JIN WOO KILLS LOW-LIFE HUNTERS (SOLO LEVELING)
Jin Woo was just an E-rank hunter who was weak and struggling to survive.
But after his chad awakening, he became a one-man army.
However these scumbags had no idea as they plotted to trap our MC and his new-found buddy with the dungeon boss, so that they could steal all their loot once they’re dead.
But of course, things didn’t quite go as they planned.
Jin Woo not only survived the dungeon, but he outclassed its boss.
And when the traitors finally decided to do the dirty work themselves, our guy absolutely annihilated them.
With cold calculated moves, he ended them so fast, proving that the weak he once was… no longer existed.
A perfect, instant revenge kill.
ITADORI VS MAHITO (JUJUTSU KAISEN)
Mahito had tormented Itadori for a good half of the story, taking away people he cared about most.
First it was Junpei, our MCs best bud and then it was his beloved mentor, daddy Nanami.
He killed both of them right in front of our poor boy, leaving him completely broken.
And honestly, his rotten personality on top of all that would make even the purest of souls summon a meteor on this a-holes’ face.
And that’s exactly why this final showdown between these arch-enemies was absolutely mind blowing.
With sheer determination and overwhelming hate, our MC showed no hesitation as he beat Mahito to a bloody pulp.
He made sure the cursed spirit understood the true meaning of fear and literally made the guy beg for his life.
While it was a bit disappointing he didn’t die at the hands of our MC, I’m simply glad the guy is gone for good.
MAKOTO RAGE KILLS (TSUKIMICHI MOONLIT FANTASY)
Makoto used to be a sweet and kind guy, who might’ve been a bit too soft and naive, but that’s exactly why he trusted these adventurers into his hard built city.
However, all he got in return for his trust was betrayal.
These plunderers felt no gratitude towards his hospitality and stole from the very people who treated them as friends.
To make matters worse, they hurt dozens of beast folks and even killed one of them in the process.
Watching the lifeless body of his loyal subject and dozens of others seriously injured, something inside him snapped, and he went full-on rage mode.
What came next was a brutal and unforgiving revenge kill.
The sheer hatred for his enemies and the way he coldly kills this woman without any mercy is both terrifying and incredibly satisfying to watch.
SHIKAMARU VS HIDAN (NARUTO SHIPPUDEN)
Shikamaru is usually the calm and collected type who doesn’t let his emotions get the better of him, but when Hidan killed Asuma, it became personal.
Instead of rushing in, our guy used his genius-level IQ to set a perfect trap that could even do-in this immortal man.
He outsmarted Hidan, blowing him up and burying him alive, ensuring he would never see the light of day ever again.
This wasn’t just about revenge. It was about justice. And boy, was it satisfying.
KURAPIKA VS UVOGIN (HUNTER X HUNTER)
Kurapika had one goal: to avenge his fallen clan.
And his revenge kill spree starts with Uvogin, one of the strongest members of the Phantom Troupe.
He was responsible for slaughtering dozens of Kurapika’s people.
Uvogin thought he could crush Kurapika easily, but he was dead wrong.
Using his chain abilities developed solely to destroy the Phantom Troupe, Kurapika completely dominated him, refusing to show mercy.
He crushed Uvogin’s heart and proceeded to bury his body, showing that revenge was the only thing keeping him going.
LELOUCH KILLS HIS PARENTS (CODE GEASS)
Imagine your own father ruining your life, destroying your future, and making the entire world suffer so that he could achieve his dreams.
That’s exactly what happened to our boy Lelouch in Code Geass.
And when our MC found out the truth about his parent’s cruel plans, he didn’t hesitate one bit.
Using his special ability, he forced them into an eternal void, erasing them from existence and stopped their heartless endeavours.
It was cold, ruthless, and exactly what they deserved.
GOHAN OBLITERATES CELL (DRAGON BALL Z)
Cell had already done enough damage by killing Goku, nearly wiping out the Earth, and tormenting Gohan.
But when our boy finally snapped, he unleashed his Super Saiyan 2 form and gave Cell the most humiliating beatdown ever.
With just one hand, he fired the most epic Kamehameha ever, completely erasing the villain from existence.
The build-up, the emotions, and the payback… this was one of the most satisfying revenge kills in Dragon Ball history!
GOJO VS TOJI (JUJUTSU KAISEN)
Next up is yet another Jujutsu Kaisen moment, but this time it’s centered around our stylish and cool Gojo Satoeru.
Toji was a monster of a man who had no curse energy whatsoever, but still managed to take down the most powerful sorcerers known to humanity.
But after he nearly killed Gojo, he made one fatal mistake… not doing a pulse check.
Our guy narrowly escaped death and made an insane comeback that Toji never saw coming.
The near death experience made the already overpowered Gojo a true powerhouse and he became stronger than ever.
With his Limitless Cursed Technique and Hollow Purple, he obliterated Toji in a way that was both brutal and poetic.
SCAR KILLS SHOU TUCKER (FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST: BROTHERHOOD)
This one is sort of a revenge kill, butit’s really more of a karmic retribution.
Shou Tucker is one of the most hated characters in anime history.
After what he did to his own daughter Nina, fans wanted to see him suffer.
This lunatic man fused his only daughter with his precious dog only to keep his research funding.
While our MC delivered some brutal punches that sent the guy flying, he really deserved much worse.
And Scar made sure to make it happen.
With no mercy, he used his destruction alchemy to erase Tucker from existence.
It was cold, brutal, and exactly what the a-hole deserved.
HIYORI KILLS OROCHI (ONE PIECE)
Kurozumi Orochi was a cowardly tyrant who caused unimaginable suffering in the land of Wano.
For 20 long years, this man tortured thousands of people and made their life a living hell.
From poisoning their waters to working them like slaves, this guy treated them like shit, and laughed at their suffering.
And when the rebellion finally broke out, he legit thought he could escape justice, but Hiyori made sure he paid for his crimes.
She trapped him in a burning building and reminded him of all the pain he caused before delivering the finishing blow.
It wasn’t just a revenge kill, it was the end of an era of humiliation and suffering.
KANEKI VS JASON (TOKYO GHOUL)
Jason tortured Kaaneki and broke his mind and body using the most bloodiest and extreme torture techniques in existence.
But when our MC finally snapped, he turned the tables on the guy in the most brutal way possible.
Every hit, every bone he broke… it was all paid back with interest.
Watching Kaaneki take control and destroy Jason using the same torture technique that was used on him, is one of the most satisfying moments in anime history.
RIMURU VS CLAYMAN (TENSURA)
When it comes to revenge kills in anime, Rimuru vs. Clayman from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is one of the most satisfying.
Clayman had spent the entire series scheming, manipulating, and hurting innocent people, thinking he was untouchable.
But when he finally pushed Rimuru too far, he dug his own grave.
Clayman was responsible for manipulating Milim, betraying the other Demon Lords, and worst of all, orchestrating the slaughter of innocent people in Tempest.
This last act was what truly set Rimuru off.
The death of his closest friends made our MC evolve into a Demon Lord, and from that moment on, Clayman’s days were numbered.
Not knowing where he stands, Clayman arrogantly challenges Rimuru, still believing he could win.
But the moment the fight started, it was clear. It wasn’t a battle, it was an execution.
Rimuru toys with him, dodging his attacks effortlessly, all while exposing his lies in front of the other Demon Lords.
With one final Merciless attack, our guy crushes the villain without breaking a sweat, ending his miserable existence. Talk about one hell of a payback.
MELIODAS KILLS FRAUDRIN (SEVEN DEADLY SINS)
Fraudrin was one of the worst kinda villains who manipulated things from the shadows.
This guy was responsible for killing the MC’s love and awakening ten of the strongest demons in the human world, causing unimaginable destruction.
But when our MC finally met this guy in person, it was game over.
Our guy casually reminded us why he was called the Dragon Sin of wrath.
Meliodas shows no mercy, and completely toys with the villain before destroying him with a single, devastating attack.
It was cold, ruthless, and the perfect revenge for everything Fraudrin had done.
STEP-DADDIES KILL THEIR DAUGHTER’S REAL MOTHER’S MURDERER (BUDDY DADDIES)
This is one of the most underrated revenge kills in anime.
There’s this guy who is a psychopathic murderer that likes collecting people’s last words.
But he really crossed the line when he killed an innocent mother who was reconnecting with her daughter after a long time.
And when the step-daddies found out about this, they didn’t hesitate.
Even though it meant betraying and going against one of the most powerful syndicates in town, these guys sketched out the perfect revenge.
With precision calculation and cold determination, they eliminated the killer and a whole lot of other mafia goons along with him, ensuring their daughter can live a safe and peaceful life once again.
DEMON LORD’S DAUGHTER BEHEADS THE VILLAIN (ISEKAI SHIKKAKU)
No matter how you think about it, power drunk heroes are always worse than purpose-driven villains.
Which is pretty much the entire plot of No longer allowed in another world.
This former hero-turned-villain eats the demon lord’s flesh and gains unimaginable powers that he uses to torment people.
But karma hit hard when the Demon Lord’s daughter arrived on scene with vengeance burning in her heart.
Just as the villain powered up after a long fight with one of the main characters, our demon girl jumped into the battle and one-shotted the villain, beheading him in an instant.
No long speeches, no drawn-out fight. Just pure, cold execution.
And honestly? That’s exactly what he deserved.
