A very old trope, in which left-handedness is a signal that that someone is the Villain or The Mole, or occasionally just susceptible to the Heel–Face Revolving Door. This only counts when somebody is specifically mentioned as being left-handed, not just because an actor is left-handed. Have some Trivia — the word "sinister" actually is derived from the Latin word for left-handedness, and also related to the Bar Sinister which is a symbol of bastardy, and thus untrustworthiness. This is also related to Evil Twin; twins do often have opposite dominant hands, and an Evil Twin will (almost invariably) be the left-handed one. Additionally, in older times, left-handedness was often a sign of evil or trickery because of the fact that people would shake hands with their right, grabbing each other by the wrists, in order to show that they were friendly and didn't have weapons. Of course, this is incredibly small-minded since if left-handed people were in the majority then it would be the other way around. Still, a lefty could shake with their right hand, grasping the other person's dominant hand, and attack with their weapon in their left hand while the other was defenceless — or even steal a rightie's weapon more easily. Also, during the Middle Ages, towers were built so defenders would have no problem swinging their swords down staircases while attackers would have more difficulties swinging up — and staircases are still built this way to this day. However, this only applied if both were right-handed; if the attacker were left-handed, the two would be evenly matched. In many cultures, before the invention of toilet paper and forks, the right hand note aka "dexter" was used for eating, greeting, etc., while the left hand was used for wiping and other less savory things. In some places, being left dominant was a sign that there was something inherently "wrong" with the child, to the point of demonic possession, and to this day some parents will tie a left-handed child's hand behind their back until they learn to be ambidextrous. Ironically this will not change the hand that you instinctively lead with in your daily interactions. Another related trope is for a character to lose his right hand, symbolizing his loss of a moral compass. This can presage a Face–Heel Turn by the Hero. It is also common for Mad Scientists to have a mechanical right arm. Alternatively, the left hand might become the repository of Sealed Evil in a Can. Compare Red Right Hand. A subtrope is The Killer Was Left-Handed, where there is actually evidence that the killer was left-handed. Examples of that trope should go there. The opposite, when left-handedness is viewed favorably, is Southpaw Advantage. Sometimes overlaps with Left-Handed Mirror. Also see I Am Not Left-Handed. Because we don't want to call left-handed people evil, No Real Life Examples, Please! |

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Interestingly, the Wii version has Ganondorf, traditionally right-handed, turned left-handed. This is because of the control scheme of the Wii, and since the deadline of the game was getting close, the developers couldn't simply make Link right-handed and leave the rest of the version intact, so they decided to simply mirror it, thus turning most characters left-handed, including Ganondorf. | |

Tokyo Ghoul: The novelist Sen Takatsuki/Eto Yoshimura is left-handed and is eventually revealed to be a major villain of the series as the real One-Eyed Owl and the leader of Aogiri Tree. Downplayed in the sequel, however, as while she is vicious and amoral, all her actions are geared to destroy the true villain of the series. | |

Grand Theft Auto V: In the mission "By the Book", Michael, on the FIB's behalf, has to locate and assassinate an alleged terrorist at a house party, with a handful of descriptors extracted from the target's associate by Trevor to go off of. One of these descriptors is that he's left-handed. Subverted, if the post-mission news reports are to be believed, as it's revealed that the assassination target was in fact a green energy mogul and philanthropist. | |

Kirby: Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, Meta Knight has his dominant hand inverted while within the mirror from right to left, however, while within the mirror, Dark Meta Knight still uses his right hand, implying that, in the normal world, he would be left-handed. Not that you need that to tell that he's a bad guy. Kirbys Return To Dreamland: Magolor is, if you look carefully in the fights against him, clearly left-handed, although you don't see this much until you already know he's evil. |

Yes, he is a NESTS lapdog who performs assassinations for them without question. But compared to his peers (especially K9999) and superiors, he's one of the noblest members of the lot. | |

Final Fantasy VII: Dyne, a side-villain, had his crippled LEFT arm replaced with a machine gun, and is distinctly portrayed as a serial killing lunatic too far off the deep end to be reasoned with. The reverse is true of Barret — even though he leads an Eco-Terrorist organisation that blows up a power plant and kills hundreds of people, his RIGHT hand was the one replaced with a similar weapon. He turns out to be a nice but misguided person who is a doting father and dedicated friend. Sephiroth and his remnants are also all lefties. This plays into their roles as the Foil to protagonist Cloud Strife: While he swings a BFS with a double-handed right-hand grip (for the most part), Sephiroth and Kadaj use Katanas, Yazoo wields a Gun Blade, and Loz is armed with a Pile Bunker — all of them (primarily) using only their left hands to wield their weapons. Reno of The Truks wields his Shock Stick left-handed, though he's more of a Punch-Clock Villain. |

Dark Souls II The Fume Knight, AKA Raime, held his BFS in his left hand. He was also known as the left hand of King Vendrick prior to his betrayal, while the more noble Velstadt was the right hand. The Burnt Ivory King is a tragic example. He was genuinely a nice person prior to his fallen hero due to the old Chaos. |

Parasyte: The lead characters are a young man named Shinichi and the alien parasite that has possessed/replaced his right hand. Their relationship is one of the main foci of the series, especially re: Shinichi losing part of his humanity. As early as the first volume, the Love Interest intuits there's something weird about his right hand and switches around him to hold his left instead. The original English translation was flipped and 'Migi' was named 'Lefty' instead. | |

Dies Irae: Reinhard, the main Big Bad, is left-handed. There is also the Foil of the main character, Shirou Yusa, who is also left-handed. This is not a coincidence as both are what is known as an Apoptosis, an embodiment of someone's hidden self-destructive desires. | |

Star Trek: Star Trek: The Next Generation Data figures out he and Picard are trapped in a holodeck Enterprise when (the simulation of) Geordi catches a tool Data throws to him with his left hand, exposing a programming glitch Data was already aware of (from playing a Sherlock Holmes mystery program.) Data reveals that his brother Lore was equipped with a Type L Phase Discriminating Amplifier while Data was equipped with a Type R. Also averted by Data himself, who uses his left hand dominantly like his (and Lore's) actor Brent Spiner. The logo of the Borg Collective looks like a grasping left hand. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Pah Wraith worshippers wear their earrings on their left ear instead of their right. |

Pokémon Colosseum: The two models of the portable Snag Machine are depicted as being worn on the left arm. Neither of their wielders is particularly nasty (thought one moreso than the other), but the folks behind inventing the device are the epitome of evil in the Pokeverse. As a comparison, in XD, Michael always makes a regular catch (at the Poke Spots, given that's where wild Pokemon appear from time to time) or calls out a Pokemon with his right hand. He only uses his left when he needs to make a Snag. | |

Hell Teacher Nube: The left hand of the titular character is actually a sealed Oni, Baki, which replaces the left hand he lost fighting said Oni. Most of the time, it looks like his regular hand wearing a black leather glove; when his students are threatened by spectral horrors, he will reveal it as a monstrously large, dark red hand with visible tendons and black claws. However, he constantly seeks a way to seal it permanently, as only the influence of his childhood teacher prevents the Oni from taking over his entire body. | |

Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, Meta Knight has his dominant hand inverted while within the mirror from right to left, however, while within the mirror, Dark Meta Knight still uses his right hand, implying that, in the normal world, he would be left-handed.

Final Fantasy IV: The main villain, Golbez, is left-handed. However, you only learn this when he's freed from brainwashing (done by the real villain) and becomes a protagonist in the sequel. He wields weapons in his left and shields in his right. Similarly, Kain is left-handed, and ends up brainwashed to fight for the villain. | |

League of Legends has Morgana the Fallen, a Lady of Black Magic who — while not strictly "evil" — has a wicked appearance and casts shadowfire magic most predominantly from her left hand. This puts her in deliberate contrast to her angelic twin sister, Kayle the Righteous, who wields a holy sword in her right hand. It's especially notable considering this is only true following their 2019 redesigns — prior to the update, Kayle was lefthanded while Morgana didn't display a dominant hand, suggesting their current animations were done as very deliberate symbolism. | |

One Piece: An interesting case with the Straw Hats, as none of them are evil, but a large number of them have something of importance on their left side. Luffy has his scar underneath his left eye. Nami's tattoo is on her left arm. Zoro's earrings are on his left ear, and although ambidextrous appears to prefer his left hand. Usopp always wears his wrist band on his left hand. Sanji's left eye is always covered. Chopper's antler plate is located on his left antler. Interestingly enough, the two Strawhats that finally break this pattern, Robin and Franky, are both introduced to the story as villains/antagonists to the Strawhats. Brook then completely subverts it, as his one asymmetrical trait is on the right side of his face. Sanji also subverts this after the Time Skip, when his bangs switch eyes to cover his right one instead. | |

Read or Die: Figures prominently. Really prominently — will ruin the main plot twist if you read the spoiler. Nancy is left-handed and is The Mole. Then to add to that she has an Evil Twin and they are differentiated only by their dominant hand. Inverted because the right-handed Nancy is the Evil Twin. As an alternative interpretation, it is not inverted because left-handed Nancy betrayed Yomiko first, and then betrayed and killed her own lover (although he had betrayed her), while right-handed Nancy was at least loyal to her man, making the left-handed Nancy experience a Heel–Face Revolving Door. | |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy VII: Dyne, a side-villain, had his crippled LEFT arm replaced with a machine gun, and is distinctly portrayed as a serial killing lunatic too far off the deep end to be reasoned with. The reverse is true of Barret — even though he leads an Eco-Terrorist organisation that blows up a power plant and kills hundreds of people, his RIGHT hand was the one replaced with a similar weapon. He turns out to be a nice but misguided person who is a doting father and dedicated friend. Sephiroth and his remnants are also all lefties. This plays into their roles as the Foil to protagonist Cloud Strife: While he swings a BFS with a double-handed right-hand grip (for the most part), Sephiroth and Kadaj use Katanas, Yazoo wields a Gun Blade, and Loz is armed with a Pile Bunker — all of them (primarily) using only their left hands to wield their weapons. Reno of The Truks wields his Shock Stick left-handed, though he's more of a Punch-Clock Villain. Final Fantasy IV: Big Bad Golbez is left-handed but, aside from him, both Kain and Palom are subversions; the former has a case of Heel–Face Revolving Door but ultimately ends up as a Face, while the latter was never so much "evil" as they were "a brat with a bad attitude." Both left-handed, both ultimately heroic. |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: In the first season, a duelist needs one of two entry cards to participate in the Duelist Kingdom playoff tournament; each such card indicates a prize to be claimed by the tournament's victor. Glory of the King's Opposite Hand is a blank card which entitles the holder to one wish granted by Pegasus J. Crawford, to the extent of his power, but the holder will risk getting their soul stolen if they lose. In contrast, Glory of the King's Hand depicts a treasure room filled with coins, jewels, and the like, and entitles the holder to three million yen note or dollars, if you're watching the dub . Mai Kujaku and "Bandit" Keith Howard are in the tournament for the money, and take King's Hand. Jounouchi does, too, albeit in hopes of paying for his sister's desperately-needed eye surgery. Yugi only wants his to save his grandfather, so he uses King's Opposite Hand. | |

Ace Attorney: Played with. Three victims (Dustin Prince, Byrne Faraday, and Dumas Gloomsbury) are left-handed, and the fact the killers or prosecution tend to make the mistake of treating them as right-handed comes up as a contradiction that advance your case. There are two killers who are left-handed, Yanni Yogi and Lance Amano, and the latter actually tries to use that to his advantage by using his non-dominant hand when he attacks Edgeworth with a prop sword to knock him out. However, Edgeworth manages to prove his handedness wouldn't matter thanks to the ease of using a prop sword. | |

Soul Series: Siegfried Schtauffen and thus his Superpowered Evil Side, Nightmare, are ambidextrous. However, Siegfried prefers to wield his sword in his right hand when possible (when it's not, he fights with his left hand nearer to the crossguard, which is more typical of lefties). Nightmare doesn't zig-zag and just holds the sword in his left hand. The Nightmare in Soulcalibur V is using a different host, yet remains left-handed. It's assumed that his new host, Graf Dumas, is actually Raphael Sorel, the only left-handed fighter besides the Nightmare. |

The Night of the Hunter: Reverend Harry Powell. The fingers on his right hand are tattooed with the word L O V E, while the left hand is tattooed H A T E. His Character Catchphrase? "Do you want to hear the story of left-hand and right-hand?" | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Very subtle and not called into view, but all the members of Z-One's team, (Placido, Lucciano, Jose, Aporia, Paradox and Antimony/Bruno) all wore their Duel Disks on their right arm, and hence were all left-handed. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Sage of Darkness features the Skull Kid, who wields a whip with his left hand. This is a hint to his true identity of the seemingly well-meaning Davik, who had his right hand cut off years past. | |

Lone Wolf: Inverted (thematically at least): magic traditions inspired by the Forces of Light are referred to as "left-handed", while the Black Magic of the servants of God of Darkness Naar are referred to as "right-handed". | |

Tales of the Abyss: Inverted — The Hero is left-handed, while his Evil Twin is right-handed, or at least favours his right hand in combat, allowing the pair to milk Fearful Symmetry for all its worth. | |

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis: The titular Nemesis is a lefty. This is useful to know in gameplay because you dodge his punches and grabs by juking to his right side. | |

Ratatouille: Anton uses his left hand for eating and handling glasses, although he's shown using his right more often when in public. Downplayed in that he is not evil, just a very strict critic. | |

Friday Night Funkin': Daddy Dearest, Senpai, and Sergeant John Captain, AKA Tankman each hold the microphone in their left hand. In Senpai's case, it serves as Foreshadowing of his Bitch in Sheep's Clothing personality and Spirit hiding in his coding. | |

The Passion of the Christ: A nail is driven into Christ's hand by the left hand of the director, Mel Gibson. The point is that all people, even the ones who worship Jesus and proclaim his passion to the world, are responsible for his death because he died due to the sinister part of each and every person. | |

Super Smash Bros.: The Master Hand is a giant, floating, apparently benign right hand who created the world that the characters find themselves in, and lives to be the ultimate challenge for heroes. The idea is that he is the hand of the child making the trophies fight, just like a kid in his room playing with action figures. His Evil Twin is the Crazy Hand, the left hand of the pair, who laughs maniacally upon his entrance and whose attacks and general movements are both bizarre and incredibly erratic. Whereas Master Hand is said to be a benign force and to represent the creative nature of a child, Crazy Hand is a destroyer, and supposedly represents that same child's more sadistic qualities. In the end, Master Hand doesn't look particularly saintly himself with his equally Evil Laugh, and both hands still serve as the final bosses of the modes where they appear, so the implications of good versus evil between them are downplayed. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation Data figures out he and Picard are trapped in a holodeck Enterprise when (the simulation of) Geordi catches a tool Data throws to him with his left hand, exposing a programming glitch Data was already aware of (from playing a Sherlock Holmes mystery program.) Data reveals that his brother Lore was equipped with a Type L Phase Discriminating Amplifier while Data was equipped with a Type R. Also averted by Data himself, who uses his left hand dominantly like his (and Lore's) actor Brent Spiner. The logo of the Borg Collective looks like a grasping left hand. |
