"Who could POSSIBLY be a bigger psychopath than number 2??
...
A Politician? yeah that checks out."
Using Dimentio as the transition was perfect, that guy was an absolute menace. Turned a friendly dragon against you, manipulated his coworkers, and tried to destroy the universe all in the one game he was featured in.
Can’t forget what he did to luigi
Number 1 is gonna be Wesker. There's no way it ain't.
*He's an honorable mention*
WHAT!? Ok, who could POSSIBLY be worse than Wesker, Terumi, AND FLOWEY!?
*Actual number 1*
...That woman is one of the most evil and irredeemable characters I've ever seen.
And you wanna know what's worse? She is realistic. You could easily describe a good bunch of politicians in the same way.
@@toumabyakuya The Orange Man....
DAMN YOU REALITY!!
She was so evil and uncaring that Big Jack Horner would be horrified.
@@MasterZebulinthat and many others. Let’s face it both democrats and republicans have some of the same traits Julia has
It's so funny how you compared Manfred von Karma to if Freeza was a lawyer, since Freeza was based off scummy real estate speculators during the Japanese economic bubble of the 80s.
I chuckled at that comparison, too. All of what he did that led to the case (not counting eradications of planets) is almost one for one.
So that's why Frieza is so racist
NUMBER. ONE.
I thought Cyrus was an omnicidal maniac, but GEEEEEZZZZZ did Julia Salisbury have him beat!
Props for her actor for portraying such a heartless monster.
If she were a real dictator in history, her actions would rank her high on the list of most evil leaders in history. Up there with Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin, Castro- possibly even higher than Castro.
My thoughts exactly on the latter
Before Number 1: Who can be worse than TERUMI?
After Number 1: ......That woman is evil incarnate and needs to be stopped at all costs.
TBH I thought Cyrus having a Crobat may have been a hint at how detached he was, that he was able to fake emotions well enough to Max his Crobat's friendship
He also walks everywhere and works within two blocks of both the department store and the massage parlor.
Or he just got it from a trade
Or the crobat has Stockholm Syndrome
No one ever said that the friendship had to go both ways.
Where the heck is that little clip in the Cyrus portion from? Tge part with tge "And, you fond enjoyment in this?", "Oh, no, I'm feeling absolutely nothing as I'm saying this." Lines
Oh my god…Julia Salisbury makes Junko, Vaas, & Kefka look like saints in comparison yeah that answers the question!
Calling Junko a psychopath is like saying Superman is a little strong
20:50 missed opportunity to play a hunter the parenting audio clip:
"WAIT HOW ON EARTH ARE YOU 27 YEARS OLD!??"
"MY DAY JOB WAS STRESSFULL AND ALSO I HAVE PSORIASIS WHAT DO YOU WANT???"
I hate that this perfectly describes me (stressful day job and psoriasis). Except I'm almost 24.
For reference, the country of South Sudan has about 14.7 million people.
If she were to target that nation only, Julia would have sent the 74th most populous nation to 160th, the same level as Guyana, minimum!
Not to mention erase countries like Greece, Sweden, and Belgium.
BTW
Depending on your choices in one of the At Home sections early on in the game......
One of those 14 Million Casualties can be one of Alex's (The Player Character) Kids
Not only that, but your spouse can lose their sibling as well.
Manfred Von Karma couldn’t have the bullet removed from his shoulder because it would likely have been turned over to the authorities, and eventually be matched to the bullet extracted from Gregory Edgeworth. Plus, it would leave a doctor as a witness to testify if he was ever brought to trial for DL-6. For Von Karma, It was either implicate himself now, or implicate himself later. And because of the statute of limitations on murder, he chose later. He was playing the long game, counting on the statute of limitations expiring on DL-6 before having the bullet removed. It was purely logical on his end…. He really did commit the perfect crime. He just didn’t account for the protagonist.
One thing: Hazama and Terumi are two different characters. Hazama was created as an artificial human to contain Terumi’s soul and act as his hiding place while he spins his plans, but he has his own personality and goals separate from his passenger’s. In fact, as of Central Fiction, they’ve been separated into two bodies. Hazama’s a cruel evil fun troll too, but he’s not even half as bad as Terumi.
The funny thing is that for No. 2, he’s also in BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle who you can pair with Idachi (who was No. 10) so you can have 2 playable psychopaths as a team.
Jesus. I can see how No. 1 got the spot. That is a legitimately scary villain.
A psychopath is great at hiding in plain sight. That’s the key difference from sociopaths.
Thank you! Someone who understands!
Aren't both good at hiding in plain sight
I think the best way to describe the No.1 pick is this.
She would do literally everything everyone else on the list would do if she had the chance to do so.
And guess what? SHE DID.
I've always seen the difference between sociopaths and psychopaths as such:
Sociopaths are fully aware that what they do is wrong, they just simply do not care
Psychopaths have no moral compass whatsoever and cannot tell the difference between right and wrong
Is there more nuance than that, or might I just be wrong altogether?
You’re not wrong.
Manfred von Karma is a psychopath who killed his courtroom rival for “tarnishing” his perfect record, playing the long con to destroy his rival’s son (Edgeworth was responsible for von Karma getting shot by a stray bullet), and coercing a former suspect into helping frame his last target of hatred, meanwhile ignoring his very talented daughter.
Dahlia Hawthorn is a sociopath who loved no one, knew what she was doing was evil, framed others for her crimes, and killed anyone who she felt was getting in her way. Not even family mattered to her, nor having any love interests could stop her from going down an extremely dark path.
Exactly! People during the premiere thought manfred was a sociopath for some dumbass reason. Geez
So if he did a list of sociopath's in gaming would Baldur from God of War Ragnarok be on the list?
You have it backwards, Randomizer903. It's psychopaths that know right from wrong but simply don't care. Sociopaths are the ones that have no moral compass. Both Dahlia Hawthorne and Manfred von Karma knew right from wrong, but didn't care. Neither Dahlia nor Manfred were insane with delusions of grandeur. Manfred was impulsive and obsessed with perfection but he never believed he was a good person. Psychopaths lack long-term goals and need constant stimulation. Manfred's perfectionism was his constant stimulation. Dahlia's petty thefts (get her father's diamond by pretending to be Terry Fawle's hostage and get the necklace by pretending to be Phoenix Wright's girlfriend) were her constant stimulations. Psychopaths are also extremely organized in how they avoid getting caught. Manfred "took a vacation" and got rid of as much evidence linking him to DL-6 as possible minus the second bullet. Psychopaths are incapable of loving or caring about someone, unlike sociopaths. Manfred never loved Franziska as a daughter and only used her as a tool to fulfill his perfectionism. Same thing with Miles Edgeworth; Manfred adopts him after killing Gregory and arguably treats him worse than Franziska. Dahlia never loved Iris, the only person in her life who showed her any kindness. Dahlia used everyone as pawns for her short lived crimes and saw everyone as a liability. Not all psychopaths come from abusive households (it's more common with sociopaths), but a psychopath can still live a productive life and do good things if they are raised by loving parents. Psychopaths can't love or care about anyone even if they wanted too but them living a productive life without committing crimes is a possibility. I guarantee you if Dahlia was raised by Bikini alongside Iris instead of Morgan Fey, she wouldn't have been that awful of a person. Both Dahlia and Manfred are psychopaths. A sociopath in Ace Attorney is someone like Yanni Yogi or Mimi Miney.
I really shouldn't be surprised that Number 1 is a politician. But even then, JEEBUS CHRISTMAS!
Well at least he warned us right off the backs Junko wasn’t in here! XD
Yet people kept thinking kefka would be on the list
@@macaylacayton2915 Kefka is honestly probably both Psychopathic and Psychotic.
He was always a bad person and a monster, but what happened to him ended up making him far worse and more unhinged.
She doesn't deserve to be on the list anyway. It's baffling that he likes Junko and hates Tsumugi when Junko is worse than Tsumugi in basically every way
@@aneonfoxtribute Tsumugi is a more of a traditional psychopath, specifically a media type psychopath. She's typical
As a Touhou fan, do you have the slightest idea how little it narrows it down
I half-expected Vaas to be on the list, probably at number 1, but the actual number 1 psychopath BLEW HIM OUTTA THE WATER!
I wanted Luca Blight as at least an honorable mention because god damn is Luca Blight good for this list.
I was expecting Kefka, since it's Joshscorcher's favorite.
@@Rusticabcdwell yes but no on that
Strangely enough, Jhin is voiced by the same guy who voices Josh's favorite flaming member of Orginization 13, Quinton Flynn
1: Corrupt politician. That´s a good number 1
2: Does not really care of how his actions affects other and enjoys misery
3: Consequence of having no soul
5: Intresting how many emotionless villains there are in Pokemon and he really is one of them
6: Another narcissistic psycopath
7: The narcissistic psycopath.
9: Have not played Lol for a long time
10: The incel psycopath. I like though the fact there´s no broader reason for his actions, just boredom and wanting to have some fun.
Nice list. Some other choices I can think of are Dr Regal, Shido, Kazuya Mishima or Bryan Fury, Vholran and Majora
Cyrus isn't even emotionless. He represses himself severely but he very much not only has emotions, but very strong ones. I got the impression from his last scene in Platinum that total repression is the only way he can control them.
“Have I ever told you the definition of insanity? The idea of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”
Not the topic, read the description
YOU DON'T SAY-
@macaylacayton2915 No need to be harsh about it. He just wanted to quote Vaaz, who in all regards, is pretty much a psychopath himself.
@@macaylacayton2915 Vaas was a psychopath adjacent, I'm pretty sure. He also vehemently denied being insane, and was calling the Player Character, or at least the situation they created- insane.
Because they kept coming back, and he kept trying to get rid of them in different ways.
Vaas was just loud, not insane.
Vaas better at least get an honorable mention.
34:54 Are you telling me that at that moment of the earthquake the equivalent of the entire population of Guinea WAS ERASE FROM EXISTENCE!?
Eeyup. And while Josh only touched on it briefly, there is a full story path where you do nothing but spread her propaganda.
I've seen several people say Junko doesn't count for various reasons. I love Josh, but I gotta disagree here. I know he's not super familiar with the secondary material in the series.
1. Junko's 'insane' antics are not real. Monokuma is not her real self either. She puts on quite a few personalitys and switches constantly to keep herself from getting bored and to keep her foes on edge. On the rare occasions we see the 'real' Junko, she's just as cold and detached as what you're looking for.
2. Yes she was born this way. She herself confirms 'she cried tears of total despair' when she was born(and yes, she can remember it). And Danganronpa 0 confirms she was manipulating people and poisoning adults as a Toddler. Also she sent Mukuro off to train to be her personal attack dog when they were 8/9 years old.
3. Junko acts as 'extra' as she does in the games because by that point she's already won, and most of those people no longer remember her anyway. We see her facade active fully in Danganronpa 3, where she wins and succeeds in ending the world using what she stole from Mitarai and Matsuda. And in DR0 we see how she ruined Matsuda's life to turn him into a loyal asset and then engineered the worst possible ending for him with Ryoko. And in DR-IF, she drops the act while talking to Mukuro, and even Mukuro is caught off guard at just what her sister is really like.
I believe you've said before you've only played the games once and never saw DR3(Not V3 the non-canon game, 3 the anime that follows up on 2's ending in the future arc and explains what happened before DR1 in the despair arc), and yeah on a first playthrough if you don't play close attention I can see her being mistaken for just 'crazy'
Yeah Josh fell for Junko's 'crazy girl' acting.
The real Junko is utterly cold, ruthless, wants nothing more than to make all of humanity suffer for her own pleasure.
Most notably a scene midway through Danganronpa IF: The Button of Hope and The Tragic Warriors of Despair, where Mukuro is trying to talk to her Sister to reason their next move. Junko just completely drops the act and is completely unfeeling, just tells her sister it's time for her to die and she'll enjoy it.
@@danvsclips8326 also most of her psychopathic traits are NOT shown in the games
@@macaylacayton2915 We know just from the games she ended the world for her own amusement even if the specifics are vague
@@danvsclips8326 she’s, a boring character when you get down to the biscuits, when you take away her obsession with despair, there’s nothing to her
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Josh does topics about machiavellists and narcissists to complete the dark triad.
I'd be down to see it
Add sociopaths to that trifecta for an even better viewing experience and my vote would be cast immediately.
Duuude, that would be awesome!
Julia feels more like a villain from The Giver series rather than your usual video game villain.
I get leaving Vaas and Kefka off the list(Vaas is completely out to lunch and while Kefka was always a POS what happened to him made it worse), but Junko is not crazy or insane. She puts up personality’s to entertain herself. She is very much a psychopath and she gets worse and worse the closer you look at her. Her true personality fits the cold and uncaring qualified to a tee
Thank you for understanding! Too many people kept saying kefka during the premiere
10. The scary truth is psychopaths are sometimes so hard to spot you never know till it’s too late, often hiding behind their likable facade.
9. Hmm, a murder who kills for the sake of art? I wonder if he took an art class with Art The Clown or a drama class with a theater villain from a recognizable franchise *(try guessing).*
8. Now, I've met bullies before, but this is just ridiculous.
7. When I called karma a b!tch, this guy only proved me right.
6. Boy Howdy, I never hated a rich psychopath as hateable as Reaver.
5. Cyrus is a monster, and I wanna ask what Ari thinks of the psycho?
4. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, I hate this guy more than Cyril or Gilbert, and the worst part is Zephial's not above hurting or killing women and kids.
3. I saw this coming, and I still fear this flower.
2. Sheesh, it's villains like these who are behind everything that make me hate them for being the force to knock down the dominoes one by one.
1. You know how Fox Channel News is based on deception, hubris, lies, and bias? Well, this lady wipes her butt with Fox and every real-life politician.
If by lies, deception, hubris, and bias, you mean NOT taking the line that the progressive line is completely infallible, and that conservative movements are about egotistical apathy and/or malice (the implicit line that is the lie, deception, hubris, and bias of the other major networks).
Julia is basically news media and politicians in a nutshell lol. Honestly I kinda of want to play that game now
I think Xemnas still could have worked. I hold that what 3D revealed doesn't change how Ansem SOD and Xemnas were in their respective games. They may have been subtly guided by what Xehanort wanted, but their own desires and personalities drove them forward without realizing the ultimate goal until they were called to the future. And once they realized the truth, they just went along with it rather than have everything they worked for be crushed by the harsh truth of them being manipulated.
Yeah or They’re just as big of POS as their original self because Xemnas was ALWAYS lying about the organization’s goal. Regardless of whether you see the goal of organization 13 as a retcon. Xemnas was always lying to them about getting their Hearts Back. The KH2 Ultimania Think his personal goal for kingdom hearts were to become a godlike entity and remake the world which again isn’t that far off from what his true self wanted. And he more or less says this at the end of two
Shout out to the big bad from the fourth Ace Attorney game.
Kristoph Gavin seriously stands out from other Ace Attorney villains, if only because of how strangely serious and seemingly calm he always looks. Basically take everything Josh said about Von Karma, and add the little extra ingredient of Black Psyche-locks
As established in Dual Destinies, they only appear when someone is hiding a secret even they themselves aren't aware of. When asked about why he killed the victim from the first case, who turned out to be a defendant that dismissed him in an earlier case in favor of Phoenix, Black Psyche-locks appear on Kristoph. The general consensus is that these locks appeared because Kristoph is so far gone, that through his own ego and arrogance, he convinced himself that he did nothing wrong.
Von Karma's a pretty good choice too, if only because his presence throughout the series is greater, but I have to give props to Kristoph for being such an intensely rotten man, despite his brief appearance
What’s crazy is Julia Salisbury sounds like a real politician from today’s world 😂
Well yeah duh
Not for Broadcast is a massive satire on general politics, after all.
About Manfred's bullet wound... It's the SHOULDER, not the chest.
Every argument you could use against Junko would either also apply to other 'eccentric' psychopaths like Terumi or Flowey, or is disproven by the secondary media that delves into Junko's true personality.
Again that’s secondary media not the main games, Josh sticks to the main games
Also, Jhin's violin (violo?) has 4 strings
How did The Dark Urge not make this list and Cazador did? I love how The Dark Urge origin puts the role of psychopath in YOUR hands to decide how to go about it. While it's fun to fully sink into the evil impulses of the route, I prefer the redemption path because I think it's a good portrayal of struggling against the psychopath within yourself rather than a separate entity.
The Dark Urge can be stopped or held at bay for a while. Cazador willfully enslaves and tortures his thralls, causing a ton of mental, physical and emotional damage to them. Just ask Astarion how he lived under Cazador’s control.
In the case of number 1, especially since I played Not for Broadcast, it's freaking ironic that I enjoyed Peter Clement a lot more. His drunken antics, his sailor mouth, and his temper towards certain situations. At least he was himself, which is more than I can say about miss Salisbury steak. Shoot, given the choices you make in the game, one of the people that dies in the explosion could be your own daughter. Christ!
Or your spouse's sibling. Or both!
I... I had no idea Broadcast had plot. 0.0 I seriously underestimated that game!
“A meat bicycle built for 2”
If Jhin got into number 4, it's going to be PERFECT
And yet he's at number 9
@@kirbo4964 9 is the easiest to modify into 4.
This is perfect for Ace Attorney and Danganronpa. Also love the Psych reference 2:21 and MrBallin shout out
Maybe. We will see if those characters are in the list
@@RavenGamingOverLordonly Manfred Von Karma made the cut.
@@thestrange2742 Yep seems like it, I just got to that part of the video
@@thestrange2742 really? I’m surprised there weren’t more. Like Dahlia, The Phantom, Gahran, or Klavier
@@jcj268 they are over the top so they probably didn't make the cut.
That last game actually sounds AMAZING. I’m going to have to track it down sometime.
Honestly, was not expecting Andrew and Ashley Graves to make it into the Honorable Mentions.
Having played Coffin of Andy and Leyley, I would have been appalled I'd they didn't make honorable mentions at minimum. Especially since they got started really early, and never quite improved.
Josh. Editors. You've done it again! Gave everyone a number 1 that no one saw coming and delivered with great reasons why they deserve that spot. (Though then again can't really top a politician when it comes to psychotics am I right?)
That was NO politician. It was something MUCH worse.😰
I will say that I don’t fully agree with Junko not being on the list because she’s ‘crazy’.
Her unhinged personality you said made her ‘insane’ is very clearly a facade to keep her from getting bored. So is Monokuma. We meet her true self at the end of the first game, very cold, very sterile, just wants to end the world for a quick bit of entertainment. The creator themself calls her one.
Specifically, she's a Sadistic Psychopath(which despite which some of the other commenters think aren't completely different things, Sadistic Psychopaths are a thing, and no they aren't the same thing as sociopaths). And we actually know not only she was born that way, but we can pinpoint exactly why.
She's a psychopath because of her talent, Ultimate Analyst. She's literally known everything that is going to happen since she was a baby, it makes her bored. Despair is not predictable.
She's a sadist(and also a psychopath again) because of defects in the pleasure and pain part of her brain, though this is also contributing to the psychopathy.
We can confirm these are both true because we have other cases. Hajime wasn't a psychopath, but after he got Ultimate Analysis and became Kamakura he absolutely was(he eventually pulled himself out of it, but that was after years of working with Junko and it's implied the fact he had the 'Ultimate Hope' talent in him alongside some remnants of Hajime is what saved him).
Chisa wasn't a sadist or a psychopath until Junko played ice-pick lobotomy with her brain and messed with the part of her brain that's messed up. Then she was. In-fact this also implies that even without the talent mentioned above she'd still be a Psychopath. Chisa became both a sadist and a psychopath after the surgery, and was able to keep her head down and convince the whole future foundation everything was fine for years even as she was sabotaging their operations and occasionally murdering toddlers on the side for a quick laugh. She can also induce the latter with brainwashing(either long and slow like with Monaca or with stolen technology like Class 77), but that can be undone. What she did to Chisa was unfixable.
Also, Junko feeling 'empathy' and wanting to share her despair with others because she thinks it's for the best? That's a lie she tells people like Mukuro or Monaca. Mukuro tries to talk to her on her level after her betrayal in Danganronpa IF and Junko after a bit of goofing around just drops the act entirely and tells Mukuro she's going to enjoy watching her die after seeing how much Mukuro still loves her.
Speaking of DR-IF, there's a single line in there that confirms Junko was the one who ordered Mukuro to run away on a vacation when she was 9(Junko was 8 at the time), and that Junko was already planning to unleash despair upon the world at this point. So at least since she was 8.
DR0 actually pushes that back further. Junko at Age 5 was working to manipulate her best friend, Matsuda, into becoming loyal and dependant on her. She did this by poisoning his mom to make her sickly and borderline-dementiac, and then gaslighting and manipulating him into losing her other friends. This is because Matsuda(alongside being an easy target like her sister) was already showing promise as a Neurological prodigy and thanks to her talent Junko could predict he'd grow up to be the best in the world. Matsuda is the one who gave Junko mind erasing technology, and it was the combination of his research and the animation techniques that she stole from Mitarai that would allow her to create both brainwashing videos and 'un-alive yourself' videos.
If you think Junko is crazy, you've fallen for the facade she puts on to entertain herself and make people uncomfortable. If you think she's delusional and thinks despair is better for other people, you've fallen for the lie she tells her close followers like Mukuro, Matsuda, and Izuru Kamakura. Not even Mukuro truly understood Junko, that's the entire plot of DRIF. So using her words as evidence of her not being a psychopath is a bad idea.
I believe that Josh has his own philosophies for his countdowns. One of them being that he mostly keeps it to what's shown in games, usually main ones. I think that's what prevents Junko from being in. He generally doesn't include things that are on side-materials. That is why despite with his adoration and obsession with Kingdom Hearts, he'll nitpick the confusing storyline, because of the series' obsession in putting plot-important things in non-game materials.
And well, most of the Junko psychopathy isn't from the games as mentioned... so for him, she does look more like a typical crazy.
@@ChrisX_212 Junko has barely an hour of screentime in the actual main series games, half that if you don't count the AI copy. About 40 minutes at the end of the first two games, mostly being intentionally confusing and deceitful to mess with the cast. Her real self has less than a minute of screentime.
Basically everything we actually know about her that isn't third or fourth hand or a lie is from the side materials. Danganronpa Zero(Novel), Danganronpa IF(Novel), and the anime specifically.
MAD Scientist??
@@ChrisX_212 exactly! most of junko's psychopathy is OUTSIDE the games like the end of hope's peak anime
@@macaylacayton2915 This is why I can explain why Josh excludes her. It clashes against his philosophies that a good storytelling in game means that one does not put a plot important point in a side material.
As much as I loved seeing Dimentio being the number transition, I wished he would've gotten mentioned because he played EVERYONE like a fiddle!
Calling it now, Flowey
He literally soulless, which is something that describes sociopaths/psychopaths
I’m expecting to see him in this list too
Top 3
If I don’t see Cyrus from Pokémon on here then I’m calling this show rigged.
Guess it's not rigged.
I was gonna say that Ghetsis should be here, but then I thought about how Cyrus is much more of a psychopath by the traditional definition. Ghetsis is definitely more cruel and evil, but Cyrus is definitely more of a psychopath
Same.

Never, in my LIFE, would i think Not For Broadcast would top one of your lists, let alone be on your radar! Applause for still managing to surprise us after all these years!
Oh wow, didn't think I would ever see Not For Broadcast here! I played through it once and loved it, wish it had more players. It does have replayability, but man does it drag, it's not a short game. I mean it's not a bad thing, but with 14 different endings and one playthrough taking maybe 6 hours? Good luck, heh.
Gotta love Cyrus and the fact he has a Crobat
holy shit this is the first time ive seen any popular youtuber mention not for broadcast. more people need to play that game its so good
Zero Punctuation did a review on it back before the rebrand, if I recall
38:11 what is worst then a psychopath with raw power? A Psychopath with POLITICAL power
I was entirely expecting junko going into this.
Junko' more of a sociopath than a Psycopath.
Basically, she can feel empathy, but it' so weak that it' ends up backfiring, creating a feed back loop that emphasizes her sadism.
He did say that Junko won’t be in the list
I was expecting Kanade.
@@WarmLusamine I don’t think he would count fan games
@@loganolson5316 Yeah… and I also feel like Junko, Terumi and Julia are a lot more dangerous than Kanade dispute her being more terrifying
I don't know if, Adachi counts as a psychopath. Arena ultimax shows he actually cares about, Dojima to some extent. He basically roasts an officer for talking badly about him.
To be fair he was only number 10
That's fair but still it just feels weird to see him on this list.
@@nightmarearcade2663I mean he shoved a bunch of people into tvs, literally leaving them to die to shadows, OUT OF BOREDOM
Yes however a Physcopath is someone incapable of empathizing or connecting with others. Adachi, however is capable of it he just chose not to. Like I said earlier arena ultimax showed he had some care for, Dojima and got genuinely angry when he was bad mouthed. If anything I think he fits more as a sociopath.
I love Yūki Terumi so munch he is my favorite character in blazeblue nothing will change that.
I like to give a mention to MAIK, the main villain from World's End Club
a super computer and AI, that was created by the father from 1 of the main characters
with the goal of solving world problems, like preserving the Earth's environment
but through a simulation, MAIK determined that in order to do that, humans need to be stopped
but instead of simply killing them, MAIK instead created a method to remove humanities emotions, and locked them away
so that nature can return to normal
Simeon from Octopath Traveler is one i quite enjoy
AKA:
"The FUNERAL BAGPIPER FOR ALL LOGIC!"
I've never heard of Not For Broadcast...
But HOLY (YAY)! She's more evil than Senator Armstrong!
Julia: What do you have that I don’t?
Senator Armstrong: Nanomachines, son!
I mean, Armstrong isn't really evil anyway.
Having played Not For Broadcast this year, I agree Julia deserves the top spot. Especially since one career psychopaths IRL gravitate towards to is politics (and being a lawyer, which was Julia's prior career before going into politics).
So yeah, unlike a majority of characters on the list, people like Julia actually exist.
I’m glad to see Gary Smith from Bully got the pick instead of Trevor Phillips from GTA V. I hear people calling Trevor a psychopath when he is more of a sociopath. Psychopaths and sociopaths are not the same people no matter how much the terms are conflated. Psychopaths are incapable of feeling empathy for others even if they wanted to. At least sociopaths have friends and family members they care about. Trevor is loyal to Franklin, Lamar, Lester, Patricia, Michael (when he admits fault) and Michael’s family. Michael’s son Jimmy calls Trevor “Uncle T” because how much he cares about him. A psychopath like Gary doesn’t value loyalty. Trevor is insane, but he will kill you only if you betray him or annoy him enough like what he does to Johnny Klebitz. Gary is a sane, sadistic, manipulative, narcissistic, and unempathetic. There is no person Gary shows empathy or loyalty towards as everyone is a pawn to his ends. Trevor is a SOCIOPATH and Gary is a PSYCHOPATH.
Except according to the medical definition you can’t diagnose a minor with ASPD. (Psychopath and Sociopath aren’t medical terms, they’re media terms to distinguish different types of ASPD).
A better Rockstar pick would have been either Dimitri Rascalov or Lionel Starkweather
Here's another hidden gem Psychopath from gaming
Dr. Angus Bumby, "Alice: Madness Returns"
Bumby serves as Alice's therapist who helped her forget about her traumatic past about the fire that killed her family which may or may not be Alice's fault. But as she journies into her Wonderland, secrets have been revealed that it was actually Bumby who caused the fire, after he r&*#ed Alice's sister.
So he used hypno therapy to help her forget everything to cover his tracks and if Alice attempted to remember she would feel guilt as she blamed herself for the burning of her home. If that wasn't horrible enough, he used the Foster Home for children he was working at to hypnotize children into mindless sex slaves. He felt no compassion for the youth, and only cared about making a living out of the lives of orphans.
Even being confronted by Alice in the real world, Bumby admitted to it all including assaulting her sister brushing her off as a tease who wanted him at the end. Even after being told she will turn him in, Bumby confirmed no one will believe a former asylum patient over a therapist. So with no alternative, Alice pushed him infront of a train, avenging her family and ending his evil.
Or did she?
Because in the cancelled game Alice: Asylum, Wilton J. Radcliffe was also involved with Bumby's scheme.
@@thatman666 since it was canceled can’t count it
So hey I learned something today. I could use a few of these characters for some ideas.
10. Not bad for a first pick.
9. GS's influence is on this entry I know it!
8. I like that fake out. And it's also great to hear more of this game.
7. Yeah this guy is a monster and a terrible father. Also I didn't know about the comparison, nice!
6. And here's Ari's influence.
5. This entry was expected. The result of bad parents.
4. And I thought Dimitri would be here but he gets a bit too emotional. I'm also glad the GBA games get some love.
3. Eh I would put this guy lower in all honesty.
2. QG's influence is in this entry and well deserved!
1. I hate her! I don't even know the game and I hate her!
Eh, for Ace Attorney I would have gone for the true mastermind of Kenji 2: Simon Keyes. Not only he did exactly what Manfred did but in a bigger scale, but he also got everything he wanted as well. Knightley? Killed as planned. Patricia Roland? Arrested for the murder of Knightley, also as planned. Blaise Debeste? Arrested for the murder of Jill Crane, also as planned as well. And Di-Jung-Huang's body double? Killed on a lucky encounter. He not only managed to mastermind the entire game, but he also played a warden of a prison, a High Prossecutor and a President (the body double had arrange things so that he would be seen as the president of Zeng Fa) as his puppets. Even Miles Edgeworth was acting as planned! By the time Miles manages to catch him, he already won.
By that logic, might as well put Matt Engarde nearly on the same level. (Then again, he’s both psychopathic and sociopathic.)
@@LunaP1 I mean, Matt barely did anything in his case and he was the villain of the last case only. Simon is the villain of an entire game and was behind 4 of the 5 cases.
28:14
I wouldn’t worry too much about that, Toby Fox hates making irredeemable psychopaths with no redeeming qualities. There’s a reason why Flowey was given a tragic past and was given redemption in the Pacifist Run.
Flowey is still a psychopath though. He can't feel.
He just has a reason and it can be somewhat fixed
@@judithmorgendorffer6106 no denying that. I’m just saying that Flowey is a redeemable psychopath, and Toby Fox hates making characters that are truly irredeemable.
I have never played the Layton series. But thank you for showing that the #1 spot can make Bill Hawks look like a saint!
How is Junko NOT a psychopath? After what she did to Matsuda, Mukuro, Mitarai, Mikan, Monaca, Chiaki, Chisa, and her Classmates?
That was more like sadistic.
I would call it sadistic side showing. I still hate her for what she did to Chiaki and other characters
A sadist and a psychopath are different things a sadist takes joy in inflicting whatever trauma and pain onto others while a psychopath has no empathy or emotion in what they do
She's a weird case because she does things just to do them. Psychopaths tend to have some sort of goal, twisted as it may be, Junko just doesn't. She's more a force of nature than an actual written character
@@pedrorosa9893 Sadistic Psychopaths exist, see Anton Chiguruh. Non Sadistic ones also exist, see most businessmen.
Little shocked William Afton didn’t show up on this list. Dude’s favorite pastime was kidnapping little kids, killing them, and stuffing their corpses in animatronics.
Low hanging fruit.
Excited about this one! Can't wait to see who you choose!
Finally some Not for Broadcast love
18:24 funny enough Cyrus in the manga is the exact opposite of his game counterpart.
Like game Cyrus manga Cyrus still sees the world as flawed but in contrast to the cliched game adaptation manga Cyrus sees the world as flawed BECAUSE of his lack of emotions.
To describe manga Cyrus you could say that he’s a man with two key interests. The complexity of machinery and ancient history. He learned and was enamored with the origins of sinnoh specifically of the lake trios concept of wisdom will and emotion. However due to this and his aforementioned lack of emotion he saw the world as incomplete, always lacking in one of the three concepts so his entire ambition was to remake the world so it could be whole embodying all three concepts once again for peace.
It wasn’t until the climax and aftermath of the Diamond and Pearl arc after witnessing the three main characters embodying all three aspects (dia for emotion, pearl for will, and platina for wisdom) Cyrus comes to his conclusion that even if the individual is incompleteone can feel completion when surrounded by others who care for you.
Another contrast between game and manga Cyrus is their impression of giratina. While game Cyrus was enamored by the antimatter Pokémon manga Cyrus rejected it as an affront to his desire of completion almost acting like the empty void he wishes to fill.
Again that’s outside video games and not necessarily even canon
@@macaylacayton2915 what so the anime gets a free pass for recognition by piggybacking off of the games, but the manga that has been in circulation for as long as the game and anime series despite only having a fraction of the support or recognition while simultaneously providing their own stories can’t even be acknowledged for the actual legitimate creativity that goes into their writing.
Ok so you SPECIFICALLY mean the Adventures manga and not, say, DPA or whatever. But even there he isn't emotionless, and even comes to feel such strong gratitude that he attracts the attention of Shaymin.
@@lunerblade13 Anime Cyrus is a bastardization to the point where I have to question if the writers even bothered to play the damn game. He had almost nothing to do with anything Cyrus believes in.
@@BJGvideos to be fair it’s more so that Cyrus believes that he is emotionless rather then being truly emotionless. It can be seen in the loyalty his admins give to him he just can’t see it for himself.
It’s only until the platinum arc when he is forced in the distortion world on top of spending time with Dia that Cyrus beings to express himself more and undergo a revelation of self.
The despair off not being on this list is enough for Junko...
Number 9 his Fixation on fours is actually a Big Japanese reference
As the Japanese way to say 4 matches with the Japanese word for Death.
That was brought you fool
Gonna assume you aren’t super familiar with Danganronpa lore. Junko is a creator confirmed psychopath. She’s cold and uncaring, she just puts on a looney persona to keep herself from getting bored. The spin-off materials (specifically the prequel novel Zero, the AU novel IF, and the DR3 anime) makes it clear what she is. She actually has a ton in common with Number 2 and Number 1, except The Tragedy killed more than half of humanity and destroyed all the pre-existing nation states. Julia could only hurt her own country.
Wouldn't that make her a sociopath?
She's still pretty over the top insane. Yeah she's cold, but she literally has no logic to her actions, there's a reason she outright says trying to understand her is pointless.
@@librathebeautifulwarmonk1283 Being logical isn't actually a requirement to be a psychopath clinically, just being unfeeling and unemphatic.
Sadistic Psychopaths exist along with Non-Sadistic Psychopaths. Pyschopaths can also have secondary mental health issues like substance abuse or even delusional disorders which combine to make things worse. Kefka honestly is both Psychopathic and Psychotic, born the former, made the latter.
Junko's logic is she wants to maximise despair because it gets her off and is the only thing that keeps her from getting bored. She then proceeds to end the world and engineer a ton of horrific events. She's very similar to many ways to Julia and Terumi
@@librathebeautifulwarmonk1283 Facade. Not the real her
@@kalkuttadrop6371 I always headcanoned Junko as like an embodiment of despair itself, akin to the grim reaper with death. Especially with all the goddess of despair talk in DR2. Instead of a mysterious rotting shadowy skeleton looming over you for the right time to strike she's an impossibly gorgeous and talented lady no one could hope to live up to. It would have been so cool if they leaned into that more with her poking at people's insecurities and making them spiral into hopelessness. They only really give you little tastes like the despair disease and the Warriors of Hope. It made Monaca much more of an imposing presence that we got to see some of those imprinted behaviors onscreen, because no one really takes Junko that seriously or cares to understand her ideology in the main games.
Ya know, Cyrus's plot in Masters EX sounds a lot like the Tsukinome Project from Naruto Shippuden. Trapping people in a world of dreams was exactly Madara's plan, after all.
Another list with a completely unexpacted number 1 and frankly I like it.
I was expecting junko, Ngl, but thnx for giving bully and NFB credit. I always thought Julia was someone who wanted to do good but didn’t realize how hard it was. Didn’t realize how messed up she really was.
Everybody gangsta until Ted Bundy is in the number one spot
(The title currently just says “Top 10 psychopaths” and not “Top 10 psychopaths in gaming”)
Well you are close.
Trust me, Ted Bundy WISHES he was Julia Salisbury.
he does gaming top 10s unless specified otherwise, does he need to put in gaming?
Sam and Max footage at the start? Persona 4, Blazblue, Phoenix Wright, and Prototype mentioned? BASED.
Cyrus was honestly my favorite Pokemon villain.
Same
I'm surprised Dimentio didn't make the cut, given how subtle his scheme was.
37:25 Julia: I ask you, is it a crime to strive for perfection in all things?
Me: In this case, yes. It is a massive crime.
Kudos... I sincerely thought you were going to put Kefka at No.01
Talk about "Subverting expectations" Bravo JoshScorcher Bravo!!
If Joshscorcher makes a sociopath top ten, maybe there will be a Mephiles the Dark
Kind of amusingly I wouldn’t say that Terumi is a psychopath… he’s too volatile and emotional.
He’s capable of forming connections with other people even if it only ever is hate. You could make the case for high-functioning sociopathy instead, given his violent mood swings and reactions to other people, especially when they call him out on his bullshit.
His longtime host, arguably the closest thing he has to a friend Hazama on the other hand… is a textbook psychopath.
He literally is detached from the sensation of ‘feeling’ trying to comprehend the concept of pain because that’s the only ‘feeling’ he’s ever truly experienced.
By the end of Central Fiction he makes the comprehension of suffering his meaning, because that’s what defines his existence separate from Terumi.
The most feeling he can ever drum up is mild disgust or dislike, mostly of the truly empathetic and kind characters that are antithetical to his comprehension of life.
The man has such little emotional capacity that causing enough pain to die over hundred times is little more than an experiment, not born out of malice but mere curiosity.
He’s capable of feigning a semblance of social behaviour in a way that Terumi never has the self-control to do (hence why Hazama is his masquerade personality).
Come Chronophantasma and Central Fiction especially it becomes clear that Hazama has formed his own existence separate from Terumi, they are separate and distinct characters, so you can’t really ascribe everything said on this list just to Terumi.” which is the reason why I bothered to type all this out.
Also just a nitpick because I’ve already come this far, Terumi is not a god of chaos… He is the God of Destruction, it’s literally the name of his Boss theme (in his final form) “Hakaishin”.
His usual theme is “Silent Scream” which can mean a lot of things depending on his sadism but also his fundamental hatred of existence that being forced to live within Amaterasu’s creation is a kind of rage inducing torment to him.
This is a creature who loathes the idea of constraint. Of being told what to do, of being subservient. This is a spirit who tore his own soul out of his body because it represented his servitude, a prison he only goes back into in a desperate bid to escape the crumbling reality that is an even larger prison.
Not going to lie, even though I have played the entry at Number 1; I did not expect it to appear on any sort of list, kudos to you for bringing it to a wider audience.
When I saw this list, I went in hoping for good old Terumi... I was not disappointed.
About time Not for Broadcast was put on a countdown. Believe me, I didn’t expect Julia to take the “W” on this countdown.
Fun thing about Flowey, he gets even scarier in Undertale Yellow, where he is even more manipulative to Clover and gives an even more nightmarish final neutral fight in Meta Flowey. A fight that, according to what I heard, took an entire YEAR to code and animate!
That's a fan-game, not canon
@@kalkuttadrop6371
Sure, I'm aware, but I'm sure Toby Fox is well aware of it and probably supports it
19:55 a reference to doobus goobus… I’m okay with this. In fact I love this!
While I'm sad adachi is low on the list I'm glade he's in at all
After hearing everything about the number 1 choice, I think we can agree that she is easily one of the coldest, cruelest, vilest, most evil, utterly irredeemable characters ever seen.
Okay Josh you have no idea how EXCITED I was when you put Hazama/Terumi from BlazBlue on the list! 13 year old has some BEEF with that man of what he did! He was just nothing but chaos, insanity, corruption! He was MADNESS. I never wanted to see a character get his ass handed to in my life!
William afron will be here, right?
Wow, if you really wanna push the karma is lawyer freeza comparison, then then slick back hair could be ace attorney's version of the spiky saiyan hairdo.
Okay your number 2 is great. But he did save the world in Blazblue cross tag battle DLC and the story mode was still a troll post mostly controlled by him.
Manfred Von Karma as the Ace Attorny rep was a little bit of a surprise, I was expecting Dhalia.
Fingers crossed that Kefka Palazzo is on this countdown of video game psychopaths.
No he didn’t count, for the same reason Junko didn’t count
