The world of anime is populated with countless anime characters of all types, from hotheaded tsundere types to stock shonen protagonists and much more. These characters can also be categorized using real-life metrics such as their MBTI personality types or the twelve signs of the Western zodiac.
Some anime characters fit their astrological sign well, but astrology can also be used the other way around. Fans can use a particular sign, such as the water sign Scorpio, as a starting point and see which anime characters fit the attributes of that sign best, regardless of those characters' actual births signs.
10 Sosuke Aizen Is A Cagey Schemer (Bleach)
None of the twelve signs are inherently good or evil, but certain signs suit heroes, while others are most fitting for villains. Scorpio is all about cunning, ambition, secrecy, and focus, and that makes it a great sign for villains and antiheroes. Bleach's Sosuke Aizen is a fine start.
Aizen lives up to this water sign's ambition and secrecy in true fashion. Nothing is known of his personal life, and his exterior personality was a total sham that fooled everyone. And most of all, Aizen is cunning, determined, and ambitious, aiming to use the Hogyoku to become the next ruler of the heavens.
9 Mary Saotome Loves To Sting Her Enemies (Kakegurui)
Some anime antiheroes, such as the gambling student Mary Saotome, act like fine Scorpios in all kinds of exciting ways. While Yumeko Jabami is whimsical and carefree, her rival, Mary Saotome, is ruthless and ambitious, aiming to overthrow Hyakkou's student council to prove her worth.
Mary will cooperate with her allies if she must, but only if there's something in it for her, and she never loses sight of her ultimate goal. Her Scorpio side also expresses itself in her secretive nature, since Mary doesn't like to reveal too much of herself. She can't stand anyone prying into her private life.
8 Nene Kinokuni Has Something To Prove (Food Wars!)
Many students at the Totsuki school are incredibly driven and ambitious, since they are all attending an elite culinary school where mediocre or unfocused students are soon expelled. This school encourages competition and ruthlessness, and Nene Kinokuni of the Council of Ten understands that.
Nene lives up to the Scorpio sign with her single-minded drive and ambition - in this case, to prove herself superior to her childhood friend, Isshiki Satoshi. She even sided with Erina's villainous uncle, Azami, to promote her interests, and she tried to "sting" Soma in their cooking battle before moving on to Isshiki.
7 Sabnock Sabro Aims For The Throne (Welcome To Demon School, Iruma-Kun!)
Iruma Suzuki is an isekai hero in the demonic Netherworld, and he soon learned that not all demons are scary monsters. The troublemaker Valac Clara is charming enough, and Azazel Ameri likes shojo manga. Then there's Sabnock Sabro, who's more like a traditional demon.
Sabnock is determined to become the next demon king at any cost, and he has no patience for anyone who can't keep up with him. He looks down on anyone who lacks ambition, and he criticized Asmodeus Alice for being complacent as Iruma's friend.
6 Killua Zoldyck Is A Secretive Assassin (Hunter X Hunter)
Killua Zoldyck is a young assassin with an attitude, and he definitely has some Scorpio traits, even if he was actually born as a Cancer. As per the Scorpio sign, Killua keeps his personal life secret, and he doesn't often open up to people. He keeps them at arm's length.
Killua, as a natural Scorpio, has a focused and intense attitude and either greatly enjoys something, or has no interest at all. People have to earn his trust and loyalty, and while that's not easy to do, his friend/rival Gon Freeccs managed it. That's quite the accomplishment.
5 Neito Monoma Is Intense But Reveals Nothing Of Himself (My Hero Academia)
Neito Monoma is a competitive student in class 1-B, and in some ways, he can also be described as a Leo, though he has some notable Scorpio traits as well. After all, Neito is intense and driven, and he has a single-minded focus on proving that class 1-B is better than class 1-A. That's how he "stings" class 1-A.
Neito's ambition makes him a Scorpio, as does his secretive nature. He's not shy or quiet by any means, but then again, he has revealed absolutely nothing of his personal life or background. He wants people to know him for his accomplishments and leadership, not his warm and fuzzy side... if he even has one.
4 Jose Porla Wanted To Take Fairy Tail Down (Fairy Tail)
The Wizard Saint Jose Porla was a relatively minor villain in Fairy Tail, but fans saw enough of him to get a solid impression of what he is really like, and his personality points toward Scorpio. Like a zodiac scorpion, Jose is fiercely determined to accomplish a single goal - to destroy the mighty Fairy Tail guild.
Jose always disliked Makarov's guild, and he launched an unprovoked assault on that guild to tear it down once and for all. He does things 100% or not all, like a true Scorpio, and he keeps his personal life under wraps. His private life is totally unknown.
3 Demon Lord Clayman Set His Sights On Rimuru (That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime)
Many scheming and single-minded anime villains fit the Scorpio sign, such as Aizen and Jose Porla, and Demon Lord Clayman just joined the club. He is an aloof and manipulative villain who would much rather have minions than friends, and he won't open up to anyone. Scorpios are usually like that.
Clayman, as a Scorpio, wanted to "sting" the isekai slime Rimuru Tempest and take him down, and nothing could convince Clayman to give up on this cherished goal of his. He even tried to turn the Demon Lord council against Rimuru before fighting the slime and losing to him.
2 Kisho Arima Coldly Puts Duty First (Tokyo Ghoul)
The elite ghoul investigator Kisho Arima could also be described as a Virgo in some ways, since he's a diligent and hardworking CCG employee, but he has many Scorpio traits as well. Like most Scorpios, Kisho Arima keeps people at arm's length, and makes sure his relationships are all professional and impersonal.
Kisho isn't cold or cruel, but he still would rather not have friends. He needs to focus on his job, and he ruthlessly dispatches ghouls with terrifying efficiency. He is quietly but intensely determined to rid the world of ghouls, making him a dutiful Scorpio with a brutal sting.
1 Princess Azula Is All About Power (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
Princess Azula of the Fire Nation is a ruthless and goal-oriented animated villain who has no time for fun and games. She embodies the Scorpio sign with her vicious attitude and fierce determination, and nothing can stay in her way for long.
Azula tends to keep people at arm's length, and isn't too quick to make friends or trust people, with Mai and Ty Lee being two exceptions. Later on, she became downright paranoid and brutal, being a Scorpio in all the worst ways as she got closer to claiming the Fire Nation throne for herself.
