Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Solo villains are cool enough, but the best and most iconic villain teams in anime prove that the more, the merrier, and the more dangerous — at least for the forces of evil. Whether the hero is alone or part of a team themself, they can’t save the day in one fell swoop. They’ve got, at best, hordes of minions to battle and, at worst, a powerhouse team of villains that have to be chipped down one by one.
The Ginyu Force specifically stands out as the strongest among them, second only to Frieza himself. Though they may be goofy, they have no problem getting serious when it counts, giving Vegeta and Goku a run for their money when they fight. Ginyu’s body-swap technique is especially troublesome, with his tendency to grievously wound himself before stealing someone’s body so they can’t make use of his power the way he’s doing with theirs.
Likewise, only the best of the best of the Demon Slayer Corps have a hope of defeating one of the Twelve Kizuki, and Tanjirou and the Hashira are put through the wringer by several of them. Most often, it’s a puzzle just to figure out how to get to their weak points, let alone manage to actually pull off the killing blow. From brutal but honorable Akaza to endlessly cruel Douma, they all have different methods of hunting humans and battling Demon Slayers.
While most of them have no animosity toward Souma, Erina, and the rest of the heroes, their part in Azami’s movement to make cooking worldwide uniform and heartless makes them powerful enemies. It takes an entire arc and many shokugeki to bring them all down, making the heroes stronger chefs by the end. Interestingly, the Elite Ten is a very rare example of the heroes taking over the positions and title, turning it into a hero team instead.
