User blog comment:Loolveus/Characters close to being Pure Evil but not truly qualifying/@comment-14211102-20180912003845

Aku from Samurai Jack is probably the most evil non-PE villain I've seen in a cartoon. The only reasons why he doesn't qualify is because he's too funny and Made of Evil.

That being said I still don't think any of those arguments stand any ground, seeing as how we have other laughably evil villains like Joker and especially Bill Cipher in the PE category and Aku is clearly seen to have moral agency seeing as how he is aware he is evil and Jack is good, but I digress.
