Favorite Anime Villain

When it comes to anime, I've always loved a good villain and since I can never have just one favourite, I'll go with top 5.
Now this first one is from Soul Eater, but not the anime, he only appeared in the manga. (If that doesn't count, I'll just make an edit.)
Second place goes too, the boss of the Milieforie mafia family, the marshmallow loving powerful sociopath, with a sense of humour.
The one to take the third spot, Kid Buu from DragonBall Z, why? The answer is simple, he did what any other villain always said they would do, blew up the earth.
Number four, rightly belongs to, the War adoring Major from Hellsing Ultimate.
Also the Major's speech was amazing and by amazing I meant it give a perfect insight to just how insane he is.
Finally number five goes to, Hidan from Naruto Shippudden.
Now to me, it wasn't Hidan's immortality that made him so dangerous, no it was the fact that he was an excellent fighter in combat and he does make laugh, with some of his well timed swears.

"My friends it has often been said that I like war.
Friends, I like war... No, friends, I love war! I love holocausts. I love blitzkriegs. I love defensive lines. I love sieges, charges, I love mop-up operations, and retreats.
Wars across prairies, in streets, in trenches, in grasslands, in frozen tundras, through deserts, on the sea, in the air, I love every act of war that can occur upon this earth.
I love blasting the enemy to smithereens with artillery salvos that thunder across the lines of battle. My heart leaps with joy whenever a soldier is tossed into the air and cut to pieces by well placed sniper rounds. And there is nothing like a tank operator using a Tiger 88 to destroy enemy tanks. And the feeling that comes when a soldier runs screaming from his blazing tank only to be mowed down by heavy machine gun fire, is such an exquisite feeling.
Like when ranks of infantry brandish their bayonets rushing into the enemy line. It moves me deep within my heart to watch a fresh recruit stabbing over and over into the bloated chest of a long-dead enemy.
The sight of deserters being strung up from a street lamp is an irresistible pleasure. And there is nothing more arousing, than the sounds made by prisoners of war dropping like flies, screaming in agony as they're mowed down by ear piercing schmeissers!
When a band of pitiful resistance fighters makes their final stand with nothing but small arms, only to have their city smashed to atoms block by block by 4.8 ton bombshells, I'm in ecstasy.
I love it when my forces are ravaged by a Russian armored division. It's so sad to see towns and villages that were supposed to be defended at all costs, being laid to waste, their women and children being raped, and killed.
I love to be squashed under the heel of the British and American war machines. The humiliation, as my men crawl around like vermin, ducking the yark bombers flying overhead.
Gentlemen... All I ask for is war, a war so grand as to make Hell itself tremble. Gentlemen, I ask you as fellow brothers in arms, what is it you really want? Do you wish for further war as I do? Do you wish for a merciless, bloody war? A war whose fury is built with iron, and lightning, and fire? Do you ask for war to sweep in like a tempest, leaving not even ravens to scavenge, from this Earth!?
Very well. Then war is what you shall have. We are a clenched fist, ready to strike down all who oppose us, with our might. But... After enduring over half a century wallowing in the darkness, for us, a simple "ordinary" war will no longer be sufficient. We need a MASSIVE war! A war beyond any other that man's history has ever known!
We are but a single battalion... The remnants of a defeated army numbering less than a thousand strong. However, I believe that each of you old warriors is worth a thousand of their sickly soft children! We represent a force that could easily defeat an army of a million and one men! It is time for us to awake the ones who sent us screaming into oblivion, and who now lie sleeping. Let's drag them out of bed by the hair, and remind them of what we are! We will remind them of what it feels like to live in fear. We will remind them of the sound our jackboots make against their throats. We will remind them, that there are more things between Heaven and Hell than are dreamt of in their philosophy.
Our Kampfgruppe of one thousand battle-hardened warriors will burn this world down to ash. Yes, my friends! Soon, Europe's charred remains will illuminate the night sky! I have brought you all back just as I promised I would. Back to our favorite battlefield. Back to our beloved war! At last the sea lion has crossed the ocean and is heading up the hill. Attention all soldiers of the Millennium Battalion this is a message from your commander? friends let?s bring them hell."

i don't know yet but aizen from bleach is definitely not on the list.
i will come up with one later and edit my post right now i want to go to sleep

I couldn't pick just one, so I put in my top 3
Michael Seebach from Big O:
At first I thought he was just the stock "mad scientist" villain, but as the story progressed, he evolved as a character way past that cliche. And by the end of the series, he was one of the most memorable villains I'd ever seen in an anime.
Souther from Hokuto no Ken (AKA Fist of the North Star):
Aside from being an absolute badass, I can't really explain why I like Souther as much as I do. All main "villains" in Hokuto no Ken have redeeming factors that make them appealing to me, which is why I used quotes. Yeah, I just can't find the words to describe why I really like him, so just watch the show and see for yourself.
Raoh also from Hokuto no Ken:
Probably my favorite anime villain if I had to choose just one, Raoh is the badass that your favorite badass wishes he could be. As Yahtzee would put it, he is a monster truck that walks like man. Similar to Souther, it's also hard to explain what makes him so endearing besides his ultimate badass status, so once again I advise you to watch the show for yourself.

Souther from Hokuto no Ken (AKA Fist of the North Star):
Raoh also from Hokuto no Ken:
Shwartzwald is a good pick, very good pick, but he may not actually be the villain... He's insane and obsessed with the truth, but then all the leaflets and actually helping Roger Smith at one point colors him differently. Now then...

I don't watch a lot of anime, so not a lot to choose from.
I choose Light from Death Note. ...more like an anti-villain I suppose.

Light Yagami from Death Note.
DONT READ SPOILER LOLZ
The best part is that its a gradual descent into villainy.

I remember that kid. He's from Cyber Six.Soviet Heavy said:Oh, I forgot this guy! Doubt many of you know who he is though.
lil' slugger from Paranoia Agent; only one I can think of this early in the morning.
It's him mostly for the last few episodes.

It's because he becomes this.
I've got to agree with you there.Sarah Kerrigan said:Haven't watched alot of animes with good villians lately..but my all time favorite?
Damn you, Elric, for out-Xanatos-ing me!Zekksta said:He may eat gods for breakfast man, but he doesn't always keep them down.FalloutJack said:Shwartzwald is a good pick, very good pick, but he may not actually be the villain...

Hmm... it may be...
And that is why he is my favorite villain.
Because he is technically a hero. Afro, is technically the villain, but he is more of an Anti-Hero. At the end of the series, he describes what would be a utopia, created by him with the power of the headbands.
If anything, I agree with his goal. Technically... his goal is pretty much the same as mine.
He is one of my favorite Anime characters ever.
