(#20) Light Yagami
- Death Note, Death Note: Re-light: L's Successors, Death Note, Death Note: The Last Name
Physically speaking, Light isn't the strongest. However, he more than makes up for it with his powerful intellect and his supernatural ability: the Death Note. Using the notebook, he can eliminate anyone whose name and face he knows, and he's damn good at figuring out that information.

(#14) Esdeath
When you're capable of mowing down 100,000 soldiers - including ten teigu users - by yourself, you know you deserve a spot on this list. Esdeath, the leader of the Jaegers, is an absolute beast when it comes to combat. When she introduces her own teigu, which allows her to manipulate ice and even create ice soldiers that she can control, she gets even more terrifying.

(#4) Jiren - 'Dragon Ball Super'
Whether or not Jiren is actually a villain or just an antagonist is an open question, but one thing is for certain: he's outlandishly powerful. Whether he's using his signature move Power Impact for offense or mustering the defensive skills to stand up against both Frieza and Goku, he is one formiddable foe.

(#21) Griffith
- Berserk Golden Age Arc I: The Egg of the King, Berserk Golden Age Arc II: The Battle for Doldrey
Before he sacrifices the member of the Band of the Hawk to become Femto, Griffith has the powers of an average skilled warrior. But once he becomes Femto, he gains the ability to warp reality, defy gravity, and control causality itself. Basically, the dude becomes a god - but the price to get there is steep indeed.

(#15) Marshall "Blackbeard" Teach
- One Piece
Just like Luffy, Blackbeard wants to be the Pirate King, but he's willing to do a heck of a lot more damage to innocent people than Luffy is to accomplish that. This guy possesses a metric ton of brute strength, but he's also the only person to have two Devil Fruit powers: the Quake-Quake Fruit, which allows him to cause earthquakes, and the Dark-Dark Fruit, which gives him control over darkness.

(#18) Naraku
- Inu Yasha
Naraku is the most prominent villain in the world of Inuyasha, and he causes nearly every problem faced by the protagonists. He can command wasps that he summoned from hell, create poisonous miasmas, restructure and heal his own body, absorb other demons into his body and use their powers, graft himself to his servants or lay dormant in their bodies, and more. He's so strong that he can't actually be defeated through combat - he has to be literally wished out of existence.

About This Tool
Every movie or Comic Book has a villain in it, and people love a good villain, sometimes even more than they love a hero. This is especially true of anime; a good villain can make the series better, especially because they are more layered and developed than the characters themselves, at least in Shonen. In any case, the best villains in anime are bad, and the heroes have to face the villains at the end of the story or in the series. These major drawbacks are the heroes’ toughest battles, pushing them to their limits and putting us on the edge of our seats as we seek to find the best candidates.
This random tool generates 25 items to help us rank nearly all of history’s cartoon villains in order of strength. You can see such notorious villains as Madara Uchiha, Sōsuke Aizen, Beerus, Jiren and Meruem. In your mind, who is the No. 1 Villain?
