That the best, most efficient villains are usually very weak compared to their heroic counterparts.
For example

Black Zetsu. Undeniably weak. Nothing compared to Orochimaru, Pain, Obito, and Madara.
Yet he was the only one at the top. Orochimaru never reached his ultimate goal, and the other three were pawns in Black Zetsu's game. And finally, after 1000 years, after all his lies, his grand plan came to fruition and Kaguya was revived.

The Major, from Hellsing Ultimate. In my eyes, a perfect villain. Bloodthirsty, maniacal, The Major is the leader of Millennium, a group of one thousand vampirized Waffen SS veterans. Nazis. His goal, to obliterate London in a magnificent war.
Mission accomplished.
Another goal, to erase the vampire Alucard from existence. Mission slightly accomplished

The Joker and Lex Luthor. Quite possibly the most infamous of villains, could be snapped like twigs by Batman and Superman. But, it's their intelligence, cunning, and exploitation of their adversaries' morals that let them see another day. Usually.

A villain doesn't need power to be incredible, and it's always great to see those types of characters.

The best villains are the most.... villainous. Naruto doesn't really have a lot of villainous villains

A villain just needs to be smart and have a good opposite the hero. Strength can be overcome with cunning

Sorry, bud, but your thread failed when you put BZ above Orochimaru as a villain in any shape or form.

That retcon is black semen fodder.

He actually accomplished his main goal, manipulating every main villain

Eh. I feel as if there's more to Black Zetsu than what meets the eye. Seems like he's a puppet to.

Black Zetsu is the mastermind of the greatest manipulation in Naruto, but okay.

The heroes take pitty.


Furthermore, it just makes the hero more credible. And makes you realize, that those who have the power to make peace, always have the power to make bigger wars than "villains".

The greatest retcon too. His goals and motives are almost as god awful as Obito's.

I'm sorry you don't like Black Zetsu and think that he's a retcon, doesn't change that he was the only villain to be at the top.

Because God forbid a villain would be more cunning and intelligent than a hero.

I actually kind of always liked black zetsu and Kaguya
I thought madara and obito were just going to control the juubi and that the juubi wasn't going to do anything about it
Come to find out before Kaguya got sealed she made black zetsu to revive her
Madara formed akatsuki thinking he will use the juubi but the whole time he,in a way,was being used by the juubi

I honestly don't see how BZ's a villain...

Seemed like nothing more than Kaguya's bish.

BZ's not in the league of the villains you equated him to, especially not the Joker.

If you don't see how the guy responsible for Infinite Tsukuyomi and resurrecting his demonic creator to destroy the world is a villain then there is nothing I can do to convince you otherwise.
