Top 10 Anime Villains that Switched Sides and Turned Good

The Top Ten
1 Vegeta (Dragon Ball Z) Vegeta is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama.

He's the second to last person you'd you expect to be a good guy after the saiyan saga also he married bulma

He is for sure the best. (Just woke up and doesn't feel like writing a paragraph)

2 Gajeel Redfox (Fairy Tail) Gajeel Redfox is a fictional character from the anime Fairy Tail. He is the Iron Dragon Slayer. He was an antagonist in his first appearance, fighting main character Natsu Dragneel. He later ended up turning to Fairy Tail's side, and most commonly fights alongside Levy McGarden and Panther-Lily.

Obviously, Mashima took a page out of Toriyama's book when designing Gajeel's character. Yes, he IS the Vegeta of Fairy Tail, but he still is very much his own character. Seeing his progression from a sadist with a lust for blood and destruction to a loyal, protective and caring member of Fairy Tail was excellent to watch. Not to mention his relationship with Levy and Pantherlily.
