Anime villains are known for their twisted motives, cruel actions, and often heartbreaking backstories. Of Demon Slayer Superior Grade Three Demon, Akaza, to Fruit baskets Akito Sohma, these evildoers were not born villains and followed this harmful path to deal with struggles and losses in their own lives. Anime in particular has some of the best fictional villains, with backstories that almost make fans feel a little sorry for these characters’ paindespite your mistakes.
My Hero Academy is no different, and the series’ entire plot revolves around the battle between good and evil, making villains a crucial component. The division between heroes and villains in My Hero Academia society is distinct, but many evil characters only attacked in this way because they felt they had no other choice. Unfortunately, many characters, like Tomura Shigaraki and Toga Himiko, for example, were ridiculed for their uncontrollable quirks and looked down upon by the world, leaving them feeling isolated and resentful. Not every villain has a tragic story, and the worst villain in the series proves this fact.
Majority My Hero Academy Villains have disturbing and sad stories
The League of Villains is full of characters that society turned its back on and mistreated
Tomura Shigaraki is considered one of the most horrible villains in My Hero Academia, causing pain to everyone who crosses his path. However, Shigaraki’s education and past helps explain his anger at humanity. When he was a child, his Decay Quirk became horribly uncontrollable and killed his entire family, leaving him alone. Shigaraki waited in vain for the heroes to come and save him, but no one did, until All For One found the boy and began manipulating him for his own selfish schemes. As Shigaraki was neglected and left behind by the heroes, this shows why he despises them.
Toga Himiko and Shuichi Iguchi, better known as Spinner, suffered similar hardships from society. Toga also struggled to keep her Transform Quirk and bloodlust a secret, causing her own family to look at her with disdain. Once she finally encountered the League of Villains, she fully unleashed her Quirk for evil purposes, seeing these fellow villains as the only people who would understand her. Shuichi was equally bullied and ridiculed for his reptilian appearance, and he also felt that he would never fit in anywhere other than alongside evildoers and other outcasts of society, so he too joined the League of Villains.
All for one is evil purely out of self-interest and evil
All for One was evil from birth, stealing the strength of his own twin brother, Yoichi, for himself
While villains like Shigaraki, Toga, and Spinner have devastating histories filled with abuse, pain, and neglect that led them to seek villainy in retaliation against a society that turned its back on them while they were at their most vulnerable, not all of the characters shared this. experience. The most evil villain in the series, All For One lived a very different life than the other members of the League of Villains. All For One’s evil did not develop over time as a result of his circumstances, he was born with evil intentions. All For One is a villain simply because he takes pleasure in it.
All For One is completely different from these other evildoers because he doesn’t have a depressing backstory or reason for his evil deeds. He is just malicious by nature and takes a twisted pleasure in stealing Quirks and harm others. Interestingly, All For One was a villain from his first moments, from the womb. His twin, Yoichi, was the first to suffer mistreatment, as All For One intentionally weakened his brother to become stronger. This began a disturbing pattern in All For One’s behavior, as he began to live his life by taking from others.
His unique and twisted motivation sets him apart from the typical anime villain
The other members of the League of Villains are more complex and sympathetic than All for One, who is evil incarnate.
All For One’s Quirk, called All For One after the villain himself, is an inherently evil and parasitic Quirk. He uses the ability to strip others of their quirks from them, and throughout the series he eagerly accumulates these unique abilities to make himself more powerful while leaving others weak. All For One’s childhood wasn’t particularly distressing, and he didn’t have a major catastrophic incident that changed his outlook, like Shigaraki did. He was simply doomed to be a villain from the start, making him arguably more petrifying than the average villain with more complex and understandable motivations.
Not only did All For One ruin so many people’s lives by taking away their Quirks, he killed his own brother, almost ended All Might’s life, unleashed terror on society and took advantage of Tomura Shigaraki, the series’ other biggest villain, while he was vulnerable and alone. All For One has no mercy or sympathy for anyone and would never think twice about ending a life if it would benefit him. Shigaraki, Toga, and the other members of the League of Villains have more substantial, albeit misguided, reasons for their actions because of the suffering they have faced as a direct result of their Quirks.
Evil acts bring everyone a distorted feeling of joy, showing that he is past redemption.
Few anime characters are inherently evil from birth, like all for one, which sets it apart as uniquely twisted
All For One is not just My Hero Academia Most unique villain, but distinct from other anime villains because he is the true incarnation of evil. He was born with villainy in his blood, his mind cannot be changed and he is virtually unstoppable. Armed with the most invincible Quirk and a self-obsessed mindset, it becomes clear why society cowers in fear at the mention of his name. The villain is not likable like other anime villains with sad stories. Hurting others and controlling the world causes All for one cheerful, making it the most distorted My Hero Academy everyone’s character.
