    Whenever our favorite digi-destined are trying to save the world, these evil viruses and scumbags are usually there to get in the way. For this list we're looking at all digimon series, including the original digital Monsters, adventure, Tri, Savers, Tamers, Appli-Mon, Fusion, Xros, The Movie, and many more to find which of these dastardly digimon gave our heroes the most trouble. Will favorites like Piedmon, Ken Ichijou the Digimon Emperor, Lilithmon, Machindramon, Etemon, Cherubimon, Diaboromon, and more appear? Only one way to find out.

      Like for example after Leomon was killed Jerry went into an intense episode of depression that spanned several episodes eventually having that void in her filled by darkness. As a kid seeing that type of dark depression experienced by Jerry was hard to process. Come to think of it several characters had depressive episodes like Matt, Black War Greymon, Cari, and Ken. All seeking to have a purpose and all falling into a nihilist void when they couldn't find it

      Yeah, I can see why Myotismon outdoes Piedmon though.
      Myotismon had a lot of attention dedicated to him (including Season 02) and thus we got to see his power, his cunning, his cold-heartedness and evil, and how he was a true threat to the Chosen Children / Digi-Destined and both the real world and Digital World.
      Piedmon may have been a much stronger antagonist by comparison, but attention had to be widely split between him and the other three Dark Masters and it didn't really feel like we got to see a whole lot more to him BESIDES his general power whereas we got to see at least a bit of cunning, strategy, evil, etc. from the other three Dark Masters (killing their subordinates or allies of the Chosen Children, for example).

    Aw man, I *loved* the D-Reaper so much. It seems like the most realistic depiction of a digital threat that also poses a major threat in the real world. It also carried a lot of dramatic weight with it, capturing Jeri and Calumon, and forcing the original Digital Monster coders back together to find a solution. It had some serious scope.

  • @ShadowSkyX
    @ShadowSkyX Před 7 lety +106

    I feel like D-Reaper should be higher on the list. it's simplicity in mindset made it scary. it fucked with their emotions: hell its humanoid form has similarities to Jerry (its hair and side ponytail; didnt even notice this for years til someone on youtube pointed it out). it made an empty doll that passed off as her for some episodes, it's lack of emotion being seen as Jerry being "broken" to a point Takoto admits his true feelings for her...but being a fake doll that only looks like Jerry, his words and feelings mean nothing to it; and the only response to his emotional speech is her reading off the nutrient facts on the back of the lunch box. just a _teensy_ bit unsettling.
    you couldn't reason with it. you couldn't change it's mind no matter how much you kept trying to prove it's view about humans was wrong. it messed with Jerry's emotions, feeding on her despair and thereby prolonging her grief from losing Leomon, forced her to remember the loss of her mother and capitalizing on her hidden fears of being alone, her loved ones taken away from her too soon when she could do nothing to prevent or stop it.
    and this started by Beelzemon's hand no less; whom by the way is the only one to kill off a main character. granted Leomon showed up later in the season, but he became part of the main cast, so I feel Beelzemon should've been a little higher on the list for that as well. that and his action made a big impact afterwards, _on _*_everyone there_*_, including himself_ . not for one episode of angst or mild sadness that could be erased with a few uplifting words, but for the remainder of the season, which still had more than 10 episodes to go at that point.
    I agree on number 1 being myotismon. poor oekalwa, I always cried with him at the end; his life long dream was to go to the digital world...and while he so close to achieving it, he never gets to physically transverse through it like the other digidestined. ever.
    the Dark Masters pushed the team to it's limits, but Piedmon actually whittled them down to the two youngest kids and came so close to beating everyone for real. later against apocolomon I'd like to think their tags and crests acted as backup storage, storing the data, memory, etc of each individual and their respective partner and all their digivolutions, including what each kid represented. in effect the kids were in the trash, but like some corrupted (infected) files, they reappeared, restored where they last were no matter how times you try to delete it.

    What made Myotismon truly merciless was his possession of Yukio Oikawa. He ruthlessly took over and manipulated a grieving man and turned him into little more than a slave, causing all sorts of havoc across both worlds, all the while unknowing of the dark force that caused him to commit the following acts of cruelty:
    1. Manipulating Ken following his brother's demise.
    2. Child abduction.
    3. Blatantly breaking the barriers between of plains of existence.
    4. Murder.
    5. Torture.
    6. Declaring war.
    And so much more. The fact that Oikawa was taken advantage of is what really irks me. Grieving and depressed people are the most vulnerable and easiest to control. Myotismon took a vulnerable person and made him commit a laundry list of atrocities for the digital Dracula's own insane ambitions, tossing him out like trash when he was done with him.

      Well, S4 was tied with 02 for 2nd last place with 50 episodes, with Saver's claiming last place with 48. For reference, 01 had 54, and Tamers had 51.Spoilers for Frontier below:
      As much as I adore Frontier (was the Season I watched the most on morning TV, I liked the humans becoming the digimon thing, I liked the character relations and development), I think it felt longer because it had so much filler in the 2nd half.
      1st half had 1 episode dedicated to a Spirit, and there was plenty of story set up to dedicate episodes to. Then the 2nd half of the season, majority of the episodes were the DigiDestined chasing after the Royal Knights and having their asses handed to them; although eventually story kicks in, being that the DigiDestined being human, they are able to grow naturally and become stronger, whereas the Royal Knights (being Data) can only grow following the laws of the Digital World - data absorption and powering up.

    Kurata to me in the best villain in the entire franchise, that guy was just pure nuts. He literally killed Digimon and took down some of the most powerful ones at that, put a bomb necklace around Thomas's sister's neck just to make Thomas cooperate with him. At the end he even almost caused the destruction of both worlds by ripping a hole through the space-time continuum. He really proved why us humans are the worst type of monsters in the universe.

    Yes, Myotismon/Vamdemon is probably the biggest threat the “DigiDestined” faced in the anime series, but EVERY true Digimon fan knows the 1# spot goes to Millenniumon. He’s essentially a time-travelling God and is responsible for the events of Adventure 1 & 2, and to a lesser extent is present in Tamers as well. He’s the true antagonist and source of all evil, and has one of the most convoluted but intricate storylines of any villain in the franchise.

    I would never call BlackWarGreymon a villain. He was confused about his origin and purpose and identity. He was born from and for chaos and destruction and didn't know what else he could use to define himself while still searching for just that, something to define him beyond destruction. I honestly found him the more appealing of the two WarGreymons. Sure Tai's is a lovable goof while in Rookie form and a badass warrior for justice when in Mega but he always knew what/who he was and what his purpose for being was. The fact the BlackWarGreymon had to uncover that really hits home.
    Also it's funny that while you can't argue that Beelzemon was a bad guy, he's still got to be, probably, one of the most loved digimon the franchise has. Seriously, the guys design, origin and basic thing of being a demon lord should make him an unrepentant villain but he's so well written and he stole hearts as Impmon and Beelzemon that I think a digimon series did cast him as one, they would get so much hate they would never recover.
