 * Asshole Victim: The "He deserved it" feeling is so unexplainable. You don't know if you pity the guy or laugh at it.


 * Obviously Evil: It is just weird how you can identify a character as a villain just by looking at him.


 * Knight Templar: These just tend to be the most dangerous ones, such is their delusion that their crusades are just and noble, when they're actually the opposite.


 * Heel-Face Revolving Door: They just can't decide what side they're on, and in the end they become the wild cards that may just decide the outcome of the story.


 * Not-so-harmless Villain: Surprise, surprise, that incompetent badguy who everyone took as a joke suddenly turns the tables and becomes more competent than the serious ones.


 * Dangerously Genre Savvy: It is so good when a villain don't act like an idiot and do stupid things just so the plot can move on.
