    Captain LeFwee made for an interesting villain in Sly 3. He was the only bad guy to not have a devoted animated cutscene talking about him, so he had a lot of ground to make up for in character development. How does he develop this character?
    By having his first cutscene being pushing his first mate off the side of his fortress to his death, promoting second mate to replace him, and then going down to his dungeon to torture the prisoners.
    He also goes by the title "Smartest man on the seven seas" and yes, while he does have the best ship and the biggest crew, it turns out trying to outwit him is a very harsh challenge, even for as old fashioned as he is, able to predict one step ahead of his opponents.

      I was also going to mention LeFwee! He broke this stigma I personally had that pirates are nothing but sword-swinging, rum-guzzling, gunpowder-loving robbers who live just to raise hell and amass tons of loot. LeFwee is pretty damn smart in his field as he immediately throws a curveball at you taking one of your crew members hostage when you least expect it, and he's pretty formidable against the heroes in how prepared he was in the heist that took place later on. If you can rival Bentley, the smarty pants who almost has a way out for anything, you high up in the world of Sly Cooper as their best villains. He's pretty at what he does as a villain considering we know what Clockwork and Neyla are capable of.

      And yet, he ain’t exactly the *best* at actual swordplay, considering a more than likely utter noob like Penelope can utter whoop his ass and send him plummeting to the sea below because he keeps pausing to leave himself wide open.

      This is the man that lets Sly think he slipped up into revealing Penelope’s location, resulting Sly into going right into and running around the pirate infested town of Blood Bath Bay who are all immediately gunning and shooting at him. Sly thinks he has found Penelope but is wrong, admits that LeFwee is much better than he gave him credit for and is seemingly blown up. LeFwee still believes that he has the upper hand by blasting the masts of the ship that The Cooper Gang stole up until he is lured into deeper water by Bentley

    Honorable mention from me is Eizen from Tales of Berseria.
    A pirate who's also an Earth Malak (Angelic like being), who carries a curse called the Reaper's Curse which spreads misfortune, however he's all about being your own individual and deciding your own path in life, which is in part why he became a pirate because his future captain Aifread joked about a malak becoming a pirate but Eizen decide to make it a reality.
    At the same time he's great older brother to his little sister and a big brother figure to everyone else, who also believes that everyone should have the freedom to decide their own path in life.
    And on top of that, he does this knowing his time is limited because thanks to the Reaper's Curse, one day he will encounter misfortune he cannot overcome, but that's not gonna stop him from experiencing life to the fullest!

      Yeah I only got the original, my brother got it originally on the DC all of those years ago (has it really been 20 years, sheesh), He ended up giving the DC and it's games to me because I enjoyed them more. I actually played SoA and Grandia 2 on it so much I broke the console (much to my heartbreak), but then in the early 2010s, I was able to buy another DC at my local comic con (biggest impulse buy of my life for I wasn't expecting to be there), and I am so careful playing on it now, but omg, it felt amazing to replay the game again. Favorite exploration out of any video game I ever played.

    Personally for me, Cervantes De Leon is the best video game pirate, as he embodies the strength and ruthlessness, that is commonly associated with being a pirate, also most if not all of his stages in the Soul Calibur series, either are on a ship itself, or have a ship in the background, to me he is who I think about when I think about a video game pirate.

    Admiral Razorbeard deserves recognition as one of the most evil pirates in video games: before even setting a foot in Glade of Dreams, the dude was responsible for enslaving AND obliterating hundreds of planets he visited and by the time Rayman 2 began, he already had enslaved almost the entire population of the Glade of Dreams all the way to even capturing Rayman, and from that beginning alone set the game much darker than the first Rayman game. And he even almost succeeded in killing off Rayman at the end of the game. The dude also came back in Rayman M as a playable character and as the main villain in GBA version of Rayman 3, which plays out WAY differently than the console version where Razorbeard and his Robo-Pirate crew are PRESUMABLY rendered inactive in the formation of da Vinci's The Last Supper in a secret room in Hoodlum Headquarters. I say presumably because we don't know are these Robo-Pirates the replicas or the real ones permanently deactivated.

      God I remember you from childhood. But you can quibble that the robo-pirates weren’t really doing much “piracy”? They were more of an invading force, and we don’t really see them doing much stealing from anyone that wasn’t several notches beneath them. I guess you can look at it like a reverse Treasure Island situation? Where Rayman and pals are taking the perspective of the natives on whatever island is getting pillaged? I love Razorbeard but that boy ain’t sticking it to the man enough.

    O'er across the ocean's tide. Rays of sunshine far and wide.
    Birds they sing, of cheerful things, in circles passing by.
    Bid farewell to weaver's town, say so long to port renowned.
    Sing a song, it won't be long, before we're casting off.
    Cross the gold and silver seas, a salty spray puts us at ease,
    Day and night, to our delight, the voyage never ends.
    (interlude)
    Gather up all of the crew, it's time to ship out Binks' brew.
    Pirates, we eternally are challenging the sea.
    With the waves to rest our heads, ship beneath us as our beds,
    hoisted high upon the mast, our jolly roger flies.
    Somewhere in the endless sky, stormy winds are blowing by,
    waves are dancing, evening comes, it's time to sound the drums.
    But steady men, and never fear, tomorrow's skies are always clear.
    So pound your feet and clap your hands 'til sunny days return.

    Our days are but a passing dream, everlasting though they seem.
    Beneath the moon we'll meet again, the wind's our lullaby.
    Gather up all of the crew, it’s time to ship out Binks’ brew.
    Sing a song, and play along for all the oceans wide.
    After all is said and done, you'll end up a skeleton,
    so spread your tale from dawn 'til dusk upon these foamy seas.

He kidnapped DK, owns an entire island, has his army to be like an pirate and has my favorite K. Rool persona & boss fight if the entire series. Even in other games, he & his crew were still pirate like crew that he leads with.

    As far as space pirates go, I’d have also listed the Tom Tom Gang, especially their captain/boss, Benito from Blinx the Time Sweeper. Those pirates use space controls (usually thrown as grenades) and regular guns to complement their main rivals, the Time Factory Sweepers’ time controls & Sweeper vacuums. They usually attack Time Factory workers to steal time from them (yes, time the dimension) as well as doing that to worlds the factory delivered time to by breaking it into glitching. Glitched time condenses into solid crystal form that can be combined and exploited for time controls depending on shape. The Tom Tom Gang exploit this to sell time to other worlds though it isn’t clear if they mean poorer worlds to help them Somali pirate style or the highest bidder from any world.
    Unfortunately, leaving time crystals to fester for too long makes them turn into time monsters whose very existence threatens the world as they damage all they touch, even without meaning to. The pirates making time crystals all over an earthlike world in the first game drives the plot, spawning a million monsters and risking them exploding and destroying the world from all the energy they absorb, justifying every level doing the Sonic Advance & Mega Drive thing of a 10 minute time limit.
    During their attack before the monsters appear, they guard against the sweepers stopping them by taking a human princess named Lena hostage whom Blinx falls in love with, his goal of saving the world being partially driven to help her. She falls for him too and exploits a rewind time control to embrace him in thanks.
    In the sequel, the Tom Toms get more screen time and we even play as one, fighting the sweepers to be the first to restore a giant time crystal Benito accidentally destroyed so he can get in a human looking goddess named Mina’s pants.

    One I really like is EXTRA Rider from the Nasuverse.
    Simply put, her true name is Francis Drake. One of the pirates directly responsible for the heroic pirate archetype thanks to legally assisting Britain in its war against Spain. In her first appearance, however, she shows that she can very much be the dirty player a pirate is expected to be by assisting the Master she despises in cheating at the arena and stealing her records to deny you the chance of finding anything related to their strategy. Obviously her signature move is the Invincible Armada but even her being a woman is a reference to tales of Queen Elizabeth I disguising herself as Drake to go on adventures.
    There's also her appearance in Grand Order, where to avoid going into details she manages to be the reason Poseidon is beatable. And she's apparently done this before.

    10: I can't ever say that I like LoL, due to how the game is practically impossible to get into as a newbie, but I can respect the characters. Plus, that correlation between his apparent death in the lore and a game-breaking bug making him unplayable is, admittedly, pretty cool. (Gangplank (League of Legends))
    9: But did he shoot first? (Balthier (Final Fantasy XII))
    8: Yeah, sorry, Ridley, you're probably one of the COOLEST space pirates in gaming, but by no means are you the BEST. This gal is. (Aria T'Loak (Mass Effect 2 & 3))
    7: Seriously, why did they hint that he was still alive and yet never do anything more with him, especially since he got so popular?(Vaas Montenegro (Far Cry 3))
    6: One of the few characters from that era of Mega Man who lived on through Marvel vs Capcom. (Tron Bonne (Mega Man Legends))
    5: I was waiting for this one. My girl! (Risky Boots (Shantae))
    4: I REALLY need to play Assassin's Creed at some point. (Edward Kenway (Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag))
    3: I don't think there is enough bi representation in media nowadays, so this is a nice change of pace. (Isabela (Dragon Age))
    2: I know that the cast from Monkey Island actually got into Sea of Thieves, which is cool. (Captain LeChuck (Secret of Monkey Island))
    1: Thank you JelloApocalypse for helping to get this some more eyes on it. Also remember, we are thousands of feet in the air. (Vyse (Skies of Arcadia))

    Most of my favorite Pirates are from other media. The Crew from Castle in the Sky, Long John Silver from Treasurer Planet, the One Piece crew, Bodacious Space Pirates (Its far tamer then it sounds), and who could forget Captain Harlock, or Captain Jack Sparrow.
    Though one Video game Pirate I would bring up is Tetra from the Legend of Zelda.

    I wanna make a guess on your next countdown: Top 10 Ninjas ft. Gaijin Goomba but that's just speculation I feel like you could make it happen because I think Gaijin Goomba is a fan of your videos (I think he used a clip for an intro for one of his Which Ninja videos), your countdowns do have a certain degree of being educational which I'm pretty sure Gaijin wouldn't want to miss out on leaving some ninja education, and I think he's the best guy to drop any ninja education

      Her plan in half genie hero was a smart one too. Having her tinkerbats swipe the blueprints for a dynamo, secretly swapping said blueprints for those for a similar machine of her own design, waiting for Shantae and her uncle to build the thing, before swooping in to steal the machine, but not before using it to reverse Shantae's magic from good to evil turning her into Nega Shantae. Then while Shantae's friends fight to bring her back to her senses, Risky and her crew get to work upgrading the dynamo so she can use it to turn the entire genie realm evil and turn the genies that Shantae so wanted to meet into her hapless minions.

    never thought of Aria like that but it fits...loved her in ME2 ( haven't played ME3's Omega DLC yet though...but it'll happen eventually since I have the ME Legendary Edition now ). Also a HUGE fan of Risky, Vaas, Edward Kenway & Isabella. Never got to play much of Arcadia sadly ( seriously Sega, give us a Legends remaster on current gen PLEASE )... Honestly pleasantly surprised not to see Cervantes from Soul Calibur mentioned ( though to be fair, I know nothing about LoL & have no real opinions there ) despite him being a favorite of mine. Also love Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition's Patty Fleur, Tales of Berseria's Eizen, Zelda's alter-ego Tetra and Plankbeard from Chibi-Robo ( I just find him hilarious & interesting )

    I'm surprised sea of thieves wasn't mentioned, particularly its main villain captian flameheart who I'd argue to be the purest pirate in gaming
    He, and by extention his organization the reapers bones are to me anyway the best look into what pirates really were, none of that nonesense about exploration or discovery or freedom all that trash, they attack whoever they want, take anything valuable, and kill whoever gets in their way because they can. Pirates in real life weren't charming rouges or robin hood like vigilantes, they were thieves and murderers, common scum looking for someone smaller than them to pick on, with the choice to become a pirate, like the choice to sail the flag of the reapers bones, being a deal with the devil, receiving wealth and power, and the cost of being feared, loathed, and a very short life expectancy,
    TLDR captian flameheart embodies pirates from a more realistic perspective and that's why i beleive he is the best video game pirate

    The term 'manning' is a non-gendered word. It's not a reference to man as in masculine, but 'mannus' meaning of the hand. So manning something is taking it in hand, or manipulating it in the hand. So trying to regender it by saying 'womanning' just makes you sound ignorant, not progressive.
