[Axels the best 30]

1 master xehanort

2 xemnas

3 marluxia

4 xigbar

5 maleficent

[Felixx 6,646]

Xemnas, cause he got dem lightsabers and the most badass voice.

 

Marluxia is close behind

[The Transcendent Key 12,109]

I'd have to say old man Xehanort himself! He has singlehandedly weaved an intricate web of lies and deceit, and he's dragged down numerous innocent people as a result, as well as put countless worlds in jeopardy! We're talking about a man who risks the very end of the world just out of curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge! If ever there has been a villain that's amazing in this series, it's the old man. He's always been steps and bounds ahead of everyone else, and it's all allowed him to get to this moment in time where he holds most of the pieces on the board! Now it's up to Sora and the others to play catch up and try to surprise him! 

 

Xehanort pulls off badassery like no one's business!

[Shanks0407 34]

While it is unconfirmed if he is a villain or not, I think the Master of Masters would be the best villain in the entire Kingdom Hearts franchise. My reason is because he is a laid-back, happy go-lucky person who acts as a puppetmaster in controlling the way everything should be at his whim. In fact, most of the items he created so far are being used and sought out by villains (Xehanort and Maleficent). Also, the fact that he wears a dark hood, is a clear indication that he is in some way using the power of darkness.

[Jingilator 922]

Xehanort might be a Mary Sue in steroids, but he’s a badass Mary Sue on steroids.

[Mykaila Shakespeare 249]

I've always considered Xemnas to be the best KH villain. I love his composure and patience to obtain his goal. He is not as over-the-top as Ansem Seeker of Darkness. He is also a very well in depth character to which even before Birth By Sleep, there was a story behind it. That, and I personally just consider him a really awesome final boss through and through.

 

I put Marluxia second for....well, being absolutely FABULOUS with all that pink aesthetics, from his hair to his scythe.

 

I give a shout out to Xehanort for being absolutely thorough with his goals. He is honestly a great villain for his master manipulation for mixing together his truths and lies.

[Dracozombie 4,554]

The correct answer is Pete.

[Raynaninja 40]

Xigbar is my favorite.

 

Maleficent is a joke of a villain in Kingdom Hearts.  I wish she would go away to be honest.  I don't even look at her seriously in Sleeping Beauty anymore.

[Ryan Walsh 4]

I'm gonna be blasphemous for saying this but I find Xemnas literally the most boring villain in the entire series.

Really? I found Ansem much more patient and malevolent with a sense of nihilism whereas with Xemnas I could NEVER take him seriously. Boring villain who monologues, constantly pulls of the "WOE IS ME" routine even when they see through him, and Ansem was over the top? what about: "CURSE YOU FOOL!! GUARD!!", not to mention his constant spheil about anger and hate but without showing why he believes anger and hate equals power.

While it isn't 100% confirmed/certain/without a doubt that this guy actually is a villain, I'd say that the shadiness of the Master of Masters, matched with his insanely charismatic personality make him both a delightful and a disturbing presence unlike any other in the series. He's got a certain nonchalance to his grandiose persona, and a lot of little quirks that make him just a really interesting character.

 

Whether he's legitimately a villain, an anti-villain, or an anti-hero, he's a pretty stark contrast to all the Xehanorts. And I say that as a compliment.

[KingdomHearts3 2,591]

The mastermind behind it all Master Xehanort is the best villain of course.

[HaneulWay 92]

all yall 

 

WHACK

 

Gotta give it to the OG, Ansem most presence as a villain and unforgettable quotes:

 

All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it, it grows, consumes it. Such is its nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came. You see, darkness is the heart's true essence.

 

There is so very much to learn. You understand so little."

 

To the heart seeking freedom this island is a prison surrounded by water.

 

Xeha-whaT?

Xem-WHO?

 

You are all dismissed.

[Dave 5,715]

The correct answer is Pete.

 

Did anyone else convert Scar to a Heartless? Nope. That is a mantle that can go to Pete and Pete alone.

[Tyranto Rex 277]

To be honest there's not really any villains in KH that I absolutely adore, I probably like the side villains better than the main ones. Too many Xehanorts.  :tongue:  

 

So I picked Maleficent. Sure she did get downgraded quite a lot in KH2 but she was still great in the first and maybe someday she could reach that greatness again? One could hope.

 

If I had to pick an original villain, it would have to be Marluxia. He's pretty unique in both design and motive. Plus, he's not part Xehanort and hopefully he remains that way. Larxene was also extremely fun to watch. She's not in the poll but I enjoyed her. Xigbar can be pretty fun and memorable. 

 

Now if the Master becomes a villain he could very easily become my favorite. I feel like he could be very hilarious but also threatening and it would be nice to have a villain like that. Kinda like Deadpool/Loki? I don't know who to compare him to.

Xigbar. The man has been through everything.

Xemnas! He throws buildings, his weapons are too cool, and his voice is just too awesome

Marluxia is close behind

Xemnas, because he is forbiddenly sexy, has an epic voice, is calm and he has a very profound treasury of words. I also like his fighting style.

[ocean's rage 772]

id say xemnas and ansem, they have some of the best dialogue 

[Dustin Lübbers 933]

I took maleficent (KH1 version) because she was the most classic villian allthough I find the "ansem truly is evil" to this day one of the best unexpected twists ever

if he is a villian than It would make it all the more painfull! Come on the bad guys already got xigbar we need our own witty guy always with a joke ready

 

The correct answer is Pete.

 

after seeing so much crazy stuff in Kingdom hearts in completly believe that tit is possible that he is the evil overlord behind it all

 

Xemnas! He throws buildings, his weapons are too cool, and his voice is just too awesome

 

he can compete with the epic trailer voice guy

[Joey_XIII 135]

Xemnas is my favorite. The dialogues, gestures and he deals with everything so smoothly and calmly, AND Paul St. Peter voices him sooo good!

[SpiritofVengeance 48]

I have to pick Maleficent of course because she is one the best villains ever in my opinion.

Yeah, I understand what you mean. I think that Maleficent was definitely at her fiercest in the first Kingdom Hearts!

 

Lol, yeah, no kidding! Master Xehanort really is one cunning old geezer! His planning sure is something else!

[Dagesh Lene 366]

Personally, my favorite villain in Kingdom Hearts in Ansem, Seeker of Darkness.  He has my personal favorite design of all of the villains in the series, he has my favorite boss fight in the entire series (the final boss fight of KH1), and I just really like everything he does as a villain.  Don't get me wrong, I think that there a lot of other villains in the series who are better than him (I actually think that Xemnas is the best villain in the series).  However, best and favorite are not always the same thing, and Ansem is still my favorite.
