Naraku was Inuyasha's main antagonist. He was a vicious villain who enjoyed causing pain and suffering to others, but most of all, he was extremely deadly and became very powerful. He was a Hanyo, a half-human, half-demon fusion without the typical weaknesses that come with that race, but he despised his humanity and the weakness it associated with and sought to erase it.


Naraku sought the Shikon Jewel, a powerful spherical gem that grants its user unlimited power, and used any means possible to attain it, ultimately seeking out powerful demons that he could absorb and assimilate into himself to gain power and close to his goal.

Aizen was the former captain of the 5th Division and a recurring antagonist of Bleach. He was shown to be gentle and kind before he was eventually revealed to have ulterior motives.

Through numerous arcs and chapters, Aizen is shown to be extremely malicious and evil, doing extremely terrible things without regard to who he uses or what means he uses to achieve his goals.

Throughout the anime, Aizen grew stronger in each encounter; at his base level, he was a strong captain, making him a worthy opponent from his first appearance. Aizen later merged with Hōgyoku, becoming even more powerful, giving him enough power to lead the Espadas through his power alone.
