Best Anime Antagonists Who Weren’t Actually Villains
While I wouldn’t call Lordgenome a great guy in regards to his actions in Gurren Laagan, you can’t necessarily call them evil or villainous either.
At the outset of the show, it seems like the Spiral King created Beastman to drive humanity underground for no other reason than he could, even though he’s human himself. After this antagonist is defeated during the first act, though, we learn that he did everything to protect the world from a bigger threat.
While he may have acted tyrannically, losing himself in the process, his intentions were for the good of humanity. Lordgenome even goes out of his way to earn redemption, proving he isn’t so different from Kamina and Simon.
