In the anime universe, each character, besides their strongest feats and intelligence, is also known for their personality aspects. Over time, several antagonists have gained a huge fanbase because of their distinctive perspectives on justice and inequity.
However, there are certain evil characters who want to spread chaos and destruction just because they enjoy it. Some of these insane personalities have no compassion or empathy for others by birth, while others turn to the way they are due to their tragic past.

However, Raiga became a true lunatic because he loved to torment and kill people for no reason.
