Five series have featured a hero who eventually becomes the villain.

The source rating centers on five anime series in which the main characters do not continue as conventional heroes: Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, Shakugan no Shana, Attack on Titan, Death Note and Madoka Magica. It first places Leluch vi Britannia, followed by Yuji Sakai, Eren Yeager, Light Yagami and Homura Akemi.

Lelouch vi Britannia is about turning vengeance into a global play.

Code Geass is a masterpiece that mixes political drama and thriller. Its protagonist, Lelouch vi Britannia, seeks to avenge her father and destroy the kingdom of Britain. Her transformation is accelerated by a mysterious power from CC, who can shake the will of anyone who meets his eye.

Lelouch is described as just and dangerous. His motivations are compassionate, but no matter how selfish, he's willing to do anything to be cruel. Due to his brilliant intelligence, the world eventually turns in his favor by establishing himself as emperor. At the same time, he creates Zero, a vigilante and leader of the resistance who can take root for Japan.

Yuji Sakai crossed the line trying to end the violence.

Shakugan no Shana follows the story of Yuji Sakai, whose life is turned upside down when he becomes a Torch. He's not an JUST torch but instead has a rare treasure within him that makes him a prime target for a hostile group called the Crimson Denizens. Along with his guardian Shana and other Flame Hazes, Yuji struggles to find balance, initially portrayed as an ordinary hero who will sacrifice his own life and put others first.

The story becomes more complicated in the final season, when Yuji chooses to end the cycle of violence and unite with Denizen, the snake god of the festival for Shana's sake. However, his desire is confused with that of the Snake Knights, who become even more ruthless as they seek balance. By creating Xanadu, the main protagonist shows how far he has come, the source argues.

Eren Yeager has finally gone from promise to villain.

Attack on Titan is described as a name known around the world. Its early storyline leaves viewers with no time to rest: The Colossal Titan breaks through Wall Maria, allowing many Titans in and causing bloodshed.

The story follows Eren's transformation from Zero to Hero after he discovers that he is an Attack Titan and wants to help the humans win. But this battle isn't as easy as Humans versus Titans.

His choice to start the storyline is still heavily scrutinized many years after the end of Attack on Titan. The mention that Eren was preparing for important historical events has been described as one of anime's biggest plot twists.[citation needed] Regardless of how fans feel about the series' ending, a source called Eren's arc well-written and incredibly dark.

Light Yagami creates Kira as a selfish project.

Death Note is one of the best anti-heroes in anime. Its protagonist, Light Yagami, finds a titular notebook with strange rules. He embarks on a crusade to kill criminals and bring his version of justice into the world under the name iraKira.

He denies his wrongdoing and believes that his actions are right, but the audience can see them clearly. The murder of Lind L. Tailor is not for the good of mankind, and Light's journey has been called "the deepest and darkest villain arc in anime".

Homura Akemi darkens the savior from within the time loop.

In Maduka Magica, when viewers are introduced to Homura Akemi, she tries to prevent him from making a deal with Cuba and turning into a magical girl. A source then reveals that Homura is trapped in a time loop and has lived several times within the same month while trying to save Maduka from death.

Time loops affect Homer, and after repeatedly failing, the gentle and delicate girl sinks deeper. She finally proves that she is willing to do anything to save Maduka even by destroying the world, sacrificing her soul in the process". The source presents Homer as a character who has been misled by repetition and frustration rather than simple purpose.

Why does the ranking of main villains matter?

The source argues that series like Death Note break this pattern by creating more complex protagonists, allowing the characters to become villains. These villain-protagonist stories slowly shatter viewer's expectations and make fans realize just how corrupt the main character is. This process has sparked fierce debate among fans, but the sources say it makes the heroes more interested in the series because they are not actually heroic.

For readers, the ratings aren't just a list of dark characters. The anime shows how moral drift can be used as a storytelling engine: vengeance becomes control; protection becomes cruelty; justice becomes murder; and love becomes apocalypse. There is an enduring fascination in how far each protagonist can go before audiences call them heroes.
