Five-Bad Band/Anime: Difference between revisions

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

** [[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.

** [[The Evil Genius]] - [[Only Sane Man|Sting Oakley]]: The ''de facto'' leader of the Extended trio, Sting's no genius, but is the only member of the team to [[Know When to Fold'Em]], and fullfills [[The Smart Guy]] role by making sure the other two stick to the plan.

** [[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.

* ''[[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 Brute]] - [[The Berserker|Shinn Asuka]] He's of a more [[Hero with an F In Good|heroic]] bent then most, but still fits the profile: lack of subtlety, emotional, easily controlled by [[The Dragon]], allows [[Unstoppable Rage|rage]] to cloud his reasoning.

** [[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).

* Schwarz from ''[[Mai-Otome]]''

** [[Big Bad|The Big Bad]] - Nagi

** [[Evil Genius|The Evil Genius]] - John Smith

** [[The Brute]] and [[Dark Chick|The Dark Chick]] - Tomoe

** [[Hero Secret Service|Villain Secret Service]] - the other three [[Dark Magical Girl|Valkyries]] (Lee, Nobue and Jeanne by name). {{spoiler|All three are convinced to [[Heel Face Turn]] when Mashiro tells them that they have a bigger enemy to fight. Their boss vehemently refuses to turn, leaving her all alone on the side of bad.}}

** [[The Dragon]] - Either [[Hero-Killer|Cypha]] (the most dangerous in battle so far) or Fortis (see [[The Evil Genius]] below).

*** [[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]].
