Happens a couple of times in Hajime No Ippo, and probs some others i'm forgetting

It'd be nice to get some simple, old-school villainy every once in a while. Like, the villain robs a bank because he likes money, or he tries to take over the world because he wants to rule the world. I'm not saying they have to tie girls to railroad tracks while twirling their mustaches or anything, but it'd be a nice break from
>I want to become a god so nobody has to suffer
>I have to avenge my people by slaughtering millions
>I have to merge human consciousness because human nature will eventually blah blah blah

It was sort of explored in Shaman King, during MC's fight with Faust. Going into RAGE actually made the characters weaker because of losing their self-control. MC rages first and fucks up the entire fight.

>>155175327
I like that Japanese trope of casually talking with murderers or people that just attacked you. Like in Zaregoto the MC is attacked and almost murdered by a serial killer, and after he fights him off they just casually talk and share a drink. I don't see it that often in other media.

For all the faults Beelzebub had, it did this well with how it converted Kanzaki and Himekawa.

problem with villains nowadays is how authors manage the reveal of their motifs and backstory.
its always in order to redeem them or just for the sake to notice how "gray" they were.
funny thing is they would've worked better as 2 dimensional villains.
