00:00 I cast thee back to the vile pit from which you came.
00:03 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're
00:06 counting down our picks for the top 10 revenge
00:09 kills in animated shows.
00:12 Your time is up, Shredder.
00:14 I was wrong.
00:16 We'll exclude any anime or movies here,
00:18 so beware of major spoilers ahead.
00:23 Number 10, Rick eliminates a galactic traitor,
00:26 Rick and Morty.
00:28 During a shocking season finale,
00:30 Tammy took a page out of the Game of Thrones playbook
00:33 and betrayed her husband, Bird Person, at a wedding.
00:36 After revealing herself as an agent,
00:38 she tried to execute Rick Sanchez and anyone
00:41 who stood in her way.
00:43 Drop the portal gun.
00:45 Slide it to the center of the room.
00:49 Somebody confiscate that.
00:50 The scientist escaped with a newfound thirst for revenge
00:54 for the traitorous spouse.
00:55 Shortly after, Tammy returned to Earth
00:57 and threatened his family.
00:58 Rick immediately flew out to confront her.
01:01 Tammy, this is the office where my family
01:02 works to better itself.
01:03 What, and that makes it sacred?
01:05 No, it makes it a place I've rigged
01:06 with a lot of voice-activated escape contingencies.
01:08 Despite his best efforts, he ends up on the wrong side
01:12 of Tammy's space gun.
01:13 But a timely assist from his gerndkids
01:16 puts him back in control.
01:18 Although Rick dispatches her pretty quickly,
01:20 it was still great to see that the traitor could no longer
01:24 threaten the universe.
01:25 Where is Tammy?
01:26 Oh, don't worry about her.
01:26 I killed her.
01:29 I loved her.
01:30 Really?
01:31 Number nine, Aquaman lets his treacherous brother
01:33 fall just asleep.
01:35 Apparently, I underestimated you, brother.
01:41 A mistake I won't make again.
01:43 The King of Atlantis initially thought
01:45 that the surface dwellers were trying to end his life.
01:48 However, it turned out that Aquaman's brother, Orm,
01:52 was behind the whole scheme.
01:55 The twisted sibling used the assassination attempt
01:58 as an excuse to ascend to the throne.
02:00 To make matters worse, Orm left Aquaman and his son
02:03 in a deadly magma trap.
02:06 Well, I'm off to avenge your deaths.
02:08 After the King removed his own hands
02:14 to save himself and his child, he
02:16 prepared to unleash a tidal wave of hurt on his brother.
02:19 Their tense battle ends with Orm dangling over an abyss.
02:23 Without a second thought, Aquaman watched his brother
02:26 fall into the darkness.
02:28 Please, brother, help me.
02:31 I believe this is mine.
02:38 We were glad that the King came out
02:40 atop this dark sibling rivalry.
02:42 Number eight, Joe gets justice for his injuries.
02:46 Family guy.
02:47 Bobby Briggs is the one who put me in this wheelchair.
02:50 I got him.
02:51 I finally got him.
02:53 When a criminal known as Bobby "The Shirt" Briggs
02:55 is captured, it's initially a cause for celebration.
02:59 Years prior, he discovered Joe was an undercover cop
03:02 and shot the officer in the legs.
03:04 The injuries caused the policeman
03:06 to have to rely on a wheelchair for life.
03:09 So when Briggs escaped custody, Joe
03:12 couldn't let the villain slip away.
03:14 The policeman and his allies pursued the criminal
03:16 all over the country.
03:18 When Joe finally gets Briggs dead to rights,
03:21 he delivers a surprisingly emotional speech
03:23 for the comedic show.
03:25 I've waited 15 years for this moment, Briggs.
03:28 Do you have any idea what it's like to have to lift yourself
03:31 into a wheelchair every morning?
03:32 Speaking of comedy, the cop's decision
03:35 to injure the villain's legs unintentionally
03:37 turns out to be fatal.
03:39 The way the characters hilariously shrug off
03:42 the murder made this act of vengeance both dark and funny.
03:46 Well, you guys helped me finally have some closure in my life.
03:49 I feel like a new man, like I'm reborn.
03:52 Number seven, soup kids get serious parental payback.
03:55 The boys diabolical.
03:57 They said we'd be rich with a superhero kid, not this freak.
04:02 We just want our lives back, OK?
04:04 I'm hungry.
04:05 There, do you see what we have to deal with?
04:07 A bunch of superpowered young people
04:09 were forced to go to an orphanage
04:11 after their abilities became inconvenient at home.
04:14 When the kids discovered that their parents involuntarily
04:17 pushed the powers on them, they got incredibly angry.
04:21 The young soups then teamed up to eliminate
04:23 all their selfish guardians.
04:25 In a montage that was both brutal and hilarious,
04:28 the kids take out all of the bad parents.
04:31 It all builds up to a tragic confrontation
04:34 between a ghostly soup and her uncaring dad.
04:37 What do you want?
04:38 What do I want?
04:40 I want to feel, but I can't.
04:43 I want to touch or eat or taste, but I--
04:47 I can't.
04:48 I even want to die, but I can't.
04:52 Since she can't physically touch him,
04:54 the whole group steps forward to help her get revenge.
04:57 While the episode ends on a predictably downbeat note
05:00 for a boys universe show, it was still entertaining
05:04 to see the soups lash out.
05:06 Don't worry.
05:07 I'll be back one day.
05:09 Number six, Brionne punishes his crooked uncle, Young Justice.
05:13 Princess Tara.
05:15 And given their stance against meta trafficking,
05:18 Brionne is most likely responsible
05:20 for the assassinations of his own parents,
05:22 King Victor and Queen Elora.
05:25 Rise!
05:26 Over the course of a few years, the youngest prince's sister
05:29 went missing, he found his parents murdered in their home,
05:33 and he was forced into getting superpowers.
05:36 Although Brionne discovered his uncle Frederick
05:38 was responsible, the royal wasn't
05:40 able to avenge his loved ones.
05:43 But the prince got a chance when he returned to his home country
05:46 as the hero Geoforce.
05:48 When Frederick tried to take the throne once more,
05:51 Brionne beat him in battle and ensnared him in a trap.
05:54 You kidnapped my sister, murdered my parents,
06:00 betrayed crown and country.
06:02 Although the crooked uncle surrendered,
06:07 the prince still didn't feel like he achieved justice.
06:10 Brionne then proceeded to kill Frederick publicly
06:13 with boiling lava powers.
06:15 The brutal execution was cathartic
06:17 for the long-tormented prince.
06:20 Do you not hear the crowd?
06:23 They know what I did was just ensorce you.
06:26 Number five, Annette lets her former tormentor burn.
06:30 Castlevania Nocturne.
06:33 You better run, little girl.
06:39 [WHISTLING]
06:41 Run.
06:42 Run as fast as you can.
06:44 Annette spent her early years enslaved
06:46 and afraid of committing any offense against those
06:49 who imprisoned her.
06:50 Despite her best efforts to stay under the radar,
06:53 the cruel vampire Vaublanc broke into her home
06:56 and killed her mother in front of her eyes.
06:59 Years later, Annette discovered she had magical abilities
07:02 and fled enslavement.
07:04 She honed her skills until she encountered Vaublanc again.
07:08 Annette quickly overpowered the vampiric goon
07:10 and trapped him in a cage of crosses that burned him
07:13 with the slightest touch.
07:15 I know what your nightmares are made of.
07:18 I'm not the one in the cage.
07:19 While Vaublanc attempts to intimidate her,
07:26 she stands unfazed at the sunrises.
07:29 Although he tries to convince her that she still isn't free,
07:33 she ends up smiling outside the cage
07:35 he burns to death in during a very satisfying scene.
07:40 The sun is rising, devouring the darkness.
07:43 [SCREAMING]
07:47 It always does.
07:51 This is the natural order.
07:53 Number four, Prince Leechar blows up his father's assassin.
07:58 Star Wars, The Clone Wars.
08:00 From the moment Riff Tamsin arrived on Mankala,
08:03 he caused nothing but strife for the young royal.
08:06 I am dedicated to serving the Quarren as well as my own
08:10 people, the Mon Calamari.
08:12 Silence!
08:13 You haven't earned the right to speak at this gathering.
08:16 This villain threatened to enslave everyone in the kingdom,
08:20 killed the king, and tried to slay Prince Leechar
08:23 multiple times.
08:24 The royal initially had to be saved by other heroes,
08:27 but in the end, the prince had to fight Riff Tamsin alone
08:32 to protect his people.
08:33 Despite being physically outmatched,
08:35 the royal manages to steal one of his enemy's
08:38 explosive daggers.
08:39 That twist doesn't stop Riff from gloating.
08:42 I killed your father without pity or mercy.
08:46 Then I'll return the favor.
08:49 However, the prince silences his foe
08:52 by throwing the blade into the villain's shoulder
08:55 and shooting it so it instantly explodes.
08:57 For all Riff's talking about being a predator,
09:00 he still fell prey to an enemy who deserved justice.
09:05 The day is won!
09:08 Long live the prince!
09:09 Long live the prince!
09:11 Number three, Leonardo slices Shredder,
09:14 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
09:16 And Leo, give Shredder a couple of hits from me.
09:20 Splinter raised his four sons to be strong fighters
09:23 that could face anything.
09:25 But even he couldn't prepare them for the moment
09:28 that the dangerous Super Shredder struck him down.
09:30 Hungry for revenge, the Turtles and their allies
09:33 went on a single-minded mission to end the villain.
09:36 After fighting their way through the base,
09:38 the four brothers faced off against Super Shredder together.
09:41 - You're not so tough, cheese grater!
09:43 We got you.
09:45 Tonight, it ends!
09:47 - But the super villain whittles the team down
09:49 until it was just Leonardo left.
09:51 After the hero got backed into a corner,
09:54 he sees Splinter's spirit.
09:56 The vision encourages Leonardo to push past his limits
09:59 and fatally wound Shredder.
10:01 And just in case anyone doubted that he got the job done,
10:05 the hero brings stone-cold proof to his cathartic victory.
10:08 - Shredder is finished.
10:11 - Number two, the ocean spirit takes Zhao's life,
10:16 Avatar The Last Airbender.
10:18 - The Fire Nation will for generations tell stories
10:20 about the great Zhao who darkened the moon.
10:24 Since waterbenders draw their power from the moon,
10:27 firebender Admiral Zhao decided to sever their connection
10:30 to the cosmic satellite.
10:32 The twisted villain achieved this
10:34 by killing an innocent spirit in front of the heroes.
10:37 In a tragic moment, a young princess gave her life
10:40 to bring the moon back.
10:42 While the sacrifice proved successful,
10:44 the ocean spirit wasn't satisfied.
10:47 It wasted no time finding Admiral Zhao
10:49 and ensnaring him with water.
10:52 - It can't be!
10:54 (dramatic music)
10:57 - Although the prince tries to help him,
11:04 the villain accepts his fate and is poured underwater.
11:07 This death was already gratifying for fans
11:10 who loathed the wicked general,
11:12 but the scene got even better in hindsight
11:15 when we later learned that Zhao had been sentenced
11:18 to internal torment in the spirit world.
11:21 - I am Zhao the Conqueror.
11:23 - I am the Moon Slayer.
11:25 I will capture the Avatar.
11:27 - Hopefully we're not trapped in here as long as that guy.

11:44 - Number one, Jack destroys Aku, Samurai Jack.
11:50 - I am the lost son of the land that you have pillaged.
11:53 I am here to reclaim it for my people,
11:57 for my father, for my birthright.
12:00 (laughing)
12:02 Fool!
12:02 - Just as a brave swordsman was about to kill the evil Aku,
12:07 the demon flung the hero into the far future.
12:10 This left the samurai desperate to return to his home
12:13 to stop the enemy.
12:15 For over 50 years, the samurai who was nicknamed Jack
12:19 had to fight for his life to get back home.
12:22 All the while, Aku constantly tormented the hero
12:25 and forced the swordsman to make impossible choices.
12:29 Jack nearly died dozens of times
12:31 before he finally got back to the past.
12:33 - Boo!
12:34 - Goodbye for every--
12:35 - No!
12:36 - When the samurai plunged his sword into Aku's body
12:41 for the last time, we wanted to stand up and cheer.
12:45 Jack's successful revenge kill brought the entire series
12:49 to a satisfying conclusion.
12:51 - I felt him leave me.
12:53 - He will never hurt anyone ever again.
