Magnificent Bastard / Anime & Manga

aka: Anime

Academics or athletics: the fear and respect Gakuhou Asano commands sees his students bring their A-game for anything.

"It's not a sense of justice. Figuring out difficult cases is my hobby. If you measured good and evil deeds by current laws, I would be responsible for many crimes. The same way you all like to solve mysteries and riddles, or clear video games more quickly. For me too, it's simply prolonging something I enjoy doing. That's why I only take on cases that pique my interests. It's not justice at all, and if it means being able to clear a case, I don't play fair. I'm a dishonest, cheating human being who hates losing."

— L Lawliet, Death Note

Throughout the years, anime and manga writers have created countless memorable characters. Of those here are the most dubious yet intellectually charming.
