Manga and anime often feature a variety of bad guys which range from the silly to the ones who are just plain evil.

Here are the top 10 unforgivable villains who stand out as the most hated manga/anime characters.

10. Shou Tucker, Fullmetal Alchemist

Shou Tucker was an alchemist who didn’t kill anybody. Why is he on this list as one of the most hated villain?

Because in order to keep his alchemic grant money coming, he turned his own adorable daughter Nina and her equally adorable dog into a chimera.

He merged them into one hideous, pitiable monster whose life was nothing but pain and confusion and betrayal.

He may not have killed anybody, but he hurt every single person who watched Fullmetal Alchemist.

9. Diva, Blood+

Speaking of horrible violent acts, Diva, the fellow Chiropteran Queen sister of Blood+’s protagonist Saya came so close to killing her adopted brother Riku.

To be fair, while Saya was raised by a loving adoptive family Diva was kept locked in a tower and psychologically tortured, but still, not cool.

Anyways, Diva killed a bunch of more people, many of them Saya’s friends, before trying to turn the entire world into her Chiropteran monster pawns through an opera performance.

8. The Major, Hellsing

The Major is a Nazi. However, the Major is evil even among Nazis, mainly because he’s really, really prepared.

After fleeing Germany at the end of World War II, the Major planned for 50 years to take his revenge on England, amassing an army of vampires, monsters, war-zeppelins, and more.

Not only is he good at war, he really, really enjoys it — his plan wasn’t just to begin a new 1,00-year Reich, his plan was to so fuck up the world that he could stay at war the entire time, too.

He killed three million people, pretty much for kicks, and destroyed Alucard in a trick that involved him sucking up all the blood in the annihilated London.

This villain is pretty impressively evil.

7. Naraku, Inuyasha

Naraku might not be the evilest villain, but he’s possibly the most annoying.

His whole plan in Inuyasha was to collect the pieces of the demon shard, but he did it it the most dickish, least effective ways possible, as if all he really cared about was making Inuyasha and his friends feel shitty.

He tricked Inyasha and his lover Kikyo into hating each other, he had Sango’s brother Kohaku kill their entire family, he set Inuyasha’s brother against him.

And he even made multiple clones of himself in order that the Inuyasha gang could fight and defeat him every single episode and be sure to get absolutely nowhere on their obnoxiously long journey.

There are plenty of Inuyasha fans who believe Naraku is the biggest asshole on this list.

6. Griffith, Berserk

It can be difficult when a friend leaves, especially when that friend is also a co-worker.

Suffice it to say, Griffith did not take it well when Guts left his mercenary group the Band of the Hawk.

How bad? Well, later, after Guts had come back to rescue him several times, he sacrificed the rest of his Band in order to become a powerful demon named the God Hand, and the first thing he did was rape Guts’ pregnant lover Casca right in front of him.

What Griffith’s evil lacks in quantity, it more than makes up for in total wretchedness.

5. Johan Liebert, Monster

Johan Liebert is a serial killer that would make Hannibal Lector step back and say “whoa.”

He killed his adoptive family, he killed the co-workers of the surgeon who saved his life, he even managed to talk all the students and instructors of a secret Germany military training program into killing each other.

He’s actually so evil and murderous that a Neo-Nazi party tried to get him to become the new Adolf Hitler — which wasn’t Johan’s style so he massacred most of them so they’d leave him alone.

When people are asking you to be Hitler 2,0, you know you’re the villain of the most hated.

4. Father, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

The antagonist of the original Fullmetal Alchemist manga and the second anime Brotherhood bears a striking resemblance to protagonists Ed and Alphonse Elric’s father Van Hohenheim, but he’s quite different.

Mainly in that he is willing to kill the citizens of whole cities and even entire countries in order to advance his own power, and that he succeeds in both, killing millions.

The reason why he does the former is to free himself from the flask he was trapped in, which is kind of understandable, but the country sacrifice was simply to absorb the power of God, which is a feat as arrogant as it is evil, and it's pretty evil.

Oh, and he’s more than willing to kill his own children, the Homunculi, in order to achieve his ends.

3. Light, Death Note

Young Light Yagami only wanted to help the world when he found the Death Note, a magical notebook that would kill anyone whose name he wrote in it, in the manner he described it.

He used it to kill criminals who escaped justice or were in the middle of their schemes… and then he just started

killing all the worst criminals, even if they were already in jail.

And then he killed a detective who had stumbled onto his secret — in order, he told himself, to serve the greater good.

That was a first step on a slippery slope to eventually killing everyone he decided was a criminal, regardless of what the law said, as well as anyone who tried to stop him.

2. Teach Marshall D, One Piece

The name you’ll recognize him as is Blackbeard, a former member of the Whitebeard Pirates second division.

One of Portgas D. Ace’s underlings, his first appearance in One Piece was not really memorable. He was arguing with Luffy over some food in a restaurant.

Luffy’s brother, Ace, told him about Blackbeard and how he betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates, and that he was searching for Blackbeard.

Next we heard of Blackbeard, he had captured Ace and joined the government, leading to the death of Whitebeard and Akainu punching a hole through Ace’s back, killing off one of the most loved characters.

After that, Blackbeard has become one of  the most hated characters in anime.

1. Frieza, Dragon Ball Z

To many anime fans, Frieza is one of the most legendary manga villains in history.

He is cruel, he is cunning, he plays dirty, and that ain’t even he’s final form.

Taking the top spot in this list definitely ain’t no surprise as Frieza has done so many atrocious acts, including wiping out entire civilizations alone.

Don’t let those villains you hate ruin the anime that you love. As Ace said, “We have to live a life of no regrets.”
