Spoiler: Comments

Hazama is a captain of the Novus Orbis Librariums Itelligence Department and is one of the main antagonists in the series. An artificially created human designed to be originally the host vessel for Yuki Terumi, a former member of the Six Heroes, he was created only to be thrown away. However, due to side effects of the mind eater curse their merge was incomplete which forced them to remain separate entities sharing the same body.

Spoiler: Comments

I choose Griffith/Femto as a villain because he's a complex character. Years after getting into Berserk I still find myself trying to understand the psychology of his character, and what drove him to do one of the most villainous acts I've ever witnessed in a work of fiction. Griffith as a human before he was reborn as Femto has definitely some redeeming qualities, he is driven and he's definitely the machiavelic type, although that isn't usually a good thing. But you could sympathize with him, especially during the moments where the nobility are looking down on him, or later on when he's tortured by the king. However after being reborn into Femto and what he did to his former comrades,definitely makes him a villain in my book. I like the duality of his character, which in the manga is represented by the Falcon of light(Griffith) and the Falcon of darkness (Femto)
