Villain in Anime Series

 I love anime (Japanese cartoon series) since I was a child back then. For me it was somehow fascinating to watch someone's imagination and fantasy came to life. Just similar to life, anime series depicted a story which somehow related to life itself or mimicking parts of it. Especially in terms of good and bad, human desires and ambition, etc. In this post I will only write about some villains in some anime series I've watched or at least read in manga (Japanese comic).

There are several characters as seen in the drawing I've made for this post, such as (from top left to right bottom order) Aizen from Bleach, Griffith from Berserk, Makima from Chainsawman, Cossette from Le portrait de petit Cossette, Eren from Attack on Titan, Pain from Naruto, Kaname from Vampire Knight, and Sukuna from Jujutsu Kaisen. 

These villains were villains with different purposes and reasons. Some were manipulative and bad from the beginning, some were driven by their backgrounds and pitiful fate they've gone through and some were forced by their own condition to turn bad in the process. One thing in common out of all is they were mostly powerful.

Somehow I personally can relate with them in a way of picturing them as characters of some normal human can be in reality. Apart from how evil they were, they live for a purpose in the story.    

   

ANIME PRODIGY CHARACTERS: ITACHI - YORIICHI - L

In every anime I've watched, there is always a prodigy character with special skill or talent that will be loved by anime fans no matter how the ending would be for them in the main story. I chose these 3 characters from 3 different anime which I think shares the same trait and vibe throughout their own anime series. There might be more than just  these 3 but for now, I will write only about them.

Firstly, Uchiha Itachi. The Akatsuki member, the prodigy from his clan and his village, mysterious, powerful but hold a tragic life of being misunderstood because he sacrifice his clan for the sake of peace. He was literally intimidating to everyone around him and that was the most admiring part from his character. Although his ending was death after fighting his own little brother in his dying state, he was famous and loved by fans for he might truly won if he was in his normal condition. Quiet, handsome and unpredictable were some of the obvious part of his character too. I love his character until I drew him many times since the first time he appeared in the Naruto series back then.

The next one would be Tsugikuni Yoriichi. The prodigy from Demon Slayer anime series. He was the legacy in demon slayer corps, the most powerful ever to exist until Muzan himself as the main villain, developed the PTSD after fighting him and nearly killed in the process if he didn't manage to getaway. Yoriichi was a selfless, kind and talented character that came from a noble family and tried to be the black sheep in his family for his twin brother who felt unrivaled by him. He lost everything but he stayed kind 'til the end of his life. the only thing that defeated him was age and not any enemy. He was also the quiet, handsome, mysterious with a super talent no one in the series can ever surpassed even it is the main character himself. I loved him after learning his story in the anime and drew him several times and one of them with Itachi.

The last one would be L or  Lawliett from Deathnote Anime Series. The quiet, mysterious and truly smart man with weird gestures who tried to help to solve the murder cases done by Light Yagami. He was unfairly killed after solving the cases and then provoking the coward villain for his crimes. His legacy lived on and carried out by his successors, M and N. His panda eyes due to lack of sleep, wearing white long sleeve t-shirt and jeans also the way he sat on the chair while weirdly holding the teacup was one of the noticeable signature from him. I just like him for being somehow look like a smart weirdo but nonetheless still intimidating for his enemies.

    

 

Villains who never won in Cartoon Series: Wile E Coyote & Droopy

Classic cartoons that I'm familiar with, tend to show the black and white, good and bad clearly by showing which one is the good one and which one is the bad one. And the bad one always the loser.

The same goes with these two classic cartoon series of Wile E Coyote and Droopy. Wile E Coyote is obviously a coyote who never stop chasing the blue bird as his prey and came up with a bunch of tricks to do so. However, he keeps failing and failing to catch it no matter what.

Meanwhile Droopy is a sheriff who has the duty to catch the wolf as the criminal. The wolf always tried to escape and also do something to harm him but always failed. 

It is as simple as that. It kind of different with nowadays cartoon with more shady grey characters. Anyway, I would still enjoy the cartoon as a lighthearted  entertainment.

These are my fan art drawing for the 2 series.
