Learning From the Best: How To Write Villains

One of my favorite stories is the anime: Yu Yu Hakusho. Not only does this have arguably the best tournament arc, but it has one of the best villains in fiction. This is the first in my series of Learning From the Best, where I take a thorough look at what went write in my favorites. For tonight's episode, I am discussing the younger Toguro brother and why he stands the test of time as a perfect counter to the protagonist.
