00:00 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the cruelest anime characters
00:13 who got the right kind of karma.
00:16 20.
00:17 An Eye for an Eye – Goblin Slayer
00:20 After walking into an enemy ambush, Priestess gets some very unwanted attention from a frisky
00:26 goblin.
00:27 Fortunately, his comeuppance is quick and ruthless.
00:30 In response to Priestess' screams, Goblin Slayer leaps into action and gives the monster
00:35 something to squeal about.
00:43 First by strangling him with a tether made of human hair, and then by plucking out one
00:48 of the goblin's eyes altogether.
00:54 You know it's morbid when even the other goblins decide it's best to stay clear.
00:59 Priestess may leave a bit shaken up, but at the very least, no one's going to risk going
01:03 near her again for a very, very long time.
01:09 19.
01:11 Humiliation Conga Line – Baki
01:14 Eli Jr. just can't catch a break today, but then again, that's what you get for
01:18 being an arrogant jerk.
01:20 It all started when Jack Hanma knocked him down a few pegs in a one-on-one.
01:24 Afterwards, Eli got his face pounded in by Goki too, and then Doppo, and then pretty
01:33 much everyone else he's ever pissed off.
01:41 Even Eli Jr.'s own father decides to get in on the fun.
01:44 By the time he finally retires for the night, Jr.'s been KO'd by just about every member
01:50 of the main cast.
01:51 Next time, he should really make sure he has the bite to back up his bark.
01:59 18.
02:02 Ace in the Hole – One Piece
02:04 If there's any justice in Ace's death, it's that Whitebeard doesn't wait long
02:08 before becoming the judge, jury, and executioner.
02:24 Slimy as always, though, a kainu tries to slip away, but his fate eventually catches
02:29 up to him.
02:37 Mostly in the form of one jaw-dropping punch to the gut, that isn't your average blow
02:42 either.
02:43 It's all of Whitebeard's grief and rage poured into one attack, and the force of it
02:48 literally splits the ground in two.
03:03 Admiral or not, no one wants to be on the wrong side of a punch like that.
03:08 Although considering everything he did, it still feels like a kainu got off easy.
03:13 17.
03:15 Beat to the Punch – That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
03:19 There's a whole lot of people who want a crack at Shogo.
03:22 After all, he's personally responsible for the deaths of countless Tempest citizens.
03:26 That's a lot of pressure, but thankfully, Geld made everyone proud by delivering one
03:31 hell of a wince-inducing beatdown.
03:42 While the Orcs' mystical chaos eaters come out for support, most of the mauling boils
03:46 down to Geld's fist and Shogo's face.
03:54 In the end, watching the pitiful crook crawl back to his master is a victory in itself,
04:00 but it's even sweeter when he returns with more power, only to get his stuff handed to
04:04 him all over again.
04:09 Clearly, no one does vengeance quite like Geld does.
04:16 16.
04:17 Crushing Defeat – Jujutsu Kaisen
04:20 Hanami's first mistake was allying with Mojito's team of curses.
04:24 Their second was going after the young jujutsu sorcerers, and their last was thinking they
04:29 could take on Satoru Gojo.
04:32 Even with a three-on-one advantage, the jujutsu sorcerer proved that no one messes with his
04:36 students and gets away with it.
04:46 Using nothing more than the raw might of his domain expansion, Gojo flattened Hanami until
04:52 they were a fresh piece of graffiti on the wall.
04:56 It's not a very clean end, but it sure is satisfying.
05:08 Given how fast it all happens, it's clear that Hanami didn't just lose this fight;
05:13 they never even had a chance in the first place.
05:18 15.
05:21 Flatlining – Mobile Suit Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans
05:25 In a poetic way, Iok's narcissism was his own undoing.
05:36 Instead of taking the killing blow, he relished his victory with a hateful monologue about
05:41 his achievements, including the fact that he helped kill several of Akihito's comrades.
05:52 Turns out, that's exactly the motivation Akihito needs to finish this fight for good.
05:58 He stands up, takes the enemy's mech by the throat, and then proceeds to crush the
06:03 iron hull into bits, with its pilot still inside.
06:12 Iok can scream and cry all he wants; we're with Akihito on this one.
06:17 The only thing better than seeing Iok pop like a balloon is knowing that he lost to
06:21 his own hubris.
06:23 14.
06:24 The Grilling Grovel – Kaiji – Ultimate Survivor
06:28 Tanigawa bet it all on a life-or-death game of Icard, and lost.
06:33 However, the stakes were only deadly for his opponent.
06:39 So besides his life, what did Kaiji's smarts actually get him?
06:44 Witness to an apology, that's what.
06:46 Not a wimpy half-hearted one, either.
06:48 No, in order to prove his sincerity to his boss, Tanigawa had to grovel while pressing
06:54 his hands, knees and head into a flaming hot grill.
07:07 But even as he cries in pain, it's hard to feel any sympathy for the con artist.
07:12 Tanigawa is the one who challenged Kaiji in the first place, and he even tried to cheat
07:17 his way to victory, too.
07:19 Kaiji just cheated better, is all.
07:25 13.
07:28 Take Me to Church – The Rising of the Shield Hero
07:31 For a guy who led the Church of Three Heroes, Pope Biscus de Balmus needed some serious
07:37 divine intervention.
07:41 Thankfully, Naofumi and his band of colleagues were more than willing to do the honours.
07:49 Despite the Pope's dangerous magic, the Shield Hero eventually put an end to the villain's
07:54 corrupt reign.
07:55 Or, should we say, his all-powerful dragon summoning did.
07:59 Once Naofumi called upon his new friend, the Pope didn't even have time to pray before
08:04 he became dragon food.
08:11 The spell took a lot out of Naofumi, but it was oh-so-worth it to see Balmus finally meet
08:17 his maker – this time, permanently.
08:21 12.
08:23 Sowing the Seeds – Yu Yu Hakusho
08:26 Even in a tournament like this, it's common courtesy to keep all the fighting inside the
08:30 ring.
08:31 Doubly so if your opponent is someone like Kurama.
08:34 Despite that, Roto threatened Kurama's mother in order to get a few cheap shots in.
08:39 But, all his scheming does is plant the seeds for some blood-soaked payback.
08:53 Kurama doesn't even have to lift a finger.
09:00 Once his death plant latches on, it starts to drain Roto from the inside out.
09:05 It's gross, it's effective, and if Roto's begging is any indication, it's extremely
09:11 powerful too.
09:17 But most of all, it's fair.
09:19 Roto sealed his fate the moment he decided to use dirty tricks against Kurama.
09:24 11.
09:26 Envy Gets Fried – Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
09:29 Colonel Roy Mustang had the right idea.
09:32 Revenge is a dish best served grilled.
09:35 He practically devoted his life to avenging the murder of his fallen comrade, Mays Hughes.
09:40 It took a few arcs to track down the killer, but that just made Envy's fiery fate all
09:45 the more explosive.
09:52 Mustang roasts the homunculus alive, waits for them to regenerate, and then burns their
09:57 flesh off all over again.
10:02 It's a vicious cycle, and every second of it is downright glorious.
10:10 Blasting Envy can't completely fill the hole Mays Hughes left in the series, but seeing
10:15 Mustang blaze his way through the stages of grief comes pretty damn close.
10:26 10.
10:29 Leon Strikes Out – Danganronpa The Animation
10:33 Placed inside of a school setting, told you must kill to escape, and constantly plagued
10:39 by the wicked machinations of a robotic bear, someone was bound to crack.
10:45 Unfortunately for Leon, he just happened to be the one to get caught.
10:57 Thanks to some last-minute deduction by Makoto during the class trial, he discovers that
11:02 the baseball prodigy was the one that beat Sayaka to death.
11:12 While he would argue that it was all in self-defense on account of Sayaka being the one to attack
11:17 first, he could have just stopped wailing on her after the first swing, instead of permanently
11:23 ending her idol career.
11:24 The result?
11:25 Pelted to death with an endless barrage of baseballs.
11:29 Oh, the irony.
11:36 9.
11:41 Stunned by Frogs – JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stone Ocean
11:45 Prison life can be rough, but only in the world of JoJo could something like this occur.
11:51 Desperate to get her father's stand, which happened to be sealed in the shape of a disc,
11:56 out of prison and into the hands of the Speedwagon Foundation, Jolyne ran a literal gauntlet
12:02 only for her to be gunned down by one of Poochie's henchmen.
12:10 And then it starts raining frogs.
12:26 Thanks to his stand ability, Weather Reports is able to create a torrential downpour of
12:31 poisonous frogs – one that causes the gunman to bloat up to ridiculous degrees.
12:37 It's a nasty way to go, but that's what you get for shooting Best Girl.
12:46 8.
12:51 Re-Legless Destro – My Hero Academia
12:54 He may be a right bastard, but Shigaraki is the de facto supervillain of the pro-hero
13:00 landscape.
13:01 If he wasn't going to let a gangster like Overhaul put down the League of Villains,
13:05 then a Dr. Doofenshmirtz-looking weirdo like Re-Destro had no chance.
13:18 After coming to terms with the monster inside of him, Shigaraki embraces his destructive
13:23 urges with his improved quirk demolishing everything in sight, and in doing so liberated
13:29 Re-Destro from the use of his legs.
13:39 He breaks the former Grand Commander so badly, he practically becomes a Shigaraki simp.
13:48 7.
13:50 Pax Gets Broken In – Mushoku Tensei Jobless Reincarnation
13:55 Originally nothing more than a creepy gag character, this prince overstepped his boundaries
14:00 when he took his perversions towards Roxy to new heights.
14:04 Not only did he hold the families of his guards hostage, but planned to use Rudeus as bait
14:09 as a means to lure Roxy back so he could have his wicked way with her.
14:20 Thankfully, Rudey finds a way to inadvertently put Pax in his place by getting his older
14:28 brother to side with him.
14:37 An older brother with absurd strength, and no qualms about breaking Pax's various bones.
14:44 6.
14:47 Tetracyde – Black Bullet Sibling rivalry has never been so bloody.
14:52 Upon discovering that her brother had a hand in hiring those that dispatched their parents,
14:57 Kisara decides now would be a good time for her to become an only child.
15:08 Not only does she win her duel, but she also dispatches Kuzumitsu in the most gruesome
15:14 way.
15:18 Lopping off a leg is usually a nasty way to go, but then Kisara decides to push the envelope
15:23 further by splitting the bugger in half with a delayed slash.
15:28 Oof.
15:29 5.
15:30 Lou Proves He's Ready The world's finest assassin gets reincarnated
15:35 in another world as an aristocrat.
15:37 A legendary mercenary in his old life, Lou still had a way to go in order to demonstrate
15:43 his willingness to be an assassin after being reborn in a fantasy world.
15:48 His last trial?
15:50 Killer-captured criminal who just happens to look like a petrified young girl.
15:55 Of course, Lou being a man on a mission doesn't fall for her crying act, and instead lets
16:06 her bleed out.
16:10 Given how she reveals her true colours right after, it's fair to say she earned the knife
16:15 to the head.
16:29 4.
16:32 Swain Loses His Head – Vinland Saga
16:35 It was only so much that Ashland was gonna take.
16:38 You can dismiss him, you can look down on him, but the moment you threaten to invade
16:42 Wales, you've gone too far.
16:48 When King Swain demands that he makes a choice between Canute or his homeland, Ashland goes
16:53 to option three – decapitating the king in front of everyone.
16:58 While this does sign his own death warrant, it's just another demonstration of his incredible
17:03 character.
17:04 He's done that, and Swain seriously had it coming.
17:10 3.
17:12 Doctor Death – Akudama Drive
17:15 If fondness for surgeries and changing her own anatomy in the most extensive ways clearly
17:20 demonstrated that this Akudama had no issues using and losing lives on a whim.
17:31 In an effort to secure herself a passage out of a city gunning for her head, the Doctor
17:36 doesn't hesitate to kill and take hostages.
17:45 Fat load of good it did her, since a final act of courage by Hoodlum and the impromptu
17:50 arrival by a terrified crowd leads to her being trampled.
17:55 Pretty hard to stitch yourself up when your skull is caved in.
18:02 2.
18:03 Reina Doesn't Want A New Mama – Higurashi When They Cry
18:06 Time loops are pesky things.
18:09 You never know when one character is going to incarnate as sweet and dainty, or a ruthless
18:15 gold digger happy to strangle a little girl just to ensure she gets some of that moolah.
18:26 Ritsuko in this version is very much the former, one willing to take Reina out of the picture
18:32 so long as she can keep getting the money from her father.
18:45 Her ploys don't exactly end well when Reina gets her hands on a pipe and goes to town
18:51 on her would-be stepmother.
19:14 1.
19:15 Wank Gets Chopped – Darwin's Game
19:18 There are always losers in a battle royale, but there are also cheating bastards who are
19:24 willing to do whatever it takes to win, including killing innocent people just to puff up his
19:29 ego.
19:35 Wang is that kind of asshole.
19:37 After shooting down Shinozuka, Wang feels the full wrath of the Sunset Ravens when Shuka
19:42 and Kaname come for his head.
19:44 To be more accurate, they slice up his limbs with blade chains before Kaname unloads a
19:50 full clip into his face.
19:53 Game over.
20:07 -END TRANSCRIPT-
