 * Director Kakuzawa - His one mitigating quality was that he loved his daughter enough to ensure she'd survive and be freed for her experimental monster form after it was destroyed, but this is implied to be something he'd done long in the past when he first started experimenting on her. In the present day, he regards her only as a precious experiment and seems to have forgotten his affection for her as his child. He's also shown to have never truly loved his "son", whom he'd molded into a clone of himself to start with, and only values his research and upholding his family's name. Thus he's left with no truly redeeming features and actions that are sufficiently heinous by the standards of the story, being in fact responsible for most of the story's conflicts.


 * Mayu's Stepfather - While he lacks much in the way of characterization, his actions are similar to the Unknown Man's but on a much smaller scale and lacking in resources. But they're still truly vile and heinous by the work's standards, and enough so by objective standards to get him qualified for this trope.


 * Tomoo - He's depicted as a xenophobic, sociopathic fledgling Serial Killer who delights in causing pain to others just because he can. Since he's an orphan kid, he lacks a setting and resources to go all out, but he causes a serious amount of damage to Lucy's psyche with what he's able to do. He shows no redeeming qualities and is positioned as being truly inhuman at heart, and since his actions helped shape Lucy's Start of Darkness, he passes the series' heinous standard.
