Five-Bad Band/Anime: Difference between revisions

** [[Enigmatic Minion|The Enigmatic Minion]] - Char Aznable (who serves as [[The Dragon]] for Dozle, then Garma, then Kycilia, with the rather successful goal of stabbing the whole family in the back.)

 

** [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: [[Disc One Final Boss|Alejandro Corner]]

** [[The Dragon]]: Ali Al-Saachez

** [[Big Bad|The Big Bad]] - Homer Katagiri

** [[The Big Bad]] & [[Evil Genius]] - [[Manipulative Bastard|Rau]] [[The Chessmaster|Le]] [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|Creuset]]: He not only leads the team, but is [[The Man Behind the Man]] to pretty much everyone in show.

** [[The Dark Chick]] - [[Nice Guy|Nicol]] [[The Heart|Amalfi]]: Probably the least capable pilot, Nicol makes up for it via technological advantages, including a cloaking device. Normally he'd be [[The Evil Genius]], but on this team, his smarts make him stand out as much or more than his nice guy personality.

** [[Sacrificial Lamb]] - Rusty Mackenzie, Miguel Aiman

 

* ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'' - The Phantom Pain

** [[The Brute]] - [[Axe Crazy|Auel Neider]]: Agressive, violent, and (at least initially) the most unstable of the Extended trio, Auel serves as muscle and little more.

** [[The Dark Chick]] - [[Cloudcuckoolander|Stella Louissier]]: The only female member of the Extended trio, Stella's further separated from her teammates by being an [[Psychopathic Manchild|emotionally-retarded]] ditz with a crush on one of their opponents, and a genuine [[Tragic Villain]].

* ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'' - The ZAFT Team. They fit the archetype, even if they're not [[Anti-Villain|especially evil]] (well, except for [[Dark Messiah|Durandal]]).

** [[The Big Bad]] & [[Evil Genius]] - [[Dark Messiah|Chairman]] [[Manipulative Bastard|Gilbert]] [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|Durandal]]: More or less uses everyone in order to install his [[The Social Darwinist|genetic]] [[The Fatalist|determinist]] [[Utopia Justifies the Means|utopia]].

** [[The Dark Chick]] - [[Action Girl|Lunamaria Hawke]] and/or [[The Captain|Captain]] [[Broken Bird|Talia]] [[Team Mom|Gladys]] (both female, both serve for reasons other than personal loyalty to the Chairman, both have doubts about what they're doing).

 

** [[The Big Bad]]: Dr. Hell, although he also has traits of [[Evil Genius]].

Their boss vehemently refuses to turn, leaving her all alone on the side of bad.}}

 

** [[Big Bad|The "Big Bad"]] - Hayate

** [[The Dragon|The "Dragon"]] - Signum

** [[Anti-Villain|That was in massive "sarcasm quotes"]]

 

** [[The Big Bad]] - Curren (Undisputable leader of the group and apparently their most powerfull member. Also the only member with "Huckebein" as her true last name).

** [[The Evil Genius]] - Fortis (Seems to be the "brains" of the group and Curren's second in command of sorts when she's absent. Also have a calmer and more affable attitude than most of his comrades save Curren).

** [[The Brute]] - Either [[Psycho for Hire|Veyron]] (along with some shades of [[Enigmatic Minion]]) or [[The Quiet One|Deville]] (who seems to be the most physically stronger member of the team and seems to be sort of a boosted [[Mighty Glacier]] in combat).

*** Stella seems to be the [[Tagalong Kid]] with some bits of [[Enfante Terrible]] and [[Creepy Child]] thrown into the mix.

 

** Then Hebi/Taka

** It gets even better. The {{spoiler|[[People Puppets|Six Paths Of Pain]]}} form one, with {{spoiler|[[Living Doll Collector|Nagato]]}} as [[The Man Behind the Man]].

*** [[The Big Bad]]: [[Gravity Master|Deva Path]]. By far the strongest, and most [[Person of Mass Destruction|destructive]] of the six; has the {{spoiler|body of Nagato's best friend Yahiko}}, acts as the field leader, and is the last one standing, taking on Naruto's eight tails form mano-a-mano.

*** [[The Dragon]]: [[Summon Magic|Animal Path I]] --> [[Dark Action Girl|Animal Path II]]. Pain's first line of offense, and the one's he values the most after Deva and Naraka Paths. Have the most openly [[Person of Mass Destruction|destructive]] powers after Deva, being capable taijutsu users and the most powerful [[The Beast Master|Beastmasters]] yet witnessed in series. The original was able to fight [[Badass|Jiriya]] for some time on a fairly even keel, while the second wrecks half of Konoha with her [[Bond Creatures]] and briefly engages [[The Hero|Naruto]] in a one-on-one fight.

*** [[The Evil Genius]]: [[Necromancer|Naraka Path]]. A [[Genius Bruiser]] who's doubles as an interrogater and a souped-up example of [[The Medic]]. The most valued after Deva Path as he keeps all the others running.

*** [[The Dark Chick]]: [[Telepath|Human Path]]. The least valued, and the most easily defeated with [[Your Soul Is Mine]] abilities. Generally serves in a support and interrogation role, along with [[The Evil Genius|Naraka Path]].

** [[The Dragon]] - [[Jerkass|Envy]]. The longest serving member of the team, has a [[Luke, I Am Your Father|personal]] rivalry with the hero, serves as [[The Big Bad]]'s last line of physical defence and is the closest to {{spoiler|her}} emotionally, to the point of being the only member of the team who doesn't take orders from Pride. Fights like an [[Evil Genius]] by [[Shape Shifter|screwing with people's heads]].

** [[The Dragon]]: Lithuania (rather... unwillingly)

*** [[The Dragon]]: England (America's snarky reluctant right-hand man).

* [[Elfen Lied]]'s various henchmen of the Kakuzawa's research facility:

** [[The Dragon]]: Kurama

** [[Evil Genius|The Evil Genius]]: Professor Kakuzawa then Dr. Nousou (Manga)

** [[Sixth Ranger]]: Arakawa

 

** [[Big Bad|The Big Bad]]: Gansley. Former Senior Vice-President at Kaiba Corp, duels against the show's [[The Hero|Hero]] (who is admittedly more of [[The Lancer]] in this arc), and is definitely in charge of the five of them (although outranked by Noah and {{spoiler|Gozaburo}} Kaiba.

** [[The Dragon]]: Lector. The best duelist out the five, holding all their best cards, and former assistant to Kaiba. He duels against Kaiba, who is very much [[The Hero]] of the arc, and comes extremely close to winning. During the team duel against Yugi and Joey he shows an affinity for actual Dragon cards.

** [[Dark Chick|The Dark Chick]]: Mai, who did a [[Face Heel Turn]]. It is implied that while the other three joined Dartz willingly, Mai was brainwashed from the start.

 

** [[Big Bad|The Big Bad]]: Sartorius, or rather the [[Eldritch Abomination]] controlling him.

** [[The Dragon]]: Chazz. Sartorius' first conversion and the strongest of Jaden's friends.

** [[Evil Genius|The Evil Genius]]: Bastion. The strategic, analytical duelist, though he doesn't get a chance to show it under Sartorius' leadership.

** [[Dark Chick|The Dark Chick]]: Alexis. Even when brainwashed she retains loyalty to her former dorm and duels to defend the honor of its members.

 

* Then in Season 3 of GX, we have Yubel and her/his/its minions.

** [[Sixth Ranger Traitor|The Sixth Ranger Traitor]]: Adrian, joins Yubel but later betrays her/him/its and tries to seize power in Yubel's place.

 

** [[Big Bad|The Big Bad]]: Roman. Leader of the group, founding member, last to be beaten.

** [[The Dragon]]: Kalin. First of the group to be fought, Yusei's childhood friend, almost beats him.

* And Yliaster from the same.

** [[Big Bad]]: Z-ONE. The mastermind with powers on par with a god, he will stop at nothing to {{spoiler|prevent the [[Bad Future]] he comes from ever coming to pass}}, even if that means killing millions of people. His deck is based on {{spoiler|[[Light Is Not Good|the glory of angels and God]] and he is the last to be defeated}}.

** [[The Evil Genius]]: {{spoiler|Antinomy, the group's chief manipulator who has all the best gadgets and uses a high-tech deck. Unlike most Evil Geniuses (who are usually the most-irredeemable of the [[Five-Bad Band]] next to the [[Big Bad]]), he's not really a bad guy, and ends up [[Becoming the Mask]] and giving [[The Hero|Yusei]] [[Stealth Mentor|tacit hints]] on defeating Z-ONE. He is third-to-last to be defeated}}.

** [[The Brute]]: Paradox. Probably the most powerful next to Z-ONE (given that he can [[Time Master|control time]]), he's the first to go down, his deck focuses on bringing out big, bad monsters as quick as possible, and his solution for {{spoiler|averting the [[Bad Future]]}} involves lots of people dying and [[Stuff Blowing Up]].

** [[Dark Chick|The Dark Chick]]: Gillgirl

 

** [[Big Bad|The Big Bad]]: Moo

** [[The Dragon]]: General Durahan

** [[Dark Chick|The Dark Chick]]: Shadow Prove and Lync.

 

** [[The Big Bad]]: [[Arch Enemy|Creed]] himself, [[Camp Gay|flamboyant]] and [[Combat Sadomasochist|sadistic]] [[Implausible Fencing Powers|swordmaster]], [[Bad Boss]] and all around [[Axe Crazy|psycho]].

** [[The Brute]]: Maro. A sumo-wrestler who [[Gravity Master|controls gravity]]. Not actually a member of the inner circle, he's obviously the highest ranking of the outsiders, and relays Shiki's orders to them.

** [[The Evil Genius]]: [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|The Doctor]]. He's a [[Mad Scientist]] ([[Evilutionary Biologist]] version), [[The Medic]], and [[Complete Monster|the single most evil character in the story]].

** [[Dark Chick|The Dark Chick]]: [[Defector From Decadence|Echidna]] [[Evil Is Sexy|Parass]]. [[The Smurfette Principle|The only female member]], serves soley because of [[Love Martyr|her crush]] on Creed, and as a [[Villain Teleportation|teleporter]], is a very different kind of threat from the others.

 

** [[Big Bad]]: The Millennium Earl

** [[The Dragon]]: Tyki Mikk

** [[Evil Genius]]: Fiber

* While their efforts are generally unconjoined and seperate from each other, the employees of [[Shugo Chara|Easters]] innerwards workings can be seen like this {{spoiler|until [[Manipulative Bastard|Nikaidou]], of all people, makes a [[Heel Face Turn|heel - face]] within episode 23.}}

** [[Big Bad]]: Kazumu, until Gozen's existence is revealed within episode 22, although Kazumu still displays more traits of the trope (Aside from the fact that Gozen, for most of the series, never shows any portion of his body {{spoiler|(Or his real voice.)}} towards any - one.) and commands the other operatives {{spoiler|and the fact that he's (Albeit probably unintentionally.) partially responsible for Gozen's current condition any - way.}}

** [[The Dragon]]: Kazumu towards Gozen, and perhaps Nikaidou towards Kazumu him - self (While not particularly loyal towards Kazumu, he seems the one most focused upon his "job", and is probably the most apparently "dedicated" towards it. {{spoiler|(Ironically, he is the first to heel - face.)}} He also has a personal vendetta towards all of the Guardians, and, within fact, {{spoiler|every being possible with a Heart's Egg: Jealousy due towards the loss of his own as a child, soon before it was about to hatch.)}}

** [[The Evil Genius]]: While not exactly a genius, Nikaidou probably at first fits this role, at least more than the other workers: He devises each plan of his own to capture the Embryo, including, {{spoiler|rather than capturing the original Embryo, simply making a new one instead.}} Still has evil methods, though. He can also build fully operational combat robots, as well as the machinery he uses occassionally for his plans, some - thing which stems from {{spoiler|his child - hood dreams to be a robotics programmer.}} Later upon, Yukari probably takes more of this role, due towards her finding new ways and researching more technologies in order to amplify the corruption powers of Utau's voice. {{spoiler|And the fact that Yuu just heel - faced.}}

** [[The Dark Chick]] / [[The Brute]]: Utau, who shares the chickish trait of being captured prisoner... Only towards Easter's whims, not the Guardians. This is because the sole reason she works for them is due towards probably - violent threats towards her mother and, more importantly, Ikuto. And when she does find the Embryo, the only reason she'll take it [[Anti-Villain|is the desire towards wishing towards her and Ikuto's freedom.]] She's also the greatest offensive power the corporation have, which confirms her for the latter role, although she usually doesn't take pleasure for it, thus halting her from Brute position. Ikuto would also count, seeing that his Black Lynx Character Transformation form is probably upon par with Utau's Lunatic Charm Character Transformation {{spoiler|(Although Dark Jewel may be another story, despite the time limit.)}} and that he is within partly the same situation, only with threats towards Utau and his mother {{spoiler|([[Brother-Sister Incest|The same one as Ikuto's.]])}} instead, but seeing as he's [[Enigmatic Minion|less likely to obey the smaller details of his orders and presented as far less helpless than Utau...]]
