He's very small in that one - hard to make out. Mind you, Light is certainly another good candidate for a double-pic of 'sinister mastermind' and 'raving loon'.
What's precedent ever done for us?
That looks more like blurry evil laughter than a breakdown.

Hi
The pic's too blurry, and I agree with shima, it sorta looks like he's laughing. The same scene from the manga might be a better option.
How about this one from Archie's Sonic comics?
Gecko Moria had one hell of a breakdown.
I think we have a winner.

Looks too much like a Slasher Smile.

Yeah, that's a Slasher Smile.

Eheheh...
Going back to the picture about Light, of course he looks like he's laughing. He is.
Now collecting White-Haired Pretty Girls.
Perhaps one of Ratigan ripping his cape while his eye-veins are noticeable?

Get a still and then we'll talk.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.
I'm not sure which still within that scene would work best. Would it be better for to have one of him ripping his cape? Would it be better to have one focused on his eye veins? Would it be better to have an image from when he looks like he's about to rip his cape? Or is an image of him jumping while running through the maze of gears better?
There's as many potential page images as there are frames in that scene. I want to see what others think of which frame would be best.
The Other Troper
Why not a before and after picture, to show there is a breakdown, and not just a mad villain? I could grab two Azula pictures that could work.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

I odn't know if thus will help but here's a sprite sheet of Kristoph Gavin.

Kristoph really does this well.

If we're using one from Ace Attorney, I think von Karma
◊ might be better. He's more obviously a villain, so it's less of a spoiler.
Nostalgia
True, but I like Gavin's better, for some reason.
I could do a "before and after" of Ratigan if someone could specify which "after" frame to use. o.o
The Other Troper
The before frame should show that he is normally cool and collected, with the after showing that he's losing it.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.
I see the Awesomeness.
He doesn't look that villainous though. Is there a way to make him look more lawyery?
Fight smart, not fair.
I would use the 'running through the gears' bit. Maybe one of the close-ups from around 1:20 on that video you showed us.
Also: Deboss, do you mean Gavin or von Karma? Because I could provide some examples of the sprites I was going to use if you like.

Walk tall. Be proud. Go Goomba.
The Other Troper
Now it doesn't have to be Azula, but just her image search shows plenty of good before and after pictures (not to mention a lot of pictures that shows why she is a Fetish Fuel Station Attendant).

Well he's got the Scary Shiny Glasses and Four Eyes No Soul going for him.

How about this image of Light Yagami?
