10 Darkest Anime TV Villains, Ranked
We rank the darkest villains in Anime TV shows, from Naruto's Orochimaru to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's DIO.

There wouldn't be good stories without villains, the antagonistic force in a series that pushes the protagonist to defeat them and foil their evil schemes. Anime, in particular, is home to some of the greatest villains, including Aizen from Bleach and Frieza from Dragon Ball Z. While many things can make a great villain, from sympathy to passion, darkness is also a key factor in creating a believable and imposing force.
