I wonder if anyone can figure out who my favorite on this list is?
Worst list I've seen from mojo….
Where is GIN?
Zeke is a better pick over Annie for being the smartest.
No Makishima from psychopath? Seriously?!
He's definitely the coolest villain of all anime.
i guess he stopped talking like a retarded child but even super buu is a "not so smart" creature
Griffith should be way higher tbh. All of the DBZ villains to choose and Buu is chosen? I regard Light Yagami as a very intelligent character, but to be number 1 is too much I think.
Is Lelouch considered a villain? I mean yeah he did everything to save the world but he did kill many people and become the enemy of the world
Light Yagami is the best!
Aizen should really be number 1 over Light Yagami sorry
where the fok is black organization lol
Buu!????? Above orochimaru and annie watchmojo r u on drugs
Buu was known for being dumb why not also put patrick from spongebob on this list then
No dr gero is the smartest dbz villian not only invent the androids, and cell. He escaped hell with technology and magic
Why no code geass :,(
Light is so much smarter then Annie
Why Buu? I mean, sure. Buu-han had his moments, but Buu is an idiot in every area that really matters. We’re talking about a villain who had to be reminded by Goku that he was stronger than Babidi. Even Super Buu when we first see him isn’t even able to speak complete sentences until he absorbed Piccolo. I guess you could argue he got smart with the whole waiting to absorb Gotenks bit, but overall, come on. Even Raditz was smarter than Buu. That’s saying something right there.
Wait. How is Orochimaru smarter than Madara?!
Of course light Yagami is the smartest
Where is Aizen from bleach?
Where Aizen
Where is Robbie Rotten he is a master of disguise
Let me get this straight… No Aizen? He basically planned bleach hundreds of years before it started. Plus when shinji mixed up all his senses he adjusted instantly. How Is orochimaru smarter than kabuto, madara, etc? How is buu smarter than cell, omega shenron, Gero, cooler, etc?
What about Robbie Rotten? He's the Master of Disguise!
Doflamingo>Crocodile
Light is a a anti-hero but I like him the he is a villain or anti- hero
