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.

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 a really cool evil that makes you want him to win. Hail Kira.

He's the Hitler of the anime world.

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

Dio should be higher on this list.
Dio killed dog,Jojos father,poor old zeppeli and jonathan and that all in just first nine episodes.

Griffith did everything wrong.

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! !

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

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.
