CATDOLL: You must have been a fake protagonist! The villain anime characters are more popular than you

In anime works, there is always a group of people who are against the protagonist and try every means to cause all kinds of troubles with the protagonist. Although they are the main characters in the same play as the protagonist, the villains are far more impressive than the protagonists. However, there are some special cases, that is, the villains or evil organizations are more attractive. In this regard, a Japanese media recently conducted a survey on college students. Which villains or evil organizations in anime works can make you feel good?
