Aw man, I *loved* the D-Reaper so much. It seems like the most realistic depiction of a digital threat that also poses a major threat in the real world. It also carried a lot of dramatic weight with it, capturing Jeri and Calumon, and forcing the original Digital Monster coders back together to find a solution. It had some serious scope.
@@ChoaiDode as a 4-year-old??????? Even now that entire Arc is a horror movie a nightmare that I can't believe got past sensors but I absolutely love it as well it's essentially a horror movie but the characters are actually smart and the characters are facing an actual threat the d-reper was a near unstoppable force it took the power of 5 mega level digimons one of which is a royal night and even then they needed an upgrade from one of the top 10 strongest digital life forms there is and also the help of the four Digimon sovereigns just to take it down permanently it's an apocalypse level threat that could have destroyed the entire digital world and human world maybe even control creates and become Gaiamon
The villains in Digimons 1-3 were by far the best because they didn't have childish elements to their creation, they were dark and psychologically terrorizing.
Like for example after Leomon was killed Jerry went into an intense episode of depression that spanned several episodes eventually having that void in her filled by darkness. As a kid seeing that type of dark depression experienced by Jerry was hard to process. Come to think of it several characters had depressive episodes like Matt, Black War Greymon, Cari, and Ken. All seeking to have a purpose and all falling into a nihilist void when they couldn't find it
Oh, the memories. The first 4 seasons were a MASSIVE part of my childhood. I still remember how much it creeped me out as a kid when Piedmon was hunting everyone down and turning them into key chains one by one.
Yeah, I can see why Myotismon outdoes Piedmon though. Myotismon had a lot of attention dedicated to him (including Season 02) and thus we got to see his power, his cunning, his cold-heartedness and evil, and how he was a true threat to the Chosen Children / Digi-Destined and both the real world and Digital World. Piedmon may have been a much stronger antagonist by comparison, but attention had to be widely split between him and the other three Dark Masters and it didn't really feel like we got to see a whole lot more to him BESIDES his general power whereas we got to see at least a bit of cunning, strategy, evil, etc. from the other three Dark Masters (killing their subordinates or allies of the Chosen Children, for example).
@@HalfDemonInuyasha I found the dark masters more interesting and shown in tri they were destined to fight the digidestined it was also more straight to the point
@@HalfDemonInuyasha Piedmon vs Magnangemon is super underrated it’s not Angemon vs Devimon but still really great and when you think about it Seraphimon wasn’t even an upgrade he should’ve been on Omnimon’s level anyways he defeated Wargreymon and Metalgarumon and was the dark masters have history with the digidestined being the enemies of the 1st though maybe Myotismon we could really use a series on them
2:49: I still miss BlackWargreymon. He wanted to find other reasons to live besides fighting despite that fighting was what he was mostly good at. Rest in peace. 7:43: Myotismon certainly followed Frieza's path. He survived death and oblivion. Twice.
@@christyndoro Easily. And WM puts him in the honourable mentions. WTF how wrong can people be. That's like putting Cell from DBZ in the HM in the same kind of list.
@@dansalmeron9878 i think this list is based on how far their ambition as villain. seeing how Vlad Tepesmon won't die for multiple times just to rapes those innocent child, it's not surprised Mojo put him on number 1
LouisianaBurns Crazy idea: if a kid had "a" Myotismon as their Digimon partner, that one would be less like Dracula and more like Raziel from the Legacy of Kain games.
What made him truly evil is what he did to Oikawa. There is nothing more evil than turning a grieving and vulnerable person into one's own personal engine of destruction, murder, and child abduction and manipulation.
Fun Fact: Derek Stephen Prince voiced three of the characters on the list - Beelzemon, Piedmon, and Digimon Kaiser/Emperor (Ken). Guess that guy has a thing for villains, morally complex characters, and redemption characters *gazes at Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu*.
Black WarGreymon was my favorite character. He wasn't around that long, but his character had more depth than most main characters had. The kind of soul searching and whatnot was missing from much of the series.
He's like Frankenstein, trying desperately to find meaning after being born. Wandering aimlessly. However, he pretty much immediately dismisses his own creator and takes control of his own destiny.
Etemon man .. he was just something else man. He was not only a comedic villain but he was almost a schizophrenic psychopath man. He definitely deserves to be number 2 only under Piedmon and Myotismon on number 3. Piedmon with the puppetguy were truly scary back in the time for a child like me at the time I watched it.
Meh. Myotismon is easily the best villain of the franchise, but most of the other villains were rather lackluster. Honestly, Tamers, Xros Wars and maybe Frontier all have an overall higher quality roster of antagonists.
Myotismon is pretty much the one behind the whole crisis from season 2 of Digimon Adventures. Ken/Digimon emperor was manipulated by Arukenimon who was created by Oikawa who in turn was manipulated by Myotismon. I haven't seen the show since I was a kid but that's what I remembered.
I feel like D-Reaper should be higher on the list. it's simplicity in mindset made it scary. it fucked with their emotions: hell its humanoid form has similarities to Jerry (its hair and side ponytail; didnt even notice this for years til someone on youtube pointed it out). it made an empty doll that passed off as her for some episodes, it's lack of emotion being seen as Jerry being "broken" to a point Takoto admits his true feelings for her...but being a fake doll that only looks like Jerry, his words and feelings mean nothing to it; and the only response to his emotional speech is her reading off the nutrient facts on the back of the lunch box. just a _teensy_ bit unsettling. you couldn't reason with it. you couldn't change it's mind no matter how much you kept trying to prove it's view about humans was wrong. it messed with Jerry's emotions, feeding on her despair and thereby prolonging her grief from losing Leomon, forced her to remember the loss of her mother and capitalizing on her hidden fears of being alone, her loved ones taken away from her too soon when she could do nothing to prevent or stop it. and this started by Beelzemon's hand no less; whom by the way is the only one to kill off a main character. granted Leomon showed up later in the season, but he became part of the main cast, so I feel Beelzemon should've been a little higher on the list for that as well. that and his action made a big impact afterwards, _on _*_everyone there_*_, including himself_ . not for one episode of angst or mild sadness that could be erased with a few uplifting words, but for the remainder of the season, which still had more than 10 episodes to go at that point. I agree on number 1 being myotismon. poor oekalwa, I always cried with him at the end; his life long dream was to go to the digital world...and while he so close to achieving it, he never gets to physically transverse through it like the other digidestined. ever. the Dark Masters pushed the team to it's limits, but Piedmon actually whittled them down to the two youngest kids and came so close to beating everyone for real. later against apocolomon I'd like to think their tags and crests acted as backup storage, storing the data, memory, etc of each individual and their respective partner and all their digivolutions, including what each kid represented. in effect the kids were in the trash, but like some corrupted (infected) files, they reappeared, restored where they last were no matter how times you try to delete it.
I agree with you on the D-Reaper. I think it's partly why Season 3 is in a tough tie with Season 1 for me as my favorites. I felt like those seasons really dealt with some heavy issues. Season 2 does as well, but I think the other seasons just dealt with them better. To me D-reaper can also represent mental illness, especially depression.
the d reaper hands down was the scariest and the best villain by far...not up for debate...it takes the image of a cute little girl, warps it into nothing short of a monstrosity and creates numerous agents that all use the girl's voice simultaneously....nothing else comes close
Beelzemon was brutal. I saw a character on a children's anime get impaled through the chest by a demon biker wielding shotguns. The fight that followed is still my favorite digimon battle of all time.
Thundershot 64 yh but u look at it now pokemon is still big but has had no real improvements like ageing for example and digimon has never kept the same exciting feel as the original but tri is starting to look good just tamers and fusion let it down abit
@@youzonk7692 Only because of a Power up he got from Kari (somehow). Without it, he would have been deleted (Wargreymon was reverted to Koromon after a SINGLE hit from Machinedramon and had a scar left over. That was WITH that power up btw).
@@yesno6050 Even THEN Wargreymon would struggle vs Machinedramon Normally. Remember, he was reverted to Koromon in a Single hit, and that was WITH the power up.
It's beyond me how I missed out on this video for so long, having fallen in love with Digimon since I first came across it and being addicted to WatchMojo top ten videos.
Myotismon may not have been the most powerful, but I agree with him as number one villain. He has a mix of style, cunning, and he's capable and willing to do his own work at times.
I love Digimon and some of the Antagonists were pretty tight. I think Kurata(Data Squad) and The D-Reaper(Tamers) needed to be a bit higher because how much they were a threat to both worlds. I can't say More to #1 and Daemon even though he was not shown as much, but even #1 was afraid of him.
Daemon only lost because the plot demanded it. The kids had absolutely no way of beating him. Sk they somehow managed to open a gate to the Dark Ocean. Personally, I call that a technical win.
I'm glad Digimon is getting notice more as well as good to see they're making a great amount of money with Tri making around 200 million with Part 1(Reunion) in Japan. Next Digimon video should be top 5 protagonist.
Same here and I glad it is getting noticed which is definitely a good thing because I did remember watching digimon with my cousin when I younger including Digimon: the movie which I did enjoy by the way and I am very curious, but what is your favorite Digimon cause my favorite is Veemon ! ❤️❤️❤️
Beelzemon being on this list is pretty funny since he's been a good guy in Digimon works far, far more often than being evil. Like, if the Seven Great Demon Lords show up somewhere, there's an excellent chance Beelzemon is gonna switch sides at some point.
Well, S4 was tied with 02 for 2nd last place with 50 episodes, with Saver's claiming last place with 48. For reference, 01 had 54, and Tamers had 51.Spoilers for Frontier below: As much as I adore Frontier (was the Season I watched the most on morning TV, I liked the humans becoming the digimon thing, I liked the character relations and development), I think it felt longer because it had so much filler in the 2nd half. 1st half had 1 episode dedicated to a Spirit, and there was plenty of story set up to dedicate episodes to. Then the 2nd half of the season, majority of the episodes were the DigiDestined chasing after the Royal Knights and having their asses handed to them; although eventually story kicks in, being that the DigiDestined being human, they are able to grow naturally and become stronger, whereas the Royal Knights (being Data) can only grow following the laws of the Digital World - data absorption and powering up.
That's YOUR opinion tho I do believe Pokemon is better but i don't believe digamon is a rip off but .. it's really annoyed me when every digamon has mon at tge end of the their name
What made Apocalymon terrifying was how elemental he felt. He was the natural result of the digital world's own evolution, thus he made sense as the final antagonist of the first series. The D-Reaper was the first villain that truly scared me though.
What made Myotismon truly merciless was his possession of Yukio Oikawa. He ruthlessly took over and manipulated a grieving man and turned him into little more than a slave, causing all sorts of havoc across both worlds, all the while unknowing of the dark force that caused him to commit the following acts of cruelty: 1. Manipulating Ken following his brother's demise. 2. Child abduction. 3. Blatantly breaking the barriers between of plains of existence. 4. Murder. 5. Torture. 6. Declaring war. And so much more. The fact that Oikawa was taken advantage of is what really irks me. Grieving and depressed people are the most vulnerable and easiest to control. Myotismon took a vulnerable person and made him commit a laundry list of atrocities for the digital Dracula's own insane ambitions, tossing him out like trash when he was done with him.
Blackwargreymon was/is a real badass. He was the best antagonist of the series. Great character development during the story and the (decent) "dark warior" design makes him look unique 😎
the fact that they didnt use game,manga and some of the movie villains of digimon is enough for me to say that they were lazy ZeedMillenniummon would had been 1st place easely since the guy basically created the digimon emperor that they rated 2nd place lol
He more of a grey charater, that stands in between light and darkness, thus BlackWarGreymon is pretty much a ani-hero, yet for the most part of the series he was a villian to the Digidestined, so he can be on this list, its just like Ken, he got redeemed but chose to pay the uiltmate price to prevent a great evil from entering the Digital World, much like Wizardmon paid the price to protect Gatomon & Kari
Even in Frontier they killed Kouichi, who has cat-like spirits. It's an ongoing sick joke to kill the feline Digimon every season. Usually it's Leomon.
Yes... Unfortunately, FF probably wouldn't allow it. I always call him Kefka due to the fact that he may of just transferred to the ditigital world after getting destroyed in Final Fantasy. It would make sense.
My favorite of the Dark Masters is always Puppetmon. (rather his version that used guns, was more evil) Hmm. Guess it is acceptable Myositmon is #1, seeing he came back more times than any other major villain. But for evil, I like the cliche in name & meaning of Lucemon taking from Lucifur. Both a fallen angel.
Nah Piedmon was the scariest villain. Nothing from Pokemon really scared me (except the urban legend about Lavender Town's music driving people to suicide), but in Digimon, they weren't afraid of scaring kids. Piedmon was a walking nightmare.
Ohhhh I can't believe you created this..... I remember how in my childhood our tv came out with Pokemon and I was watching and it was good... but then they came with Digimon..... and I was like totally obsessed...... but I only saw the first group of them..... I was trying to watch the other group but it wasn't the same anymore....
it also had actors who fit the characters and decided not to insult the audience by leaving the setting in japan. Also go back and watch nearly any dub pre cowboy bebop and you'll see they did the exact same thing. It just needs a redub with the same cast, but a more faithful script and the ost which oddly enough is what the dub of Tri is doing for the most part.
AnimeMasterManWND yes, I know that english dub also ruined DB, One Piece, Pokémon, Sonic X, Beyblade, Shaman King, Card Captor Sakura and others with a poop OST, I am from Latain America and with DB, Digimon, Shaman King, Card Captor Sakura, etc, we have the OP dubbed and original OST, and is a really good experience, the digirap is cancer and hey digimon very unfitting, if we didn't count that is a mediocre song like the best Pokémon dub openings... Why we didn't get a Mezase Pokémon dub?
Nx57ytre Actually the kept a lot of the more serious moments serious later on. With each actor doing a damn good job. Especially Tia's when he had that flashback where his sister almost died
I think Diaboromon was done bad here by being an honourable mention, he flat out launched nukes at the kids, beat Wargreymom and Metalgarurumon and then Omnimon when he returned
@@Phoenix-King-ozai He would of beaten Myotismon in a 1 v 1 fight I can see Myotismon becoming a keychain, heck if all 4 if the Dark master were together Myotismon wouldn't of last a second against them
@@gigacan4357 what man please Myotismon is a way better villain than puppetmon who acts like a child and a dinosaur made outta the scrap yard named Machinedramon
Kurata to me in the best villain in the entire franchise, that guy was just pure nuts. He literally killed Digimon and took down some of the most powerful ones at that, put a bomb necklace around Thomas's sister's neck just to make Thomas cooperate with him. At the end he even almost caused the destruction of both worlds by ripping a hole through the space-time continuum. He really proved why us humans are the worst type of monsters in the universe.
Yes, Myotismon/Vamdemon is probably the biggest threat the “DigiDestined” faced in the anime series, but EVERY true Digimon fan knows the 1# spot goes to Millenniumon. He’s essentially a time-travelling God and is responsible for the events of Adventure 1 & 2, and to a lesser extent is present in Tamers as well. He’s the true antagonist and source of all evil, and has one of the most convoluted but intricate storylines of any villain in the franchise.
I would never call BlackWarGreymon a villain. He was confused about his origin and purpose and identity. He was born from and for chaos and destruction and didn't know what else he could use to define himself while still searching for just that, something to define him beyond destruction. I honestly found him the more appealing of the two WarGreymons. Sure Tai's is a lovable goof while in Rookie form and a badass warrior for justice when in Mega but he always knew what/who he was and what his purpose for being was. The fact the BlackWarGreymon had to uncover that really hits home. Also it's funny that while you can't argue that Beelzemon was a bad guy, he's still got to be, probably, one of the most loved digimon the franchise has. Seriously, the guys design, origin and basic thing of being a demon lord should make him an unrepentant villain but he's so well written and he stole hearts as Impmon and Beelzemon that I think a digimon series did cast him as one, they would get so much hate they would never recover.

Watchmojo made a video of Top 10 Digimon villians,
Digisee
Digihear
Digiknowitwascoming?!
Memories :D
Never clicked on a video so fast in my life
I kinds liked Kurata more than Ken. Or hated. But I completely agree that Myotismon is the best Digimon villain.
This was my childhood along with Pokemon.
Thundershot 64 Pokemon had the better game but Digimon had a badass series!
Didn't age well however.
Thundershot 64 yh but u look at it now pokemon is still big but has had no real improvements like ageing for example and digimon has never kept the same exciting feel as the original but tri is starting to look good just tamers and fusion let it down abit
shane ives-keeler I think that's why I stopped watching after the first two season cause after that everything was a big let down until I saw tri
Thundershot 64 mine was only digimon no pokémon
Machinedramon was a total badass
Tony The Tiger ikr
but got one shotted by wolverine-mon
@@youzonk7692 Only because of a Power up he got from Kari (somehow). Without it, he would have been deleted (Wargreymon was reverted to Koromon after a SINGLE hit from Machinedramon and had a scar left over. That was WITH that power up btw).
@@StarlightMagician one word, dramon killers
@@yesno6050 Even THEN Wargreymon would struggle vs Machinedramon Normally. Remember, he was reverted to Koromon in a Single hit, and that was WITH the power up.
It's beyond me how I missed out on this video for so long, having fallen in love with Digimon since I first came across it and being addicted to WatchMojo top ten videos.
Myotismon may not have been the most powerful, but I agree with him as number one villain. He has a mix of style, cunning, and he's capable and willing to do his own work at times.
Does Piedmon remind anyone else of Kefka from Final Fantasy 6?
I love Digimon and some of the Antagonists were pretty tight. I think Kurata(Data Squad) and The D-Reaper(Tamers) needed to be a bit higher because how much they were a threat to both worlds. I can't say More to #1 and Daemon even though he was not shown as much, but even #1 was afraid of him.
Daemon only lost because the plot demanded it. The kids had absolutely no way of beating him. Sk they somehow managed to open a gate to the Dark Ocean. Personally, I call that a technical win.
Daemon...the lore is deep
I agree, then again the reason they are so low is that neither are technically digimons.
Pidmon laugh
Sora: I am getting really tired of that laugh!
The Dark Masters and Apocalymon were BAD ASS and so worth waking up for on Saturday mornings! Also Skullgreymon and Devimon were dope af.
Clowns > vampires when considering phobia therefor
Piedmon> Myotismon
Blotboutamon
I'm glad Digimon is getting notice more as well as good to see they're making a great amount of money with Tri making around 200 million with Part 1(Reunion) in Japan. Next Digimon video should be top 5 protagonist.
Oh. Hi.
TheAbsol Lmao hi Absol😂
Don't forget about the games.
JOSEWVJ True Cyber Sleuth was a good game hopefully they keep it up in the future.
Same here and I glad it is getting noticed which is definitely a good thing because I did remember watching digimon with my cousin when I younger including Digimon: the movie which I did enjoy by the way and I am very curious, but what is your favorite Digimon cause my favorite is Veemon ! ❤️❤️❤️
Digimon is way better than Pokemon. Digimon is about quality over quantity ;)
digimon and pokemon are both as good in my opinion
i like both Equally. ^w^
I agree :) and the anime has a more mature theme, granted the dub is only saved by nostalgia
Forget the nostalgic... is FAR better anime especially 01 02 and Tamers in my opinion
But the ash roasts are so goood man
Beelzemon being on this list is pretty funny since he's been a good guy in Digimon works far, far more often than being evil. Like, if the Seven Great Demon Lords show up somewhere, there's an excellent chance Beelzemon is gonna switch sides at some point.
I memories are flooding back. Having various villains in seasons 1-3 sold me over pokemon.
it fucked me up when wizardmon died
digimin blade I laughed when he died
I never clicked on a video so fast!Faster than the season of Digimon frontier
dashawn burnett I AM THE ONE! I AM THE ONE!
dashawn burnett season 4 was my favorite
omg me too
Pretty sure season 4 had one of the most episodes for a season
Well, S4 was tied with 02 for 2nd last place with 50 episodes, with Saver's claiming last place with 48. For reference, 01 had 54, and Tamers had 51.Spoilers for Frontier below:
As much as I adore Frontier (was the Season I watched the most on morning TV, I liked the humans becoming the digimon thing, I liked the character relations and development), I think it felt longer because it had so much filler in the 2nd half.
1st half had 1 episode dedicated to a Spirit, and there was plenty of story set up to dedicate episodes to. Then the 2nd half of the season, majority of the episodes were the DigiDestined chasing after the Royal Knights and having their asses handed to them; although eventually story kicks in, being that the DigiDestined being human, they are able to grow naturally and become stronger, whereas the Royal Knights (being Data) can only grow following the laws of the Digital World - data absorption and powering up.
And theres people that still believe Digimon is a rip off of Pokemon, Digimon is far better
The Pokémon games are better, but Digimon always had the better TV presence.
Now Digimon games are much better..
Rodimus Almost anything is a Pokemon Ripoff now a days, YuGiOh, Dragon Quest, Persona, Yokai Watch, Pikmin, ect.
When a pokemon evolves it can smash a mountain, when a digimon evolves THERE IS NO MOUNTAIN
That's YOUR opinion tho I do believe Pokemon is better but i don't believe digamon is a rip off but .. it's really annoyed me when every digamon has mon at tge end of the their name
I have to be honest the villains from the first season were badass and awesome
What made Apocalymon terrifying was how elemental he felt. He was the natural result of the digital world's own evolution, thus he made sense as the final antagonist of the first series. The D-Reaper was the first villain that truly scared me though.
but above all Piedmon, 💗
I like how unlike other human villains Kurata wasn’t dealing with grief or brainwashed.
What made Myotismon truly merciless was his possession of Yukio Oikawa. He ruthlessly took over and manipulated a grieving man and turned him into little more than a slave, causing all sorts of havoc across both worlds, all the while unknowing of the dark force that caused him to commit the following acts of cruelty:
1. Manipulating Ken following his brother's demise.
2. Child abduction.
3. Blatantly breaking the barriers between of plains of existence.
4. Murder.
5. Torture.
6. Declaring war.
And so much more. The fact that Oikawa was taken advantage of is what really irks me. Grieving and depressed people are the most vulnerable and easiest to control. Myotismon took a vulnerable person and made him commit a laundry list of atrocities for the digital Dracula's own insane ambitions, tossing him out like trash when he was done with him.
All Oikawa wanted to do was visit the Digital World with his best friend and have his own partner.😢
thanks for posting an ideal video, I love digimon so much 💙💚💛
black wargreymon is more of a anti hero and so is beelzemon.
I Agree with you
True, but left their marks in the series, big marks
They were introduced as antagonists, just like the digimon emperor.
Still ended up as anti heros
Digimon the anime Is way better than the Pokémon anime
Truth!
@@Helaw0lf true but in games... lest not talk about digimon games
@@derickgv Hah! You meant that from Alfredo. I said nothing about games.
@@Helaw0lf ups sorry
True.
Except XYZ
Blackwargreymon was/is a real badass. He was the best antagonist of the series. Great character development during the story and the (decent) "dark warior" design makes him look unique 😎
I'm 23 and lemme tell you I'd still watch jetix if it was on ABC family 😭😭😭😭
Terry Hamilton I'm 22 and agree
I'm about a month away from turning 30, and I agree.
Same I'm so glad that I grew up on digimon is my childhood
DIGIMON!
DIGITAL MONSTERS!
DIGIMON ARE THE CHAMPIONS!
Change in to ultimate
Warp digivolve, Bio merge, burst change, DNA digivolve, ancient spirit evolution, great/final fusion. Master forms activated.
My favorite Digimon TV shows are Adventure 1 (Digimon Season 1) and Adventure 2 (Digimon Season 2). I never cared much for the later Digimon shows.
More honorable mentions:
- dagomon
- milleniumon
- gravimon
- pinochimon
- quartzmon
Millenniumon doesn’t deserve to be on the list not yet
So happy that in 2017 videos about the series are still popping up
You know someone who loves digimon prepared this list since Myotismon is number 1. Good job
WHERE IS LADYDEVIMON??!!She had the best girl fight EVER
Itzel Montalvo because it was a cat fight?
oh I get it
Ollie Nix a great one tho
to be true yes
her and SkullSatamon (even though he's just a Daemon's minion) should be here...
BlackWarGreymon doesn't really count because in the end he was a hero
And if you wanted to count him you'd probably have to make him an honorable mention
PKMN Hunter Drake don't forget Duskmon
antihero
the fact that they didnt use game,manga and some of the movie villains of digimon is enough for me to say that they were lazy ZeedMillenniummon would had been 1st place easely since the guy basically created the digimon emperor that they rated 2nd place lol
He more of a grey charater, that stands in between light and darkness, thus BlackWarGreymon is pretty much a ani-hero, yet for the most part of the series he was a villian to the Digidestined, so he can be on this list, its just like Ken, he got redeemed but chose to pay the uiltmate price to prevent a great evil from entering the Digital World, much like Wizardmon paid the price to protect Gatomon & Kari
RIP Leomon always getting killed in every series
Even in Frontier they killed Kouichi, who has cat-like spirits. It's an ongoing sick joke to kill the feline Digimon every season. Usually it's Leomon.
Piedmon also had the terrifying ability to turn people and digimon into keychains...
7:35 Funny how Lilithmon looked embarrassed with her appearance. The trumpet sound was funny too.
One of the most essential facts of life is that digimon >pokemon
barry allen agreed
the pokemon games are better though
barry allen digimon has the better show
But Pokémon has the better games
Pokemon games are always the same
yes the anime is way better
Did anyone else secretly wish they called Piedmon Kefkamon instead?
Same.....never saw any of this series though....only thing I know of the D-Reaper and that thing alone is terrifying
kinda reminds me of hisoka
FUCKING YES OMG
Yes... Unfortunately, FF probably wouldn't allow it. I always call him Kefka due to the fact that he may of just transferred to the ditigital world after getting destroyed in Final Fantasy. It would make sense.
I keep imagining him bein voiced by mark hamill instead
My favorite of the Dark Masters is always Puppetmon. (rather his version that used guns, was more evil)
Hmm. Guess it is acceptable Myositmon is #1, seeing he came back more times than any other major villain.
But for evil, I like the cliche in name & meaning of Lucemon taking from Lucifur. Both a fallen angel.
Nah Piedmon was the scariest villain. Nothing from Pokemon really scared me (except the urban legend about Lavender Town's music driving people to suicide), but in Digimon, they weren't afraid of scaring kids. Piedmon was a walking nightmare.
Ohhhh I can't believe you created this..... I remember how in my childhood our tv came out with Pokemon and I was watching and it was good... but then they came with Digimon..... and I was like totally obsessed...... but I only saw the first group of them..... I was trying to watch the other group but it wasn't the same anymore....
The Digimon Worst Villain?. The English Dub.
Nx57ytre it's not that bad just hasn't aged well
AnimeMasterManWND not bad?, the dub ruined the OST and Dialogues
it also had actors who fit the characters and decided not to insult the audience by leaving the setting in japan. Also go back and watch nearly any dub pre cowboy bebop and you'll see they did the exact same thing. It just needs a redub with the same cast, but a more faithful script and the ost which oddly enough is what the dub of Tri is doing for the most part.
AnimeMasterManWND yes, I know that english dub also ruined DB, One Piece, Pokémon, Sonic X, Beyblade, Shaman King, Card Captor Sakura and others with a poop OST, I am from Latain America and with DB, Digimon, Shaman King, Card Captor Sakura, etc, we have the OP dubbed and original OST, and is a really good experience, the digirap is cancer and hey digimon very unfitting, if we didn't count that is a mediocre song like the best Pokémon dub openings... Why we didn't get a Mezase Pokémon dub?
Nx57ytre Actually the kept a lot of the more serious moments serious later on. With each actor doing a damn good job. Especially Tia's when he had that flashback where his sister almost died
Myotismon is the best!!
Vamdemon*
Im thinking also..as groving in big evil beast with truly bad power who be kill everyvone... pn earth.. im sure
I Loved Impmon Soo Much That I Remember Crying When He Killed Leomon!! 😅
I think Diaboromon was done bad here by being an honourable mention, he flat out launched nukes at the kids, beat Wargreymom and Metalgarurumon and then Omnimon when he returned
I’m just glad Etomon got an honorable mention I loved his Voice Actor!
Piedmon should be number 1. he had no remorse, as evil as they come and just owned the digidestines single handed.
Yup agree he should of listed the 4 dark masters as number 1 together they were basically unbeatable
He good, but is no Myotismon
@@Phoenix-King-ozai He would of beaten Myotismon in a 1 v 1 fight I can see Myotismon becoming a keychain, heck if all 4 if the Dark master were together Myotismon wouldn't of last a second against them
@@gigacan4357 what man please Myotismon is a way better villain than puppetmon who acts like a child and a dinosaur made outta the scrap yard named Machinedramon
@@davesylvindeckerii4528 Yeah but not better than Piedmon
Wait, Myotismon...
Blonde
Vampire
Stylish
Powerful
Refused to die a few times and comes back in a sequel?
JESUS CHRIST ITS JUST DIO
kono dio da
iS tHat A Jojo reference?
They say the eighth digidestined will destroy me and goal is to make sure that never happens even if it kills me AND EVERYONE ON MY SIDE
That bought memories..
Kurata to me in the best villain in the entire franchise, that guy was just pure nuts. He literally killed Digimon and took down some of the most powerful ones at that, put a bomb necklace around Thomas's sister's neck just to make Thomas cooperate with him. At the end he even almost caused the destruction of both worlds by ripping a hole through the space-time continuum. He really proved why us humans are the worst type of monsters in the universe.
I know we are debating who was better, but did anyone else laugh at that scene with Lilithmon freaking out?😂😂😂
Digimon when My parents walks in
number 1
myotismon
just like i thought
Be real everyone Black wargreymon was just the Mewtwo of Digimon
6:28
*Wargreymon has been hit*
what is it tho
all i could think back then was "no shit sherlock"
Yes Kari, and we are in the Digital World where Digimon live. And we are kids.
The Ender MON DOWN MON DOWN!!!!
Thanks a lot, narrator!!
Glad to see Kurata on the list, but he really should switch place with the Digimon Emperor.
Lmao at 7:15.. The evil laugh turned into a cough when the smoke came.
Digimon for the win!
Not gonna lie
As a kid I had a crush on Wargreymon
i would feel bad for you...
but i cant
i just cant xD
Iiiiii....have no words
Nani
...
My favorite digimon villians are Metalmeramon, Megadramon & Metaletemon
You nailed the top three for sure.
normally dont watch watchmojo, but this is an exception
Piedmon v. Myotismon would be a battle I'd pay to see.
Piedmon stops hard, I don't even want to bring Choas Piedmon into the discussion as that would be overkill.
@@wingzero2348 Wait....there's another form?!? Oh do tell.
underrated show
I felt really bad for Ken. He had to live in his brother's shadow and was the chosen one for Wormon and the crest of kindness until it was too late.
So let's just pretend that the darkspore had nothing to do with it
For once, I totally agreed with the WatchMojo countdown.
I really am glad that Digimon is funny and serious at the same time.
Oh wow I juser got back into digimon XD
you could do top 10 anime clowns. piedmon and hisoka (from hunter x hunter) could make that list in my opinion
Yes, Myotismon/Vamdemon is probably the biggest threat the “DigiDestined” faced in the anime series, but EVERY true Digimon fan knows the 1# spot goes to Millenniumon. He’s essentially a time-travelling God and is responsible for the events of Adventure 1 & 2, and to a lesser extent is present in Tamers as well. He’s the true antagonist and source of all evil, and has one of the most convoluted but intricate storylines of any villain in the franchise.
I like Digimon, seen the TV show, still waiting for a video game to come out, nice video, 😎
Like Digimon or Like Adventure?
There are lots of video games tbh
I would never call BlackWarGreymon a villain. He was confused about his origin and purpose and identity. He was born from and for chaos and destruction and didn't know what else he could use to define himself while still searching for just that, something to define him beyond destruction. I honestly found him the more appealing of the two WarGreymons. Sure Tai's is a lovable goof while in Rookie form and a badass warrior for justice when in Mega but he always knew what/who he was and what his purpose for being was. The fact the BlackWarGreymon had to uncover that really hits home.
Also it's funny that while you can't argue that Beelzemon was a bad guy, he's still got to be, probably, one of the most loved digimon the franchise has. Seriously, the guys design, origin and basic thing of being a demon lord should make him an unrepentant villain but he's so well written and he stole hearts as Impmon and Beelzemon that I think a digimon series did cast him as one, they would get so much hate they would never recover.
