Being an anime villain is one of the most fascinating clichés and roles in the genre.Anime villains can range from the protagonist’s love interest to their sworn adversary, depending on the genre and demographic under consideration.The characters can be anything from the most heinous and insane to those who are just at conflict with the protagonist.Despite this, an anime villain’s role must be filled at all times. In no particular sequence, here are seven anime villains who have done nothing wrong.
Many anime villains are objectively wrong, but an argument can be made for these ten
1) Pilaf Gang (Dragon Ball)

The Pilaf Gang, meanwhile, is one of the most inept sets of anime villains.Whether through their own fault or because of external circumstances, Mai, Pilaf, and Shu are never able to commit really wicked crimes.Whatever the case may be, the group’s antics and deeds are far from malevolent. Their half-hearted attempts at villainy, which amount to little more than annoyances, are at best comic relief.
2) Oingo and Boingo (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure)

Similarly, Oingo and Boingo are two of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure’s most inept anime villains.Despite the fact that they are both Stand users, their intentions against the Stardust Crusaders are ridiculous.Later in the narrative, Boingo is given a second opportunity, this time working with Hol Horse rather than his older brother.Despite having an aggressive strategy, they are unable to perpetrate a truly terrible or evil act against the Crusaders.
3) Speed-o-sound Sonic (One-Punch Man)

Despite doing nothing wrong, One Punch Man’s Speed-o-sound Sonic always seems to play the role of an anime villain, despite being more of a competition to Saitama than a villain.None of his motives are ever malevolent, and they are usually motivated by a sense of superiority.Despite this, he continues to be on the receiving end of the short end of the stick. He’s either relegated to a pure comedy relief anime character, or he gets legitimate punishment for crimes that aren’t even quite terrible.
4) Gentle Criminal (My Hero Academia)

In My Hero Academia, Gentle Criminal is far from an anime villain, with labels like anime delinquent being more appropriate.Because no one is ever harmed or killed as a result of his misdeeds, it’s difficult to genuinely and objectively condemn him.While his choice of sidekick is debatable, it is by no means malicious or incorrect.
5) La Brava (My Hero Academia)

Speaking of La Brava, she doesn’t accomplish nearly enough in My Hero Academia to be considered an anime villain.Her fixation with Gentle Criminal originates primarily from a need to connect with someone who understands and accepts her. While idolising a villain is frightening and strange, it is far from wicked and serves merely to portray and enhance her character.
6) Lordgenome (Gurren Lagann)

Lordgenome is the major anime villain in the Gurren Lagann series, and his acts are fairly nasty.In the first instalment of the series, he oppresses humanity by forcing them to dwell in tight tunnels with a population cap and a death penalty for anyone who reaches the surface.However, it was later shown that he had a valid cause for doing so, which was to prevent the Anti-Spirals from returning.If one million humans were found living on Earth, these heavenly and terrible aliens would return.When the millionth human was born, they returned.
7) Seto Kaiba (Yu-Gi-Oh!)

Seto Kaiba is frequently depicted as an enemy of Yugi’s band in the Yu-Gi-Oh! series, despite the fact that there are clearly many more horrible opposing powers.In the series, characters like Pegasus, Marik, and Bakura have all done far worse crimes than Kaiba.Despite this, Kaiba is frequently depicted as the series’ major enemy, never fully establishing a cordial rivalry with Yugi. He is, without a doubt, one of the best examples of anime villains who have done nothing wrong.
8) Isabella (The Promised Neverland)

In The Promised Neverland, Isabella’s manner of life and role as an anime villain is entirely engulfed by the expression of being stuck between a rock and a hard place.Her choices are either to survive and rear children as demon livestock, or to have permitted herself to be used as cattle as a child.Regardless, Isabella makes it plain that she adores each and every child she fosters in her fictitious orphanage. Her character is clearly intended to be nuanced, and given the circumstances, it’s difficult to claim she’s actually evil or done something objectively wrong.
9) Mao (Code Geass)

Mao is a minor adversary in Code Geass, despite being one of the series’ most dangerous anime villains due to his sanity or lack thereof.Mao was cared for and granted the Geass powers by C2 when he was six years old, which manifested as the ability to read people’s minds.His Geass, like the protagonist’s, grew up and became permanently active.The relentless barrage of thoughts from those around him gradually drove him insane, and he was abandoned by his motherly figure. Despite the morally dubious activities he undertakes throughout the series, considering his history, it’s difficult to argue he’s done anything truly wrong.
10) Akainu (One Piece)

Finally, both within One Piece and throughout the medium, Akainu is one of the most despised anime villains.His assassination of Portgas D. Ace is one of the most cruel and terrible ever witnessed, with the Marine Admiral displaying no compassion for his foe either in the time or afterwards.However, accusing Akainu of doing something improper when he was merely doing his job is extremely difficult.Ace was a symbol and soldier of both the Marines and the World Government, and he obeyed instructions as a symbol and soldier of both ruling bodies. Despite the outrage that Ace’s death caused among fans, Akainu did nothing wrong; he simply carried out the responsibilities that his position and title demanded.
