Divinity in anime, especially the Isekai anime genre, is not a new concept. In countless depictions, these gods exist for different purposes. Some present themselves as benevolent and righteous, others as selfish and greedy, and there is even a god who associates his existence with that of a cruel villain.
Below is a list of the most evil gods in isekai anime:
Vysis – Failure Frame: I Became The Strongest and Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells
Vysis is the main antagonist of the Failure Frame series and the goddess responsible for summoning the series' protagonist, then betraying and leaving him to die for her goals.
Unlike most goddesses, Vysis is cold-blooded and emotionless, using and eliminating humans as she sees fit after achieving her goals with them. This is evident in the way she treats her apostles, as she even goes so far as to hold their families hostage if they dare to defy her.
Hitogami – Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation
The self-proclaimed god of humanity – Hitogami, is the main antagonist of Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation and was once a human who achieved the status of a god by murdering the previous human god. Hitogami's origins are largely unknown. However, it is established that he was born in the Void World, one of the realms of the Six-Faced World where the story takes place.
Hitogami is essentially a sadistic and manipulative being, always appearing calm and benevolent while lurking behind the scenes, ensuring his targets lose the things and people they cherish most in ways most horrifying.
Ehit – Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest
The main antagonist of the anime Arifureta – Ehit, is the god who rules over Tortus, the human world where the story takes place. Before achieving his godhood, Ehit was a benevolent and kind person. However, after living for many millennia, her attitude towards humans began to change. It turned into a cold, contemptuous disregard for human life, causing her to become a cold, brutal entity, obsessed with immortality.
Over thousands of years, Ehit carried out his sadistic and cruel whims on the people of Tortus solely for his own personal pleasure by posing as two different gods, to the kingdom's two separate races. . She leads them on the path of endless war not for any grand scheme, but simply for entertainment.
Goddess – Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy
This is an anonymous but quite important god Moonlit Fantasy. The goddess, despite her power, embodies the definition of vanity and human ego due to obsession with one's own appearance and that of others. An obsession that causes her to treat and despise the story's main character just because she thinks he is not attractive enough.
The goddess has an uncontrollable desire to be worshiped, which causes her to be hated by every other deity in the series. She is also a coward when facing an opponent of equal or greater strength.
Being X – The Saga of Tanya The Evil
The main antagonist of The Saga of Tanya The EvilBeing X claims to be the one who gave Moses the Ten Commandments. However, throughout the film, Being This leads to the reincarnation of the story's main character, from an atheist Japanese businessman into Tanya Von Degurechaff.
While Being X's intentions may have been correct at first, the god's methods throughout the series remain difficult to accept. To prove a point about the nature of worship and religion, Being The lives of millions of people are in danger.
