Some of the best villains in anime don't reveal themselves as villains until a big plot twist, as seen in Bleach, Naruto, and Attack on Titan.
Sometimes it takes a story-shattering plot twist to bring out anime's most surprising twist villains. A seemingly minor or benevolent character being revealed as a villain, or worse, the villain, is a trope that can ruin a show or movie when done poorly, but can be horrifying and heartbreaking if pulled off correctly.
9 Kaworu Nagisa - Neon Genesis Evangelion Because he only shows up unexpectedly in one episode towards the end of Neon Genesis Evangelion, it might be easier for viewers to sense that there’s something suspicious about him. Shinji, however, is just amazed and delighted to finally encounter a person who loves him without expecting anything in return. It’s a horrific betrayal when Kaworu is revealed to be the final Angel.
7 Jack Vessalius - Pandora Hearts Far from being a hero with a bad reputation, Pandora Hearts' Jack Vessalius is famous for sacrificing himself to prevent the Tragedy of Sablier and stop the Baskerville clan from staging a coup against the throne. He positions himself as a supremely kind and noble hero who only wants the best for the world.
5 Albert Maverick - Tiger & Bunny This guy being revealed as the orchestrator of all of Barnaby’s suffering is like Alfred stabbing Batman in the back and revealing that, oh, yeah, he shot Thomas and Martha too. The way Barnaby remembers it, Maverick was a kind family friend who took him in and raised him after the deaths of his parents. The climactic reveal of the truth utterly upends his life.
