Yhwach is the main villain of Bleach‘s Thousand-Year Blood War Arc and is arguably the strongest character in Bleach. He is the son of the Soul King and the wielder of The Almighty – a godly ability which allows him to see into the future and alter it. Takayuki Sugo provides Yhwach’s original Japanese voice, but Richard Epcar is his English voice actor. Epcar has been voice acting since 1985 and has voiced quite a few anime characters over the years.
Richard Epcar has voiced several anime villains, but he has voiced some heroic characters as well. Some of Epcar’s characters play very small roles in their respective series, though he has also voiced some well-known characters from established anime series. He has voiced humans, supernatural beings, and everything in between.
10 Bendot Is A Criminal Serving A Nearly 200-Year Sentence
A Former Mercenary Who Enjoys Fighting
Bendot is one of the prisoners featured in Trick Tower during the 287th Hunter Exam in Hunter x Hunter. Unlike Yhwach, Bendot is an ordinary human, but he was arrested and given a 199-year prison sentence for robbery and murder. He became a taskmaster in the Hunter Exam’s Third Phase in exchange for a reduced sentence. Unfortunately, Bendot never got to fight because Tonpa intentionally sabotaged his team.
Despite his young age and innocent appearance, Killua Zoldyk is a master assassin with great analytical skills, and he determined that Bendot is a former mercenary. He deduced that Bendot is a ruthless hand-to-hand fighter, and that he is proficient with military-grade weapons. Bendot enjoys fighting, but he is not reckless or foolish. When Killua easily kills Johness, a notorious mass murderer, he turns down Killua’s challenge because he knows he cannot win.
Hunter x Hunter

8 Daisuke Jigen Is A Master Thief And Skilled Marksman
One Of Lupin’s Most Loyal And Reliable Partners
centers around a seemingly incompetent thief named, Arsène Lupin III. Daisuke Jigen disapproves of Lupin’s lack of discipline on jobs and his fixation on women, yet he remains one of Lupin’s most loyal and dependable partners.
Daisuke has had several English voice actors over the years, but Richard Epcar has voiced him in several anime television series.
Daisuke is not evil like Yhwach and lacks supernatural abilities, but he is a skilled marksman and accomplished thief. He can perform a 0.3-second quick-draw and his incredible accuracy allows him to deflect enemy bullets by shooting them in mid-flight. Daisuke is a skilled hand-to-hand fighter, meaning he is not completely vulnerable if he gets disarmed. It should come as no surprise that Daisuke was heavily inspired by American gangsters.

A Muscular Fighter Who Battles Evil With His Nose Hairs

He can paralyze someone by sending his nosehairs straight into their nostril, and he can use his nosehairs to create sentient boogers that fight on his behalf.

Bobobo-bo is unpredictable and funny, which is to be expected since he has a large colony of tiny humans and humanoid boogers living in his nose.

1 Joseph Joestar Is One Of The Most Influential Jojos

Joseph Joestar was the main protagonist of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency, but he appears in Part 3 and Part 4 as well, making him one of the franchise’s most iconic Jojos.

Joseph learned to use Ripple – an ancient energy manifestation technique that mimics the energy of the sun. This technique counters vampires and other creatures. Joseph’s Stand is called Hermit Purple, and it allows him to manifest thorny vines that can be used as weapons and a hazardous defense. The older Joseph is more of a comedic side character, but he is still a capable fighter.
