10 Most Hate-Worthy Villains From Animated TV Shows

7. Frieza - Dragonball Z/Dragonball Super

Genocide mixed with banter. That statement alone should sum up why Frieza is on this list and why deserves nothing but all our hate.

Despite being a franchise not renowned for developing its characters, Dragon Ball definitely took its time easing Frieza into the storyline. They spent entire arcs just teasing and building up his destructive potential, so that when it was finally time for him to throw-down, the audience was filled with both excitement and terror.

This diminutive being of power and malice controls a large galactic empire, has wiped entire planets from existence out of pure whim and is so blinded by pride that nothing can make him admit defeat, not even literal death.

As evil as he was, this went up to another level when the audience got a taste of full banter mode Frieza in Dragon Ball Super and especially in the movie Dragon Ball Super Broly. Now he won’t just eradicate your civilization, he will also turn the scene into a really bad punchline.

After battling Galactus and pinning Hulk Hogan in the main event of Wrestlemania, I've taken a break from living in fantasy worlds, to focus on writing about them. I'm a comic book geek, a wrestling mark, a break dancer, and a scientist. One of those things may not be true.
