Added DiffLines:

* ''Manhua/TheExplodingGirl'': Yellow wishes to protect small animals from cruel abusers and people wanting to profit off that abuse, going so far as to spend almost all her free time at a rescue shelter for animals, and using her small apartment as a sanctuary for strays. She also ''gleefully'' murders those same people in cold blood, and tries to kill [[spoiler:Ping after he refuses to join her, and now risks revealing her secret identity.]] Similarly, Yellow relishes in brutalizing her victims long after the Violencia have been driven out, and only the threat of getting caught by police can stop her.


Added DiffLines:

[[folder:Manhwa]]
* ''Manhwa/TheBreaker'':
** Hyuk So Chun and Kangsung, among others. One of the things that sets this series apart is how most enemies are not presented as evil, even if they may seem to be at first. Instead, they're just people, [[PunchClockVillain who sometimes have to do unpleasant things in the course of their work]], and if they act like jerks it's more bravado than actual hatefulness.
** Deconstructed in New Waves with a wider variety of villains, which include {{Card Carrying Villain}}s and a couple {{Obviously Evil}} characters.
* ''Manhwa/CavalierOfTheAbyss'': Caladbolg, for all he is set up as the big bad, has had [[PetTheDog scenes where he is shown as less villainous than Nex]]. [[spoiler: The fact he has asked at one point for a stop to their conflicts and compromise seriously helps his case, even when he has ultimately selfish ends. ]]
* ''Manhwa/PhDPhantasyDegree'':
** Gelpa the ninja. Despite being a member of the Madosa Guild, he had helped saved Notra's and Noel's lives [[spoiler:on Chang-Chun's request]].
** [[spoiler:Chang-Chun the leader of the Madosa Guild]] is a kind-hearted old man who tries to save Chun-Lang and the others from Madosa's attack when he isn't wearing his power rings.
* ''Manhwa/{{Priest}}'': Kinda strange that [[AllLovingHero Nera]] would be on Temozarela's side, eh? It's shown in the story that Temozarela took her in as one of his disciples due to his desire to see where her faith in God and humanity would lead.

Compare and contrast this trope with its antithesis, the AntiHero. A character who is a WildCard or a HeelFaceRevolvingDoor can be capable of being both an Anti-Hero and an Anti-Villain depending on whether or not they are acting for or against the protagonist at the time.
