Line 29:
* Millenniumon in ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]''. [[Kicked Upstairs]] variety.
** In [[Digimon Adventure|the original series]], Apocalymon, who [[Diabolus Ex Nihilo|wasn't even so much as hinted at until his appearance.]]
* The World Government is the Bigger Bad of the ''[[One Piece]]'', since they're in direct control of the Marines, and ostensibly the Seven Warlords of the Sea, which the Straw Hat Pirates have come into conflict with at least three of its members, serve under the Government. They also directly, or indirectly affected the lives of at least three of the main characters because they considered their parental figures or family members as too dangerous. They even stopped the Marines from putting bounties on several dozen global criminals because it would ''hurt their image''.
* [[Disc One Final Boss|Primal Dialga]] was portrayed as one in the anime adaptation of ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky]]''. Granted, as he wasn't even the villain of the game.
* In [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Higurashi]], we have the [[Big Bad|Takano Miyo]], but Tokyo seemed to be more of the antagonists, since in reality, they didn't give a crap about the [[Hate Plague|Hinamizawa Syndrome]], or they have even said to Miyo that she had [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|outlived her usefulness]] after she [[Earn Your Happy Ending|lost to Rika and her friends]].
Line 43:
** 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 the Pocket]]'' are both examples of this.
