Best to Worst Main Villains

[Darkakatsuki]

1 - Obito - When he was Tobi he was EVIL! This guy murdered his own sensei and destroyed his clan. He had no He's also extremely intelligent, very calculating, and he knows exactly how to play with others emotions to fit his goals. Such as how he used the power of Madara's name to it's full extent. Playing with the everyone fears to lure the shinobi world into a war. What's also really interesting about him is who he started out as. His goofy facade was also pretty funny, I had a feeling that wasn't his real personality but it was kind of surprising to see how intelligent he actually was.

2 - Kabuto - Like Obito he's also really intelligent and calculating. I also like how he acts friendly towards his enemies. Such as when he was telling Naruto he wants to be just like him and showed him his Orochimaru DNA. That was some freaky shit. Or when he tried to manipulate Sasuke by being nice to him and calling him a brother. Also like Obito, while he was strong before it was kind of surprising to see how far he gone in the War arc, being able to control all those edos. If it wasn't for him Obito would have most likely lost. Especially without Edo Madara.

3 - Orochimaru - The original main villain of the series and arguably the most twisted. He gives the mad scientist sterotype a new meaning. This guy kills people and then disguises himself in their BODIES. He'll do anything to achieve his goal of learning every jutsu in the world. Another thing that's twisted about him is that he preys on rogue children and uses their desire for acceptance to turn them into undying slaves. Just look at what he did to Kimimaro...

4 - Madara - He's definatly calculating due to everything he planned out but he's also kind of arrogant. His habit of talking about how everyone is so inferior compared to him and Hashirama can get annoying, however on the rare occasions when a character is able to fight on par with him it's funny to see his reaction such as in 8th Gate Gai vs Juudara. But nonetheless he's still a good villain. In fact the chapter he appeared in when we found out the coffin Kabuto used to scare Obito was him is where I started reading the manga. He was so badass in his introduction chapters. I was on the edge of my seat wondering how they were going to defeat him.

5 - Pain - He's this low because not much of a planner like the characters above him, but he did manage to kill Jiraya which gave some character development to Naruto. He also was a pretty sucessful leader for Akatsuki and knows how to make the most of his powers by putting each of the paths into dead corpses.

6 - Sasuke - He comes off more as a delusional manchild than a smart calculating villain. He's motives constantly switch and most of his plans don't even make sense. Unlike Obito and Madara, he actually knows what caused the Uchiha's curse of hate but still thinks that being a ruthless dictator is good for the ninja world. Get your "revolution" nonsense out of here.

7 - Kaguya - AWFUL! TERRIBLE! HORRID! Why you may ask? Well for one, her introduction was incredibly forced. There was no foreshadowing. I mean how is you going to introduce such a major villain near the end of the manga like that? All we have of foreshadowing of Hagoromo's one line about power corrupting her. Sasuke might be an awful antagonist but at least it was hinted from the begining that he was going to be the final villain. She was also pretty underwhelming. Kaguya being distracted and slapped by Secy Jutsu? That's hilarious.

It seems to be me like you ranked the people based on their peak level rather than overall, as in, you didn't factor in how they 'ended' up in your analysis. In that respect, I agree wholeheartedly with your list. But if you factored in how they ended up then Obito can't possibly be up there, he is the one who actually ended up a 'man child' as you describe Sasuke with all that doing all this over a girl, throwing away close to twenty years of work and preparation over a loud mouth kid's screaming at him, switching sides like deceitful woman sleeping with the enemy, making sure he dies coz 'he wants to get to Rin before Kakashi' etc etc. You also, if we consider again how the villains ended up than Kaguya can't possibly stay last because she still has TRUE villain traits, she has power in abundance, she is greedy and power hungry, she is evil enough and jealous enough to try to kill her sons and their descendents for power, and most importantly, she is the only Villain in the series, Madara aside, who never, even for a second, wavered in her convictions and stayed a villain to the end. I'm not saying she is the best character or had the best character development, coz she didn't, but in terms of true Villainy, she is by far the truest Villain in the series, even Orochimaru lost his convictions and became one of Sasuke's lackeys.

I'm judging them kind of overall by skills, strategy, planning, character depth, etc. But mostly off their peak like you just said. Obito's turned to the dark side goes further than simply "over a girl" like you said. He was also brainwashed by Madara's nihilistic speeches. Rin was the closest person he had to as family and Kakashi failing to keep his promise confirmed Madara's views.

True Kaguya is one of the few villains to stay evil but it doesn't really matter because she had no depth or even an interesting personality to begin with. And like I said in the OP there was no foreshadowing about her villainy.

Kabuto above Pain? Come on now dawg, this list is just...smh. Kabuto should lose some bad guy points for being unoriginal, he was an Orochimaru knock-off.

Yeah he did want to copy Orochimaru but he knew just how to utilize Orochimaru's cells to accomplish his goals such as when he was controlling his edo army.

What about black zetsu or Haku?...

Black Zetsu is Kaguya's minion, and Haku isn't a main villain.

0. Masked Tobi






1. Madara
2. Obito
3. Pain
4. Sasuke (would be 5 if he didn't save the manga a few days ago)
5. Orochimaru
6. Kabuto



























7. Kaguya

IMO, there isn't that much between the first 6 (except maybe Kabuto) and they're all good villains at the very least. The only villain that was truly shit was Kaguya.

Obito was good until he implied he did this whole war just to be with a 13 year old girl.
