Nikolai Google Bongo stray dogs foreign Brigade known as decay of the Angel Nikolai and his cohorts are all about destruction and control something that is frighteningly good at despite being obviously insane with an ability that allows him to manipulate space the jester can pull literally anything out of his coats making him lethal in battle he's also excessively difficult to kill given that he was able to shrug off getting chainsawed in half the only thing scarier is his inability to stop laughing and making those crappy jokes number 15 Benny susame Knights of cydonia by themselves the gowner are already some of the most disgusting and dangerous creatures to ever grace the cosmos after all they did end up breaking the Earth in two what could be worse than that how about one that takes on the form of a blood-soaked Mecca that frequently uses the voice of deceased lovable character shizuka as such this creature is not only able to fight the rest of the god of pilots on equal footing but also taunt them with the voice of their fallen comrade number 14 UB Hunter Hunter [Music] up while each of the royal guards are horrifying in their own right none quite match the Primal Fear inflicted by this Chimera and behemothy not only does yupi possess extraordinary power when it comes to punching the guts out of hunters but should he ever be overcome with rage you'll likely see him transform into either a blood-curdling mass of tendrils or a warmongering centaur though whichever form he may take only one thing is certain death the question number 13 Matt Pierro Cowboy Bebop they always turned up did they say he appears with a smile and he leaves with a smile a classic One-Shot anime villain who is celebrated for their crazy debut even to this day this bloated assassin may have more than a few screws loose but he's a genius when it comes to using a variety of weapons to eliminate his targets to the extent he nearly took out Spike Spiegel during their first encounter foreign debilitating fear of cats ultimately spelled his Doom you have to admire how such an unorthodox character was able to come so close to offing the space cowboy can you imagine if it was the last face you saw [Music] [Applause] [Music] re-zero in another world with his freaky appearance and tendency to contort his body during conversations this sin Archbishop was unsettling enough as is however things only got worse when he managed to get his hands on Subaru and REM using his magic to torture them in a truly heinous version loving every second of the process short Subaru managed to best him after resetting the timeline but that doesn't take away all the cruel actions that this witch's cult member inflicted you can't expect us to unsee Ram being twisted like a ragdoll anytime soon [Music] number 11 all for one my hero Academia now this is what you call a super villain [Music] enemy of all might this responsible for setting up the league of villains but was also strong enough to effectively undo the symbol of peace while his strength is truly alarming the scariest part about this faceless fiend is his cunning torturing all might over the death of his predecessor by turning her grandchild to the dark side being a prime example [Laughter] he may have been bested in the end but this OG villains Legacy still lives on you'll save me number 10 Vanilla Ice JoJo's Bizarre Adventure starred us Crusaders out of all the stunts that the Joe stars have ever fought against none have quite inspired more fear than this endless void in service to Dio the vampiric Vanilla Ice might sound like a comedic villain especially when you find out his stand is called cream but trust us this guy is no laughing matter able to summon a demonic creature that can suck foes into a pocket Dimension Vanilla Ice made short work of both Abdul and Iggy yikes jotaro's crew is lucky they didn't encounter this guy early on as we don't think they would have survived a surprise attack number nine taster Fate Zero as far as first impressions go ripping a chance of pieces via demonic tendrils is certainly one way of setting yourself up as the series is resident monster um while the majority of the Masters and servants in the fourth Holy Grail War aren't exactly Saints Caster is on a whole other level of diabolical not only are his mannerisms hulking size and general guys right out of a Guillermo del Toro film but there's also the fun fact he derives extreme pleasure from giving his victims a moment of Hope before purging them what a delightful chapsushi Demon Slayer the master of all demon kind muzan is the worst kind of Boss given that not only is he insanely strong he has the shortest tempers and a tendency to waste his own subordinates if they fail him it's just kind of an all around you'd ever say to his face even when disguising himself as a woman or child muzan's control over his brood is so intense that he can bring down something as absurdly strong as an upper moon with just a temper tantrum foreign [Music] you can't help but be on edge whenever this guy makes an appearance as you never know just what will set him off and subsequently cause yet another Bloodbath [Music] Ashi number seven goto parasite the Maxim in a series filled with body snatching aliens that can turn their human hosts into walking weapons it takes a special kind of creature to stand out from the crowd that's where goto comes in as a being hosting multiple parasites within his body goto is not only the apex predator but also the most sadistic among his people [Music] preying on humans for sport as opposed to sustenance he managed to rack up quite the body count during his short life nearly putting protagonist shinichi in the ground on multiple occasions [Music] even armed with someone like migi we're not sure how shinichi had the stomach to stand up to something as imposing as this Beast number six Orochimaru Naruto series before the likes of the Akatsuki matara and kaguya this Serpentine ninja stood as the Pinnacle of villainy forever seeking new chakra as well as a desire to bring down the hidden Leaf Village Orochimaru had no problem using deception torture and manipulation to achieve his goals foreign that when all that fails he's got an excessive amount of snake-based Jutsu he can bust out at any given moment and yes all of them are grotesque he may be chilling as more of a reformed bad guy these days but during his Heyday Orochimaru had no equal [Music] ity number five Johann lieberts monster just goes to show that you don't need to have a supernatural Affinity in order to qualify as a horrifying anime villain I was supposed you're the one who resurrected me doctor Johan is about as human as you can get which is what makes him so freaking scary and what do you think johann's goal was you want to know what he told me he said he wanted to be the last person left in this world he is a master manipulator completely without morality and devilishly smart to the point that he was actually recruited as a potential candidate to become Hitler 2.0 imagine if a man like Hitler was able to take things as far as he did Johan could do more not that it did the much good when he slaughtered them all of course the greatest weapon that he has at his disposal is his persuasiveness just one conversation and numerous civilians have found themselves taking their own lives or the lives of those they love why because Johan asked them to well Richard how about a drink number four God Hand berserk turns out that God exists unfortunately for Humanity God is actually a set of demonic deities who take great pleasure in screwing over the populace in the worst ways possible in this our final chapter our final destination the end of days draw near for our sacred children as the four strongest Apostles in existence the God Hand manipulate Mankind through Temptations as well as sending their own monstrous forces to cause Havoc let us begin the chant of offering Stray From the Path and you will not be granted the black wings that will carry on to the heavens we were given a snapshot of their cruelty during the events of the eclipse wherein they brought Griffith into their ranks in exchange for him sacrificing the band of the hawk the last thing you want is these guys to answer your prayers and when his dream is over and you finally awaken you will join us in our never-ending number three Erin Yeager Attack on Titan that's right we're going there well his motivations are born from love and Desperation Aaron's choice to unleash the rumbling upon the world allows him to occupy the roles of both tragic hero and Despicable Villain at the same time foreign in order to ensure no one will bring harm to Paradise Island ever again Aaron sets more colossal Titans than we can count to stump out all life from Beyond their borders leading to the genocide of countless lives all the while taking the form of the Monstrous founding Titan to oversee his goal to completion good stuff turns out the price for Freedom was astronomical and Aaron was more than willing to pay it [Music] number two gluttony Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood the homunculi are a nasty bunch to begin with however the one we'd hate to encounter down a dark alley would without a doubt be this blob of Flesh [Music] mainly because Equity is alive without question foreign an experiment created by father in order to replicate the Gate of Truth gluttony's stomach is its own plane of reality serving as a prison to those that remain undigested if that wasn't chilling enough just wait until you see what he looks like when he goes on the offense and if that's not nightmare fuel enough for you we kindly refer you
