Greatest manga/ anime villain

[Thorlief]

what's your pick?

I have to go with two guys from Jojo. First one is obviously Dio Brando, Jojo's 1-2-3 serie

immortal, cannibal, bisexual, vampire. And egomaniac as hell. Plus, if you tear off one of his body parts, even the head, he's still able to recover and grow another one. So useful. He wants the world and his ability to stop time is so interesting there's nothing between him and the ultimate victory. Nothing..besides Jotaro Kujo.
After the coolest final confrontation I've ever read in a manga Dio finally bites the dust, but he was pretty close to win.

Yoshikage Kira, Jojo's 4th serie

Kira Yoshikage lives in the small town of Morio Cho, Japan, in a home filled with third place trophies and non-descript photographs. In a drawer, he keeps jars of his finger nail clippings, which he uses to measure his luck for that year. He works a normal salaryman's job, and comes home to cut his finger nails and relax with his girlfriend. He lightly kisses her fingers and then pulls back with a slight frown on his face. But his girl is starting to smell...because it's a cut off female hand. Because you know, Kira is the most dangerous serial killer you will ever meet.
Noone knows him, noone even NOTICES him. He's smarter than everyone. And his stand Killer Queen has the ability to turn everything he touches into a bomb. So, if you meet Kira..don't look at him suspiciously, or you might be look at your own body parts flying NSWE in a funny way

Alkhanphel (New Guyver Series)
He was a dang cool villain. He pwned Aptom casually, made Gyout who was a powerful Zoalord in his own right with the power of gravity run away from him in fear, casually deflected all of Gyouts gravity blasts, came back from a blackhole, then proceeded to pwn Guyver's 1 and 3 by sending their own combined Megasmasher shot back at them. Guy had class too.
Kagato (Tenchi Muyo)
He flat out rocked as a villain.

[Kevin M.]

I Kazou from battle royal. Shows no emotion and kills with out remorse or reason. Also strong and fast as hell.

[Chrosis]

The Homunculi and Father from the FMA Manga

Orochimaru from the Naruto Manga

[T51R]

Light Yagami.

[Chrosis]

Light Yagami.

Yeah, he's definetly up there on the list.

[NilExtropus]

Griffith from Berserk is a good villain

[Ghost]

Ilpalazzo FTW:

[Nick Soapdish]

I think that Uchiha Sasuke of Naruto is shaping up to be an excellent villain. He's not there yet though and I don't think he'll still be one at the end of the series because he'll get redeemed.

[XPac]

Once upon a time my answer was Sessomaru from Inu Yasha. But he doesnt' really qualify as a villian anymore.

Same with Gaara from Naruto.

Seems like a lot of the villians I really like end up not being villians anymore for some reason.

[Dark Soul # 7]

I really like anime villain teams like Akatsuki and CP9. They're cool.

And Kid Buu.

[Sandoz]

Any of the villains in Angel Sanctuary: Rosiel, Lucifer, Sevotharte, Sandalphon, Mad Hatter...they're all great characters.


The Prince of Darkness never looked so good.

[sun tzu]

Light Yagami.

Completely agreed, though he might not count, being the main character...
After him, two of the villains from "Detective Conan/Case Closed":

Gin: Ruthless killer, evil, efficient, a crack shot...and frighteningly clever.


Kaito Kid: Not quite as evil as Conan's other enemies - mostly, he's a modern-day Arsene Lupin.
He's also a genius with tons and tons of class.

[Yun Lao]

For me I have to go with Yukishiro Enishi from Rurouni Kenshin or Millions Knives from the Trigun Manga.

[Vakanai]

The Ginyu force. They were cheesy as hell, and thats the definition of greatness in my book.
