Black Wizard Zeref Dragneel First, as a child he lost his parents and younger brother to the dragons attacking. The earliest thing Zeref did was start researching a method to resurrect his brother. He came up with many theories about restoring life that brought him into the academy that allowed him to conduct his research for the benefit of humanity. He had come up with many methods to help, including creating a gate to allow people to travel to the future, which was enacted by other mages. When the teachers found out that he was still researching methods of bringing his brother back to life when he was close to a breakthrough. When he made his attempt, he ended up getting cursed with immortality but with the added punishment that he couldn’t actually care for anything else, or the curse would kill all life around him like an instant plague. Zeref then started creating the Etherious, demons that were specifically designed to be able to kill him as a means of finally ending his eternity of anguish that he had suffering from for the 400 years when he was first introduced. This is where Zeref finally culminated his research and creation of demons to resurrect his brother, Natsu, as his final and most powerful demon, E. N. D., or Etherious Natsu Dragneel, with the final mission to kill him. After he had sent Natsu to the future along with the other dragon slayers of the time with the instructions to open the gate at a specific date, he established the kingdom of Alvarez to assist in a second endeavor to protect the earth from the dragon of destruction, Acnologia. Roughly 300 years after being cursed, Zeref found someone else who was bestowed on with the same curse, Mavis Vermillion, and this was after he had taught basic magic to Mavis and her 3 companions, Yuri Dreyar, Precht Gaebolg and Warrod Sequen 11 years prior. In a night of passion, the curse ended up placing Mavis in a comatose state for a century. Leading Zeref to only seek out his own death to truly end his misery. The night of passion ended up with Mavis giving birth to a son, August, who not only had Zeref known nothing about, but, even if he had, he wouldn’t have been able to raise him in any way lest he risk the curse ripping away his life like so many others. At first, all Zeref wanted was his brother back, and then all he wished for was to end his cursed existence of immortality and death. Can anyone truly blame a man who had lost his family and simply wanted one of them back, and then when he tried to bring them back, he was cursed for over 400 years without being allowed to care for anything if he wanted them to live? A person can only live in solitude for so long before they lose their sanity.

I don’t like villains. Sometimes I hate them, but when you learn about their tragic backstories and their reasons for turning to the dark side, you can’t help but feel sorry for them. We still don’t like them, but that doesn’t mean we don’t pity them.

[@ishidacoolp]

I actually like villains more than heroes. They tend to be more interesting and entertaining most the time, esp. when done with a good backstory. Sometimes heroes tend to be more generic and too righteous. Villains are more relatable I think because tend made bad choices. And we all have had made those before. Plus they make us question our morality. I still like heroes too though. (Especially anti-heroes.)

[@afro_princess1671]

I love villains. They r like real live people, mostly. The heroes r fake and fiction. Hard to relate to.

[@jeuryrabassa4724]

That's because some villains actually have their own understandable, personal and justifiable reasons on what they're thinking and doing. Which makes them into who and what they truly are. Just because they're evil, It doesn't really mean they're truly evil.

To sum up your list, characters that lost everything they cared in a horrible way and characters that were thinking about the big picture.

[@jameslough6329]

What's really fascinating about Scar's character is that he himself believes that he doesn't deserve forgiveness. He knows that he has turned his back on the ways of his religion through his actions. He also states in the show that he knows Winry is completely justified in hating him and wanting to take revenge for what happened to her parents.

Gyutaro and Daki were the only lucky demons to defeat the hell they were sent to. They fully managed to reincarnate into the modern world although with some memories left behind. Demons break the cycle of reincarnation once they enter hell meaning that they stop reincarnating but gyutaro and Daki beat the odds and managed to come back to life. They reincarnated as older high school students with gyutaro with a slight facial scar he got from an accident and Daki became a Beauty but has an attitude. Both do not remember their past as homeless children though. Fortunately this incarnation they are still brother and sister but are better off financially and with parents to reign in their behavior. They actually were born in the same pleasure district where they were beheaded last time yet in a much better place. That district was cleaned up after the fire according to history and the entire area was just turned into another district but without the houses of ill repute and is currently just another neighborhood within Tokyo although it’s reputation is still around.

Gyutaro and Dabi to me felt relatable. There's a reason Gyutaro is ny favorite Demon Slyer villain. First they treated Gyutaro like scam just because in their eyes he was born ugly and then later tried to false his teenage sister (probably 13 years at the time) into a brothel to sleep with middle aged men where she was even probably raped, I would have done the same probably no question.

Some slight issues.... Bakura was not possessed by the spirits of Kul-Elna, they actually manifested as his Earthbound Diabound monster he could control. He was, however, under the influence of Zorc Necrophades. Shogo Makashima was a lot more subtle and nuanced than "take down the Sibyl system for the lulz and people are trapped in it". He was well versed in a lot of authors and lore, from Shakespear to Orwell to Huxley. What he wanted was to "see the splendour of human souls", as he postulated that the humans in Japanese society were stagnating and even regressing in evolution. That is why he chose his followers/ peers closely as he did- like his cyborg peer than hunted people like foxes, and discarded them when they ceased to be original or creative (the daughter of the mass murderer who preserved bodies in the form of artwork who was only imitating others work and not being original).

I believe Eren was justified as much as Zeke, if not more. He was forced to watch his mom get eaten only to find out years later that he was involuntarily the cause of his dad's death too. Then he finds out that not only are his people being subjugated, but they're actively being called devils and treated like animals because of the actions of a tyrannical warlord 2000 years in the past. The rumbling was the only path that had the Eldians living without fear of being wiped out. Did Eren want to find a more peaceful solution? Yes. Was he able to? No. He chose to start the rumbling because it was the only option he had. He became the demon the world feared, and they had no one to blame for that but themselves.

But I do find it amazing how villains with seemingly the same goal (mass murder) like Suguru and Light are portraied so differently. Suguru went through emotinoal trauma, he had his entire ideology turned around by factors and situations he couldn't control. I do understand where he's coming from. But light is just a teenager with a god complex who didn't think 5 minutes ahead, in all honesty.

Heroes are made from the actions of villains. If one innocent life is murdered or an innumerable number, each villain is just as bad as the entirety. No matter the cause of a villain’s reasoning to have remade themselves, they intend to see their goal come to pass. Uniquely motivated heroes have to match the ruthless evil of villains in hopes to win. From the lowest to the most powerful villain they are the same in judgment. Anime and other literary entertainment is only a warning for the real world.

[@MartinAmdor]

Pity?! For the likes of Gendo?! Don't make me laugh! I won't speak for others, but I would HAPPILY subeject him to a long and excruciatingly painful end! And that's if I'm feeling generous enough to let him die. Monsters like him deserve only damnation. Nothing more. As for the others, some I actually agree with, while others, no. Just no.

[@AbyssWalker99X]

Justifiable villains list without zamasu?well I guess he’s too divine to be understood by mere mortals 😆

[@Iikkxx35567]

Fr tho

[@Uwudoowoo]

Geto was never wrong. I would’ve helped him.

[@DuelTwilightChaser]

You used Pain but id argue Kaguya was a better fit. She didn't even want to kill people just give them their perfect lives. And she only did so after being betrayed. Hell she was even willing to get dicked down by humans she trusted them so much and instead of wanting them all dead she wanted to give them their perfect lives. She should be on this list.

[@ArnulfoSalgado]

Kaguya was the only good Otsutsuki, funny enough

[@ReadinRed]

Actually Kaguya wanted to use the trees power deaths caused by its drain on planet notwithstanding to "prove" herself equal to the others of her race. Yet Id argue the peter rabbit and staying out of Mr Mcgreggers garden debate. Better not to do ur plan and stay away from where u are not wanted

[@shezmu6928]

Kaguya actually wanted to use the power of the tree to save herself from Momoshiki which was hunting her as we discovered im Boruto. She would sacrifice the whole world to be stronger.

[@thegameking3931]

@@ArnulfoSalgado if every villain have some kind of sad or sympathetic backstory than it mostly ruin it. It's good other otsutsuki villain are just evil

[@DuelTwilightChaser]

@@ReadinRed that was before she fell in love with the people of the planet.

[@johnninnin]

Wow I was not expecting dororo aka the best anime of all time to be on this list nope !

[@Lordex13]

Stein from BNH had one of the most original skills/ability from all animes!

Who's out here justifying Zeke? He sold out his own parents!

[@Plotamor]

Can we put Eren Yeager on this list

[@kleine.5438]

The only ones that I agree with cuz I've actually watch the shows are, dragon Ball z super jiren, Yu-Gi-Oh King thief bakura, Naruto Shippuden pain, Yu Yu Hakusho shinobu sensei and Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood scar.

[@axelanchante3950]

For me Pain and Shishio should have been top 5 at least, and where´s Zamasu from DB Super??

[@kakarotvegeta5095]

my two favorites are Scar and Shinobu Sensui.

[@kirito5866]

Lelouch vi Britannia?

[@Jubee12]

The only thing this video got wrong was putting Jiren on the list of villains when he actually isn’t

[@thegameking3931]

Yeah he was just an opponent like others in tournament of power he is only main antagonist of the series only who is opposed to protagonist goku. Even it is said first villain in manga dbs was Moro

[@maybenaught]

I've been wondering for a while why he pronounces -sui "swee" names as if thet were -suei "sway".
