Once this occurs Diva becomes interested in him. She infiltrates red shield rapes the young man only to give him her blood. This forces him to crystalize and die.

4. Admiral Akainu: One Piece
He is responsible for destroying a small part of my soul. By killing off my favorite character Ace, he’s clearly earned his spot on this list of antagonists. A fleet admiral of the marines, he believes a person’s blood dictates their actions in life; which is his reasoning behind killing Ace—son of Gol D Rogers and attempting to kill Luffy—son of the Dragon the Revolutionary. He is an extremist and will use any means necessary to accomplish his goal.
3. Frieza: Dragonball Z
An ultimate villain who has destroyed countless of planets and decimated scores of races on a whim Frieza has earned his spot. He is the prince and emperor of the universe. His battle with the Saiyans is the reason for Goku—our main protagonist arrivals on earth and ironically death.
2. Light Yagami: Death Note
Light started off as the main protagonist of the story. He was living a rather monotonous life until he discovered the death note. A book notebook from the realm of the gods with the power to kill anyone he way he desires. It is with this ideology that he sets out to create the perfect world without criminals. With the ultimate power in hand and going to his head, Light slowly involves into the antagonist in this game of cat and mouse.
1. Shou Tucker: Fullmetal Alchemist
Known as the sewing-life alchemist he became infamous for producing a chimera capable of human speech. He’s not necessarily a main antagonist of the story; however, the crime he commits against his own daughter a four-year-old little girl makes him worthy of the number one spot. SPOILER ALERT! He merges his little girl’s life with that of her dog creating another talking chimera. It is then revealed that he killed his first wife to produce the first chimera he gained notoriety for. Anyone who is willing to kill their own wife and child for the sole purpose of research deserves the number one spot on our list of top antagonists.
