8/2/2019 JK Rowling is not a plagiarist: Anime/Manga vs. Bogside Artists

1/30

VS.

William Kelly, one of the Bogside Artists have accused JK Rowling (the author of Harry

Potter series) of plagiarizing his book "Travels with Li Po" but he is wrong. There are


2/30

three factors that shows that Mr. Kelly's claim is wrong that first off his 'stolen' ideas and

elements are very commonly used on other fictional works, second that his book is not

the only source in the world to get ideas from and third there are a lot more than plenty

sources where Rowling could have gotten her ideas from other than Kelly's book. The

Anime/Manga industry are examples those three possibilities in many countless ways and

they example of thousand of other works because they used those commonly ideas and

elements in their works (and this is just the Anime/Manga industry alone since there are

other works and sources outside of Anime and Manga that examples my three

possibilities too). In this blog I will go through one by one of each idea or element that

Mr. Kelly accused Rowling of stealing from him and then used several Anime or Manga

series that also have that idea or element too.

ESTABLISHED AS LOST, ABANDONED, A MIRACULOUS SURVIVOR

LINKED TO ANOTHER WORLD. HE IS THE CHOSEN ONE.InuYashaby

Rumiko Takahashi do have this idea or element. Inuyasha at the start become an

abandoned character when he was pinned to a tree for 50 years until Kagome free him.

Kagome is a reincarnation of a known and powerful priestess so that would count as a

"chosen one" and Kagome is from another world. Pokemon has this "chosen one" idea

during the "Power of One" movie and Ash Ketchum becomes a connection to many of

philosophy in many of the movies. Monster Ranger has this idea too when Genki Sakura

becomes a chosen one from another world. Sailor Moon have this idea too when

Usaga/Serena is the chosen one to be Sailor Moon and she is reincarnated survivor linked

to another world. Yu-Gi-Oh Yugi (the little one) is referred to as a Chosen One, though in

this case, a more appropriate description might be chosen vesselas bis body provides the

spirit within the Millennium Puzzle with a physical connection to reality allowing him to

save the world. Though Yugi turns out to be the one who will defeat the pharaoh in battle

allowing him to move on to the afterlife. Yugi tends to have moremessianicassociations

to his name than Yami Yugi. Naruto: It is revealed in part 2 that Jiraiya was told one of

his students would be the one who would either destroy the world or save it. He

originally thought it might be Pein, but before he dies he thinks it might be Naruto

instead. Later Tsunade also refers to Naruto as the child of prophecy. Goes against the

big speech Naruto gave Neji in part 1 about not believing in fate and destiny at least. Fate

and destiny aren't the same thing. Jiraiya had a choice, he could refuse his destiny, and in

the end his choices would lead to his student (The Chosen One) either saving or

destroying the world. Neji argued that fate didn't let you make any choices at all.

Another "stolen" idea or element is the IT IS ESTABLISHED THAT HE IS BADLY

BULLIED AT SCHOOL. " Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple" have this bullying tactic

since at the beginning Kenichi is constantly being bullied and beaten up. Rurouni

Kenshin has this idea with Yahiko Myojin and Seta Sojiro. Although they are not at

school (for Yahiko at the beginning) but they are constantly bullied until Yahiko gets

rescued by Kenshin and Seta killed her bullied family when Shishio gives him a sword to

kill with. Yu Yu Hakusho falls under this category as two arrogant school staffantagonized several students and abuse their power around their students until the school

principal gets after them. Naruto examples this strongly as Naruto is bullied due to

prejudice and his connection of the Nine-Tailed Fox. He also get antagonized by his

fellow classmates and comrades such as Sasuke Uchiha and Neji Hyuga at the beginning.

Pokemon starts this off as Ash Ketchum is antagonized by his rival Gary Oak.

CAST OF THE SERIES INTRODUCED. Come on, do I really have to explain this

one. When does an Anime or Manga series DOESN'T have a cast? ForRurouni

Kenshin, the series has Kenshin Himura, Kaoru Kamiya, Sanosuke Sagara, Yahiko

Myojin (my personal favorite Anime/Manga character) and many more at . I know

wikipedia isn't a reliable source but come on, prove to me those characters aren't in

Rurouni Kenshin. Inuyasha has the cast of Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Shippo,

Kirara, Sesshomaru, Koga, Kohaku, Kikyo, Rin and etc. If any Anime and Manga fans

out there, just think of any series and think of all of the major characters, that's your "Cast

of Series" right there. I am willing to bet $100 that more than 80% of the Manga and

Anime industry do have this idea.

FINDS HIMSELF IN A SURREAL WORLD. I would resort to Alice in Wonderland

or The Wizard of Oz but this is Anime/Manga vs. Travels with Li Po where I choose to

use Anime and Manga for this article... Uh, never mind. Inuyasha uses this idea by

4/30

Kagome traveling between worlds or time. Spirited Away (technically not a Anime but

some people sees it an Anime so it may count) has this idea when Chihiro traveled to the

spirit world and do ever what she can to get her and her parents back to the real world. I

notice that Hayao Miyazaki uses this idea or elements in most of his works. Dragon Ball

series uses this idea a bunch of times when they travel to different planets or when they

die. Monster Rangers has this idea or element too as Genki gets transported into a the

Monster Rancher world, twice. Tsubasa Chroniclesbest examples this as it is part of the

plot and concept of this series when they need to travel to bizarre world to bizarre world

to retrieve Sakura's feathers. Miyuki-chan in WonderlandISAlicewith even more sexual

symbolism andAlice in Sexlandgoes the same route but is downrightHentai. InMy

Neighbor Totoro, Mei first meets Totoro after following a small white rabbit-like creature

through a tunnel. Digimon Adventure, though that case is more Down The Random

Tsunami/Waterfall.Digimon Tamers offers a more literal example halfway through the

season. Ouran High School Host Clubhas an episode that parodiesAlice in Wonderland.

Harukanaru Toki no Naka de - Hachiyou Shoustarts off a bit likeInu Yasha, with the

main character carried through an old well by theDragon-Godinto aworldthat looks

like a version ofancient Kyotowith the addition ofrandom monsters,the Four Godsand

various formsof magic. Fushigi Yuugiarguably falls under this category, when Miyaka

gets trapped in a story book. It's much like Inuyasha in the sense that she seems to be

trapped in the feudal era of the book. Heart No Kuni No Alicehas the White Rabbit Peter

kidnapping Alice and forcibly throwing her through the rabbit hole. She ends up stuck in

Wonderland.

COMMUNES WITH A WILD ANIMAL.Pokmonbest examples of having this idea

or element, since it is the entire concept of the series since the first episode since some of

the Pokemon are animal like creatures such as Pikachu, the main Pokemon of the series is

a mouse.InuYashaexamples this since most of the characters through out in the entire

series are half wild animal and demon, such as Shippo and Koga.Cardcaptor Sakura

examples this when Keroberos can be a form of a bear or a tiger.Monster Rancher

(anime)examples this too as some of the characters or enemies that they meet are forms

or creatures of wild animals. The Dragon Ball series has this ideas and element too since

some of the characters are wild animals like creatures.

Kimba the White Lion, anyone? Not to mention that they literally all speak toHUMANS! And they learn the dub language in like 5 seconds!

Animals in the Magical Kingdom can talk inHimechan No Ribonsuch as havingbirds as messengers.

Chopper fromOne Piece. He's a reindeer that can not only talk to humans, butother animals as well. Of course, this is because he had eaten a devil's fruit which

gives him this ability. There's also Pappug, a starfish who learned to talkbecause

of a pun related to the pronunciation of "I'm a human" (hito desu) and "starfish"

(hitode). Trafalgar Law also has talking polar bear, Bepo, on his crew, thoughwe're not sure what his deal is yet. Recently, a talking lion named Pekoms has

been introduced, but how he is able to talk is as much of a mystery as with Bepo.

The entire cast ofMori No Ando, considering they know which words humanswould use and what words animals would use.

Luna, Artemis and Diana fromSailor Moon. In one of the Sailor Moon films(Sailor Moon S: The Movie) Lunabecomes humanthrough magic.

o This is slightly different in the original manga. While the first time Luna ischanged into a human is presented in the same way as it is on screen, later

it is established that all three of the feline characters can take on human

form at times of great crisis, because they areactually aliens. A villain

from their home planet is presented as being aHuman Alienat all times.

Why the trio is limited to times of crisis is unknown. Or why only they

have the Crescent marks on their forehead that when damaged turns them

into ordinary cats. Or why Diana keeps her tail in human form but her

parents don't.

Fuji, Yankumi's dog inGokusen, is a slight subversion of this trope he runsthrough aninternal monologueand has surprisingly human thought processes, but

he's actually making strange dog sounds and the other characters in the show don't

understand him.

o He also walks upright and wears a jacket.Nobody notices this. Teika Midarezaki fromKyouran Kazoku Nikki, who is a talking lion. He's very

proud of this.

Generally,Wolf's Raincan be considered this. Telepathy or not, they can verballycommunicate with humans and this is how the majority would describe them

anyway. Not only can the eponymous wolves speak telepathically, they use

illusions to disguise themselves as humans. When they fight, the illusions are

understandably dropped and they are very clearly wolves.

Every dog inGinga Nagareboshi Ginand its sequel,Ginga Densetsu Weed. Jillas the fox and Pokota, the, um... critter fromThe Slayers. Shamisen, Kyon's cat inSuzumiya Haruhi, for a short time. Of course, normal

cats don't talk and this is allHaruhi's fault.

Chamo fromMahou Sensei Negima!! it's heavily implied that he was a mage thatbroke the laws and is being punished by being trapped in an animal form.

Muta inThe Cat Returns. Although he does begin to sway toward being aFunnyAnimalwhen at the Cat Bureau, and also in the Kingdom of Cats.

Clara (a cat) and Poipoider (a porpoise) inMars Daybreak. Poipoider's ability tospeak stems from translators built into thePowered Armorhe uses to walk on

land, but Clara is able to understand him even outside of it.

Happy and Charle fromFairy Tailare two talking cats. More accurately, are partof a race of talking, cat-like creatures called Exceed, who hatch from eggs and use

magic to grow wings and fly.

Emusa, the pink alien bunny thing inTransformers Zone. Ruby fromRave Master, who's most likely a penguin. The title character ofOmamori Himarican appear as one, though she usually

prefers to appear as a human orCat Girl

Narutohas multiple animals, such as toads, dogs, and giant slug just to name afew. Most but not all of them aresummons.

Tama fromHayate the Combat Butler, who can only aspire to the importance ofbeing a mascot. He only talks to Hayate, and is only occasionally bipedal.

InAxis Powers Hetalia, Canada's bear Kumajiro and Iceland's puffin can talk.When the Nekotalia strips happened, all the nation cats can talk and at one point,

Japaneko talked to his master Japan, causing Japan to react with shock.

Kyuubei ofPuella Magi Madoka Magicasort of counts. He actuallycommunicates viaTelepathy, but is still perfectly fluent in Japanese, and

understands human speech just fine.Pity this doesn't also apply to his morals.

InWild Fangs, Gido is a sentient talking furball.

MUST PROVE HIS COURAGE. Um, ok how many heroes doesn't go on a dangerous

mission or task?Sailor Moonis one of the best Anime/Manga examples this as

Serena/Usagi when she cries, whines or fears of going into battle but at the end she goes

into battle anyway and defeat the villain or monster. Cardcaptor Sakura has this idea orelement as Sakura at the beginning fears and rejects her sudden duty to capture the cards

but then she prove her courage. Pokemon also have this idea or element by Ash Ketchum

when he does a dangerous task or stunt. Many ofHayao Miyazaki's heroes are in a

situation that they must prove their courage. Many of the supporting cast ofInuYasha

have to prove their courage at some point, for an example in a filler episode in the Anime

version that the seven or eight year old Rin had to retrieve a anti-poison berries while

going through against deadly demons, Kohaku started out as cowardly but little by little

he gets braver when he regains his memory and not afraid to take on demons, episode

162 examples that best. Kagome is one of the main characters that at first she was unsure

about taking on demons and finding the jewel shards but then she 'proves her courage' by

taking on the demons.Mobile Suit Gundamexamples this best as Amuro Ray first is

scared about the situation that he is in but then later he gets braver. He repeats this

process onZeta Gundamafter he loses faith in himself of going to war but the

Kobayashi family helps him to regain his confidence and proves his courage. Then again

this idea or element happens repeatedly in theGundamfranchise.Outlaw Staralso have

this idea or element when at the start Gene Starwin first cowers from battles while Jim

Hawking and Hilda fights his battles for him until Gene gains his courage and fights off

the enemies.

PERFORMS UNCONSCIOUS MAGICAL FEAT. InuYasha does have this idea or

element very strongly as many of the characters have numerous magical powers, by the

heroes or the villains. TheDragon Ballseries also have this idea or element very strongly

too as they use magical attacks to achieve their goals, not to mention the seven dragon

balls are also part of a magical feat. Naruto also have this idea or element strongly as a

huge majority of the characters use magical powers to achieve their objective or goals.

Cardcaptor Sakura has this idea and elements when Sakura Kinomoto uses magical

powers to capture cards for the first half of the series and the second series where she

uses her magic to turn the cards into star cards when she is under a situation. Syaoran Li

(one of my most favorite Anime characters behind Yahiko Myojin) uses also magic to

help Sakura on her tasks and trials. Pokemon most likely also have this idea or element

since there are a lot of magical acts from many of the Pokemon but it can be a science

measure.

MENTOR AND GUARDIAN.InuYasha does have this idea or element with mainly

Myoga, Totosai or Kaede when they influence InuYasha about his past or what direction

that he should choose. Both Myoga and Totosai are over 100 years old. Sometimes Kaede

is more Kagome's mentor than InuYasha's mentor. Cardcaptor Sakura has this idea or

element with Keroberos and Yue, Keroberos must explain Sakura and sometimes the

others the origins of the Clow Cards so they know what kind of situation they are heading

into.Narutohave this idea and element with Iruka Umino, Jiraiya and Kakashi are

among examples of mentors and guardians for Naruto throughout the series.Kenichi:

The Mightiest Discipleis taking on six mentors at once so this series is another fictional

work that has this 'mentor' idea or element.

Balgus inVision of Escaflowneis Van's Obi-Wan, albeit an Obi-Wan who canswinga sword over three metres long.

o Though a subversion in that neither one has ever even been in danger ofdying, despite the latter fighting one of the setting's strongest characters to

protect the protagonists at one point.

Kamina inTengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. And he's not immune toMentorOccupational Hazardeither.*sniff*

Shion, Aya's primary mentor in theWeiss KreuzRadio DramaEndless Rain,serves the role of The Obi-Wan including his death protecting Aya during a

mission gone wrong... but in the subsequentRadio DramaDramatic Precious, it

turns out he'd faked his death and has become aNietzsche WannabeBig Bad.

o Kikyou fromEndless Rain also qualifies as The Obi-Wan for Aya, downto playingSpirit Advisorin Aya's dreams following his death... which was

at Aya's hands, Kikyou also having performed aFace Heel Turnand gone

Ax Crazy. His visitations in Aya's dreams tend to involve him expressing

pleasure that Aya is becoming like him and will be joining him in Hell.

Baron Zepellin in the first part ofJojo's Bizarre Adventurenot only dies, butadmits he knew it would happen, becauseYou Can't Fight Fate.

Gennai fromDigimon Adventureacts as the mentor andMr. Exposition. In hisyounger days (and post-revitalization inDigimon Adventure 02), Gennai also

bears a striking resemblance to Obi-Wan Kenobi inEpisode I.

o In fact, young Gennai's robes are quite like that of a Jedi, to the point of heand his people being referred toby the fandomas the Jedi Knights.

The name says it all, really, (It's a soft "G"), though it is possiblethat this was a result of the dub adding shoutouts, as it was a hard

G in the original.

o Also inDigimon Adventure, but to a limited extent, Wizardmon plays theObi-Wan. It's his friendship and wisdom that results in Gatomon'sHeel

Face Turn. Oh, and then he dies.Heroic Sacrifice. And comes back as a

spirit in Season 2 to warn the protagonists.

Narutohas theThirdHokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, one of the more notableeldersinhis village (and in anime in general). He even dies at the hands of his renegade

student Orochimaru.

o We also have the recently lost Jiraya, and now Naruto is learning with histeacher, a frog, how to become as powerful as him.

o Kakashi himself is evolving into The Obi-Wan in his own way. Ironically,he's actually doing less mentoring than he used to, but recent events have

actually placed him in almost the exact same position as none other than

Obi-Wan Kenobihimself inEpisode 3, in regards to Sasuke. So he's being

less the trope, and more literallythe Obi-Wan.

Bonus points that Kakashi did technically get killed off (hell, heeven met his dead father in the afterlife!), only to get better after

Pein'sAss Pullof God.

Miyu (and later Mai) fromMai-Otomeserve as Obi-Wans to Arika, but bothcharacters ultimately survive.

InSamurai Deeper Kyo, Muramasa acts as Kyo's Obi-Wan. Kaito briefly acts as one in the first chapter/episode ofHunter Hunter, then

fully endorses this role at the beginning of the Chimera Ant Arc, biting it about

halfway.

Meta Knight more or less takes this role in theKirbyanime, among with a numberof other repurposed characters. Although he doesn't seem to have died yet, he's

made the odd non-fatalHeroic Sacrificefor Kirby's sake.

Sword Saint Shiba ofRave Masterpasses the titular role to Haru Glory and sendsHaru to the man best suited to repairing the Rave Master's blade after it's broken.

True to trope, he experiences anObi-Wan Momentupon his reunion with Haru.

It's subverted slightly in that Shiba dies by challenging Haru to a duel to the

death. Haru didn't directly kill him. The potion he took to restore his youth for the

fight did.

Subverted with Hiko Seijuro, Kenshin's master inRurouni Kenshin: he fullyexpects to die at Kenshin's hand after passing on the succession technique, but

Kenshin's reverse blade sword saves his life. Hiko then goes on to pull aBig

Damn Heroesmoment later in the arc, arriving in the nick of time to save

Kenshin's protege Yahiko from being killed.

Parodied inExcel SagawhenNabeshinappears to giveExcelthe techniqueneeded to defeat abowling-themed terrorist, complete withTraining Montage.

Afterwards, Excel gives the typical speech that one gives over the body of a fallen

mentor, despite Nabeshin's protests that he isn't dead.

Rakan inMahou Sensei Negima!becomes this to Negi. He later questions whetherNegi should be the type of "hero" who he'd be doing this for.

"You're not actin' much like a main character, are you? You're one of those

characters who dies holding off the enemies three chapters before the end of the

series!"

o He literally becomes The Obi-Wan, complete with spirit form, in Chapter279.

InOutlaw Star, "Hot Ice" Hilda served as lead character Gene's mentor until herHeroic Sacrificeagainst Tao Pirates, which she did byusing a bomb to blow up

the safety line keeping the pirates (and herself) from falling into a star.

Mentor? Check. The most best hitman in the world but does nothing except shootthe protagonist in the head? Checked.Mr. Exposition? Check. Dies? Yes, in the

future. Reborn, the home tutor of the protagonist inKatekyo Hitman Reborn!

looks awfully like one (though his size is much closer to Yoda).

Shouyou-sensei inGintamataught Gintoki, Katsura and Takasugi as children.They had extremely different reactions to his death, though.

Arguably,Death Note's Soichiro Yagami is this for Touta Matsuda. Genkai fromYu Yu Hakushoplays this to the letter. Yusuke even remarks that she

is the only person who ever taught him something worthwhile. Except she never

seems to stay very dead, or stop working even.

o In the manga, she dies at the start of the last chapter, apparently of old age. Father Remington fromChrono Crusade, who (once he's finished training

Rosette) is so determined to make sure that Rosette does things on her own power

that hepurposefully keeps it a secret from her when they happen to be traveling to

the same city, for fear she'll depend on him too much if she knew he was around.

However, when she gets in a bind he shows up to be aBig Damn Hero.

Soldier Blue fromToward The Terrafits this awfully well. Dragon Ball Z

o Piccolo plays this somewhat in the first arc where he decides to trainGohan, not only to get him ready for the Saiyans who were coming, but

also because he sensed his death is near and wants someone to pass on his

knowledge to. Of course, he's broughtBack from the Dead.

o In Trunks' timeline, Gohan fill this role to a T. He trains Trunks, and diesfighting the Androids, which causes Trunks to first go Super Saiyan.

Katsuhito mostly fits this trope inTenchi Universe, although he winds up onlybadly injured rather than dead.

With the exception that he merely makes his swords and doesn't train him in usingthem, since he's ablacksmith, and he doesn't travel along with him, this is Godo

fromBerserkand how he acts toward Guts. He lets Guts stay with him for a year

to train, gives him all sorts of neat weapons and equipment, and gives him plenty

of insight on personal ambitions and life in his own way. Heck, he's the only guy

that actually manages to make Gutsshut up and think about his actions for once

and puts him in his place, something that the Skull Knight can't even succeed in

doing. This is one of his last great feats before he dies of old age,something that

he is well aware of. Helampshadedthis when Guts comes back to his house for

the first time in two years to check on Casca. Because of all of this, Godo's in

Cool Old Guyterritory.

THE ENCHANTED FOREST.Pokemon has this idea and element very strongly when

Ash Ketchum and the group goes traveling through the forest where it is enchanted with

full of magical Pokemon and magical origins. InuYahsha also have this idea or element

strongly too as the main characters travel in a Japanese forest terrain and they encounter

enchanted demons or other enchanted occurrences. Monster Ranger also values this idea

or element strongly as there are enchanted monsters roaming through the forest that the

main characters travel through.

THE PHILOSOPHERS STONE. InuYasha have somewhat of this idea or element

since the magical Shikon Jewel since the jewel grants great power and it becomes one of

the major goals and plot for the entire series. Pokemon used this idea or element in the

second movie when Ash Ketchum not only need to find one magical stone, but three

magical stones. At the beginning of the series there are evolved stones where the

Pokemon can evolve by using stones. The Dragon Ball series also have a similar idea

and element with the dragon balls and half of the main plot of the series that the

characters must find seven crystal-like stones to make one or more wishes.

SATANIC VILLAIN.Many Anime/Manga series have this idea and elements since it is

one of the easiest and it is very common in fiction. InuYasha has this idea or element

very strongly since many of the enemies are demons, especially Naraku who is a demon

and the main satanic villain. TheDragon Ballseries have numerous satanic villains (as

Cell as my favorite of the Dragon Ball series) and they are all very heartless and deadly,even though some of them turned to the good side. Sailor Moon also have this idea or

element strongly since the series have countless of satanic villains such as Queen Beryl,

the Dark Moon Kingdom and etc. Naruto has numerous satanic villains such as

Orochimaru and they do a lot of vile things. Rurouni Kenshin do have a lot of satanic

villains up the yin-yang,Shishio Makotoend up my favorite one from the Rurouni

Kenshin series. Wolf's Rain has a few satanic villains in its time, hell I even think this is

one of the very few villains that actually killed or causes the death of all the main

characters. The Gundamfranchise has it fare share of satanic villains in many of its

series or arcs.

Berserkmainly has the Godhand, and Griffith post-Face Heel Turnin particular,asBig Bads, but several arcs of the manga have seen Guts going against other

servants of the Godhand. The Lost Children arc had Rosine, and the Conviction

arc had Bishop Mozgus, with the most recent arc focusing on Emperor Ganishka.

o However, the realBig Badis theIdea of Evil, the deity that created theGodhand. Its only appearance so far has been in achapter that the author

cut for spoiling too much, too early, but from the lone image we have of it,

it looks as though it will be a magnificent final opponent indeed.

For most ofBleach,Sosuke Aizenwas firmly entrenched as thesourceofalmostevery major conflict within the series, gleefully establishing himself as the

Daimos: Olban was the realPuppet Mastercaused the conflict in the story,manipulating everybody to achieve power.

Death Notetakes an unusual approach to this trope by making the main characterhimself the Big Bad.

o Ryukis theBigger Bad, since he's the one who dropped the Death Note inthe first place, causing all of the events in the series. Not much would've

changed if he left Light alone after dropping the notebook.

o The notebook itself could be considered this as well. Digimonhas the following, by series:

o Digimon Adventurehas Devimon, Etemon, Myostimon, Piedmon, andfinally Apocalymon

o Digimon Adventure 02has the Digimon Emperor, then Yukio Oikawa, andfinallyMyotismon, back in a more powerful form.

Well,"a more powerful form".o Digimon Tamersfirst had HYPNOS, then Zhuqiaomon, and after this the

D-Reaper. Impmon was originally intended to be this (which is why he's

portrayed in typicalBig Badfashion in the early promotional material),

but Konaka later changed his mind.

o Digimon Frontierhave Cherubimon and Lucemon.o Digimon X Evolutionhad Yggdrasil.o Digimon Savers/Data Squadhad Akihiro Kurata and finally Yggdrasil

(again).

o Digimon Xros Warshas Baguramon. TheDigimonmanga has the following:

Fist of the North Starhas Shin at the beginning, the man who engraved the sevenscars on Kenshiro chest and took his woman away. However,he only lasts 10

chapters in the manga(a bit longer in the TV series) and his role as Kenshiro's

for most of the manga (being supplanted only by Souther at one point).The later

half of the mangahas Governor Jakoh, aDirty Coward, followed by Kaioh,

Raoh'slong-lost brother.

17/30

o Mobile Suit Gundam: The Zabi family as a whole counts, thoughGihrenisThe Heavy, theDragon-in-Chief, and the de factoBig Bad.

o Zeta Gundam: Jamitov Hymem is the Big Bad for most of the show, butloses the position toPaptimus Sciroccoin the last five episodes.

o Gundam ZZ:Haman Khan, withGlemmy Totomaking a play for thisstatus in the last few episodes.

o Char's Counterattack: Char Aznable, of course.o Gundam F91: Carozzo "Iron Mask" Ronah.o Victory Gundam: Fonse Kagatie.o G Gundam: The Devil Gundam.o Gundam Wing: Duke Dermail is the Big Bad at first; after his exit the role

is split between Treize Khushreneda, Miliardo Peacecrat, and Quinze.

o Gundam X:Shagia and Olba Frost, with Shagia as the more senior of thetwo.

o Gundam: Gym Ghingnham.o Gundam SEED:Rau Le Creuset.o Gundam SEED Destiny:Gilbert Durandalo Gundam 00: Ribbons Almark.o Gundam Unicorn: Full Frontal.

The Claw fromGun X Swordis a sweet old man, with a track record of crimesagains the protagonists as long as his artificial right arm.Every single bad thing in

the series ultimately traces back to him.

InHigurashi no Naku Koro ni, theBig Badis nurse Miyo Takano, in what is aMilkman Conspiracy.

Naraku fromInu Yasha.o An even better example might be theShikonnoTama, when it's revealed

to have a mind of its ownone that isn't very nice.

o TheShikonnoTamais more likeApplied Phlebotinum. Dio Brando inJoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Every arc that doesn't feature him as the

main villain features one who is connected to him, however small. The Pillar Men

(Part 2) created the Stone Mask that turned Dio into a vampire, Yoshikage Kira
