Me: Can't wait to see my boy Darkstripe
Bright Guardian Akira: *I'm gonna end this man's whole career*
I would have counted him because he converted longtail by manipulating him into eating prey. That’s pretty bad to ruin someone’s life with one mistake they regret. Other than that though there isn’t much I’d count against him.
Frosted Citrus I agree
Same here
Oh, wow!🤣
Harpoon Edgelord I kinda like him to 😅
The most evil cat in warriors:
Spottedleaf
Smells too nice
YES XD
smells h o t
👍👍👍
@@rawflesaurus9011 yeah. She woulda taken over the clans with her perfume
Spottedleaf sucks.
Nobody:
DarkTail: Has a seizure and proceeds to spin kick the clans apart
Darktail, not DarkTail
@Sammi The Giraffe it can be spelt either way. I spell Ashfur as ashfur and AshFur.
An unknown stranger. Technically @Sammy The Giraffe is right. It’s only ever spelled as Ashfur or Darktail in the books, so that’s right.
I have a problem with capitals so I just write it like that
Sammi The Giraffe it doesn't matter
Me: Who’s Dodge?
Akira: SkyClan’s Destiny was a mess...
Me: Still don’t remember Dodge
I know!
Ev Pev I know who dodge is!!!!!1!1!
He was a cat who just didnt like skyclan for some reason... i remember he was in skyclans destiny but i cant really remember why
u just spoke my mind XD
I read one sentence of SkyClan’s destiny... and never read it again.
Okay, I agree, Hawkfrost didn't do much. WHEN HE WAS ALIVE. When he was dead he gathered most of the cats for the dark forest, he trained cats to be evil, way more than Tigerstar did.
Giraffe Boy he’s only counting the alive ones
@@thebunnies8657 no, he talked about Tigerstar as a ghost as well as alive.
I still hate him. sorry
I love hawkfrost
AFUniversCat 🥺
“spottedleaf’s heart is a thing that happened”
I was watching this with my little brother and saw the cover for that novella, and was like 'plz don't talk about Spottedleaf's Heart' and then he said that and I felt *very* relieved
100th like :DDDDDDD
That book is sooo dark and depressing
Thornclaw was grooming Spottedleaf. It is a horrible book.
* Shudders *
no one:
Absolutely no one:
Brokenstar: GETS KILLED BY YELLOWFANG 2 TIMES!!!
Like brambleclaw kills hawkfrost 2 times😂🤷🏻♀️
Aldi Keks *sighs slowly*
Related cat killed the other
2 times
Hawkfrost and Brokenstar: Gets killed by the same cat TWICE, Hawkfrost by his half-brother and Brokenstar by his MOTHER.
‘Violence isn’t always the answer’
while murdering everyone in sight
Edit: thanks for the likes 👍
Leave it a 69
It's because violence isn't an answer. It's a question. And the answer is 'yes'.
Violence is the question... And the answer is yes
The most evil villain:
Walking Chapters
Thanks for the likes ! I feel famous!
So true
XD yes. So true
Yep! 😂
YES
I skipped a whole book of walking and everything still made sense
breezepelt.
yes, the edgy teenager.
Mali Saporis Amet 6:45
Ngl if I could pick any cat to kill him I would choose heathertail just for a BIG EPIC SURPRISE WOW!!!
@@heathertravers3918 I wouldn’t choose to have him killed, I’d more choose for Heathertail to die bc that’s basically the only cat he cares abt (I think lmao)
Yes yes yes yes yessssssss
Personally, I think the most wholesome part in the entire series is when Tigerstar helped Silverstream with her kits.
Man I loved that moment. He just takes that kit and licks it, and I think it was one of the few times when I saw him as a person (cat?) not just a villain.
Yes. After getting called a useless lump of fur. I can't believe I never see people talking about that part. 😔
yeah.
But it was from the warrior code...
"If you see a kit hurt, starving, abandoned, you need to help, dont caring if the kit is from another clan."
He wouldnt broke the warrior code.
@@Lost_Eclipse Have you read past that page of Forest of Secrets?
@@Lost_Eclipse Yeah: plus, I have Enter the Clans, it has Code of the Clans included. For that exact part of the code is literally a vision of WHY Tigerstar decided to go lead ShadowClan after exile: he's saved from a fox by ShadowClan warriors, and pretty much tells them he'll repay them one day.
The worst villain ever...
The writers who haven’t released Veil of Shadows yet 😡
Itz me! • oh poor you, can’t be patient.
Dakota Drawz oh poor you, can’t take a joke
Itz me! Uh huh, now you’re gonna woooosh me, because I didn’t get the joke. Wow, so original.
Dakota Drawz Wow, never realized people were so petty on TH-cam... well, have a great day! I know I will, because I’m not wasting all my time starting arguments over jokes. Bye 😁
Such a small but large arguement over a comment
I like to think that when Ashfur died, he was supposed to go to the dark forest, but Brindleface and Whitestorm made excuses for him
Lmaoooooo
And maybe ferncloud but why whitestorm ?
@@yourlocalnetizen3116 whitestorm was his dad
Galactic Lunatic really??? I thought he was willowpelt’s mate
@@yourlocalnetizen3116 He was both Brindleface and Willowpelts parent, yet I think one died before the other so he took on a new mate but then again not everything works out in a relationship
Me: Akira is awesome!
Akira: Hollyleaf is an antagonist.
Me: Pixel has left the chat
Totally agreed) 👍👍👍
EXACTLY HOLLYBAE IS THE BEST
PixelizedSoul Studios Hollyleaf was a antagonist, DONt @ me she’s my favorite character
Holly is the best!
Definitely!
Favorite Scourge, reason:
Edgy, serial killer, and kills Tigerstar
Least favorite Hawkfrost, reason:
One minute weak, next killing Firestar, next dying because he cant handle Brambleclaw turning even though he is the favorite better son

@@aggressivelysobbing yes and you must be a person of standards aswell
"I feel Firestar's anxiety."

“Kill me, then. Kill me, and tell the stars that you WON.”
ohh man
@@songbird6414 that line gets me bawling
Honestly I love Sol. We need more of manipulation without getting dirty paws :D
We also need more of female villains. And please, no more Tigerstar clones lol
I agree, I feel like we do, we have so many Tom villains, I just want a villain she-cat who actually can make it to the podium, basically 3-1
SAMEEEEE
i was about to LOSE IT with that misunderstood cats joke ans the beginning
creepy 22 PFFT-
Why
SAME
Ha cringe
I was like ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!! when that happened.
To be honest, Mapleshade would be my favourite if she just appeared in Crookedstar's Promise and Omen of the Stars.
She appeared in so many different novellas just for the sake of appearing.
And yes, Mapleshade's Vengeance was a mess of a sob story.
Mapleshade is my favorite too
MápleDawn Wiłdcraft im actually debating about wheter i should hate or love her bc i rlly love spottedleaf but mapleshades Cool too 😅
You mean shaplemade
@@Bri-zq6ct 😂
To be honest, Spottedleaf was a short lived character, and things would have been weird if Firestar was there in Starclan with SpottedLeaf AND Sandstorm. He loves them both and they both love him. Who knows what would have happened. Also, at least she died a honourable death by saving Sandstorm. She's much more interesting this way than if she just faded out like how spirits do when they are forgotten.
Finally, someone who doesn't instantly say Mapleshade is the worst villain! I totally expected to see her name somewhere in the double-digits, and when the numbers climbed higher and higher without seeing her name I was so relieved! Mapleshade might have had one of the most annoying and stupid backstories (where the warrior code is wack and all the leaders are blocks of ice like come on banishment for a simple FBL???), but she contributed majorly to the story and development of characters. Personally, I think she is an amazing villain, and I politely disagree with those who say she's awful.
I don't really like mapleshade. But I agree i just wouldn't say shes the BEST villian.
@@deadhamiltrash6675 That makes sense!
I felt really bad for her kits cause they didn’t deserve what happened to them
I love Darktail, though I hate his backstory and that he has no good motive to destroy the clans.
But, he is clever and ruthless. He was able to lure SkyClan cats on journeys to kill them. He led raccoons to the gorge to attack SkyClan. Then he and his Kin killed 6 cats (I think) driving SkyClan out of the gorge. He nearly destroyed SkyClan altogether. Then, when he gets to the lake, he is able to use ShadowClan's internal turmoil to get almost ShadowClan cat to join him. He is able to manipulate Onestar, getting him to retreat, allowing Darktail to win a battle and heavily wound RiverClan. Next, he goes and conquers RiverClan, killing five riverclan warriors and taking four prisoner. Taking the prisoners was genius because it made Mistystar not fight until they were freed, keeping RiverClan out of the battle. He also didn't hesitate the ShadowClan cats that ran away and other traitors.
Basically, he nearly destroyed SkyClan, annexed ShadowClan, and conquered RiverClan. He defeated 3 out of 5 clans.
I also enjoy a change of pace from villains in recent years who have good motives and reasons to Darktail just being pure evil.
Keeping the hurt riverclan cats prisonners wasn't a bad idea, but I think he should have limited himself to one hostage and avoid mistreating him or her. Petty acts of cruelty like sending kittypets into the battle first should have been avoided too. More shadowclan cats would have been willing to stay with him if he had controlled himself. Probably could have won him the war, really.
Me: Oh boi I can't wait to see what spot my boi Thistleclaw will be. He wasn't the greatest villain but he was an interesting one! :)
literally 2 seconds later
me: ah
me: of course
Thistleclaw: GOD DALM RIVERCLAN

The worst of all: Lionblaze chapters
Yes
He wasn’t that bad. You telling me that the action and the fighting wasn’t good??
DA BEAST im more of talking about the chapters that were just plain boring, but as a character i actually liked lionblaze the best Out of the 3 ;)
I never had a problem with them

꧁TealKitsuneArtz꧂ 😂😂😂😂😂
Bryanna McCorkle I completely forgot about this comment 😂
꧁TealKitsuneArtz꧂ haha I always do that
Bryanna McCorkle lmao I did it again-
One eye was a good villain but I feel like he died too soon. I would like it if he one day returned, but he is probably long dead. Unless he has a part with the new books or anything.
Bramblestar is more of a villain than a literal cat Hitler? (Brokenstar)
Respect your opinion, doesn't make it any less confusing lol
I think what makes Bramble worse than Broken is the fact that we know from the beginning that Broken was the villain, the writers tried desperately to make Bramble look like a protagonist, which makes children (the actual target audiences of the book) think that Bramble's actions are okay because he's supposed to be the good guy
@@0iqgremlin414 Bramblestar was supposed to be based off of one of the writers’ cats. So I understand why they keep waffling between him being a hero and a shitty cat husband who should go kick rocks. He’s lived too long and he’s become the villain. He really shouldn’t have become leader.
I’m just gonna tell you, look at ashfur and “BrabmleStar” next to eachother. They are both giving that evil side smile, and also, it fits together why he would be the villain, he hates squirrelflight and would do anything to get back at her, also he could be there just to spite thunderclan and make them look like some weird version of shadowclan. It would make sense that he’s the one inside of Bramblestar, because one he wouldn’t really treat squirrelflight like how he does on the broken code and 2 it just makes sense.
toco turtle it’s too obvious and if you read squirrelflights hope, it showed him at such peace and it showed him so content.
@@no-gk8px well it's kinda confirmed now
@@silliest-astro ya ik. This was a while ago before it was confirmed. I just assumed it was too obv at that point but we know now
@Bethany Stahl Ashfur was in litter of Brindlefaces in Into The Wild
brabmlestar
The dislikes are from starcla- oh wait. There are none.
There are 5 now lol
@@violettasl6395 must be Squirrelflight, Bristlefrost, Rootpaw, Tree, and Spotfur. The rebels are coming. I would mention Shadowsight but he's...well...unavailable right now.
6 from mostly the least villians on the list.
9 now
16 now
Me: I cant wait to hear him talk about Rain or other The Kin evil members
Akira: No sidekicks-
Me....
*Listen here you little-*
(This is a joke- Ily Akira-)
The cats experiencing an eclipse and Sol just vibing while the cats panic about “starclan being pissed” just made me laugh in the books
I agree, Mudclaw is a very interesting character, and he has a good reason to be angry. He should've gotten some better character development though, because they just cut him off too quickly
Right now I gotta say darktail. He's really powerful and did more than ANY cat in the entire series. Even more than mapleshade did. Mapleshade killed cats, not take over and destroy clans and make them scatter to another area. Mapleshade is my least favorite because she's loved, but she only killed a few cats.
KAEDE
Judging on how many cats these villains kill, there is plenty other villains that killed less than three cats.
Yet she trained almost all villains after her!
It hurts seeing four of these cats listed in here. I remember young 8-grader me reading The new prophecy and Power of three for the first time back in like 2014-ish and i was thinking "Brambleclaw is such a good cat, hes my favorite. Oh! Hollypaw/leaf is good too, now shes my favorite cat!" and of course me denying that Ashfur is actually evil and love to believe that he was blinded by his love with squirrelflight. And then i got into DotC and GrayWing became my new favorite cat (hes my favorite to this day) The other cat is Breezepelt bc i loved to think he was just a mini Crowpaw
Ashfur dies directly after he did the ONLY evil thing he did😂
:O
I WOVE YOUR NEW ICON ITS SO CUTE
【BLACKS STUPID CHANNEL】 oh my god I am so sorry
【BLACKS STUPID CHANNEL】 oh my god I feel horrible

【BLACKS STUPID CHANNEL】 ok. I am so sorry.
WHAT
Akira: No maple shade folks!
Me: cries my eyes out
Akira: JK!!!
Me: you better not do that again
And as you can tell my favorite villain is maple shade and my least favorite villain is broken star
I dont agree. Brokenstar was a nasty villain, which was the part that made him good. Brokenstar is my top 7. My top 1 is Clearsight. I hate bumblestripe. Least fav villain issssssss: Thistleclaw.
Oh yeah Mapleshade is rated 19 on my list. Not a good villain to me.
Dead Hamiltrash she’s # 1on my list😕
I feel like in Squirrelflights hope bramblestar was trying to avoid a war while being asked about kits, trying to make her stop, but the stress leading to him to blocking Squirrelflight out fully
Yeah, it was a super good book.
I think so
Bramble just bad
Just watch Moonkitti's vid
Bramblestar is a jerk and a horrible bf for squirrelflight but to put bramblestar on number 4 in the list is WAY to high. You can’t say bramblestar is more evil then darktail or brokenstar but he deserves to be on the list only not at number for that is a little overreacting
Me the whole video: s I g H
Me when Akira says number one: it's probably not him
"Clear Sky"
Me: Y E S
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE CLEAR SKY
YES CLEAR SKY MY FAVORITE WARRIOR CAT
OF OoF, I didn't have time to sign up on this challenge(not rlly a challenge) Late! But congrats to the ppl on amino ;-;
And my most fav villain is HawkFrost. It's because I just love how his Evil force is just serounding.
My least fav is Darkstripe. As on the 'Darkest hour', He could not even Fight stonefur. His Evil force is strong but he just seems weak.
I’m a simple man
I see an Akira video, I click
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HIS NEW ICON
My favorite villain is Darktail. He’s interesting, and succeeded in driving out SkyClan, as well as invading ShadowClan and RiverClan. Not a lot of villains in the series complete their goals
My favorite moment is the first battle in Shattered Sky, when for once the villain is actually the underdog, yet is still able to succeed by outsmarting his opponents.
"No misunderstood cats such as Ashfur and Mapleshade."
Me: Wait...
Akira: "JK! They are DEFINITELY on this list!"
Me: *What is this trickery?!*
Also me: *Number 1 on this list is: Akira. He tricked us all when he said that Mapleshade and Ashfur wouldn't be on this list*
*XD*
Lol
LOL TRUE
Maple shade is my favorite bc I feel so bad for her she lost her kits and her home
steve saga fan same, she had a sad story
She is my favorite too
steve saga fan and her mate rudely dumped her. I was so satisfied when Mapleshade killed him
y'all are insane mapleshade was CRAZY she killed 3 cats due to them supposedly killing her kits!?
steve saga fan I agree, she did a lot of awful things afterwards, but, her story was just so sad, and she was treated so badly by pretty much everyone in the clans.
Yes i agree she just did a revenge for her kits because they died... Mapleshade doesn't deserve to be killed by Perchpaw... poor to her and her kits that was all off Appledusk's fault... but Mapleshade it's my favorite villain she-cat too... She killed cats to protecting their kits... it's a sad story...
Me: *sees Clearsky on the list*
Me: * happy Dawn of the Clans fan noises*
Bright Guardian Akira: “Number one is Clearsky”
*“We are Number One” starts playing*
The most evil cat in all of the books: Berrynose.
I hate this cat. I don't know why, but whenever I even see his name, rage builds up inside me. He's horrible and cruel and I hope greencough kills him between the last broken code books that came out and this new one.
#1 most villainous character scourge WITH purple collar
Favorite villain😆😆😆
Hands down: Darktail, Tigerstar 1, and Hawkfrost
I feel like I'm one of few people who actually read skyclan's destiny
Akira: "At number 8"

I think what they did right with Clear Sky was letting us see his side of the story, seeing his mind and motives, in the actual series instead of a novella. One of the many reasons I love DoTC.

@@sorry9570 you said your opinion under my opinion? Which is praising Bramblestar while you seem to hate him? You can see my confusion.😕😕
And yeah I also write paragraphs explaining why squirrelflight was part of the wrong and why bramblestar isn't as bad as everyone thinks, but yeah its just my opinion! 😁
@@sorry9570 btw its been 2 weeks since i wrote that comment and I wrote it because he put bramblestar(not the imposter) pretty high in the list. Over dark forest evil cats? How does that make sense???
@@sorry9570 lol I feel like you guys just went in to squirrelflights hope hating bramblestar and taking every interaction as hate on him.
My fav villain is maplestripe, she is like, my child. I love her. I can see where she is coming from, being discarded ruthlessly by appledusk (I hate appledusk), but losing her kits makes it impossible for her to deal with it in a sane way. Just the way she seems so... just kinda like sol in my opinion I dunno why. I just love her XD
But my least fav is Bramblestar (not the imposter) tbh. I hate the way he treats my fav character (that is not villain) aka Squirrelflight, and how he rlly is not that stuck to his character of a calm and smart leader. I know it’s bc he is angry, but I expected his anger to be more subtle and more just make his and Squirrelflight’s relationship subtlety miserable instead of destroying it, and to have it not be on purpose.
I hate how they basically deleted all of Clear Sky's development in A Forest Divided and Moth Flight's vision. I get that having multiple writers is tough and sometimes things are inconsistent, but since Moth Flight's vision is the end of the arc people have asshole Clear Sky embedded into their minds and that's probably the biggest reason most people hate him.
that's actually what I was thinking at 5:31 since Ashfur loved Squirrelflight, and spends all of his time with her in the first half in the book, and then when he suddenly turns on her, it's like he's reminded of the pain he suffered when he got "Friend zoned"
I also think maybe Sol is the imposter, although maybe not that likely since last time we saw him he was alive.
Or it could be Darktail, or a Dark Forest cat that didn't die in the Great Battle.
and of course there's always a chance its just a totally new character but I think most of these characters are the most likely, except Sol is pretty unlikely
also I agree sometimes actual Brambelstar was a total villian
"The impostor" I love how ominous that sounds
*amogus-*
I love your new profile picture for TH-cam! Great job!

*is he going to be hated or loved?*
Yesh yesh yesh!
AKIRA POSTED AND NOW IM HAPPY
Great list! I just *love* Warriors villains so this video was very interesting to me. My favourite villain and my favourite character of all time is Tigerstar
I literally was just singing Akira’s song Attention during this whole video
Honestly, I never really liked Oneeye that much. Maybe it was because he just came out of the blue, being oh so obviously evil, and everyone was just like “oh, yeah, he’s so trustworthy.” I guess he did impact the hero’s to take action, but he will always rub me the wrong way.
Me: Realizes this is The New prophecy spoilers
Me also: WHY
In terms of raw impact on the series, Tigerstar is iconic. But in terms of making the best with the limited time given... I really love Scourge, and not for the standard "oh he has an angsty past" reasons.
It would have been easy for Scourge to devolve into a cop-out antagonist. There was so much tension leading up to Tigerstar and Firestar's epic confrontation, and reading The Darkest Hour for the first time, I was completely blindsided by the twist. But it worked INCREDIBLY well, because Scourge is thematically perfect for the climax of both character's arcs in the first six books.
Tigerstar's greatest flaw was always his arrogance and sense of entitlement. He is a strong warrior who makes tough choices; therefore, he deserves to rule, and anyone who gets in his way needs to be destroyed. He also displays a deep disdain for kittypets, half-Clan cats, and anyone who doesn't fit his conception of what a Clan warrior should be.
When he enlists Scourge to help him conquer the forest, it highlights all of these flaws and punishes him for them. He attacks Scourge in a fit of rage and betrayal, and it proves to be his final living mistake. In the end, Tigerstar dies not in glorious combat with his arch-nemesis Firestar, but slowly and painfully, brought down by the keystone of his own scheme. His belief that he was greater than others--and certainly greater than a former kittypet-- was directly responsible for his demise. The scene where he loses his nine lives, bleeding out on the grass beneath Fourtrees, solidifies Tigerstar as a failed dictator and Scourge as a terrifying new challenge. Both characters are enriched by this interaction.
As for Firestar, he has always grappled with outside prejudice and inner anxiety, and this new threat calls that to the forefront in more ways than one. Scourge represents all the bloodthirst and greed that the warrior code is meant to discourage, and if he is victorious, Firestar will lose the home he fought so hard to carve out a place in. To make matters worse, Scourge is also a former kittypet, and therefore represents the unseen cruelty of Firestar's former world. By defeating him, Firestar is not only saving his newfound family, but conquering the worst parts of his past once and for all. Despite having barely known Scourge, it is a deeply personal victory, for it proves that his honor and courage is the equal of any Clan-born cat's. It is not where a cat comes from, but *who they choose to be* that shapes their legacy.
Characters are not isolated singularities, but threads in an interconnected web of story. They support, tug on, reflect, and shape one another's paths, and if woven carefully, they amplify each other's magnificence. Scourge is a serviceable character by himself, but it is his role in showing other characters their own darkest demons that elevates him to one of the greatest villains in the entire Warriors canon.
And to think, he accomplished all this in less than half of a book.
I was gonna request this video but you did it already XD
Based on your numbers 2 and 3, Animorphs would be a series you'd absolutely adore.

Yaaay my boy Clear Sky is the best villain :)
Sol is like my favourite villain I’ve been reading skyclan and the stranger and when his backstory was revealed ah- I felt so bad for him it really gave me the feels lol
This is my 3rd comment but bear with me.
6:14 "And his return with the Rogue Group-"
For a second, I thought he was talking about The Kin. That made me wonder how cool it would've been if Sol returned alongside Darktail. Two grudgey bois originating from Skyclan that send Shadowclan to ruins.

Dawn of the clans is my absolute favorite arc
