Discussion Favorite One Piece Villain

[TitaniumOxide]

Hey everyone, I am bored as hell during this Coronavirus lockdown so I decided to make this thread to see who's everyone's favorite villain is.

My favorite so far has to be Charlotte Katakuri. He might be a villain but my reasons are pretty obvious...

1. He is honorable, to his enemies as well as people he care about
2. One of the strongest characters of One Piece
3. Cool design and powers
4. Reminds me of Zoro (more than Kaido from that he is Kaido's son theory) who happen to be my #1 One Piece character...

There's plenty more reasons and even more that makes him a villain however Oda has humanized him into a way for me that allows him to the spot of my favorite One Piece villain thus far. I used to think Crocodile was my favorite villain but Oda just keep introducing great characters. Katakuri definitely deserves the title for me.

Also, let's refrain from shitting on people's favorites because you disagree with the opinion. Don't need any Sanji vs Zoro type bullshit here.

Oda is great in making villains in my opinion. Buggy is funny, Crocodille is badass, Enel is pretty cool, Lucci is a monster (at that time) Akainu and BB are goods villains to be defeated in the final of the story, I like BM and Kaido... Seriously, I think it’s pretty difficult to chose only one villain. Just to the sake of the post, I chose Doffy and Orochi. They are truly villains. Bad for the sake of being bad. Raised wanting to destroy their world, doing everything they can to achieve what they want

Blackbeard. He's a different type of villain that usually found in a Shonen manga. He's smart, but not super smart. He is calculating, but also leaves things to chance. He's strong as hell, but he cries out in agony during fights. He is patient. He's just such an interesting villain.

Akainu because he's a freakin' psychopath, but he also walks the walk fearlessly.
Lucci too. They're both probably the most serious villains I've seen in this manga so far. Katakuri would be here, but he just doesn't feel like a villain to me as much as an antagonist for an arc.

Akainu... (do we consider him a villain though?)
Magellan.. (again.. a villain?)

Depends on how you view the word. If it's just "people that were against Luffy", than yes to Magellan. If it's "people who are evil", than no to Magellan.

Akainu is yes on both counts. He destroyed a boat filled with innocent civilians "just in case" there was a scholar hiding on board. Dude is a fascist.

Mine is Cesar Clown he was just so funny

Well i just thought that akainu is only a soldier.. the villain is the higher above, the one who give order..

Mine is Cesar Clown he was just so funny

Welp i forget about him.. i also like cesar.. which ever pirates crew who took him will have an advantage.. is he join bege or not i cant remember..

Akainu; ruthless, trash talking arsehole but he's strong enough to back up his words. I despised him after the Ohara Incident and I didn't think it could get worse, then the war happened. He's one of the best written characters in the series. Really love to hate him.

After him it's Rob Lucci. They could be brothers. Very similar characters with almost singular focus to their cause. Absolute Justice; or in Lucci's case...Dark Justice.

Not all antagonists are villains but all villains are antagonists.

Akainu was about to kill Coby for saying some emotional human stuff. One of his own. The dude is ruthless. He kind of reminds me of... Doflamingo or Kaido just on the other side of the coin what with being in the marines and all.

Akainu... (do we consider him a villain though?)
Magellan.. (again.. a villain?)

Yes, as Luffy's the hero, and Akainu's done horrible stuff in the name of justice. Luffy's a good guy, but he still wants to kill Luffy and did not bat an eye at killing his own soldiers and innocent people of Ohara.

Magellan is unknown, but he was more of an antagonist IMO just doing his job.

Crocodile, easily... the coolest and i'd argue way tougher than his bounty reveals..

Bounties escalated out of control. If the Shichibukai bounties were revealed only now, Crocodile would be 500,000,000

I'm gonna try to mod my own thread and ask you all to stay on topic before we get bounty battles on the scale of Sanji vs Zoro battles. If the person is your favorite villain, bounties may not matter. Fox666 who's your favorite One Piece Villain?

 

[Fox666]

There are plenty of villains I like A LOT, Crocodile, Blackbeard, the Admirals, Lucci, Moriah, Sentoumaru, Doflamingo, Hawkins

If I had to pick one, I would pick the Admirals (as a group)

Akainu because he's a freakin' psychopath, but he also walks the walk fearlessly.
Lucci too. They're both probably the most serious villains I've seen in this manga so far. Katakuri would be here, but he just doesn't feel like a villain to me as much as an antagonist for an arc.

Lucci was such a good villain. I'm so glad Oda didn't mothball him forever after his loss, instead he seems to have gotten a promotion to CP0. I'd like to see him fight the SH's again, go after Luffy, but be intercepted by Sanji "you don't get to fight the boss again", and have an epic battle with him.

Two of my favourite arcs are Arlong Park and Water 7/Enies Lobby due to the impact on Nami/Robin's stories which also lead to two of the most epic scenes in the whole series.

For that reason I'd probably have to say Arlong and Lucci (as Spandam himself isn't really the threat of that arc).

 

[nik87]

Sir Crocodile is by far my favorite villain.

 

[Lord Rayleigh]

Sir Crocodile is by far my favorite villain.

Totally agree with you. Some characters were pretty badass and provided incredible fighting scenes (Katakuri, Lucci, Doflamingo), however they cannot compare to Crocodile in terms of leadership and impact in the story line. Crocodile was an independent pirate at the top of his organization, following his own agenda, trying to conquer for himself a WG territory, and interested in ancient weapons and Poneglyphs.

He also stands up as a One Piece vilain as he was introduced at a decisive point in the manga where Luffy had to face for the first time a character labelled as a true accomplished Grand Line Pirate (a Shichibukai) that would be defeated in a saga of multiple arcs and through multiple individual fights.

He clearly embodies better the Pirate by his acts and speeches than Doflamingo or Katakuri who were working under Kaido/Big Mom trying to defend their territories (Dressrosa/Whole Cake) against the SH Pirates. This was confirmed again during Impel Down/Marineford arcs when he came to claim Whitebeard’s head again who said that he never learns = stays a true Pirate before the Yonko despite his perfect knowledge of their power gap.
