Meruem (Hunter X Hunter)

[{"selector":"#anim-c7ef5144-925e-4212-b61c-f79cd56e398b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(1.0658141036401503e-14%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1dd5dbd6-170a-4be2-b53e-6136184d7784","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5fcf0aa6-43f4-4225-9d34-6794143fb1fe","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d8e5d5ee-1436-408a-9187-37aa0ad84688","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bf94bac9-bc3a-4297-904a-eb90cd5305ac","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Yet another non-human villain with an amazing design, Meruem could certainly give any anime antagonist a run for their money. So far, Meruem is the strongest character in Hunter X Hunter with extremely high learning ability, despite his age

Muzan Kibutsuji (Demon Slayer)

[{"selector":"#anim-fa267952-76c3-4a1c-a23b-0da585773ad9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-4.103608884282618%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-66d7a7fa-7977-4596-986b-abad857732fc","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-138d47a3-65cf-456a-9e78-45dd5c65fe5d","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c4164d0a-17d4-40cb-96cf-aef145d7ecf7","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f909b5ab-1b50-4407-81a4-eb2a66b6bd1f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] The most feared and dreaded demon in the Demon Slayer universe is Muzan Kibitsuji. As the leader of the demons, Kibutsuji is violent, ruthless, and merciless toward anyone who opposes him

Ryomen Sukuna (Jujutsu Kaisen)

[{"selector":"#anim-c690de3e-e7cd-41e9-bc87-52d78af3ab1b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bfad5025-3e27-4cf4-96fe-1a56fbe3d510","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8ed269d9-bcfa-4b32-bacc-5d58ce725e26","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-75b91ac0-4120-4f08-85e0-e4250fa6dc43","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e58597c4-b070-4c16-82ce-da81ce5b5526","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Ryomen Sukuna is one of the most powerful Cursed Spirits in Jujutsu Kaisen. Although he has yet to reach his full, terrible potential, Sukuna is still powerful enough to possess Yuji Itadori and take over his body

Frieza (Dragon Ball)

[{"selector":"#anim-d8ed491c-f293-4735-a0f5-5fb641da27b0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(9.160714311443057%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c962c890-cf12-4565-83cf-08155947c384","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-33636ab3-cbe4-4866-aa37-b329e98ffc93","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-08860196-3c5c-4c9c-a52c-75bd7d22cd03","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a95f4644-e17b-4dce-b0c4-64001eff8764","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Though he does not need an introduction, Frieza is one of the many Dragon Ball villains

Madara Uchiha (Naruto)

[{"selector":"#anim-9a0889a6-4120-4b90-bed1-72c3db915423 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(3.552713678800501e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9a801db0-77b6-4d41-a67f-2456ecb80f7e","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3b5d73db-bf71-4c00-bbab-9a7cd4979db7","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6d61f03c-9d2b-4d19-8fa5-a18cde128ae8","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-095c3478-551d-4cad-9ca5-665620c5d3e1","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] The stuff of legends, Madara Uchiha was the leader of the Uchiha clan in Naruto. Not only has he “died” a couple of times, but his chakra and physical powers have been over the moon as well

Ryo Asuka (Devilman Crybaby)

[{"selector":"#anim-3a75bc50-1174-4a5c-a5d2-e1cf5ffe2376 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(9.73058193202141%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-33ba6d8b-d254-4ae4-ae6d-0b4408385353","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-491978c0-cc2e-4079-8be2-f7788f0b0003","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-167a3efb-4c37-4131-a380-3c042113f95e","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-45f16dcc-5b25-4df0-bdee-c95ae367845f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Though he appears to be a young man on the high of a discovery, he reveals his true self as Satan at the end of Devilman Crybaby.

King Bradley (Fullmetal Alchemist)

[{"selector":"#anim-8394283d-182b-4154-91c0-9c263d2b8e05 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-34dda9af-9e12-483a-b731-b7e19b148686","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4ece5f29-7a10-421e-b3c1-f030b370c10b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ccef10e1-a27e-470a-baf3-09859c9dd3b0","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-467ecd58-0326-4fd3-930c-cb3a65791ff3","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Alchemist has seven deadly Homunculi, but one stands out against the rest. Regardless of which version of the series fans watch, Wrath (King Bradley) has a solid arc as a villain

Griffith (Berserk)

[{"selector":"#anim-ecd2be07-8675-4c88-bf8d-0d26d0aec67c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(1.0658141036401503e-14%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2db6c880-abf7-4e18-ac80-73cb99432ac9","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ec732c77-c0de-43e3-9b6b-7a549dfd5123","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6b48f73f-cfea-4507-9ed8-3248467695a5","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a2236039-bbd7-40f1-9351-597670ec8d1d","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Griffith's angelic appearance is deceptive. He is the Supreme Commander of the Midland Regular Army and, with that title, comes nice abilities in Berserk.

All For One (My Hero Academia)

Many would say that his intellect is his most fearsome trait, but he has many powers to accompany it
