Hello, everyone. Now, Halloween is only a few days away…. Like, ten weeks away… Well, I want to get an early start, so, for all of you, I am going to make ten different top tens for the next following Saturdays. And what better way than to start with the top ten demons. Now, demons are the little red creatures that you find lurking the in the depths of hell, or in some part of the media. Now, first some rules. Only one demon per franchise, and only from what I have seen, or played. Also, I am including ANYTHING! Be it movies, games, TV shows, whatever. It’s so that way, I can make these lists easier. Now, let us start the list. (Also, don’t expect these lists to be as huge as my normal lists. Just putting it out there)
#10: Lou from Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
A devil that plays a rock version of The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Wow, we’re starting this list off strong, aren’t we. Lou started out as your band’s manager, helping your band get more and more famous. However, after a disagreement with him, he reveals that he is a demon, and that the contract you signed with states that you sold your soul to him, and he drags you to hell to where you now have to play The Devil Went Down to Georgia in a rock-off. This is one of the coolest bosses I have seen in a game. The notes come at you lightning fast, and you need to hit every key. And if you lose, the devil will play an incredibly long finishing song just to mess with you. I mean, come on. You already took my soul, do you need to gloat about it
#9: Beelzebub IV from Beelzebub
Now, from the looks of things, this adorable infant doesn’t seem like much. But trust me, this little demons personality shows just how much of a demon he is. He starts out as a crybaby, but soon got braver as the series went on. He is known to enjoy violence, exposed flesh, heavy metal music, and demonic looking toys. He also has a hatred for clothing for some messed up reason. Not to mention, he is always getting Oga, his guardian in the human world, into trouble with stronger men, and this little baby always has to get him out of it. But, this baby can fight, and in some odd ways. One of his oddest methods of attack is his urine, which is said to appear very rarely, but when it does, he urinates so much, that it could flood an entire village. Yeah, so we have a demon baby who literally pisses a river. Way to go, Japan.
#8: Satan from Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny
A devil that plays the guitar- Wait, this sounds familiar. Okay, so, why is this devil better than the devil from Guitar Hero III. One (Or rather two) reasons… Jack Black and Kyle Gass are the guys he is up against… That is awesome. The Devil was mentioned in a story about the creation of the Pick of Destiny, a legendary guitar pick forged from the Devil’s chipped tooth used to play some of the greatest songs in the history of rock. Once Tenacious D find and break it, the Devil comes, and nearly kills them, but he is then forced into a rock off with them. And the Devil, let me tell you, plays a masterpiece of rock music, as Tenacious D says. So, what does Tenacious D do to beat him… By singing what sounds like gibberish and jumping around. It’s pretty stupid. All I can say is that this is a pretty funny scene, and that the Devil makes it all the more funny.
#7: Inuyasha from Inuyasha
Oh man, let me tell you, this one fills me with a lot of nostalgia when I woke up and watched this show at 6 in the morning when I was a kid. Inuyasha is a demon who would refuse to back down from a fight, though he was known for doing whatever he could to defend those he cared about, even if it put him in even more danger than what he was in. However, when he is not fighting, he is just some hotheaded jerk who would hit anyone just for annoying him, even kids at one point. However, as a demon, he kept this a secret, because he was sure that letting out the fact that he was a demon could get him killed, which it nearly did on the night of the full moon (Which would take much more time to explain than what I have to make this article). Inuyasha is a powerful fighter, and a good friend, making him one of the more heroic demons on this list.
#6: Dante from Devil May Cry
I couldn’t help it. I know he is only half-demon, but demon is still a demon, so he is going on the list. However, due to the fact that he already appeared in my Top 15 Favorite Video Game Character’s list, he can’t make the top five. However, he is still a major badass. After being a loveable cocky douchebag in the first two games, he came out more mature, but still a loveable cocky douchebag. All this guy does is kill demons and loves to make fun of it, easily making him one of the funniest video game characters, while at the same time, being one of the most awesome. And, just to ease confusion, this whole time, I was talking about Dante from Devil May Cry’s 1, 2, 3, 4. Not that god awful emo Dante from DMC. Anyway, Dante is an awesome character, who fights demons, and cracks jokes about it, and he is still one of my favorite video game characters.
#5: Scanty and Kneesocks from Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt
FINALLY, I get to talk about these two. Scanty and Kneesocks (Or, the Demon Sisters) Only care about rules and order. However, the way they try to achieve these goals are pretty tyrannical, controlling everyone around them, and creating demons in the process. The funny thing though is, Panty and Stocking weren’t interested in the demons. They just wanted to get at the Demon Sisters because they wanted order, and the Anarchy Sisters were all “Oh, to hell with that. Lets mess them up”. I also really like the designs of the Demon Sisters… Then again, I like all of the designs in this anime, so that isn’t saying much… Um…… I think they both have some kind of cream and foot fetish? Is that enough information to move on… I hope so, cause I am.
#4: Hellboy from Hellboy
Oh hell yeah. Never in my life have I ever heard such an intimidating voice be used on a good guy before. Probably because I always imagined Ron Perlman to voice someone evil… Oh right, he did (Slade from Teen Titans). Anyway, back on topic. Hellboy was found as an infant after Nazi soldiers tried to bring creatures from space to their world. Years later, Hellboy grew up to be large jerk with more hormones than a disruptive teen, but kicks more ass than Bruce Lee. Hellboy works with the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, beating the crap out of any monster that threatens human life, even though humans don’t look to kindly to him, since… Well, he’s a demon. Hellboy is a major badass, and, I am so glad that both Hellboy movies have positive reviews.
#3: Sebastian from Black Butler
You know, I was planning on putting this guy as number one on a list for Top Ten anime butlers, but one, I realized there wasn’t that many butlers in anime, and two, this guy really isn’t a nice butler. Sebastian is indeed loyal to his master, Ciel, carrying out every task that Ciel gives Sebastian, and he does it without hesitation. However, behind this, he is really a heartless sadist, who enjoys fighting at his master’s orders, and even once delayed saving Ciel, as he enjoyed the sight of it. He also sees no good in anyone, even claiming that his master is a spoiled brat who treats his butlers with little respect. Not to mention, he is actually fascinated in humans, since he is a demon, who lacks caring emotions. I may not have seen Black Butler, but DAMN IT, I WANT TO NOW!
#2: Lucifer from Dante’s Inferno
This is the closest representation to the actual devil we have on this list. Not to mention, the design of him is freaking awesome…. Could have done without the giant devil penis however. Anyway, Lucifer’s goal was to lure Dante (No, not the Devil May Cry Dante, obviously) to Hell, so Dante could break the chains holding Lucifer’s prison. After breaking the prison, and after destroying yet ANOTHER prison, which holds the real Lucifer, the boss fight begins, and it is actually pretty awesome. After that, you then throw him right back into his jail, but, as it turns out, he is not truly dead, so it is unknown if he is really defeated. Still, it is awesome how well they portrayed Lucifer as the actual Bible description, and I love everything about this guy… Except the penis… obviously.
#1: Pazuzu from The Exorcist
Okay, here we are. And JESUS, I couldn’t have picked a scarier demon. First off, this demon is possessing the body of a young girl, something that is full of innocence and life, and the devil just goes right ahead and possesses it. But what he does in her body is just screwed up. He twists her head, makes her shoot projectile vomit, swear constantly, attack others, twist her body in some of the most terrifying ways possible, and basically try to fight off the priests who are trying to get Pazuzu out of her. But, the reason that I put Pazuzu at the number one spot is because this was the only demon on this list that actually terrified me. The fact that a deadly demon from hell can possess an innocent girl is just horrifying. Not to mention (SPOILERS) The only way he is defeated is when he possess the body of one of the priests, a very holy man, I should remind you, and the priest kills himself just to get rid of the demon. That is terrifying. And that is what makes Pazuzu the number one demon on this list… Okay, nitpick, but his name is stupid…. Just had to say it.
Well, there you have it. Did you enjoy the list? Tell me what you thought of it below. With that said, I will see you all next time

Now, what do you get when you have a protagonist who has odd morals, or a dark history, yet tries to justify his actions? Well, a real badass… oh, and an anti-hero. Now, in order to be an anti-hero, it needs to be a protagonist that has to do bad, but is doing it for the sake of good. Also, these are from games that I have played. So, no Kratos from God of War. With that, lets start the list
