I know that there are some animes that have horrible villains.
A perfect example of this is Incognito from Hellsing.

However I am talking about popular anime series that has the worst Villains overall. A series that has a combination of worst Villain to worst Villain. That keeps producing horrible villains on a pretty much weekly basis. Of course through out the series there are a few good may be even Excellent villains. But Overall the villains are horrible from one stupid villain to the next ridiculous idiot.

*ahem* And you? It's not optional that you start off opinion threads like this with your own opinion first.

I would have to nominate Akio Otori from Utena. Really sick bugger. Messed around with his own sister. Seduces Utena even though he is engaged. Uses his own sister a "prize" in a series of duels.

Have to admit though, I never did really understand the whole point of making it inside the castle. I just got really, really confused with the whole thing.

Still, don't like Akio though, confused or not!

what kind of horrible villian are we talking about?
is it horrible as in an awful person, or horrible as in stupid and bad at being a villian?

This is true. While I did nominate Akio from Utena, maybe Kin7cato is talking about something like Sailor Moon where you started with Jedite and ended the season with Queen Beryl and ended the series with Sailor Galaxia.

Knives in Trigun.... he just wasn't all that important. the sub villins were a lot more interesting.

... Huh?

Incognito was absolutely brilliant. Excellent character design. Ingonito was a three dimensional character who was intriguing and exciting


... I know you were probably being sarcastic then, but you can't really tell 100% whether one is being sarcastic or not on the internet.

For that matter, his constant, inconsistent trolling about Hellsing this-and-that is beginning to get extremely old.

I am confused is this thread saying what was worst bad guy, meaning he did lots of evil deeds. Or is it saying which anime have villians in them that are either stupid or make no point.
For the most evil dude going to have to go with Johan from Monster, first off the shows somewhat points out that Johan and Hitler have very similar characteristic. my post about johan/hitler (it's about 2/3 of way down) to me the mere idea that someone is held in the same account as Hitler makes me really scared. Oh yea it helps that Johan is also seriously scary just to look at......but at the same time he draws you in with blue eyes and you feel bad for him.
Till next time,

The stupidest villain...that would have to be, without a doubt, many of the early villains from Dragonball GT. The second half of the series I enjoyed, but the first half...from the start all to Bebi...I don't know what they were thinking! With 17, it gets interesting...but before that it was just crap.

Well, this part of his post, "However I am talking about popular anime series that has the worst Villains overall. A series that has a combination of worst Villain to worst Villain. That keeps producing horrible villains on a pretty much weekly basis. Of course through out the series there are a few good may be even Excellent villains....," makes me pretty sure he's referring to villians that are stupid or pointless. If this is the case, I think the worst anime villian has to be the Iron Masked Marauder from Pokemon 4Ever. He wants to steal Celebi for no reason at all other than to be evil, he's boring and predictable, has the lamest name for a villian ever, and he WEARS TIGHTS.

Lust from Full metal Alchemist,. spoiler[Lust killed her "boyfriend" Lujon although he did nothing to upset her, just because he looked like Scar's brother who she'd met in her past life. ]

Dont know if he was horrible,but seemed as though from knives from trigun.While he was not the most horrible as deeds go,he certianly was horrible in regards he wasnt a big a factor in the storyline as the sub villians were.
