Who's the most badass villain in anime?

Alright folks, time to face facts; heroes suck. You all know you prefer Darth Vader over Luke Skywalker, and some of the best characters in all of anime are the villains... so who do you think is the best? My vote goes to Shishio Makoto from Rurouni Kenshin. For those of you who aren't familiar with RK, Shishio is an aspiring dictator plotting to take over Japan. Nothing special, really, until you consider his other qualities. First off, Shishio is blatantly power hungry and not the least bit afraid to shed the blood of innocents; his creed revolves around the laws of natural selection; the strong live, and the weak die. He isn't one of these sissy villains who were somehow turned to evil, like Sasuke or Anakin Skywalker; Shishio is bad to the bone, and has been throughout the entire time we know him during all of Rurouni Kenshin. Now the series is set in a facsimile of Meiji-era Japan, and the word ki is used perhaps once in the entire series, so there's no mystical stuff going on in Rurounin Kenshin like there is in Naruto, Ranma 1/2 or Dragonball Z. In spite of this, Shishio has created a trio of fire-based attacks based around igniting the human fat that has soaked into his blade, allowing for some of the most awesome attacks in the entire series, reason 2 as to why he's so awesome. Reason 3: He was actually a good deal stronger than Kenshin was, in spite of his defeat. Shishio defeats Kenshin's ultimate attack, surviving the best he has to give out and then countering it... right before his own fat catches on fire and he self-combusts. In the end, the best that the good guys had to offer failed to destroy him; Shishio wasn't beaten until his body gave out beneath his own power. Reason 4: Shishio has, perhaps, the best closing scene in all of villain history. In the epilogue of the Kyoto arc, one of his servants commits suicide and ends up with Shishio in hell. Shishio promptly tells him that he intends to conquer hell, and you just know that he's capable of it. If there is any villain in history who even approaches that level of awesomeness, I've yet to hear of him. Or her. So what do you think? I've said my piece; who gets your vote?

hard to say...his real intention is not sparking the least glimmer of badass-ness...

I'd have to say "Gantz" (the man inside the ball). I love that twisted bastard.
Or "number 1" from Afro Samurai.
