00:00Sometimes it can get a little boring following a good never giving up main character. Sometimes
00:27you just want to see a ruthless MC, not taking any chances but not necessarily evil either.
00:33So here's a list of the top 10 most ruthless MCs.
00:44Finally an isekai where the protagonist follows through with his revenge. He was originally a
00:49timid, kind and gentle boy until he got betrayed by one of his classmates, leaving him to suffer
00:55in pain and starve for multiple days, overall leading to his descent to madness. Now he is
01:02absolutely ruthless and will kill anyone that crosses his path. Completely independent and
01:07shows no mercy even to his classmates but despite his nature he still cares for his current comrades,
01:13the remaining fragments of his kindness.
01:15Darker Than Black, as the name suggests, is a dark anime. This is all about a human that gained
01:31contractor powers, a form of supernatural ability but at the cost of their conscience. Contractors
01:38are by nature emotionless individuals and will do whatever it takes to complete their missions.
01:44This MC is one of the most powerful contractors and is commonly known as the Black Reaper for his
01:49success in countless assassinations. However, unlike other contractors, he still retained some of
01:56his human emotions. He deeply cares for his sister and is on a search for her.
02:01Mika is one of the main characters of this Gundam series, but almost all of the main characters here
02:14are not afraid to kill, despite being a group of kids. The most important for Mika is his crew,
02:20and if anyone goes against them, he will use any means to eliminate them, regardless of who they are or
02:26what their circumstances are. He may be a child soldier, but he ruthlessly killed Carter's men
02:32by stomping them to death when they weren't even ready to fight. Most MCs talk about being righteous
02:37and having a fair fight, but in reality, war is very cruel, and this anime really showcases this.
02:44This anime follows the story of one of the most powerful espers, a ruthless character that will
02:56easily kill his enemies. He is essentially Lelouch, with mob's psychic powers. He didn't exactly have
03:03the brightest childhood. Mother died of esper investigation. His father was an alcoholic
03:08and mistreated him. Then he joined the army to help humanity to only be shot by his most trusted
03:13comrade because of his esper powers being a potential threat. The result was a ruthless
03:18and heartless individual against all humans. However, he still has a kind heart behind those glares.
03:25His main mission is to save and protect as many espers as possible that are being mistreated by humans,
03:31even if it requires brute force.
03:46Codebreaker shows off their ruthless MC from the very start by burning people alive in public. He may seem
03:53kind and quiet at school, but when it comes to his work for Eden, he becomes a ruthless killer.
03:59He has his own justice and concept of evil, and he will kill anyone who fits his criteria of evil.
04:05However, he is a kind individual, at least towards animals, and does show care towards some in his
04:11own unusual ways. He even risked his life to protect Sakura that he seems to have an interest for
04:17because he couldn't burn her.
04:33This anime has a unique story where a newborn was sacrificed to the demons by a samurai lord in
04:39exchange for full dominance on the battlefield. The newborn's body was split between 48 demons and would
04:45normally kill the kid. Luckily, he was given a second chance at life by a doctor who provided him
04:51with prosthetics and weapons. The main story is the journey of this boy, becoming fully human again
04:57by reclaiming his organs by slaying the demons that have them, and eventually take revenge on those who
05:02put him in such state. It's only given that he grows up to be ruthless when deprived of his senses,
05:09but he did learn the warmth and kindness and love from Nioh, even if it was short-lived.
05:14This protagonist is essentially the Jesus of this anime, a badass that is extremely powerful to
05:33the point that he can even revive the dead. Due to the high-end magical treatment he underwent as a child,
05:39coupled with the experience of living as a weapon, he was deprived of many emotions with the exception
05:45for his sister. As a result he has no qualms with brutally executing any enemy that puts his sister
05:51in danger as seen in this battle, where he quickly eliminates the terrorist group in a matter of minutes.
05:56This is an isekai where a salaryman ends up in the body of a little girl in a world where men and
06:11women are not equal. However, being forced to talk in a young girl's voice isn't enough to stop him in
06:17securing the lifestyle he wants. He is intelligent and talented, so he joins the military as it's the
06:24only sector where men and women are treated equally, providing him with the opportunity to progress
06:29up the ranks. For this purpose he becomes a ruthless killer that priorities his safety and career
06:34success to progress quickly through the ranks to ensure an easy life. Unfortunately his quick
06:40progression backfires, as now he is considered a valuable asset at the front lines due to his
06:45overwhelming skills in combat. Drifters is another isekai pitting the followers of Jesus against
07:05Samurais fighting for Hitler's people. The MC is from the Samurai era and as a Samurai should, he isn't
07:12afraid of killing. He isn't afraid of dying if it means taking down his enemies along with him. However,
07:17he is not cold-hearted either. He has his own beliefs on what is right and does everything to
07:22protect that. When he wants to punish his enemies, he can be extremely ruthless as shown in this fight
07:28where he doesn't kill the enemy straight away, but make sure he suffers as much as possible,
07:33making even the arrogant soldier cower in fear.
07:52Post time skip Eren takes the number one spot for ruthless because of the pure brutality and terror
07:58he brought upon his opponents. This is the pinnacle of character development, a complete shift from a
08:05screaming idealistic teen to a cunning, calculative and ruthless soldier. He didn't have a single
08:12ounce of fear when his titan head was chopped off by the Warhammer titan, instead he was already
08:17calculating his next steps. He brutally used the jaw titan to destroy his own ally, he even uses kids as
08:24hostage, transforms without a care for their safety, and has zero reaction to the mountain of dead bodies
08:31he left behind. And this is all just the beginning to the destruction that this shonen protagonist is
08:40about to unleash. If you enjoyed that, a like would be a huge help in taking this channel to the next
08:49level. And remember to subscribe for many more top tens to come.
