25 Best Anime Supervillains Of All Time

Madara of the Uchiha Clan was your classic child ninja prodigy, mastering chakras, gunbais and Sharingans and ninjutsus as he went until that age-old thirst for power came a’knockin’.

A now legendary figure among the Uchihas, Madara was there at the inception of Konohagakure, and in a series that’s so heavily aware of history’s influences, that’s no small deal.

Anyone who can take on a Nine-Tailed Beast is tough; anyone who can hold his own against all of them at once you know hasn’t been sticking to a regulation supplement regime. In fact, at his most powerful the task was made to look rather routine.

Madara is revered alongside God Shinobi Hashirama Senju, his fellow Konoha founder, as one of the most powerful ninjas ever to have existed, a character whose conviction to achieve his villainous goals comes across in every action.
