankery. To drive things home, it's clear that Miho has given up on actively trying to gain Shiho's approval, and the only reason Maho does what Shiho tells her to as Nishizumi heiress is so that Miho will be able to live as she wishes.
  • By the time of Der Film, Tsuji Kota, the MEXT official who ordered Oarai Academy to be shut down also counts. At the time of his introduction in the anime, general consensus was that he was just doing his job, but the idea that he was anything close to a Reasonable Authority Figure faded in the movie, when he went back on his (non-written) promise. He did his utmost to try to prevent the students from doing anything, first by threatening to fire the employees working at the school if the girls protested, and later, after being forced into allowing the girls another chance to win for their school, forced them to fight the professional University Strengthened Team in an 8 on 30 annihilation match, while also allowing the UST significantly better weapons than most of the other teams could manage. By comparison, the actual leader of the University Strengthened Team (the team Oarai must defeat to remain open) is a sympathetic character who becomes friends with the protagonist. And the above mentioned Shiho Nishizumi is appalled by his actions for the aforementioned closing of Oarai Academy.
• Goblin Slayer:
  • The Goblins are an Always Chaotic Evil race that exist to make other people's lives as miserable as possible. They have no sympathetic qualities in the slightest, and will take advantage of anyone who shows them mercy. They kill every non-goblin they get a hold of and will rape any woman they capture. For every Kick the Dog moment they commit, you're going to want the Goblin Slayer to kill them as brutally as possible.
  • The Rhea Scout presents himself as a cheerful adventurer, but it's quickly revealed during his interview by Guild Girl that he was hording loot from his party, who are in desperate need of money, not just for good equipment, but also to provide for their families, making it clear he cared little for his comrades. Additionally, he secretly lusts after Guild Girl. When things turn sour for him during the interview, he thought about attacking Guild Girl, but only stops himself when he realizes that Goblin Slayer is in the room with them, and wouldn't have hesitate to kill him if he went through with it. He later joins forces with Dark Elf, just so he can take revenge on Goblin Slayer and Guild Girl for outing him as a thief, despite it being his own doing. He dies messily for his efforts, courtesy of Goblin Slayer. For an added bonus, he has a near similar mindset to a goblin, given his greed, lust, and vengeful nature.
• In Great Pretender, few characters are set up to be as despised as Makoto's father. He was a respected and beloved lawyer, shown to be a devoted father and family man... who used his position as a lawyer to become a child trafficker, appointing himself the legal guardian of children from impoverished nations to bring them to Japan and then sell them in a Slave Market. This also lead to Makoto's Start of Darkness, since no one would hire him since he was the son of a notorious criminal—leading to Makoto becoming a crook himself. It says something that none of the first three arc's Asshole Victims are positioned to be quite so detestable. However, it later turns out that he was Good All Along—he was using his position as a lawyer to save those children and place them with foster families, but he willingly took a fall to help conceal the group of chivalrous conmen he worked with.
• Guilty Crown: Hirohide Nanba and Takaomi Sudou are prominent examples of school bullies who are more unpleasant than GHQ themselves. They constantly harass and put down Arisa, in which hold Ayase and Tsugumi hostage at the auditorium, and even go as far as even try to rape them. No one misses them when Gai uses their own Voids to killing them.
• Happy Sugar Life: In a series full of psychotic characters, these two make even Psycho Lesbian Satou look like a saint in comparison.
  • The Manager of the Princess Imperial, the antagonist of the first episode, initially seems to be Satou's Benevolent Boss. In truth, she is a narcissistic Attention Whore who becomes envious of Satou for being well-received by her co-workers. When Taiyou Mitsuboshi, a teen boy under her employ, asks Satou out, the manager's ego is so bruised that she proceeds to kidnap him, lock in in a closet for a whole week, and rape him repeatedly throughout, directly leading to Taiyou's Sanity Slippage and turn to darkness. She also orders her employees to sabotage Satou's work to get back at her for daring to catch Taiyou's attention but that's already the least of your worries when she already had rape in her rapsheet of crimes. What makes this monster even more baffling is that she doesn't even get her proper comeuppance, instead vanishing after the first chapter. Despite she's only the first villain in the story, she's a testament on how awful people in the setting can be.
  • Mr. Kobe, the Kobe family patriarch who is Shio and Asahi's father and a major Greater-Scope Villain, stands out as a parental abuser who even Satou's aunt pales in comparison to. An alcoholic, he spares no love for his wife Yuuna and children, beating them frequently and using them to fuel his unhealthy habits. A flashback would later reveal that he also raped his future wife because she accidentally pushed him, celebrated the death of his own father because it left him with a big inheritance, left his wife and son, and only came back after spending all his money. It is no wonder that Yuuna ran away with Shio, and Asahi rejoiced when he died. A truly nightmarish abuser, Mr. Kobe undoubtedly deserves to be called a demon by Asahi.
• Hayate the Combat Butler has Hayate's father and mother, an unemployed man and compulsive gambler respetively, who leech off their son when he has to take jobs to earn money to support his life and sell his organs to the Yakuza to pay off their debts. When they make their appearance in the final Story Arc, they sabotage Hayate's job as Nagi's butler both for the fun of ruining the former's life and to get latter's money. This makes it so satisfying when they finally get their well-deserved punishment.
• Hello! Sandybell: Kitty is a self-centered Attention Whore who's incapable of thinking about anyone other than herself. A good chunk of the early episodes involve her trying to deface Sandybell's reputation in one way or the other because Sandybell either stood up to her animal abuse or called her behaviour out. She's also a Green-Eyed Monster when it comes to Mark and frequently makes him uncomfortable. Even when Sandybell moves to London, Kitty is petty enough to start working at the same place she does, because she's a Jerkass. If it wasn't for the job waking her up and helping her realize what a Spoiled Brat she had been, Kitty would have stayed this way til the end of the anime.
• Hellsing: Zorin Blitz is an incompetent, vile military commander in contrast to the despicable but brilliant Major and cements her loathsomeness in her callous mistreatment of her men and use of her psychic abilities to leave her enemies in mental anguish and helpless as she slashes through swathes of the Wild Geese, completely lacking in any intelligence or admirable traits to offset her nature. Her brutal death at the hands of Seras is very well-deserved.
• Hideout: Miki Kirishima is Seichi's selfish wife. She blamed her husband for the death of their son, Jun, only to later reveal that she never wanted a child to begin with when Seichi suggested that they start over with a new child. She later tried to leave her husband to be devoured by a monster in a cave out of spite.
• Higehiro: Sayu's mother is a callous, selfish woman who abuses her daughter over something that wasn't her fault, acts like a spoiled brat when things inconvenience her, accuses her daughter of killing her Best Friend despite her being severely traumatized by her suicide, and when her daughter runs away and comes back, she slaps her and then gripes about how unsavory rumors have been popping up since Sayu's disappearance. In the end, she only takes Sayu back in due to peer pressure from Yoshida and Issa more than anything else.
• High School D×D has many antagonists, but these particular four characters earn the honor of being the most loathsome:
  • Raynare, the Starter Villain and Token Motivational Nemesis, gets close to Issei only so she can murder him and steal his Sacred Gear. She later kills Asia Argento and steals her Sacred Gear right in front of him, continuing to toy with his feelings. She's not even liked by her own allies, and in the end, her Stupid Evil tendencies get her taken down by Issei as he leaves her to be finished off by his love interest Rias Gremory. Even after she is long dead her actions at the beginning is why Issei is Oblivious to Love.
  • Diodora Astaroth, an associate of the Khaos Brigade, was the Devil that Asia healed, intentionally getting her excommunicated from the church and planned her death so he could her resurrect her as part of his peerage. He wants to make Asia a part of his harem, seeing her only as a sex toy to play with. His disregard for her earns him the ire of Issei's peerage, and his well-deserved beatdown.
  • Abyss Rage Dragon: Níðhǫggr, kidnaps Issei's parents, uses them as hostages to beat the crap out of Ophis, and then fantasizes about how good the former couple will taste in front of their son while fondly reminiscing over his beatdown on the latter. His actions are so abhorrent and cowardly that fellow Evil Dragon Crom Cruach turns on him.
  • Rizevim Livan Lucifer is the son of the original Lucifer and Vali's Grandfather. His only good quality is the fact that he loves his mother Lilith. He is abusive to his son and grandson, loves to Kick the Dog, and because of his powers he goes unpunished for most of his atrosities. This does bite him later on to the point of his death, he then uses his soul to awaken Trihexa as his last laugh.
• Hunter × Hunter:
  • Tonpa, a Fat Bastard who intentionally sets back the main characters and other participants of the Hunter exams for no other reason than to see them fail and does it with absolutely sadistic glee, to the point that he's nicknamed "Tonpa the rookie crusher." To make matters worse he gets zero comeuppance for his shenanigans that could potentially get someone killed.
  • While a very minor character, Zenji the arrogant mafia boss who repeatedly provoked Kurapika before and once after Kurapika breaks his nose after he picked the wrong time to antagonize him was also one.
  • The Chimera Ant Shaiapouf is presented with absolutely zero redeeming qualities, even compared to the rest of his species who border Always Chaotic Evil. He's a Smug Snake, Ax-Crazy yandere for their king, and a Manipulative Bastard who's willing to deceive and throw his own allies under the bus. He's even willing to betray the king and defy his wishes under a misguided sense that it's for his own good, which almost gets himself killed at least once.
  • The unnamed Gun-Toting Chimera Ant officer that not only sadistically kills several humans but brutally murders fan favorite Ponzu was immediately despised by the fandom. He fortunately gets his comeuppance when Bonolenov squashes him flat.
  • Zig-Zagged by Pariston Hill, who's initially presented as the sociopathic, Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, Token Evil Teammate of the Hunter Association (for God's sake, they call the man "the Rat") who indirectly got Chairman Netero killed by refusing him backup to fight the Ants. However at the end of the arc it's revealed to be a complex case of Good All Along, as he was never a bad guy; just a massive troll with Blue-and-Orange Morality who genuinely respected Netero.
• Hypnosis Mic: The D.H. vs. B.A.T. manga gives us Fuuri Iyogi. He initially presents himself as a friendly guy who befriends Jyushi over a shared interest in Visual Kei music, but his admiration for him wavers after learning that Jyushi carries around a stuffed pig named Amanda, and it ends up shattering completely after Jyushi outshines Iyogi in a karaoke session. From that point on, Iyogi shows his true colors and dedicates himself to making Jyushi’s life as miserable as possible, harshly bullying the poor boy on a daily basis, but he solidifies himself as an absolute scumbag when he baits Jyushi’s grandmother into running in the street, which results in her getting hit by a truck and dying shortly after. When Hitoya charges him for robbery and murder in court and sentences him to 15 years of hard labor, Iyogi is reduced to a blubbering, cowardly mess. While the Big Bad Duumvirate of Otome and Ichijiku are merciless misandrists running a corrupt Matriarchy, they have decent reasons for adopting their mindsets and they aren’t completely devoid of redeeming qualities in that they do have people they genuinely care about. Iyogi, on the other hand, is just a Dirty Coward who resorted to some horrific bullying just because his “friend” upstaged him in karaoke.
• I Belong to the Baddest Girl at School has Aika, who gleefully torments Fuyuhiko and never suffers any consequences for it, which certainly doesn't endear her to the other characters, nor to the audience. Even when she becomes a nicer character, her sadistic nature never truly goes away.
• I Married My Best Friend to Shut My Parents Up has Machi's parents, particularly her mother. Not only does their constantly pressuring their daughter to get a good husband kick off the plot by causing Machi to accept her friend Hana's offer for a sham marriage, but they were extremely strict about her education, to the point at which Machi's mother scolded her for getting a 90 out of 100 on a test. To make matters worse, Machi's mother has a negative view of homosexuality, and openly insults Hana for what she views as disgusting behavior.
• I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss:
  • Prince Cedric Jean Ellmeyer, Aileen's former fiancé and Claude's younger brother. He's a despicable scumbag who kickstarts the plot by forcefully ending his engagement to Aileen because he fell for another woman, and yet he still feels entitled to her and continues to treat her terribly because he doesn't like her assertive personality and because she fell in love with his older bother Claude (whom he despises), completely ignorant that Lilia was only using him as part of her "game" against Aileeen. Likewise, as soon as he takes over Aileen's business, he fires all the people he hired just because they were connected to her. (though one character suggests that he's doing it out of crazy jealousy towards anyone who would be near to Lilia. This does not him favors when he tries to attack and arrest Aileen out in the middle of his engagement party instead of accepting her concession of defeat and proof that she won't harm Lilia, showing him like an unstable maniac and cancelling his engagement to Lilia; and after that he tries to rape Aileen, and when this is found out, he's forced to abdicate his claim into the throne.
  • Lilia Reinoise, who was originally the heroine of the otome game the series is set into, is anything but a heroine thanks to Media Transmigration. Not as obvious as Cedric (whom she turned into the worst version of himself by exploiting her game knowledge), but Lilia is just as much of a petty and detestable character as him. Her true self is a bitchy egomaniac who wants to ruin Aileen's life so she can have her ideal life as an otome game's protagonist no matter how many people die in the "game" she is playing. By the start of the series, she has gained over Cedric and Marx acting like a sweet lady and Playing the Victim Card and tries to do so with Claude by trying to set him into the Demon King route, only for Claude to find her advances repulsive. She later tries to forge threat notes to herself to frame up Aileen of kidnapping, which only contributes to make Cedric lose his claim to the throne when Aileen foils this. She also managed to corrupt Selena Gilbert, the heroine of the sequel game, by using Selena's admiration of her and turning Selena into a much worse person than her game self, all to confirm Aileen is a reincarnator and making Selena take the fall for her.
• Juujika no Rokunin: All of the bullies are monsters. Asides from regularly torturing 12-year-old Shun Uruma, they even went as far as killing his parents in an orchestrated car crash, beating his younger brother in a comatose, and getting away with their crimes. Worse, when they become older, they continue to make other people's lives worse. Due to their irredeemable personalities, it does not come off as surprising when Uruma eventually kills most of his bullies for all the hell they put him through...
  • This also applies to almost EVERY VILLAIN in the series besides the bullies. From committing acts of rape to abusing their victims, it's no surprise as to how the protagonist would dispose of each and everyone one of those villains throughout the story.
• Kaguya-sama: Love Is War:
  • Oko is the human embodiment of the Shinomiya creed, and is thus a deplorable excuse for a human being. He may have been a victim of his father's harsh rules once upon a time, but he embraces the power he has inherited and wields it to the detriment of those he considers inferior. On top of his misogynistic and traditionalist mindset, Oko firmly believes he has the right to control his little sister's life as he sees fit by justifying it as "for her own good". Oko's petty attitude and lack of charisma alienate his father and his brother Unyo, who rightfully believe that the Shinomiya family is guaranteed to collapse if Oko were left in charge. In a series where characters grow past their flaws and try to become better people for the sake of those they love and who love them in return, Oko's stagnant attitude makes him the perfect villain.
  • Ogino. He was cheating on his girlfriend, and tried to buy Ishigami's silence when he found out (by offering to let him sleep with said girlfriend). Then he pulled a Deliberate Injury Gambit, making it look like Ishigami was a Stalker with a Crush.
  • Shirogane's mother. She abandoned her husband and son when they failed to live up to her high standards, and was demanding enough towards Kei for her to run away from her back to her father. Even though she's been out of their lives for seven years now, a lot of Shirogane's present issues can be traced back to her, making it clear that the audience is supposed to hold her in contempt for her perfectionist attitude.
• Kaitou Saint Tail's Rina Takamiya is a Clingy Jealous Girl extraordinaire who uses violence to try and get her way, is selfish to the point of having absolutely no consideration for anyone's feelings, approaches her Love Interest Asuka Jr. by treating him as a Property of Love and acting Entitled to Have You, and responds to "rivals" for his affection (and things she doesn't like in general) by being generally manipulative and cruel. Amusingly, while series author Tachikawa had deliberately intended for her to be a Hate Sink, she was taken aback by how well it worked to the point she received droves of fan mail expressing hatred for her, and commented that her selfishness probably felt a little too viscerally tangible compared to the much more selfless and kind Meimi. Later chapters of the manga do put Takamiya through a bit of a Break the Haughty experience while the anime gives her a bit of an Adaptational Nice Guy treatment, perhaps in response to Tachikawa wanting to show off more of her "cute side".
• In Kotoura-san both of Haruka's parents. The mom Kumiko, while is a Jerkass who did disown her daughter due to revealing her affair and considered to send her to a mental ward, paid the price for her own actions and came to regret the disownment; she really did try to help Haruka but failed. The father? He's a Karma Houdini.
• Kuroko's Basketball:
  • Hanamiya from Kirisaki Daiichi and Haizaki from Fukuda High were designed to be hated, and they've been given horrible characterizations. Hanamiya is primarily motivated to injure his opponents and potentially cripple them for his own entertainment, using underhanded tactics that are overlooked by the referees. Haizaki has no respect for anyone (except Akashi) and mistreats his older teammates, he is proud of stealing moves and he's also very prone to violent acts outside of the court. Neither of the two are shown to care that much about basketball despite being very talented players.
  • Tsugawa from Seihou High is portrayed as a very annoying player who keeps talking trash to his opponents, to the point that even his own teammates are annoyed by it. His excellent defense and being able force his opponent to foul him multiple times also makes him a very frustrating opponent. Also a Sore Loser.
• Lady!! has the Waverly family.
  • Madeleine Waverly doesn't hide her contempt for Lynn and Sarah (especially Lynn), and endlessly screams abuses her, while treating her children Thomas and Mary as if they can do no wrong. She's also the reason Lynn was driven to leave England in the first season's Grand Finale.
  • Mary Waverly is a Manipulative Bitch who frequently bullies Lynn to petty degrees, like taunting her by taking her bunny, and revels in seeing Lynn break. Though she has pangs of guilt sometimes, what cements her as the vilest of the three is when she tries to coax the Russells to bankruptcy in the Grand Finale using her grandfather's influence. Mary is also so petty that she sabotages her own friends so they can't win the Crest, being driven by her own envy towards Lynn.
  • Thomas Waverly frequently bullies children that are smaller than him (even physically harming them through his BB gun), and is also terrible to the staff of Marble Mansion. He has an entitled attitude towards women and is a Stalker with a Crush to Patricia.
• La Seine No Hoshi:
  • The French aristocrats as a whole. They don't view the commoners as human and only see them as sources of labour, even finding their protests for ther living conditions to improve as a nuisance. They're also not above using violence to keep them in place and willing to kill children.
  • The main character's parents were killed by a Spoiled Brat of a woman who was mad that they delivered flowers to someone she didn't like.
  • Crozier enforces heavy taxes on his citizens and secretly embezzles from them, manipulates his niece and later kills her, imprisons Marianne's father because he found out about his corruption and is generally, a sour-tempered, selfish, lavishness-obsessed Rich Bastard.
• Lyrical Nanoha:
  • Quattro, a Smug Snake who at her best, enjoys making fun of her younger sisters and at her worst, has absolutely no regard for human life and thinks those who do so are foolish, and this in a series with only a couple actually evil characters out of a massive cast. She gets even more hate points with everything she does to Vivio. That she is such a rat bastard definitely makes her Villainous Breakdown all the sweeter when Nanoha blasts the crap out of her from across an entire space ship. Yes, even through the walls.
  • Back in the days, Presea Testarossa was made with this trope in mind. She was horrifically abusive to Fate, treats her as nothing but a tool that she despises and all around a horrid mother, that she'll shoot right up as one of the worst mothers ever and an utterly unsympathetic person. However, once the series gained popularity, especially also Fate's popularity, they decided to tone this down, turning Presea into a more sympathetic Tragic Villain Jerkass Woobie, and the INNOCENT manga revamps Presea into a doting mother.
  • ViVid Strike! has the trio of bullies. Angered by Rinne's refusal to join their martial arts club (Rinne wants to go home and see her ailing grandfather), they bully her over a period of several months, culminating in destroying the tiepin Rinne got from her grandfather, breaking her phone and knocking her unconscious, preventing Rinne from seeing her grandfather before he dies. The next day, Rinne flies into a rage and brutally beats up the three. Immediately afterward, one of them lies to her brother and claims Rinne attacked her without any provocation, clearly intending to manipulate him into seeking revenge on Rinne.
  • Once Maxwell's true nature is revealed in Detonation, he easily becomes one of the most, if not the most, despicable villain in the Nanoha canon. Hell, unlike the majority of Nanoha villains, he doesn't even have a Freudian Excuse to justify his atrocities. He just caused death and destruction on a massive scale all for the flimsiest of reasons.
• In Majestic Prince, we have Captain Komine. The Wulgaru are hard to hate, since they have a serious case of Blue-and-Orange Morality, and there is a certain nobility to them, despite (or perhaps, because of) them being a race of social Darwinists. Komine, on the other hand, is an incompetent fool who spends pretty much his whole time onscreen making things difficult for the young heroes and the rest of the military, being a Jerkass and pointing fingers at his underlings for his own screw-ups.
• Metroid (Manga): Ridley, the Arch-Enemy of Samus Aran, is at his most despicable in this story. Instead of feeling remorse, Ridley relishes the fact he massacred the K-2L colony and killed Samus's mother, using these memories to mentally break Samus on their second encounter. Later on, he murders her adopted family, the Chozo, on Zebes at Mother Brain's command; all while beating up and mocking Samus for being a weak human. It becomes satisfying to see Samus kick Ridley's ass by the end of the manga.
• Michiko & Hatchin:
  • Hatchin's foster family from the very first episode are singularly awful in their abuse and bullying of Hatchin. The stepsiblings bully her near on all the time, and the stepmother makes her do all the chores and even makes life harder for her by making her clean up messes she herself makes. And when Michiko, the other half of this Badass and Child Duo, kidnaps Hatchin, the foster father assumes she did this to hurt him and decides to try to collect on Hatchin's life insurance by trying to murder her. Not exactly Parents of the Year.
  • Shinsuke Rodriguez is a vicious gangster under Satoshi Batista but lacks any of his boss' nobility, charm or intelligence. After betraying Satoshi, Shinsuke spends the rest of the series cowardly running for his life and when finally drawn out by Satoshi, has his men easily dispatched and pathetically dies crying and begging for his life.
• The Misfit of Demon King Academy: Emilia Ludowell's pretty much the perfect embodiment of everything terrible about the modern demon royalty, being a condescending racist bastard who refuses to acknowledge Anos' power purely due to his hybrid nature, and eventually takes this racism so far she tries to kill Anos mother purely to spite him. It's subverted once she suffers post-transformation, becoming The Atoner in later appearances.
• The Mobile Suit Gundam metaseries is not without its fair share of detestable bastards...
  • Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: Of the ensemble of antagonists in this series, all of the villains manage to avoid this trope somehow by either having sympathetic motives or being as cool as they are evil. Paptimus Scirocco maintains an aura of intrigue and charm throughout the series preventing him from being fully detestable, Titan leader Jamitov Hymen is revealed in side material to be a genuine Well-Intentioned Extremist, and Haman Karn Used to Be a Sweet Kid. Even Yazan Gable, a despicable mass murderer and Psycho for Hire, is a Badass Normal who is in strict Love to Hate territory and is one of the best pilots in the franchise. However, these two are far more easy to loathe:
    • Bask Om, the second-in-command of the Titans, is introduced beating war-hero Bright Noah for opposing a dangerous order. Favoring brutality in his army, Bask takes Kamille Bidan's mother as a hostage to retrieve the Gundam MK-II before lying to Jerid Messa to get him to shoot at her capsule, killing her in front of her son. Using the Titans to commit multiple atrocities against them, the Titans use nerve gas against whole space colonies—killing all of their inhabitants—and experiment on teenagers to create Cyber Newtypes, unstable soldiers in semi-perpetual agony. Murderous, hateful and violent, Bask's brutality makes him stand out as the worst of the leadership of the Titans, leading to their being outlawed and eventual downfall.
    • Kamille's father Franklin Bidan is a negligent and abusive workaholic who cheats on his wife. Taken as a hostage by the Titans and saved by the AEUG, Franklin betrays them and tries to escape back to the Titans even after they killed his own wife, wanting to continue his work creating Mobile Suits and being willing to shoot at his own son. A man without concern for anything or anyone but his work, his only passion in life, Franklin is the main reason behind Kamille's notorious anger issues.
  • After War Gundam X: Seidal Rasso is depicted as the most morally black character in the series with his arrogance, cruelty, and bigotry emphasizing how detestable he is. It's especially clear with how the other central villains, Bloodman and the Frost brothers, are given sympathetic moments which Rasso never has.
  • Mobile Suit Gundam SEED:
    • Muruta Azrael is the leader of the terrorist hate group Blue Cosmos. Motivated by his hatred toward the Coordinators due to being bullied by them as a child, Azrael uses his influences to ensure control over the Atlantic Federation and the Earth Alliance Forces. The entire war between the Earth Alliance and the PLANT colonies is a result of Azrael's doing, having orchestrated the nuclear attack on Junius 7: the Bloody Valentine Tragedy, which resulted in the deaths of over 200,000 Coordinators. In the present day, Azrael embraces the radicalization of the war, intending to end the war with a genocidal attack towards the homeland of the Coordinators. Azrael has no capacity of care for any of his allies and constantly abuses them, leading to his own death once the captain of his ship betrays him and sacrifices herself to ensure Azrael dies with her. A genocidal bigot who used children and teenagers in experiments to enhance their combat skills, Azrael's actions continued haunting the Cosmic Era long after his demise.
    • Al Da Flaga was an abusive parent who disinherited his own son, Mu La Flaga, for a grudge with his mother, seeing Mu as tainted for his mother's DNA. A narcissist that saw himself as a superior human, Al contacted the amoral scientist Ulen Hibiki and funded his investigation to clone himself. Subjecting his first clone to emotional abuse and traumatizing him, Al would go on to clone himself again after discovering genetic defects in the original. Dying in a fire caused by the first clone, said clone — Rau Le Creuset — grew up as an omnicidal misanthrope manipulator who saw himself as the embodiment of the failures of the world, and would ultimately attempt to destroy humanity itself on the premise that Humans Are Bastards.
    • Ulen Hibiki is the biological father of Kira Yamato and Cagalli Yula Athha. An amoral scientist that wanted to create the Ultimate Coordinator, Ulen forced his own wife, Via Hibiki, to use their children's embryos for his experiments. Showing no concern for her mental health, Ulen verbally abused his wife and ignored her concerns regarding their children. Merely "allowing" Via to keep the unborn Cagalli just to shut her up, Ulen declared Kira his son, not Via's, while adamantly stating that he would continue his experiments despite her understandable grievances. Having accepted funds from the above-mentioned Al Da Flaga, Ulen took part in creating clones to fulfill the wishes of a narcissist, realizing and taking part in more illegal experiments despite his earlier hesitance.
  • Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny:
    • Lord Djibril, the successor of Muruta Azrael, is just as hateful as his predecessor but without any of his seemingly charismatic behavior or intelligence. Succeeding Azrael as Blue Cosmos' leader, Djibril takes advantage of the worldwide tragedy of the Colony Drop of Junius 7 to plunge Earth and the PLANTs into a new war with a nuclear attack in the colonies. Continuing the Bio-CPU Program through the Extended and brainwashing Mu La Flaga into Neo Roanoke, he unleashes the Destroy Gundam — piloted by Stella Loussier, one of the Extended — in Eurasia, destroying many cities and leading to Stella's death. Firing the Requiem and personally killing a million Coordinators, Djibril congratulates himself for having the guts to perform such a malicious act. Cowardly abandoning his allies once things get hard while entertaining plans to rule the world, Djibril is a petty and genocidal bully with the resources of a state, standing in sharp contrast to Gilbert Durandal, his sympathetic and likable rival.
    • Yuna Roma Seiran is a noble of Orb who becomes Cagalli's fiancee due to an Arranged Marriage agreed to in the past. Antagonizing his fiancee and mistrusting her allies, Yuna manipulates Cagalli into accepting a treaty with the Earth Alliance despite her unwillingness until she leaves Orb to join to the Three Ship Alliance. Attempting to win a reputation within the Earth Alliance, Yuna constantly sacrifices his own forces in vain attempts while blaming his failures on others, unable to admit that Cagalli abandoned him for his cowardice and impulsivity. Giving refuge to the above-mentioned Lord Djibril while pathetically trying to hide it, Seiran's family causes Orb to be invaded by ZAFT. Arrested for treason after believing that Cagalli would save him, Yuna dies trying to escape from a battle that he caused.
  • Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom has Agnes Giebenrath, who represents the worst of Coordinators. She is a detestable person from start to finish, making the particularly snobby yet tragic Flay Allster (whom she shares her voice actress with) look far more decent in comparison. She doesn't care about the feelings of other people, and tries to insert herself with other men who already have relationships (she once stole Lunamaria Hawke's first boyfriend from her), and even attempts to make a move on Kira of all people. When Kira rejects her (as he is already in love with Lacus Clyne), she betrays him for the Foundation out of petty spite and takes interest in Shura Serpentine. Ultimately, her betrayal is All for Nothing in the end. She suffers a humiliating defeat at Lunamaria's hands and watches as the entire Black Knight Squad, including Shura, are all killed, leaving Agnes all alone without anyone to turn to as the Foundatiom crumbles. It is a sign of her character where almost all tropes associated with her are entirely negative.
  • Mobile Suit Gundam 00 has a few villains in strict Love to Hate territory, such as The Chessmaster Ribbons Allmark and Yazan Gable Expy Ali Al-Saachez. Aside from them, most of the people Celestial Being fights are anti-villains who only oppose them out of loyalty to their nation (like Sergei Smirnov) or having an agenda towards them (like Graham Aker or Louise Halevy). But then you got these assholes...
    • While Johann Trinity is an Affably Evil Knight Templar who genuinely believes that what he's doing will make the world a better place, his brother and sister are nothing short of loathsome. Michael Trinity is a condescending bully who gets his kicks from picking fights and threatening just about everyone he talks to, being crass, rude, and needlessly hateful to everyone he interacts with. Nena Trinity isn't as outwardly unpleasant, but just as heartless and petty as she bombs a wedding with her Throne simply because she was agitated from doing missions back-to-back... and just because. Michael winds up being responsible for killing Graham's wingman Howard Mason, all because he didn't want to retreat after helping Johann assassinate Ralph Eifman, and Nena was directly responsible for the death of the entire Halevy family (aside from Louise). And neither give it any thought because Michael and Nena don't care about anyone aside from themselves and Johann. It should also be noted that while Johann died in an Alas, Poor Villain moment, both Michael and Nena died without any form of sympathy. Michael was killed shortly before Johann in a completely sudden, unremarkable and underwhelming way, shot in the chest by Ali with no warning. Later, Nena would meet a painful end 5 years later when Louise hunted her down and utterly brutalized her.
    • Wang Liu Mei ends up showing her true colors in the Second Season after the First Season portrayed her as a morally ambiguous figure. Ultimately, behind her every facade, Liu Mei is selfish to the point of caring for no one but herself, and even joins Ribbons so that she might become an Innovator. She even mistreats her brother Hong Long and completely disregards his death, admitting that she'll sacrifice anyone she pleases just to get the future she deserves. She was such an unlikable bitch that even Ribbons, perhaps the most evil man in the Anno Domini timeline, is annoyed by her and even lashes out at her at one point for her smug behavior. In fact, some even cheered for Nena — someone on this list of Hate Sinks — when she later turned against Liu Mei and fragged her into space dust.
    • The higher ups in the A-LAWS are not as prominent characters as the above, but just as disgusting. Arthur Goodman embodies the sheer brutality and arrogance of the A-LAWS, but carries none of the intrigue as his superiors; being an expy to the above-mentioned Bask Om, he's a Smug Snake and a Fat Bastard who willingly condones mass murder and has no sympathetic backstory to keep anyone from rooting for his demise. Also from the A-LAWS, Aber Lindt is just as apathetic and heartless, being personally responsible for the Katharon Massacre and the deaths of millions via the use of the Memento Mori. Neither of their deaths are mourned, and they go out like the Dirty Cowards they are.
  • Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans has Iok Kujan, a fleet commander for Rustal Elion and self-righteous General Failure who constantly gets people killed out of sheer incompetence. He ignored a surrender signal from one of his opponents just so he could crush them as a show of strength, used Dainsleif railguns on ships carrying women and children, and provided political support to the gangsters who killed Lafter, the Love Interest of Akihiro. What makes him extra infuriating is that he constantly gets away in spite of his dishonorable actions and general stupidity, up until he meets a very brutal Karmic Death at the hands of a vengeful Akihiro.
• Monster has quite a few:
  • The first two episodes have Dr. Heinemann, a corrupt hospital director who only cares about money, as well as his subordinates Oppenheim and Boyer, a pair of smug, amoral careerists who gladly do whatever he says. They steal the credit for Tenma's work, regularly attend to rich and influential patients ahead of those who came in first, which leads to a patient's death, and try to destroy Tenma's career out of spite when he disobeys orders. They're also petty enough to steal candy from Johan's bedside, which gets each of them a Karmic Death as Johan poisoned the candy.
  • Professor Günther Goedelitz, and the Neo-Nazis in general. Despite being a renowned professor at Dresden University, Goedelitz is secretly one of the 4 founders of the Neo-Nazi organization headquartered in Frankfurt. Epitomizing the most contemptible traits of political extremism and fanaticism, there is nothing remotely pleasant, sympathetic, or likable about him—nothing you might expect from an unrelenting psychopathic zealot devoid of redeeming qualities, whose actions and interests could place him right alongside Johan in terms of depravity (the monster himself). And unlike Johan, he doesn't even have a Freudian Excuse or a tragic past.
  • Mr. Hartmann is a sadistic official who oversaw 511 Kinderheim, torturing many children until Johan incited a massacre and destroyed the orphanage. He found himself delighted by Johan's abilities and reinvented himself as a social worker, attempting to re-create the experiment with a new series of children who he horrifically abuses in the hope that they'll turn out like Johan, with Dieter being his newest victim.
  • Blue Sophie is a prostitute who poses as Margot Langer to get Schuwald's money, laughing at Schuwald for paying up even though he knows she isn't the real thing. She also seems to find Johan's crimes amusing, and tries to intimidate and blackmail him, which gets her killed.
  • Inspector Zemen is a corrupt cop who works with the underground Czech police, and kidnaps and tortures Grimmer to make him give up the Kinderheim tape. He's only motivated by money and even demanded bribes to stay quiet about the other corrupt cops on the force.
  • Wim's bullies are portrayed as borderline sociopathic, as they viciously beat and abuse him on a daily basis, stealing his bike and money, and call him "trash" for having an alcoholic father. It's hard to mourn when they're killed in the massacre, with Wim only being concerned that he might have killed them himself.
• Monster Musume has the Racist Couple, an annoying and obnoxious pair of assholes who live up to their name by laughing at and repeatedly insulting various girls from Kimhito's ​monster girl harem. The man in particular is downright evil since in one chapter/episode he attempts to rape Centorea and uses legal loopholes to prevent her from fighting back, only being foiled by Rachnera's intervention. They generally get struck by karma shortly after they appear, and eventually they are possibly Killed Off for Real when they get in a really brutal car crash {And in the anime, a massive explosion that undoubtedly killed both of them}.
• As part of its deconstruction of the "Reborn as Villainess" Story genre, the original Pride Royal Ivy from The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess To Savior was clearly designed to be this. Unlike many other villainess in other similar works, she is depicted as a truly horrid, formidable and irredeemable sadist who loves to torment, manipulate and enslave the protagonists for her own twisted joy, something which makes the below-mentioned original Catarina Claes' villainy seem like child's play in comparison. Being the first daughter from the Royal Family who develops magic —and thus automatically chosen as the Crown Princess— provides her more ways to torment people and to get away scot-free with anything until the ending of the game. Fittingly, this causes her reincarnated version (the protagonist) to fill with more guilt and distress, so much that she tries to take the matters on her own hands and even tries to arrange with the capture targets to kill her should she become a tyrannical queen.
• My Hero Academia:
  • Until Character Development started to kick in, Katsuki Bakugo was an abusive Jerkass with a bad temper. He looked down on and bullied Midoriya for not having a Quirk, all the while loudly proclaiming how he would be the greatest hero of all time just because he has a good Quirk. Some of the most notable instances of his bullying included telling Midoriya to kill himself and trying to all but murder Midoriya during the Battle Trial Arc. However, after he receives several ego-shattering defeats, he starts to mellow out. This trope was possibly intended to be downplayed as Horikoshi has since stated that he regrets making Bakugo so horrible early on.
  • At first, there was almost nothing redeemable about Enji "Endeavor" Todoroki. He dedicated his life to a petty One Sided Rivalry against the #1 Hero, All Might, destroyed the family life he had with his wife and children, unintentionally drove his eldest son Toya into villainy after he considered him a failure, cared more about winning than being a hero, and has been putting Shoto into a cruel physically and emotionally abusive training ever since the boy was four or five. The closest thing he has to a redeemable quality is his concern for Shoto holding back in battle, but even that was for his own personal gain. Even Kōhei Horikoshi calls him a shitty dad. Outside of that, he's shown to be an asshole on the job, being a hero in the most technical of terms. He's very cold to fellow heroes and the people he's trying to save.
    • Subverted, however, as he has a Jerkass Realization and begins changing. Furthermore, his relationship with his wife is re-examined briefly when it's revealed the reason he chose her was to balance his shortcomings. She herself comments on how he had her favorite flowers delivered to her, despite her only mentioning once. Additionally, his concern for Shoto's restraint with his power becomes more prominent when it's shown how damaging Enji's own Quirk is to himself as well as to his firstborn, who had stronger flames, but a weaker constitution. Shoto is uninhibited by this weakness because of his ice, but without using his fire, he'd succumb to similar cold-related issues like frostbite. Additionally, his concern becomes more justified given the stronger foes that are coming and Shoto's own losses forcing him to having to improve.
  • Muscular, a villain who joins the League of Villains and helps them attack the training camp, endangering the lives of teenage heroes in training. As if this wasn't bad enough, he also murdered the Water Hose heroes (Kota's parents), For the Evulz, and tries to kill Kota before Midoriya intervenes. While some of the other League of Villains members have sympathetic traits, Muscular is nothing more than a psychotic murderer.
  • Not even students from other schools are except from this, Seiji “Sisicross” Shishikura is a condescending, hypocritical, unpleasant, and self-righteous Jerkass who believes himself the embodiment of what a hero should be while constantly putting down others. Even though he failed the Licensing Exam, he acts like it never happened and then told Bakugo to know his place, even though he, Kirishima and Kaminari beat him. His lack of redeeming qualities make him hard to like.
  • Overhaul is a ruthless Yakuza boss who abuses his young ward, Eri, draining her blood to make Quirk-destroying bullets, reassembling her body when she runs out of blood to give, and calling her a cursed being born to destroy people. The ordeal has traumatized her so much that even after his defeat, she doesn't know how to smile. He treats his subordinates no better, using one as a meat shield against Shigaraki, killing another for failure, and forcing two to become part of his One-Winged Angel forms. He has Nemoto use a Quirk-destroying bullet on Mirio, destroying the Nice Guy's promising career as a hero. Later chapters somewhat downplay this, as they reveal that he's a Well-Intentioned Extremist who wants his syndicate back to power in hopes of repaying his old boss, but even then, he put his boss in a coma in order to do so because his boss was against his methods. The Laser-Guided Karma hits him when Shigaraki and Mr. Compress destroy his arms to avenge Magne's death and the loss of Compress' left arm.
  • Kotaro Shimura, Tenko's/Tomura Shigaraki's father is ultimately responsible for creating the Big Bad of the series. A selfish, bitter, and hypocritical character with few redeemable qualities, he abuses a 5-year-old Tenko (and possibly his sister) and rules his family with an iron fist, with his number one rule being no talking about heroes. When he discovers Tenko secretly wanting to be a hero and uncovers him with a picture of his mother, he physically hits his own son. Although he does have a Freudian Excuse of his mother Nana Shimura abandoning him for his own safety, it's ultimately too late and his family is accidentally killed by Tenko due to his Quirk manifesting. Upon discovering his dead family and his now traumatized son, Kotaro instantly reacts with violence and hits Tenko before begging him to stop, which is the final nail in the coffin for Tenko to snap and kill him, starting him on the path to becoming Tomura Shigaraki. Sufficient to say, readers that were mourning mourned for Tenko and his family, not Kotaro. Although, Kotaro is later on shown with the rest of his family in Tomura's mind trying to save him from what All for One has in store for Tomura, implying he truly did regret his actions and his last act was less him actively ignoring his lesson of not having an iron grip over his family and more the destruction of everything he knew overwhelming the lesson.
• Shimada in My Monster Secret starts off mildly jerkish, but overtime gets Flanderized into a sleazebag Jerk with a Heart of Jerk and a Memetic Molester, who gets handcuffed on a regular basis. To the point learning she's gonna get married to him in the future sends Shiho into a Heroic BSoD.
• My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!:
  • In the in-universe game Fortune Lover, Catarina is an incredibly stuck-up Alpha Bitch who took delight in making the lives of everyone around her, especially Maria, a living hell, in turn making her the perfect cathartic target for exile or murder in the eyes of players. Thus, in the main story, Catarina, now cognizant of her past self who used to play the game, took great lengths to be a far better person that what she is supposed to be.
  • The story itself has a straight example in Marchioness Dieke, the Greater-Scope Villain of Volume 2/the second half of the anime's first season. She manages to cause most of the problems in the series by abducting her husband's mistress and illegitimate son Raphael in order to save her terminally ill son Sirius, then having Raphael' mother sacrificed in order to transfer Sirius' consciousness into Raphael. After the ritual is complete, she murders the dark mage who conducted the ritual, since he's no longer useful and knows about her wrongdoing. Unbeknownst to her, Sirius' consciousness failed to take root in Raphael, but the spirit of the dark magic user did manage to inhabit him, thus causing him to plot revenge against his stepmother. While the character's motivation of trying to save her son might come across as sympathetic, Raphael observes that Marchioness Dieke was purely selfish, and didn't care about Sirius as a person.
  • Thomas Coleman is portrayed as nothing more than a vicious bully who tortures his half-brother, Keith, for no reason other than petty spite. He is also one of the few villains to be killed off instead of redeemed.
  • In the On the Verge of Doom spin-off, Noelia Flores serves as this trope. In some ways, she's actually worse than Fortune Lover's Catarina, as her petty vendetta against Catarina is not so much rooted in entitlement towards someone she likes (such as the original Catarina towards Maria regarding Geordo) as much as in the simple fact that Catarina had the gall to call her out on bullying Sienna.
• Naruto:
  • Mizuki is the opening villain of the series. He takes advantage of Naruto's goal to be a ninja and reveals he's the container for the Kyuubi, while trying to kill fan-favorite Iruka. Brought back in a filler arc, he reveals that he had always been The Sociopath, hated his "friend" Iruka all along and was just using him, was secretly working for the then-Big Bad Orochimaru the whole time, was a Domestic Abuser to his Love Martyr fiance, has outright killed comrades in the past when convenient, and hates ramen.
  • Gato, the Arc Villain of the Land of Waves arc, is a Corrupt Corporate Executive who is bleeding the Land of Waves dry. He has Inari's stepfather brutally executed in order to serve as an example to would-be enemies and tries to have Inari's grandfather assassinated to prevent him from building a bridge to allow the country to trade freely. While Zabuza and Haku, the rogue ninja he hires, are entertaining to watch and have sympathetic traits, Gato is a reprehensible human being with no redeeming qualities.
  • Hidan is a cruel psychopath and member of a Religion of Evil, who worships violence and death, and sees mercy as a sin. He slaughtered his village simply because he was disgusted with their pacifistic way of life, and performed gruesome rituals to attain immortality for himself. Unlike the rest of the Akatsuki, he has no real Freudian Excuse for his actions.
  • Danzo himself is a major cause of much of the problems that would plague the series. No one in the Leaf Village particularly likes Danzo or his propensity for dirty work, with even Hiruzen only keeping him around in authority because Danzo is willing to Shoot the Dog and undergo Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work for the sake of the village, but even that tolerance reached its limit when Danzo's schemes got the Uchiha Clan slaughtered. Even the other Kages despised Danzo during the Kage Summit and the Third Tsuchikage, a fellow hardliner, gave Danzo a well-deserved "Reason You Suck" Speech for being an untrustworthy ambitious cynic after he tried to manipulate his way to reach his goals.
  • Black Zetsu is revealed to have manipulated the entire shinobi story, which turns him basically into this. And even discounting that, he's still a smug Jerkass who spent most of his time acting condescending and smarmy to his enemies, constantly gloating and never shutting up without prompting.
  • Yashiro Uchiha, a minor member of the Uchiha clan who showed up in the flashback arc leading up to the massacre, becomes this in Itachi's Story. He's a Jerkass who has little patience for Itachi's idealism, and while not the mastermind of the Uchiha plot for a coup, he was one of the members pushing Fugaku to rebel, despite warnings that it couldn't possibly end well for the clan or the village. When Itachi carries out the massacre, Yashiro begs for his life, and even dishonestly claims he'll call off the coup if he's spared. While Itachi is broken by slaughtering the clan, particularly killing his girlfriend, his parents (who Face Death with Dignity) and one of Danzo's subordinates^note One of two twins who impersonated a dead Uchiha and had to be killed to tie up loose ends he loathes Yashiro and feels no guilt about subjecting the man to a Cruel and Unusual Death by torturing him with Tsukuyomi, then decapitating him.
• An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess: Heronia is an In-Universe example, as a reincarnator who was originally the heroine of the Otome Game thinks the world exists solely for her and everyone should behave for her benefit. Her light spirit manipulates people to flock to her, leaving her with no supporters when things go awry. She insists that the events she knew before will definitely transpire in the exact same way, never learning that this world is not static and that other people have their own free will. She is so settled in her ways that she refuses to take blame for anything she does and doesn't treat anyone with respect or kindness, only seeing them as either obstacles or pawns for her own use. By the end, it's clear Heronia is the villainess. She is so annoying that even the calm, passive Nert and the sweet, innocent Nice Guy Prince Shaun can't stand her.
• O Maidens in Your Savage Season:
  • Hisashi Saegusa was Niina Sugawara's acting teacher who was responsible for warping her mind. A pedophile, he molested Niina when she first enrolled at his school and psychologically manipulated her for years into believing she was in love with him. When she left, Hisashi continues to conduct mind games on his young female students taking perverse satisfaction in warping their minds to get off on their innocence.
  • Satoshi Sugimoto was a narcissistic boy who decides to date Momoko Sudo, ignorant of him making her feel uncomfortable. When she explodes at him at the culture festival at the school, he tries to force her to apologize for embarrassing him in front of his friends and calls her a crazy slut upon realizing that she was never in love with him.
• Chouko/Oddman 8 from Oddman 11 is an in-universe example. Part of her Oddman quirk is that every living being on Earth hates her. Even the impossibly-nice Setsu finds it hard to be around her at first due to her being an incredibly horny lesbian with No Social Skills, causing her to be rather creepy around her. Out-of-universe she qualifies as The Woobie.
• Princess Mononoke: In a story full of Grey-and-Grey Morality, Anti Villains and Affably Evil Punch Clock Villains, Lord Asano sticks out like a sore thumb for being the only main antagonist with no redeeming qualities shown. Though it may be because the viewers never get to see him in person.
• Puella Magi Madoka Magica:
  • Kyoko and Homura have Dark and Troubled Pasts, the Witches are Tragic Monsters, Kyubey is a Blue-and-Orange Morality Dark Messiah... the duo of train passengers in the original anime's eighth episode, however, are nothing but misogynist Jerkasses who brag about abusing their girlfriends, have no redeeming qualities, and serve no purpose in the plot except to make matters worse for Sayaka, in particularly being the final catalyst for Sayaka becoming a Witch by shattering what little idealistic beliefs remained in her, especially after witnessing her desired boyfriend fall in love with someone else other than her. Not to mention they flat-out ditch the subject when Sayaka confronts them about it.
  • Sasa Yuuki, introduced in Puella Magi Oriko Magica, stands out in the franchise as the most unsympathetic and unlikeable Magical Girl. Unlike Oriko Mikuni (who is either a Well-Intentioned Villain Protagonist or a straight up hero depending on the timeline), Sasa is a sociopathic girl who wishes to force people to serve her. Using her Mind Control powers (which is pretty much her only power) to control both Magical Girls and Witches and use them as her attack dogs, Sasa would try to claim Mitakihara as her territory in order seize control of the most useful witches and Magical Girls and use them to eliminate potential competition. She is also willing to attack and kill normal people for being in the wrong place and the wrong time, as shown when she attempted to murder Madoka despite having nothing to gain from doing so. In stark contrast to Oriko's Visionary Villain status, Sasa is a Smug Snake of the highest degree and is accordingly Hated by All who know of her.
  • If the revelation that Doppel syndrome shows that Evil Is Not a Toy wasn't bad enough in the Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story anime, Kuroe's Doppel Ichizo pretty much brings out the worst out of Doppels. She spends almost all her screentime doing nothing but Mind Rape her master by going all out of her way to persistently harass her for not saving Kuro from becoming a Witch, including taking the form of said Magical Girl. Worse of all, she's doing it to corrupt her into one, and she yanks Kuroe outside the Doppel barrier, ultimately resulting in her Witchification and death and proving how much of a hypocritical jerk she is. Overall, there's just nothing likeable about her.
• You can't hate Yume Hasegawa of Pupa since she was a monster who escaped the laboratory after being experimented on for thirty odd years. You can despise Shiro's adoptive father Genjurou Iamari due to him perversely torturing Shiro as a young boy, implanting in his mind that abuse was the purest form of love.
• Ranking of Kings: In a series where almost every character has some degree of Hidden Depths, the citizens of Gyakuza stand out for being heartless monsters who take advantage of any kindness extended towards them, backstab anyone for their own survival and torture anyone to feel a sense of superiority. In addition to this, they are the ones responsible for Miranjo's Start of Darkness, making them indirectly responsible for all the atrocities the latter has committed, and thus, no sympathy is given when Bosse finds out and slaughters all of them for what they did.
• Rave Master:
  • Slade, the soldier who not only killed off the original members of Demon Card, but had King's wife gunned down and then has his young son Lucia imprisoned for ten years for being related to his father under the pretense he was dead, leading to his insanity, despite Gale telling him not to this, all so he get a promotion. He would later have arrested or killed Gale upon finding out his previous affiliation of Demon Card if not for King escaping and killing him as the first part of his revenge. Despite being a minor character in the long run, his actions lead to not one but two genocidal leaders of a terrorist organization, one bent on making a former friend's life a living hell, and the other into a sociopath determined to make the world suffer for his pain.
  • Igor Kilkira, a Mad Scientist loyal to King with no ethics or redeeming traits is probably one of the most repulsive and unlikeable member of Demon Card to the point that even Haja found him repulsive and had him sealed him away. Upon being freed after Haja’s death he desiccated his corpse and threatened Hilde, claiming that he was going to have fun experimenting on a female body.
  • The leader of Onigami, Ogre, can be considered the worse of the major arc villains, being one of the few to lack any tragic backstory to justify any of his actions. He caused several horrible actions such as having framed Reina's father for a crime he didn't commit, leading to Reina's turn to evil and inadvertently causing her vendetta against Musica's teacher and by proxy Musica in addition to enslaving mermaids to empower an energy cannon to wipe out his enemies by draining their life force. He also is extremely perverted having attempted to rape Elie and Reina, and planning to turn all women in the world into his sex slaves.
  • Shakuma Raregroove is quite possibly the worst human being in the series, being a horrible excuse of a parent/grandparent who allowed his family suffer so that they would grow up hateful and genocidal like him; killing his nemesis the benevolent King Marakia in a sadistically drawn-out manner by a curse, started a war for genocidal sadism alone, and was disappointed that his actions didn’t kill more people. And unlike other villains, he doesn't have the Dark Bring to brainwash his way of thinking, let alone the humanizing reason to justify any of his actions.
• Record of Ragnarok:
  • The Serpent is a petty god who lies about Eve eating the apple after a failed attempt at molesting her, and then attempts to kill her and Adam after Eve's name is cleared. This makes it rather satisfying when Adam kills him with his own attack.
  • Unlike the other gods participating in Ragnarok, who are either sympathetic, Affably Evil, or just too entertaining to hate, Poseidon is a petty, prideful sociopath who lacks any qualities to endear him to the audience. This makes it all the more satisfying when he ends up as the first god to die in Ragnarok. This would become downplayed later in the story, however, thanks to Hades' backstory revealing that he actually does have some redeeming aspects, namely his admiration for Hades, as well as revealing that he didn't actually kill his brother Adamas like the reader was led to believe, and that his decision to Unperson him was done out of a desire for Adamas to find a new life as Adamantine rather than out of contempt.
  • Mary, Jack the Ripper's mother, becomes this once her true nature is revealed. While Jack has a Freudian Excuse and plenty of likable qualities, Mary is an abusive asshole who only acted nice to her son because she saw him as a meal ticket out of her impoverished life, and physically and verbally attacks him once she learns that he's no longer of use to her. This makes it hard not to cheer for Jack when she ends up as his first ever victim.
• Redo of Healer: Pretty much all of Keyaru's enemies are deliberately made as unlikeable as possible no matter how nice knockers they had and how sexy their bodies looked. They enslave non-humans and humans alike as sex slaves and Human Pets, are depraved rapists and war-mongerers and put Keyaru through all sorts of insane sexual abuse that twisted him into a monster who's willing to rape, enslave, torture and/or kill his former abusers, as well as starting a war against their kingdom for the sake of revenge. It's actually a cathartic moment when Princess Flare, the worst of the bunch, gets raped, enslaved and brainwashed by Keyaru within the first few chapters.
• Rent-A-Girlfriend has one in the form of Mami Nanami, Kazuya's ex-girlfriend. To put it nicely, in-universe and out, nobody likes her. Not only does she come off as a blatant manipulator who toys with people's feelings, such as how she abruptly broke up with Kazuya after just a month and told him to his face that it's because she met someone she likes more, which is later revealed to be a lie, but fans are further put off by how cruelly she treats him, viciously insulting him and deriding him as a pervert in front of Chizuru, which her and Kazuya's friends find very uncomfortable despite their own tendency to rib on him, and even going as far to demand Kazuya apologizes on her behalf when Chizuru defends him and calls her out on it. Fans are also extremely put off for her motives for trying to break Kazuya and Chizuru up, which isn't because she still likes Kazuya and wants to get back with him like most instances of this, but out of spite over the fact that Kazuya apparently found another girlfriend so soon after she dumped him. While a large part of this is intentional, many readers felt the author ended up going a bit too far with her, where instead of being a character that readers/viewers Love to Hate, she became a character that people just want gone from the story entirely. As of the current ongoing arc in the manga, Mami's character resorting to slandering Kazuya as a sexual degenerate and a rapist who attempted to murder her as a way to seed doubts into Chizuru and make her drift away from the main protagonist only adds more salt to the wound.
• Revolutionary Girl Utena: Akio Ohtori convinces his 14-year-old student and housemate, Utena Tenjou, that he's a rich, wise gentleman and the only Reasonable Authority Figure in Ohtori Academy. The truth is that, as "End of the World", he runs the Rose Duels that passes his sister, Anthy Himemiya, around as the docile Rose Bride to the victors, abusive or otherwise. He claims to be the only one who can love Anthy and save her from taking the Swords of Hate in his place as a witch, but he has no qualms about raping her during their weekly tryst, letting the Swords stab her, throwing her as a meat shield against Utena, or ordering her to stab Utena in the back literally. He only sees his fiancée, Kanae, as a means to stay in power as the acting chairman, sleeping with her mother and implicitly disposing of her in secret. He seduces the blissfully unaware Utena, with their age differences making her consent for their sex questionable at best. When confronted, he offers Utena a chance to become his princess and leave Anthy in distress, saying that she shouldn't fight because "dresses don't go with swords". He refuses to take responsibility for his actions, going as far as to tell Utena that she has compromised her morals by sleeping with an engaged man and that Anthy enjoys being a witch.
• The Rising of the Shield Hero:
  • Princess Malty Melromarc/Myne Sophia is the Big Bad. She starts the series by betraying Naofumi by making a False Rape Accusation, then ruins the lives of anyone she comes in contact with, from betraying her own allies when she sees no more use for them or conspiring to kill her younger sister Melty because she gave her a mild criticism about who's the heir. Any attempt to correct her behavior results in her committing a bigger atrocity. And Malty doesn't have some sort of Freudian Excuse for this; she just wants to be a jerk for its own sake. Even after her mother exposes Malty's crimes and strips her of her royal title, she pursues Naofumi, trying to make his life worse once again. Despite her tragic demise, Malty is still remembered as a wicked tyrant. Though it is revealed in the webnovel that Malty is an Artificial Human reality-warped into existence by the truly despicable Medea Pideth Machina who regularly destroys worlds for her amusement, and plots to destroy the entire universe, this is not the case in every other media, cementing her position as a sociopathic and irredeemably evil monster.
  • Motoyasu is depicted as the most despicable of the Four Heroes. As flawed as they are, Ren and Itsuki are still capable of skepticism and doubt, putting them at odds with Motoyasu. Ren and Itsuki even stand up for Naofumi when they realize he's been wronged, despite that Ren and Itsuki don't really like Naofumi. Motoyasu, by contrast, believes his own personal narrative that he's the most powerful and virtuous of the Four Heroes, while Naofumi is "the Devil of the Shield" whose every action is pure evil. He's so egotistical that he can never admit when he's wrong, no matter how much it flies in the face of the facts at hand or even common sense. Despite his own unwarranted arrogance, Motoyasu is also the easiest of the Heroes to manipulate, with Malty in his party specifically because she can constantly feed him whatever lies she needs to get him to do whatever she wants. Motoyasu also has a very creepy obsession with Filo, despite her being a child even by the standards of her species.
  • Raphtalia's original owner (named Idol Rabier by the anime, though he goes unnamed in the light novel), embodies the cruelty of the slavery and bigotry that the demi-humans face. Rabier starts off by raiding a village, which just recently got through the first Wave of Catastrophe. The demi-humans thought that it was Melromarc soldiers arriving to aid what few survivors remained after the horrible Wave. And were they very wrong about that◊, with Rabier's soldiers killing the adults and kidnapping the children. Rabier tortures his child slaves, some to death, and aims to kill Naofumi just to get fame. Attempting to destroy everyone in his path, Rabier eventually unleashes a monster to kill Naofumi, completely uncaring if it destroys the town. Cowardly and cruel, Idol Rabier is one of the few people that even the saintly Raphtalia only feels pure rage towards.
  • Takt Arusahorun Faubley, the Arc Villain of the "War of the Heroes" arc in the web novel, is a chosen wannabe hero who deconstructs the archetype by being an unlikable Fake Ultimate Hero. Takt has caused the deaths of countless innocents as well as the people who are actually defending the world from the Waves, all the for sake of satisfying his image as a hero, believing everything Princess Malty tells him. Despite his claims of being a powerful and virtuous hero, it's clear to everyone that Takt is just a moronic and boastful fake in both moral character and strength. His one redeeming virtue, his care for his followers, is tainted by his utter incompetence at protecting them and the Moral Myopia he exhibits whenever they die. He ultimately gets utterly defeated by Naofumi when his incompetence betrays him, and meets the same painful end as Malty. The web novel also reveals that he was Medea's Chosen One across many lifetimes because he was a dumbass and her lapdog.
  • The King of Faubley is a cruel and misogynistic monarch who rapes and tortures his brides to death and uses his control of the powerful kingdom of Faubley to get away with it, threatening war on any nation who dares to defy him. Having done this to 9,999 brides already, he makes the aforementioned Princess Malty the ten-thousandth and last of his brides. He even sends a recording of Malty's death to Naofumi, who is utterly horrified even despite his hatred of Malty. When he finally dies at the hands of Takt, no one mourns his loss.
• Rosario + Vampire:
  • Gyokuro Shuzen is one of the heads of the anti-human terrorist organization Fairy Tale alongside the Masked King, but is far more vile. Holding a grudge against Akasha Bloodriver for stealing her husband Issa's attention away from her, Gyokuro seeks to start a war between humans and monsters solely for the sake of spiting Akasha's dream of co-existence between monsters and humankind. Along the way, she conditions her eldest daughter Kahlua into a mindless killing machine, attempts to have her youngest daughter Kokoa killed by her own sister, and takes every opportunity to physically and psychologically torment Akasha's daughter Moka. Finally, she fuses with Alucard and attempts to destroy the whole world. Lacking the sympathetic backstories of Hokuto Kaneshiro and the Masked King, Gyokuro is a monster both literally and figuratively.
  • The head of the Public Safety Commission Kuyo also qualify. He is a monster in every sense of the word who wants to kill humans and monsters for any petty reason he can think of. That was before we learn he was an undercover terrorist.
• Rurouni Kenshin: Industrialist Kanryu Takeda is a Drug Lord responsible for the mass production of opium, which he accomplishes by forcing Megumi Takani, an innocent doctor, to making them after killing her mentor. What pushes him into being a loathsome person is a combination of his cowardice in a series where all the major antagonists are badass blood knights, a Smug Snake who sees himself much more majestic than he actually is, and a Bad Boss who doesn't truly give a shit about his own men beyond being pawns, as evident when he gets out a gattling gun to kill his bodyguards when they finally turn against him. It's quite satisfying as even though Kenshin still doesn't break his vow to ever kill, he doesn't give the dirtbag a chance to redeem himself and instead disfigures him with one swipe of his sakabotou.
• Sazanka: Keita, Tatsuki's boyfriend, is cruel, selfish, manipulative, and both verbally and physically abusive towards his girlfriend. His very first scene is berating her for making mistakes at work and belittling her, as he claims any mistakes she makes as a part-timer will reflect badly on him, a full-timer, even though Tatsuki isn't shown making mistakes at work on page. When she tells him she has Asperger Syndrome, he at first seems accepting...until he mentions wanting to cure her. After that, he becomes a Domestic Abuser and beats Tatsuki over asinine things, such as talking to a friend on the phone, leaving her bloody and covered in bruises. When she breaks up with him, he does so on the condition that she quit her job to prevent any potential awkwardness. Even one of Tatsuki's friends, Aoi, refers to him as a piece of shit.
• School Days: Makoto Itou's anime incarnation, unlike his other incarnations, is a Deconstructed Character Archetype of the Harem Genre lead who is deliberately made to be an unlikable Villain Protagonist. Though appearing to be a nice enough guy who's just looking for the love of Kotonoha Katsura, it is gradually made clear that he is really The Sociopath looking only to satisfy his Extreme Libido. To that end, he strings along all the girls in his harem, shamelessly cheats on whoever he is dating at the time, and displays zero regard for any of the girls' feelings. This culminates in him cruelty dumping Sekai Saionji, whom he flat-out impregnated, by kissing Kotonoha right in front of her, an action that causes her to snap and kill him afterwards.
• School-Live!: While the zombies are disturbing and creepy monsters that have killed countless amounts of people, they are also compleatly mindless and have a tragic element to them nonetheless, so you can't really hate them. The same cannot be said for most of the Melee Fight Crew, with the exception of Shinou Uhara. The group are a bunch of ruthless murderers who will do anything to survive, even if that means killing several of their own people by locking them outside with the zombies. They're also incredably hostile to outsiders and are implied to have murdered people just because they might be infected. Takahito and Ayaka are especially horrible. Takahito is the leader of the MFC and the one who plans out and decides their atrocities, and while he certainly acts like he has the team's best interests at heart, he ultimately only cares about himself and on top of everything else he's also a massive Hypocrite, as he tries to save himself when he's infected by first hiding his infection and then letting a massive swarm of zombies inside to kill everyone inside, including his own allies. Ayaka is a complete sociopath who views the zombie outbreak as a good thing and secretly hates everyone around her for not enjoying the death and chaos caused by the zombies, and she is very fond of sadistically taunting and murdering whoever she can. And Takashige is a complete brute of a thug who physically abused Hikako for not being able or willing to kill a zombie and also tried to murder Kurumi, a teenage girl, just because he found out that she's infected, despite her posing no threat to him. With this in mind, it is very satisfying to see Takahito slowly dying horribly due to the Airborne Virus and being unable to save himself while also going through a brutal Humiliation Conga that ends with him being brutally murdered by Ayaka, and Ayaka herself being stuck in the middle of the street with several zombies ganging up on her.
• Senran Kagura: Most of the evil shinobi are Anti Villains at worst, and the yōma are mindless beasts who are also fully capable of love and kindness, but these two evil shinobi are truly evil:
  • Dōgen is the cruel man who runs Hebijo Academy. Throughout the series, he manipulates the Hebijo girls, both old and new, into serving him. He cares nothing for them, however, and is willing to use their deaths to serve his plans. Whether it be sacrificing girls to Orochi (game)/the Yin and Yang scrolls (anime and manga), pitting several shinobi schools against each other, or summoning an army of yōma to destroy Japan, Dōgen completely lacks the sympathetic qualities of the other evil shinobi and antagonists, instead being defined by his malice and desire to Take Over the World.
  • Komichi was Homura's seemingly kind mentor and crush who is responsible for her turn to evil. After gaining Homura's trust over a long period of time, he got her to confess to being a good shinobi heir, then reveals that he was an evil shinobi sent to kill her family. When Homura asks him why he befriended her instead of simply torturing her for the information, he explained that he loved to see the looks on people's faces after being betrayed, before trying to kill Homura herself and ultimately getting her rejected by the good shinobi after she fought back, driving her directly into the arms of the aforementioned Dōgen.
• Sensitive Boy: The trainee teacher takes advantage of Kaede's kindness and rapes him not only traumatizing the poor kid, but in doing so, she indirectly sets the events of the series into motion being the reason Kaede hates being touched as well as him enrolling into an all-boys school. She becomes worse when she reappears in chapter 33: not only does she try to kill Kaede once she sees him again, but she had the audacity to blame Kaede for ruining her life and ending her chances of becoming a teacher even though it was her own fault.
• Chazawa of Shirobako spends basically every moment of his appearances in season 2 making it more difficult for the main characters to produce the anime version of Third Aerial Girls' Squad, and it's eventually revealed that this is fully intentional on his part. Much of the second season is in fact spent trying to overcome his interference, and MusuAni very quickly cottons on, complaining about him and mocking him whenever he comes up. Fans reacted much the same towards him, and both In-Universe and out his Laser-Guided Karma payback in episode 23 was met with joy. Compare Tarou and Hiraoka, both of whom ended up holding MusAni due to incompetence and/or laziness, but ended up showing sympathetic/redeeming qualities in the end.
• A Silent Voice: Miki Kawai mainly serves this purpose in the manga, supplanting Naoka Ueno following Ueno's Heel–Face Turn. However, Ueno is a more blatant case in the film adaptation. In the manga, Ueno at least admits to being a horrible bully back in elementary school and expresses self-loathing about herself, while Kawai tries to gaslight Shoya into believing that he was the only one to bully Shoko and that she took no part in it, and is generally defined by her Never My Fault narcissism. In the film, Kawai isn't shown being mean to Shoko, while Ueno is shown being mean, even violent and unapologetic, although she still ends up making a begrudging Heel–Face Turn at the end for Shoya's sake.
• Soul Eater: Medusa is a relentlessly cruel Manipulative Bastard who treats her own child like a test subject and initiates the plot with her wicked schemes. Whether or not she's the Big Bad of the series is a matter of debate, but she's definitely The Heavy and continues to play a large role throughout.
• Sound of the Sky: Colonel Hopkins embodies the evils of war. Believing that War Is Glorious and desiring to reignite war with Rome in contrast to the anti-war heroines, he had previously manipulated Noel Kannagi into killing three cities full of people with a plague. In the present, as part of his plan kill the Roman soldier A'isha Aldola, he takes over the 1121st platoon and mocks the girls as he boots them out. Later, he takes the entire town hostage and later outright tries to murder the girls in frustration. Showing a disturbing willingness to manipulate and kill innocent girls to pursue his ambition, Colonel Hopkins is a sociopath willing to drag two nations back into war just to satisfy his craving for bloodshed.
• Speed Grapher: Shinzen Tennouzu and Chouji Suitengu are both portrayed sympathetically despite their actions, but these characters are not:
  • Mikunozuchi is a Depraved Dentist Euphoric who takes pleasure in making his operations as torturous as possible, having operated in heroine Kagura in the past. He also keeps the teeth as trophies, polishing them afterwards.
  • Ran Yurigaoka is a Tattooed Crook Euphoric who can make his tattooes come to life, and uses them to turn women into People Puppets, paralyzing and killing them for his pleasure.
  • Seiji Ochiai is the leader of the White Eagles opposed to the Roppongi Club, and seems to be on the side of the heroes, but reveals himself to be The Mole. Gathering his subordinates in a theater and then killing them in one shot with his Euphoric powers, he then tries to kill Saiga, taunting him the whole time.
  • Chief Ekoda seems like Hibari Ginza's harmless boss, but is actually a maniac with a fetish for severing women's legs. He captures Ginza and decides to make her his next victim, the resulting struggle driving her to a Heel Realization. Despite not being a Euphoric, he is just as loathsome as the worst Euphorics are.
  • Prime Minister Katsuji Kamiya is the Greater-Scope Villain who is responsible for Japan's corruption and Suitengu's turn to evil. Having driven Suitengu's parents to suicide over debt, he mocks a child Suitengu before selling him off as a Child Soldier and his sister as a Sex Slave. Upon becoming a Euphoric, he gained the power to devour anything, and schemes to steal control of the Roppongi Club from Suitengu, trying to devour Kagura for this purpose before being killed by Suitengu.
• Spy X Family
  • Headmaster Swan. Unlike the other headmasters of Eden College who were kind men (albeit with impossibly high standards), Swan was a Fat Bastard and Sabotutor who would condescend and harass potential applicants out of jealousy while using his influential father's status to do whatever he wants. It takes all of Loid and Yor's willpower to not just deck the guy after he makes Anya cry, but thankfully his coworker beats them to it.
  • Keith Kepler, an Ostanian college student and terrorist, is one of the more monstrous minor antagonists. He plans on using dogs strapped with bombs to assassinate a Westalian foreign minister in order to start a war, and even abuses the dogs he plans on using as suicide bombers. Upon realizing that Anya has uncovered his plans, Keith plans on murdering her to ensure her silence, something that shocks his comrades. Keith also shows no care for his fellow Ostanians, as he sets an explosive booby trap on a door to kill Twilight, and remarks that any Ostanians who die as collateral damage should be proud to die for their country. Keith stands out as a truly loathsome individual who cares nothing for the people he hurts to achieve his goal, or that his goal will result in even more suffering and death for both Ostania and Westalis.
• Strider Hiryu: Vice Director Matic manages to be a bit detestable before the reveal he was evil, it's implied he had a hand in the brainwashing of Hiryu's late sister Mariya, which got ten Strider trainees killed, forcing Hiryu to kill her himself, and also, while bad enough that he ordered Hiryu to kill his friend Cain who got captured by enemy forces, it's also implied he was the reason Cain was captured and brainwashed in the first place, all so that Hiryu can kill Faysus Clay as part of his plot to take over the ZAIN Project. In the manga, he also planned on using Hiryu and Cain as scapegoats in the attempted assassination of Kuramoto.
• A Timid Woman Longing For Her Delivery Girl: The two coworkers responsible for driving Takase to quit her job are completely despicable and have no redeeming qualities.
  • Kazama makes remarks toward Takase that count as blatant sexual harassment. Later, when the two are in private, he grabs her by the wrist and fondles her. His firing is well-deserved, but sadly brings little in the way of catharsis to his victim, instead making her a pariah in the office.
  • Aida readily badmouths Takase behind her back, expressing that she wished Takase had left the company, rather than the man who sexually harassed her. When they meet up again, Aida appears outwardly friendly, but makes thinly veiled insults against Takase, reopening her old emotional wounds. Rinko then intervenes and extracts Takase from the conversation, having concluded based on her Gut Feeling that Aida is a bad person.
• Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs: The Earl's daughter is an utterly unsympathetic bully who not only causes trouble for Oliva, but actively goes out of her way to break her spirit, simply because she can. Nobody complained when she and her entire house wind up losing everything partly because of her downright excessive nastiness towards "a mere commoner".
• Umareru Kachi no Nakatta Jibun ga Anna no Tame ni Dekiru Ikutsuka no Koto: Kazuya Mukai, despite being the protagonist, is a completely unlikeable loser and Serial Rapist. Initially a pitiful mangaka wannabe that fails at improving his life even after returning to the past, he embraces his evil after accidentally killing his bully, Shinya. Determined to rape his crush, Anna, Kazuya proceeds to torment his supposed friends in the pursuit of doing so, completely uncaring of the deaths that result, raping and later killing his accomplice, and eventually trying to kill his Kid from the Future while telling her how worthless he considers her to be- something his adult self had done in the past. Repeatedly being humiliated and demonstrating a total lack of charisma, Kazuya is a pathetic man who cares only for satisfying his lust.
• The Unforgiving Flowers Blossom in the Dead of Night: Yoshihito Kanamori, the antagonist of "Mesomeso-san", is an Evil Teacher and child molester hiding under the veneer of being a kindhearted teacher. Kanamori targets Marie Moriya, raping and tormenting her throughout the story and eventually killing her. When he is given a horrible fate by Higanbana, no sympathy is accorded. Despite being human, Kanamori proved to be worse than any of the youkai.
• Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid: Charlotte Scharsen seems to have no other purpose in the series than to display how Teens Are Monsters. She's unbelievably arrogant, vicious, vindictive, vain, and worst of all, petty. There is not a single appearance where she's not either contemplating to Kick the Dog, or actually doing so. She surrounds herself with a Paid Harem, and she always seeks to make an example out of anyone who so much as suggests violating even the smallest of Mermaid's rules, whether the offender is aware of it or not. Those who object just simply haven't been beaten down hard enough. From as early as episode 2, it's clear that there is no despicable act she's willing to overlook in this endeavor. By contrast, the “actual” Big Bad Momoka Sagara is a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds due to her treatment by “The Organization”, and even gives a Pay Evil unto Evil moment to Charlotte.
• Val × Love: Garm is a violent, condescending bastard who thinks the human world is his playground and the Valkyries are his meal.He also thinks Takuma is a sad excuse of man because he isn't in a sexually active relationship with the girls in spite of having the opportunity, and frequently objectifies the Saotome sisters in his inner monologues. In short, he exists mostly so the audience can feel good about the main cast beating an intelligent character instead of random monsters for a change.
• Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun: Iruma's parents never showed him any kindness in his life. They never let him go to school, forced him into dangerous jobs at a young age (such as using him as life bait for fish or as a human shield against animals) , and are responsible for his Extreme Doormat personality. Finally, they sold him to a demon, who turned out to be a better parental figure then them. While Iruma is an All-Loving Hero who even can emphasize with murderous demons, even he cannot forgive his parents for what they have done.
• Yuri is My Job! has a cast of characters that is highly flawed, but the following are utterly despicable.
  • The protagonist Hime Shiraki's elementary school friends are shown as a particularly shallow group who judge others by their outward appearances and ostracize the socially awkward Mitsuki Yano. When Hime pairs up with Mitsuki to play the piano at the recital, they spread rumors about Mitsuki bullying Hime. This leads to Hime dropping out to protect Mitsuki from being labeled as a bully, but since Hime never told Mitsuki, Mitsuki becomes angry and denounces Hime as a liar in front of her friends, causing Hime to become a pariah. Hime cares less about her "friends" abandoning her than she does about Mitsuki's betrayal, and considers their friendship fake.
  • Yoko Gotou (assumed name Goeido) was the first employee to join the Liebe Girls' Academy salon after founding members Mai Koshiba, Sumika Chibana and Nene Nishidera. After realizing that Nene had unrequited feelings for Sumika, Yoko manipulated her into falling in love with her, then casually broke up with her without a second thought. Years later, when Nene sought out Yoko for closure, Yoko proceeded to manipulate Yoko and accuse her of using her as a replacement for Sumika, leaving Nene in tears. Yoko later manipulates Kanoko into entering a fake relationship with Sumika, and lures Kanoko to a love hotel before sexually assaulting her. Yoko's callous actions earned her the enmity of her former coworkers, especially Sumika, and while Mai tolerates Yoko as a paying customer, she makes it clear Yoko is no longer welcome in Liebe.
