Line 31:
** ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'' has a [[Big Bad Ensemble]] of [[Complete Monster|Lord Djibril]] and [[Dark Messiah|Gilbert Durandal]]. Both have more than enough resources (and [[Axe Crazy|madness]]/[[Manipulative Bastard|manipulative ability]]) to make up for their lack of frontline combat skills, with Djibril heading a world-wide network of hate-groups, and Durandal as ZAFT's new [[President Evil]].
** Chancellor Wong in ''[[G Gundam]]'' is the bad guy in the second act- he's super manipulative (he even has literal chess-pieces in the shape of the Gundams), is the De-Facto leader of everything and even holds control over [[Old Master|Master]] [[Rated "M" for Manly|Asia]]... However, he hardly stands up from his floaty chair, only sets up fights for Domon, and has an [[Death Note|L]]-Level sweet tooth. Surface to say, {{spoiler|He's almost vaporized by collateral damage, and when he actually gets in a Gundam, he lasts all of two minutes. And most of those two minutes are spent talking.}}
* ''[[The Rising of the Shield Hero]]'' has many major antagonists who are non-combatants:
** Zigzagged with [[Sinister Minister|Pope Bisca T. Balmus]]. Despite looking like a weak old man, he was able to fight, but ''only'' because he had replicas of the four cardinal weapons. Without these replicas (or without the prayer of a near-army of followers to supply the astronomical amount of mana required to fuel them), he is exactly what he appears to be - a weak old man.
** Malty Melromarc. Not quite the Big Bad but clearly one of the most hated of villains in anime, she is the result of a [[Spoiled Brat]] and [[Rich Bitch]] gaining actual influence in government. As in, she cannot fight worth squat, turning into a [[Dirty Coward]] shamelessly pleading for her life the moment the situation turns against her.
** More competent than Malty is her father King Aultcray. He does have an impressive history as a general when he was younger, but is now and old man and has let his martial skills wane.
