Top 10 anime villains of the 90s
Today we'll be counting down our picks for the top 10 anime villains of the 90s for this list we'll be looking at the most iconic villains in anime that made their debuts in the 1990s and ranking
them on their popularity and lasting impact
10 The McDougald Brothers "outlaw star" 1998
give these boys of what of cash tell them to go kill someone and
they'll get the job done while jeans star wind has encountered
all manner of criminal scum throughout his trip across the stars
none have been more persistent than these two siblings they're
desperate pursuit of hot ice Hilda and penchant for violence made
their misdeeds somewhat endearing so much so we couldn't wait
for them to appear on screen if only for Jean and company to
blast them back into the vacuum of space
9 Queen Beryl "Sailor Moon" 1992-1997
serving us the Sailor Scouts original antagonist this sorceress
turned to the dark side after losing her precious Prince and demian
to Princess serenity in her vengeance she pretty much ended up
screwing everything up for the Moon Kingdom falling on from
that she aimed to repeat the process on earth place snatching up
the princess reincarnation and slaying Sailor Moon in the process
yep she knows a thing or two about holding a grudge
8 Dilandau albatou "the vision of escaflowne" 1996
vain doesn't even come close to describing this one by far the
most sadistic warrior the Sybok empire has at its disposal dylan dough's impulsive nature and incomparable narcissism made him a character we just loved to hate help the main reason he despises our heroic lead is because he left a tiny cut on his supposedly
perfect face while we'd later learn just why the leader of the dragon
slayers has so many screws loose he's still made for the perfect fall
of a van to fight against
7 Zeches Marquis "Mobile Suit Gundam Wing" 1995-96
this one's a little more complex while Gundam purists might take one look at this guy and immediately call out charcoal own Zechs
is actually a character all of his own who at times blurred the line between good and evil I can't say he was the cruelest individual
to emerge from Gundams most of his shonan's stacked iteration he certainly knows how to take heads while piloting the Evian if he can't persuade you with his silver tongue then he'll painfully demonstrate why is known as the lightning count
6 Dio brando "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure OVA" 1993
you thought we'd include Stardust Crusaders on this list but it
was actually me the classic OVA yeah long before Jotaro Kujo got the remaster he so desperately needed we had this little series wander introduced us to the terror that was Lord Dio even before his name was known by all the Joestar Nemesis was still shown to have all the crazy quakes we've come to love him for dropping steam rollers and mutilating his own face included
just goes to show that no matter thedecade this vampire never gets old
5 Makoto shishio "rurouni kenshin" 1996-98
when Kenshin abandoned his killing ways to atone for his sins the title of man Slayer was left open for another to grasp and wouldn't you know it it went to this severely disfigured psychotic
swordsman fueled by pain and a desire to spread chaos shishio
proved himself to be Kenshin's greatest opponents and bidden by morals he was even willing to slice through his own comrades just to gain an advantage in a fight brutal up until the end this is one twisted firestarter we won't soonforget
4 Toguro "Yu Yu Hakusho" 1992-94
Yusuke had no shortage of foes during his time as a spirit detective but by far the one that left the biggest impression was this shades wearing demon well we figured him for nothing more than a bulky henchman togoro ended up casting quite the shadow across the series with monstrous strength a tragic past and a deadly rivalry with Yusuke his actions at the dark tournament cemented him as an
antagonist leagues above the other devilish denizens of the series
3 Team Rocket "Pokemon" 1997
they we never said they had to be effective villains almost as iconic as Pikachuthis merry trio of criminals have made their sole goal in life to hunt down the lightning mouse even if it takes them all over the globe given that they failed more times then Ash's bombed at a
tournament you have to admire their commitment to their cause nevernseen without a ridiculous set of disguises a whole host of crazy capturing contraptions as well as their now legendary motto Jessie James and Meowth stand tall as the model rocket employees
2 vicious "Cowboy Bebop"

the clue is in the name here remorseless and caring and the bane of
spikes beagles existence this ruthless killer only seems to feel alive when he's making others cry tears of Scarlet's a former partner of spikes during their time as members of the Red Dragon syndicate he stands as the one responsible for taking everything from
the space cowboy aiming to finish him off with his signature sword this is definitely not a man you want to cross
1 Frieza "Dragon Ball Z" 1989-96
the intergalactic tyrant wins the day again out of all the beings that have threatened the universe and believers there have been plenty none of quite managed to top this nasty bastard able to drop his victims with just a flick of the finger Frieza remains Goku's most iconic foe not to mention he was the one responsible for the genocide of the Saiyan race
Hairless to the end eerily charismatic and the one responsible for triggering go keys switch to Super Saiyan we never got tired of seeing this guy strut his stuff
them on their popularity and lasting impact
