What Makes a Good Antagonist in Anime? 

to be fair, the first one was acknowledged by the story. yes its exactly that, which is why it was showcased in the dabi dance part and changed the way society sees heroes, making way for the dark hero arc i cant defend the second one tho lmao

@nerov3402 oh nah the Hawks kill was very well executed, I'm talking about Shigaraki/Tenko and how Deku completely failed to save him lmao Though ig now the story has retroactively justified Hawks' actions afyer that latest chapter :/

Ikr

Deku and Shigaraki clears Yuji and Mahito but ok 💀

Considering their lack of interactions especially how it got worse now, it’s clearly not better but sure lol

@@jeffali5157 if you think interactions alone defines a whole dynamic then please humble yourself. Their parallels are unmatched compared to Yuji and Mahito, whether it be dialogue, the situations they get put in, or even the panels of them. Regardless the mall interaction itself was major setup for their own developments as well as their rivalry in the long term. The whole dialogue of Shigaraki in the first war “I don’t care if you don’t understand…that’s what makes us…heroes and villains” is a prime example of why interactions aren’t entirely necessary between them beforehand. But since their first actual fight in the first war and this last war arc they’ve had more interaction since they had become true rivals/enemies. And wdym it got worse now? If you’re talking about the conclusion to this last war, then you’re poorly mistaken.

it’s not but it definitely adds more to it than how it usually is, Yuji and Mahito being antithesis to each other and actually being executed well enough in dialogue and battles is clearly better than deku and Shiggy’s where their dynamic definitely could’ve been great until the final act stripped all of that away especially with the poorly executed conclusion. If you think sloppy execution is better I’m sorry but YOU are poorly mistaken and you should check yourself

@@jeffali5157 Yuji and Mahito was executed well but Deku and Shigaraki’s was greatly done and the execution was good too fym poorly executed? How was it not well executed but somehow Yuji’s and Mahito’s was? 💀💀💀

Zeke my goat 🐐

I feel like most antagonists from HxH are easily top 10, but that's just my opinion.

Damn nice list, it's cool to see furuta and akito there

before LMAO
