Greetings, evil-doers. Everyone loves a good villain. Sometimes, we love hating on them and their dastardly deeds. There are villains in anime that are just the pure embodiment of evil with few to no redeeming qualities - much like Jujutsu Kaisen's main antagonsit, Sukuna. This demon king is just an all-around menace for no particular reason except that he loves causing pain and chaos. It's fun and refreshing knowing that Itadori could never quell this inner demon with the Power of Friendship like Naruto did with Kurama.

Then, there are villains with tragic backstories, villains that were driven to the brink of depravity due to circumstances outside of their control. We've all heard that Griffith did nothing wrong (he did), but the horrifying things he endured before he became an evil entity of darkness are what make him a compelling character. If you love a good villain origin story, look no further. Read below to find out which anime antagonist these netizens would defend with tooth and claw.

    umbrazno. 6d No. They were completely wrong about Pikachu. They put Ash, Misty, and Brock through all of that grief over a badge-boosted Pikachu that can't land physical attacks on a frikkin' Bellsprout. 47

    100percent_cool. 6d No, he was literally insane and could've wished all them away if he wanted to, instead he chose to murder them all himself while smiling. He was a sadistic murderer not fit for any sort of job that would put him in power. ← 43

    Kurejisan • 5d Shinji really did need to shut up and get in the mecha, because by not doing so, people, including his supposed friends, would die. If anyone else could've piloted that unit, Gendo would've had them doing it instead of his son and not because he didn't believe in his son.

    NightHawkJ72. 6d Seryu Ubiquitous (Akame Ga Kill). She was literally doing her job. Yes, she killed Sheele, but Sheele was a rebel assassin and Seryu was an Imperial police officer. Seryu is only a psychopath if your a rebel or a criminal. Other than that, she's one of the nicest people around, especially with kids. She had no idea idea about the corruption running rampant through the capital, and I can guarantee that if she met wild hunt she would have butchered them for their atrocities in a h
