So with Hades, Fawful did mention how the Actual Greek God of the underworld is kinda just "an edgelord with a shitty job" but I'm gonna elaborate a lil more: Hades is, in Greek Mythology, probably the sanest of the Whole Pantheon, He's actually really focused on doing his job in reserving where you'll stay in the afterlife, and rarely gets involved with mortal affairs. Hell when heroes like Odysseus and Hercules visit Hades, unlike how Disney portrays Hades, he actually is very civil and lets Herc take Cerebus for a walk, and let's Odysseus talk with the spirits in his realm without much issue. Honestly the concept of Death wasn't really talked much by the Greeks, and ifya do look in their mentions, they're more afraid of Hade's Wife Persephone than they were of Hades Honestly, if there is any Greek God you should be wary of, it's everyone else: Zeus was a serial Rapist, Hera was a rape victim blamer, Poseidon held some serious grudges, Athena is responsible for creating spiders, Demeter nearly wiped Humanity out via ice age, Dionyssus sometimes murders for no reason Honestly the tamest of the pantheon are surprisingly Hades, Ares, Hepastus and maybe Hestia

[@Hedgee_]

And may I remind that hades is the most loyal husband, Theseus bro was claiming that he would marry Persephone and when the two went down the the underworld, hades stuck the fury’s on them and bonded snakes on them to keep ‘‘em in place. And he even lets Persephone leave the underworld to spend time with her mom.

[@hudhouse99]

Cerberus' literal translation is 'Spotted', and its been confirmed he is a Lap Dog. This god damn god of the underworld called his dog SPOT. And ironically enough, Zeus gave him permission to steal Persephone. It was basically an arranged marriage, and everyone blamed Zeus for it. The only shitty thing Hades does in every single original myth is feed Persephone the pomegranate seeds without saying their effect. However, it was also shown that Persephone would stay for periods longer than her imprisonment- which does show a genuine love and respect when she can leave at any time yet still chooses to stay.

If you're confused about Yami's symbolism during his fish form; all life, including human life, originated in water. Many forms of fish are even older than dinossaurs, and have remained unchanged during their entire evolutionary line due to how well their forms are adapted to water. Yami's fish form symbolizes that not only evil starts small, but is present even at the beginning of life.

I was going to make my own comment about psmd dark matter. I love how it shows not only terrifying power but also intelligence.

I will admit though, its very similar to kirby's dark matter but is that really a bad thing?

[@Arexion5293]

My favourite's Demi-Fiend from the Shin Megami Tensei franchise. A normal high school student who had to witness the end of the world, the death of everyone and be turned into a demon by forces outside of his control. Through his sheer rage towards these unfair forces and systems the dude goes and punches every damn demon and deity to death and ultimately dismantles the very system itself that caused the end of the world in the first place. And that's just the first step in his goals, as the next one was to go after the very being that created the said system so none can be forced under the whims of some narcissistic egoistic deity anymore. And as stated by the latest title in the franchise, this goal is fulfilled. A dude so angry that he's treated as one of the most powerful characters in the entire franchise, to the point he is the most difficult JRPG super boss, and even in his latest incarnation he is still a properly difficult super boss. A teenager so angry that even a true god that can kill a transcended super god still struggles at fighting him, while the Demi-Fiend treats this fight as a mere sparring match.

[@Triforce_of_Doom]

With the first time he's a superboss, it's incredibly telling that the music playing is HIS RANDOM BATTLE MUSIC! Like I can only imagine having gone from playing Nocturne to DDS, getting challenged by the protag, & the music saying that this is just Tuesday for him.

[@smtandearthboundsuck8400]

His dds fight is absolute garbage. Dunno what definition of difficult you have but it’s very braindead and only has one single solution. Absolute snooze fest. Satan in the sequel is never talked about despite being a more interesting and important character when you look at the franchise as a whole, and a superior boss fight. Oh right, people sucking the dds Demi fiend fight never actually fought him nor touched dds and get their sources from Buffmaister’s 40 min video and memes. Which explains why they’d have such an unnaturally positive opinion on that fight, because nobody who beat him had fun doing it. OMG HE PLAYS THE RANDOM ENCOUNTRE THEMMM!🤯🤯🤯 WE ARE RANDYMM ENCROUTREE😲😲😲 His role in 5 is fanservice and non canon, but his fight is FAR better designed indeed. It directly retcons Nocturne’s tde events, changing his target from ‘The Great Will’ to ‘God’. Don’t give me the mistranslation card, the Japanese version always meant Great will and even the 2021 remaster kept Great will. He and Lucifer waged war on the Great will. And the dlc campaign follows tde, so it’s retconned, therefore not canon or at least completely separate from Nocturne’s events. Just like the Diamond realm dlc in Apocalypse, he obviously didn’t actually meet the other 4 protagonists and fought Stephen. Pure fanservice.

[@ianoliver2224]

Dark Matter is by far the most terrifying characters, let alone villains, I’ve ever seen. It’s driven me to madness with it’s presence throughout the entire franchise and what it represents.

[@CyberCrash]

There is also a theory that Giratina controls Gravity instead of Anti-matter but I think he can do both

[@bubalackgaming8892]

I've always wondered if the whole "anti-matter" thing was a mistranslation since gravity makes more sense

[@StartouchArts]

That.... makes a lot of sense actually; especially when you consider that gravity effects both space and time. Of course the antithesis to Palkia and Dialga would be a being that can tamper with their dominions in equal measure.

[@geoshark12]

That would actually make sense due to gravity being weird in the reverse world .but my counter to that is this if they are controlling anti matter it means they control everything about it including mass. Space time warps around highly dense or massive things

[@angeldude101]

@@bubalackgaming8892 This would absolutely be the case if the intention was _dark_ matter instead of _anti_ matter. (Yes, the thing that #1 is named after.) The reason this is likely is the fact that dark matter as a hypothetical substance is one that interacts with none of the fundamental forces... except for gravity. The entire reason it was hypothesised is because the mass contained in various galaxies doesn't seem to be enough to provide enough *gravity* to hold them together.

[@angeldude101]

@@StartouchArts Gravity doesn't just _affect_ space and time. Gravity _is_ *distortion* of spacetime. Gravity is the consequence of bendable spacetime. The moment time and space existed, it would be impossible for gravity to _not_ exist.

Seriously, these people have clearly never read any of the Archie comics and it shows. OFC it's stupid! But it's FUN! I LIKE stupid fun! Is that not the embodiment of chaos unbound? Is that not Sonic's entire schtick: just having fun being who you are no matter what anyone says? Meanwhile, I love how people would say "it slows the game down to a crawl." Right...I mean, they're half right, but half the game is stupid fast; compare that to Sonic Labyrinth where ALL the game is slow and Sonic being slower as Werehog at least makes more sense than Sonic being tricked by Eggman in to wearing Slow-Down Shoes...yes...really... >.>

[@lianaverwood9810]

@Bluestreaker: I believe you are referring to the Fleetway Comics Super Sonic, not Archie Comics. Sometimes referred to as just 'Fleetway', the brand of the same name used to work in conjunction with SEGA Europe to make 'Sonic The Comic', and included segments showcasing other SEGA Genesis games new at the time. It was where the Backstory involving Dr Ovi Kintobor and Sonic (a Brown Hedgehog at the time) being friends before an accident involving the Chaos Emeralds and a spoilt Egg transformed them both - I kid you not. The greatest thing to come from this weird (compared to Archie Comics' later Issues) Comic Book was the Debut of Super Sonic, a being of uncontrollable Chaotic Energy that is Sonic's Negative Side manifest. Absorbing massive quantities of Chaos Radiation from the Master Emerald, Sonic temporarily transforms into an indestructible Golden Demon with one thing on its mind: Destroy everyone Sonic holds near and dear to his Heart! Fleetway Super Sonic kept fighting for control of Sonics body and eventually was separated from him, but even after being sealed away where he couldn't break free, his infinite energy output turned his very Prison into a World-Ending Event, forcing Sonic to release him! I can go on, but it'd be easier for you to watch a video dedicated to this Golden Demon. Have Fun (and Nightmares)!

[@bluestreaker9242]

@@lianaverwood9810 Right. Thanks to Sonic Mega Collection, I was able to read some of the older comics, and yes, they are fucking bizarre...and I love them for that. Sonic is more fun as a franchise when it embraces the insanity and doesn't take itself too seriously. ;)

[@Sevenizer1]

What I find so intriguing, given we now know that Dialga and Palkia also have Origin Formes, is how close to the divine Arceus their forms appear, while Giratina’s true form is a rejection of it. If it is true that Giratina is the embodiment of antimatter, perhaps its reason for its banishment is that it simply CANNOT exist within the physical world that Arceus -through Dialga and Palkia- sought to create. Chaos incarnate, the complete decimation of matter should it meet with matter. Not only was it banished, it was given an altered form made to crawl across the ground, losing the power to Levitate and forced only to exert its Pressure upon its foes. Love Giratina, always have.

Loneliness spiraled into depression, which then spiraled into them CASTING THEIR OWN DAMN FACE AWAY BECAUSE THEY SAW IT AS WHAT CAUSED THEIR ABANDONEMENT... holy hell. and its a bit like something thats probably relatable to a lot of people. We all probably made lots of miis in our time, but theres some we... didnt like. Or maybe even forgot about... Hell, werent there DEFAULT miis nobody talks about (unless you're a person who horns over Smash's blank slate zoner)? Although Miitopia probably shares with pokemon in there being endless multiverses with similar canons, i still think if there one true canon, said default would be the soul behind all of this. And just to be honest... if you think about it... its power is terrifying. Turning regular joe schmoes into DEMON LORDS, and almighty sages into SUNS THAT CAN REPLICATE THE BIG BANG... imagine what power it could behold if it chose the strongest possible host. And all of this caused by something not being noticed... because its so forgettable you forgot about it. Honestly probably describes a lot of people (especially the most depressed, downtrodden and desperate of us) really well. Wait... does that mean there could be more dark curses out there? I mean if one ordinary guy having a rough life is enough to result in this... there could be more out there. Thats honestly terrifying looking at it from a regular character's perspective. Hell, it even doesnt mind DYING. If when you have it contained you choose to... PURGE IT, its last words are "thank you". Now i'm no expert... but thats got some (intentional or not) downright SUICIDAL connotations! It chooses to be the suffering of others, but wouldnt mind being put out of its own. For a funny mii game you bought cus it was on switch and you saw some funny people on twitter replicate characters well with it... thats very freaky. A demon born of nothing short of self-hatred and loathing that gladly embraces DEATH... thats very terrifying of a concept.

I personally would have put Mom from The Binding of Isaac on the list. I know she's not a demon, but so many of her forms are so demonic that I think it might as well count. Either her or Mega Satan. But I do agree with Dark Matter being at the top.

[@kingmagnus4009]

I’m gonna say this. Perfect Dark Gaia is my favorite final boss theme ever

[@pikachu-uk1bg]

"Most call them demons. Faithful calls them *fucking DIES* " Yeah that cracked me up

[@AnthonyMtheGamerArtist]

Of course THAT ONE was gonna make number one. It’s a series all about the most primordial of demons. I’m not saying it here, but there’s a reason it’s my favorite of all time.

[@shinigamimiroku3723]

Definitely! I've barely played any Kirby games and even I wholly agree with it being #1.

[@MT-jd8pc]

I like that he used a moment from helluva boss

[@Bosslayer123]

I mean we're basically just trying to turn Christmas into Halloween at this point so this checks out.

[@Jasonwolf1495]

I'll be honest most of these I just can't consider demons, some of them not even vaguely related to demons. Giratina prime among them, he's a dark fellow, but he's been proven time and time again to be the good guy, the master of balance. Giratina made him to balance out all of the stuff he made int he world, and when it gets thrown out of wack Giratina shows up to put it back in order.

[@a.mthewolfkid6157]

I pretty much just started sonic unleashed a few months back and haven't picked it up since, seeing the final boss on this list was a surprise.

[@captaincortez4917]

"Dark Matter is everything... except being funny" Gooey: *helo*

[@angeldude101]

Well if we have a demon list, surely that means an angel list is coming up, right? Funny thing about Yami, the whole "5 evils" thing seems like it was largely spread from Chuggaaconroy's LP, but he has since apologized since the source he got it from was unreliable and there's actually no indication that the connections were intentional. It's possible, but it's purely speculation as opposed to the truth he originally thought it was. Contrary to popular belief, Kirby is not evil. Void is not inherently evil. The only thing Void is inherently is Chaos, but it can manifest anywhere on the spectrum between Good and Evil. Kirby is a manifestation on the extreme side of Good.

[@LordVanOskuro]

The way you describe Dark Gaia you make it seem like somekind of mastermind. Rather than, you know, the feral animal it actually is. That being said, Dark Gaia is the only villain Sonic has a sense of fear of. Especially since he didn't really beat it. He nearly died, but was saved last minute by another god who summoned a colossal stone megazord and the chaos emeralds to aid him, and they still only managed to just lull DG to sleep.

[@GBA-049]

Going in completely blind without internet, just seeing Giratina's overworld sprite animation was absolutely petrifying as a kid. Even more so when witnessing the visual effects and hearing the noises from Shadow Force as the first move it used, after reading the dialogue "vanished instantly," *holy fucking shit there's nothing else like it.* Each second I experienced with Giratina was legit astonishing and intense beyond my belief. It's very presence shook me to the core and left an impact that I will _never_ forget. Deserving of the top 3 spot, without a shadow of a doubt.

[@sporepics]

Props to you for not putting in a freaking succubus, or a sexy demon in this list. My man is focused 💪

[@grayokami31]

I TOTALLY GOT HYPED FOR YAMI ON THIS LIST! ITS IMPACT IN THE GAME REALLY CLENCHED MY HEART

[@shinyninja8107]

Demons have always been one of my favourites, so to see them celebrated like this makes me happy

[@danteciccarelli2790]

ok so who you win in a fight, (Kirby) Void's Malice or (Zelda) Demonize malice, I'm interested in your answers. I'm talking about all fets and forms they all have.

[@ropecrewman36]

My reaction to every entry, legitimately was, "YES!!!"

[@Jacob_G9]

15:15 *Stares at Fleetway Super Sonic And Dark Sonic* I think, you might have a point.

[@greatsageclok-roo9013]

So one week out from Christmas, and you upload a video about demons... ... Only from Fawful's Minion does this sort of genius occur!

[@Inferno144]

Fun fact about Castlevania Dracula is that its established in Aria of Sorrow that Dracula is the the on earth avatar for a primordial eldritch being known as Chaos to rain...well, chaos in the world of man to feed it.

[@gemraldkid6304]

“I KNEW THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA WAS THE PORTAL TO HELL!” I sea that the scars inflicted by Subnautica are still very much engraved in his mind.

[@Bken96]

aw, as a soulcalibur fan, i really wanted to see nightmare on the list at some point. but glad to see you again, mr. minion

[@mattbks]

Good god what have you done?! Calling demons! That’s awesome!

[@nifinland]

16:24 FISH!! This is a fucking fish!

[@PsychicSiren7]

Honestly don't know why I expected to see any Bayonetta demon on here, since i don't remember if you've ever dipped your feet into that franchise. But many thanks for the Sonic Unleashed reference, it truly makes my day!

[@PineapplePineapplePineapplePin]

*Immediately begins thinking about pokemon that can be considered demons* Edit: Yeah that makes sense

[@bobandmrmecaleb5873]

"Giratina. Is concerning." "What you gonna do, old man? Stop me? Hehehehehe." This entry is incredibly haunting.

[@goldlight1322]

Fun fact: the word “demon” comes from the Greek word “daemon,” which really just refers to any supernatural entity.

[@cdesigner9178]

Slightly disappointed that Terraria's Wall of Flesh and Bendy didn't make the list proper, but at least they get to show up. I like that about these videos; even if they didn't make the list proper, a lot of games get to get some love in the form of unmentioned honorable mentions.

[@Madam_StarFall]

Fucking BRAVO! 👏 👏 👏 👏 I can see why you think this is your best one yet. This was an awesome video.

[@sinistarman]

awesome video. got me thinking abit to about those entries, and made me very excited for a future encounter with them.

[@vidyabatter]

The "satan's alolan form" line fucking killed me

[@Hello_World_not_taken]

Didn’t see this one coming!!! Dark star, ANYTHING from Doom, Bendy
