History FauxAffablyEvil / AnimeAndManga

** Majin Buu zigzags this trope. Fat Buu is genuinely affable (because he simply [[AmbiguousInnocence lacks the wisdom to tell right from wrong]]), Evil Buu is [[TheStoic emotionless]], and Kid Buu is {{feral|Villain}}. Super Buu, on the other hand, can be talkative and vaguely reasoned with, even conversing with his opponents for fun. This trait is emphasized when he absorbs Piccolo and Gotenks, after which he adopts a calm and eloquent manner of speech as he's delivering a merciless beatdown to Gohan. When Vegito shows up and starts kicking his ass, he drops the act and reverts to the PsychopathicManchild he always was, throwing temper tantrums and later celebrating like a little kid when he thinks he's won.

** Caesar Clown is even worse, [[spoiler:He managed to successfully manipulate various prisoners and Brownbeard's Crew into becoming his underlings by coming off as a great scientific hero to them "curing" them of their afflictions (with Help from Trafalgar Law) when in fact He's the one who poisoned them.]] [[spoiler:The guy also came off as a kind caring "Master" to many children who ended up on Punk Hazard for his treatment of their diseases, when in reality he's been lying to their faces, they were kidnapped to be his Guinea Pigs, he's been drugging them for well over a year with his FantasticDrug candy turning them into giants, worst part is that many of them might not live for 5 more years because of all the drugs they've ingested]] Caesar has done all of this without so much as breaking his polite facade even once around them, he's basically a mix of Frieza and The Joker. Funny enough he's played by Creator/RyuseiNakao.

** Blackbeard is this and a bit genuinely AffablyEvil. He might at first come off as a friendly sort of guy with a big smile on his face, but could quickly turn to killing and mocking you, all while wearing the same exact smile. Though for all his unpleasantness he does seem to genuinely care about his crew, [[spoiler:despite gaming all of his newer members by making them fight to the death and taking the survivors. Granted they were among the most evil and unrepentant criminals in all of Impel Down but still.]] Plus, his friendly demeanor whenever it shows for the most part IS genuine, which makes him all the more evil.

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

* In the [[Manga/TheLegendOfZeldaAkiraHimekawa manga adaptation]] of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames'', Onox will claim 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.

** Glemmy Toto of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ'' is polite and [[BunnyEarsLawyer quirky]] and initially seems to be a LaughablyEvil NobleDemon who is in over his head with [[BigBad Haman Khan]] and her army. He's actually far more evil than Haman could ever hope to be, is the [[CloningBlues reincarnation]] of UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler wannabe [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Gihren Zabi]], and has plans that involve armies of mass-produced [[PsychicPowers psychic]] cloned ChildSoldiers. Some of his lines suggest that, behind the [[TheCharmer charismatic facade]] he is ''[[StepfordSmiler screaming]]'' on the inside.

** Quilge is a sadistic Quincy commander who, in the Japanese version, talks in [[{{Keigo}} polite speech]] when addressing his opponents and talking about the bad things he plans to do.

** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED''
*** [[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), but he's also a [[FinalSolution genocidal]] [[TheSociopath sociopath]] bent on wiping out every Coordinator that exists.
*** Also Rau Le Creuset. While behaving as a empathetic and professional leader for the benefit of ZAFT and the PLANT leadership, he is [[spoiler:playing both sides against one another in an effort to ''[[OmnicidalManiac cause the extinction of the entire human race, Natural and Coordinator.]]'']]

** From ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'', [[TheChessmaster Prime Minister Wong Yunfat]], who presents an air of politeness and refinement even as he schemes, but loses it when things don't go as he planned.
** Glemmy Toto of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ'' is polite and [[BunnyEarsLawyer quirky]] and initially seems to be a LaughablyEvil NobleDemon who is in over his head with [[BigBad Haman Khan]] and her army. He's actually far more evil than Haman could ever hope to be, is the [[CloningBlues reincarnation]] of UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler wannabe [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Gihren Zabi]], and has plans that involve armies of mass-produced [[PsychicPowers psychic]] cloned ChildSoldiers.

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

** Majin Buu zigzags this trope. Fat Buu is genuinely affable (because he simply [[AmbiguousInnocence lacks the wisdom to tell right from wrong]]) and Evil Buu is [[TheStoic emotionless]]. Super Buu, on the other hand, can be talkative and vaguely reasoned with, even conversing with his opponents for fun.

* ''LightNovel/IzureShinwaNoRagnarok'':

*** [[spoiler: Fuhrer King Bradley]] comes off at first as a charming family man and ReasonableAuthorityFigure. [[spoiler:He's actually a ruthless homunculus, Wrath, who ordered the war in Ishval to further Father's plans.]] [[spoiler: [[CompleteMonster He's even worse]] in ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist2003'' where he is revealed to be Pride, where he ordered that war gleefully, and remorselessly [[OffingTheOffspring killed his own son]].]]

* Izaya Orihara of ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' is a [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]], [[{{Jerkass}} arrogant]] prick who nevertheless manages to maintain a facade of politeness with almost everyone, even while discussing how best to screw over the maximum number of people possible for the [[ForTheLulz maximum amount of enjoyment possible]].

* The Caster/master pair in ''LightNovel/FateZero'' usually act like normal people, even while shredding little children to bits with CombatTentacles because they were bored. Caster himself enjoys [[HopeSpot pretending to be nice before horribly murdering someone]] for the extra shock value; his master seems to be just completely desensitized. Oddly enough, they also have the best relationship of all the master/servant pairings, despite the master having no magic. The good relationship is justified in-universe: When a master summons a servant without a catalyst (for example Kiritsugu used Avalon to summon Saber), the grail picks the Heroic Spirit who's personality is most similar to the master's.

* Gauron from ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' has a very quirky, highly amusing personality - while going around rampaging and killing people. Including his employers and co-workers. He has ''no'' redeeming qualities and has almost every vice and evil you can think of (being an AxCrazy, [[PaedoHunt pedophilic]] rapist and [[ILoveTheDead necrophiliac]] that will kill anyone and ''everyone'', [[ForTheEvulz just because]], and [[GreenEyedMonster gets jealous]] of and [[MurderTheHypotenuse tries to kill]] a ''16-year-old girl'' just because she's the girl Sousuke likes). But let's face it - it ''is'' very amusing to watch him mass murder while he [[EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor cracks horrible jokes]] and acts all happy.

* ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'':

* ''LightNovel/UndefeatedBahamutChronicle'':

** BigBad Aizen. Sure, he ''pretends'' to be a charming, laid-back guy, but in reality, he's just being condescending; other people are insignificant insects to him and he doesn't hesitate to tell them this, when he doesn't need them anymore. When he realizes Urahara's smarter than he is [[spoiler:and Ichigo's a ''lot'' stronger than he is]], the Mr. Nice Guy -act goes right out the window.

*** [[spoiler: Fuhrer King Bradley]] comes off at first as a charming family man and ReasonableAuthorityFigure. [[spoiler:He's actually a ruthless homunculus, Wrath, who ordered the war in Ishval to further Father's plans.]] [[spoiler: [[CompleteMonster He's even worse]] in the [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist 2003 Anime]] where he is revealed to be Pride, where he ordered that war gleefully, and remorselessly [[OffingTheOffspring killed his own son]].]]

* Naoka Euno from ''Anime/ASilentVoice''. She will act friendly from time to time, but it does nothing to hide the fact she is a callous, spiteful, egotistical sociopath who despises [[CuteMute Shouko]] for no good reason.

* [[TheDragon Nui Harime]] of ''Anime/KillLaKill'' acts like a particularly saccharine schoolgirl. [[AmbiguouslyGay She compliments and flirts with pretty girls around her]] with uncomfortably-[[TermsOfEndangerment affectionate gestures]]. Yet she is a dangerous CuteAndPsycho bitch and [[CardCarryingVillain revels in it]].

** [[spoiler:Adam Smasher exchanges some banter with David when they first meet and commends him for putting up a fight as David lays dying, even stating he’d make an interesting Construct.]] That doesn’t change the fact that he’s an AxCrazy monster who lives to kill everything he’s pointed at.

** Faraday speaks rather formally and keeps a respectful air around the people he organizes at first. However, he is quick to show how terse and slimy he really is once he's established power over his runners' pockets and [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he isn't afraid to double cross any of the people in his employ at a moment's notice. [[spoiler:Just ask David or Kiwi]].

* ''Anime/CyberpunkEdgerunners]]:
