Yagami Light's

is this bait?
>>154289503
That little bastard is so cute it hurts.
>>154289503
Definitely not that one.
>>154290859
How can Squealer be a villain if he did nothing wrong?
>>154290659
That anime was fucking amazing until zombies appeared.
>>154292053
did you mean the first 2 min of ep 1?
>>154290629
Why is Griffith so pretty?
>>154292076
yes
>>154289503
>>154290859
yes! and the heavy-lifting wasn't largely done with flashbacks
>>154290854
Blackbeard is gonna BTFO of this
Anthrax origin story was pretty original and a twist for the series, shame it was retconned later

I for one found Light's rise as very compelling. A seemingly ordinary man who sought a just world, going on an ego trip who could arguably have never actually done anything wrong. Too bad he was a high schooler, who relied on some overly absurd keikaku.
>>154289503
The one where he got NTRed and take revenge upon the world
>>154289503
Being the hero AND the villain is always kinda cool.

>narufag thinks his series is deep
>>154290659
Hands down one of the best character progression I have seen.
>>154291868
>HAHAHA LIFES GAME DUDE
No.
>>154290629
GRIFFIIIIIIIITH!

The whole point is that it's not.

What would the best villain origin story be like?
>>154297336
There's a currently airing OVA series about the roots of the most influential villain of the gundam UC Era that's really good.
>>154290791
Don't make me cry!

He dindu nuffin wrong!

>Light
>villain
what? i'm pretty sure he's the good guy in the anime
desu noto is shit tier anyway so who cares
>>154289503
Not that thing, they don't even really explain to you what he is very well.
>>154297844
>this entire fucking post
>>154289503
This is one of the worse ones. The villain needed to be human to fit with the themes of the story. Not some random monster.
Lil slugger is pretty good.
The witches in Madoka.
>>154297115
That doesn't give the character anymore weight, he's the same generic trope of "DOING IT FOR FUN"

You don't seem to understand the story but, above that, you don't seem to understand the point of this thread.
I shall refer you to the OP: >>154289503
This thread has absolutely fucking nothing to do with the characters themselves.
How could you not love the Seven Stakes of Purgatory? Especially when they're really your imaginary best friends who try to help you through hard times, like murdering your relatives?
>>154300110
They all look the fucking same
>>154297684
Light is the villain
>>154289503
Why didn't father reabsorb the other homunculi after he became god?
It would have been much more fun to see him become the smug ass bastard from before
>>154289503
I like the FMA manga/Brotherhood, but that's a better origin story for Hohenheim than it is for Father.To be honest, I found Father in general to be pretty boring. Even Honhenheim points out that he's pretty bland after getting rid of his sins.

The side which survives is good, and how they do it is beside the point. The loser is the evil one
>>154301319
The loser is the evil one, you say?

>His sister was taken to a mansion every day and read storybooks while he stayed home dressed as a trap
Truly the second coming of Hitler.
>>154289503
Certainly not the one you posted.
His back story is literally not explained.
He just started to exist because "magic".
Sure he was a "clone" of Hohenheim, but how was that slave owner guy able to make a "homunculus" out of another person and then literally no one else in history was able to do it. All the other homunculus are just philosopher stones.

The best antagonist origin/motivations is simply having ambition combined with a world view that is not inherently wrong but differs from the protagonist.
