Favourite Anime Hero/Villain

[Solace_Forever]

...Who is your Favourite Anime Hero/Villain?

When i say favourite villain i mean the most evil one you've ever seen and does its job well and you like it.

I've seen Dragonball Z and my favourtite hero is obviously Goku but my favourite villain is i think Cell or frieza.

[Fury]

Hero:
1) Naruto (Naruto)
2) Ash Ketchum (Pokemon)
3) Yugi (Yu-Gi-Oh)

Villain:
1) Team Rocket (Pokemon)
2) Seto Kaiba (Yu-Gi-Oh)

For favorite villian will have to go with Sir Vicious from Cowboy Bebop, as the leaders of Red Dragon say- his heart is so cold its black. Victor from the movie seems pretty heartless, only his back story is sad and I felt more sorry than fearful of the character. Hero-Cain of Trinity Blood.

Personally, it's Team Rocket (particularly James ; as stereotypical as this may sound, I'll admit I'm still a teenage girl) all the way. Can you even call them villains ?
Harley from Pokémon is another favorite. So wonderfully effeminate and deceitful.

I haven't got any favourite hero though... I've never been one for heroes.

[Tenshi]

Just a few from the zillions of anime I watched:

Heroes:
- Kyo (Fruits Basket)
- Toshiro (Bleach)
- Trunks (DBZ)
- Quatre Winner (Gundam)
- Misty (Pokemon)
- Sailor Mercury (Sailor Moon)

Villians:
- Grimmjow (Bleach)
- Ulrquiorra (Bleach) I am sure that I spelled that wrong
- Vegeta (DBZ) when he was still a villian
- Treize Khushrenada (Gundam)
- would like to say Jesse & James for Pokemon, but they started to annoy me long time ago, so ... Butch & Cassidy
- Saphir (don't know the English name)

I love the character of Lucy, also, but I would consider her a villain. It is interesting how people see things differently!

She's the main character, so she can't be a villian. In every story, evil or not, the main character is the hero. Besides, Lucy was more of a victim than a villian. I'd consider the General Director and his son to be the villians. Even Mariko becomes more of an anti-hero than a villian at the end. In fact, pretty much all of the villians that I have listed are anti-heroes rather than villians, Sesshoumaru and Suigintou especially.

I think Lucy is too complex with her split personalities to be either completly Hero or villian.

Mariko I consider a full villian as she was never on the good side and didn't show any positive aspects.

[Sugino3]

Heroes:
Naruto (Naruto)
L (Death Note)
Gohan (Dragon Ball Z, Dragonball GT)

Villains:
I'm really not sure where to put Light Yagami, but I'm pretty sure it would be here; no matter how noble his intentions are, what he did was still evil, so...

Light Yagami (Death Note)
Sasuke Uchiha, but I'm not sure where to put him either (Naruto)
Cell (DBZ)

I never heard that point of view before, but I'm choosing to believe that the protagonist is not necessarily a hero.

From Naruto I also love the hero Naruto and the villain Itachi.

[Hysteria]

Hero:
Kakashi (Naruto)
Dante (Devil May Cry)
Rukia (Bleach)

Villain:
Orochimaru (Naruto)
Light (Death Note)

[Yliatas]

My favorite characters would be:
Alucard (Hellsing)
Walter (Hellsing)
Integral (Hellsing)
Isaak (Trinity Blood)
Gwendal (Kyou Kara Maoh)
Kakashi (Naruto)

[evapotter]

well my favorite hero is obviously L from Death Note (I miss him!!!!) but i also like Edward Elric from FullMetal Alchemist ^^

my favorite villain is...Kira/Light Yagami from Death Note, too

[LewsTherin]

Hero:
Claes & Triela (Gunslinger Girl)
Mirielle Bouquet (Noir)
Vincet Law (Ergo Proxy)
The Rahxephon/Ixtli (Rahxephon)

Villian:
Maya Kamina (Rahxephon - although, in the end, she's not really a villian)
I dunno, it's tough to choose villians, as the anime I've seen don't really have them.

[Mugglewizard]

Heroes
Himura Kenshin (Rurouni Kenshin)
Naruto (Naruto)
Jiraiya(Naruto)

Villains
Orochimaru(Naruto)
Pain(Naruto) Esp after manga 383


I don't know where to put Light though form Death Note

[Artemis_Fowl_2]

I love Chloe from Noir. She's not exactly a hero and she kills lots of people so I guess she's a villain, but she was always pro Kirika. I'm not sure what you'd call her but I like her character.

I'd call her a hero, or an anti-hero of sorts. She's certainly not evil, just a too innocent girl who is in way over her head.
