For me, it’s Light Yagami (Death Note).
Golgo 13, the soulless hitman.

Ataru Moroboshii from Urusei Yatsura.
Super lecher, everything he does is in the name of lechery and leering at girls.
IRL he’d probably be convicted of rape and chemically castrated.

Talentless Nana.
At the end of the day, she’s murdering her classmates.

Walter White, of course. Great intentions (initially), genius IQ, not cartoonishly evil or two-dimensional, but unrepentantly bad. Everyone who comes into contact with him is the worse for it, eventually…

I accept this. Walt, as we all know, is an anime protagonist.

All the bad things that happen are jesse’s fault. Walt is just a nice old school teacher.

Tanya from Saga of Tanya the Evil deserves a nomination.
Let me know if I’m using the labels incorrectly, but this is a textbook example of how libertarians end up aligning with fascists.
VivianRixia@piefed.social 18 hours ago I like Ainz from Overlord because he has a heart for the people close to him and he gets really excited and supportive of people that catch his interest, like Enri from the small village near his stronghold. Also, his idiocy is entertaining. He is a complete monster outside of that though. His actions are not justified and punishment is severe for anyone that slights him.

Just dont read the lightnovels, I heard it gets much more violent there, apparently the anime toned down a lot of suffering they inflict
- VivianRixia@piefed.social 15 hours ago
I can see that and appreciate the toning down of it. I don’t need to see the details of the awful things they do to their enemies.

Light started out with such good intentions though. Imagine if he existed now, and had access to the Trump-Epstein files… I’m just saying.
missingno@fedia.io 19 hours ago If you think Light's intentions were ever good, I think you kinda missed the point of the show. His very first targets were only petty criminals, the fact that he didn't set his sights on real monsters showed that he always had a warped sense of justice even from the beginning.

some people really didnt pay attention to that stort, dude literally squeels about placing himself as god of the world after using the book once. batshit insane from the getgo

off-topic; politics
The conspiracy theorist in me says that Light won’t have as much of an impact as one of expect. People like Trump and Epstein are just the face / puppets of the cabal. See how quickly they got rid of Epstein the moment he outlived his usefulness and became more of a liability. The real villains running the show would never reveal their names / faces.

Just go after every C-suite exec of Fortune-500 companies or has more than a billion dollars. You could find enough info on nearly all of them, and you’ll get >90% of the problem

Migi from Parasyte.
Not evil for evil’s sake, but his non-human perspective and survival instinct makes him suggest evil acts to his host, Shinichi.
