A moral event horizon is when a villain crosses the line too much that any previous sympathy you may have had will be gone with certain events that they do or that they just get more evil by throwing away every chance of redemption they have until they become too dangerous to live. Here are a few examples:
First, Gatchaman Fighter's secondary villain. Though he starts off as a nobody, he becomes a complete monster with everything he does to keep himself in power. I pretty thought a lot of his depraved actions broke the line when he broke his promise to his mother to be reasonable. So pretty much, he imprisons his own half-brother in a cell and tortures the poor guy at a daily basis, he eliminates traitors without mercy and should I mention that he also killed Dr. Nambu and desecrated the poor guy's funeral? If that's not all, he's usually seen being very brutal towards his captives, far more than his predecessors Berg Katse and Gel Sadora would do. Overall, no sympathy for his death since he only wanted to save the Earth so he could rule it with an iron fist.
Cobra Commander in G.I.Joe has crossed the line more times than his temporary replacement Serpentor. In the comics, Cobra Commander though starting off as a used car salesman, he becomes the leader of the greatest terrorist organization the world known as Cobra. As time goes by, he goes from competent criminal mastermind to becoming a psychotic sadist like Galvatron. After all, he is the Megatron of the G.I.Joe universe with Destro as his Starscream. In the cartoon, he became the Starscream when Serpentor temporarily took over his position.
Galvatron's acts of insanity after the movie were what I'd call gone far beyond, even the cruel Quintessons don't match up to this guy! He doesn't treat his followers properly, he doesn't care who really dies even among his troops. Perhaps his greatest moral event horizon was when he actually planned to sacrifice his own troops so he could become Grand Galvatron, a plan that was never carried out.

Radiguet being "Egobossler under a heavy influence of crack" Has done a lot more damage. So he does show he signs he could have redemption but he literally tosses aside every chance of redemption he has like when he fell for a girl named Saki, no not Saki from Go-onger. He does help the Jetmen find Juuza's weak spot only to torture them later for himself. After killing Juuza, he kills Saki whom he fell for while under amnesia so nothing could stop him from his destiny to purge the Universe of what he thinks is foul which includes love. Just to show he's plain ax-crazy he kills the Dimensians out of cold blood, he later uses Duran against Ru just for the pleasure of it. His rivalry with Ryu is really where I'd call to be extremely tense especially with him believing humans to be bastards, a self-righteous snob with his plan to "purify" the Universe while he himself is really that evil. And of course, he "befriended" Ryu but only to throw him aside. When Tranza was defeated, he really pierced the latter's hand with his sword, made him swear allegiance and left him alive and injured to torture his opponent. So eventually with Maria, he turns her into a bloody monster for his pleasure though despite his lust for her, did he have the ability to turn her beautiful again or not? But regardless, the fact he wounded Maria after she recovered from her brainwashing was just cold so he could get even with his rival.
Kamen Rider Ouja is one sick villain, if not let's just say you take Bilgenia, give him the power to become a Kamen Rider with a snake motif and you get Ouja. Ouja is pretty sly to use a girl to bait monsters (and the girl thinks she was saved by him) or that he really kills for the pleasure of it. Plus, he really has utter cruelty to really kill his own family to satisfy his evil desires.
