I would love see that! Tho I imagine some of the more dangerous ones are more far away. Tho like is villain organization also a part of this? Because I think it be interesting to see how some of them will reaction to how the other run. For example Shigaraki actually give the League of Villains more freedom and does treat them with respect. But someone like Muzan who is a control freak over Twelve Kizuki and willing to kill them off.
It would be interesting to see different teams of antagonists interact with each other. From arguing over their ideologies to trying to defend themselves (if they do at all) with their motives/backstory(s). Not the mentions the fights, like the Twelve Kizuki vs the League of Villains. (i.e. Toga vs Daiki or Dabi vs Doma)
Disclaimer:
However I, at first, tried to bring more than one villain from the same show since not all of these here are real antagonists, but then it would make watching these other shows pointless. And there will end up being more characters to keep track of. So I, and Entity, apologize in advance to all the normal people in this list.
(But whoever picks this up, it's up to them to do just 40 antagonists or pick just a few or more.)
(And remember, ALL of this is also subject to change since this just a bunch of ideas FUNINTHEEYEOFMADNESS and I came up together on the spot.)
🚨 THIS IS ALSO ANYONE'S MINOR SPOILER WARNING JUST IN CASE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! 🚨
Title:
The Antagonist’s Role (Some Conventional)
or something else (In the title I’m trying to convey that these people are the antagonist to the protagonist, but some only fill in that role because of convention).
Synopsis:
Spin-off fic, (non-canon), where the Entity is feeling vindictive against the antagonists of the 40's stories, so it makes another dimension kidnaps the antagonists of the 40. It doesn’t want to take those who are innocent, but there will be an imbalance to the universes if it tries to take more than one from the same dimension, (excluding the 40).
Just like MCS (WE), it will be a reaction fic to their respective stories. However, since Entity wants to rub salt into the wound, the antagonist will also be reacting to what is happening with the 40 cast, showing that they are growing, healing, and all around just doing better than they are.
Characters:
Now some characters are obvious, but others are just antagonists by convention:
Cowboy Bebop: Vicious
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Ozai
Legend of Korra: Amon OR Unalaq OR Zaheer OR Kuvira
Ouran Highschool Host Club: Benio "Benibara" Amakusa (Everything about this woman wants to make me pull out my own hair!)
Death Note: Light Yagami
Black Butler: The Undertaker
Hetalia: Belarus (Listen… if RUSSIA is scared of her, then you need to run for the hills!)
Fullmetal Alchemist: Father
Blue Exorcist: Satan
Hunter x Hunter: Hisoka Morrow OR Chrollo Lucilfer OR Meruem
Kuroko’s Basketball: Daiki Aomine OR Seijūrō Akashi OR Makoto Hanamiya
Attack on Titan: Zeke Yeager
Danganronpa: Junko Enoshima
Free!: Rin Matsuoka (I know I shouldn’t do this to him, but he was an antagonist during the beginning.) OR Hiyori Tono (I still hate him for what he said to Haru!)
Kill la Kill: Ragyō Kiryūin
Haikyuu: Oikawa Tooru (I am not dissing him, I love his character! But he was the antagonist to beat.)
Assassination Classroom: The Reaper
Food Wars!: Azami Nakiri
One Punch Man: Garou
Erased: Gaku Yashiro
My Hero Academia: All for One OR Shigaraki
Mob Psycho 100: Toichiro Suzuki
Yuri on Ice: Jean-Jacques Leroy (I don’t hate him, but like some of the others, he is pretty much antagonistic to the cast of YOI.)
Kiss Him, Not Me: Takeru Mitsuboshi
The Disastrous Life of Saiki K: Kusuke Saiki
Miss Kobayashi Dragon Maid: Jida/Jii
The Royal Tutor: Ernst Rosenberg
Kakegurui: Kirari Momobami
Cells at Work: Cancer Cell
The Promised Neverland: Isabella OR Peter Ratri
Love is War: Oko Shinomiya
Fruits Basket: Akito Sohma
Demon Slayer: Muzan
Dr. Stone: The Whyman
Given: Ayano Kasai (I know she is not an antagonist, but she was a little antagonistic.)
Beastars: Melon
Welcome to Demon School Iruma Kun: Ami Kirio OR Baal
Toilet Bound Hanako-kun: Yugi Tsukasa
Jujutsu Kaisen: Sukuna OR Geto
SK8 the Infinity: Ainosuke Shindo/ADAM
Setting:
Instead of a mansion, the Entity makes a prison for them to stay in. There are three levels of the prison:
Level 1: Misplaced
These are characters where they go up against one of the 40/interact with them, but it doesn’t mean they are evil or mean, they just happened to be the antagonists of one of the 40’s stories. They are given actual rooms, their own bathrooms, good meals plus desserts, good clothes, and misc. items to entertain themselves. (Plus their own kitchen, gym, craft room, etc.)
(This will house:
Oikawa Tooru
Jean-Jacques Leroy
Ayano Kasai)
Level 2: Disciplined
It’s almost the same as Level 1 except they are the bad guys of their stories but they actually have shot at redemption. They will have their own room, but only with the bare necessities. They are still served food, but any desserts, misc. items, or any kind of reward will only be given if they actually work to redeem themselves.
(This will house:
Benio "Benibara" Amakusa
Belarus
Daiki Aomine OR Seijūrō Akashi OR Makoto Hanamiya
Rin Matsuoka OR Hiyori Tono
Garou
Takeru Mitsuboshi
Kusuke Saiki
Ernst Rosenberg
Kirari Momobami
Cancer Cell
Isabella (If you choose her)
Oko Shinomiya
The Whyman)
Level 3: DETAIN
There are the worst of the worse, monsters, villains, you name it. They will basically be treated like prisoners for their stay. All of them wear collars that not only block their powers but will shock them if they attempt to do anything remotely evil, violent, etc.
(This will house:
Vicious
Ozai
Amon OR Unalaq OR Zaheer OR Kuvira
Light Yagami
The Undertaker
Father
Satan
Hisoka Morrow OR Chrollo Lucilfer OR Meruem
Zeke Yeager
Junko Enoshima
Ragyō Kiryūin
The Reaper
Azami Nakiri
Gaku Yashiro
All for One OR Shigaraki
Toichiro Suzuki
Jida/Jii
Peter Ratri (If you choose him)
Akito Sohma
Muzan
Melon
Ami Kirio OR Baal
Yugi Tsukasa
Sukuna OR Geto
Ainosuke Shindo/ADAM)
All levels are separated by another floor, with Level 3 in the basement to Level 1 at the top. There is around the clock monitoring thanks to Indigo and they are allowed outside, but Level 3 are the only ones who are scheduled with times and such.
The ground level is where they’ll be viewing what is going on with the 40. And the Entity is much more involved. FUNINTHEEYEOFMADNESS came up with the idea that to the people in Level 1 it would talk to the occupants like an empathic therapist. Level 2 is a no nonsense tough love overseer with the same empathy. And Level 3 is where the Entity will be the jail guard/jester/tormenter, pointing out their flaws, the pyrrhic victories and just rubbing it in. And, for the more arrogant of the prisoners, it will showcase their reality warping abilities to prove a point.
To quote FUNINTHEEYEOFMADNESS, "I would also imagine that for level's 2 and three the entity would make the prisoners do prison chores, but only to prove a point and make them build character. As any real chore can be solved by their reality warping effects."
The prison island would even be surrounded by an Eldritch Abomination to replace the ocean and act as a deterrent to kept them from trying to escape, (not that they could).
Something like this:
The Eldritch surrounding the island is obviously alive, but it reacts differently to the people coming outside. For Level 1, it will act similar to a puppy and all round just be playful and helpful to them. With Level 2 it will act indifferent, not choosing to intervene but will do so if necessary. But if someone from Level 3 steps outside without permission, it will go into berserk mode.
Ending:
Since this non-canon, it's kind of opened ended, but this what FUNINTHEEYEOFMADNESS and I came up with:
They will all have their memories erased OR only Level 3 will have their memories erased, (to which they will get back when they 💀) while Level 1 and those who redeemed themselves from Level 2 will keep their memories.
As to their connection to the 40, there are two scenarios:
1. Those who kept their memories while contact them when they get the chance and apologizes/helps the MCS (WE) cast with their adventures.
2. Somehow, someway, the 40 finds out what the Cloaked Figure is doing, those who have the unredeemable villains would see this a fitting punishment while those who have antagonists who are still redeemable or who are just antagonists by convention would ask if the Entity is insane. (And might even ask Entity to allow those of Level 1 to come back with them to the mansion and Level 2 once they’ve redeemed themselves.)
Reaction/Interaction Excerpts:
And of course, how can a can this be a reaction fic with some reactions?
To their stories/the 40:
To quote FUNINTHEEYEOFMADNESS again, "I would imagine they would either be downtrodden, guilty or seething in jealously. Another good point, since the 40 story is about hurt and comfort, the characters learning from each other and making themselves feel better, the villainous 40 would be judged by their peers and criticized. This can range from insults, being appalled by each other's actions or just rubbing it in each other in a sense of hypocritical moral superiority."
To each other:
Level 3 would have those arguing who had the better plan, motive, who had the harder protagonist to deal with etc. Basically an ego measuring contest. And the other levels would want to stay far away from them.
Level 2 would have them defending their case on why they did such actions, even though most of them won’t buy it, and some would actually engage in nice conversations. Level 3 would just call them pathetic while Level 1 would attempt to be friendly, as long as Level 2 cooperates.
Level 1 are just confused about why they are there and want to go home. Reactions to each other may vary, but they would be nice and comfort each other while allowing themselves to relax slightly since they are living much more luxuriously then they had been before. Level 3 and the stubborn half of Level 2 would be glaring at them while the redeemable half of Level 2 would be glad that they are in good living conditions.
How they would interact:
Level 3:
Ozai, Satan, Ragyō Kiryūin, Azami Nakiri, Toichiro Suzuki, and Akito Sohma would all be complaining to each other of how their bloodline/family members are such failures and how they would want to exact their revenge for going against them. They still don't get along, but they bond over that.
Light Yagami would keep trying to argue that he is not a villain, that he is a god, and all that nonsense, and it's usually Sukuna OR Geto, who yells at him to shut up and threatens to strangle him, shock collars be damn.
Yugi Tsukasa and Junko, somehow, bond over how much joy it bring them to see others in despair.
ADAM and Hisoka (if you chose him) would share in how they are looking for the most skilled/strongest, but when ADAM learn that Hisoka is a... ADAM would request a restraining order against him.
Amon OR Unalaq OR Zaheer OR Kuvira and Zeke Yeager would indulge in their own ideas of equality and freedom along with their radical methods of how to achieve such goals, (Light wouldn't be in this since he sees them as criminals and not himself, talk about hypocrite.)
With every interaction and banter Undertaker would just be shaking and crying with laughter as he finds all of this to be hilarious.
Level 2:
Benibara, Seijūrō Akashi (if you chose him), Kusuke Saiki, Kirari Momobami, and Oko Shinomiya would all be fighting for the leadership role in the group, and some of them are willing to draw blood to get it. (But it's Isabella, again if you chose her, who assumes the leadership role.)
Kusuke would actually try to study Cancer Cell while Garou would also be demanding to fight him to determine who is the strongest. This resulted in the two being threaten by Cancer Cell on a weekly, to daily, basis to stop.
The Whyman would just watch the humans being stupid.
Level 1:
All three of them get along, even though both Oikawa and JJ has egos the size of a house, (though these two would share in their woes of how they are the best and yet always fall short to someone else), and the three would comfort each other if need be. And JJ, who is the oldest in the group, would unconsciously take up the parental role.
Conclusion:
It the same premise as MCS (WE) except that this centered around the antagonists of the stories and most of them are either getting treated like the scumbags they are or are getting redeemed.
I'm not sure if FUNINTHEEYEOFMADNESS or if anyone else is going to actually write this, but if anyone does, or if they just what to keep bouncing around ideas, I'll happily lend a hand and or ear!

Hisoka and Suzuki: Togashi’s Clowns
This might be a little disorganized but I don’t care. So I wanna talk about the parallels between “The Beautiful” Suzuki (from Togashi’s earlier work YuYu Hakusho) and Hisoka (from HxH). Suzuki kinda serves as one of the seedling inspirations for what later became Hisoka, and I think Suzuki’s character arc is even more telling about Hisoka’s as the manga progresses.
There will be some light spoilers to YYH and for major HxH spoilers I will give a big warning.
Let’s get the obvious out of the way: these characters often have similar circus/clown-inspired looks, use playing cards as weapons, and are homicidal villains with occasional allyships to the main characters.
For those who don’t know, Suzuki is this fighter that uses disguises, gratuitous violence, and aesthetics to gain attention. He is obsessed with other’s validation of his appearance. Most notably, he insists on being called “The Beautiful Suzuki,” hates old people for their appearances, and has suicidal planning about the idea of no longer maintaining this “beauty.” Overall, obviously a very insecure guy with a major thematic focus on his body and looks.
Now Hisoka’s motivations for violence aren’t fully the same as Suzuki's, but I think there is a similar obsession with this insanely well crafted stylized striking aesthetic, that is an important reflection of his character. Look to Hisoka's focus on shock-seeking and showmanship-ing fight with Kastro or Kurapika’s appreciation for Hisoka’s grace in his fighting style. Furthermore, there is a focus on his body, as well. Throughout the series, he uses texture surprise to mend his body (!!! Heavens Arena arc spoiler !!!) and hide his affiliation with the Spiders. We can compare this to how Suzuki uses disguises. Not to mention all the naked scenes that show off Hisoka’s body. In contrast to Suzuki, Hisoka oozes confidence, but I will get into later how I personally think that may be more complicated.
The two go to these grotesque extremes to seek attention, and these aesthetics ultimately come crashing down (although for Hisoka they are rebuilt).
Also homophobia but anyways.
Okay but now Let’s Really Get Into It.
!!!!!!!!! Big time spoilers !!!!!!!!!! For the Battle at Heaven’s Arena chapters in Vol 34 ch 357. !!!! Also content warning for images of gore !!!!
In Suzuki’s fight with Genkai, Suzuki’s theatrical performance, abilities, and appearances are stunning and seemingly powerful, but deceiving. In reality, his attacks don’t even scratch Genkai. She summarizes, “he’s a souped-up car without an engine.” She completely crushes him with her attacks and the image we are left with is his butchered face—a massive divergence of the false confidence and eye catching look we see in the beginning. It’s hard to look at. To put it in short, his need for attention has brought him to a state where he is no longer what he would consider beautiful.
(sorry poor quality screenshot)
But Suzuki pretty much changes his ways immediately and gets a redemption arc; which I do not think will happen with Hisoka. In fact, Hisoka doesn’t change his ways even after dying and reviving himself.
To recap, Hisoka’s, largely sexually motivated, obsession with fighting leads to his match with Chrollo. He dies but is revived with his post-mortem nen. Similar to Genkai’s defeat of Suzuki, he was utterly pummeled by his opponent. After the fight, we are, like Suzuki, left with this mangled corpse—a huge contrast to his formerly handsome, manicured look. This is what his desire for attention, power, and domination has driven him to become. Side note that might be a little obvious, but I also thought the fact he was suffocated by the crowd was really reflective of his attention seeking, lust, and the focus on his own body in a really interesting way. In HxH, especially early on, the audience often feels like Hisoka is somehow invincible. Although I wouldn’t say he’s “a souped-up car without an engine” like Suzuki, but his fight with Chrollo smashes this image to reveal his true mortality and how much of this narrative of invincibility was simply smoke and mirrors.
(Now an even worse screenshot)
Here’s the big divergence plot-wise between the two:
Then Hisoka is revived with his post-mortem nen, and with his new amplified version of texture surprise, he creates a prosthetic hand and restores his face. I like to say he re-yassifies himself. Once again, drawing attention to the body and aesthetic, physically creating a mask to cover an “unattractive” inside and cure this shameful state—much like Suzuki.
This is a silly detail, but they also both lose their noses, Hisoka’s physical nose and Suzuki’s red ball nose.
Although I wish I could provide a strong conclusion, Hisoka’s story is not over yet, so let’s get into some speculation. It’s my theory that, because so much of his power is about trickery and his parallels with Suzuki, there is some part of Hisoka that is deeply insecure. Though this idea does not have a ton of evidence in HxH. In addition, I believe his facade of invincibility will continue to shatter with his new goal to kill the rest of the Spiders (!!!!!!! Major Vol 36 ch 377 succession war arc spoilers !!!!!!!!) and Illumi at the same time. I think Hisoka is strong, but I do not think he can handle this challenge on his own. But maybe with his enhanced post-mortem nen he can prevail. In end, I am excited to see where the story will take Hisoka and see how it compares to his predecessor thematically.
