* [[ArcVillain Vamdemon]]/[[DubNameChange Myotismon]] from ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' certainly fits the mold. Despite being a [[{{Sadist}} sadistic]], [[BadBoss abusive]], and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]] [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]], these end up working in his favor as he made his appearance when the anime was just GrowingTheBeard. His [[EvilIsSexy design]] also helps, as does Creator/RichardEpcar's performance in the dub. He then goes on to have not one, but ''two'' OneWingedAngel forms, the latter of which ends up [[HijackedByGanon hijacking the plot of]] [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 the sequel series]] and continuing right on with his sadistic streak. Nowhere since has there been such a brilliant manipulator within the series.

* Gotou from ''Manga/Parasyte''. Gotou is by far the most dangerous being in the story, being comprised of five different parasites working in near-perfect unison in a single body. His overwhelming strength and creative use of his parasite powers give him some of the most tense and memorable scenes in the series.

** Zenon Zogratis has gotten this after his design was revealed and he was shown to be a ruthless, pragmatic villain, with his introduction having him curb-stomp an entire Diamond Kingdom army. In his next appearance, he [[spoiler:easily defeats Yuno, captures Vangeance, and massacres the Golden Dawn]], cementing him as this for many fans. Later, [[spoiler:his implied-to-be-more-powerful older brother Dante's arrogance gets him defeated at the hands of Yami and Asta...and Zenon ''once again'' shows ruthless pragmatism by teleporting in to rescue Dante and capture Yami when the exhausted heroes were celebrating their win]]. Zenon isn't as much of a BloodKnight like his siblings, he just ''gets the job done''. His popularity amongst fans increased more with the reveal of his [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zenon_at_10025.png 100% devil power form]], regarded as one of the best designs in the series, and his backstory in [[spoiler:Chapter 306, which many fans ''loved'' for portraying him as a more nuanced, tragic villain and dark counterpart to Yuno.]]
** [[spoiler:Lucius Zogratis gets this ''hard'' after TheReveal. He's the true soul of Julius and a total [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] whose ulterior motives as Julius are revealed to have influenced so much of the plot. His entrance has him hijack Julius's body, reveal he was working with Adrammelech to have the heroes kill Lucifero themselves, saving him all the dirty work, and steal Lucifero's heart, and [[TimeMaster subtly controlled time]] throughout the raid to achieve his endgame. When he finally appears, he ages up from Julius's child form with his hair now black, incapacitates Damnatio, shows his gorgeous, detailed Spade grimoire design, and states the "The time has come", cementing him as ''the'' BigBad and villain of the final arc.]]
