Line 33:
{{examples}}
==
=== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ===
* Evangeline from ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''
Line 122:
* 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]]''.
Line 213:
* 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.
== Well-Intentioned Anti-Villains ==
=== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ===
* Pain, Konan and {{spoiler|Itachi}} of ''[[Naruto]]''
Line 297:
=== [[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.
* Dr. Horrible from ''[[
=== [[Western Animation]] ===
Line 305:
* 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]]''.
Line 330:
** Ivan from ''[[Digimon Savers]]'', who kills Digimon to earn money to support his mother and his many siblings. He's a stark contrast with his boss [[Mad Scientist|Kurata]], who is a bonafide [[Complete Monster]].
* Pantherlily, and Erza old comrades from ''[[Fairy Tail]]''
* The title character of ''[[Squid Girl]]''. First of all, her threat of invading and taking over the surface world isn't taken very seriously by other characters (except [[Only Sane Man|Nagisa]]). And even if she ''tries'' to actually invade the surface, she would easily be defeated the entire military from many different countries that would put her under control. Oh wait, you don't ''need'' a military to do that, because it only takes ''[[Beware
* Chao Lingshen from ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''. She's such an [[Anti-Villain]], in fact, that Negi had actually considered letting her complete her plan.
* ''[[Ratman]]'' is a [[Villain Protagonist|protagonist]] version, and is actually a superhero [[Otaku]] who is only a "dark hero" because he was tricked into joining Jackal, an [[Oddly Small Organization]] of rather goofy and nonthreatening villains. Since his missions have him breaking the law and put him at odds with the Hero Association (especially the more [[Jerkass]] heroes), he's a criminal, but takes every opportunity he can to use his powers to help people.
