25. Kuja (Final Fantasy IX)
Nominated by pyresword
Mwahaha... So the curtain rises! Perfect, my canary. Let me show you the truth about your mother! First Act: The End of Ugly Desire. It's showtime!

After Sephiroth became so ravenously popular, I guess Square decided they would make an even more bishie antagonist for the next Final Fantasy game. (Well, next after FFVIII.) Kuja is effeminate and pretty, offering a delightful challenge to legions of insecure gamers to confront their toxic masculinity and oh wait hes the bad guy, yeah I guess theyll just delight in beating him up instead.

A nobleman and adviser to Queen Brahne, Kuja does not wear pants. Hes a narcissist who cant fathom the world existing without him, so, like any self-respecting JRPG villain, he decides to take down the whole world with him. He contrasts with Zidane, who acts goofy but has a big heart and is steadfast and loyal; Kuja only cares for himself and uses and manipulates others. Zidane puts the needs of his friends and the world over his own needs; Kuja, when he learns hes mortal, throws a tantrum and tries to blow everything up.

Kujas life is in some respects a tragedy. He was created to be a weapon of mass destruction, but he wasnt given the tools needed to succeed at that goal. He filled his underdeveloped heart with hate and turned that hate outward. He would have really benefited from some Oprah. Also maybe a pair of khakis or something.
