No, cause even if they're compelled by spell or instinct, they still fulfill the role of a villain, or at least an antivillain. That's why I assigned the villain label to Medic and Gentoku, as they were originally good people who were tragically turned evil by corrupting elements and they later reverted to good after being cured. Chihiro was a victim of addiction and although he wasn't quite a villain, he was on the brink and might've become a villain if he had survived, without receiving some kind of therapy. Which makes it similar to Kouta having to kill Kaito after failing to redeem him.
And yeah, like my example from before of Kouta victimizing Yoko, there are definitely times when a hero does bad things. I can probably name many of them from Revice! However, when this isn't being used to challenge the hero's morality, then this is a failure of the writer, story and character for ignoring the bad deed in favor of making the villains even worse. Furthermore, I specified severe bad deeds, as this can often be another distinguishing factor between a villain/antivillain who kills and an antihero who maims. But for a hero in this position, the distinction should be their regret and willingness to repent, such as Sougo seeing his future self as the evil demon king and choosing not to become him, but the greatest kindest demon king instead. Probably the upcoming arc for Kazama Jin in Tekken 8, following his tenure as chaotic antivillain.
