5 Naraku

He Sought To Erase His Humanity

Naraku Inuyasha
Name of Manga Inuyasha
Author Rumiko Takahashi

Number of Chapters 558

Naraku was the primary antagonist of Inuyasha. He was a vicious villain who loved to inflict pain and suffering on others, but most especially, 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 he associated with it and sought to erase it.

Naraku sought out the Shikon Jewel, a powerful spherical jewel that grants its user limitless power, and used whatever means possible to attain it, eventually seeking powerful demons he could absorb and assimilate into himself to gain power and inch him closer to his goal. The story of Inuyasha was much darker than most remember, and besides Naraku’s power-up after assembling all the shards of the Shikon jewel, he was a ruthless mastermind who orchestrated and killed many precisely, a villain who would do anything it took to win.
