History Characters / DrCraftyAntagonists

* DeaderThanDead: In "Titans! Reboot," Sasha [[spoiler: slays Bill with her Infinium Sword. She outlines in no uncertain terms that the weapon will render him irreversibly dead -- not even the Infinium Flute Mindstein used will revive him again. And after Sasha stabs him, every physical trace of him ''vanishes''; he's merely a memory now.]]

[[folder: Bill Cipher]]
[[header: Bill Cipher]]

The main antagonist of "The Foreshadow Game," [[Anime/YuGiOh Spirit of Yami Bakura]] sends the Crafty Crew into the Shadow Realm. He also possesses Nurse Worse to bring her to the person who revived him: Dr. Mindstein. Before he can do so, Sasha intervenes, so Bakura decides to play a high-stakes Shadow Game with her to decide whether the Crafty Crew lives or remains trapped.

The [[Anime/YuGiOh Spirit of Yami Bakura]] who possesses Nurse Worse and serves as "The Foreshadow Game's" main antagonist. He planned to claim Nurse for his master Dr. Mindstein, sending Crafty, Pepper, and Messibelle into the Shadow Realm in the process.

During Cartoon Month, Bill is reincarnated and forced to work under Mindstein to scout Crafty's mind for important secrets. If he finds what Mindstein is after, he is allowed to go free. However, he finds himself unable to infiltrate Crafty's head, so he instead takes interest in Nurse's.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Unlike Bakura, Bill Cipher doesn't receive much screentime. What little he ''does'' have offers insight on [[spoiler: Nurse's backstory and history with Crafty. What's more, his showdown with Sasha in "Titans! Reboot" establishes the social hierarchy of the Infinia among deities across the multiverse]].

* LaserGuidedKarma: Screw is responsible for sending Crafty flying across the globe in "Magic Kingdom Mania." She not only sends him exactly where he needed to be -- right before the [[Franchise/MyHeroAcademia U.A. High School campus]] -- but she [[spoiler: suffers a similar defeat during the last part of "I Need a Hero Academia." Nurse Worse, Screw's GoodCounterpart and older sister, delivers Screw a sound beating and tops it off with a MegatonPunch of her own, avenging Crafty and (almost) ending the Season 3 finale exactly how it started.]]

* ImprobableHairstyle: Mindstein bears an impressively large bouffant; strangely, all of it is somehow distributed ''behind'' her head, which is otherwise bald. It's as though the entire thing sprouted from her occipital region.

* LaughingMad: Mindstein cackles more and more as her schemes in "I Need a Hero Academia" fall apart thanks Crafty and Class 1A. [[spoiler: Of course, that was just the duplicate. Following its demise, the real Mindstein claims the cackling is a quirk in its design, and that she herself doesn't laugh nearly as much under pressure.]]

* LaughingMad: Particularly all over the place as her schemes began to fall apart courtesy of Crafty and Class 1A. [[spoiler: Of course, that was just the duplicate. Following its demise, the real Mindstein claims the cackling is a quirk in its design, and that she herself doesn't laugh nearly as much. Though, a few minutes after this conversation, [[{{Hypocrite}} she laughs to herself much like the clone]], implying that she's not telling the whole truth.]]

Following its demise, the real Mindstein claims the cackling is a quirk in its design, and that she herself doesn't laugh nearly as much. She could be full of bull, though, since she had been comfortable in the safety of her base and hadn't experienced the fight firsthand. She also laughs much like the clone not a few minutes after that conversation.]]

** The [[spoiler: actual]] Mindstein has a small breakdown at the end of "We're Back! A Crafty Story!" As usual, she's watching ''Dr. Crafty'' to study up on her opponents. What she doesn't expect is when [[spoiler: Crafty, Nurse, and their friends [[TheFourthWallShallNotProtectYou directly addresses her and dares her to attack again]]. Their boasts actually strike a nerve; Mindstein silently tosses a scalpel into her screen and breaks it, visibly outraged that her targets are no longer afraid of her.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: Seeing the power of the Relics used against her caused her to lose quite a few more screws than she already had. [[spoiler: This was noted by the real Mindstein to be a trait more associated with her robot clones, but the point still stands.]]

* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Ever since Crafty conned him in "Street Frighters," Jedah takes any chance he gets to screw with the Crafty crew. He allies with anyone who wishes to sue Crafty as a means to get back at him, and he wishes to settle his beef with Crystelle by debunking her abilities in court. Meanwhile, when not dealing with people he has personal issues with, he can be generally unhelpful and blatantly self-interested. His competency as a lawyer is questionable, seeing that he's prone to using outdated judicial tactics, and he denies helping others if the task is technically out of his jurisdiction. This gem from "Best Skullgirl" sums him up quite well:

* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Like Nurse, Screw happens to have discolored patches of skin. They're almost identical to her sister's -- except the one on her face, which is [[EvilCounterpart mirrored]]. It subtly hints at how Screw is a dark reflection of what Nurse became.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Of "The Foreshadow Game" and the "Cartoon Month" episodes, being the one who Zorc and Bill Cipher after Crafty and friends in the first place.

The principal antagonist of the Dr. Crafty series, Dr. Mindstien is the diabolically depraved source behind the major events of the main story, starting with the end of Season 2's finale. Unlike Crafty himself, Mindstein plays the role of a Mad Scientist as straight as possible, and she proves it through her villainous experimental endeavors. She plans to one day gain access to powers that would allow her to create an unrivaled deity for the sake of scientific discovery, in the hopes of leaving behind a legacy for herself, and refuses to cease planning until she finally achieves such a dream.\\

* AmoralAttorney: As a lawyer, Jedah wants to maximize his profits above all else, often at the expense of his competency. This sentiment extends to his entire law firm. The ''Characafe'' shows that he's quite the wildcard, too, offering his services to Pepper at one point in "Best Skullgirl," then turning around and representing [[{{WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987}} Scrooge McDuck]] when he sues Crafty in "Duck and Cover." Notably, his latter decision is admissable in court, but he clearly made it just to screw with Crafty some more.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: According to Crystelle in "Return to the Qloset," Jedah has repeatedly attempted to disprove Crystelle's legitimacy as a psychic, failing every time. Ironically, they're old flames; during college, he got to know her personally and should be familiar with how her powers work. Plus, being a demon, [[HypocriticalHumor he should be no stranger to magical abilities himself]]. Of course, whether he believes in Crystelle's powers is irrelevant; he's chiefly motivated by lingering anger about their breakup. Now, he's left grasping for any chance at payback, no matter how ridiculous that chance is.

** When Pepper's candy stash gets stolen in "Best Skullgirl," he swoops in to advertise himself to Pepper with a RousingSpeech... but he refuses to go after the thieves himself when prompted to. He's ''only'' a lawyer; [[JerkassHasAPoint he'd be overstepping his bounds if he took initiative then and there, and Pepper begrudgingly accepts this answer]].

* AdaptationalComicRelief: The original Jedah is hellbent on resetting all of creation just to attain a perfect world. ''This'' one is a treasure-trove of [[EvilLawyerJoke evil lawyer jokes]] motivated by greed, petty revenge, or both.
