You’d probably have to strain your neck to look up into the pitch-black eyes of Ozen, but perhaps you wouldn’t want to challenge eye contact with her in the first place. With the exception of a few characters, she is particularly heartless in most cases and unconcerned with the feelings of others.

An incredibly interesting detail about her is that she bares inside her 120 Thousand-Men pins. Each of these artifact pins awards its beholder with the strength of a thousand men, hence the name.

8. Dragon Ball Z – Cell 7’

Created from the genetics of the greatest fighters on planet Earth, it’s no wonder where his catchy name of Cell comes from. After multiple stages of evolution, from absorbing the DNA of the best fighters, his ultimate personality is not one you’d want to hangout with. Majority of Cell’s screentime, he is a narcissistic, exceedingly mean, arrogant, and cruel ball of perfection fighter energy.

In the words of Cell himself, “You fool! Don’t you realize yet you’re up against the perfect weapon?!”

6. My Hero Academia – All Might 7’2.5”

This crazy-eyed evildoer has a seemingly immeasurable power, Ki blast and sense, the ability to absorb others, and tons more. To put it short and not so sweet he refers to himself as the terror of the universe.

But hey, he’s not all bad, he’s been known to express that his favorite flavors of candy are coffee and chocolate. Alright, that doesn’t exactly make up for his horrific behavior, but it is a fan random piece of trivia!

4. Kill la Kill – Ira Gamagoon 8’8”

An extreme devotee of the Elite Four and a member of the Disciplinary Committee chair, Ira Gamagoon is huge in size and a big stickler for rules and structure. He’s a no-nonsense kind of guy, making sure that everyone, especially the students, are following the rules and behaving themselves.

It harnesses the ultimate force called sunshine; this power gifts him with an insane amount of strength and ability during the light hours of the day, but as the day dissolves as does his strength.
