Have you ever found yourself captivated by the journey of an anime character, as the¬ir story seems to reflect your own reality? Anime goes beyond its visual appeal and intricate plotlines; it beautifully mirrors the diverse experiences of humanity. 1. The Essence of Anime: Character Development Anime embodies the essence of personal growth, setting it apart from other forms of storytelling.

Top 10 most iconic villains in anime


anime villains are necessary for any mainstream action/thriller/sci-fi anime. one would even say an anime without the right kind of villain won't be good enough. the villains affect how the animes' storyline goes, they also greatly affect the main characters and mostly exist based on conflicting ideologies. 
  in this post, we will be looking at 10 anime villains who greatly affect their storyline or the chapter based on what we've seen so far. 
I'll also clarify that this is not a post about the top 10 strongest/fastest/smartest anime villains. I think 🤔  it's right to use the term iconic villains because that would properly encompass the post. 
  without further ado 
THE TOP 10 MOST ICONIC ANIME VILLAINS

10. ALL FOR ONE

All for one is a man hungry for power and is willing to do whatever it takes to get it. In a world where most people have certain quirks/abilities, he possesses the ability to steal quirks... of course an evil quirk made for an evil person.
to cut the long story short, he wants to get his brother's quirk; the only quirk that can defeat him. and is willing to harm or use anyone to get it.

9. BRYAN HAWK

I really tried to remove sports from the characters listed but this guy just needs to be classified as a villain because of his characteristics. 
what does it mean to have innate power, to be born physically above others? Bryan hawk is just that: and he uses it in the world of boxing, he hardly trains and spends most of his time with women.
after Takamura's fight with wells, he came Into the changing room and provoked Takamura but when Takamura threw a punch he casually caught it and responded "it was a mere handshake" 
he not also insulted Takamura but also insulted all Japanese boxers saying that their women should sleep with him in other to breed better boxers.
hawk was dethroned and was rendered mentally unable to step into the ring. again

8. DOFLAMINGO

One piece has a high number of villains... you can expect that much from a show with over a thousand episodes. but there's one villain who stood out from the rest, at least to me. doflamingo had the typical childhood trauma story but that wasn't what made him evil. 
he is a person who deems himself superior to normal people. the donquixote family was one of the twenty royal families affiliated with the world government. 
  that wasn't even the most shocking part. even after doflamingo was persecuted as a child, hung, and beaten... as the was about to be killed he still swore to kill every one of them, and trust me he did just that. 
not only did he kill his father for renouncing his noble title he also killed his brother for working with the marines.
he took over dressrosa eight years before the start of the series. anyone who was against him was turned into toys who would work their entire lives till they eventually die while not being remembered by anyone again. he made it so that the town seemed peaceful in front but behind the scene were treacherous deeds.
he also caused a scene where he controlled the soldiers to attack and kill the citizens and appeared to stop them to that he would be recognized as the hero. 
All in all, doflamingo might be an evil entity but he still cares greatly for his kin as a pirate should. 
I recognized him as an iconic villain because I feel that not all villains should have a valid reason for their deeds. and doflamingo superiority, power, and ego go perfectly well with the entire storyline. 

7. TOUICHIROU SUZUKI

when we talk about egotistical villains this guy is in his own league. Touichirou Suzuki is the villain from mob psycho 100. after realizing his abilities he began to use them as he pleases not only was he good with his powers, but he was also strong. he went around the world defeating other espers and planning world domination not until he met Kageyama.

6. GAROU

Garou is a character from one punch man who calls himself "the hero killer" due to his view on the imbalances n what is referred to as good and evil/ hero and villain he chooses to become someone who would bring down the current system of heroes. 
Garou was not just a skilled martial artist he was the best student of silver fang. he was able to defeat all the other students with ease and even began to beat other S-class heroes. his talent was exceptional he could easily replicate any kind of martial art or movement just by seeing it once. and after becoming a demon he became far more dangerous. the best thing about Garou as a villain was the fact that he is currently the only character known to have pushed Saitama to a point where he would have to improve mid-fight. 

5. KIBUTSUJI MUZAN

muzan is a character from the anime "kimetsu no yaiba" and he is a demon that rules over other demons... kind of like a demon king by not exactly. he has absolute authority over other demons and controls them as he, pleases. the most iconic thing about muzan is not just about his power but his sheer cruelty: he is not only cruel to humans but also demons. if they so much as think a thought that is not pleasing to him, they die. it's so difficult to stay on his pleasing side. but still, his history with the demon slayers makes him a perfectly iconic villain 

4. RYO ASUKA

Ryo Asuka is a rare kind of major villain. he is a character from the anime "devil man crybaby" and he is the best friend of the main character "fudo Akira". he is the whole reason fudo got his powers in the first place. 
  the funny part is the fact that Ryo was not the villain at the beginning of the series but as he did more research he discovered that he is indeed satan. 
  his actions led to the fall out of humanity and even the battle with his friend, Akira which eventually led to him killing his friend and destroying the earth and all its inhabitants.

3. DIAVOLO

Diavolo is one of the most iconic villains in the Jojo series... at least in my opinion. 
 don't get me wrong " Jojo's bizarre adventure" is basically a spawn for villains. but Diavolo stands out because not only was his stand immensely powerful but he was also smart and cautious such that he was willing to kill his own daughter to clear his trails. 

2. MISOGI KUMAGAWA

misogi kumagawa is known to have now emotions, hope or fear. his first appearance was in medaka box abnormal. where he was supposedly standing in a pile of dead bodies. he is what one would refer to as the complete epitome of a villain. not only is he an iconic villain but he has the power to go with that character. he is basically a walking chest code. his ability is called All fiction and it allows him to do anything.

1. GRIFFITH

Griffith is the leader of the band of hawks and the closest friend and leader to guts. his actions were just too cruel but what makes him different from other villains was the amount of suffering he faced. not just anybody can be alive after facing such. one can assume that all these led him to do what he did but still, his suffering cannot justify the suffering hr caused others.

Top 10 anime string/thread users

Thread users are not usually common in animes. Though they are extremely skillful, just imagine the amount of control they have on their fingers to perform such huge feats. Thread/string has a lot of application and can be used in many different ways.   And their abilities ranges from mostrous level to normal level. Fortunately there are no normal level string users in this list. Their( string users) abilities might be a little confusing but when you get the hang of it, it will totally get you rolled up. Here are the TOP 10 STRING/THREAD USERS IN ANIME;      1. DOFLAMINGO DOFLAMINGO is one of the worst kind of villain ever encountered in anime. He simply derives joy in the suffering of others but he is still the best string user in this list.

One piece; all the Akazaya nine ranked

the akazaya 9 are the strongest samurais in the land of wano, they are the closest aide to Oden, and (at least most of them) are willing to pay their lives for his goals.       as the one piece's plot progresses we've come to understand the full extent of the abilities each akazaya 9 possesses. now that each member has been fully introduced it is now possible to know the extent of their powers. it is quite difficult to decipher the level of strength of each one of the akazaya nine because they are very similar potential that is except for the top five without further ado, here we go. 9. Raizo Raizo is a ninja known as Raizo of the mist. despite his large appearance, he is quite fast and is capable of ninjutsu. 8. Kanjuro Kanjuro is a samurai and the traitor of the akazaya nine. he possesses a devil fruit that allows him to animate his drawings or to put it simply, bring his drawings to life. think devil fruit has potential depending on the mindset of its user. Kanjuro can also

Deku's new look; a new turning point in my hero academia

Well...the manga's of my hero academia has shown us a new look at Deku. This new look has a mixture of the looks of grand Torino, stain, and obviously his dressing.  The truth is that we know that when Deku fights to protect something, he always does even at the cost of destroying his own body. As we've seen in virtually all his battles were he fights a villain and pushes his ideals non-stop.  But that has come to an end as deku fails to protect his classmates against all for one. This left him broken and torn, because he was thinking that it was his fault his classmates got severely injured but he has forgotten the fact that his classmates are also heroes and they are ready to to put their lives on the line to protect others. Anyways.....deku then, feeling a sense of defeat decided to leave U.A academy in other not to exposed others to danger.  He then becomes rogue and is now searching for all for one.

What is the strongest anime ability

there are a lot of anime characters with different kinds of abilities and there's one thing we know, and that is; these abilities can be overpowered to a great extent.  in your opinion what do you think is the greatest anime ability, super strength? super speed? time travel? Or maybe pure muscle power from gruesome workout ?  no. in my opinion the fact that an ability can be quantified with an English word means that it is not the strongest.  ok... some of you might not agree with that but hear me out. Remember stars and stripes from the anime my hero academia . she is the number one hero in the united states. but if you look at her ability, I don't think that a specific word can suit her ability. her ability is called New order and it is an ability that allowed her to set a rule onto her surroundings, allowing her to manipulate and bestow new properties onto herself and the world around her. To activate her Quirk, she had to first make physical contact with the target and sp

MOMONOSUKE’S FULL POTENTIAL

The strength rating of one piece characters can vary exponentially, there are characters who appear to be extremely weak but yet turn out to be strong like chopper, Robin, name although she uses weapons. There are also characters that were weak at first but later became strong after all luffy wasn’t exactly strong when he met Ace and Sabo, and I believe Momonosuke will spout in strength. He will be worthy of the Kozuki name and will be able to live in the path and honor in which his father has set for him.  Since Momonosuke’s transformation into his adult form the series has focused him on overcoming his fears. When Momonosuke bit Kaido, luffy told Momonosuke that now that he has bitten the king of beast what else can he be afraid of. Momonosuke will not only be strong but also brave he might even be stronger than his father in the future. Because what drove oden to become strong was curiosity but in Momonosuke’s case it will be his loyalty and sense of duty to both the land of wano an

why blue lock is the best anime of 2022

why is blue lock the best anime of 2022, I have one answer to that... tournament.  yes, tournament. blue lock has brought out a highly competitive environment for soccer.  it features a game where there will not only be competitions between each team but also between team members.  Every major character has their strength and the main character is not given some kind of godly ability that is overpowered. if you look at it, it has the same vibe as the basketball anime Kuroko no basketball and that's why people still refer to it as the best sports anime.  an anime should have a way to engage its audiences; at times it's through comedy, fan service, or even through the story but in blue lock's case it's through a godly tournament-like action. one other thing blue lock has that's better than most anime currently is its panels. I can body say that blue lock has better panels than every anime of 2022. the panels not only reassure you of its tournament-like prowess but inc

Lookism chapter 423; the arrival

Ok, lookism has always been a masterpiece but today's chapter has once again proven it's superiority. For quite some time we haven't been seeing the members of the supposed group of friends and frienemies. But today we've finally gotten a whiff of action.  It's time to see the result of their training,  They all came back in one way or another different from their previous selves. Vasco came back with far more "hardware" than he previously possessed ,he's grown beards but one thing we don't know is how far he has progressed in his martial art. Zack on the other hand looks more of a pretty boy than he ever was but he isn't to be undermined because with just sight alone his foe was able to see the shocking superiority to his former self.  But the most awaited, Daniel Park. Although he wasn't any different from his previous self physically but one could tell just from the entrance that he was definitely different and he meant business 

One piece; Robin's devil form- another haki user emerges

The recent chapter of one piece has not ceased to amaze. And the most intriguing thing in the chapter is that we get to see one of the straw hats unlock a new ability. One might expect luffy, or Zoro, or any one of the major fighters in the crew but Oda just proved to us that each member of the crew is as fitting to be a member of the crew of the pirate king.    We see in the fight of Robin against Maria when the tides of the battle changes turn in favor of Maria; Robin had just brought out a huge version of herself, much like how she springs out body parts. Maria stated out that the version of herself that she sprung out makes out for a better punching bag, she saw that the physical damages to the parts that Robin sprung up also affected her. She then stated that she has fighting experience as she rushed in with lots of blows on Robin.    Robin took so much damage that she had to retract her abilities, thereby making Maria think she was about to run away.     Maria lashed out at Robin

Baki vs Mikey; a laughable comparison 🤣

It really ridiculous that people actually believe Mikey from Tokyo revenge can compare against Baki....mikey is just some kid who barely know how to hold his own. there is absolutely nothing that mikey could do that would damage Baki. if I'm not exaggerating....i would say no person in Tokyo revenge can beat baki even when going all against one.   Baki is on a whole different level from most anime characters and he is far above the league of Mikey, in speed, strength and brutality.    you can't compare a guy who can contend against the strongest being on earth with the head of a small gang. it would be a complete massacre.

Boruto; Naruto next generation-naruto's baryon mode explained

In the recent boruto manga, we've seen Naruto's new transformation, the bayron mode.      Today I'm going to be explaining the baryon mode. According to the manga the baryon mode is likened to nuclear fusion. This is brought by the fusion of kuruma's chakra and Naruto's, this fusion require Naruto's chakra as a base.     The new baryon mode greatly increases the speed and strength of Naruto to the extent that he began to beat the pull out of ishiki, but great powers comes at a cost. It decreases Naruto's life. That means that after Naruto uses this mode he is guaranteed to die.      As kuruma explained; the baryon mode reduces the life span of ishiki each time he takes a hit from naruto but at the same time also reduces Naruto's life span. It was a gamble due to the fact that ishiki body could not handle the energy he carries and he needed to find a new host.
