Favorite Manga/Anime Villains

So, what are your favorite manga and anime villains?

Fear is our ally. The gasoline will be ours. A Honey Badger does not kill you to eat you. It tears off your testicles.

Hidan , Solely for his laugh in the anime. Plus, he's an immortal masochistic zealot with a sailor mouth. What's not to love?

And not in that way, more of this way.

Not a pure villain, but Yukio Oikawa was always a favourite of mine because he's such a tragic character underneath all the possession-induced evil.

Char Aznable and Lordgenome come to mind. And Lelouch, if he counts as a villain.

I guess it is.

Ladd Russo, because only he could blow off the head of a small child  ^*

for absolutely no reason besides For the Evulz and still make you cheer for him and teh crazay he exudes.

Gauron and Gates.

I like that series more for the antagonists than anything, I think.

Fzzr Miller because underscores are broken

Gauron was pretty cool (in a psychotic way), but I didn't really like Gates. He tries too hard to be, well, Gauron.

I guess it is.

Char Aznable. He's got style.

I think anime in general tends to have pretty lacklustre villains actually.

Although I think Orochimaru was both visually interesting and creepy enough to qualify.

Hmmm, who else?

Blackbeard, the anti-bishonen.◊

You are not alone, and you are not strange. You are you, and everyone has damage. Be the better person.

Are those tentacles coming out of his belly?

No, that's Donflamingo, who is wearing a Boa. Blackbeard is just an incredibly huge guy.

Aizen. was that really a question?

The sad, REAL American dichotomy

That's a relief.

Admiral Kizaru. Awesome powers and utterly terrifying.

Amber is pretty cool, if she counts as a villain (it's kinda hard to tell in that show).

I guess it is.

Florence and Melvin. If only for the Ho Yay.

Come on. Florence has much better Ho Yay with regular Marik than with Melvin.

...you're right. I stand corrected.

Melvin is the best villain of them all though.

Knives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=essx61Ek1Yw

Other than him, Sakyo in Yu Yu Hakusho. How many villains have the balls enough to not only put their life on the line but then calmly accept death when they lose? Not many. He seemed to be one of the more realistic depictions of a psychopath. in anime.

Johann Liebert :P.

Johann seconded. Also #13 from 20th Century Boys. Who would've thought that gawky, scrawny kid would turn into a badass, fairly good-looking assassin?

Oh, and King Bradley.

If an offense come out of the truth, better it is that the offense come than that the truth be concealed.

Manga!Bradley or Anime!Bradley? I consider Bradley the only Homunculus who is more interesting in the manga than in the anime.

Currently taking a break from the site. See my user page for more information.

Tamaki's grandma. Because she's the only old woman I've ever wanted to punch in the face.

Manga Bradley.
