(#8) Shigure Sohma
- Fruits Basket
If you're new to Fruits Basket and aren't familiar with the manga, keep scrolling.
If you have read the manga, you know that there's a lot more to Shigure than meets the eye. His goal is a reasonable one - he wants to break the curse that forces his family to transform into animals and keeps them bonded to Akito, the god who reigns terror over them all. Shigure wants this not just for the sake of his fellow Zodiac members, but for Akito, too - because the only thing in the world that he loves as much as himself is Akito.
To achieve his laudable goal, Shigure constantly provokes people into having extreme emotional reactions, lies to and manipulates others, and sleeps with someone he really shouldn't have slept with - although that last one was as much due to petty jealousy as it was to any sort of noble purpose.

(#7) Shougo Makishima
- Psycho-Pass
In the world of Psycho-Pass, people are judged as 'latent criminals' before they've ever committed a single crime. As a result, people are arrested and deprived of all personal freedom even when they're completely innocent. Even worse, emotional disturbances caused by being the victim of a crime can cause a person to be so labeled, and so can participation in the arts. Personal freedom is nonexistent.
Shougo Makishima can't be read by the scanners that determine everyone else's criminal status. He decides to use this fact to his advantage in order to crash the system and set society free. This would be an extraodorinarily noble goal if his methods weren't so savage. Makishima doesn't care who he has to destroy in order to achieve his goals. In fact, he does everything from slit a young woman's throat to attempt to starve an entire nation by destroying its grain supply.

(#1) Itachi Uchiha
- Naruto Shippūden, Naruto, Ninja World
When he first appears, Itachi Uchiha seems to be one of the most vile villains imaginable. He took out his entire clan, leaving his younger brother Sasuke as the sole survivor. After that, he joined the Akatsuki, an organization known for wreaking havoc on innocent people.
What could possibly be the explanation for such heinous acts? Itachi was actually attempting to prevent war and protect his younger brother. Danzo, the leader of an organization called Root, gives a then-13-year-old Itachi a choice. Either Danzo and the rest of Root would destroy his family for him, potentially sparking an all-out war that would implicate the entire city, or he could do it himself, sparing his own life, his brother's life, and that of the rest of the city.
While not everything Itachi does after that is perfectly calibrated toward maintaining peace, that is his ultimate goal - even if he has to commit atrocities to get there.

(#12) Squealer
- Animal Farm
If you were part of a species that had been routinely treated like expendable livestock that had to obey humanity at all costs, chances are you'd want to fight back. You'd especially want that if the very people who oppressed you were the ones who spliced your DNA so that you would be weaker than they were to begin with. Such is the fate of monster rats, a species that was once human but was combined with mole rat DNA until they could be easily exploited by humanity.
Squealer, one of the more strong-willed monster rats, eventually leads his people in rebellion against humankind. His actions result in countless human casualties, so it's not like he doesn't have blood on his hands. But his ultimate goal - to grant his people the freedom and dignity that any sentient species deserves - is a fair one.
While most humans in From The New World don't realize this, the protagonist does - which makes it all the more difficult for her to oppose him and protect herself and her loved one.

(#4) Archer - 'Fate: Unlimited Blade Works'
Archer began as a heroic person who desperately wanted to save as many people from danger as humanly possible. However, because of the role he was forced to occupy, he's assigned the task of taking lives in order to protect humanity as a whole. This is utterly miserable for him, since he's a man of principle.
In the midst of this difficult situation, he decides to take out Shirou Emiya, a version of himself from an alternate universe. He believes that this will ultimately prevent further catastrophe, but it casts him in the role of villain during one of the versions of Fate's extensive timeline.

(#9) Treize Khushrenada
- Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
Treize Kushrenada wants to end all war, but his ideas about how to do so are some of the most violent ones imaginable. He decides to start a war so heinous that no one will ever dream of starting another war again - and he's willing to do anything it takes to make that happen.
Despite his willingness to commit atrocities in the name of peace, he feels deeply guilty about every person whose life is lost in the process. In fact, he even sets up a memorial to commemorate them.
