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

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".

He is just awesome. he is a badass character

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

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.

Real evil

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.

He coldly slaughtered billions. Enough said.

Hot psycho - Ninja

She's so evil! In more ways!

Ruthless and heartless prick of all time in Akame Ga Kill.

Worst girl in Akame Ga Kill deserves death!

Super evil hate him he should be first worse than Hitler

Worse than hitler

He is despicable

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

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

What else can you say about a guy who stuffed a dog into a furnance so it would slowly burn to death all to piss off his adopted brother?

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

DIO!

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'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. - Goku02

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

Are you kidding me?
Dr. Gero is more evil than Griffith? This list is trash.

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

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.

Listen to his "I love War" speech, this guy is pure evil

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.

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.

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

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.

He so Evil nothing about him is good

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

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.

This "man"

Shes not evil u morons

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! !

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.)

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

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!

Aizen is with out a doubt one of the most evil and dangerous villains in all of of anime history and in the 100 year blood war arc they described him as the "personification of evil".

What why isn’t Levi on here
