Best Manga/Anime Villain Design Tournament Finals

[Devilbat]

😭 bleach gang just people running in bath robes

Not really? But to each their own, if you don't like Kubo's art that much it's all right!

Pain: was ahead of his times

Cell: okay, but I don't think he is super unique. metamorphing aliens existed way before

Doflamingo: not very innovative, but fucking clean a.f. and surely one of Oda's magnum opus in villain designs and powers

I am fine with this either going to Pain or Doflamingo.

But I must say across many series...there are for sure better villain designs out there.

Yeah. Sadly the best designs lost for some reason, and the finale is legit mid. I probably liked R3 and semi-finals the most. None of the finalists are my 1st or even 2nd pick and I am super disappointed in the winner. Oh well.

At least this tournament reminded me of how GOATed Kubo's art is, and in my eyes this dude is a winner.

Well to be fair I don't really like bleach in general

I agree, it should have been a Bleach finale (Grimmjow vs Ulquiorra)

even their names have better designs than all the others lol

Wow, that's a first! You usually give relatively high ratings to most of things you watch.

Yeah, or it could've been Hisoka vs Chrollo, also great designs and rivalry.

Oh well, since @Light D Lamperouge says we're all under impression that the voting still goes one, guess Aizen already won

For the most part but there's a handful of shows that just dont do it for me

Bleach
Naruto
Breaking Bad
Walking Dead


All shows I couldn't get into

It's been over ever since Aizen's name showed up in the entries.

Bleach

Very fun.

Naruto

Amazing. Better than One Piece.

Breaking Bad
Walking Dead

Overrated. Big W here.

 

[Light D Lamperouge]

Obviously no bias involved

but Undertaker should have won ngl

 

[MUUGEN]

Cooler still the best designed vilian in dbz then Janemba

 

[MUUGEN]

Bojack was tough as well

Ironically, I love first half of Bleach an Naruto more than the latter parts (Pain arc was amazing and Hueco Mundo as well) and then stuck around only to see the end and some of the cool stuff like Urahara's bankai.
But I liked the world building, a lot of characters, and omg this is one of the best OST songs ever, I sometimes listen it on repeat (even though I mostly read manga, but I did watch some of Naruto's anime as well):

Breaking Bad - same. The concept is cool, the execution is decent, but I stuck somewhere on S2, and still cannot bring myself to give it another go.
Walking Dead I haven't even tried, I dislike zombie stuff and avoid it. The only exception was a manga Zombie Loan wherr zombies act normal as they are people who died, got revived, and are working off their loan to make the revival permanent.

Indeed.

Great design indeed. Ngl, I am surprised we ended up with these 3 as finalists.

Btw, @Light D Lamperouge , even though you allowed OP villains, surprisingly a lot of them performed similarly to non-OP ones. Only Doffy made it to the end. So I guess the community on this forum became more open minded!

 

[Longleg Larry]

All great designs, all defeated by children (Gohan wasn't even on the list (Yamcha was on the list))

I like how no one seemed to be sure which freiza form was in the comp, but everyone locked in on Cells final

I'm still jelly of the Doffy jacket drip

Turns out most of us critical types here aren't haters, we're actually just tsunderes. Oda got that charm over us.

Ass finalists, anyways, I’m picking Pain for this one. Deva Path in particular is the coolest Naruto villain ngl.

 

[Loki D. Terror]

Yoho is a contrarian.

Indeed.

Naruto's first arcs are amazing. It's literally banger after banger, from Land of Waves all the way to end of part 1.





I am surprised as well, thought there were characters with better designs that were out.

No Imu ? ? @Light D Lamperouge

Would've been in the finals if round 2 thread was created after chapter 1180

Most accurate to silhouette One Piece design.
