Special:Badtitle/NS90:Talk:Complete Monster/One Piece/Examples that should remain here.


 * Arlong - As covered below, the point of his character in his arc of the original manga is that while he professes to value his crew and even Nami, he doesn't truly understand the meaning of "Nakama" since he treats them horribly when he feels the need, objectifies them rather than see them as people whom he can love and care for on a personal level. His sole standard is when his crewmate is used as a meat shield and his response is "You dare do that to a fish man?" rather than "You dare do that to my comrade?". His abusive, oppressive, and murderous actions were about as heinous as Kuro's, he's met with fear and hatred from others (even people who serve him have some negative feelings towards the guy!), his potential Pet the Dog is turned into his Moral Event Horizon, he shows no regret for his crimes and no truly redeeming features. Not even his Freudian Excuse is sufficient since he willingly went back on what he promised his dying captain he would not do and became just as hateful and prejudiced a monster as those who persecuted his race solely to compensate for a life time of being looked down upon and getting his feelings hurt. There's a reason he was considered so vile by the author and narrative that he was almost Killed Off For Real.


 * Spandam - He's a considered a small fry in-universe yet somehow still managed to hit off the trope criteria. Within his scale and with his government resources, he does some truly despicable things and nearly brings about the deaths of countless lives out of selfish pride and cowardice. His physical abuse and mental torture of Nico Robin is also horrific, as is his disproportionate treatment of Franky and the Cutler Beckett-esque lengths he goes to in order to persecute pirates. This marks him as heinous by the series' standards, and he's never shown in a positive light. He's initially Played for Laughs and is very much a Laughably Evil bungler, but these don't mitigate his crimes and he has no redeeming qualities. He lacks a good backstory or justification for his deeds, is never remorseful for anything he does, and is thoroughly depicted as an irredeemable bastard to the very end. Despite his shortcomings and small-scale rap sheet, he qualifies.


 * Akainu - He is a vicious and proud Knight Templar who latches on to the cause, codes, standards, and moral judgement of the marines in order to have an outlet to persecute people he feels are worthless, detrimental to society, and beneath him. He is also a psychopath, a sadist, and an oppressor whose deeds are truly heinous by both the series' standards and objective standards. He cares for no one and others are resentful and/or terrified of him. He lacks a Freudian Excuse, shows no remorse for his atrocities, and shows no truly redemptive qualities to mitigate his ruthless behavior.


 * Caesar Clown - The moments he gets after his defeat that are Played for Laughs are not mitigating - they're a Humiliation Conga with him as the Butt Monkey that we're meant to see as well deserved. He's also shown no signs of truly wanting to change and has not actually bonded with the Straw Hats - he interacts with them to relieve the boredom of being a prisoner and would stab them all in the back in a heartbeat if it meant gaining freedom. Otherwise he's shown zero redeeming qualities, committed atrocities that are truly vile and horrifying by any standards, lacks a Freudian Excuse or adequate motivations, is without remorse and even gleeful about what he does, and no one actually likes the guy - many flat out despise him and wish to shut him up for good.


 * Donquixote Doflamingo - He subverted his sole mitigating feature and Pet the Dog behavior of caring for his "family" when he showed he was willing to sacrifice their lives so that he could get the results he wanted. Like Arlong, he objectifies his crew members as commodities and tools whose worth are weighed by how useful they are to him. His reaction to having to destroy them all is basically "Eh, I can always get new, better ones!" He is a narcissist who is incapable of ever truly putting anyone else first before himself. Add to that an insufficient Freudian Excuse given his circumstances, the fear and revulsion of other characters, and one of the biggest rap sheets of heinous acts (with a large body count and attempted body count) in the series, and you have an easy keeper.
