Why do we root for anime villains… even when we know they’re wrong?

This video essay breaks down the psychology behind anime’s most compelling antagonists using Carl Jung’s Shadow, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, and modern moral psychology to explain why villains feel relatable, magnetic, and impossible to ignore.

From the calculated justice of Light Yagami (Death Note) to the ruthless dominance of Sukuna (Jujutsu Kaisen), anime villains embody suppressed desires, fractured ideals, and the uncomfortable truth that the line between hero and villain is dangerously thin.

These characters aren’t just well-written, they mirror parts of ourselves we don’t openly admit.

If you’re drawn to these villains, you’re not alone.
