* A running gag in ''[[Ranma Abridged|Ranma 1/2: The Abridged Chronicles]]'' is the old folks living in the town who seek world domination. At first it was just Ranma's suspicions that one old lady was up to no good, but later several senior citizens gathered outside were plotting to "strike at midnight," and another attempted to kill Ryoga after he found her a good spot from which to plot world domination.

* Dr. Gero from ''[[Dragon Ball]] Z/GT''.

** In the earlier ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', Piccolo Daimao originally looked ancient and wrinkled like an old prune. This didn't stop him from [[Curb Stomp Battle|completely dominating]] Goku in their first encounter; when he got his youth back thanks to the Dragon Balls, well, [[It Got Worse]].

* Szilard Quates of ''[[Baccano]]!''. Evil deeds including but not limited to betraying a shipload of people who trusted him, enslaving a [[Our Homunculi Are Different|homunculus]] of his creation on pain of death, and "[[You Will Be Assimilated|devouring]]" people's minds left and right to increase his own knowledge. Possibly lampshaded in that he once rationalizes some of his behavior by noting his distrust of young people. Quates' [[Battle Butler]] notes that he is quite likely the oldest person on earth (which means that he distrusts/will do badly by ''everyone else'').

* For the first three arcs of ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'', Kinzo isn't portrayed quite so much as evil as he is [[Love Makes You Crazy|crazy]] and [[Evil Is Not a Toy|desperate]]. Then comes the fourth arc, and he definitely [[Love Makes You Evil|crosses that boundary]]. {{spoiler|By the end of the arc, though, it's subverted, since Kinzo was dead the entire time}}.

* In ''[[The Tower of Druaga (anime)|The Tower of Druaga]]: The Sword of Uruk'', we learn that {{spoiler|King Gilgamesh is immortal, as his mortal self was sealed atop the tower. As he grows older, his heart grows colder, until he becomes a cold-blooded tyrant who slaughters his own citizens.}}
