As good of points you make Aha, I'm gonna side with Void on this one. I mean, if you think about it, the same can be applied to Aizen as well. I mean, his overall life wasn't as depressing as Madara, but still.....

He concocted that long-ass plan, which spanned over centuries I mind you, all in order to find someone who could understand him in some sense. He wanted to become normal, just like everyone else. Something tells me at some point in time, there were those affected by his power and suffered in some way, which further added fuel to the flames. I mean, his power was greater than any shinigami & we haven't even seen his Bankai (nor will we because of Kubo's machinations).

One of the reasons him and Madara share the same spot at the top is because they're very similar in regards to each other, outside of tropes.
