FIRST FIGHT

Johan Liebert from Monster
Johan Liebert is the titular monster of the series. He is the main antagonist of the entire manga.
At first glance, one would describe Johan as a well-mannered, charismatic, and compassionate yet somewhat reserved young man who possesses a plethora of favourable traits and can easily overwhelm individuals with his seemingly flawless nature, as seen with Hans, who describes him as being not of this world. This meticulously crafted facade makes it easy for him to make new allies and manipulate them into doing various deeds for him through the influence of his supposed friendship and good will. With such skill in creating this sense of perfection and pureness, Johan hides his true motives with ease.

Within this contrived exterior, however, Johan callously delivers destruction and suffering to those who happen to fall prey to his schemes. Even before his tenure at Kinderheim 511, Johan still exhibits psychopathic tendencies. For instance, most of his murders, both in childhood and adulthood, have been premeditated and calculated.

Johan often shows a complete disregard for life by pointing to his forehead, inviting Dr. Kenzo Tenma to shoot him.

Many of Johan's beliefs run consistent with nihilism, as he does not see any meaning to life. He claims, "Most of this universe is 'death' anyway," and that to the universe, "most lives are just specks in a corner of the earth, gone in a flash.



Johan also has a tendency to make his victims experience the worst possible loss and suffering rather than actually killing them himself; this experience often leads to the victims killing themselves, however. Helmut Wolf is a prime example of this; instead of simply being killed, Wolf is forced to watch as all of his close relatives and acquaintances die, one after another, all so he can feel what Johan felt, solitude.

What is so frightening about Johan is that he possesses this terrifying ability to turn people into monsters using just his words. For instance, he could turn them into serial killers without even lifting a finger. The usage of his manipulative tactics exposes the true nature of humans and using this, he corrupts their souls. In a way, he exposes humanity in its worst image, portraying them as nothing but psychotic killers. Furthermore, these tactics were displayed from an early age, where he was the cause of a tragic massacre at his orphanage, 511 Kinderheim. On that occasion he used stories in order to convince the children that were there with him to murder the staff and then murder each other whilst he was sitting on his throne and observing all of it. During the massacre in Kinderheim 511 fifty children and instructors were in a chaotic battle, all of them fighting and killing. Whilst all of this is happening, Johan just sits on a throne and watches as the chaos unfolds and the whole orphanage becomes engulfed in flames .



He is a genius-level mastermind with the goal of being the only one standing, although that changes later in the series.

Johan uses his wits to commit his evil with no help from supernatural elements at all. Just with his manipulative tactics, intelligence and the knowledge of how the human mind can be corrupted. Then he executes his plan, creating monsters out of nothing except carefully chosen words. That's what makes him genuinely horrifying. The scary thing about the way this character is portrayed is that a person like this could actually exist in real life, there could be someone out there like Johan in this world. The realism this character expresses throughout the anime really makes you think about the possibility that there could be a person like this out there, which is what makes him that much scarier.



Johan's experiences as a child could make one wonder if Johan is truly THE monster or was he shaped that way by the people around him. In order not to spoil much, I will briefly go through them. Johan was experimented upon and was being raised as the new Hitler by the government. . Kinderheim 511, where Johan was sent, was a horrid place where children were treated like criminals and experimented on in an attempt by the government to create perfect soldiers. Johan's mentors had always nurtured Johan's skill for manipulating others with no conscience. However, when confronted, they claimed that Johan was already a "monster" when he first came to the orphanage.



VS

Arthas, the Lich King - Warcraft series
Arthas Menethil, once a Paladin, heir to the throne of Lordaeron, could not save his people from the Scourge and its Plague. Led to despair and hatred, he turned into a Champion for the Lich King, the master of the Scourge. He helped in the destruction of his former home and the destruction and killing of the sun elves of Quel'Thalas. He later became one with the Lich King himself. A master of death, he profaned the cycle countless times, bringing back fallen champions to fuel his armies. Kingdoms shattered, lives and deaths ruined. There must ALWAYS be a Lich King!


SECOND FIGHT

Meruem
Meruem is the most powerful offspring of the Queen and is also known as the King of the Chimera Ants. In the beginning, he is a cold-blooded tyrant whose motives are world domination and the eradication of humans, but later he meets a little human girl, Kumogi, who slowly starts changing him to the point where he becomes humanized. He goes from a merciless monster to a person who tries to compromise with his human enemies in order to find a balance between humans and Ants.

VS

Scar from Lion King
Ok, here's my synopsis on why I think Scar is the best villain.

First of all, he's very charismatic. He manage to manipulate Simba to listen to him and have an army of hyenas working under him. He calculated his plan accordingly. He have strong pride and unlike many other villains, his plan's actually successful. Secondly, his motivation of greed to take the throne from his brother is very relatable. His jealously is what drives him to become what he is now. He's despicable and willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his dream. That's what makes Scar a great villain. Good voice actor, great design and great desire.

I liked him because of all the above and his song "Be Prepared" is very good. It explains how well-written Scar is. My favorite scene is when Scar reigned to the throne after the death of Mufasa.


THIRD FIGHT

Light Yagami
Light Yagami is such a great villain due to how detailed and human his development is. Just like how real people will tend to justify their decisions no matter how bad, so does Light. In his head he is being heroic, despite the terror he causes. All of the characteristics that made him a model citizen, turned into assets to his evil. His intelligence allowed him to plot out the most intricate crimes, his charisma made it easy for him to deceive characters into giving up their names, and most decisively, the arrogance that can come with being a model student (perfect grades, friends, etc.), turned into the god complex that allowed him to justify so many murders. Despite this, because you follow his development so closely and his reason for committing his crimes is so consistent and thought out, it is hard not to find yourself rooting for him at times.

Couldn't find my favorite scene, but here is a good one.

One of Light's planned out crimes:

VS

Dio Brando from JoJo
Dio Brando, started out as a kid in the slums who had great ambitions to become rich no matter what it took. He managed to abuse Jonathan Joestar's, the protagonist's, father's kindness and became adopted into the Joestar family. He repayed his kindness with coldblooded schemeing and meticulous planning to put Jonathan as far down as possible while bringing himself as high up as possible. However as they grew older Jonathan quickly began to surpass dio in physical prowess and other feats. One thing leads to another, and while Dio's intent was to sabotage Jonathan, he discovered that a certain stone mask turned a man into a man into what would later be discovered to be a vampire.
Dio decided to use the mask to turn himself into a vampire, gaining eternal life and power at the exchange of never being able to bask in the sunlight ever again.

He is eventually defeated by Jonathan Joestar, or at least so they thought. Untill he shows up again 100 years later only to terrorize the Joestar family bloodline yet again for his own goals and purposes.

He's an asshole, but he has charisma to the max. He's a cheeky bastard that you love to hate.


FOURTH FIGHT

Loki - MCU
Loki is the God of Mischief a master of magic and deceit. He is a Frost Giant, but was adopted by Odin and raised as the Prince of Asgard alongside Thor, his adoptive brother. Loki was ambitious and wanted to step out of Thor's shadows by becoming King of Asgard.

However, Thor was crowned king. Enraged with jealousy, Loki sabotages the ceremony and manipulates Thor causing him to be exiled from Asgard. It was also then that Loki found out he was not Odin's biological son and he realized that everything he worked for when he was younger was all in vain. Odin would always favour Thor.

This lead Loki to resent Odin and Thor and when Thor returned to Asgard to reclaim the throne, Loki fought him but ultimately lost. Deciding that he no longer wanted to be on Asgard anymore, Loki allowed himself to fall off the Bifrost and into a wormhole.

Loki as a character is charismatic, fun, mysterious and he singlehandedly carried Thor 2.

VS


Aizen from Bleach
- Aizen is the embodiment of charisma, and a full time troll who casually deceived the entirety of the spiritual world and his own people, while parading around with a kind-hearted persona. He lead a double life for hundreds of years, biding his time until he finally had the necessary preparation required to fuck them all over. A very patient, hardworking and a driven man.

- He's an extremely meticulous individual who ohestrated the downfall of an ancient natural order, planned the entire life out of the mc just so he could one day meet him in battle for a few moments of amusement, and decided to shake the very foundation of the world he resides in because "A winner has to speak not of the world as it is, but of the world as it should be" Has a God complex as with most villains but with a "noble end goal"

- His character is probably the only shining light within the bleach verse, which is especially true once you get to the end game where his presence alone makes the clusterfuck of story bearable. (This is after he's been defeated by mc plot amour. Still never gets fully "redeemed" or turned into a good guy cliche. Still has his own goals even at the end).

- In short, he's the ๐Ÿ.



Out of the countless troll moments we're given for Aizen in the Bleach series, this one definitely hits the hardest, and is by far the most mentally scarring.

While his peers are trying their hardest to stop Aizen from releasing his op ass powers in the form of complete hypnosis, he allows them enjoy a brief moment of respite and happiness (landing a "critical hit") before he brutally shuts them all down by revealing to them that it was just a fantasy in thier heads, and the one they had just beat down on and impaled, was in-fact one of their very own, all the while the hypnosis that they've hoped to shut down or deny activating was in effect right from the start.

This moment is then swiftly followed by a demonstration of absolute monstrous power.



In the end, he doesn't really require the op powers of hypnosis that they're all so extremely wary of to strike them all down in one simple blow.

For all his craftiness, all his planning, and all his powers of manipulation and deception, at the end of the day he's just monstrously strong.

He trolls the protagonists and good guys at every turn, while also trolling the entire fandom.

YOU HAVE 4 VOTES AND 24 HOURS TO DECIDE.
