evil villains to come from the JRPG

Wilhelm Xenosaga series to protect the
universe from dissipation I created an
organization to manage and watch over
those birds
that’s for misis true objective turns
out that the most powerful and
influential figure in the universe is a
CEO after witnessing what he believes to
be the true essence of human nature and
how it will destroy everything
Wilhelm decides to orchestrate and
manipulate humanity as a whole in order
to beer them in the right direction are
you sure
large numbers of wills have already
gathered here on their own they all
reject the world as it is now and wish
for days long past thanks to his
constant use of eternal recurrence which
basically resets the universe he’s been
able to spend centuries taking control
of government’s religion and all other
major aspects of society pushing mankind
on a path he deems necessary even if you
agree with his intentions the fact that
he’s the puppet master of the universe
who will sacrifice anyone to reach his
goals puts him clearly in the wrong what
do you think you’re doing now I refuse
to continue to let you do as you please
number nine Gabriel star ocean the
second story you think I’ll just give up
I’m the only one left and why should I
care about that there’s no need for
anyone else but me now this is a man who
knows how to hold a grudge
also known is in D’Alessio and dr.
Landis he was the creator and leader of
the living biological weapons known as
the ten wise men they were uninterested
in interplanetary cooperation they
wanted the entire galaxy under their
iron fists while their original purpose
was to keep a tyrannical rule over a
conquered universe the death of his
daughter pushed Gabriel over the edge
and he reprogrammed the tent so they
would destroy everything instead after
waiting for a billion years
he finally resurfaces with his follower
in tow ready to carry out universal
genocide in the name of revenge talk
about anger issues and kindness trying
to destroy me and for what reasons do I
live yeah number eight douse hails a
Fantasia
[Music]
this is a rather tragic character who is
as much a victim of circumstance as he
is a villain originally a ruler who
desired nothing but peace for his
kingdom a war with neighboring lands led
to the life-giving energy source known
as mana being drained from his homeland
leaving it in ruins as he desperately
searched other worlds in a vain hope of
finding more mana to restore his kingdom
he was branded as a possible usurper and
essentially his chances of ever saving
the world were killed with nothing left
to fight for he decides to become the
berry thing the masses declared him to
be a demon king and has since promised
to destroy mankind completely
[Music]
numbers have it gallium lunar series
perhaps you should demonstrate the power
that gives you such confidence and we
will see who is fit to be supreme ruler
and who is dead this is yet another case
of a good guy gone bad though in this
case it could be argued that the seed of
evil was are always there to begin with
once hailed as a legendary hero and the
most powerful mage in the world galleons
turned to the dark side began after he
believed his comrade had died
fortunately I now have a chance to
surpass it the world who once again be
mine on a delicious half-shell going on
to assume the mantle of the magic
Emperor he viewed himself as the only
one capable of ruling since humanity
would be lost without a God to lead them
it’s this viewpoint that leads him to
commit acts of mass destruction and
slave labor so I guess it goes without
saying that he’s definitely not the
benevolent kind of deity someday people
may this day
but my glorious rule can only begin with
your enslaved number-6 dark force aka
dark Falls phantasy star series with
that well rather stupid name like that
we’re not sure you could be anything but
pure evil I guess
throughout the series this spirit of
darkness has caused nothing but mayhem
for the people of all go over the
centuries from twisting the mind of a
benevolent leader into a tyrant to
engineering a civil war the being once
known as profound darkness has proven
itself to not only be a master of
manipulation but a damn hard boss with
its grotesque appearance insistence on
using transformations and a stubborn
refusal to die it more than earned its
namesake as a force to be reckoned with
number five Queens Ile Chrono Trigger
[Music]
we could’ve easily given a spot to the
parasitic lavos as it stands tall as one
of the better final bosses in JRPGs but
as a character we simply couldn’t take
away the spotlight from the matriarch of
antiquity obsessed with harnessing the
power of Lavos for herself zeal is a
selfish being that has turned her
magically advanced Kingdom into a
reflection of her wants and desires as
her paranoia and desire for immortality
grows she forsakes her citizens and even
her own children on her twisted path for
ultimate desire Lavos may be the more
destructive being but for her Rutter
heartlessness in regards to others zeal
manages to still snag the crown
[Music]
number four Luca blight so we could in –
[Music]
he’s known as the mad Prince but we
prefer to think of him as sir douchebag
the villainy of this man knows no bounds
how evil is he
well after betraying his father the King
he takes control of the military and
breaks a ceasefire reigniting a war
[Music]
from there on out it’s nothing but
bloodshed and depravity as he lets his
inner berserker run wild
everything you need to know about Lucca
is shown when he makes a woman beg for
her life after he burns down her town
making her act like a pig before killing
her anyway he may be human but on the
inside he’s the biggest monster of them
all number three
porky Mitch mother series say hello to
one of the worst children ever put in a
JRPG the eternal nemesis of ness and
Lucas porky has had a hand in every
terrible event in the series originally
serving as the right hand to the
formless being known as gigas in
earthbound he went from being an
immature child to an immortal dictator
in mother3
he has a whole list of other atrocities
under his belt but most heart-wrenching
is when he took Lucas’s thought dead
twin Klaus and turned him into a
brainwashed assassin and he doesn’t even
get his comeuppance at the end of the
day as he’s safely contained in his
capsule while everyone else suffers
obnoxious to the end number two Toru
Adachi
persona for stop yelling Punk I
understand you’re all afraid and got to
act tough to cover it up but she’s as
much as this game has to do with
supernatural worlds on combat and
investing characters at its core is a
murder mystery and every good murder
mystery needs a killer in this instance
it turns out to be the comic relief yeah
so what’s your point all I did was put
people in here it’s the world that
really kills them isn’t it while
originally perceived as the always
smiling partner of the protagonist
workaholic detective uncle as it turns
out he is a sadistic deceiving scumbag
who finds life to be too dull for his
liking and that killing and kidnapping
or his ways of having fun even if you
guessed whodunit from the start his
sudden switch from silly to psycho is
bound to take you off guard and throw
you right aboard the crazy train shut up
shut up shut up I think you need to see
what it’s like to fear for your life
it’ll get your head straight before we
reveal our number one pick here if you
honorable mentions
by my will we
I can get you
number one Kefka Palazzo final fantasy 6
[Music]
this series is famous for having a range
of darkly bizarre villains but only two
have really managed to stand the test of
time to do their iconic status wicked
presences and destructive motivations
we’re all for the sword-swinging
calamity known is the one wing an angel
but we’re afraid that Sephiroth has to
bend the knee to quite possibly the most
dangerous jester in all video games
it looks like now’s the time for you to
show us what you can do it’s only one of
them – you know this is your chance to
shine with his maniacal nature
boisterous personality and sociopathic
vendetta against life itself kefka not
only kills a heck of a lot of people but
actually manages to become God by the
game’s climax with so much devastation
left in his wake the psycho clown in one
way or another truly got the last laugh
[Music]
