He tried to erase his humanity

Naraku was the primary antagonist of Inuyasha. He was an evil villain who loved to inflict pain and suffering on others, but above all he was extremely deadly and became very powerful. He was a Hanyo, a half-human, half-demon fusion, without the typical weaknesses that come with that race, but he despised his humanity and the weakness he associated with it and sought to erase it.
Naraku sought out the Shikon Jewel, a powerful spherical jewel that grants the user limitless power, and used any means possible to achieve it, eventually searching for powerful demons that he could absorb and assimilate into himself to gain power and draw closer to him his goal. The story of Inuyasha was much darker than most remember, and aside from Naraku's power-up after collecting all the shards of the Shikon Jewel, he was a ruthless mastermind who orchestrated and killed many precisely, a villain who would do whatever it took to win.

Aizen was the former captain of the 5th Division and a recurring antagonist of Bleach. He was shown to be soft-hearted and kind before it was eventually discovered that he had ulterior motives. After a battle with Kurosaki Ichigo, he was finally defeated and banished from Soul Society. Through many arcs and chapters, Aizen is shown to be extremely malevolent and evil, doing extremely horrible things without regard to who he uses or what means he uses to achieve his goals.
Throughout the course of the anime, Aizen grew more powerful in each encounter; at his base level he was a strong captain, making him a worthy opponent from his first appearance. Afterwards, Aizen merged with Hōgyoku and became even more powerful, giving him enough power to lead the Espadas through his sheer strength alone.

The grotesque specialist prince
| Many names | Hunter x Hunter |

Tserriendich is the fourth prince of the Kakin Kingdom; he is a unique character with an inquisitive intellect and a wide range of interests and skills. He is a character who is polite, well-spoken, and extremely intelligent, but beneath his veneer of politeness and kindness, he is a sociopath who revels in murdering and dismembering people, which he sees as a form of artistic expression.
Tserriednich is a genius in every sense of the word; his intellect extends to all areas of his life, especially his control. He had precise control over his own Nen in his early stages and mastered the concepts of Gyo, Ren and Ten in just a few days; afterwards, he was able to unconsciously summon a powerful Nen beast that greatly aided his efforts. While mastering Nen's intricacies in a matter of days, he developed an impressive ability that allowed him to see ten seconds into the future. Tserriendich's power lies not specifically in raw power but in his quick grasp of any concept and the limitless resources at his disposal.
