Line 20:
* Chaos in ''[[Sailor Moon]]''.
* The Emperor of Darkness from ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' and ''[[Great Mazinger]]'' -who fit the bill like [[God of Evil]]-. The [[Humongous Mecha]] [[Big Bad]] Dr. Hell found were ancient -and severely outdated- weapons of his army. During the first series he did not directly interfere with the plot, and he remained in his underground empire, watching the war between Kouji Kabuto and Dr. Hell as one of his underlyings schemed to bring both of them down. After {{spoiler|causing the end of Dr. Hell's army and Mazinger-Z}} he became [[Big Bad]] of the next series.
** {{spoiler|And again, together with the rest of the Mycean Empire}} in ''[[Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-hen]]''.
* In ''[[Outlaw Star]]'', the [[Big Bad]] is a Kei Pirate named Hazanko who seeks to overthrow the Tendo King, an [[The Unseen|unseen]] [[Bigger Bad]]. But there is an even ''bigger'' bad above the Tendo King called the Tenpa Emperor, who is only mentioned once. The identity, powers, and position of these characters is never explained.
* In ''[[Berserk]]'', that would be {{spoiler|The Idea Of Evil}} which also doubles as the story's actual [[Big Bad]] in a way.
Line 42:
** The Light of Ruin in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]''. The second season's [[Big Bad]] was serving it, and the third season's [[Big Bad]] turned to evil because of it.
** The King of the Underworld in the Dark Signers arc of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'', being the force behind the Earthbound Gods and the reason that the Dark Signers can make a [[Deal with the Devil]] and return [[Back From the Dead]]. This one may not qualify, though, as there's no indication it's even sentient and {{spoiler|it, along with its [[Good Counterpart]] the Crimson Dragon, is being played like a violin by the straight [[Big Bad]], Rex Godwin}}.
* In much the same way that [[Adolf Hitler]] will be this by default in almost any story set during WWII, [[Big Screwed-Up Family|the]] [[The Family That Slays Together|Zabi]] [[Royally Screwed-Up|family]] and [[The Caligula|Gihren]] [[The Evil Prince|Zabi]] in particular become this in the various sidestories set during ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'''s One Year War. ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team]]'' and ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in
Line 134:
* The [[Physical God|Exarches]] from ''[[Mage: The Awakening]]'', who stormed the supernatural realms and broke reality in the distant past. Together all 11 of them form the main villains of the setting, responsible for both the [[Cosmic Horror Story|Abyss]] and the depressing state of the world.
** The Wyrm was this for the now defunct ''[[Werewolf: The Apocalypse]].''
* The Chaos Gods serve this role in [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]] and [[Warhammer 40000]] (they'd probably be the [[Big Bad]] if they weren't so focused on the struggle for dominance among themselves).
** The C'tan [[Ultimate Evil|Void Dragon]] is a strong contender.
* ''[[Blue Rose]]'' has the seven Exarchs of Shadow, though it's never stated explicitly whether they actually exist or are just a myth.
Line 142:
== Trading Cards ==
* The Supreme Monstrosity in [[Dinosaurs Attack!]], also named by fans, "Dinosaur Satan."
* The Eldrazi in [[Magic: The Gathering]], until ''Rise of the Eldrazi'' when they actually show up.
** ''Magic'' previously had Yawgmoth, who had a similar treatment. For most of the original storyline, the various Evincars of [[Mordor|Rath]] were the setting's primary antagonists, especially Volrath. Rath and its Evincars were essentially satellites to [[Physical Hell|Phyrexia]] and [[God of Evil|Yawgmoth]], it's ruler. While Phyrexia turned up quite a bit throughout the game's history (going at least as far back as Phyrexian War Beast in ''Alliances''), Yawgmoth Himself didn't take center stage until the ''Urza's'' Block and then not again until ''Invasion.''
Line 185:
* In ''[[Bully (video game)|Bully]]'', Mr. Harrington, the father of [[Smug Snake|Derby]] [[Blond Guys Are Evil|Harrington]], fills a role like this. He doesn't make a personal appearance in the story and is only referenced in a few lines of dialogue, but his money and meddling in school affairs are one of the root causes of a lot of the corruption at Bullworth Academy.
* ''[[Ace Attorney Investigations|Ace Attorney Investigations 2]]'' has {{spoiler|Teikun_Ō,}} who not only took the identity of {{spoiler|the president of Zheng-Fa}} but also had powerful associates in the Prison and Legal systems of Japan/USA. However, his actions also lead to {{spoiler|his death at the hands of the [[Big Bad]]: Sōta Sarushiro}}
* {{spoiler|Prime Minister Bill Hawks}} in ''[[Professor Layton and the Unwound Future]]''. Aside from being a [[
* The main villain of ''[[Homestar Runner|Stinkoman 20X6]]'', due to the game not having a final level.
* The Shadow Queen from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' takes this role, being a [[Sealed Evil in a Can]], and is most likely the catastrophe that destroyed the ancient town. Grodus, the actual [[Big Bad]], seeks to free her so he can use her for his own ends. [[Evil Is Not a Toy|This proves unfortunate]].
