As Deadly As They Are Dazzling
Evil comes in all forms. More often than not it looks exactly how you would expect; a gruesome beast with inhuman desires or a tyrannical leader who is ugly on the outside as they are on the inside. However, sometimes evil comes with its own personable guise, one of beauty and extravagance that you can’t help to be drawn to. In fact, sometimes evil can be so fabulous that they even outshine our hero!
Take these three villains for example. Sure, they can annihilate the populace with ease and have unmatched cruelty, but you can’t deny they’ve certainly got stylistic flare!
Fair warning, there are SPOILERS AHEAD!
#3: Dio Brando
“JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” (2012-16)
For centuries this vampire has been causing nothing but suffering for the Joestar family. From a conceited youth all the way to a psychotic bloodsucker, Dio certainly had no shortage of dark deeds during his time in Victorian England. However, his resurrection in modern day Egypt was where he really began to shine. Not only was he now blessed with the power of the Stand known as The World, but also came with a striking yellow jacket. He may have no reservations about impaling you with a dozen knives, but you can’t deny he certainly knows how to stand out of a crowd.
#2: Akio Ohtori
“Revolutionary Girl Uthena” (1997)
Known to many as the Morning Star, Akio is a prince among princes. Every single move is calculated, with the results often leading to everyone in the immediate vicinity blushing. Both in and out of his clothes, he is considered the pinnacle of beauty. It’s just a shame that he spends his time turning women into passive princesses and using his silver tongue to charm anyone into his bed. It doesn’t matter if you are friend or foe, man or woman, all fall to this particular devil’s wiles.
#1: Ragyo Kiryuin
“Kill la Kill” (2013-14)
She literally tried to enslave the world with demonic clothing. Her love for fabric is so strong she was more than happy to cast her own daughters aside. Her insane strength comes from the fact she is layered with super-powered threads. Her hair is a freaking rainbow. There has truly never been a more perfect blend of fashion and villainy, to the point where we can’t tell whether she’s hard to look at because of her in-built radiance or because she enjoys punching the crap out of her offspring.
