Aizen Sosuke is a popular character from Bleach, who fans often call the greatest anime villain ever. His personality and method of dealing with issues are reasons for his ground-breaking popularity.

Despite being a villain, he has outsourced characters such as Ichigo and others. He has also been responsible for saving the Bleach verse numerous times, and no matter what happens in the story, Aizen Sosuke is the mastermind behind it.

Madara Uchiha, often called the ghost of the Uchia, deserves a spot on this list. After being reincarnated, he did not waste much time and brought the entire alliance to their knees.

If it weren’t for plot armor, nobody would have been able to defeat him. He is also the founder of Konoha village and one of the strongest shinobis of all time.

Even Naruto and Sasuke combined could not defeat him, and it started to look like Masashi Kishimoto created a character so strong that he was unaware of the methods to kill him.

3. Ryomen Sukuna

When Sukuna was introduced to the readers and viewers of Jujutsu Kaisen, he was an instant hit among the fans due to his sheer confidence. The king of curses is not someone who everyone can handle.

It took a generation of sorcerers to seal his powers, and nobody in the story has shown they are strong enough to go against him. He is also astute and moves very rationally but does not hold back when displaying power.

4. Pain

Pain is the most realistic villain introduced in the Naruto series; he is not overpowered, and his ideology is highly relatable. His speech to Naruto, while pinning him down with iron rods, ended up connecting with the viewers.

From the introduction to revealing his powers, Masashi Kishimoto put much effort into creating a character who will forever be remembered.

5. Light Yagami

What makes Light Yagami way cooler than the other characters in Death Note is his ability to manipulate people according to his desires. He can use anyone according to his calculation; the person being used would not even be aware.

He single-handedly waged a war against every police force in the country but still came out on top to a certain extent. Even powerful detectives like L could not look through the facade of Light Yagami.
