Underneath that, Alucard is envious of humans. There are some instances that show him respecting them yet there are those he loathed too. Of course, they all ended up brutally massacred by him.
7. Ladd Russo From Baccano!
A chatty murderer who finds amusement in killing people. He loves to kill people who are deemed ‘untouchable’ or ‘invincible’, finding all of it as an entertainment. He even thanks people he has killed for the entertainment.
Though don’t judge a book by its cover, while Ladd looks like your ordinary ‘brawn over brains’ type of person, he’s not a mindless killer. He’s an instantaneous person, goal oriented and relentless in achieving his victories. As killing is his most fun hobby he can indulge himself to.
6. Shigaraki Tomura From My Hero Academia
The main antagonist of the series, the direct mirror of our protagonist, Midoriya Izuku. Shigaraki has no qualms in killing the innocents, has shown a deep hatred for All for One and heroes in general, as he just wants to see them burn.
Having the personality of a ‘man-child’, he’s dependent, arrogant and selfish, even throwing tantrums and hurting himself or others when things don't go his way.
5. Yuno Gasai from Future Diary
The epitome of psychotic, the girl who made yandere a well known term. She will kill anyone who dares to touch or even look at the love of her life, Yuuki. To the point she purposefully secluded him from his friends and kidnapped him to prove that he doesn't need anyone else except her.
The length she goes for love is undoubtedly admirable yet disturbing. Her intelligence and strength isn’t something to be questioned either, as she knows different types of ways to kill someone. In a death survival game with unpredictable foes, her assistance and support might make you emerge victorious, if only you’re her Yuuki that is.
4. Junko Enoshima From Danganronpa
The mastermind behind the school killing game. Only a madwoman would put her classmates together in a deadly killing game against each other. Despair is what she truly aimed and revels in, she won’t stop until hope is lost.
Just like any mastermind, she’s cunning and intelligent. She’ll use any methods available to feel despair as she stated it’s the only emotion she enjoys. Despite all that, she’s able to feel love and care for people, even if she ended up killing them to feel greater despair.
3. Nui Harime from Kill La Kill
Don’t let her cutesy, kawaii appearance fool you, she’s much more dangerous than she seemed. She’s manipulative and powerful enough to undress one of Satsuki Kiryuin’s Elite Four with just a flick of her finger! There's nothing that satisfy her except violence and chaos, without it, she tends to get really bored and seek to one in a sadistic nature. All that sweetness lies a dangerous persona, as she's also the type to hold grudges too.
All in all, Nui isn't the person you'd like to mess with. Her childlike, jovial and happy go lucky manner is just one of her ploy to torture or perhaps destroy you for the sake of Ragyo Kiryuin’s goals.
2. Shiro from Deadman Wonderland
Up front, Shiro is a bubbly and clumsy girl. She has a childlike personality and acts like one too. Her love for sweets, especially cookies, is what keeps her energy high up almost all the time. Overall, Shiro is a sweet girl, willing to help Ganta at his lowest point and save him from near death situations without regard to her own safety.
But behind all this, lies a tortured and traumatized child who has been experimented on. Due to her past, she developed a second personality dubbed as “The Wretched Egg” or the “Red Man.” This personality is cruel and sadistic with disregard of anyone’s lives which is a polar opposite of who Shiro is.
1. Midari Ikishima From Kakegurui
She’s masochistic with suicidal tendencies. She has little disregard betting money as long as it has the risk of her being at harm. She’s very persistent, overbearing and impulsive, tends to have little restraint and not think of the consequences that might come after.
Her obsession with Jabami Yumeko is on a whole another level. It’s infatuation yet she adores and looks up to her. Midari kept a picture of Yumeko on her phone, sometimes getting excited at the thought of her just looking at her.
