Much in the same vein as the Anime Heroes thread, but with our favourite bad guys. Whether you love to hate them, have traits that you respect, or simply think of them as an effective force of nature in the story. Here are a few of my top picks:
DIO
Charismatic, Machiavellian, and flamboyant, who just wouldn’t stop chewing the scenery every time he showed up. It’s hard not to enjoy every scene he’s in.
The God Hand
I like them more as a group than the individual members. They single-handedly changed the course of the entire Berserk story and are the perfect arch-enemies for Guts: Utterly out of his reach, he can only defy them by denying their belief system that fate and destiny are predetermined.
And of course… Freeza.
You can’t get much worse than Space Napol-Hitler.
Honourable mention would go to Piccolo Daimao and his “son,” (the Piccolo we all know and love). One of the most nefarious villains of the 80’s becoming a hero in his own right remains a compelling positive character arc.
Belphemon (sleep mode), he’s one of the villains from Digimon Data Squad, i’ve finally started re-watching it, pretty sure he ends up being a mega a-hole, but he’s so cute when he’s sleeping 😽
Awww, i just notice his alarm clock looks like a Tamagotchi 😻
Digimon Frontier, Duskmon, i won’t give any spoilers as to why he’s one ofmy favorite Digimon villains, i’ll just say he has a great story arc ;)
i tried to upload this with pictures but i guess there were too many so ill have to do them one at a time
my all time favorite is garou, hes the definition of an unstoppable force, he refuses to quit. also i think deep down hes not a bad guy, hes my favorite anime villain of all time.
As far as villains go, Father could be kinda generic. But I enjoyed his role in the story and I had to admire his ambition to break free of all constraints.
Sosuke Aizen deserves an honourable mention, considering how many times he had “I am a total bastard” moments.
Then there’s Father Mozgus from Berserk. The guy was intense, going through extreme emotional mood-swings at the drop of a hat, and represented the best and worst of religion all rolled into one (and I had to respect how utterly fearless he was).
You can’t get much more hardcore than murdering “heretics” with your holy book. (No, really).
