Five-Bad Band/Anime: Difference between revisions

** [[Big Bad|The Big Bad]] - Sovereign Degwin, [[Non -Action Big Bad|though he's not up to much direct villainy]].

** [[The Dragon]], [[Dragon -in -Chief]], and [[The Starscream]] - [[Evil Prince|Prince Gihren]], who commands the army, devises their strategies, and keeps up morale via [[Rousing Speech]].

** [[The Dark Chick]] - Prince Garma (male, but [[Fan Service|Fanservicey]], and explicitly only had his position due to family connections, which explains his constant and desperate need to [["Well Done, Son" Guy|prove himself to his siblings]].)

** [[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 Brute]] (s) - [[Cold Sniper|Dearka]] [[Tall, Dark and Snarky|Elsman]] (The proud and unsubtle owner of a [[BFG]]) and [[Hot Blooded|Yzak]] [[Jerkass|Joule]] (a borderline [[Sociopathic Soldier]] who ''really'' enjoys close-up fighting).

** [[The Big Bad]] - [[Complete Monster|Lord Djibril]]: Azrael's successor, Djibril's the [[Diabolical Mastermind]] and [[Card -Carrying Villain]] behind this incarnation of the Earth Sphere Alliance.

* ''[[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]].

** [[Co -Dragons]] - {{spoiler|V.V. & Marianne vi Britannia}}

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

*** [[The Brute|The Brutes]]: [[Stone Wall|Preta Path]] and [[Multi -Armed and Dangerous|Asura Path]]. The former's a [[Fat Bastard]] with [[Energy Absorption]] powers who serves as Pain's main line of defence; the latter's a physically intimidating [[Hollywood Cyborg]] with [[Frickin' Laser Beams]] that relies on [[More Dakka]] and [[Macross Missile Massacre]] to overpower individual opponents.

** [[The Brute|The Brute(s)]] - [[Blinding Bangs|Cabaji]] & [[The Beast Master|Mohji]] (Both of which used to be [[Co -Dragons]] until Alvida came along)

** [[Dark Chick]] - [[Multi -Armed and Dangerous|Hatchan]] (Although he is Arlong's First Mate and [[The Lancer|Zoro's]] opponent for the Arc, usual qualificaitons for a Dragon, he is the resident "quirky" villain, and the only one to eventually get redeemed)

** [[Team Pet]] - [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Cows|Mohmoo]]

*** [[Co -Dragons]] - [[Made of Iron|Mr. 1]] + [[Dark Action Girl|Miss Doublefinger]] (The highest-ranked Officers after the Crocodile/Robin pair, and Mr. 1 remains Crocodile's Dragon after {{spoiler|Impel Down}})

** [[Non -Action Big Bad]] - [[Dirty Coward|Spandam]], who remains [[The Unfought]] throught the Arc.

** [[Dragon -in -Chief]] - [[Ax Crazy|Rob Lucci]], the guy many assume to be the [[Big Bad]]

** [[Team Pet|Team Pet(s)]] - [[Non -Human Sidekick|Hattori]] (Lucci's pet pidgeon) & [[Living Weapon|Funkfreed]] (Spandam's Elephant sword)

** [[The Brute]] - [[Light 'Em Up|Admiral Kizaru]], just as formidable as the other admirals but quite a [[Cloudcuckoolander]], and is incredibly destructive.

** [[Sixth Ranger]] - [[Boisterous Bruiser|Vice Admiral Garp]] & [[Implausible Fencing Powers|Vice Admiral Momonga]], and [[Multi -Armed and Dangerous|Vice Admiral Onigumo]] all three are incredibly powerful.

** [[Co -Dragons]] - [[Fat Bastard|The fake Zoro]] & [[Gonk|The fake Sanji]], the two with the most seeming authority in the nuclear crew, and the two with any real brains.

** [[Dark Chick]](s) - [[Gonk|The fake Nami]] & [[Non -Action Guy|The fake Robin/Cocoa)]].

** [[The Brute]] - [[Multi -Armed and Dangerous|Ikaros]] [[Blade On a Stick|Much]] and [[Drop the Hammer|Dosun]]

** [[Big Bad|The Big Bad]] - G (an orphan who lost everything, from his humanity to his name, being [[Training From Hell|trained to kill]] by a high-class paranoiac. Don't hit him too hard, or he'll go [[One -Winged Angel]] on you.) (Though [[Lady of War|Aoi Asahina]], [[The Lancer]] to Ryoko Mitsurugi's [[The Hero|Heroine]] and G's [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]], [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight|believes he's still out there]]...)

** Note that, in the first half of the series, Misa acts as [[The Dragon]] and Rem as [[The Brute]]; however, Light's allies don't form a full [[Five -Bad Band]] at this point.

** [[Co -Dragons]]: [[The Starscream|Gin]] [[Cunning Like a Fox|Ichimaru]] and [[Dragon With an Agenda|Kaname Tousen]]

** [[Evil Genius]]: [[Brilliant but Lazy|Coyote]] [[Anti -Villain|Starrk]]

** [[Big Bad]] [[Sixth Ranger Traitor]]: {{spoiler|Kokutou (betrayed the [[Five -Man Band]] and took over as the main villain after Shuren was killed)}}.

** [[The Dragon]] and [[Dark Chick]]: Gatomon/Tailmon (his [[Right -Hand -Cat|top-cat]] {{spoiler|Until her [[Heel Face Turn]], that is}})

** [[The Starscream]] / [[Dragon -in -Chief]]: Majin Buu

** [[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]].

** [[Dark Chick]] - [[Luke, I Am Your Father|Sloth]] and [[Wild Child|Wrath]] (although Lust is a [[Dark Action Girl]])

** [[Sixth Ranger Traitor]] - [[Anti -Villain|Greed]] {{spoiler|but also [[High Heel Face Turn|Lust]] eventually}}

** [[Sixth Ranger]] / [[Sixth Ranger Traitor]]: Schrödinger, or maybe {{spoiler|Walter C. [[Spell My Name With an "S"|Dol(/r?)nez]],}} with his {{spoiler|first [[Face Heel Turn]], that happened forty years before, in ''The Dawn'' timeline, or second, in the final battle}}

** [[The Dragon]] - Femto/{{spoiler|Griffith}}, [[ItsIt's Personal]] embodied. The most powerful and [[Bishonen Line|most humanoid]] of the group, and Guts's [[Arch Nemesis]].

* Can we see Russia, his sisters and the Baltics from [[Axis Powers Hetalia (Manga)|Axis Powers Hetalia]] as a parody of the [[Five -Bad Band]]? If it's the case...

* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh GX]]'', Sartorius forms his band by brainwashing members of Jaden's [[Five -Man Band]]. All of them but Ojin were Jaden's friends before their [[Face Heel Turn]].

** [[Sixth Ranger Traitor|The Sixth Ranger Traitor]]: {{spoiler|Rex}}. Duels Roman and loses on purpose to become a Dark Signer as part of his plan to turn himself into a [[Yin -Yang Bomb]] and [[Take a Third Option]].

** [[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 Dark Chick]]: {{spoiler|Sherry Leblanc. She stands out in that she is the only female, joined the group much later than the others (or would that be [[Timey -Wimey Ball|earlier]]?), and is unsure about Z-ONE's goal, having been coerced into helping. She uses a [[Heart Is an Awesome Power|flower deck]] and is the second to go down}}.

** [[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]].

*** [[Evil Genius]]: [[Big Ol' Eyebrows|Yuka]] [[Anti -Magic|Suzuki]]

** [[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...]]

** [[Co -Dragons]]: [[The Juggernaut|Rikiya Gaou]] and [[Psycho Supporter|Hiromi Kisiragi]], described as Hakushuu's Right Hand and Left Hand by Marco, Hiruma, and most commentators. Gaou breaks quarterbacks, runningbacks and linemen, while Kisiragi cripples recievers.

** The [[Big Bad]]: [[Affably Evil|Hisataka]] [[Visionary Villain|Kato]], leader of the organization, a smooth-talking [[Non -Action Guy]] and a very capable [[Chessmaster]] in his own right. {{spoiler|Actually a [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]]}}.

** [[Co -Dragons]]: Miyo Takano, Okonogi & Teppei Houjou

** [[Co -Dragons]]: Isohgin, Yadokhan, the best hunters of Eternal

** [[Co -Dragons]], Northa and Klein, the former even being able to become a Dragon and fuse with Northa to be a [[Dragon Lady]]
