Ranking of the most detestable anime villains in history

The farm setting in <i>The Promised Neverland</i> is inherently uncomfortable. The concept of treating children as food is just too evil.

The humans in Devilman are more terrifying than the demons... this setting is too realistic. The dark side of human nature is what’s truly chilling.

Shou Tucker is definitely number one! Nina's tragedy is still a psychological shadow for me even now. The most terrifying villains aren't the strongest ones, but the biggest pieces of scum.

Celestial Dragons (ONE PIECE)! Their collective arrogance and oppression are sickening. But this kind of villainous setup gives the story more depth.

A good villain is the soul of a work. Without a villain worth opposing, the protagonist's growth is meaningless.

Hong Kong comic villains are usually very straightforward—they rely on raw power to suppress the protagonist. But Japanese manga villains focus more on psychological confrontation.

A good villain should make the audience "understand but not agree." This kind of complexity is the highest realm of character writing.

Villains in the 80s were relatively simple—bad was just bad. Today's villains are becoming increasingly complex; this progress gives stories more depth.

As I've gotten older, I've started to understand the motivations of certain villains... this discovery makes me a bit uneasy. But that is the power of a great work.

Shogo Makishima from "Psycho-Pass" is a different kind of detestable villain—his logic is so perfect that it's impossible to refute, yet you know he is wrong.

I nominate a certain character from <i>Attack on Titan</i> (I won't name them to avoid spoilers). Their motivations are understandable, but the consequences of their actions are too cruel.

In yuri works, the antagonist is usually "societal pressure" itself. This kind of abstract antagonist makes one feel even more helpless.
