[frosty sundial]

Aizen so nice he just wanted to help ichigo become stronger

[tiny summit]

REPLY XP

[limpid yarrow]

Uhhhhh

[gilded gust]

Prolly lady Nagant

[quaint rain]

Madara or maybe goku black

[faint kelp]

yeah def her

[wheat kayak]

Akaza, it's a manga spoiler so I ain't saying lmao

[tardy isle]

If we dont have to say mha villains, then 100% either Dazai or Chuuya

[graceful hedge]

Lady Nagant, 100%. Everyone else <<<

[foggy veldt]

Stain fr

[cosmic drum]

Gentle Criminal cause he mainly targeted corporations or institutions that were corrupt and never actively tried to bring harm to people or the general public

[placid mantle]

AFO, MHA

[serene pollen]

Dabi fr

[limpid yarrow]

Itachi from Naruto

[tall sundial]

Bertholdt and Reiner maybe?

[calm belfry]

Stain tbh

[foggy veldt]

Yesss

[brisk vessel]

Maybe Eren Yeager

[polar mauve]

Itachi

[vapid rock]

Idk

[halcyon vale]

lady nagant 💯

[limpid yarrow]

Would Itachi even count? Nah idk I'm too tired HELP

[cosmic drum]

otherwise I'm gonna saaaaay MAAAYBE Goro Akechi?

[fresh jewel]

probably Dabi and Lady Nagant.

[calm belfry]

his views are right but his methods are very controversial

[cosmic drum]

Does Eren count as a villain? asking genuinely I stopped watching after Season 1

[foggy veldt]

I mean he did get his point across

[empty fable]

Lady Nagant

[brisk vessel]

I think he is more likely anti-hero not a villain

[cursive nimbus]

Garou

[calm belfry]

I agree to his views and i myself would do what he did, "to keep the world clean someone has to get dirty"

[vocal aspen]

Kei Uzuki but I'm based

[calm belfry]

yeah but he is branded as a villain in the anime so i think it counts

[calm belfry]

true

[cosmic drum]

I'm being limited to just anime and I'm mad about it (this is a joke for joke purposes)

[split stump]

reiner from aot

[high crater]

Stain maybe? Because (I think) he only liked All Might due to his kindness and true heroism, which was something other heroes were lacking
correct me if I'm wrong I'm not updated

[fallow kiln]

This is one of those questions that normally I can talk for hours on it but as soon as I'm asked suddenly I've never seen an anime in my entireife my brain says

[shadow rover]

Twice.

[calm belfry]

half true but sure

[brisk vessel]

It is the reality of this world that someone has to look like a villain so others can become heros

[fresh jewel]

if i didn't read 'anime', i would've said the red queen from alice in wonderland 💀

[calm belfry]

to have good there must always be evil

[cosmic drum]

The live action movie?

[fresh jewel]

yupp

[cosmic drum]

EYYYYYYY

[near wolf]

Anyone from Border.
They just wanna protect the world from hostile Neighbors. It's not their fault, they don't know Yuma's good.
But they could have listened to Jin instead of tryna kill Yuma.

[cosmic drum]

NO YOU'RE SO RIGHT THO

[brisk vessel]

Actually most of Naruto villains all of them wanted peace

[viscid frigate]

Ngl bruh, Garou
It doesn't matter if you're a Hero nor Villain

[raven relic]

shigaraki he got every right to be a villian fr

[solar crater]

Spiral King

[cosmic drum]

if I wasn't limited to anime I'd say Vlad Masters from Danny Phantom and I will die on this hill

[keen magnet]

spinner and shigaraki

[grim oar]

i legit do not know other than Garou from One Punch Man

[cerulean raven]

Eren Yeager (shinzou wo sasageyo 🦅)

[raven relic]

obito from naruto

[empty fable]

Homura from madoka magica

[brisk vessel]

In that case Deku has all right to be a villain too

[keen magnet]

i believe so!! i agree with stain as well as spinner and shigaraki

[shadow rover]

Tsumugi from Danganronpa.

[raven relic]

ya i agree. good on deku for being positive tho

[narrow obsidian]

real

[jagged owl]

Shigaraki. Do I need to explain it fr?

[raven relic]

my favorite demon akaza from demon slayer!!!! :P

[narrow obsidian]

real

[keen magnet]

imo deku didn't go through as much at such a young age and afo did take him in and corrupt him so

[teal socket]

itachi naruto

[keen magnet]

I LOVE AKAZA

[raven relic]

true

[brisk vessel]

Yeah he is really good and well written character

[narrow obsidian]

Yeah

[raven relic]

so real. people hate on him for the movie but they gonna switch up soon

[grim oar]

tbh if it was any other villain, i’d pick The Boss from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

[rich snow]

I don't even know sobs

[keen magnet]

he's my favorite

[inland ibex]

I Madara uchiha, declare you the strongest of them alll

[brisk vessel]

I tried to dub akaza one time but i failed

[fiery eagle]

Eren Jaeger, he was #### and turned #### to #### ### #######

[cedar schooner]

Momoura Kusabi fr (guys this is a joke please don't agree with me)

[narrow obsidian]

Maybeee stain due to that one manga chapter :3

[rose hornet]

Twice and Lady nagant

[pastel pumice]

Twice and Stain

[high crater]

Shigaraki got corrupted big time though and the fact that him and spinner had a good friendship made it a tad better for my heart when they died

[keen magnet]

🥲

[brisk vessel]

I agree

But some words are missing

[high crater]

no crying though

[cinder quest]

honestly like idk probably gyutaro, before he was a demon

cuz like

he was just tryna help his sister

and thag bald dude had it coming

[woeful laurel]

Shigaraki

[somber lion]

Shigaraki lmao

[fiery eagle]

No spoilers

[frozen hill]

Lady Nagant

[serene meteor]

Shigaraki. And he’s not technically a villain but I’d say Isaac Foster..

[odd onyx]

Light yagami

[compact iron]

Obito/Tobi, probably?

Maybe Nagato or whoever Pain is.

[desert harbor]

Jin-

[hollow osprey]

Probably Dracula from castlevania

[brisk vessel]

In my opinion all naruto villains were right all of them wanted one thing: Peace

[summer sparrow]

i dunno if it's considered as an anime; but dracula from castlevania. his wife had convinced him that there was good left in humanity and taught her the practice of medicine, and she was burned for it. humanity basically betrayed his trust with that act

[bright rune]

Overhaul, definitiv Kai Chisaki

[primal epoch]

No

But great choice

If he was considered

My choice isn't anime but manga instead, Friend from 20th Century Boys

[pliant willow]

Lady Nagant because even after she was hired by All For One she still made the right decision in the end, to reveal what The League was planning.

[earnest spear]

Idkk

[silver quartz]

Gonna take a wild card here and say the chimera ants in HxH, to a point. They were just following their hard wired biology, it was either that or die. Idk, I don’t really watch anime ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lilac ether]

Itachi

I'm biased

[orchid stirrup]

shigaraki....😭

[orchid stirrup]

ong

[lilac ether]

He's not justified. I mean he's better than Dabi, but still.

[desert onyx]

Dabi. He’s one of my favorite villain characters of all time, he’s written so well.

[grim oar]

this, i agree

[left edge]

LA SQUADRA FROM JOJOS 😭 they had the EXACT SAME GOAL AS GIORNO AND HIS GANG but they just end up as VILLAINS

makes me mad to this day

[sharp pelican]

Itachi uchiha 😭 srry huge simp for him

[jagged nebula]

Catra? I don’t know😭

[open thicket]

Honestly... koro sensei from assassination classroom was a "on" villain. But in the end sacrificed himself for others. I think that's a good pocket

Pick*

[inland wraith]

light & yohan

[torn oak]

Wtf no

Bubaigawara, Toga, and Stain

[rugged juniper]

Geto from JJK tbh. I mean, in his place, who wouldn't turn evil? He ||constantly ate curses that tasted like literal vomit (which were the result of non-sorcerers), saw his friends die because of curses, saw non-sorcerers clap for the death of a girl he was supposed to protect (RIGHT AFTER she said she wanted to live), and he killed an entire village of non-sorcerers that abused 2 girls with cursed techniques (iirc). like yeah genocide is evil but he has seen the absolute worst in humanity and how they created curses||

[snow valley]

Gentle I think

But he good now

Such a gigachad omg

He didn't even commit too many crimes

Compared to the others at least

Like, he said he didn't like to act violent

He's my favorite villain in all of fiction

[subtle parrot]

Agreed

[snow valley]

He didn't even ever kill anyone

||not on purpose at least||

He has good intentions

[hazy palm]

prob dabi just cause|| i hate endeavor too||

[gentle trellis]

Light Yagami but only at the very beginning when he first found the death note. He wanted to lower crime and went after only those that deserved it. Also Dabi cuz ||fuck abusers||

[leaden kettle]

that is so real.

[bright rune]

Overhaul is the real Hero of MHA and the villians ruined His Dream

[golden jetty]

yessss

[hazy palm]

oh and stain

[versed helm]

lady nagant and then yk

[jade mortar]

Smoker from one piece

[cunning siren]

From the top of my head... Gentle Criminal

I hardly consider him a villain. He is at best an anti-hero.

[tough turtle]

Any villain who's seen the corrupt side of the righteous and heroic part of society.

Dabi. Sees how corrupt the hero society is. Pointing it out blatantly multiple times as well. Plus, he uses psychological warfare to fuck with people he's fighting. He has to have some kind of deeper understanding of things to be able to just chat it up to his enemies.

Non-anime character to answer this question: Luke Castellan from PJO.

[topaz reef]

stain

[dim prairie]

Akaza or Lady Nagant

[midnight estuary]

Pain from Naruto. Losing your parents to enemy ninja, losing your dog shortly after, then being taken in with other orphans and seeking to start peace only to watch another friend die... it's no wonder he became an extremist terrorist

[soft marsh]

THE GHOST OF THE UCHIHA

MADARA UCHIHA

[final trench]

Stain

[sly narwhal]

akaza, daki and gyutaro, and shiggy

[flint harness]

Frieza is innocent 💔

[still crow]

ok blud WHAT

[river crystal]

#general

[pliant stag]

any villain who fights for the sake of the people and not for the sake of their ego & the elite

[prisma drum]

any villain that was just someone who was mind controlled

[rose bloom]

stain

[lilac mason]

Toga.

[median epoch]

stain

[lilac ether]

What? I'm not wrong. His actions aren't justified, even though his backstory is tragic.

[eternal coral]

shigaraki

[lunar token]

madara... just madara

[faint stag]

Otto Apocalypse

[silk vale]
