What makes a good anime/manga Villain?!
Anime: Onepiece Marshall D Teach aka Blackbeard!
So what does it take to be a great anime villain? The common question that seems to come to mind is.. Does it depend on how evil the villain is? How evil his or her intentions are? Or how evil the overall
goal of the villain is? Questions, questions, questions, but what do you think makes a good anime villain?
Anime: Naruto Name: Orochimaru
What we would have to take in account is the impact of the villain; some villains make more of an impact than the actual protagonist. How strong is their goal, what lengths will they go to achieve? The villain's background? Was he evil from birth or turned evil through a series of events?
Anime: Legacy Of The Sky Name: War
Strength and fighting techniques are also things we tend to take into account when judging anime villains! The villain will usually have such strength which makes his own goal achievable... which then increases the reader's attention, by wondering how the protagonist will defeat the almighty evil tyrant.
Anime: Dragonball Z Name: Frieza
The villain usually turns out to have a vast amount of intelligence while the protagonist stands a chance through his/her head strong personality, this cliched theory has been used in many animes. It's a theory I would not change as it usually does the job. Especially for popular successful animes.
Anime: Bleach Name: Aizen sosuke
The personality of the villain sometimes helps with their popularity, the most successful villain characters will often have a good sense of humour, that gives a comedy edge to a ruthless killer.
Anime: Yu Yu Hakusho Name: Sensui
Above are some of my favourite anime villains: they all share similar personalities, have a strong goal and are willing to obtain their goal using any means necessary. All are strong villains with great fighting techniques. All do their fair share to carry their respective anime.

Teammates and companions of the Protagonist!! What does it take to be a popular Deuteragonist and Tritagonist?!
Movie/Novel: Harry Potter Left: Hermoine Granger Right: Ronald Weasley
The love/hate relationship Harmoine Granger and the jealous Ronald Weasley played throughout the Harry Potter Legacy, made these two, two of the most famous most famous deuteragonist and tritagonist ever. The protagonist Harry Potter was often left in the middle of his classmates trivial arguments between each other.
The saying opposites attract was quite the case with these two love birds. Hermoine Granger daughter of muggles Mr & Mrs Granger both dentists in London. Often had to deal with bullying as she was not a full blooded wizard. Her head strong and self determination often overcame the lack of respect she was given from her fellow classmates and piers. In her spare time she would study and revise spells and gain knowledge in the library. Often ridiculed by Ron for doing this.
Ronald, who was a pure blood wizard. The son of Arthur and Molly Weasley, never had to deal with discrimination or segregation from his classmates unlike Hermoine did. His attitude towards wizardry and learning spells was a very laid back approach. Yet his undercover love for Hermoine did not go unoticed by the rest of his friends, yet Ron believed otherwise. His love for Hermooine often lead him into dangerous situations, which would shock the character who did not hwield the same courage as his best friend Harry.
Novel: Legacy Of The Sky Left: Estrella Right: Zenith
This Dynamic duo were often at loggerheads when they first met. Usually being able to agree on one thing, the stupidity and selfishness of protagonists Janus. After travelling together, Estrella and Zenith developed more of respect for one another and became reliable teammates to each other.
Estrella a captain of the shinning sun, one of the youngest ever at that. Daughter to the great General Blaze. Estrella having one of the hardest upbringings ever, Taught vigorously in the art of combat by her father Blaze, envious of her cousin Princess Saffron who was taught to embrace her feminine side. Estrella takes a quick liking to Janus as soon as she engages into a duel with him! Tends to be put of by his stupidity and laid back attitude. A love triangle also made this tritagonist popular after constant bickering and jealousy towards her cousin Saffron over Janus.
Zenith a mysterious pier to Janus.. Not much is known about his past! The story starts by showing a strong companionship between him and Janus, Zenith takes more of a father/mentor role to Janus. Zenith being incredibly wise and strong. He also seems to have a vast knowledge of the world which sometimes has people questioning Zenith's past. This deuteragonist was made popuar through his great mentoring skills and advice he gives to Janus.
Update coming soon!!
