Ikemen Villains Who to Choose
When asking in Ikemen Villains who to choose, picture a dark-lit ballroom where nine rogues wait, every smile hiding a different danger. Each route splits into a softer Blind Love that tames their wicked streak or a bold Mad Love that sets it free. The decision hangs on taste for peril, translation status, and which archetype tugs at the heart. Today we’ll unpack each villain, help match mood to route, and explain why replaying for those starkly contrasting finales keeps the thrill alive.

How the Route System Works
Ok, first thing you need to know is that every suitor’s story splits into two endings:
• Blind Love gives a softer “happily ever after” where the villain’s darkness eases up.
• Mad Love unleashes a wilder finale that lets every wicked urge run free.
Finish Blind Love first to unlock Mad Love on the second run; the sharp contrast between the two is a big part of the thrill. Also, gives you a reason to replay the same route.

The Nine Villains
William Rex: “Immoral & Self-Righteous Monarch”
Curse: Queen of Hearts (absolute command)
Under his regal smile lies a ruler who bends destiny itself, drawing everyone around him into searching reflections on power, justice, and desire. Choosing his route plunges straight into the heart of the game’s philosophy and suits anyone craving high-stakes moral drama.

Victor: “Her Majesty’s Eccentric Aide”
Curse: (still unrevealed as of July 2025)
A mischievous caretaker who knows more than he lets on. His full route and curse remain under wraps in the English edition, making him the ultimate wild card for theorists and late-game explorers.
Liam Evans: “Charming Cheshire Cat”
Curse: Cheshire Cat (can appear/disappear at will)
All charisma and showmanship on the surface, aching loneliness beneath. Expect theatrical set-pieces, sudden vanishing acts, and surprisingly heartfelt confessionals that balance levity with genuine pathos.
Ellis Twilight: “Happiness-Obsessed Oddball”
Curse: Briar Bushes (thorn manipulation)
Soft-spoken devotion that borders on unsettling. His story feels like a sweet dream that might turn nightmarish at any moment. Excellent once you’re comfortable with darker yandere themes (EN route still forthcoming).
Jude Jazza: “Cunning & Ruthless Mobster”
Curse: Thirteenth Fairy (binds others with curses)
A street-raised mob boss whose brutality shields fierce protectiveness. If you want gritty underworld politics, raw loyalty, and thorny moral choices, Jude plunges you into danger fastest.
Alfons Sylvatica: “Hedonistic Phantom”
Curse: Magic Mirror (distorts perceptions)
Elegant decadence personified. Alfons toys with reality, identity, and sensuality, challenging you to decide whether what you feel is reflection or truth. Lovers of sly wordplay and gothic glamour should start here.
Elbert Greetia: “Monomaniacal Wistful Earl”
Curse: Evil Queen’s Mirror (reflects sorrow)
A fragile aristocrat collecting beauty to fill his emptiness. Lingering grief, obsessive love, and antique manors create a richly melancholy atmosphere, ideal for angst aficionados.
Roger Barel: “Egotistical Former Doctor”
Curse: Hunter (deadly marksmanship)
A genius who treats emotions like anatomy to dissect. Scientific obsession, ethical gray zones, and razor-sharp dialogue dominate his route. Currently JP-only, but worth the language barrier for fans of mad-science romance.
Harrison Gray: “The Lying Fox”
Curse: The Lying Fox (master deceiver)
Flirtatious, talkative, and impossible to pin down. Every scene is a puzzle of truths and half-truths, perfect if you enjoy playful banter tinged with mystery but don’t want overwhelming angst right away.


Choosing Your First Route
Consider the darkness factor. Start with Harrison or Liam for a gentler introduction. When intense moral friction appeals, jump straight to William, Jude, or Roger.
Confirm translation availability. Most routes already have full English text. Ellis and Roger are still on the way, and Victor remains partly hidden even in Japanese.
Match archetype to mood.
- Leader charisma → William
- Trickster caretaking → Victor
- Banter & mystery → Harrison, Liam
- Brutal protector → Jude
- Tragic elegance → Alfons, Elbert
- Mad genius → Roger
Replay for contrasting endings. The Blind and Mad finales often feel like two entirely different stories, with William and Jude offering the most dramatic contrast.

Whichever rogue steals the spotlight first, remember that every replay reveals another shade of temptation and every ending reshapes the tale. Keep the guide “Ikemen Villains who to choose” close at hand, follow curiosity into blind devotion or glorious madness, and let each twist remind that even in fairy-tale darkness, the next dance of danger is only a decision away.
