Oh yeah, those two seem like they might be valid keeps - the High Priestess moreso since she's not just a one episode character (we're apparently going to be hearing from her one more time in the series finale and I shudder to think what the context for that might be). Aku has done the most widespread evil deeds and has even gotten to kill characters on-screen (poor Scottsman) but not only is his moral agency questionable and he gets [[Played for Laughs]] often, but he's actually semi-sympathetic this season with how he's had his own midlife crisis [[Not So Different]] from Jack's internal crisis, so he's still easily a non-example. These two, on the other hand, have agency entirely of their own choosing, are played dead seriously, and do horrible things that stand out from what regularly comes up on this show, all with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
