Makoto Kawashita from Mission: Yozakura Family

Kawashita is a great villain who has intense determination to see his dream through beneath his nonchalant and goofy behavior. Like the protagonist, he's motivated by love for another and a desire to create a peaceful life. However, he is unmistakably cruel and evil. His peace is built by sacrificing others, including the titular family, which made the climatic battle against him so satisfying.

I guess Orpheo from Seed Freedom. He made more dirty tactics than Rau to fight Kira and actually has his men nearly kill the guy, taking only one arm. His mobile suit has quite a design, contrasting the Mighty Strike Freedom and poses quite a challenge. to the point it is all decided in a sword fight

Hatsune from Yatagarasu: The Raven Does Not Choose

spoiler[You really don't see her coming until it's too late.] The less the explanation, the more you will enjoy.

Tobias Orlando from Dahlia in Bloom

Such a petty, shallow, and annoying man who behaves like a spoiled child.

Ubel from Frieiren Beyond Journey's End. She's interesting from the first moment on screen and is also a bit crazy and murderous but in a cool way with just a dash of Yandere. Definitely one of the most interesting antagonists on the show. I considered Serie, but honestly Serie isn't really a villain but an obstacle. Also people already chose Thistle, so I decided to nominate someone else.

I vote FREYA from Danmachi 5 Evil or Very Mad

How many innocent lives has she wrecked over the centuries just to satisfy her own selfish whims. Plus don't forget she's killed other gods/goddesses with her own hands .. She's truly despicable.
