History FauxAffablyEvil / AnimeAndManga

* In the [[Manga/TheLegendOfZeldaAkiraHimekawa manga adaptation]] of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames'', Onox claims he's an OfficerAndAGentleman, even making a show of showing Din deference before he takes her away, but his brutality and callousness as he beats Link within an inch of his life during their first fight when he gets in the way of capturing Din shows it's only skin-deep.

* [[VillainProtagonist Light Yagami]] of ''Manga/DeathNote'' remains consistently polite and well-mannered, [[PassiveAggressiveKombat even during his confrontations with L]]. In reality, however, he has nothing but contempt for those who oppose him including his own family as he legitimately thought of killing his sister but only relented after he remembered that doing that would alert the authorities to the fact that he is ''Kira'' and is very much willing to even manipulate and [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness possibly dispose of]] his own supporters for the sake of his [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans master plan]].

** In the anime, [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Solf J. Kimblee]] has shown many shades of WickedCultured and can be polite, charming, and an all-around charismatic fellow... when he's not making bombs out of women, children, and any other poor saps within arm's length. This is in contrast to his manga counterpart, who was more genuinely AffablyEvil.

-->'''4kids Arlong''': If you can't pay the cash, then you're out with the trash... and feel free to quote me! YEAH!

-->'''Sugou''': You're late, Kirito. I've been out here so long; I might catch cold.

-->'''Morte''': ''(after accepting a duel, during which he plans to kill Kirito)'', Roger that, man. I'm getting so nervous thinking about a duel with ''the'' Kirito. Can we take a photo to commemorate after the fight? Oh, wait, we haven't gotten to the point where screenshot items show up yet. Aww, too bad...

* ''Manga/ASilentVoice'': Naoka Euno in the [[Anime/ASilentVoice anime adaptation]], due to AdaptationalJerkass. She will act friendly from time to time, but that does nothing to hide the fact that she is a callous, narcissistic sociopath who despises [[CuteMute Shouko]] for no good reason.

*** [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon Muruta Azrael]]. His charismatic nature and excitable personality lead to a lot of morbidly funny scenes (and who can forget the infamous 'YATTA!' scene when he gets the data on N-Jammer Cancellers?), but he's also a [[FinalSolution genocidal]] [[TheSociopath sociopath]] bent on wiping out every Coordinator that exists.

** Ribbons Allmark from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'' always wears a facade of civility, but his [[SmugSnake condescension]] and [[AGodAmI God complex]] still shines through.

** Arlong keeps a calm tone even as he slaughters humans out of sheer racist superiority, calmly lying to Nami for 8 years that if she gets enough money he'll let her go, then hires a corrupt marine to steal all the treasure she gathered just as she reached her goal, and calmly telling her to just start over as he just laughs at her! This is especially pronounced in the 4kids dub, when he cheerfully offers Luffy good conditions if he agrees to become a slave, and this line, after he [[{{Bowdlerization}} sends Bellemere to the dungeon]].
