Akuma

It means ''Jaakuna'' or ''Warui''.

''Akuma'' means ''devil'' or ''demon''.

I'm not sure if there is a word for 'evil' because---
悪＝あく＝badness;wickedness
悪い＝わるい＝bad;no good
悪魔＝あくま＝a devil;a demon;Satan

Warui is basically means 'bad'.

Sensei？　御願いします、教えてください。　

I used an online english to japanese dictionary and it gave me ashi

is this correct? Is this another word for evil?

To just curious:
"ashi" is written 悪し using kanji, is a somewhat old-fashined expression, and uses the same kanji as the few other options listed above. It also means "bad." But there are a whole bunch of other words pronounced "ashi" but written completely differently = mean completely different things as well... and when people (including myself) hear "ashi" out of the blue, the first meaning that comes to mind is definitely NOT "evil."

To cc:
I think "jaaku" 邪悪 might be the one to convey the sense of "evil" as against simply "bad."

Thank you everyone for the help!
