Villains of /a/ is an upcoming side tournament that will be held on the /tnt/ board on plus4chan. It will be the direct follow-up to Heroes of /a/ the month prior. As implied by the board name in its title, this tournament will pit a selection of villainous or otherwise morally questionable characters featured primarily in various anime and manga against each other. It was conceived largely in response to the sheer difficulty in holding a main tournament on the /a/ board of 4chan, despite constant interest in the idea among tournament participants. The tournament simultaneous acts as the spiritual successor to both Villains of /co/ and Villains of /v/ from 2023. The tournament is currently planned to be hosted solo by recurring host Coayynon !hJA5r5.WJw.
Rules[edit]
The following rules are copied from Heroes of /a/, but may be updated at the host's discretion upon the tournament's start.
