This list isn’t in any particular order, but Orochimaru would definitely be much higher if it were. We decided to start with one of the most villainous characters, especially since he’s had something of a redemption arc in the *Naruto* series. It’s still shocking to many that Orochimaru is now accepted in the Hidden Leaf Village, as seen in *Boruto: Naruto Next Generations* and *Boruto: Two Blue Vortex*. Considering the countless lives he’s taken, he remains a truly terrifying and seemingly unforgivable character in the anime world.
