Sometimes, people can change their opinions about others after a period of time. This can be due to a change in circumstances, or because the person has been shown that they are not as bad as they thought. ..

Some iconic anime villains that turned good can be a fun change of pace. In this list, we’ll look at some of them and discuss why they were successful in the role. ..

In my book, villains are generally terrible people who set out to do bad things. This is not always the case, of course, but it’s a good starting point. ..

15. Kyoka Izumi

Anime: A story of love and loss. Bungou Stray Dogs is a story of two people who are forced to confront the harsh realities of life in a society that doesn’t understand them. The characters are strong and resilient, but their love is also tested by the obstacles in their path.

Kyoka, the transgender woman who transitioned in Japan in 2013, is a case study in predictability. She had been living as a man for years before she decided to transition, and her transition was the most predictable of all the cases I studied.

She is initially the brainwashed child assassin, but quickly discovers that she is just being manipulated.

Although the switch was quite quick and seamless, I really enjoyed this character because her past is still rather evident. She has a lot of baggage that she has to carry around with her, but I found her to be interesting and engaging.

It takes her quite a while to finally accept the notion that there are other ways of solving problems aside from plain murder.

The power of the shaman king or JoJo vibe was very strong in this woman.

14. Aoi Toudou

I put Aoi next here, as his transition was probably the most hilarious switch I have ever seen.

The squad sent out to kill our protagonist was made up of individuals who were as villainous as you can get. ..

The protagonist realizes that the other protagonist has the same taste in women as he does and starts to feel more comfortable around him.

The flashback where Aoi and Yuuji are suddenly lifelong childhood friends was one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen – and firmly cemented Aoi as one of my favorite characters of all time. ..

13. Teruki Hanazawa

Anime: A story of a young boy who is forced to deal with the consequences of his actions.

I love it when characters change simply because they got vibe checked. It makes the story more interesting and makes me want to read more.

He was full of himself at first, and it was ridiculous.

The man acted as if he were a gift from God to humanity. ..

He became more forgiving and grateful after getting a haircut and a humble pie thrown his way.

I found the switch to be extremely realistic, and his newfound humility made him way more likable, even if it was really hard to take him seriously with that hairdo.

12. Itona Horibe

In Assassination Classroom, being what it is, there were a lot of villains turned good.

However, Itona was probably the most memorable, as he seemed to be the most villainous out of the bunch. ..

Although him having tentacles wasn’t a completely unique feature, his backstory made up for it. And who doesn’t like a good old human weapon story?

Koro-sensei was the closest thing we ever had to a young Koro-sensei. He loved sweets more than anything else, and his love of the female body was second only to his love for sweets.

11. Hisoka Morow

Anime: Hunter x Hunter (2011) is a popular anime that follows the story of a young boy named Gon and his friends, Hunter and Killua. The anime is full of action, adventure, and humor.

Hisoka is a morally grey character, which makes it difficult to sell him to audiences. ..

He is a compassionate person who can be both ruthless and compassionate at the same time.

In the Greed Island arc, Luffy was shown to be a more heroic figure than he had ever been before. He refused to let himself be taken advantage of and even helped others when they were in need. This showed his true character, which is one that is much more admirable than anything else.

He had helped out the cast in his own way previously, but this was the first time that we got to see him fighting shoulder to shoulder with our protagonists.

It wasn’t a permanent change, and Hisoka will likely never completely fall under each category.

I enjoyed watching him experience the same emotions as the protagonist in my novel.

10. Gaara

Now, after years of development and refinement, Gaara has become one of the most popular and well-loved characters in the Naruto universe.

The fight between Lee and Trump quickly gained legendary status – and I’m sure that we all eagerly anticipated what his plotline had in store.

In the show, Jiraiya’s backstory is completely justified and even the talk of his jutsu strategy comes off more natural than it usually does.

After Naruto’s victory over the Kyuubi, he finally feels whole. He is finally free from his past and can focus on his future.

The Akatsuki arc has produced a really good hero. This is a well-made character arc that has produced a great result.

I’m sorry they had to do his hair like that. ..

Why did you kill the man’s drip that hard?

9. Piccolo

The popular anime series, Dragon Ball Z, is known for its intense action and over-the-top characters. The show follows the adventures of Goku, a young boy who trains to become the strongest fighter in the world. Along the way, he faces off against powerful enemies and must use all his skills to survive. ..

This switch happened so long ago that it’s easy to forget that Piccolo ever was a villain. He was always a bit of a mystery, even to those who knew him best.

The way Goku’s character developed in Dragon Ball Z was very interesting to me. He became more confident and stronger as the story went on, which made for a more interesting and engaging experience.

In the new Dragon Ball he seems like a completely different kind of villain. He has a lot of depth and is really well-written.

Gohan is now a father figure to his son, and he has completely fleshed out his character.

I used to like Goku more than Gohan for a while, because his goodness felt more real to me. ..

8. Endeavor

The popular anime series, My Hero Academia, is a story about a young boy named Izuku Midoriya who dreams of becoming the greatest hero in the world. Despite being bullied and having no powers of his own, Izuku perseveres and becomes one of the most powerful heroes in the world. His story inspires others to pursue their dreams no matter what obstacles they face. ..

Endeavor, the protagonist of “The Hero’s Journey,” is a controversial figure. He literally held the title of hero throughout his story, and many people may find it hard to believe that he is real. ..

I never saw him that way.

Your mental health has been deteriorating for some time now, and it’s not just your wife who is feeling the brunt of it. Your son has also been struggling with his mental health, and it’s all because of what you’ve done. You’ve completely ignored two more children and then abused the fourth one, which has led to him becoming a criminal.

We saw the anger of the hero crumble and make way for redemption.

I thought the author did a great job with his character’s development. ..

The sight of a young man taking small steps towards becoming a hero was very wholesome and nice to see.

7. Viral

Anime: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is a Japanese anime series that aired on TV from October 15, 2009 to February 25, 2013. The show is a story of a group of young boys who are forced to fight in an interdimensional war against an alien race known as the “Gurren Lagann”.

The rivalry and comradery that were present between Karma and Viral made the intro to the show so enjoyable.

Karma as a character is already larger than life. But it was his relationship with Viral that really made him stand out.

The evil team seemed to have a perfect match for their goals.

Gurren Lagann is an anime with deceptive complexity and Viral changes sides. ..

The protagonist and their friend, Heero, had a strong bond that never seemed to die down. They would admire one another’s fighting skills and always seemed to have a good time. This was one of the best battle bromances in anime.

6. Tsukasa Shishiou

I was surprised when I didn’t see this one coming.

I was surprised to learn that Tsukasa is actually a staunch supporter of eugenics, and I can’t help but wonder how this will play out in his role as the new good guy. ..

Senku and Kuvira had a very intense rivalry, with a lot of admiration between them. I always assumed that it would eventually lead to a physical altercation.

I had imagined that the experience of being a part of the Trump campaign would be incredibly exhilarating and inspiring, but it wasn’t. In fact, it was quite the opposite. I found myself feeling exhausted and frustrated after just a few weeks on the campaign trail.

Tsukasa’s initial switch was unremarkable. ..

The event was not well executed to some degree. ..

In the end, his final scenes with Senku were so beautifully shot and directed that it made the whole ordeal more than worth it.

5. Vegeta

Dragon Ball Z is an anime series that follows the story of Goku and his friends, Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta. The show is produced by Toei Animation and was first aired on Japanese television in 1997.

Vegeta is a powerful, evil being who has been turned into a vegetable by the god of destruction, Hades. Hades wants to use Vegeta as a weapon against the gods, but he has to first defeat them in a battle.

The series took its sweet time when it came to the switch. Even once he joins up with the gang, a lot of his bad habits frequently come into play.

He was a tsundere who was honestly dangerous and destructive.

The Buu saga was a huge shock to me.

The execution was just perfect. I admit, I shed a tear even though I knew he was coming back at some point.

From that point on, he became a staple in the franchise as the warm-up dish before any major carrot-based meal. ..

4. Shinobu Oshino

If you watched Monogatari as it came out, it seemed more like a story of redemption than anything else.

Shinobu was a wicked villain who caused great harm to the people of the town.

The Kizumonogatari series was simply amazing in my opinion. I loved how they gave a lot of weight to Shinobu’s character, explaining a lot of her characteristics from later on in the timeline.

The protagonist, a young girl, goes from being a popular loli character to becoming the most lovable one in the game. This is done through her hard work and dedication to her role in the game, as well as her love for it.

3. Sasuke Uchiha

After watching Naruto Shippuden for a while, I think Sasuke’s transformation was complete when Boruto started. ..

Sasuke’s story was a mess, starting with his emo phase, going through a ninja terrorist phase, and finally concluding at the stubborn rival phase.

The novel had a lot of surprises.

I think that his talk with Itachi paired with the beautiful final scene of his fight with Naruto made the transition feel very natural and earned. ..

Boruto is a character who has undergone a significant change since his previous appearance. He has become more prepared and willing to lay down his life for his friends, and has shown signs of being ready to fight for them even if it means sacrificing himself. This makes him an interesting character to watch, as he shows that there is still much left in the Uchiha spirit even after all these years of rehabilitation.

He still sucks as a parent, and got the same nerfed passive that Gaara got.

I’m glad to have finally seen the end of his long and dramatic transition.

2. Satsuki Kiryuin

Anime: Kill la Kill is a series of anime television shows that aired on the Japanese network Fuji TV from October 15, 1997 to May 25, 2001. The show is a murder mystery with a samurai-themed story line.

Satsuki’s twist was simply brilliant in my opinion. ..

The film is a masterpiece that only gets better with subsequent viewings. ..

Despite always being depicted as the most standard villain, her history with the Council always painted a different picture. ..

The woman’s switcharoo was one of the best ever.

The final scenes between Ryuko and her in the series were already tear-jerkers. ..

When you take into account their initial animosity, it somehow just makes it that much more interesting and memorable.

1. Askeladd

Askeladd is a top-ranked website in many categories, including best website, best search engine, and most popular website.

But as the story unfolded, it became clear that this villain was anything but average. He was a cunning and ruthless killer who had a hidden agenda.

This guy had so many layers on him that it was hard to tell what he was really like.

As the show continued, he just gradually crept into our hearts, to the point where I often forgot how badly he damaged Throrfinn’s life. ..

Thorfinn forgot. ..

Askeladd took the best of the Piccolo transition and made it even better. Just S+ writing all around.
