these are some of the greatest and most
villainous minds that anime has to offer
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
smartest anime series villains humans
are mine and I really don’t like to
share
for this list we considered evil anime
characters that are way too brilliant
for their own good also we do get into
some minor spoiler territory so spoiler
alert face it you don’t fight the nature
of things in win number 10
sir crocodile one piece shall I you
needn’t waste your time on these
creatures he’s one of the most evil
pirates to ever roam the high seas an
imposing confident and terrifying man
with just the type of battle scars you’d
expect on a body of his caliber
crocodile can cause a lot of damage
considering he only has one hand you
bulked up to challenge me I’m flattered
but what good is victory if you’re not
around to enjoy it and he’s not just
brute strength you have to be pretty
intelligent and somewhat merciless to
run a large criminal organization like
baroque works as he used to do let alone
rule an entire kingdom the
longest-running antagonist in the series
crocodile is a force to be reckoned with
in body and mind perhaps you’d like to
die as well Nico Robin hey he was even
able to defeat our beloved hero Luffy
and if you’re all going to die anyway I
don’t have to bother killing you myself
right number 9 Orochimaru the Naruto
franchise
considered one of the most illustrious
shinobi Orochimaru has an interesting
goal he wants to become immortal so he
can live many lives and learn everything
there is to know about the world there’s
no question he’s intriguing finally a
quest for knowledge or not Orochimaru
later absconded from the Konoha clan in
order to avoid facing the consequences
of his unscrupulous experiments on
villagers and that immortality thing may
be working for him because Orochimaru
has apparently died on multiple
occasions but keeps reappearing we might
as well have a little fun together
serving as a main antagonist throughout
the series Otto Chamorro consistently
clashes with our heroes
number eight Griffith berserk you seem
quite able though you were beaten much
more soundly than I in a world that
explores the fundamental strengths and
flaws of humanity a figure is necessary
who’s willing to make the hard decisions
you have a choice admit defeat or I’ll
be forced to dislocate your shoulder the
head and creator of the band of the hawk
mercenary group Griffith has remained
steadfast in his ambition to one day
become ruler of his own empire using his
smarts and charisma to manipulate others
into helping him who knows is there a
difference and while he is the main
antagonist of the series he’s not
necessarily evil we could always suspend
this duel until you’ve recovered
completely if you’d rather but don’t get
us wrong he is willing to sacrifice
anything or anyone to satisfy his
ambition
number seven any lay on heart attack on
Titan look Marlowe you’ve upset her
she’s antisocial not upset what kind of
a person could actually make a world
ravaged by human eating Titans worse you
don’t know what it is to be an ordinary
girl crippled with fear how about a
woman who can defeat the resistance from
the inside out Annie like our hero Eren
can transform into a Titan at will
detached and private she was able to
infiltrate the military and serve as a
spy for the majority of the series
undetected while still acting as a major
threat to the resistance is that so bad
who she works for is unknown but we can
only predict they are worse than she is
number six super boo also known as majin
buu evil the Dragon Ball Z franchise the
Dragon Ball universe has sure had its
fair share of intelligent and ruthless
villains I found you finally the
combination of evil boo and good boo
super boo has all of the traits to fit
the bill which makes sense seeing as how
he’s created by evil boo eating the
chocolate form of good boo combining the
powers of both characters super boo has
an incredibly increased intellect and
power plus he’s prone to fits of intense
rage
this reveals one of his hidden powers he
can rip a hole through space-time if
he’s angry enough
this gives him freewill to pretty much
do what he pleases
number five the major the helsing
franchise all is fair gentlemen the
experiment can move ahead you have to be
pretty evil to be handpicked by Adolf
Hitler like any Nazi SS officer ever see
in a United Kingdom and Europe that is
crawling with vampires the major is
tasked by the top Nazi with refining a
synthetic method of vampires ation in
order to create the ultimate army
I intend to imbibe a policy in for the
pleasure of war definitely not a guy you
want to cross this war monger can
personally be held accountable for over
three million deaths by series end a
skilled speaker a tactical wizard and
practically immortal to boot the major
has no regard for life and will give up
his own
or better yet yours to carry out his
mission I planted the seeds of this war
half a century ago now show me what has
blossom
number four naraku inuyasha even in the
demon realm a half-human can be a bigger
threat than a full demon Naraku is known
as a spider Han Yeo which is a half
human and half evil spirit this castle
in this body hide my true identity
hell-bent on eliminating his half human
self to become even stronger naraku
believes that obtaining all of the
pieces of the shikon no tama a cursed
jewel will allow him to achieve his
lofty goal it seems you were quite
weakened practically super-powered with
abilities like master manipulation at
his disposal Naraku is brilliant
even being fully responsible for the
seal placed on the half-demon Inuyasha I
understand you were a great demon when
you were alive I’m quite impressed and
surprised you still have the power to
fight me off nothing will stand in the
way of naraku z’ goals not even our
hero’s new Yasha your times finally
common number three
Johann liebert monster well Wow how’s
the global domination coming along
Johann liebert is the perfect example of
a monster the big secret to breaking the
rules is to make it look as though
you’re following them and though the
character is shrouded in mystery here’s
what we do know he was born in the 1970s
as a result of a genetic experiment the
goal of which was to develop a child who
had a high intellect a perfect
appearance and could essentially lead
the human race I’ve been trying to get
in touch with you but to no avail so I
figured I’d drop by some could say they
succeeded but that is definitely
debatable
an example of an Antichrist figure with
the personality of a serial killer
Johann lives up to this series name oh
it’s a testament you’re absolutely right
while little is still known about him
it’s best to stay out of his way would
you excuse me please number two father
Full Metal Alchemist and Full Metal
Alchemist Brotherhood have you mistaken
me for someone else
the leader and creator of the homunculus
or artificially created humans in the
world of Full Metal Alchemist
father is the overall series antagonist
of the manga and Brotherhood series was
that so so where has he been spending
his time originally just a powerful
entity in a flask once father takes his
physical form he is a force like no
other with his manipulative mind
constantly toiling to achieve his goals
broken anymore
over confident that his plans will work
father is for all intents and purposes
immortal and seeks only the truth he
quickly becomes the most fearsome enemy
the Elric brothers must defeat and
believe us that is no easy task
this is a waste of time before we unveil
our top pick here are some honorable
mentions as rumors spread real
alchemists who search for stone all
their lives will come to me and then
Medusa
you’re free to go these innocent little
birds keep you company and give you a
small reason to hope don’t they
too bad your feelings have betrayed them
number one
Light Yagami Death Note notebook of
death sometimes it’s hard to hold the
power to kill people in the palm of your
hand that is unless your Light Yagami
the human whose name is written in this
notebook shall die in this fictional
world light obtains a shinigamis Death
Note which bestows upon him the power to
kill anyone within certain guidelines of
course wait on the off chance someone
really dies would that make me a
murderer though he claims to be ridding
the world of evil light becomes a
straight-up serial killer plain and
simple
cold and calculating he tries to keep
many steps ahead of his rival l and
nearly succeeds due to his brilliance it
all comes down to a choice would I
prefer to be executed or deal with a
little house fire well you know what
they say absolute power corrupts
absolutely this is how it should be
it’s perfect everything is going just
like I planned
