Anime heroes save the world. Anime haters burn it to the ground just for the sake of proving their point. Some of them hate the entire human species, some hate their own family, and some are just professionally petty. Get your snacks ready and put on your pettiest hats, here are the biggest haters in all of anime, why they’re so pressed, and the diabolical lines they hurled while actively hating.
16. Donquixote Doflamingo (One Piece)
It’s in his blood. He’s not new to this; he’s true to this. The World Government’s fallen royal who hates everyone above him, everyone below him, and especially anyone who thinks they can escape his strings. Doffy lives to ruin kingdoms, break families, watch the world burn with a grin on his face, and wearing an iconic pink coat.
Biggest hater moment: Turning Dressrosa into a living puppet nightmare and forcing families to fight each other for his entertainment.
Quote: “The fact that you miserable brats thought, for even an instant, that you could actually beat me is the highest disgrace! Understand this. I am of the noblest blood in the world…a Celestial Dragon!”
15. Eren Yeager (Attack on Titan
Started as humanity’s angriest underdog, ended up humanity’s most unstoppable genocidal hater. Eren went from “freedom for my people” to “flatten the world and make them watch.” He didn’t just hate his enemies, he hated a future where they’d even exist.
Biggest hater moment: Triggering the Rumbling and marching a wall of colossal Titans across continents like, “If you hate me, I hate you more.”
Quote: “If someone tries to take my freedom, I won’t hesitate to take theirs.” That’s supreme hater poetry.
14. Vinsmoke Judge (One Piece)
Judge “hates” his own children for having emotions. He genetically engineered Sanji’s siblings to be emotionless soldiers, and when Sanji turned out kind, he decided the kid was garbage.
Biggest hater moment: Locking kid Sanji in an iron mask because he cried.
Quote: “A failure has no place here.” Tell us you’re a hater, father, without directly telling us.
13. Saint Charlos & the Celestial Dragons (One Piece)
These guys hate everyone who isn’t them. If you’re not a World Noble, you’re basically a bug to be squished. Nothing personal, they just think they’re better than you by birthright.
Biggest hater moment: Treating people like literal pets and shooting whoever says “Hey, maybe don’t do that.”
Quote: “Bring me that mermaid!” Sir, that is a person.
12. Naraku (Inuyasha)
Naraku doesn’t just ruin lives, he marinates in your misery. He manipulated love, cursed people, faked his own death about 12 times. The king of keeping drama alive.
Biggest hater moment: Turning Kikyo and Inuyasha against each other for centuries.
Quote: “I shall watch you suffer until the end.” And he meant every single word.
11. Langris Vaude (Black Clover)
Langris lives to flex on his own brother, and any peasant who dares breathe near him. He’s basically a walking delusional “I’m better than you” sign with spatial magic.
Biggest hater moment: Trying to erase Finral mid-battle because his feelings got hurt.
Quote: “Why do you exist…?” Bro or My guy, relax, that’s your brother.
10. Shō Tucker (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)
He’s not loud about it, but Shō Tucker committed one of anime’s most horrifying acts just to keep his research funding. He hated the possibility of being irrelevant more than he loved his own wife and child.
Biggest hater moment: Turning Nina into a chimera. No redemption for that one. Ever,
Quote: “Even if it is forbidden, I had to try. The possibility was right in front of us, so we took it.” Every fan instantly became trauma-bonded.
9. Suguru Geto (Jujutsu Kaisen)
Geto hates non-sorcerers so much he takes a page from one the OG haters in anime book and literally calls them “monkeys.” He looked at humanity and said, “Nah, purge it.”
Biggest hater moment: Orchestrating chaos just so Gojo would have to watch it all burn.
Quote: “Why do monkeys exist?” Existential hate, but make it genocidal.
8. Seto Kaiba (Yu-Gi-Oh!)
Billionaire-level hater. Kaiba built entire dueling arenas, tournaments, and schools just to flex on one teenager: Yugi Muto. And don’t get him started on friendship speeches.
Biggest hater moment: Throwing his own life on the line to win a card game out of pure spite.
Quote: “Screw the rules, I have money!” Peak billionaire energy.
7. Griffith (Berserk)
Anime’s ultimate snake. Griffith didn’t just ruin his best friend’s life; he ruined everyone’s life to build his shiny new kingdom. If your ambition has a body count in the thousands, you’re not just driven, you’re a diabolical hater with a plan.
Biggest hater moment: The Eclipse. If you know, you know.
Quote: “I sacrifice.” The coldest line in anime betrayal history.
6. Endeavor (My Hero Academia)
Before his so-called redemption arc, Endeavor was that dad who resented everyone’s success. He hated All Might’s smile so much that he turned his own kid into a human revenge plan.
Biggest hater moment: Raising Shoto to be his personal anti-All Might weapon.
Quote: “Surpass your father, Shoto!” Or maybe… just be a decent dad?
5. Light Yagami (Death Note)
Light didn’t just hate criminals, he hated anyone who dared to question him. One second you’re his classmate, the next your name is scribbled in a murderous notebook.
Biggest hater moment: Using the Death Note to wipe out an entire team of FBI agents, tricking Naomi Misora into vanishing forever, and manipulating a Shinigami to kill L, then sitting in L’s chair like he won the world’s greatest chess match with death.
Quote: “I am justice!” When you say that out loud, you’re definitely not.
4. Danzo Shimura (Naruto)
Danzo is what happens when your neighborhood or village elder thinks war crimes are “just great leadership.” He hated the Uchiha, peace treaties, and anyone more popular than him, so basically, everyone.
Biggest hater moment: Stealing Shisui’s eye and ordering the Uchiha massacre.
Quote: No cool catchphrase or quote, just shady backroom deals and betrayal.Uh!
3. Tobirama Senju (Naruto)
The Second Hokage. The inventor of the Uchiha surveillance state. If your last name was Uchiha, Tobirama already didn’t trust you, and he’d built the policies to prove it.
Biggest hater moment: Setting up the entire cursed cycle that made the Uchiha one of anime’s most tragic clans in anime history.
Quote: “The Uchiha are a cursed clan.” Sir, you are the curse.
2. DIO Brando (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure)
Generational vendetta king. Dio’s beef with the Joestars spans centuries, dimensions, and reincarnations. He’s so petty, he stole Jonathan Joestar’s body just to keep haunting the family reunion forever.
Biggest hater moment: “It was me, Dio!” The moment every Joestar knew they’d never have peace.
Quote: “WRYYYY!” The sound of infinite hate echoing across timelines.
1. Frieza (Dragon Ball Z)
The poster child for intergalactic petty. Frieza hates Saiyans, Namekians, kindness, basically anything that breathes without bowing first. He blew up an entire planet just to flex on the monkeys (his words, not ours).
Biggest hater moment: Making Vegeta cry in space. Twice.
Quote: “Hello monkeys…” When Frieza says it, it hits like a cosmic xenophobic slap.
