It’s probably more usual to despise villains than heroes, yet bad guys can’t be loathed forever. The top 5 anime antagonists are listed below.
Bertholdt Hoover (Attack On Titan)

The Colossal Titan was the series’s first major nemesis and was thought to be the last. Bertholdt Hoover, its user, fought against Paradis while hidden deep inside the Scouts’ ranks as a Marleyan Warrior.
Bertholdt is one of the most interesting antagonists because of his exciting battles and daring escapes. He also fits the profile of an antagonist better than, say, Reiner or Eren, who have both served as heroes in the plot.
Marik (Yu-Gi-Oh!)

Marik Ishtar was an individual corrupted by the evil spirit housed in the Millennium Rod. As thus, he became an insidious embodiment of everything Yu-Gi-Oh! Marik was a sadistic murderer who took pleasure in tormenting his victims.
As an illustration, he put Mai Valentine in a cell that slowly became overrun by insects. She felt helpless as she watched her pals have fun without her. Marik is awesome because he shows the sinister potential of a modern technology.
Hisoka Morrow (Hunter X Hunter)

The shadowy essence of a hunter was personified in Hisoka. He wanted to find someone who could give him a tough battle and push him to his limits. On the other hand, he lacked empathy in this regard and was frequently weird to Gon during Hunter x Hunter.
However, Hisoka is a cool character because of a wide variety of factors. He not only allied with the Zoldycks but also defeated Gon multiple times. Because of this, his bouts never failed to provide thrilling action.
All For One (My Hero Academia)

My Hero Academia couldn’t have ended with a better adversary than All For One. Totally motivated by self-interest and far more ancient than everybody else in the show. Even from the depths of Tartarus, he was able to sow discord in Japan.
As the new One For All, Deku must take on All For One just like his predecessors Nana and Toshinori did. Like his forefathers, Izuku must ensure that the villain does not threaten future generations. All For One, on the other hand, is using Tomura’s younger, stronger physique and has an endless supply of stolen peculiarities to his advantage.
Akaza (Demon Slayer)

One of the best and most interesting antagonists in anime is Akaza. His unique appearance, ferocious fighting style, and contagious love for bloody rivalries and battle set him apart. Fans of Demon Slayer can’t wait to see him again, perhaps in a showdown with Tanjiro.
