Again you should probably leave out what other people think a complete monster is, since, in general, their opinions don't generally count, because they may not know the criteria relating to this trope. As far as I can tell, all of the Bullies passed the criteria for this category. None of the Bullies were depicted in a positive light, nor were they given a backstory to explain them as being evil, they never felt remorse for relentlessly bullying Lucy, even to the point of killing the one thing that she loved, they are repulsive. However, the main problem regarding the Bullies is whether or not they pass the heinous standard for this series. I would say yes, they do. One of the main ideas for this series is the fact that Lucy despises humanity. We learn that they are the reason as to why she hated humanity, and they had all managed to attack her on a more personal level than any of the other Elfen Lied antagonists will ever do. They were ultimately the ones to have started her Start to Darkness, and they are indirectly responsible for the massacres that follow.
