From a story standpoint?

I mean he was the "leader" of the Akatsuki, the organization hunting Naruto.
He demolished Konoha, Naruto's home.
He killed Jiraiya, the closest thing Naruto had to a father.
He killed Kakashi, Naruto's sensei and one of the most important people in his life
He murdered Hinata right in front of Naruto's eyes.
And all the while, he was an Uzumaki and a student of Jiraiya. Naruto and Pain had a very close bond, but couldn't have been worse enemies.

Plus, he's a *cant use a no no word because the mods will delete my thread* badass.

I personally think Pain was the greatest villain from a story standpoint.

No other villain has made me shed a tear, but I did during that scene.

Pein was pretty cool but wasn't this same exact thread made earlier? I mean, the title that is. I thought I saw this same title earlier.

Major villain wise, i'd say he's arguably the best.

Hell No. Madara Uchiha all the way man.

Also, why do you not say Nagato but pein? Pein was a dead body. o-o.

yes he "was" then he went and regretted his actions and negated everything he did during his invasion with that absurd jutsu

He was totally my fav villan until he got tnj'd.....its just my opinion but I belive a good villan has to be commited to his convictions. Letting sentimental words bowl you over just isn't very villaness in my opinion.

Pain was indeed an epic villain, but only the best of the shipuuden. a lot of part 1 villains were pretty epic...

Pain was my favorite, and his redemption made sense since he and Naruto had the same teacher and similar ideals at one point. Maybe the whole "revive everyone" thing was a little of a wtf but yeah he was a good one

Madara and Orochimaru are better villains imo.

Hiruzen stated that Orochimaru transformed from human to demon. Orochimaru all the way. Pain comes 2nd imo.
