What is anime's most evil character?

[max|mus]

Let me give you my definition of evil to help guide your suggestions:

1. One how shows no remorse or mercy in what he/she does.

2. One who seemingly is emotionless, and doesn't feel.

3. One who never comes around and becomes "good" or asks for forgiveness.

4. One who derives pleasure in causing severe physical, mental, and/or emotional pain to others.

(Not specific requirements but a guide.)

If you could also name the series and give just a brief description of why you think this character is worthy of being considered one of the most evil too, that would be great.

With that said I'll list just a few characters that come to my mind:

1. Johan of Monster. He has all the exterior components that would make him seem like a warm and carrying gentlemen, however below the skin is no emotion, mercy, and a very cold outlook on human nature. If I could hand out a gold medal for most evil he would be my pick.

2. Vicious of Cowboy Bebop. If for only his ability to not care or show any sort of remorse for the ones he's hurt, and for never trying to give back what he took.

I've seen quite a few anime with mean or bad characters, though very few I would classify as truly evil. I'm sorry if a thread like this has been done, but new series are coming out every day it seems and something new to contribute too doesn't hurt.

Note: I would not consider this the same as the 'Most Diabolical Character' thread that is floating around the front page at the time of this post.

[JuraBasilElden]

Also from Bebop is Vicious, make no mistake.
The Wise Man from Sailor Moon.

[max|mus]

Also from Bebop is Vicious, make no mistake.

I have no idea why I didn't say Vicious. I choose the 'long day at work' excuse. ^_^

[Yukito Kunisaki]

To be honest, I dont watch too much action to list a potentially vile enemy. I will have to think about it and come back to you...I will in due time.

[Black/Light]

Personally, I would add. . . .

Finds pleasure in causing severe physical/ Mental/ emotional pain of others.
(Which, might I add, is why I see rape as one of the most evil acts a person can directly do to another person. . . .somehow pleasing yourself self sexally by completely putting someone throuht each of these 3 hells *Disgust me. . . *)

[Mr. sickVisionz]

I say Gendo from Evangelion:
When his son, who has hasn't seen in years, shows up at his job, the first thing he says is, "our spare has arrived". During a battle, he was alerted that not severing his son's nerve connection could lead to his death, his reaction was, "irrelevant." Also he has no real idea of the "human cost" when doing things. The means are irrelevant, the end is all that matters to him and he has no real issue sending his pilots on suicide missions or putting them needlessly in harm's way to accomplish the mission objective.

I'd also say Dante from FullMetal Alchemist. She really has a massive disconnect from humanity and will kill thousands to get what she wants and feels that humanity owes her for doing so. She loves manipulating people and stringing them along on false hopes.

[Undrave]

One word for ya: Hisoka.

Also Hades from Saint Seiya. Give him what he deserves Athena!!!

[Bernard_Monsha]

Tomino FTMFW


Louser Luft: Completely manipulative cold blooded and unapologetic up to the point she fights with her lover against her husband and kills her own daughter.

Gihren Zabi: Manupulative, genocidal, echos Nazi propaganda about genetic superiority, He ends up killing his own father to take power as well as stop any peace negotiations with the Earth Federation

Bask Om Authoritarian, brutal, violent to the point of being mindlessly so. While Jamitov Hymem pulls the strings Bask is the bullying sheriff who gleefully enforces the Titans will. He causally kills millions of people and has a habit of beating women ;)

Yazub Gable Mercenary, nihilistic, will switch sides so long as it benefits himself, kills for no reason other than his own pleasure or displeasure. When commander Jaimacon pissed him off he set up an enemy attack to kill him and the entire bridge crew of his ship in one of the most delightfully twisted moments in any anime

I could get into some more but I am sure Levon will fill in some gaps.

[Samurai Drifter]

Evil is such a subjective term, so I don't like using it often, though I think one of the ones that most fits the bill is Hamdo, from Now and Then, Here and There. He was a frickin' psycho.

Another one that probably fits most people's definitions of evil is Light Yagami, from Death Note. He certainly is one of the colder and more calculating characters in anime (or manga), even stating at one point that he will kill his own family if nessecary.

I have to say, though, given the Death Note I would probably do the same thing, or a similar variation on the theme of creating a utopian society that I would rule.

[max|mus]

Evil is such a subjective term, though I think one of the ones that most fits the bill is Hamdo, from Now and Then, Here and There. He was a frickin' psycho..

You're right about it being subjective, that's why I put in some guidelines. However, I know it doesn't apply to everything.

And as per my definition I wouldn't consider Hamdo evil. Was he bad? Yes. Was he out of his freaking mind? Oh yeah... but he seemed too cowardly and would always try and weasel his way out of stuff. He came off to me as a wimp with too much power, rather than an evil dictator.

That's just my view though.

[Undrave]

Oda Nobunaga in Samurai Deeper Kyo is one though bastard with one heck of a thirst for revenge... he came back to life TWICE to kill Kyo oO

Plus a third time in the manga that more or less redeems him in my eyes...he's still psycho but not quite as evil.

[Levon]

Someone doesn't have to be emotionless to be evil, just look at King Hamdo from Now and Then, Here and There.


Now Hiltz from Zoids: Chaotic Century fits all 4 you listed.

"How wonderful to see them all together, unwittingly gathered in their own coffin. Lets turn this little party into a funeral. Nobody's getting out of that grave alive!"

Pure evil that guy is. Kills his own men & other minor characters(no main characters but he got close).

He goes around the planet in his Death Stinger blowing up entire cities and the good guys couldn't stop him for the longest time. He was acting like he was god.

"Whats the name of that town down below? Oh well, doesn't matter because it won't need a name anymore."

I'm still not really sure why he killed one of the main characters parents, maybe it was to keep his secrets. Or maybe it was just for fun because he was so evil.

Carozzo Ronah(Iron Mask). To use those "bugs" to hunt humans & kill them was just cruel and hard to watch and he tried to kill his daughter & everything else. He may appear to look like Darth Vader but this man is much more cruel.

He made children slaves to fight for him & kill everyone else. Thats an evil dictator. Just because he was a wuss doesn't give him the excuse that he isn't evil.

[masakiuma]

Im gonna hafta add Dakki from Soul Hunter to the list

[Hisoka]

Johan by default.

3. One who never comes around and becomes "good" or asks for forgiveness.

As well as Freeza. Here's a guy who after all he put everyone through begs for forgiveness just so he can cheap shot you from behind. He blows up planets without thinking twice and strikes fear to everyone all around the galaxy. He treats blowing up plants as a fireworks display. Freeza has emotional problems though and would wear his emotions on his sleeves if he had any. Which ultimately became the death of him. He puts the term "evil" on a completely different level.

[xia]

I'm sorry, but are you freaking serious?

[VidelCoolGirl]

Every Villain In Dbz Except Vegeta.

[max|mus]

I'm sorry, but are you freaking serious?

Unless I'm confusing a name with someone elses yes I am. Evil has a much deeper rooted meaning then someone throwing tantrums and killing people for me, sorry.

[xia]

I guess it is a matter of perspective. I do not consider Vicious all that evil but apparently you do.

[max|mus]

Hey, if you can elaborate more on that feel free. I'm not oppose to adopting another view point you know. ^_^

[Elven_Vampire]

the only one that comes to mind at the moment havent finished reading them all yet or anything but kyo from samuri deeper kyo

or aktio from fruit basket....hes pretty evil o.o

[Rabbit]

I'd have to say Naraku (Inu-Yasha) and Akito Sōma (fruits Basket) just for the way they love to play with peoples emotions for their onw enjoyment

[IsaacBrock]

I'm very suprised that nobody mentioned GANTZ. He fits every bit of criteria that you have made. Not to mention that he is as sarcastic as they come.

[KatayokuのTenshi]

I don’t know about Gendo I mean he doesn’t really fit into any of the categories. 2. One who seemingly is emotionless, and doesn't feel. Every thing he does he does because he lost his wife, although he’s good at hiding it he’s quite an emotional character. 3. One who never comes around and becomes "good" or asks for forgiveness.
End of Evangelion:
Yui:
Afraid of the shapeless, invisible barriers that separate people...
Rei:
You just closed your heart to others.
Gendo:
So, this is my retribution. Forgive me... Shinji.
Keel on the other hand, “Let’s trick the government into massacring Nerv” etc

I think Vicious may get let out under law 156

[Scandiadream]

I am surprised that nobody has mentioned Nakago from Fushigi Yugi yet. Usually he gets the most nominations- with nearly everyone mentioning him.

Doom Phantom/Wiseman from Sailor Moon is another good nominee. At least Nakago gets background.

King Ukon from Basara seems pretty malevolous. He was the one who drove Shuri to do the not so good things he did.

I have not watched much stuff with totally evil characters to be honest.

[Undrave]

Kyo isn't evil!

Im gonna hafta add Dakki from Soul Hunter to the list

In the anime...yes she's pretty darn evil. In the manga? Nah... she get her redemption of sort in the end. She's not the REAL villain in the manga.

[Len]

Satoshi-kun's father from D-N-Angel. Who is conviniently named wrong.. I think he's pretty evil.. though not too important.

[gameoffreak8]

Light from Death Note
Shinobu Sensui from Yu Yu Hakusho

[Old Ape Face]

The guy in my avatar Chinmei. To explain his evilness would be a big spoiler to the SDK manga/anime story.

[Shadow Raven.]

Frieza - DBZ

[EiriYuki's Girl]

Thats a realy tough challenge , usually evil guys hava atleast one person they care about or at the end they become good guys or actully victomes whos been decieved but I will find characters like ur description lol ummmmmm

Feitan from Hunter X Hunter
He doesn't even know what the word (( family )) mean , he kills & tortures people ruthlessly !!! He doesn't hesitate at all when It comes to killing LOL

Caraso from Yu Yu Hakusho ( only when he becomes blonde lol )
he's so cold actully in his real form but I wont consider it coz he had some interest in Kurama LOL but when he becomes blonde he looses it completly LOL starts acting crazy & releases all his sanity LOL

I forgot her name but the girl villen from an OVA called 10 Tokyo warriors
She kills people with her finger nails from their heads !!! It was SO disgusting lol

PS : It took me 15 Min to think of this LOL & I LOVE evil crazy psycho insane characters LOL

One word for ya: Hisoka.

lol not realy , well he is emotionless & a killer & crazy sometimes lol but he has feelings I mean he likes that stupid Machi *cries* also , he helped Gon & the others in some situations , well i know he did this so he can kill them later LOL but considering Machi , thats why I dont agree lol
or aktio from fruit basket....hes pretty evil o.o
Ya but I think he was touched by Toru at the end , so judging from that he's going to be a good guy !!! I mean Toro is like a god , she makes everyone loves her & loves life (( I HATE TORU)) coz she stole all the guys in Fruits Basket *cries*
I am surprised that nobody has mentioned Nakago from Fushigi Yugi yet.
ummm coz he was a victom , thats why he's not 100% evil LOL

Shinobu Sensui from Yu Yu Hakusho
only if you consider the Kazuya part of him lol

[Black/Light]

Thanks, added. :)

Edit: Also if you could list the series the character is in as well. Thanks.

Thanks for adding! Happy to help ^_^
Well, at the time being, I will just list 2 characters that came to mind. . .
Naruto: Orochimaru and Itachi.

OK, so here I go. . . .
Orochimaru started a war simply because he wanted to (as well as too cause the down fall of the leaf). He twist and warps people's minds to get them to be his pons. He runs clans into the ground, forcing them to follow this orders. One can say that this is how he gets his perks, causing pain to others in many different ways.
Itachi. . . . I may not know alot about him but I do know that in his search to find the limate to his "container" he ended up killing his whole clan. It's not only that he killed his whole clan, but that he used his Sharingan's hypnosis to show this all to his baby brother (Sasuke). He has done other things such as this (like making Kakashi feel the pain of being bond and stabed in the rib cage over and over for 3 days in Kakashi's mind and making Sasuke see his parents die by his hands over and over for 24 hours in his mind) but Im not well learned about him or just WHY he does alot of what he does so IDk just how evil he is.

[Holy Knight]

The closest I have seen approaching the criteria for psychopathy is Mori Kouran of Flame of Recca (manga version, don't know about anime version).

Light Yagami is also pretty high on the list for most evil.

Probably all God Hands of Berserk, though it is a fine line in their case.

[Cow]

God this is so easy:

Diva.

(BLOOD+ aka blood the last vampire series).

[Samurai Drifter]

Hey, if you can elaborate more on that feel free. I'm not oppose to adopting another view point you know. ^_^
I have to say, I think the cowardly villain is the more evil one. The braver one is more honorable.

[HSaabedra]

Griffith from Berserk. Anyone who can lead an entire group of people to the God Hand after promising them the world is truly soulless.

[goddessofanime]

Light Yagami just doesn't give a sh*t. Neither does Johan from Monster.

I wouldn't say Gendo completely because he did care for Ayanami.

[Juicelee777]

Light from Death Note



indeed
and THAT my friends is why I root for L
I mean I really felt something break in me when he killed ray penbars wife and you know what that is?


thats damn good writing

now my candidate isnt really "evil" but hes just an onerous summa beetch
and thats our friend orochimaru (from naruto)

its like he just will not die

its like the only bad day he ever had in the series was when he fought the 3rd hokage. and the third needed some extra hands in the afterlife ( terrible pun and joke I know )

but outside of that people just cannot beat this guy for anything its like wtf? die already

[KitsuneMaryohki]

YYH's Karasu is one hell of a *****. Anyone who could dream of hurting Kurama is pretty warped, though...

[Lord Timaeus]

I have to agree with Light on this one; it seems like he's the only anime protagonist who gets more insane with every passing episode. Only an evil genius like Light could pull off a twisted sense of justice.

[Caster13]

Griffith from Berserk. Anyone who can lead an entire group of people to the God Hand after promising them the world is truly soulless.

and then Guts lives up to the name of the series and turns that hell back onto all of the demons. and he rapes Caska in front of Guts.....thats evil. the manga makes it all more graphic......much more than needed! except when it comes to the gore.

but as for most evil.....i dont know about that. i know that the original version of Yugioh had some really sick and evil sh*t. not watching it, but thats not just a card game series by a looooong shot. how 4kids pulled that edited version out of their a$$ is a mystery. somebody say what is in the original version.....

[gameoffreak8]

only if you consider the Kazuya part of him lol

Ah! I completly forget about Kazuya! He is most cruel and harsh villain in Yu Yu Hakusho.

[Yukito Kunisaki]

Shoot...what was that crazy guy from Ikki Tousen...the one who was like Blood Thirsty to kill Hakafu? I think not only was he evil, but a guy in need of a straight jacket.

[Cow]

Light is a sociopath

[Madame De Blurb]

Maestro Delphine-Last Exile... sadism to the core.

[superplough]

sounds just like Frieza to me.

[Lord Timaeus]

Maestro Delphine-Last Exile... sadism to the core.

Oh snap! I completely forgot about her!

Yeah, Delphine is the second *****iest person to ever be affiliated with Last Exile. The first, of course, is her lesbian lover MissKnowItAll.

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

I have to agree with Light on this one; it seems like he's the only anime protagonist who gets more insane with every passing episode. Only an evil genius like Light could pull off a twisted sense of justice.
I also have to go with Light. To say that he only gets more insane with each passing episode is almost an understatement; no psychiatrist would be stupid enough to take him on as a patient.

To "nominate" someone who hasn't been mentioned yet... Yami no Malik of Yu-Gi-Oh! is a sadomasochist down to the very bone. He lives for making others' lives as miserable as possible, including the life of his alter ego. He is not emotionless, since he gets immense joy out of watching other suffer, but he certainly never asks for forgiveness, and he certainly never becomes good.

[Jeikobu]

Oorchimaru of Naruto is the first that comes to mind, followed by Naraku of Inuyasha and Delphine of Last Exile.

[Levon]

Oh snap! I completely forgot about her!

Yeah, Delphine is the second *****iest person to ever be affiliated with Last Exile. The first, of course, is her lesbian lover MissKnowItAll.

Shes a great vixen. Sort of reminds me characters like Haman & Spoor. Although Delphine was much more evil.

[crow-kun]

I know one character who rammed a boa staff into a women's anus and through her mouth pulling out organs and all. Then stabbed another women through her breast and ripping her apart. Later he tortured a women with some very painful looking toys. He keeps his half dead brother in a room with a cage around his head and tied to a chair with bolts in his body which looks like it only has enough skin to outline the bones. Turns out he just needed some love from daddy (not that kind).

[Talon]

Has anybody said Aizen Taichou from Bleach yet??

[crow-kun]

Has anybody said Aizen Taichou from Bleach yet??Crafty yes, but most evil.....nah.

[Levon]

Grand Fisher is evil though^_^

[the_sandman]

i say Aizen from bleach. he may seem like a nice guy at first..but thats why he's so dangerous. a smart, decieving bad guys are usually the most evil.

aizen pretended that he liked a girl as his little student...than had the intention to kill her.

he messed with everyones head (even the oldest and the wisest captain yammamoto) using his nice guy attitude.

he is very very very powerful

[Levon]

^ You'd want to mark spoilers there. Its a pretty big spoiler.

[Scandiadream]

I don't know if Ack-io is the most evil one, since he does not physically murder anyone. But he is certainly the most despicable one.

[ThePirateKing]

Rau Le Creuset from Gundam Seed, The man wants to destroy the entire human population by pitting one against the other in nuclear warfare.

[Darren]

Miss Road from D.Gray-man is evil.

[Danzoh Katoh]

Well... I don't think anyone said this yet, but Yukishiro Enishi from Rurouni Kenshin. He kills the family that takes him in because he can't stand how happy they are.

Also, Shishio Makoto from the same. He sees people as tools, and simply uses them for his own purposes.

[Egyptpower]

I've have to with Light as well, mostly because of the way they showed how he turned from this justice believer into a sociopath who would kill anyone who gets in his way including the authorities.

[Len]

I'm sociopathic. You seem to have the wrong diagnosis.. we're very cheery people, actually. Moon pills ftw. Though APD can be characterised for some killers, It is more likely to call them out of their mind..

Antisocial personality disorder (APD) is a personality disorder which is often characterised by antisocial and impulsive behaviour. APD is generally (if controversially) considered to be the same as, or similar to, the disorder that was previously known as psychopathic or sociopathic personality disorder. Approximately 3% of men and 1% of women have some form of antisocial personality disorder (source: DSM-IV).

[MonkeyBoy0314]

Dude, g1 Galvatron tops them all!

He never hestitates to kill anyone if they're standing in his way (even if they're his own henchmen), and tried to destroy Cybertron and Earth in one effort. Although of course he always falls before one of the greatest heroes of all time (c'mon, you know who I'm talking about)

[kazuma92123]

Sesshomaru?

[superplough]

Dude, g1 Galvatron tops them all!

He never hestitates to kill anyone if they're standing in his way (even if they're his own henchmen), and tried to destroy Cybertron and Earth in one effort.

Frieza blows up planets without regard, including one that was populated entirely of his own henchmen (the saiyans). he then proceeded to torture children in order to get what he wanted from the nameks, and killed them afterwards anyway. thats pretty evil.

[Caine]

Is shishio that truly evil? He's ruthless in the mold of Stalin with bad*** sword skills, but I don't see the hell bent on torture and mayhem that some other have. As for Enishi, he seems to be a special case. He's just out to get Kenshin no matter the cost. He's insane, but I think that his goals end at making Kenshin suffer. Once kenshin's gone, I'd think he'd probably stop.

I'm not sure whether I should call Light less than truly evil because what he does with the Deathnote is so similar to what I might do, or whether I should call him pure evil incarnate for the same reason. I think true evilness goes to the guy in Yotsuba. At least Light has almost somewhat altruistic (in very, very, very twisted way) goals, whereas Yotsuba is all about enriching themselves.

edit: Also, Light has some lines. Very few, but he does have some criteria for who should die.

[Len]

Sorry about that, I'm not really good with this diagnosis stuff.:naughty:

No problem, I just think its better for you to know.
Now you know. :)

[mtlguymtl]

I think that 'Chaos' from 'Sailor Moon Stars' is the most evil anime character.
It is the pure evil and all it has in mind is to destroy everyone and everything.

So:

-It doesnt show remorse nore mercy, just kills everyone.
-Doesnt have ANY emotions.
-Doesnt become good (its impossible cause its the opposite of good).
-It makes Sailor Moon desperate and lonely when it kills all of her friends one by one like flies.

What can I say? It was THE most evil character..it destroyed most of the living planets before it came to Earth...and it kind of destroyed the Earth as well..:P

[Eriana]

Orochimaru or Itachi from Naruto. Either that or Darcia from Wolf's Rain.

[Danzoh Katoh]

I guess I see your point. Villains with a fixed purpose, eh? I guess it's too bad that you never know what could've been. Oh well.

[Len]

Orochimaru or Itachi from Naruto. Either that or Darcia from Wolf's Rain.

I disagree. I don't think anyone in Naruto is truly evil enough to be mentioned in any bad guy thread..

[ThePirateKing]

I agree no one in Naruto has the capacity to be truly evil, in Naruto they are bad either because they need power or want to rule the world not because they are truly insane and evil.

[April-san]

Seishirou from Tokyo Babylon
To "play" with the twins like that still makes my skin crawl. Thank goodness for X/1999 (Rainbow Bridge...sniffle).

I also agree Griffith from Berserk doing 'that' to the people who would have followed him to the ends of the Earth. I think that's what makes Guts/Gatsu so intersting, going against an evil like that.

[Ariel Tsuki]

I have to disagree with a lot of people with Light. Remember Light actually had a very noble motive in the beginning to do what he did with the Death Note. He was just consumed by power. His case is more "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" than actually evil. People like to use "oh, he said said he would've killed his family."

However, he didn't kill Saya when he had the chance when she was kidnapped by Mello. If anything, Light wants to AVOID an incident like that.


Also I believe Griffith before what happened wasn't truly evil either.

Imagine to have your body beyond recovery and unable to fulfill his dream that you sacrificed so much for. He did love the Hawks but his desire to fulfill his dream was too overwhelming. Remember, he hestitated at first that shows that he didn't want to do but felt he HAD to do it because there was no other choice to fulfill his dream. And I don't neccesarily count Femto as Griffith anyway.

Me and my sister totally blame Guts for that incident. If he hadn't left Griffith would've not fallen apart like that. I daresay that Griffith loved, or at least obsessed, with Guts.


Now for what's truly evil is Delphine from Last Exile, Orochimaru from Naruto and Johan from Monster. These people repeated display no remorse for any one and had less than savory motive form the get.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

... Dejiko from Di Gi Charat.

[EmberAlchemist0]

Orochimaru - Naruto
Dante - Fullmetal Alchemist
Kiyoji Mujo - S-Cry-Ed

That's all I got for now.

[Venus]

I'm surprised no one mentioned Muraki from Yami no Matsuei. He's a cold hearted, murdering rapist with absolutely no humantity in him. Honestly, I think he's one of the most fascinating villians in anime.

[Yukito Kunisaki]

Orochimaru - Naruto
Dante - Fullmetal Alchemist
Kiyoji Mujo - S-Cry-Ed

That's all I got for now.

Yea, Mujo was an a-hole.

[shuureigirl]

*Naraku (Inuyasha) - HATE the way he keeps NOT getting killed. :lol:

*Muraki (Yami no Matsuei) - DISGUSTING and perverse.

*That crazy guy with the lipstick from Noein (dang...what's that guys name?)

*Most of the family of Lord Kagetora (Mirage of Blaze) - They literally pimped Kagetora out as a youth to both the Uesugi and the Takeda clans. He was even gang raped during one of those times. Then when he reincarnated as Takaya, his older brother tried to use him AGAIN by stealing his soul. He just had a god-awful family.

[Len]

If one more person says Naraku I'm going to scream. He wasn't evil as in MWAHAHAHA I WILL KILL ALL LIFE ON THIS PLANET!.. he was just invincible and liked living lots.

He's pure evil. EVIL!:P

Yea, Mujo was an a-hole.

I'm glad someone agrees with me. ^-^

Naraku - from InuYasha

Delphine Eraclea of Last Exile.

Hey, the way he set up everyone...the guy was truly one. :P...Gah, the part with Scheris.... =\ I would love to kick his a** a few times. :)

[gameoffreak8]

Delphine from Last Exile

Ah, I completely forget about her!

[RamenBoy]

Light from Deathnote, **** the make the world better place ********, hes just using that to make himself feel a little better and sound more human. He will do anything to WIN. Killing family members included.

[Ender]

I'm unsure. Maybe Kid Buu? A mindless creature who lives to destroy everything. Ani Toguro from YYH is also a prime candidate. (spelling?)

[yushire]

Its Shion from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni :naughty: THE MOST EVIL CHARACTER EVAH!

She kill all of the main charcters in the show, she tries to make Keichii to be the suspect even though he isnt involve on the incident, she kill a 5 year old girl by slowly stabbing her as form of torture... And she psychologically torture Mion :( One of my most favorite character in the anime including Rika. And she also kill Keichii while in bed like Gaara tries to kill Lee in Naruto... And she maniacally laughs when a 5year old girl stabbing her head in the wall(Rika)

Gauron on FMP was pretty evil. The guy had no mercy for everyone, but always kept his cool. His english VA did a very very well job on him as well. The look in his eyes too....scary...o.o.

Gauron should have stayed dead in episode 7; his reappearance since then REALLY haltered his character. He supposedly died twice in the series before really dying in the end, and they give no explanation for how he survived both times.

True. You would think the guy is a ghost or something. I did like him as a villian though. He really shown little sympathy. Also when he was taking the AS in second to last episode, when he lifted the gun when everyone was going after him, he looked like he really couldn't give a S*** to what happened to him (As he already said). He was a true terrorist IMO. He might not be the most evil, but he was pretty despicable.

[oolafpratt]

I have to go with Light from Deathnote. A sociopathic megalomaniac with aspirations of godhood. Where have I seen that combination before?

[Yukito Kunisaki]

Bumping back, but After seeing two episodes of GTO recently, I would like to say Urumi Kanzaki is one hell of an evil witch. Knowing GTO, she probably has a bad past, but I suppose I will see. As of now, shes pretty bad.

[Arch-Defender]

Maybe not the worst but I'll give it a shot, Aion from Chrono Crusade, he's pretty evil.

[superplough]

Why the hell would you bump a four year old thread?

Anyway, going through the thread, it doesn't look like anyone's mentioned Yami Marik from Yu-Gi-Oh. That guy is completely sadistic.

Depending how you define evil, Akainu could count too. He certainly fulfils the OP's requirements. (One how shows no remorse or mercy in what he/she does, One who seemingly is emotionless, and doesn't feel,One who never comes around and becomes "good" or asks for forgiveness, One who derives pleasure in causing severe physical, mental, and/or emotional pain to others.)

Four years, actually.

Muraki, Muraki, Muraki... yes, you make murder and adolescent rape look FABULOUS, but it still makes you no less evil. You truly are a bat-**** insane doctor worthy of Shou Hayami's voice.

Oh, and speaking of villains voiced by Shou Hayami, ****ING AIZEN from Bleach is no slouch, either. Has there ever been a scene of him where he hasn't been either backstabbing/overpowering people or plotting to backstab/overpower people?

[Caster13]

Aizen is evil, but he isn't especially evil. He took godhaxing up to 11 though.

[Arnold]

Kyuubi ...little bastard :\

I'd say that Kyubei is less evil and more amoral.

Human morality is a completely foreign concept to him.

You need to seriously watch Puella Magica Mahou Madoka then. :lol: I never thought I'd read or see anything that trolls as bad as Kubo does until I started watching that.

Seriously? Kyubey's the biggest(and cutest!) troll ever.

[Caster13]

A bigger troll than Aizen?

[Ryvius]

Freeza's up there, if you don't include his short lived return... he never once admits defeat to Goku and his utter hatred pretty much kills himself.

Before getting his hands dirty, his main job was blowing up planets with his finger.

[goddessofanime]

Dude, seriously? That show totally trolls harder than Aizen and his Godhax :lol:

I'm surprised Desslock hasn't re-posted King Hamdo/Hando. I've never seen that series but I from what I've read up on it he was a psychopath.

[willag]

Let me 2nd, 3rd, 4th (whatever) Muraki from Yami no Matsuei. I hate that bastard. There is no other character out there who I've found, as of yet, that I loathe as much.

King Hamdo from Now and Then, Here and There is pretty high up there though.

Wow, at first I was thrown off by how tasteless this comment was, and then I realized it was stated in 2007.

Aizen should've taken lessons from Johan.

Medusa from Soul Eater, yet she is still awsome

Aizen from Bleach!!!

I think Kyubei from Madoka Magica deserves a place on the list as best newcomer. As cute as he is, he's one unethical space creature.

[Arnold]

I dunno, to me someone who is evil knows human morality but just doesn't care. With Kyubei, it seems he really just doesn't get it.

[DazarGaidin]

I think thats exactly it, he knows what human morality is, he just doesn't care/doesn't think it applies to him. He knows enough to leave vital information out, he uses half truths and tries to get them to do what he wants to satisfy his needs, and i think that is pretty evil. Saying "well you never asked!" doesn't really exonerate you.

If he really didn't know what morality is, he wouldn't be as devious as he is.

Yes, he leaves information out, I just don't think he gets why it matters. If leaving that information out is the only way to get the girls to do what he needs them to do, then that's what he has to do.

[autsiticanime]

Does Isaya from Durarara deserve nomination? He seems pretty twisted from what I've seen so far.

[ThePhillyFlash]

I dunno, to me someone who is evil knows human morality but just doesn't care. With Kyubei, it seems he really just doesn't get it.

Or he chooses not to "get it" and is scamming everyone. That's my suspicion.

[lilredphoenix]

For me I have to say Dilandau/Escaflowne not only did I think he was evil but also in a psychotic way. There is also Gantz not explaining how the game was played to have the participants figure that out messed with their minds psychologically.

[Arnold]

You know, Frieza from DBZ was pretty damn evil...

Kuro Hazama's dad (Black Jack). He left his dying wife and son to have fun with another woman. While his wife died, his son didn't. That son, Kuro Hazama, spent his entire life plotting revenge against his father, training to be a surgeon. So then Black Jack/Kuro Hazama meets his dad and his new wife who has some kind of disease on her face. Black Jack replaces her face...with his mother's.
