"The thought of needing someone else to fulfill me never crossed my mind. If I want to eat, I eat. If I see an eyesore I kill it. And if it entertains me, I throw it a bone. I live according to my own statute if that can't be measured or understood, that's not my problem."

― Ryomen Sukuna (Jujutsu Kaisen)

Diavolo (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part V: Golden Wind/Vento Aureo)

Shifu (Kung Fu Panda) in all his love and pride for his son Tai Lung, he blindly led him to become bitter and astray from the right path due to always making him a great fighter rather than seeing greater values.

As the oldest known sapient species in the universe and the self-proclaimed "apex race", the "Leviathans" (Mass Effect) are incomparably arrogant, utterly refusing to acknowledge their nigh extinction was their own fault and fighting the Reapers solely to remind their creations who's the "superior" one.

Seto Kaiba's (Yu-Gi-Oh!) pride proved so great that it once triggered the Millennium Rod to gain a vision and change his future, but it also proved his greatest fault because he arrogantly denies the facts in front of him.

Vinsmoke Judge (One Piece) is one of the most arrogant tyrants in the world of, believing that the Vinsmoke Family's royal pride and military glory are everything...

..., that he even egoistically coerced his disowned son Sanji into becoming a sacrificial piece to marry off to the dangerous Charlotte family for his own ambitions...

...ironically it is his immense arrogance and hunger for Germa's glory that led him to be duped by Big Mom and nearly be assassinated by her treachery.

Ares Srowa (Shin no Nakama janai to Yuusha no Party wo Oidasareta node, Henkyou de Slow Life suru Koto ni shimashita) has immense arrogance, narcissism and self-centredness, believing he was destined to rule the world due to his extremely rare Divine Blessing of Sage.
