  (#8) Gon And Killua Show Three Heaven's Arena Fighters No Mercy In 'Hunter x Hunter'

  Riehlvelt, Gido, and Sadaso are fighters on the 200th floor of Heaven's Arena. Instead of relying on their combined strength, the three play dirty, kidnapping and blackmailing their way to victory. When they get caught, Riehlvelt decides to try and battle on his own merit, which doesn't work out so well. 

  In one of Hunter X Hunter's most brutal takedowns, Gon and Killua show Riehlvelt no mercy, breaking his wrists and electrocuting him until he loses consciousness from a combination of pain and fear. When he awakens, he's forced to leave Heaven's Arena with his tail between his legs.

  (#12) Stain Is Defeated By Three Amateur Heroes In 'My Hero Academia'

  Stain is a villain with convictions. He's strongly against the current state of professional heroism, as he believes saving people for profit isn't true valor. According to Stain, the whole hero system should be scrapped, and he's willing to kill any pro hero he deems unworthy to prove his point. 

  Stain gets taken down by three amateur heroes – Izuku Midoriya, Tenya Iida, and Shoto Todoroki – in an inelegant alley fight. Just before he loses consciousness, he says no one but the incredible All Might could possibly defeat him, then he's swiftly taken to the hospital.

  To make matters worse, the kids say Endeavor – a pro hero who is the antithesis of everything Stain stands for – took the villain down, as the governing powers of My Hero Academia strictly forbid amateur heroes from using their abilities outside of class.

  (#6) Alucard Obliterates Luke Valentine In 'Hellsing Ultimate'

  Despite the show's generally barbarous tone, some of the villains in Hellsing Ultimate go down in ridiculously embarrassing ways. Luke Valentine is a vampire who thinks he can murder Alucard without breaking a sweat. After Alucard severs his legs and mocks him for not being able to regenerate quickly enough, it's pretty obvious he made a mistake.

  (#2) Light Yagami

  • Death Note, Death Note: Re-light: L's Successors, Death Note, Death Note: The Last Name

  For a time, Light Yagami believed he was a god, but when he's revealed to be the serial killer Kira, his divine composure evaporates. He implicates his co-conspirators, tries (and fails) to talk his way out of the situation, and ends up screaming, sobbing, and begging for mercy until Ryuk finally kills him, as he'd promised to do from the start.

  Watching Death Note's evil protagonist unravel is equal parts satisfying and distressing. When Aizawa and Matsuda – two adults who knew Light as a child – react to his humiliating death, it's hard not to feel choked up, as they truly believed he wasn't a murderer.

  (#5) Envy

  • Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

  When Envy is defeated, it's a deeply distressing moment for everyone involved. The homunculus is one of the main villains in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and its menace is great enough to inspire a truce between Scar, Edward Elric, Roy Mustang, and Riza Hawkeye.

  Envy tries desperately to convince the rag-tag team to destroy each other. However, Edward soon realizes Envy's pleas are motivated by jealously, as it covets humanity's ability to forgive past wounds and form genuine bonds.

  Ed calls Envy out for being emotionally stunted, causing the villain to burst into tears. Utterly humiliated, Envy kills itself by removing the Philosopher's Stone that keeps its body running.

  (#9) Kakuzu

  • Naruto Shippūden

  Kakuzu is a 91-year-old ninja who expertly controls four different elements. By virtue of having multiple hearts, he has to be killed five times before he actually dies. He's perhaps the most powerful member of the Akatsuki, and one of the scariest villains in Naruto. 

  As can be expected, Kakuzu thinks pretty highly of himself, so when he's utterly trounced by a group of teenage ninjas, the loss leaves him angry and embarrassed.

  After he's brought back from the dead in a later arc, he's defeated once again, this time by Izumo and Kotetsu. This is the same Kotetsu who almost got murdered by an ostrich after he'd been away from Izumo for like an hour. Power creep in anime is real.
