10 Greatest Ever Anime Villains
5. Ai Magase (Babylon)
The newest villain on this list, Babylon isn't even over yet and we already feel comfortable in calling its main antagonist, Ai Magase, one of the all time great anime baddies.
The perfect antagonist to Babylon's heroes, all of whom are prosecutors and lawyers working out of an experimental new prefecture in Japan, Ai is a prostitute whose charisma stat is so high, her preferred method of murder is to talk people into committing suicide. And if you doubt her abilities, early on in the show she manages to convince a dozen people to leap off of a building on live television, falling to their deaths with an ear to ear grin on all of their faces.
Since they're killing themselves, it's hard for our heroes to build any kind of case against her. And when they try hitting her with accessory to suicide, in comes her accomplice, the new mayor of the city, to make suicide completely legal. Effectively making Ai untouchable.
Again, the show isn't over yet, so it's unclear where the show is going with this. But considering the staff's previous work was Kado: The Right Answer, Ai's scheme is more than likely just getting started and we haven't even seen how weird it is yet.
