      I think thats one of the cool things about his character, he doesn't ACTUALLY want to live a quiet life. His stand ability is to blow people up (stand abilities reflecting the soul), and by the end of the arc, he's literally shouting his name through the streets of Morioh. He's such a maniac and a hypocrite, that it makes his character and actions feel super believable - and in a way - almost down to earth; He's the perfect neighborhood murderer to antagonize the slice-of-life-esque setting

    I’m so glad you put Pain in this list. Many people ignore Pain in favor of Madara and Obito but he as an antagonist with his views, ideology, philosophy, character aesthetics always stood out to me, especially his duality with Naruto. Btw you should check out Golden Kamuy. It has an amazing antagonist also called Lt Tsurumi.

      @frenchbaguetteoui ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Pain is a cool character (if feeling a little shoe-horned in), but the arc itself becomes kind of ass at the end, and this is where I started losing interest in Naruto as a whole. I'm fine with the whole "talk no jutsu" thing, even if it feels kind of cheesy, but the fact that basically everyone just comes back to life at the end destroys all stakes the series had. It makes the whole arc, even the series in general redundant if nothing truly matters. Having a complex ideology destroyed by a "yeah, but" argument and then having a game-changing event cancelled out is weak writing.

    The most brilliant part about Johan in my opinion is how impactful he is in spite of his relatively limited screen/page time. He really isn’t in the picture all that much, but his presence is ALWAYS felt. This to me is why he’s often described as “terrifying”. He’s built up as this monstrous amalgamation of evil, so when he does appear, you’re on the edge of your seat regardless of what’s actually going on, because you KNOW there’s so much happening beneath the surface. Anywhere Johan appears, carnage is soon to follow.

    Ulquiorra is a wonderful antagonists and the one I think best embodies Kubo's approach to Bleach in terms of both it's writing and the way it's illustrated. Aizen is great as well and very worthy of being as Iconic as he is.
    One of my personal favorite antagonists in anime and manga is the Major from Hellsing. I really love how well he contrasts all three of the main characters and the message his character conveys: That being that a mere human with a unwavering conviction, can be the greatest Monster there is.

    My favorite of all time is Takasugi Shinsuke. His feelings are so strong and understandable. His pure hatred for what the world did to him and how he was unable to shoulder the pain that Gintoki was forced to face. He could not forgive Gintoki for what he did and that’s why he wanted to be the one to do it. He wanted to never forgive himself than never forgive Gintoki. And the fact Gintoki did it filled him with hatred that he never wanted. The ending to Gintama is by far the best to any series ever. I stand by that claim until One Piece ends.

He single handedly managed to crush the innocence of a child whose hope still held out for the mother he never truly had. That whole part in the manga as well as that episode in the anime (ep 49) was so horrific to watch. A little boy truly experiencing humanities WORST aspects, and at the end of it all... contemplating s*icide.

    Words cannot convey the happiness I feel whenever someone talks about D.Gray-Man. When I started reading it I desperatly wanted someone to talk about it with so I tried getting my younger brothers into it. Sadly they were at the age where whatever your big sister likes is uncool by default, so that didn't happen. Well a few years later one of them came to me and was like "Hey Jasmin theres this really cool Manga you should read its called D.Gray-Man." THE FREAKING AUDACITY! But I was so happy anyone actually read it that I didn't mind it that much. Even today none of my friends have actually read it, only me and one of my brothers.
    Oh and on a side note, I know there is very little chance someone is actually going to read this but I highly recommend Pandora Hearts, thats another one of my favorites. It has a really slow start but the payoff to the mysteries is absolutly worth it. Just please don't watch the anime, pretty please? The anime is not all that good.

      I think he is the 3rd best villain in all of JoJo. The 1st is Funny Valentine, he is objectively the best villain and on the same league of Johan and Griffith in terms of writting and charisma. 2nd is Kira because he is an enjoyable, interesting and unique character who carried the 2nd half of the show. Pucci is easily the strongest JoJo villain thanks to his later stand Made in Heaven and his backstory is the best in all of JoJo which contains some philosophical stuff but his problem is that he has a large plot armor and he has not a charisma which Valentine has. But I think he is still one of the best villains.

    My favorite antagonist of all time is the leader and his various aliases/personalities from Usogui. I just love the way Sako Toshio shrouded the character in mystery, and as the story progressed more and more of his characterstics and relationships with others was revealed. I especially love the fact that there really was no ill will between Baku and The Leader, however they both realized they had to make sacrifices in order to gain/maintain the position they desired, Usogui is an excellent manga thats criminally underrated and i highly recommend it to anybody who reads this comment.

    This was a pretty good list, shoutout to mentioning askeladd who doesnt get enough recognition but my biggest issue is frieza not even being top 10 let alone not on the list. Eventhough he doesnt have as much development and a backstory, but at the same time he has the perfect opposing and similarities balance between goku as an antagonist eg their opposites would be how how he was born incredibly strong and sees his strength alone is what makes him superior and how he views others like pets while goku had worked with others to gain his power and sees all as equal, only judging character above strength meanwhile their similarities are how their ideals never change regardless of circumstances and events ought goku was weak compared to frieza he was still above those around him but came to the opposite conclusion. Other things such as how goku at that point had an internal conflict about being born a saiyan warriors who is ment to be ruthless and evil but was raised an earthling who is more complex and compassionate and frieza forces goku to accept his nature and nurture which allows him to become a super saiyan using the best parts of his nature and nurture to overcome the force that is frieza. Even in his first mentioning and appearance frieza is almost this force of nature/wall that cant be overcome. Frieza does everything a villian should do and more, Id go so far as to say he is a near perfect villian and offers uniqueness as unlike most villians he doesnt need any trauma or life altering event that changes his views like so many characters on this list. Id say in general when comparing him to other villians he is top 10, maybe top 7 as more arguments can be mentioned but for his story and protagonist frieza is in the debate for the greatest of all time

    Knowing that you’re not much of a fan of Rosario + Vampire: Miyabi.
    Miyabi shows up in the second half of the series as this mysterious character that’s often time helping the protagonist, or outright trying to hinder him. In his first appearance, he attacks one of the girls in the party, then at the end of her arc, proceeds to body everyone. Later on he shows up as a member of the antagonist group Fairy Tale, seemingly acting subservient to its leader before revealing himself to not only be the leader of the group itself, but also the dreaded alucard whose likeliness its protagonist Tsukune is compared to when he began his transformation into a vampire/ghoul. His motivations are connected to Moka as he needs the rest of his power in order to generically take revenge on humanity. What makes Miyabi such a deadly antagonist is that his presence mostly was followed by carnage.

    Great list the only choice I disagree with is Makima
    Crucify me if you want but just couldn’t get the hype behind her as a villain. She was an absolute force of nature with claws in everything and everyone, but to me was just a really tall obstacle.
    Still great list

    Bondrewd is a great antagonist because he believes what he's doing is good and being a loving parent.

    I have been really interested in manhwa these days. There are some of the villains that I found really enjoy to read.
    Lee shin from Judge and Executioner is one of my fav villain in manhwa.
    No bullsh*t, straight up EVIL.
    You should give a try,too.
