You might not consider a volleyball player a villain in the grand scheme of thing, but Oikawa is just special like that. Thanks to his athletic gifts, Oikawa is a beast in the game, but he is also a definite threat whenever out of their uniform. So while Makima and Sukuna did rank high in this poll, the monsters could not overcome Oikawa’s reign.
