• Debate: Which are better?
Pre-Timeskip Villains
- (East Blue Saga: Arlong, Buggy, Don Krieg and Kuro)
- Bellamy
- Crocodille and Baroque Works
- Enel and his Priests
- Rob Lucci and CP-9
- Gecko Moria and Thriller Bark Pirates
Or
Post-Timeskip Villains
- Hody Jones and New Fishman Pirates
- Ceaser Clown
- Doflamingo and Donqueixote Pirates
- Big Mom and Big Mom Pirates
- Kaido and Beast Pirates
- Kurozumi Orochi
I'll spllit in 4 Rounds:
• R1: Which one had better development?
• R2: Which one has more charisma?
• R3:Which one was more evil?
• R4: Which one has better designs?
• R5: Which one provides better fights against the Straw Hats?
• Personal Question: Which of them are your favorites?
2 Important things:
1- I didn't consider the Admirals, Blackbeard or WG as they haven't become main villains of an Arc yet.
2- Don't just consider the main Villains of the arcs, also consider the secondary ones like Daz Bones, Bon Clay, Kaku, Jabra, Absalom, Pica, Vergo, Katakuri, Queen, King, Monet, et cetera ;)

Only good post-TS villain is Doffy, the rest is forgettable.
S
Kaido, for sure. We've had the dissatisfaction with what Kaido did to the country since the beginning of Wano. The girl O-Tama was introduced early in the arc, showing the catastrophes caused by Kaido in the country. The misery of the people being constantly thrown in the faces of Luffy, Zoro, and the rest of the Straw Hat crew.
The fact that people couldn't even eat or drink clean water, executions, and people laughing at someone's death. All of this served to build up the protagonists who were there and guide them on what they needed to do in Wano. We had fights with Kaido early on in the arc, with Kaido appearing as early as chapter 921. The tension was already immense, having two Yonko on the island who were capable of killing 5 SNS with just one or two attacks(Hakai). But Kaido took it to another level by making the island float, turning it into a time bomb. Not only that, but Kaido's strength caused so much tension that it even killed Luffy.
Not to mention that Oda basically stated that the worse things get, the more Luffy laughs. In other words, the tension of facing Kaido was so overwhelming for Luffy that he couldn't stop laughing. The guy almost went insane.
Oda giving a brilliant definition of the phrase: "I'm laughing out of nervousness."

Hody's strength was decent. He is probably around Snack level.
And Luffy was basically fighting nerfed underwater most of the time.
Disagrees about the Hody and Crocodile comparison, Crocodile does have reason for being a villain yes but Hody don't have a clear reason to be evil which is misunderstood.
Hody has the charisma necessity to be a threatening villain.

Main Pre timeskip Villains:
Arlong, Sir Crocodile, Enel, Rob Lucci, Moria, Magellan, Akainu
Main Post Timeskip Villains;
Hody Jones, Caesar, Doflamingo, Katakuri, Linlin, Kaido.
Pre-timeskip villains sweep. The only good antagonist from the PS is Doffy, who is only marginally better than Sir Crocodile. Then you got Enel, Arlong & Magellan all sweep the rest of the PS villains.
