truth

The Minions of Set are in Mid Tier yah fabric

How exactly does Da Samoorai fit that description?

>>92696601
he was the first to stand against black oppression

>>92696658

He shoo cut up dem jive turkeys

>>92696540
Aku should be bottom since is literally an incarnation of evil.

>>92696540
>Ranking villains purely in terms of their motives
Baffles me to no end that people still use this format for their tier lists.

>>92696775
but he doesn't exactly want power, he just finds torturing people amusing

>>92696540
Ghost jack was never a villain desu

He dindu nuffin

>>92697016
Yes he does. He tortures people because he already has all the power in the world, he has nothing else left to conquer. Even if he doesn't simply want power, I'd never say his motives were a mystery or insane.

>>92697016
If he didn't want power he wouldn't have conquered the galaxy. Plus, being evil because torture "amuses" him is the same as being "just evil" in Aku's case. It's not like he can't help himself.

>>92696775
Given that he is the embodiment, shouldn't he be mid tier?

As the embodiment of evil, doing evil IS his nature

>Motive ranking list
>muh gray Morality bullshit is at the top

>>92696540
I've always hated shit like this. It doesn't matter what "category" a character falls into, all that matters is whether they're written well. All of the Antagonists in Tolkien's work would fall under shit tier, but his stories changed the face of literature.

>>92697016
Aku meets all "Shit Tier" criteria. There is no mystery to why he is a villain. He is the textbook definition of "being evil because whatever".

I tried to figure out where Scaramouche would fit in on here and realized this pic is shit
It misses the type of villains who are technically doing something terrible for survival but are still enjoying the pain they inflict on others while doing so
Quite frankly, I think Demongo is the same deal because it's not like he was super sorrowful about absorbing all those souls

>it's an OP thinks grey morality is objectively the best writing style episode

How's high school?

>>92697193
Mid-tier would also mean he needs to be evil to survive, which is not the case.

as far as actually ranking villains goes, it's still far from perfect, but at least it looks like the original pic now

>>92696540
>Villains being villains becuase fuck it being evil is the shit
>being Shit Tier

This list is officially garbage, considering you just lumped Aku and the recent Black Hat onto that list as "shit".

Also, lusting for power is very different from being evil for the sake of being evil

>>92696540
>Great tier, High tier, Mid tier, are literally dindu reasoning.

>>92696540
Almost all of these are miscategorized or simply don't fit in this chart. Shit thread.

still bump tho

>>92696540
>Aku that low
>when he's literally the best
>mad jack on top
>dindu reasonings to be evil
>not being evil and loving it
this list is objectively wrong

you are forgeting something

>>92698039
How the fuck was the High Priestess retaliating against anything? Changing society? She wanted Aku's Order to stay the way it was

If anything she belongs somewhere in-between Mid to Shit Tier

The black all consuming mass of evil was technically crippled as a threat when it gained consciousness and became Aku. Aku cares too much about his amusement to effectively spread evil 24/7 like the mass which would have just kept expanding without thought.

House demon falls under mid tier though.
>>92698039
And forest spirit is good not evil. She was inspiring Jack to keep fighting. Never relent.
And Aku shit tier? Get that shit outta here.

>>92700320
She believed Jack was evil. That the world's beauty was from Aku.

>>92697193
>Villains who are just evil

>>92700414
>And forest spirit is good not evil. She was inspiring Jack to keep fighting. Never relent.
That's headcanons stuff. We don't know her motivation for sure, so she fits there.
>And Aku shit tier? Get that shit outta here.
I edited the pic more to represent the archetypes of SJ's villains than to rank them in some way. Didn't bother erasing the 'tiers'.
>>92700320
I put her in there because she was a fanatical type of villain, and I assume this category is supposed to include those, too.

>>92696540
Wait, what's wrong with lusting for power?

Now do the same with this

>the "good" tiers are all moralfag shit

>>92700464
You sure she actually believed that, and that it wasn't just propaganda so the kids would fall in line?

I mean Aku doesn't even hide how evil he is a little. I'm sure every half-functioning adult with a brain stem knows how evil he is.
