DK is not known for being a villain. By that logic Mario could be there as well as he was the villian in Donkey Kong

DK was the toughest choice of the bracket for me. On the one hand, the old, villainous DK of the arcade games and their Game Boy successor is clearly now called Cranky Kong in the canon. On the other hand, DK has the whole, relatively contemporary Mario vs. Donkey Kong series in which he's still the main villain, which I ultimately decided was enough to qualify.

Pretty good bracket! Here's some further considerations:

Jenova(Final Fantasy 7)
Seymour(Final Fantasy 10)
Kuja(Final Fantasy 9)
Arthas(World of Warcraft)
Boo(Mario Party Games)
Andross(Star Fox 64)
Asgore(Undertale)
Muffet(Undertale)
Monika(Doki Doki Literature Club)
Asch(Tales of the Abyss)

Thank you for the kind words! Ultimately, I excluded a lot of these characters due to lack of room, and Monika would also be spoilers for the people who haven't played DDLC yet (including me, but hey, I already knew regardless!). That being said, I decided on Illidan over Arthas because Arthas has already been in multiple contests as an individual entrant. Kuja is also tucked into the bracket, as the 10 seed in a first-round match against Blue.
