Most Evil Anime Characters

Frieza will do anything, even betray his own teammates or allies, to get what he wants. In one of the episodes in dragon ball super, leading up to the tournament of arc, frieza was communicating with a god of destruction from another universe, and the said god of destruction wanted him to join his universe, but in the cost of everyone's life in friezas universe. When asked if frieza has any loved who he would like to save by bringing them to universe 9, frieza said he has no loved ones whatsoever and he does not even mind his own universe getting obliterated. This shows that frieza will go to any extent, if the end result favors him. In lay mans terms, he is a psychopath.

If you have seen Dragon Ball Super, you will know that this is the definition of pure evil. He is ruthless and will NEVER change his ways.

This guy is basically Hitler of space, x100 worse than hitler.

He coldly slaughtered billions. Enough said.

Is it wrong that I wanted him to win? That I agree the only way to rid the world of evil is to kill everyone who is. And if one person absorbs all of the evil for the better of humanity, than fine. Most of the people he killed deserved it anyway. He had good ideals and he was coming from the right place. To me, it's the "kill all that get in my way" attitude that makes him evil to me. But at the same time, wouldn't you have to kill all in your way? I mean, what's a few lives got to do against a bright future for humanity? Change can't come without sacrifice. Sorry, I'm a dark thinker. I'll be thinking about this for a while.
I love how he was the stereotypical "perfect boy" before he found the death note. If only he hadn't picked the death note of the ground then his entire fate would have been different. He had strong, great ideals. He just had been given an opportunity that he shouldn't have taken, if he wanted to be considered a hero. It just proves that one choice can change ...more

At the begining I saw him as a hero, someone who punishes criminals and evil. But while the series went on we got to see the true you, a liar who manipulates people and kills those who gets in his way. He doesn´t want to make the world a better place, he wants wants power and consider himself as "God of the new world".

How can he in number1 first of all in the starting of the death note his intentions are good over the time power of death note corrupted him so you can't say certain expressions for him.I am agree that in the final of death note he become villain but from beginnig to ending he never turned out on him intentions crime rate decreased %70 and wars are completely stoped also I can give examples more evil people than him he didn't deserve this spot.So big possibilty given votes for him from toxic L fans

He's evil, but not the most evil. He was blinded by the overwhelming power suddenly put in his hands and was misled.

It was hard choosing between him and Envy, but I had to go with Shou Tucker. I mean, *SPOILER ALERT*

Envy killed Maes Hughes, my favorite character besides Edward, Alphonse, and Winry, but Shou combined his daughter and dog just for an entrance exam! Envy actually had reasons for doing what he did, he had places he needed to go. And Envy was under the influence of Father, so it wasn't like he had too much of a choice, he was born to think that way and I think Envy was an amazing protagonist who added depth and meaning to the story. Now, If I had automatically seen Kimblee on here he would've probably gotten my vote but for now I'm voting Tucker.

There are many villains in anime commiting vile and despicable crimes, but this guy just took it to a whole new level of his own...

Shou Tucker, he should be called Shou Sucker.

Worse than hitler

Kurome, is number one on this list in my book. She's nothing but a freak who is a twisted psycho. Drugged or not.

What's so great about this excuse of a human being? Oh wait, she's no human, she's a demon in human's skin!

No matter what people says about her, Kurome is evil enough to despised her!

I guess you might say, a black heart, like Kurome's, deserves to be impaled!

The fact about him is that he's not some "fantasy" villain with great powers that can destroy worlds. Evil is about the things you do, about what you are, not about badass powers. Johan is a thinker. What he does, he does it with thorough thinking before. He has goals and a profound background that explains why he's like that and why he does such frightful things. He manipulated people to commit suicide, he killed people himself, he ordered criminals by understanding them. He's not some villain that destroy worlds. He is the villain that could be your neighbour, smiling at you each day while thinking if he should kill you or not in his schemes. You could be his friend, playing in his hand, totally unaware of his true nature before it's too late.

As a child he murdered those who took care of him and his sister and instigated a massacre at the orphanage he was at. As an adult he convinced many people, including children, to commit suicide and killed many more.

he is truly evil he killed so many of his foster parents in such young age and that 511 kinderhyme incident was so shocking. he made people massacre each other at such a young age and he protected his sister too.I want to be like him since the day I saw monster. although I want to be like many others including light yagami but that's impractical but in monster there johan had no supernatural powers unlike light or frieza still he manages to be on 6th position in this list. he was such a magical influencer he managed to make people kill themselves just by words. and his personality his looks his voice everything about him is so amazing I just want to be like him.

He convinced children to commit suicide and murder each other as a child and adult.

Envy killed a child that started a war the extinguished a whole race of people, and kept their souls in his natural form in constant torment...

Yea, Shou Tucker turned his daughter into a Chimera... But, to look at a smiling child and put a cap between their eyes is FAR WORST! Envy knew the outcome when Tucker had no clue the results...

Not many children killers on the list, and Envy not only tossed one to the bone yard, he destroyed the city (more children) and the live inside him in constant pain!

No other villain TORTURES children. Envy laughs about it when they cry to get out of his body!

He is truly psychotic. He experiments on Babies, Kids and All other Human beings. He does it to become immortal and to have ultimate power. Even after Death he plans for coming back because he is selfish. He killed his own Sensei. He tried to destroy his own birth village. He's a legit snake, like literally. THERE is not a single person in the world he wouldn't kill for his benefits. He is a monster, a psychotic killing machine.

He kills children for the sake of immortality. I've made my point haven't I?

He's a rat. He made a promise to Nami that he would set her and coco village free if she paid him the money he wanted, and used the navy to break his promise. That's about as evil as they get.

But Sasuke is not evil! He's just a boy too consumed in revenge and hatred due to his dark past. Deep down he's a good person.

Sasuke is not evil

He is just a fool

Okay this is an obvious decision. Father created 7 (Not including GreedLing) Homunculi by killing thousands, and even MILLIONS of people! Not to mention he wiped out the ENTIRE city of Xerxes in one night! If you thought Hohenhiem was evil, think again.

Him and Kakuzu feel like the only Akatsuki that are truly evil. He was literally laughing at Asuma's death.

Once the proud leader of the Band of the Hawk. Griffith is a narcissistic, charismatic and ambitious villain. He is a very compelling villain mainly because he starts out as a good guy and than does something truly horrific that changes Berserk completely in a good way. He is the perfect example of a tragic fallen angel villain. One of the best manga/anime villains of all time.

Leveled dex. Like, sure, murdering your friends and raping your bff is bad and all, but both of those were done out of perceived necessity in his insane mind. Leveling dex is unforgivable.

This one, is personal. During the Blackswordsman arc is where I first saw Griffith. Then during the Golden Age arc is where I loved and despised him, he should be number 1

Why the hell is he so low ranked? Do people seriously find Light Yagami more evil then him?

Some villains want to kill out of revenge
Some want to Rule the world
Some want to prove a point

The Major is none of these things. He has no end goal. Everything he's done is because he loves every aspect of War. He also NEVER STOPS SMILING. Watching London burn to the ground, he's happy. Watching his own allies die painfully, he's happy.

If you want to know why he's truly the most evil villain in Anime, listen to his "I love war" speech.

BITCH...

This girl. This girl.

Oh wait.., she's not a girl, she's some life fiber alien.

Anyways, THIS character is one of the most insanely psycho characters I've ever seen in any show ever.

She's literally unforgettable... just so in your face with her cutesy murderer getup. To be honest, I have a love/hate relationship, because while she's so damn messed up and annoying... I've never seen a more impactful villain, yanno...someone who makes you so passionately hate her every time she comes on screen... damn she's scary. And unkillable too. KLK has the best cast of characters I've ever seen.

Second worst psycho!

It's Doflamingo, need I say more?

This guy is the real the evil that's so gorgeous and very genius and successed his own decided by himself without fear. He's never given up on his decided and can step over everyone without
hesitated even his step sister or his own parent.

Pretty much the Darth Vader of the anime universe.
Started off as the main protagonist, but was slowly corrupted and
Became one of the main villains.

I was good in the first bit, but when he just shrugged off Shirley's death that kinda secured his place as an ass hat.
