Bloodthirsty anime characters, aka violent characters, are the pride of many action anime. These badass prodigies are well known for their murderous intent and fearless bloodshed.
Otakus really love watching their anime characters go beast mode. Although there are many, yet a handful of these characters manage to set a trademark with their cruelty. Today, we have picked up some bloodthirsty characters who love to descend red storms, so buckle up.
12: Thorgil
Anime: Vinland Saga
A small number of Vinland Saga’s audiences would be aware of Thorgil, who was the supporting character in Vinland Saga Season 2. Thorgil is the elder son of Ketil and possesses real Viking blood.
He’s a ruthless one-man army and has served as the right hand of King Canute. Why is he a one-man army? Because this giant dude stands against King Canute’s force alone without any fear.
You can estimate his terror with the fact that even his father, ‘Ketil’, fears his ruthlessness. He has survived many battles and possesses remarkable fighting skills.
11: Revy
Anime: Black Lagoon
Revy is a fierce and highly skilled gunslinger who operates outside the law. She’s the most badass female anime characteryou would ever have known.
She’s violent, fearless, sarcastic, and troublesome in every case. Overall, she is a complex character who lives life on the edge while working for Lagoon Company.
While violent at times, she possesses an independent streak and stubborn determination to survive in her chaotic world through her own strength and skills with weapons.
10: Majin Buu
Anime: Dragon Ball
In the chaotic world of Dragon Ball, Majin Buu serves as a bloodthirsty antagonist. As an ancient being of immense power, he has destroyed entire civilizations and planets across the galaxy.
His childlike demeanor often confuses fans about whether he’s powerful or not, but once they taste a glimpse of Buu’s havoc, they surely consider him the most troublesome.
While motivated primarily by a desire for chaos and violence, Buu occasionally displays flickers of innocence in his curious and playful nature. However, his mercurial temper can erupt at any moment, unleashing catastrophic rage on a planetary scale.
9: Goblin Slayer
Anime: Goblin Slayer
Goblin Slayer is the expressionless main character of the anime “Goblin Slayer.” Goblin Slayer is bloodthirsty, but not for human blood. His entire wrath is directed at the goblins who previously murdered his family.
Goblin Slayer is a skilled warrior who has dedicated his life to exterminating goblins. He is renowned for his effectiveness in clearing goblin nests, having survived numerous dangerous missions that would defeat most other adventurers.
This socially awkward anti-hero looks like a creep when he seriously strategizes about how to kill goblins in the most formidable ways. He’s truly a bloodthirsty anti-goblin crusader.
8: Rui
Anime: Demon Slayer
The grim world of Demon Slayer is already overflowing with bloodthirsty anime characters, yet you’ll be amazed that I have picked one of the weakest among demons, “Rui,” for this rank.
Rui is a twisted child who hasn’t spared even his own parents. He served as the main villain in Demon Slayer Season 1. Rui is a sadistic demon who converts humans into demons to form a perfect family.
If any of his test subjects fail to serve his purpose, Rui tortures them physically and mentally until their deaths. Rui has the honor of having the most kill counts in the Demon Slayer anime.
7: Alucard
Anime: Hellsing
The only reason to recall Alucard as a bloodthirsty protagonist is not that he’s a vampire, but what havoc he wreaks in Hellsing. With bloody red eyes and destructive capabilities, Alucard has lost count of his killings.
As the centuries-old eldest son of Dracula, Alucard possesses immeasurable strength, speed, regeneration, and an encyclopedic knowledge of vampire lore.
While reveling in the carnage of battle, Alucard maintains an air of sophistication and dry wit. He regards most battles as mere games meant to appease his boredom with eternity.
6: Woltekamui
Anime: Ragna Crimson
Woltekamui, aka Kamui, is the most fearsome antagonist of the shonen anime “Ragna Crimson.” This hot mess is a walking time bomb who values strength above all else.
He’s the 2nd most powerful Demi-human in the Dragon Bloodline and considers humans mere playthings that deserve to be perished by dragons.
It’s said that when he was born, his immense lightning power took the life of his mother while she was birthing him. This rash and violent antagonist is also referred to as the monster that should never have been born.
5: Hisoka Morow
Anime: Hunter X Hunter
A Loose Cannon named Hisoka is an unpredictable and dangerous tall anime character from Hunter X Hunter. Referred to by others as a “walking disaster,” this flamboyantly homicidal magician never met a fight he didn’t want to pick.
Under his playful demeanor lies a volatile core, and Heaven helps anyone who fails to amuse him. He sees life as nothing more than a never-ending series of games, with death as the prize.
He massacres Prüfa and others without mercy or remorse, toying with his prey for his own sadistic pleasure. Even seasoned pros give Hisoka a wide berth, knowing one wrong move could end in a gruesome demise.
4: Yhwach
Anime: Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War
Everything in this world exists to be taken by me! are the direct words of the bloody violent antagonist of the Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War arc.
They called him “The Almighty” – and with good reason. Yhwach, leader of the Quincy clan, struck fear into all who stood in his path of absolute destruction. In Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War Part 1, we have seen a glimpse of Yhwach destruction.
When the true extent of his sinister ambitions was revealed, the Soul Society faced its darkest hour. Yhwach sought to dissolve the barrier between the realms and swallow all souls into his domain. Not even central figures like the Soul King himself could stand in the way of the ‘Almighty’s’ genocidal destiny for the universe.
3: Innocent Zero
Anime: Mashle: Magic and Muscles
Similar to Black Clover, Mashle: Magic and Muscles is the newest action shonen anime. Even though it doesn’t emphasize the idea of bloodshed, this anime features several lethal characters, such as Innocent Zero, who might be the most violent if it were rated higher than R.
Innocent Zero is the main antagonist of the series and the father of Mashle. He’s the epitome of selfishness, who wreaks havoc in series to become the so-called ‘perfect human being’.
He kills other magic school student guards in order to get to Mashle, and if Mashle doesn’t save him, he almost kills Walhberg as well. As a whole, Innocent Zero has the highest kill count in the Mashle series.
2: Madara Uchiha
Anime: Naruto
Here comes the badass daddy of bloodthirsty anime characters, ‘Madara Uchiha’. The legend of Madara Uchiha loomed large over the Shinobi world for generations.
Emerging once more after decades sealed in limbo, the reborn Madara made his triumphant return known by effortlessly massacring legions of allied shinobi.
Madara’s most infamous massacre came during his iconic final battle against Hashirama Senju in the Valley of the End. That being said, they left the landscape blanketed with the remains of 10,000 Shinobi who died as collateral in their titanic clash.
This long black hair prodigy would retain the top spot if fans’ favorite bloodthirsty antagonist never existed, which is below mentioned.
1: Ryomen Sukuna
Anime: Jujutsu Kaisen
In the race of violent anime characters, Sukuna, ‘the god of all curses’ reigns supreme with his crimson-red murderous profile. Ryomen Sukuna is the most terrifying antagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen.
In the upcoming events of JJK, we will definitely witness Sukuna wreaking havoc on a massive scale; however, the bloodbath caused in the Shibuya incident arc is enough to tell how disastrous he is.
Unlike Madara, he doesn’t have any anti-villain plans to justify his destruction; he slaughters people for mere fun.
