I don’t understand why people think Anton Chigurh qualifies. You do realize that the car crash scene had a purpose, right? He was already visibly shaken up by Carla Jean’s refusal to call his coin toss and assertion that he bears responsibility for his actions, but then his fatalist code was further disproven by the random chance of the occurrence of the crash—and he, this former inhuman force of nature, walked away unexpectedly incapacitated, proven no less vulnerable than any man, somewhat humiliated by needing help from children, and probably incapable of killing ever again. He lost control over his life, the whole “agent of fate” thing got shot down, and he might not have lived for long thereafter since it’s not like he could fix a protruding bone himself or go to the hospital for it as a wanted criminal—and even if he could somehow persist in his job as a hitman, would there be any point to it anymore? His life as he knew it was over. That is how you defeat a villain. Anton technically received a (more subtle) fate worse than death.
Judge Holden on the other hand, yes, he qualifies 100% since he will exist for as long as human depravity does. He’s probably the darkest example I could think of. Johan Liebert to a lesser extent since he did fail in his goal and Tenma had indeed proven the equality of all life by saving that of even Johan again, but it’s not like Johan would give a rat’s ass for the latter point. He’s an ambiguous case I would say.
