* XanatosGambit: You read right. Of all people, PETE manages to pull out one of those in the end of Chapter 3, cementing his status of NotSoHarmlessVillain.

During the chaos, he tries to steal the Water Orb, a magical artifact necessary to stop the effects of the plague. However, he doesn't even care if he succeeds or not. Because his real plan was to force the Knights to call reinforcements, leaving the other towns defenseless so that he can release monsters hidden in pockets dimensions in them.]] Ingenious. [[spoiler:The only reason it fails was because [[BigGood Goku]] knew this tactic and acted accordingly to counter it.]]

* {{Ninja}}: Of course!

!Independents
These fellows aren't officially affiliated with the Saint Lords, but will show up to give our heroes trouble.

!![[Manga/OnePiece Buggy the Clown]]
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He may be {{Laughably Evil}}, but he can be a very dangerous foe for an unprepared Kyuu.
* DuelBoss: The first one for Kyuu, and a WakeUpCallBoss if you haven't been training him.
* LaughablyEvil
* VillainousHarlequin
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Once he's taken out by Pete, he's not been seen since. It's implied that he ran away from [=BlueLake=] Town.
* WildCard: In Chapter 3, he tries to steal the Water Orb, working against both the heroes and the other villains (the Boron Bandits and [[spoiler:Pete]], who are enemies themselves). His fight with [[spoiler:Pete]] [[NiceJobFixingItVillain even gives the heroes some time to reach the orb in time]].

* BonusBoss: Of the Phantom of the Theatre sidequest.
!![[VideoGame/TheWitchAndTheHundredKnight Metallia]]
* BlackMagicianGirl
* BonusBoss: Of The Swamp Witch sidequest.
* HairTriggerTemper: A few commentaries about the bad smell of her swamp and asking her to remove it are enough to throw her into a murderous rage.
* HeelFaceTurn: Sort of. After her defeat, she agrees to lay low and stop spreading her foul smell in the swamp. She will even give new quests to Kyuu.

!!Countess Rivka (OC)
* AristocratsAreEvil
* BonusBoss: Of the Behind the Façade sidequest.
* ControlFreak: She even goes as far as using a mind-control spell.
* TheEvilsOfFreeWill: Her motto.
* HumiliationConga: The end of the sidequest. She confronts the heroes and summons two powerful monsters to get rid of them. However, [[spoiler:it was a trap. [[TheDogBitesBack She's confronted by all the guards she used to brainwash and they annihilate her monsters]]. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Her last loyal guards run away]] and [[LastVillainStand she's left alone to fight Kyuu's brigade]]. After an easy and very one-sided battle, she's soundly defeated, captured and tied up.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: She says she wants to purge the world of criminals, yet she uses her MindControlDevice on perfectly innocent women.
* KnightTemplar: She's a Coalition fanatic who longs to purge the world of criminals and mediocrity.
* LastVillainStand: Despite being part of her HumiliationConga, [[VillainousValour she has the courage to fight the brigade alone after losing her summons and last guards]].
* LightIsNotGood: Part of her KnightTemplar personality.
* MindControlDevice: She uses a magical artifact to control her guards.
* RichBitch: Very scornful towards those she calls "low-life".
* VillainHasAPoint: She may be a KnightTemplar and a {{Hypocrite}}, but she is right when she points out that Carol and Suki are criminals.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: She has a good reputation among the nobles and the guilds, and cultivates an image of a generous philanthropist.
!![[Videogame/{{Lunarosse}} Zevhan]]
* BloodKnight: He hides it behind long speeches, but he yearns to kill and to see a brutal fight. He summons his Cardian monsters to attack Kyuu's brigade just because they happen to be exploring the Lost Tower while he's searching for something here too. And he also sends a powerful monster to fight the heroes just because he's frustrated that [[spoiler:he didn't find what he was looking for in the Lost Tower]].
* EvilLaugh: Every time he appears or disappears.
* EvilRedhead
* RatStomp: One of his favorite Cardian monster is a giant rat.
* SummonMagic: With his Cardian monsters.
* {{Troll}}: A villainous example. He doesn't even wanna tell his plan!

* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He does end up helping the Saint Lords, but only for one job since they gave him money and loaned him henchmen.

* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: In her view, all monsters are evil. Therefore, all humans who protect monsters are evil as well. And she will be sure to end them all.
* BountyHunter: Specialized in hunting and killing monsters and demons.
* CuteAndPsycho: At least when she doesn't show her NightmareFace.
* PsychoForHire: To put it lightly.
!!ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}
!![[Characters/DragonBallFrieza Frieza]]
!!Super Skrull
!!Noob Saibot

!!Markus
* [[FauxAffablyEvil Faux Affably Jerkass]]: He will display a polite front in order to keep up appearances, but he will resort to threats and petty insults at the first vexation.
* {{Jerkass}}: Although he hides it better than Samuel.
* SmugSnake: Kazuma Kiryu even uses these exact words to describe him.
* TallPoppySyndrome: In Chapter 9, this is his reasoning (or perhaps his not sincere justification) [[spoiler:for having his guild take credit for saving the region and framing the Nutsy Guild]]. He thinks if the independent guilds start getting too popular, people will lose faith in the Knights and official guilds and that would be bad.

A well-known and feared criminal guild. Kyuu and his friends will have to confront it during a few sidequests.

!!Tropes that apply to the guild in general:
* EvenEvilHasStandards: It doesn't prevent them to try to kill, or at least severely hurt, the intruders, but the guild refuses to do assassination jobs. They also didn't [[spoiler:disturb the dryads, because they knew that it would endanger Riveras Village]].
* RedHerring: During the [[spoiler:Save the Dryads sidequest]].

!!Zander (OC)
* BonusBoss: Of the Stolen Money Sidequest.
* DirtyCoward: Not above using hostages during a fight.
!!The Griff (OC)
* EvenEvilHasStandards: During the Save the Dryads sidequest, he's horrified by the plan of [[spoiler:the Morning Glory Guild.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: He always refers to him self as "The Griff".
* ThirdPersonPerson: At times.

!!The Black Vipers Guild
Introduced in Version 3. Another criminal guild. Far weaker and more pathetic than the Black Scar.

!!Tropes that apply to the guild in general:
* ButtMonkey: The poor schmucks can't get a break in the first chapter of Version 3. Every time they appear on screen and try to rob someone, they are beaten up by Kyuu and his friends. Kite even mentions that they are "all talks and no actions" kind of guys.

!The Invisible Hand Guild
A rogue guild specialized in thievery. They are said to rob the rich to give to the poor.

!!Tropes that apply to the guild in general.
* AmazonBrigade: All its members are female.
* JustLikeRobinHood: Their modus operandi.

!![[Anime/QueensBlade Risty]]
* AmazonianBeauty: Between her [[{{Stripperific}} outfit]] which makes Mitsuba look modest by comparison and her StatuesqueStunner...
* FieryRedhead: Her temperament is as fiery as her hair.
* FriendlyEnemy: She genuinely seems to like Kyuu, as she appreciates how he helped two kids she knew who were in trouble with Samuel and how he stood several times against [[{{Jerkass}} the Morning]] [[KnightTemplar Glory]] [[VillainWithGoodPublicity Guild]]. She fights him in Suiseki Valley because she thinks he won't survive in Kandur and doesn't want him to die stupidly. When she's beaten, she lets him pass without any more trouble.
* HeelFaceTurn[=/=]PromotedToPlayable: Unsurprisingly, given the fact that she wasn't evil to begin with, if Kyuu meets her again in Goka City in Chapter 10, she will join his brigade if you took the Suiseki Valley path.
* JustLikeRobinHood: She even helps an orphanage in [=EverGreen=] Town.
* NoodleIncident: She has some history with Axel. Apparently, he did something she considers so grave that saving her life wasn't enough to make amends. Oh, and she tried to seduce him and he refused because he already had a girlfriend. But that was another time and she doesn't hold a grudge for that.
* StatuesqueStunner: Wouldn't be an AmazonianBeauty if she hadn't that.
* {{Stripperific}}: Just '''look''' at her outfit...
* UnskilledButStrong: In term of brutal strength, she's impressive. But she lacks the technique. It's lampshaded by [[spoiler:Taskmaster]], who easily dodges her assault and knocks her out with one blow.

* [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ganondorf]]
** BadBoss: {{Averted}}. For the moment, he has avoided the YouHaveFailedMe and YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness tropes. Even [[spoiler:Pete]], after his fiasco in the [[spoiler:Cyril]] Region, is given a second chance. However, his status as TheDreaded implies that he's not a BenevolentBoss either.

* [[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry The Stakes of Purgatory]]
** BonusBoss: Of Kanon's optional story arc. For the moment, only Asmodeus of Lust and Beelzebub of Gluttony have been encountered.
** CuteAndPsycho
** GirlishPigtails: Asmodeus and Beelzebub, who also are the two youngest.
** MsFanservice
** SevenDeadlySins: Each of them represents one sin.
* Countess Rivka (OC)
** AristocratsAreEvil
** BonusBoss: Of the Behind the Façade sidequest.
** ControlFreak: She even goes as far as using a mind-control spell.
** TheEvilsOfFreeWill: Her motto.
** HumiliationConga: The end of the sidequest. She confronts the heroes and summons two powerful monsters to get rid of them. However, [[spoiler:it was a trap. [[TheDogBitesBack She's confronted by all the guards she used to brainwash and they annihilate her monsters]]. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Her last loyal guards run away]] and [[LastVillainStand she's left alone to fight Kyuu's brigade]]. After an easy and very one-sided battle, she's soundly defeated, captured and tied up.]]
** {{Hypocrite}}: She says she wants to purge the world of criminals, yet she uses her MindControlDevice on perfectly innocent women.
** KnightTemplar: She's a Coalition fanatic who longs to purge the world of criminals and mediocrity.
** LastVillainStand: Despite being part of her HumiliationConga, [[VillainousValour she has the courage to fight the brigade alone after losing her summons and last guards]].
** LightIsNotGood: Part of her KnightTemplar personality.
** MindControlDevice: She uses a magical artifact to control her guards.
** RichBitch: Very scornful towards those she calls "low-life".
** VillainHasAPoint: She may be a KnightTemplar and a {{Hypocrite}}, but she is right when she points out that Carol and Suki are criminals.
** VillainWithGoodPublicity: She has a good reputation among the nobles and the guilds, and cultivates an image of a generous philanthropist.
* [[Videogame/{{Lunarosse}} Zevhan]]
** BloodKnight: He hides it behind long speeches, but he yearns to kill and to see a brutal fight. He summons his Cardian monsters to attack Kyuu's brigade just because they happen to be exploring the Lost Tower while he's searching for something here too. And he also sends a powerful monster to fight the heroes just because he's frustrated that [[spoiler:he didn't find what he was looking for in the Lost Tower]].
** EvilLaugh: Every time he appears or disappears.
** EvilRedhead
** RatStomp: One of his favorite Cardian monster is a giant rat.
** SummonMagic: With his Cardian monsters.
** {{Troll}}: A villainous example. He doesn't even wanna tell his plan!
* [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Roman Torchwick]]
** OnlyInItForTheMoney: He does end up helping the Saint Lords, but only for one job since they gave him money and loaned him henchmen.
* [[Videogame/{{Darkstalkers}} Baby Bonnie Hood]]
** BlackAndWhiteInsanity: In her view, all monsters are evil. Therefore, all humans who protect monsters are evil as well. And she will be sure to end them all.
** BountyHunter: Specialized in hunting and killing monsters and demons.
** CuteAndPsycho: At least when she doesn't show her NightmareFace.
** PsychoForHire: To put it lightly.
* ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}
* [[Characters/DragonBallFrieza Frieza]]
* Super Skrull
* Noob Saibot

!!The Morning Glory Guild

* Tropes that apply to the guild in general.
** BigBadWannabe: They have power and connections. But, compared to the Saint Lords, they're hardly a threat.
** TheBully: As if they weren't despicable enough already, Version 3 reveals that its members are also this.
** FantasticRacism: At least according to [[Videogame/{{Darkstalkers}} Hsien-Ko]].
** FrameUp: One of the guild's method to get rid of other guilds that threaten their spotlight. In Chapter 9, they do it to [[spoiler:the Nutsy Guild]]. They also do it to [[spoiler:the Black Scar Guild during the Save the Dryads sidequest]] and it's implied that they did it before.
** GloryHound: They're in the Guild business for their own personal glory and gain, not to help others.
** HateSink: A groupe of [[TheBully bullies]], liars, [[SmugSnake Smug Snakes]], [[KnightTemplar Knight Templars]], GloryHounds, [[DirtyCoward Dirty Cowards]], [[{{Jerkass}} Jerkasses]] [[VillainWithGoodPublicity with good publicity]] and [[FakeUltimateHero Fake Ultimate Heroes]]. They even [[spoiler:frame up other guilds to steal their exploits]]. Contrary to the other antagonists, they have shown [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever]]. They're not even [[EvilIsCool cool]] to make up for their bad traits. And each additional info you learn about their guild just makes them more despicable.
** {{Jerkass}}: So far, all its members. Even the unnamed grunts. You could almost think that this is a requirement to join this guild...
** KnightTemplar: The guild has this mentality. It's especially shown during the [[spoiler:Save the Dryads sidequest]], where they were ready to [[spoiler:let a village be destroyed by the angered dryads in order to get rid of the Black Scar Guild]].
** LightIsNotGood: They often use Light spells, but they aren't sympathetic because of that.
** VillainsWithGoodPublicity: {{Downplayed}}. On the one hand, as an official guild, they have a lot of connections (especially with the press), and are appreciated by a lot of citizens. However, even in their hometown of [=EverGreen Town=], there are people who can't stand them.

* Samuel (OC)
** TheBully: He acts like one with people weaker than him.
** DirtyCoward: He will run away when confronted with a real danger.
** TheGunslinger: He fights with guns.
** {{Jerkass}}: A rude, insulting, arrogant and all-around obnoxious man.
*** JerkassHasAPoint: To be totally fair to him, during his first scene, he has the right to be angry that the kids sold him an untrained horse, given the fact that it's basically a fraud and that he could severly hurt himself while trying to ride it. What makes him despicable is his DisproportionateRetribution (hitting the two kids several times and threatening to '''enslave''' them).
*** JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Even if Kyuu saves him in Chapter 8, he will still be aggressive towards him when they meet again in Chapter 9. However, AlternateCharacterInterpretation on wether the slight hesitation he shows before that indicates that he may be able to change or not.
** LameComeback: He just calls people "stupid".
** NotSoHarmlessVillain: During the first two encounters with him, he's nothing but a joke. However, when he shows up [[FlunkyBoss with his friends]] [[spoiler:in front of the gates of the Lost Tower at the end of Chapter 8]], he's far stronger.
** SmugSnake: He's very confident and proud of his strength, but he's nowhere near as strong as he claims to be.
** UnknownRival: Or, more exactly, "Too Pathetic to be Taken Seriously" Rival. Ever since Kyuu ridiculed him in [=EverGreen=] Town, Samuel is obsessed by the idea of taking his revenge. Kyuu regards him as nothing more than a nuisance.
** WouldHurtAChild: [[EstablishingCharacterMoment He hit repeatedly two children because they sold him an untrained horse]].
* Markus
** [[FauxAffablyEvil Faux Affably Jerkass]]: He will display a polite front in order to keep up appearances, but he will resort to threats and petty insults at the first vexation.
** {{Jerkass}}: Although he hides it better than Samuel.
** SmugSnake: Kazuma Kiryu even uses these exact words to describe him.
** TallPoppySyndrome: In Chapter 9, this is his reasoning (or perhaps his not sincere justification) [[spoiler:for having his guild take credit for saving the region and framing the Nutsy Guild]]. He thinks if the independent guilds start getting too popular, people will lose faith in the Knights and official guilds and that would be bad.

!!The Black Scar Guild

* Tropes that apply to the guild in general.
** EvenEvilHasStandards: It doesn't prevent them to try to kill, or at least severely hurt, the intruders, but the guild refuses to do assassination jobs. They also didn't [[spoiler:disturb the dryads, because they knew that it would endanger Riveras Village]].
** RedHerring: During the [[spoiler:Save the Dryads sidequest]].

* Zander (OC)
** BonusBoss: Of the Stolen Money Sidequest.
** DirtyCoward: Not above using hostages during a fight.
* The Griff (OC)
** EvenEvilHasStandards: During the Save the Dryads sidequest, he's horrified by the plan of [[spoiler:the Morning Glory Guild.]]
** SpellMyNameWithAThe: He always refers to him self as "The Griff".
** ThirdPersonPerson: At times.

* Tropes that apply to the guild in general.
** ButtMonkey: The poor schmucks can't get a break in the first chapter of Version 3. Every time they appear on screen and try to rob someone, they are beaten up by Kyuu and his friends. Kite even mentions that they are "all talks and no actions" kind of guys.

!!The Invisible Hand Guild

* Tropes that apply to the guild in general.
** AmazonBrigade: All its members are female.
** JustLikeRobinHood: Their modus operandi.

* [[Anime/QueensBlade Risty]]
** AmazonianBeauty: Between her [[{{Stripperific}} outfit]] which makes Mitsuba look modest by comparison and her StatuesqueStunner...
** FieryRedhead: Her temperament is as fiery as her hair.
** FriendlyEnemy: She genuinely seems to like Kyuu, as she appreciates how he helped two kids she knew who were in trouble with Samuel and how he stood several times against [[{{Jerkass}} the Morning]] [[KnightTemplar Glory]] [[VillainWithGoodPublicity Guild]]. She fights him in Suiseki Valley because she thinks he won't survive in Kandur and doesn't want him to die stupidly. When she's beaten, she lets him pass without any more trouble.
** HeelFaceTurn[=/=]PromotedToPlayable: Unsurprisingly, given the fact that she wasn't evil to begin with, if Kyuu meets her again in Goka City in Chapter 10, she will join his brigade if you took the Suiseki Valley path.
** JustLikeRobinHood: She even helps an orphanage in [=EverGreen=] Town.
** NoodleIncident: She has some history with Axel. Apparently, he did something she considers so grave that saving her life wasn't enough to make amends. Oh, and she tried to seduce him and he refused because he already had a girlfriend. But that was another time and she doesn't hold a grudge for that.
** StatuesqueStunner: Wouldn't be an AmazonianBeauty if she hadn't that.
** {{Stripperific}}: Just '''look''' at her outfit...
** UnskilledButStrong: In term of brutal strength, she's impressive. But she lacks the technique. It's lampshaded by [[spoiler:Taskmaster]], who easily dodges her assault and knocks her out with one blow.

** DangerouslyGenreSavvy: As Luigi said, Bowser is learning. Shown in Chapter 8, during the mission to rescue [[spoiler:the Elven Elder]]. Firstly, he anticipated that the heroes would [[spoiler:give him false relics, so he researched to see how they look like and isn't fooled by the forged ones.]] Secondly, he [[spoiler:didn't bring the real hostage with him but a decoy and had several strong minions as backup]]. Finally, he left his strongest man to [[spoiler:keep a watch on the hostage]]. His plan only failed because of [[OutGambitted Kyuu's planning]] and several BigDamnHeroes moments.

** NotSoHarmlessVillain: In spite of [[EvilIsHammy his hamminess]] and [[LaughablyEvil funny scenes]], he's still a DangerouslyGenreSavvy foe who has a SerialKiller as one of his flunkies.
