Henchman

If I were in an anime and I were determined to take over Japan -- admittedly a long shot -- this is the guy I'd want at my right hand. Not only is Seta Sojiro the ultimate Harmless Looking Villain, he's also (unlike nearly all henchmen) smart and competent.

You can always count on Soji to carry out his orders flawlessly, with a cheerful little smile, even if it means throwing his nominal allies to the wolves. Even better, he manages to cause plenty of trouble without ever drawing his sword.... Watching him manipulate Aoshi was a joy.

Combine a teenager's ruthlessness with competence, intelligence, and swordsmanship that earns him the nickname "Sword of Heaven," and you've got the total package!
