Badass Villains

[Chaotic Phoenix]

Ah, Kefka. I love that nihilistic psychotic bastard!

I'd say Kira from Death Note's pretty badass. The scary thing about him is that he's just a normal guy, albeit smarter and a lot more sly than an average person. He shows that if given the power and the means to, anyone could choose to be evil, despite it being for a noble or justified cause. Also, exaggerated, melodramatic strokes while writing + epic orchestral music and Latin chanting equals WIN. Oh, and he has the Death Note too. It can kill and stuff.

Kefka is pretty badass now that I think about it, with the way he did things.

But one that I think that keep missing the list is Van Grants, from Tales of the Abyss. Even though he believed he was doing right by 'destroying the Score by destroying the world and replicating it', he does succeed in a way, forcing Luke and the crew to lower the Upper Lands down into the poisonous Quiphoth. Aside form that, he does what he does without worry or concern, and even proves it even more when he absorbed the consciousness of the Seventh Element (Fonon) Class, Lorelei, something he should have died from when that happened...

Also, it's not Kira. His real name is Light Yagami. Just thought I would add that.
