Learn more about the top five most evil characters in anime and why they earned that spot.
Hidan Uses Voodoo Jutsu (Naruto)
Hidan is among the most malevolent of the Akatsuki group. The Jashin sect, which he joined to achieve true immortality, also gave him some special Jutsu to utilize in battle. Hidan enjoys hurting himself in order to inflict greater pain on his adversaries.
Scaring them and playing with their fears by predicting their imminent destruction. This is how he killed Asuma Sarutobi, and he almost killed a few more people before Shikamaru Nara stopped him.
Demon Lord Clayman Is A Dark Puppetmaster (That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime)
Demon Lord Clayman looks good, but that’s about all you can say about him. For an Isekai antagonist, Clayman verges on the caricature. There was no way for him to make amends with Rimuru Tempest or be forgiven.
Clayman is the dictatorial type, with an attitude that treats his underlings as puppets and weapons to be used against his opponents. That’s already quite brutal, but he might take it a step further by ordering his subordinates to mutate or kill themselves in order to gain an advantage. It appears he also smacked Milim around while he had her under his control.
Szayelapporo Grantz Treats Torture Like A Game (Bleach)
It’s possible that Aizen’s 8th Espada, Szayelaporro Grantz, isn’t his most potent minion. However, he stands out as the cruelest of the bunch. He is a ruthless weapons designer and scientist who sees everyone as a potential subject for research.
Szayelaporro plans to exploit the abilities of his freed form in combat to trap his enemies and slowly poison them using a voodoo doll. He made sure Renji and Uryu were tortured to the point of near death. What a sick joke that was, and he enjoyed it.
Cioccolata Drove His Patients Over The Edge (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure)
Cioccolata used to be a surgeon, but he never took the Hippocratic Oath seriously. To the point of suicide, he would often use brutal words and psychological attacks on his elderly victims. Causing his unfortunate victims to despair to the point of suicide at his hands.
That is horrifying on its own, and Cioccolata wasn’t even finished yet. After converting to Stand use, he helped spread mold and claimed many lives while fighting Giorno’s organization using his lethal Stand, Green Day. If he hadn’t been stopped, he might have gone on to kill even more innocent people.
