10 Most Hate-Worthy Villains From Animated TV Shows
5. Charles Zi Brittania - Code Geass
A monarch whose official national policy is racism. What else is left to say about this genocidal dictator?
In his early days Charles was simply a child born into nobility, whose family were constantly threatened with political assassinations. Things changed when he obtained the mysterious power of Geass that allowed him to alter or erase the memories of anyone who looked into his eye.
Aided by his brother VV, he rose through the ranks before eventually ascending to the throne of the Holy Britannian Empire. From thereon, he unleashed a reign of devastating war and terror on the whole world. His forces annexed nation after nation, all under the infuriating notion that their racial superiority gave them the right to do so.
What’s more, he wasn’t just out for land and wealth. His true vision for the world was far deadlier. Using the ancient primordial power that grants Geass users their abilities, he wanted to do a Gendo Ikari and suck everyone’s consciousness into a single amalgam; thus ending the world as we knew it.
Yet again, one deciding his own experiences gave him the right to choose the fate of the world. Detestable.
