By the end of Yu Yu Hakusho, basically every murderous genocidal maniac and torturer turned out to be kind of a good guy, which is an exaggerated version of what Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli was doing sometimes, and well as many other authors of manga/anime.
Generally, I am not for enemies that are badly evil and evilly bad due to them being bad and evil, and also because they are evil and bad. There has to be a logical motive, unless the enemy is some ancient prime evil -- almost a philosophical concept rather than a character. In the case of YYH, however, it goes kind of overboard. When I was watching it, I was like, "Really? THIS one is a goody now, too? LOL". What are other examples of this trend exerted to this absolutely ridiculous level? |

It's hard for me to get invested in shounen shows. I am seriously dating myself here; but I remember in (elementary) school when fanatics of Naruto were derided as "Narutards".

Yeah, it can get annoying. To quote one Demon Slayer parody/summary, "yeah, that's sad, but you eat people."
You might find IDW's Transformers run interesting. They do a very interesting subversion of this trope, that ends with the arch villain who goes on a redemption arc concluding it by agreeing that he needs to be put to death, or be imprisoned for eternity. 'What ever my fate, I deserve worse." |
