Why create, when it will only be destroyed? Why cling to life, knowing that you have to die?
~ Kefka Palazzo.
Gods don't exist, and Buddhas don't either. Yet these people lived for decades without realizing it. Once they die, it's all just gonna return to nothing. They won't feel anything. And then they rot into the ground. As long as you live on this Earth, that's your eternal fate. They just can't accept that simple fact. It must be so hard being stupid. I want to make these sorrowful people happy. I want to help them. That's the reason I was born, after all.
~ Doma.
Every decision we make is meaningless. Because somewhere, on a parallel Earth, we have already made the opposite choice. We're nothing. Less than nothing.
~ Owlman.

Nihilists are characters who believe that the existence of life has no purpose, value, or meaning, their own included. Nihilists do not believe in moralities and all rules and/or codes they follow are superficial or for practical reasons. They usually do not have specific long–term goals, will sink to all levels of depravity to further their arbitrary objectives, and are often sociopaths and/or suicidal. They can overlap with Social Darwinists and Harbingers for Rebirth as well through shared beliefs in bringing about the "end times" and leaving others or themselves to pick up pieces left behind by the messes they have created.

Most nihilists wish to destroy everything in existence or at least whatever is possible for them to destroy. What makes them some of the most dangerous and unpredictable villains is that they have nothing to lose, not even their very lives. At the highest point, they are cataclysmic due to a desire of literally erasing everything as they see fit. Like many powerful and far-reaching villains, they might just be able to make their twisted dreams into reality. However, it is important to note that not ALL nihilists will act like this, but mostly the more sinister or destructive ones will.

Some redeemed nihilists decide to appreciate life more and stop being nihilistic after their redemption (although they might not too).

Examples include Vincent, Jobu Tupaki, Kefka Palazzo, Rick Sanchez, Mephiles the Dark, Chaos, Isaac Ray Peram Westcott, Count Bleck, The Lich, Davy Jones, John Doe, Agent Smith, Magus, The End, Thanos, Obito Uchiha, Johan Liebert, Masayuki Kaneki, AM, Micah Bell, Darth Nihilus, Vaas Montenegro, The Joker, Xehanort, Ulquiorra Cifer, Psycho Mantis and Michael Myers.

They are the polar opposite of Anti-Nihilists.
