An anime where the main character is a villain. I will destroy the whole world! Or a hit parade of the most charming anime villains according to Kazuma
The new hero was born about 60-50 years ago, which was greatly facilitated by the “noir” genre. The signs of a new hero are silent, cynical, usually at odds with the law and society, torn by internal conflicts, but hiding a vulnerable soul under an icy armor. This “anti-hero” became a contrast to the usual image of a “knight without fear and reproach” with open face, friendly and correct.
Over the years, the image of a gloomy cynic acquired new details in the spirit of the times, was enriched with meanings, gradually transforming into a gloomy romantic, and became so seductive that Japanese animators simply could not pass by. Of course – such scope for imagination with a minimum of effort! ^_^ Moreover, the authors got so carried away that the current hero - “terrible in character on the outside, but beautiful on the inside” - has also become a common cliche. But the presence of such a hero guarantees high interest on the part of the audience, because dark romance has always excited the female heart.
This strange young man loves only his warplane. Has difficulty obeying the orders of his commander and friend Jack Bookhar. Ignores any attempts by others to penetrate him inner world. This hero is extremely closed and independent, lives in his own world, limited by the cockpit of a combat aircraft and the sky of an alien planet. It is difficult to communicate with him, he makes an unpleasant impression on many, but circumstances develop in such a way that over time those around him begin to trust his opinion unconditionally. The guy sparkled like a shooting star, but left a very deep mark in the hearts of those who knew him, and, literally, decided the outcome of the war between humanity and alien intelligence.
The independence of this hero has its origins in his deep knowledge of human nature. At the same time, the Pharmacist is calm and generous in a Buddhist way, and always secretly hopes to be mistaken with his conclusions. His dual nature is under strict control and manifests itself only when the culprit is found, actions are weighed and considered, and motives are determined. The pharmacist does not like to talk a lot, but his comments are accurate, and he sees right through people. This is the case when knowledge is power. His coolness lies in his wisdom, knowledge of the world and people. Well, in magic, of course.
Unlike most of the heroes on our list, this young man has an explosive and angry character, incontinence of emotions and bias towards others, often unfounded. With all this, Kanda is one of the best exorcists of the Order. His weakness is his comrades in the order, especially Lenalee Lee and Lavi. He carefully hides this weakness under feigned coldness. But as soon as his friends find themselves in danger, the cold-blooded Kanda simply breaks the roof and is capable of doing both stupid things and heroic deeds. He is connected with other heroes from our list by the belief that silence is golden, reluctance to show one’s weaknesses, rhinoceros stubbornness and courage.
How, you ask, how did this cynical careerist end up on the list of our heroes?! But what about the demonstrated lack of emotion, the arrogantly patronizing tone, the ostentatious cynicism and cruelty, under which are hidden deeply hidden strong and pure feelings– anger, thirst for revenge, tenderness and love? Definitely our man. In addition to purely external signs " cool guy", Roy Mustang is shown as a professional in his field, an excellent strategist, a man who is able to keep his feelings in check for the sake of highest goal, but ready to let go of emotions when necessary.
They say about these people: “A follower of the law!” This hero is the twenty-eighth head of the Kuchiki clan, one of the great noble houses of Soul Society. He is also the captain of the sixth division of the Gotei 13. He is an aristocrat and wears his noble origins like armor, demanding from himself and others unconditional obedience to rules and traditions. Outwardly he is always calm, indifferent and arrogant. All this hides a deep internal conflict, because Byakuya himself broke the rules, albeit for a good purpose. But for a pedant like him, this is no excuse. Fortunately, Byakuya is a noble soul and knows how to admit his mistakes.
Police detective, executor of the "Public Security Bureau" in a brave new world ruled by "Sibyl", a computer system. A proud loner who has made the decision to be out of society consciously and for compelling personal reasons. He is silent and does not let others in on his plans, not out of arrogance, but out of concern, so as not to harm people whose views he does not share, but whom he respects. He is so independent that it doesn’t even occur to “Sibyl” to win him over to his side, only to kill him. Because such a person cannot be caught either by vanity, or by money, or by promises of power. It's pointless to even suggest it.
One of the Dragons of heaven, the Guardians. A representative of the powerful onmeji clan, possessing magical powers, at first he does not believe in victory and is ready for defeat. A character with whom not only girls fall in love en masse, he is so romantic. Robert Patisson enviously smokes on the sidelines, because he will never play such submission to fate. It’s good that the hero changes over the course of the series, stops doomedly following his predestined fate and fights for the future of people seriously, and not out of “duty of duty.”
An older demonic brother who is quite contemptuous of his younger brother, the human race, enemies, the surrounding reality, his father’s covenants... And this contempt is not feigned, don’t get your hopes up. But, as it unexpectedly turns out, this arrogant demon is very soft in his soul, remembers goodness, does not destroy the world without reason, takes in a child to raise, and still does not raise his hand to kill his hated brother. But he gets up - to fight with Naraku and even save his younger brother and his horde of friends who are getting tangled under his feet. Classic example a pathetic hero who has one and only weakness... Fatal for pathos.
For once, we have before us an adult man, a whole personality, not burdened with teenage complexes. The complete opposite of the eccentric Mugen. Almost always serious, cold-blooded in battle, measured in words. At the same time, it’s not a fool to visit the red light district on occasion and sharpen a katana on the heads of your enemies. He always and with great enthusiasm takes the opportunity to show Mugen who is d'Artagnan and who is just out for a walk. He hides his true feelings deep inside, but becomes very attached to his strange traveling companions.
Vice President of the famous school club. So cynical that he extracts money from everything: romantic feelings, the desire of girls to listen to compliments, the complexes of rich ladies, the general secret of club members... A secretive cracker, always with a calculator, knows everything in advance, calculates everything... And turns out to be completely defenseless in the face of the sincerity and love of life of his friend Tamaki, the innocence of Haruhi, the defenseless prickliness of the twins, the calm patience of Morizuka and the foolishness of Honey. It is not easy for a super-rich smart guy, the heir to a super-corporation, to one day discover that money is not everything in this life. But Kay definitely liked this discovery...definitely...
This is who is truly dangerous, independent and cool. Of course, the guy has the ability to control electricity, is an agent of a secret organization, a “cleaner”, knows quite a lot and is persistently trying to find out even more. Smart, easily fools the police, a worthy adversary, whom enemies take into account, a devoted friend. Like a true hero, he has weaknesses. Like a true man, these weaknesses are girls. A striking example of a hero overcoming himself, circumstances and fate.
NICHOLAS D. WOLFWOOD "Trigun". A ruthless killer, a cold-blooded traitor, a cynical lover. A devoted friend, a gentle lover, a daredevil and a joker. All this is about him, the two-faced one. In the image of Nicholas there are many allusions to St. Paul, who also went through a complete reassessment of values after meeting another eccentric. An anti-hero in the full sense, charismatic, unpretentious, and at times talkative. At first he evokes burning sympathy with his courage and adult, if not cynical, attitude towards life. And at the end - warm sympathy.
SASUKE SAGARA "Full Metal Panic!" This is an image completely devoid of romance - a stupid martinet, not a word to say to the girls, just waving guns, that is, he knows how to control the bellows. True, as soon as the authors slightly lift the veil of secrecy over Sagara’s past, the attitude of the audience, especially female spectators, changes towards him. And there is an explanation for his ignorance, and awkwardness with girls, and stubbornness, and cruelty. And despite all his shortcomings, no one ever doubted Sagara’s courage and devotion, right? No one doubted that Sagara would come and save everyone. There is no one else.
KENJI HARIMA "School Rumble". And here we have a “reverse antihero.” Under the guise of a hooligan, cynic and stupid brawler hid a generous, vulnerable, talented and loving young man. What a pity that girls pay attention to appearance and rarely look into the soul! This is accessible only to a few girls who themselves have a subtle, vulnerable soul. What a pity that boys fall in love with pretty, stupid girls who are unable to appreciate them! But that’s what love is for, it strikes like lightning without aiming – and there’s no point in grumbling about it. But Kenji is a hero, although comedic, but unconditional. Such work on oneself, such changes are available only to true cool heroes!
The silent hero circles through the labyrinths of “dense metallurgical forests” of a strange city that devours itself and builds itself. He fights with terrible cybernetic creatures, finds people, accepts help or refuses it, and searches for what truth he doesn’t know. Cold and dazzling - without a future or past, without hesitation, a shadow of fear or doubt in actions, he takes any reality for granted. Such a merciless image of an absolute hero, almost devoid of human emotions, which, by the way, is so...
TATSUMI OGA "Beelzebub". Children are the flowers of life, even satanic children. It’s hard to argue with this, but if you suddenly want to, look how the pathological brawler Oga Tatsumi has changed from communicating with a child and realizing a sense of responsibility! If earlier he fought just because his fists were itching, then after a child from hell came into his care, all his fights became deep meaning and a clear goal! And without joking, the example of this comedy character shows the unsuspecting viewer that even a gopnik can turn out to be sensitive and generous, and, without losing the purely boyish ability to fight deftly and not retreat, learn to compromise and see in people and good. Such heartfelt work shows true hero, albeit somewhat noisy for an ideal, but very, very persistent.
STAZ CHARLIE VLAD (Blood Lad). Can a kind, sympathetic and sensitive person lead one of the largest sectors for several years? the afterlife? It was impossible to suspect Staz, a cruel vampire who drinks human blood, of such character traits. But the appearance of Fuyumi Anagi in hell allowed the viewer to enjoy true character this hero. Under the mask of a vampire hides a person who, for the sake of love, is capable of turning rivers into a new direction, destroying a couple of cities with residents and tearing to shreds anyone who gets in her way of Fuyumi’s return to the human world. And when listing the capabilities of Staz, I am not speaking figuratively. In his heart sits a bullet, fired as a child by his own older brother in order to reduce the boundless power of the young vampire.
In the world of Naruto, two years flew by unnoticed. Former newcomers joined the ranks of experienced shinobi at the rank of chunin and jonin. The main characters did not sit still - each became a student of one of the legendary Sannin - the three great ninjas of Konoha. The guy in orange continued his training with the wise but eccentric Jiraiya, gradually ascending to a new level of combat skill.

In Shintoism, the power of a deity is determined by the number of believers, but our hero has no temple, no priests, all donations fit into a sake bottle. The guy in the neckerchief works as a handyman, painting advertisements on the walls, but things are going very badly.

Lovers of human flesh are outwardly indistinguishable from us, strong, fast and tenacious - but there are few of them, so ghouls have developed strict rules for hunting and camouflage, and violators are punished themselves or quietly handed over to fighters against evil spirits.

The list of anime characters that fans of Japanese animation consider the most evil, unpleasant for whatever reason, is no less interesting than the list of goodies.
Anime is huge world full of interesting adventures. But Japanese cartoons, like European ones, cannot do without villains who oppose the main characters. We propose to find out who the brightest and most memorable anime anti-heroes are.
Light Yagami, Death Note
This character cannot be described as a clear 100% villain. Imagine yourself in the shoes of a person who wants to make the world a better place, but does not have any power or authority to do so. And suddenly a notebook comes into your hands, giving you enormous power, but to use this power you have to kill.
There are 2 options here - either give up this power or start killing. Alas, like most people faced with unlimited power, Yagami breaks down and first of all loses himself. One can only feel sorry for him. Well, I think you all guessed who the real villain turned out to be.
Father, Fullmetal Alchemist/
The creator and leader of the homunculi is very calm and serious. But behind these features lies coldness and ruthlessness, although he does not hate people.
The father considers them tools designed to serve his purposes. He is driven by a thirst for power, for which he is ready to sacrifice everything he can without hesitation. Quite a canonical “humane” villain. In similar circumstances, about 90% of the inhabitants of our planet would behave in approximately the same way.
Johan Libert, "Monster"
The whole essence of the main character of the animated series is contained in his name - “monster”. It costs him nothing to deceive, kill, or cripple other people’s destinies. He easily subjugates people, which even becomes scary - can no one really stop him? The matter is complicated by his beautiful appearance and angelic speeches.
True, pure evil; a person literally without a soul. Very bright character, It should be noted.
Majin Buu, Dragon Ball Z
This hero cannot be classified as an antagonist who is driven by the desire to take revenge or take over the world.
He has incredible strength and can kill anyone, however, when he does this, he does not pursue any goal. He just kills.
Griffith (White Hawk), Berserk
An outstanding commander and Hero of the Hundred Years War with an amazingly beautiful feminine appearance, he is very smart, but cunning and cynical, although he tries not to show the latter. To achieve his goals, he is ready to use any means. And he treats the people around him as useful tools with which he can achieve what he wants, although this does not prevent him from appreciating his people.
After the Renaissance, his character changes - he wears the mask of the kind and sympathetic Griffith, but underneath it hides the impassive and cold Femto, a monstrous demon capable of anything. The story of an incredibly ambitious man who received more than enough for his atrocities, but only became worse for it. True scoundrels.
Diva, “Blood+”
The diva, unlike her twin sister, who was brought up in an atmosphere of love and warmth, lived the first 60 years of her life in captivity.
Lack of attention and neglect from people led to her hatred and mistrust towards people. A special drug “Delta 67” is made from Diva’s blood, which turns ordinary people into Chiropterans.
Naraku, "InuYasha"
The half-demon, whose body consists of many pieces of various demons, is damn smart, cruel and cold-blooded. Multi-step intrigues are his specialty.
To achieve his goal, he will stop at nothing, and nobility and pity for the enemy are concepts alien to Naraku. He loves to mock and mock his enemies and usually makes his plans so that they experience not only physical, but also mental pain.
Medusa, "Soul Eater"
Obsessed with experimentation and interested in magic
Medusa prefers to hide in the shadows, not advertising her activities. Even when appearing in public, she takes on an almost unrecognizable image. Pretending to be white and fluffy, the insidious witch is working out her plans to take over the world in her head.
Makoto Shishio, "Vagabond Kenshin"
When Shishio turned 20, he became an assassin for the government, but the anti-hero was so powerful that the government ordered the Shinsen to kill him.
Shishio was beaten and set on fire, but he survived and began to take revenge.
Major, Hellsing
The commander of a battalion of Nazi vampires, a brilliant orator, a villain and a madman manages to turn London into burning ruins in just one night.
This little man obsessed with an endless war and prefers the roar of explosions and the groans of the dying to any music.
Shu Tucker, Fullmetal Alchemist
Well, this is probably the most disgusting and vile villain in the history of anime series. Researcher Shu Tucker was the first to create a chimera capable of understanding and reproducing human speech.
But to create it, he used his own wife, and 2 years later he created a second chimera from his little daughter and her dog. This character does not kill, but cripples the destinies of people, turning their lives into hell. The episodes with his participation are among the most creepy and are not recommended for viewing by children.
Ikari Gendo, Neon Genesis Evangelion
The heartless bastard of the protagonist, unable to think about anything other than his ambitions, lost in the web of his own grief, wanting to change/destroy the entire world to suit his personal whim. The person, by the way, is deeply unhappy, unable to see happiness and has forgotten how to love.
Gloomy, quiet, incapable of sympathy...
Harry, Gungrave
Gungrave's narrative centers on the fate of two friends. Brandon and Harry grew up in an orphanage and always made a strong team. The silent and physically strong Brandon solved those problems that could be solved with his fists; in other cases, the eloquent and cunning Harry came into play. Together they rose from the very bottom, overcoming many trials, but at the top of the mafia world there are other temptations - there is no place for straightforward and principled heroes, capable of self-sacrifice and not tolerating lies.
As a result, Harry becomes the personification of evil. At the same time, very realistic. After all, if you judge, then any person who is able to commit evil of such magnitude, in order to become the main villain, must realize what evil he is doing. Harry McDowell demonstrates this to us perfectly - he, like any other person, denies his guilt and tries in every possible way to justify his actions, but by his actions, by his reaction, by his charitable trips to the shelter, one can understand how difficult this burden is for him .

A moment of deep philosophy: very few people cause destruction, chaos and paperwork on the streets simply because they like to be scoundrels.
As a rule, the reasons are buried deeper. And even the most hopeless outcast, unscrewing light bulbs in an office elevator, is not such a bad guy - if you delve into his story.
And if you also analyze the composition of the crimes, it becomes clear that there are objective reasons for everything. Especially when we're talking about about anime, with its hidden high meanings. Meet 5 antagonists who did everything not only correctly, but definitely logically.
Lucy
Elvish Song
Yes, the girl has a number of sins. Things didn’t work out with the military, with unfamiliar children, and I freaked out a little with my lover’s relatives. Things didn't go well with my colleague either.But let's face it: Lucy was raised as an experiment. She was not taught sensitivity and understanding - she's actually a weapon. And the military always did not care about her deep inner world. And the children actually killed her puppy! But with the extermination of the family, my friend went a little too far, okay. But she's a girl - she freaked out a little.
Light Yagami
Death note
Let us remind you right away: Light is initially an excellent student and a _very_good_ guy_ (this is immediately dangerous, but we’re not talking about that now). He decided to play god solely from high motives, dreaming of clearing the world of bad people. It just turned out a little like always.This generally raises a question that has haunted psychologists, philosophers and everyone else since the time of Plato: does one person have the right to decide the fate of another? And where is the boundary of the objectivity of such decisions? In general, it is stupid to judge a high school student for the fact that at some point he began to solve these issues in his own direction.
Griffith
Berserk
Griffith is quite a so-so guy - he seems to have not missed a single particularly serious article of the Criminal Code. But let's be honest: if Guts hadn't abandoned him at the very beginning, none of this would have happened! Griffith would have simply continued to inspire his squad, and would not have gone off to deprive the princesses of honor and slaughter their enemies in droves. So all this blood is on the hands of Guts, white and fluffy.JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Wikipedia describes it as a noble warrior who has the power of wind and reflexively attacks anyone who steps on his shadow. He killed a couple of good guys - but they started first. There’s not even anything to argue about here: you were raised by Kars (the leader of the bad ones) from childhood and simply don’t know the other rules of the game.Meowth
Pokemon
A talking poke cat, sweating from his paw pads, works for the total scoundrels from Team Rocket. But let's look at history! Pokemon did something that no other kawaii monster can do: I learned to talk to people myself. Without the help of speech therapists and electrical treatment, it is trivial to impress the female Meowsy.This didn’t turn her on much, so he did what anyone in his place would do, he decided become powerful and rich so that she will regret\change her mind. It is worth noting that Meowth remains the smartest member of Team R. And very humane at the same time.
A manga where Mr. is unrealistically strong from the very beginning and at the same time does not become weaker throughout the story.
An ordinary guy named Saitama becomes frustrated in his life after he cannot find a place in the white-collar Japanese society. One fine day, seeing a monster and defeating it, he decides to take the path of a real hero.
From the very beginning of the work, Saitama has truly crushing power, capable of defeating the villain with one blow. The whole gusto of the story is that the protagonist, being a real imbecile without emotions, does not pretend to be weak (he frankly doesn’t care about anything, including public opinion).
A loner in life, who does not boast of his power, he, however, attracts the attention of the cyborg Genos, who eventually becomes his student. When, like the other characters, they try to overcome themselves, overcome their opponents, and curb their weaknesses, he doesn’t need this at all.
One of the best Japanese comics in the shounen genre, with excellent art from the mangaka Murate-sensei (author of “Ishield 21”)
The Breaker
A manga where the main character, a guy named Lee Sooin, is an ordinary Korean schoolboy who has a pretty girlfriend, but is constantly bullied by bullies. One day, in educational institution a new cool teacher appears who wipes the nose of the gopniks.
Partly because of his desire, partly because of the prevailing circumstances, he becomes stronger and enters into real world martial arts (actually fictional and unreal), where he has to choose his path.
Among the advantages of the manga are excellent drawings, decent action and quite interesting story. And all this against the backdrop of a typical rag-kun (not only at the beginning of the story), extremely inadequate characters (bullies are more like murderers, sadists and scoundrels, but not like typical students) and the absence of an ending.
However, despite all the shortcomings, reading is highly recommended.
The Rising of the Shield Hero
A manga where he finds himself in another world along with the rest of his peers, receiving by default the status of a summoned hero, obliging him to fight against the forces of evil.
However, instead of gaining possession of a real weapon, the protagonist named Naofumi becomes a shield hero, who, as it turns out, is not particularly favored in the local kingdom.
And now on the third day, robbed, accused of false rape by the fidgety princess herself, and abandoned to the mercy of fate by the king and his subjects, the main character becomes an angry loner, betrayed by almost all the people he knows in this world.
Filled with anger he finds his own way revenge and a simultaneous way to fight demons. Fortunately, the newly made ward turns out to be none other than a slave, who over time warms up to Naofumi, at the same time becoming for him not only a useful tool, but also a reliable comrade in battle.
Shield Hero is essentially a manga where he appears as a kind of lone villain, forced at first to hide his identity and use all means to win. However, after several volumes his status changes and the harem expands. Although, a company consisting exclusively of the fair sex has a purely technical function, that is, grind, grind and grind again.
The most surprising thing is that the work does not need an RPG component at all, which the author for some reason deliberately inserted into his fantasy world. In any case, the comic is of interest only in the initial chapters, gradually merging into another dull, endless shounen about a loser with an emphasis on unnecessary pumping.
Id - The Greatest Fusion Fantasy
Manga about a guy who got into a parallel world, not much different from his own. An example of excellent work, when you can do without such boring schoolchildren, misfits, RPG elements, grandees and similar nonsense that is now fashionable to shove into works. The bias towards standard fantasy with elves, dwarves and dragons with good old magic (without any pop-up statistics windows) will warm the soul of any sophisticated gourmet.
The only negative is the fact that the main character is incredibly strong (practically a genius). But interesting plot moves and a complete narrative reduce all the minor flaws of the manuscript to nothing.
Tales of Demons and Gods
A manga where he is reborn after death, moving into his own body at the age of thirteen, when he was still a child, and the grass was greener. An excellent example of the saying: We started for health, and ended for peace.”
Nie Li (that's his name) central character) is essentially a real imba. But if in “One Punch Man” this is the main feature and generator of humor, in “Ida” it is more of a narrative element that does not ruin the story, then in “Tales” it is a tool for solving any problems. M
Anhua (because the original source came from the pen of a Chinese) abounds a huge amount its inherent clichés. Nie Li always wins, never prevails, is always right (even if he is wrong), and is the adoration of all the local ladies. A separate topic worth mentioning is the hero’s attitude towards anyone who disagrees with him. You can miss it when the typically cardboard villains (because villains) are once again left with a nose and broken bones. But when the same thing happens to the father of his beloved, this says a lot about the “peculiarity” of this work, and the “adequacy” of the mangaka.
Yes, I'm a Spider, So What?
A manga where the main character is a girl who dies and is then reborn in another world along with her classmates. Like most Japanese comics, instead of becoming an ordinary person the character transforms into another creature (vampire, undead, slime, orc, dragon, etc.). IN in this case- spider.
Record of Wortenia War
Once upon a time there lived an ordinary student, Mikoshiba Ryoma. And everything was fine until he was mobilized to another world on the brink of war. The conscript did not like this, and he decided to escape, and at the same time kill a dozen people using martial arts. But he didn’t have to wander alone for long, as he meets twin sisters who are slaves. Yes, not simple ones, but those that have magic.
Chronicles of the restoration of the kingdom by a realist (How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom)
One day, usual Japanese guy Soma is called to another world by the king of a certain country, Elfrieden, in order for him to settle difficult relationships with the local empire. GG turns out to be brainy (or everyone else is stupid), and as a bonus he receives the magical ability to move.
Seeing remarkable talents in the boy, the Monarch publicly refuses the crown and gives it to his newly-made successor, giving him in addition own daughter, half the kingdom and all the power.
