Best anime villain death?

[lucky_sharm]

Please describe the scenes, and why you like them. Not just link to a youtube.(90% of all posts in this thread. We want to know Why you like them too)
Some viewers are on a tablet. My tablet doesnt lowd videos in comments, so I can neither watch them, or go to the direct site, as it makes the link a square whit page in your link, with a funky blue lego.

As for myself, I highly enjoyed when the main villan of Sword Art Online died in game- the guyimprisions and is going to rape the heros girl both in life and in game. They really made it so you hated the doucebag. Then kirito sets the pain receptors at maximum, decapitates him, and impales the head in mid_air. So awesome

It's not hard to hate a character that basically lives and breathes cliched villain tropes. He's impossible to take seriously on every level, given that he's about as threatening as a camp butterfly.

OT: Shogo Makishima from Psycho Pass was an amazing villain and foil to Kogami. I wish he'd stick around a little longer to see what antics he'd get up to next, but sadly well written villains know to die on a high note so they don't become stale.

gotta go with the death of the demon from the beginning of princess mononoke
for me it resonates as it was the first epic death I ever saw in a anime.... there are probably more awesome ones out there but this one was my first and therefor is special


I SALUTE YOU BOAR DEMON AND YOUR BADASS DEATH!

Really, none of you? I am so ashamed, no really I'm calling your mothers and telling them that they have awful children. I say the death of vicious from Cowboy Bebop is the best Anime villain death of all time:


Sorry I couldn't find it in english.

Not sure if I'd call it the 'best' villain death, but with all the cheese that's being posted here I always liked the final fight in the first season of Full Metal Panic between Sousuke and... was it Gauron? Just because it was a short, brutal giant robot knife fight that that only needs about 2 minutes start to finish to wrap up without any extra theatrics. No dramatic music or length monologues, just nice short & sweet.

Only video I can find has some extra theatrics, but oh well:


Similar in a way to the Cowboy Bebop one above me, sometimes its just better that way.

"GEMMA, BURN IN YOUR GOLDEN HELL!!!"

Ninja Scroll had a lot of terrific villain deaths. Gemma takes the cake, closely followed by Tessai.

Ninja Scroll was simply terrific. I need to re-watch that now that I've been reminded of it.

There are a lot that I really enjoyed. My favorite death in Dragon Ball Z is the introduction of Future Trunks. Frieza is revealed to be alive, his much more powerful father is revealed and they both just landed on Earth. Frieza destroyed Namek and it took the fulfillment of an alien prophecy (and about a season's worth of episodes) to take him out the first time. Then within 2 episodes, Metal Frieza and King Cold are completely decimated by this newcomer. It felt really cathartic to me, since just about every other major villain takes so much time to kill off or, otherwise defeat. Future Trunks returning home and destroying his world's Androids is also nicely cathartic.

A lot of people brought up Fist of the North Star/Hokuto no Ken. From that series, my favorite death is either Rei's or, Yuda's. Their fight was my favorite in the series and Yuda's I bought Yuda's motivation (ie: I just wanted you to notice me). Fist of the North Star was made out of manly tears and that little arc nicely encapsulates that concept.
