She follows the protagonist, Yukiteru around and kills anyone and everyone who dares to come between them. Even Yukiteru is scared of Yuno and that says a lot. It’s not even her deadly obsession that is the worst thing about her; it is her complete disregard for other people and her seeing them as obstacles in her path.
4) Doma
The revelation that Doma from ‘Demon Slayer’ has been clinically apathetic his whole life led to the conclusion that he is the most twisted demon of the 12 Kizuki. Doma is emotionally insensitive.

Doma eats his followers and thinks he is rescuing them by keeping them inside of himself.
3) Yagami Light
The light was a normal high schooler till he found the ‘Death Note’. After figuring out the notebook’s true power, he got into a killing frenzy and started murdering criminals left and right. He developed a god complex and got drunk on power. At first, he used to kill criminals, but later on, he started murdering all those who stood in his plans. What makes Light scary is his high IQ and amazing intelligence. It’s due to his intelligence that he was able to get away with so many murders.
2) Shou Tucker
Shou Tucker, from ‘Fullmetal Alchemist’ is a narcissist who has little concern for other people’s life. He fooled everyone by maintaining a nice and polite exterior while harboring malicious intentions.
