There's this big list of One Piece Big Bads per story arc, but half of them hardly-to-not qualify as Big Bads at all. For example, all supposed Big Bads in the Baroque Works saga all answer to Crocodile, so they shouldn't have any Big Bad status. Anyone have anything to add on this?

/delete them. If they don't qualify, if they aren't the BIG bad, the guy behind it all, then get rid of them. They don't belong here. They sound more like the Quirky Miniboss Squad.

Why is the title of this page "B Ig Bad" instead of just "Big Bad"?

They're the same. It's all covered under The Problem With Pen Island.

Personally, I cannot think of a better Big Bad for the title image than Palpatine, but I thought I'd open the floor for anyone who can think of someone more appropriate.

I think it's about time we start sub-dividing the examples of this trope into their own pages like Magnificent Bastard and Complete Monster are. It's gotten really big. The Dragon should be too.

I think Trope Decay is starting to work its way into the page and there are too many examples that need to be removed or rewritten here. I just changed a line:
...because how can Kronski be a Big Bad if there's a Man Behind Him?

Are there only a few problems with this on this page or does it have to go to the Trope Repair Shop?

Dartz isn't a regular follower of the Orichalcos God, and not even its Dragon. You can't seperate Dartz and the Orichalcos God, because until their defeat, Dartz is essentially the Orichalcos God personified(they even fuse into a single being in the arc's final battle). It's pretty much like Bakura and Zorc in the Memory World arc, so I think we should be consistent with it. So, what do you think? Should we list Dartz and the Orichalcos God for Doma and Bakura and Zorc for the Memory world? Or only the Orichalcos God for Doma and only Zorc for the Memory World?

As you noted, Dartz was not a single being with the Orihalcos God before of the final battle. The motive that Yami Bakura can be considered equal with Zorc is because Yami Bakura IS Zorc

But again, it's the nearly same thing here, until the end of the arc, Dartz is essentially the Orichalcos God in human form. Dartz is the one that moves the plot, and even when the the Orichalcos God is summoned Dartz is still part of it. The Orichalcos God is just a voiceless monster with no real motivation without Dartz to define it.

Oh, this only means that Dartz can be considered the Big Bad and the Orihalcos God the Bigger Bad- but the two are not in equal standing, by this if the Orihalcos God can be listed as the arc Big Bad, Dartz is not the Big Bad. If Dartz is the Big Bad, this means that his master-the Orihalcos God is not sufficiently important/active to qualify as the arc Big Bad. Read Bigger Bad.

Already did actually. But I'm not sure that the Orichalcos God qualifies, as it seems to be about things that aren't really part of the plot. If I had to define the Big Bad and Bigger Bad of Doma, I would say that Humanity's inner darkness is the Bigger Bad, Dartz is the Big Bad, and the Orichalcos God is something weird in between, too involved to be the Bigger Bad but not involved enough to be the Big Bad.

Humanity's inner darkness is not the Bigger Bad. Dartz was just tricked into believing that. The Orichalcos feeds on the darkness within human hearts but that only means that the Orichalcos is the Bigger Bad, since despite what Dartz believes humans are not defined by that inner darkness, and there is more going on within them. The Orichalcos both feeds upon and amplifies it, warping the victim. The Orichalcos God is something different- its a creation of the Orichalcos, and Dartz treats it as some kind of beloved pet, though he's deluded and doesn't realise he is a pawn.

Have you all gone MAD!?! What about the Big Bads of the Star Wars Movies?

Big Bad simply means the one causing the conflict, so I don't understand why there aren't any real life examples.
