(#12) Squealer
- Animal Farm
If you were part of a species that had been routinely treated like expendable livestock that had to obey humanity at all costs, chances are you'd want to fight back. You'd especially want that if the very people who oppressed you were the ones who spliced your DNA so that you would be weaker than they were to begin with. Such is the fate of monster rats, a species that was once human but was combined with mole rat DNA until they could be easily exploited by humanity.
Squealer, one of the more strong-willed monster rats, eventually leads his people in rebellion against humankind. His actions result in countless human casualties, so it's not like he doesn't have blood on his hands. But his ultimate goal - to grant his people the freedom and dignity that any sentient species deserves - is a fair one.
While most humans in From The New World don't realize this, the protagonist does - which makes it all the more difficult for her to oppose him and protect herself and her loved one.

(#7) Shougo Makishima
- Psycho-Pass
In the world of Psycho-Pass, people are judged as 'latent criminals' before they've ever committed a single crime. As a result, people are arrested and deprived of all personal freedom even when they're completely innocent. Even worse, emotional disturbances caused by being the victim of a crime can cause a person to be so labeled, and so can participation in the arts. Personal freedom is nonexistent.
Shougo Makishima can't be read by the scanners that determine everyone else's criminal status. He decides to use this fact to his advantage in order to crash the system and set society free. This would be an extraodorinarily noble goal if his methods weren't so savage. Makishima doesn't care who he has to destroy in order to achieve his goals. In fact, he does everything from slit a young woman's throat to attempt to starve an entire nation by destroying its grain supply.

(#9) Treize Khushrenada
- Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
Treize Kushrenada wants to end all war, but his ideas about how to do so are some of the most violent ones imaginable. He decides to start a war so heinous that no one will ever dream of starting another war again - and he's willing to do anything it takes to make that happen.
Despite his willingness to commit atrocities in the name of peace, he feels deeply guilty about every person whose life is lost in the process. In fact, he even sets up a memorial to commemorate them.

(#5) Tsukasa Shishiou - 'Dr. Stone'
Just like Senku, Tsukasa wants to rebuild society after humanity was encased in stone for thousands of years. Unlike Senku, Tsukasa's goal involves taking lives. A lot of lives. Because he wants to totally rebuild society from scratch to allow everyone total freedom and control over their lives, he wants to eliminate the adults who built the previous society.
This means either preventing Senku from reviving the people whose bodies are still made of stone, or breaking the statues before Senku can do anything. His behavior is clearly villainous - and his view that all adults will be on the same page is naive and inaccurate - but he genuinely wants to create a better world.

(#11) Kugaha - 'Noragami'
Kugaha's serves as one of the main antagonists in the world of Noragami, but he actually has a pretty good reason for his behavior. He serves under a god called Bishamonten as a shinki - that is, a spirit who has been chosen by a god to fight in their service and transform into a weapon for their use.
Bishamonten has more shinki than she can handle. Not only does she need to provide for all of their physical needs, but she's also dramatically impacted by their emotions. When her shinki feel neglected, depressed, or anything else that's negative, she feels it physically in the form of an illness called blight. It gets so bad that Bishamonten is nearly nonfunctional.
Kugaha decides to rectify this state of affairs by taking Bishamonten's life so that she can be reincarnated into someone who won't take in every stray she can find and destroy herself in the process. Because he thinks of himself as one of the few shinki worth Bishamonten's time, he's fairly accused of arrogance - but he was also trying to save his goddess from herself.

(#2) Stain - 'My Hero Academia'
Hero society isn't what it's cracked up to be, and Stain would be just the guy to do something about it - except that he gets his point across by taking innocent lives.
His point is a valid one. Hero society in the world of My Hero Academia is driven less by the genuine desire to save people than it is by flashy sponsorships and corporate deals. Some heroes are actually deeply corrupt people who do more harm than good. It's not unreasonable to want to tear down that system and expose its inherent hypocrisy, but his point is lost in all the blood that's shed by his hands.
