The main villains in anime that everyone knows
In anime it is easy to find villains: murderers, maniacs, mad scientists and just plain monsters. Such characters are introduced to create the necessary contrast with the central protagonists, as the villain not only sets up the central conflict, but also becomes a parallel to the protagonist.
For this reason, because of the importance of villains, below are the names of the most prominent antagonists from the anime.

Major
He is the commander of the Last Battalion, a paramilitary terrorist group of unscathed Nazi vampires who want to wage a great war. The hero is a short, overweight man with blond hair and golden eyes. The most striking character trait of the Major is his obsession with war. By his own admission, he loves war in all its manifestations: even his defeat or potential death in battle he meets with joy and jubilation. Despite his bloodthirstiness, the Sturmbannfuhrer always behaves as befits a gentleman: he is calm, patient, cool and polite in his communications with both his soldiers and his enemies. The hero is a true Nazi, a skilled orator and a brilliant strategist. In Major’s opinion, the only thing that makes a man human is free will, which vampires and other bloodthirsty monsters do not have, without consuming which they would simply die.
