Most Evil Anime Characters

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

He's evil, but not the most evil. He was blinded by the overwhelming power suddenly put in his hands and was misled. - Goku02

He's evil, but a really cool evil that makes you want him to win. Hail Kira.

He's a killer and like he's hot but dangerous...

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

The worst character that shouldn't existed in Akame Ga Kill!

Oh we know that she's not just evil, but also heartless, sick and twisted!

She's so evil! In more ways!

How is he not no. 1?!?!? - Hypercube

Worse than hitler

He is despicable

He NEEDS to be in 1st - OtakuYato

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

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

Promised a woman he wouldn't touch her child after she sacrificed herself to save the kid... turn's the mother into a vampire who in turn, eats her child.

He is a muderous thug, who kills anything from dogs, to innocent people

DIO!

Dio is MOST evil anime character ever.
Wry yourself weaboos, Kira Light <<<<<< Dio Brando

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. - Goku02

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.

Guy is evil incarnate enough said

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.

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.

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

Griffith did everything wrong.

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 un-killable too. KLK has the best cast of characters I’ve ever seen. - Twixx

He beat goku and made him give up and goku never gives up

But Itachi is very kind and caring! He just wants the best for his little brother, and he secretly protected the village while being in Akatsuki. Doesn't deserve to be on this list at all. - Goku02

One thing he makes assume go insane! !

This "man"

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.

This guy is pure evil. He's cruel, demented, and cares nothing for others. Even his own subordinates mean nothing to him. But despite all of that, he is a huge coward when his own life is in any kind of danger. He even begs the Straw Hat crew to protect him from Big Mom, whom he once swindled.

Shes not evil u morons

Sesshomaru is not really evil, he was just misunderstood and he was angry that his father gave his half brother a stronger sword than his, but after realising his father's real intention he turned good and helped his brother reach his full power. - Goku02

Not necessarily evil, just a real badass who's misunderstood and severely dislikes his half-brother

Darker than the blackest void...Shenron's true master...capable of instilling fear in machinery...and knocked Krillin off the lookout with a simple "enjoy the climb back up, bitch! "
(Okay, obviously this is the abridged one. Still, abridged Popo might deserve a place on here.)

Personally I don't find Lucy to be completely evil. She suffered a lot, had a tragic past and was experimented on just because she's a Diclonius. Then she had to witness her first and only friend in the world - a dog - die in front of her eyes, and that certainly drove her insane. Nevertheless, she did kill a lot of people. But I'd say she has a good heart but was misunderstood and misled, similar to Zeref ( Fairy Tail ). - Goku02

Not a villain.
The people, the humans who tortured her, are the REAL villains.
How can a person not end like a psychopath if you torture her for years?

This guy makes his own children fight to the death for the throne! He doesn't care about his children at all! I hate him so much!
