for the top ten darkest Nintendo
characters before we begin we publish

bell to get notified about our latest
videos for this list we’re taking a look
at some of Nintendo’s darkest characters
considering their backstories and
actions number ten Giratina Pokemon
series
[Music]
if Arceus is the god of pokemon you know
being the creator of the pokemon
universe and all then what exactly does
that make Giratina
well Giratina is a legendary pokemon
tasked by osseous to create antimatter
jutsu Giratina ‘he’s immense power and
violent behavior Arceus fell it was
necessary to banish it into a realm
known as the distortion world this story
has caused speculation that Giratina is
a malevolent and evil pokemon trapped by
osseous because of the potential havoc
it could wreak either way there’s no
denying Giratina is one scary pokemon
with a dark past this place of
nothingness is what I saw at number-9
one of the scariest things about today’s
world is how quickly artificial
intelligence is advancing patiently
preparing to conquer the earth
with this in mind Mother Brain could not
be more terrifying mother brain was an
artificial intelligence created by the
ancient chose O’s who seemed to have a
hand in almost everything we know about
the Metroid universe she would
eventually betray her creators when they
were attacked by space pirates realizing
that an alliance with them would be more
beneficial to her goals little did she
know that during her time with the chozo
the girl she helped train would become
Kibby has garnered a fairly sizable
gallery of villains from the devilish
and sinister toothy troublesome and
mischievous yet the one we’ve seen in
nearly every game is Meta Knight and to
this day we’re still not sure what his
story is in every encounter he just
shows up
Kibby fights him and then he’s suddenly
our ally what’s your game a knight
do you only fight us for the thrill of
it why must you hide behind your mask
are you kidding lost brother are you an
anti Kirby gang at Nintendo give us some
answers number 7 the Pikmin Pikmin
series
these little dudes may look adorable but
their life stories are much more tragic
we’re not kidding
think about it orlimar feeds onion nests
to create more pikmin right he starts
with a couple has them generate more
pikmin place some obstacles the whole
shebang what does he do when trouble
arises Alomar throws the Pikmin into the
danger basically this means the life of
a Pikmin is to wait until their plug
down the ground make more seeds of their
brethren and protect their master even
when their only defense is to repeatedly
headbutt their enemies just think of the
hundreds of Pikmin lost to a few ball
[Music]
number six and Ross Star Fox series we
could go on about how the Star Fox team
needs amputated legs in order to
withstand their intense flights and dog
fighting but series antagonist and Ross
has a much more demented backstory once
a brilliant scientist will corneria and
Ross conducted experiments in
biotechnology as time went on his sense
of morality was warped and his
experiments were soon deemed unethical
by the cornerian army this resulted in
general pepper banishing Andros to the
barren planet venom
it is a aware and Ross would continue
his experiments using himself as a test
subject while consequently worsening his
mental condition and to think he once
used his intelligence for good what went
wrong
poor porky Minch the kid was nothing
more than a simple nuisance at first but
we never realized how bad of a life he’s
really had from playing through the
mother games we’ve learned a lot about
the troubled life he’s gone through he
lived in an abusive home fell into the
sinister happy happiest cult and
eventually became a follower of another
maniacal character on this list that was
all in earthbound in mother3 porky falls
victim to the absolutely safe capsule
protecting him from all harm
while also imprisoning him for all
number four Mewtwo Pokemon series does
Nintendo have a thing for characters
that have been experimented on awesome
then in the world of Pokemon most of our
favorite monsters have been created in
some natural way being a form of energy
or a natural force me to however is the
most unnatural of the bunch using the
DNA of MU a team of scientists performed
numerous genetic experiments to create
me to see what they did there it may be
one of the most powerful Pokemon in
existence but how could you comprehend
the fact that you are made completely by
science now must be one troubling past
number three gigas mother series as
evident by porky Mitch’s story the
mother series are intensely dark games
and it only gets darker with gigas this
is the alien responsible for turning
porky into the power-hungry deviant he
would become his mere presence can cause
animals and people to turn violence
what’s more disturbing is how he seems
fueled on his hatred for humanity
plotting to imprison the world in its
inner darkness it has been called the
embodiment of evil and regards all
humans and life on Earth as beneath him
stating that they are nothing more than
number two Samus Aran Metroid series she
may be a badass bounty hunter but we
cannot imagine the trauma Samus has been
through living as a victim of unbridled
vengeance after her home was invaded and
her parents were murdered Samus was
taken in by the chozo he would train her
in combat and give her the iconic power
suits Samus would eventually join the
Galactic Federation where she would meet
Ridley the space pirate who murdered her
parents Samus now leads the lonely life
of a bounty hunter constantly on high
alert
knowing how Ridley always seems to come
back from the dead
Samus may never find peace and avenge
her parents
[Music]
number one Skull Kid The Legend of Zelda
series like every other character in
Majora’s Mask Skull Kid story is a
tragic one at one point in his life the
Skull Kid had become friends with the
guardians of Timoner known as the four
Giants when Tamina divided into four
separate regions the Giants left to
watch over each area feeling abandoned
Skull Kid would invoke his rage upon
Tamina when called by the public the
four Giants threaten to kill Skull Kid
if he refused to leave the land during
his exile he met tattle in tale and he
would soon steal Majora’s Mask from the
happy mask salesman thus setting forth
the events of The Legend of Zelda
