Evil Roots O_o

"Once A Villain.. always a Villain? hmmmm..."

Can you ever tell whether a character in a movie, anime or anything is a villain? Sometimes, its really hard to do so considering the fact that some villains are good at concealing themselves. You cant be an effective villain if most of your evil actions or motives are always seen on the surface. Stealth mode should always be activated. And not knowing who the real villain is spices up the mood for a certain media.

I am not always a fan of heroes on a certain movie, anime or anything of some sort. I always go for those characters depicting cool skills and the like. And usually, I always end up waving my fan flag to those villains who are actually being disliked by many. No matter how cruel they are, you just cant take your eyes off them knowing how wise, creative, resourceful and deceitful they are. With all the means they're taking just to achieve whatever they desire, you just cant help but say "kudos to you evil-plotters!" hahahaah :P

However, my side is always for the greater good.. :D Just let me share to you "some" villains which I found so disturbing in some ways but interesting in many aspects:

Pein/Nagato - Naruto Shippuuden
Need I say more about this "peaceful" guy? haha. From such a lame, cry-baby, sensitive and aloof child that he was, he turned to be the most gifted and talented god-like Shinobi whom many folks fear of. But with such kind of "twisted" perception over peace, harmony and understanding, he tends to kill almost everyone or anyone who crosses his way with any means you'll never thought possible.

Orochimaru— Naruto
Orochimaru's name is from a mythical tale, Orochi means "large serpent". See that snake eyes making everything about him a traitor and evil! If you try to look back at his past, you might seem to give him some second thoughts and a pinch of pity. But with all the things he did and keeps on doing, I bet no mercy would be left for you to share with him. He stops at nothing as long as he can satisfy his thirst for anything that he wants. And say, he wants everything for he even wants to exist forever!

Light Yagami, Ryuk - Death Note
I can say that Light was possessed by his evil consciousness residing into the deepest pit of his soul. I have always admired how smart he is. He was kinda nice, that's already taken; but it doesnt change the fact that he's a badass. Since he let his evil part take over him, his idea of justice was long gone before he knew it. I truly believe that all of us are born evil. But with the choices given, it's only up to us to decide which side of our soul to follow.

Ryuk, on the other hand, is pure evil. haha.. And his character tells us that we should never trust a demon or an evil person no matter how sincere it would say - "Mark my word." And what I like about Ryuk being a demon or death god? His motto : "There is no loyalty." making him a real evil as it only depends on itself.. ;)

Sosuke Aizen - Bleach
A real "planner", manipulator and "deceptor" or whatever you may call a creature full of deceptions, lies and hidden agenda. A master of his craft, this guy's been planning all his attacks and forms of deceptions in ways that even wiser guys can hardly decode... Aizen is not bound by morals and will stop at nothing just to surface his ambitions. Even manipulating or killing anyone will be done if necessary . cool, eh?! haha

Makoto Shishio - Ruruoni Kenshin/ Samurai X
Every bit of him seemed devilish. haha.. Indeed, his quite a good match for Kenshin; however, I still think he was no real match. It was just his deceptive tactics that worn Kenshin out to the bones. If Kenshin fought him while he (kenshin) was still "fresh and full of energy" and not after he had fought Sojiro, Aoshi and the others, I bet he would have been beaten big time! haha

Naraku - InuYasha
An evil with a loving heart? A wishful thinker and one who used the thought of "Love conquers all" in a bad and evil means. Oh my.. This half-demon was said to have only wished for the love of his girl who happened to love somebody else (Inuyasha, that is). Well, he tried to make use of everything evil for something he wasnt even sure of. I mean, this guy's confused and not even fully aware what he really wants with all the power he's been dying to have. Not until later when he failed that he found out what he truly wishes for - Love. ouch! :D

Vicious— Cowboy Bebop
Vicious was once Spike's partner, and it is because of him that Spike's life was shattered. A would-be leader of their crime syndicate, Vicious is smarter and more directly violent himself than a lot of the villains in anime. Old-fashioned destructiveness--plus a soupcon of maliciousness--par excellence.

Chief Kakuzawa— Elfen Lied
He tortures children and thinks he's right to do it. He doesn't just excuse it because it's what he wants; he actually thinks he's noble and doing good. Kakuzawa is an example of the most frightening of evils--the evil we've seen in our own world and in our own time--the evil of thinking you're doing the right thing, or "doing evil to do good."

However, the most vicious villain in this series is said to be Lucy. She has this sadistic streak and it seemed that killing or butchering is her primary function. Well, she's not a human afterall. So if you still want to lengthen your days in this planet, better not go against a "Lucy" type of person.. haha


Other villains such as Sensui from Yu Yu hakushu, that crazy step mom of Kougaiji and her most-dependable follower - that Doctor/scientist (forgot the name) from Saiyuki, Kurei from Flame Of Recca, Hau/Hao of Shaman King and Son Goku's nemesis such as cell, freeza and majin-boo.

There are loads of villains from bunches of anime to mention. Of course, I still have others on mind but I "reserved" some of them or those that I really fancy for my "anti-heroes" or "villains turned heroes" post.. :D Title says it all.. ;)
