Sliding Scale of Anti-Villains: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

=== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ===

* Evangeline from ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''

* Tom of ''[[Tom and Jerry]]'', [[Depending on the Writer]]. Although he does get sadistic pleasure out of tormenting Jerry and at the beginning of some shorts is shown doing so, in other shorts he's really only forced to go after Jerry by his owner. Jerry does his share of provoking their battles as well, sometimes to the point of [[Disproportionate Retribution]], and sometimes even just because he feels like it.

 

=== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ===

* Fate Testarossa in the first season of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]''.

* An interesting subversion/deconstruction of this character type can be found in [[Big Bad|Demona]] of ''[[Western Animation]]/Gargoyles''. She's certainly got enough nuance and tragedy in her backstory to qualify her as a [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]], but at the same time she has both the motive and means to do probably the most large-scale damage of any villain in the [[Rogues Gallery]] and her obsession with getting revenge for her own pain has blinded her to the fact that she's spent the last milennium just digging herself in deeper.

 

=== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ===

* Pain, Konan and {{spoiler|Itachi}} of ''[[Naruto]]''

=== [[Web Original]] ===

* {{spoiler|Jaffers}} and the obstacles {{spoiler|(except for [[That Dude in the Suede|Suede]] at the end of part 5)}} in ''[[Suburban Knights]]'' just want to protect the gauntlet from {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|Malecite]] so that he cannot pose a threat to our technology-dependent world}}. In the process, however, they're willing to fight and kill anyone also looking for the gauntlet in order to prevent that from happening.

 

=== [[Western Animation]] ===

* Valerie Gray from ''[[Danny Phantom]]'', if you don't view her as a [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type III and/or IV]] [[Anti-Hero]].

 

=== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ===

* Haku from ''[[Naruto]]''.
