Magnificent Bastard/Anime/Digimon: Difference between revisions

* Lucemon, leader of the Seven Great Demon Lords who embodies the sin of Pride, frequently walks the fine line between this trope and a [[Smug Snake]] in his various appearances throughout [[Digimon|the franchise]]. His appearance in ''[[Digimon Xros Wars|Fusion]]'' is particularly magnificent; a citizen of the Heaven Zone, Lucemon campaigns to be elected the Zone's next leader who, if elected, would embrace love and mercy as a policy as contrast to GuardiAngemon's extreme justice. When the Fusion Fighters are wrongfully accused of a crime and threatened with execution, Lucemon pleads for clemency to both them and the real culprit, Cupimon, and voices the importance of allowing citizens to speak for themselves, getting him popular support among those in the Heaven Zone. But once he's won and is to be crowned, he returns to his true self - an ally to the Bagra Empire and fellow Demon Lord Laylamon - and rips the zone in two, revealing the temple that holds the Code Crown and trapping it in a giant sphere of darkness. Even when it looks like Lucemon has been beaten, he survives the attack and returns to kidnap Nene just as she's transmitting the dark sphere's power to AxeKnightmon, making him an unexpected thorn in even AxeKnightmon's side.

* [[Digimon|The franchise's]] greatest example would be Millenniummon, since unlike all the others he ultimately achieved what it wanted: {{spoiler|to become Ryo's Partner even though he would have also liked to start conquering the [[Multiverse]] immediately (note that he can wait for it anyway)}}. His actions led to nearly '''everything''' that went wrong with ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'' and ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]'' (including those of the ones mentioned above), but because he managed to remain undetected and completely out of reach he became [[The Unfought]]. He also succeeded in '''[[Timey-Wimey Ball|creating himself]]''' without being noticed by an ''omniscient'' being. Details can be found in the [[Digimon/Recap/Wonder Swan Games|series synopsis page]].
