Hanagaki Takedo VS Hanagaki Takedo Kisaki Tetsuta (Tokyo Avengers)

Edmond Dantes VS. Traitor (Gankutsuou)
This animated film adaptation of classic literature succeeds in adapting one of the most famous revenge stories of all time: The Revenge of Alexandre Dumas Count of Monte Cristo. Updating the setting to a lunar colony thousands of years later, and the fact that the nominal earl derives his vast fortune and influence from dealing with demons instead of hidden treasure doesn’t detract from the impact of his story in any way.

When he escaped, he devoted his life to completely destroying the three traitors at any cost. The film is told from the perspective of Albert de Marcerf, the son of one of Edmund’s targets, which makes the execution of his plans seem particularly cruel.

Uchiha Sasuke vs Uchiha Sasuke Everyone (Naruto)
When most anime fans think of “Revenge Story”, they think of Sasuke, who used many powers to avenge the Uchiha clan that was murdered by Sasuke’s brother Itachi when he was a child. Sasuke willingly defected from Konoha and served his enemies in order to gain the power to kill Itachi, but when he finally did, he was faced with a horrifying realization.
Itachi did not slaughter their family on a whim as he claimed: he was ordered by the village elders to avoid a possible civil war due to a coup plotted by their family, but he was unable to kill Sasuke himself. Sasuke had lived for revenge too long to be able to process his pain any other way, so he resolved to destroy Konoha and the people of Kimura as punishment for what they had suffered because of him and his brother.
Kurapika Kurta vs Phantom Troupe (Hunter×Hunter)

Kurapika is the sole survivor, and he has dedicated his life to avenging his people and getting their stolen eyes back.
What makes Kurapika’s revenge story one of the most tragic and compelling is that his character is the polar opposite of the story. At heart, Kurapika is still the same kind, gentle boy as before the massacre. Murder disgusts him more than excites him. Yet he still pushed his limits to do so, fearing that one day his anger would subside and take away the fuel he needed to do for his people what he believed he was supposed to do.
