Villains, who doesnt love them to a hero to rise he needs a obstacle to conquer. And this is a big Top List so hold on tight for this one. And to remember that spoilers exist here for the characters of each respective series. And to remember the viewers i do top lists in a diferent way where all my pics are at a equal level.
Aizen - Bleach
Aizen belongs to one the most dangerous villain types: one who possesses a functioning brain. Aizen uses his advanced intellect to manipulate his underlings and achieve his selfish goals. His even-keeled, calming attitude frustrates his foes as he frequently treats physical encounters as redundant occurrences.
Aizen is also a master tactician who never enters a fight without analyzing his opposition first, determining their strengths and weaknesses. He’s also incredibly proficient as a swordsman and in unarmed combat and moves at blistering speeds. His spiritual power eclipses most in the anime and can use his it to form a shield around him that can kill living beings close in proximity.

The Major - Hellsing Ultimate
On the surface, that's all this character is. That might seem uninspired, trite, or even a bit lazy. But watch him work and you'll find that The Major, although he does represent a few common cliches, is wonderfully written. And it's all in the context of an anime from Japan, a country that had a not very pleasant relationship with the Nazis that it tries to get people to forget about.
The Major has plenty of great moments, but there's one special scene in Hellsing Ultimate where The Major makes a grand speech to his troops. It is quite something to behold, and one of the defining moments for this character. The Major doesn't have a fiery, raving demeanor like Hitler. Instead, he is quite jolly and relaxed. With a demonic smile on his face, he goes into a sociopathic diatribe about his literal love of war. He describes with great glee and great detail how he loves the sights and sounds of the unique brand of suffering that armed conflict brings, regardless of whether he's on the winning side. He spouts lines like, “It moves me deep within my heart to watch a fresh recruit stabbing over and over into the bloated chest of a long dead enemy,” and “I love to be squashed under the heel of the American and British war machines; the humiliation as my men crawl around like vermin, ducking the York bombers flying overhead.”
This speech goes on for six minutes. It is brilliant stuff, and shows the plain nature of the man. He just loves war. He doesn't really care if he wins or loses. He just loves the conflict. Some men just want to see the world burn, but The Major wants to throw a party while it happens. But he's just so damn articulate and clever that his insanity becomes oddly intriguing as he gleefully wallows in the horrors of war with a poetic fervor.
Vicious - Cowboy Bebop
He didn't have any superpowers, and he wasn't out to conquer the world, but he was what every good villain needs to be a major challenge for the protagonist to overcome.
Vicious was a crime kingpin. Ambitious and ruthless, Vicious stages a coup against the biggest gangsters in the solar system. There could have been a sweet spin-off prequel series detailing the rise of Vicious, in the style of a grand epic reminiscent of The Godfather. But he was also once Spike's partner in crime, and once upon a time they both courted a special lady named Julia. This convoluted relationship with the series protagonist, Spike Spiegel, created a unique tension. Without Vicious, Spike was a somewhat lazy vagabond bounty hunter aimlessly traversing the spaceways from one job to the next. But with Vicious in the picture, Spike is motivated, focused, and determined. Vicious ignites something in Spike and the scenes where they face each other are pure anime gold.
Naraku - Inuyasha
If there were an award for Most Persistent Villain, this guy would surely win. Naraku was practically impossible to kill, and served as the primary villain in the Inuyasha series from beginning to end. He also has one hell of an origin story. Naraku was born in the days of feudal Japan, from the fusion of a horde of weakling demons and Onigumo, a criminal who got severely burned by his gang boss for trying to take over the gang. Onigumo ends up being cared for by Kikyo (a local priestess). Onigumo had a mad crush on Kikyo but got totally friend-zoned, so he made a deal with the local minor demons: they could consume his body, and the demons would combine into one entity to become part of new creature. And thus Naraku the villain was born out of opportunistic demons and a sexually frustrated invalid. A perfect recipe for evil.
Always plotting, and always cruel, Naraku's most notable skill was manipulation. Humans, demons, sinners, and saints all fell victim to his plots. It didn't matter. He could trick just about anybody into playing a role in his schemes. He also spends a lot of time wearing a baboon skin, complete with head. He's not only cunning and cruel, his fashion sense is creepy as hell.
Kid Buu - Dragon Ball Z
Kid Buu may not be the most powerful Dragon Ball Z villain (although that is highly debatable) but he’s certainly the most deranged and volatile. Those two traits, coupled with his childish frame of mind, make him the biggest threat to Earth among the anime’s rogue gallery.
If that mindset allows him inflict more damage and subsequently a larger threat to Earth’s heroes, then Kid Buu really is the most powerful villain in not only Dragon Ball Z, but in anime. His pursuit of Vegeta and Goku to challenge him led to countless planets being destroyed simply because they weren’t there. Buu just wants to have fun, and his idea of fun includes murdering countless innocents and achieving selfish and shallow goals.
DR. Eggman - Sonic the hedgehog
He is the Eggman and he always has the masterplan, since the begining and in all of his "personas" the good old doctor always has been the main threat to sonic and his friends specially in the comics here he is the most madman around being a image of polution, industry and science in the classical era of sonic.
Yes he has been in the bottom of the garbage can for some time because of the simple fact that he didnt was the main boss and because he tried to play with forces beyond his control namely god entities that live in the world like Chaos, Solaris, Dark Gaia but not the time eater because he was in total control of the creature anding in the last boss potition from sonic colors onward.
Madara Uchiha and Kaguya - Naruto Shippuden
In this case putting two characters was the most becase the two are connected for storyline reasons. Madara Uchiha is the type of villain who may be prone to lose his cool outside the battlefield, but when he engages in battle he enters a trance-like state and allows his expertise in combat to supplant any potential mental shortcomings. Uchiha’s chakra (think life source) is said to be so powerful that he can battle for hours on end without regressing. He even took on hundreds on opponents at once and easily dismantled them despite an unrelenting barrage of attacks coming from every angle. He also wields the power of Susanoo, a spiritual power that fights on the user’s behalf, and even manages to achieve Complete Body form, providing him with added agility and control of the Susanoo.
Of course when Madara abuses his power that triggers the wrath and the plan of the god of destruction Kaguya and its known that Madara was controling nothing at all, all had been planned by Black Zetsu son of Kaguya herself to give her a reason to return to the real world, its up to team 7 to destroy their final foe and end the everlasting 4º great war.

Raoh - Hokuto no Ken
The most badass villain in existence that even is own death was a explosion of testosterone and the full image of a badass. The eldest of Ryuken's four adopted sons, Raoh is actually the older brother of Toki and Sayaka and the younger brother of Kaioh. His name became synonymous with the star "Bōkyōsei" (Violent Evil Star).
As Raoh developed a fierce and terrifying fighting style, Ryuken came to fear his power and chose Kenshiro as his successor to Hokuto Shinken. Subsequently, Raoh broke the 1800 year law of Hokuto by refusing to give up his power. Ryuken tried to stop him from misusing the Hokuto style, but Raoh killed him and left the temple to further his ambition. He assumed the title of Ken-Oh (King of Fists) and amassed an army to conquer the wasteland. Among those to join under his banner were Jagi, Amiba, Yuda and Ryuga.
Dr. Doom - Marvel Universe
The ruler and king of Latveria himself, maybe the most powerfull human villain in the Marvel universe, maybe the only villain to be able to use science and magic at the same time (black magic mostly).
Dr. Doom has done many feats like: Stealing the power of the Silver surfer and Galactus, getting private and touchy with Scarlet Witch under Magneto´s beard just to Troll him and even with Sue Storm herself, defeated the Hulk in ONE MOVE and defeating the avengers at certain points, saving his mom from hell and Mephisto himself, going one on one and phisical with Ghost Rider, hiring Spiderman as a mercenary and letting him leave alive for respect and in conclusion conquering the world TWICE but going back on it because it was too easy and he was simply bored.
Blackbeard (Marshall D Teach) - One Piece
The "D" is not in his name by chance, Blackbeard is a pirate with a plan and is willing to take it to the end to become the king of the pirates and if he has to lie and backstab you in the back he will like a real pirate would do.
The begining of his plan made him broke one of the most important rules of a pirate ship, not to kill a crewmate, stealing the devil fruit from him, the one that now allows him to nullify other devil fruits, he captured Ace just to enter the shishibukai and steal whitebeard´s devil power and after running away becomes a emperor taking most of whitebeard´s domains. The fact is that at this point of time the fact that he didnt show up until now opens new possibilities for the character in the future od the series.
Matsunaga Hisahide - Sengoku Basara
What better villain to make this list than a equal personality as the joker in the sense that he just wants to watch the world burn. Hisahide made is first appearance e Sengoku Basara 2 Hero and in SB3 Utage by fan demand.
In the events of Sengoku basara 3 that of course are completly fictional, he is the reason Mitsuhide became crazy and with the identity of Tenkai, hell if we want to go even more in the past of the story of the games, he is the reason why Hideyoshi went blind with power, he was the one that made Tokugawa kill Hidedyoshi, why Mitsunari fought Ieyasu in Sekigahara. Yes, hisahide is the reason of the existence of of the story of SB 2 and 3 without even making an apearence while the country fell in desarry.
You can defeat him everytime as you want but you WILL NEVER give him the killing blow because he will blow himself up EVERYTIME, from a certain point of view as a insult to the player. Hisahide is a good writen villain that actualy acomplishes in his mission depending on the scenario you choose.
Cinder Fall - RWBY
All that she wants is to be feared and respected even if by force. Yes Cinder Fall is a evil version of cinderela if she went rogue and actually one of the few villians that (in part) achived total victory, she got that maiden power that she wanted from Amber to get and killed Pyhrra in combat until a certain surprise silver eye warrior in traing showed up.
Everything may point that she may had a rough childhood before meeting Salem (the probable main villian of the series) that gave her the tools that she needed to exercise her plan. But from what i can tell we havent seen nothing yet from her and if people hate her then i image when Salem comes around.
What is your favourite villian in video games and anime/manga?
Be cool!
