I'm just me.
Would you say that Kuja is more of a Bad Guy, or an Anti Hero? I think he was a bit misunderstood, and he kinda redeemed himself in the end. Not really a bad person, His death reminded me of Darth Vaders death.

Kuja was neither <3 he was a misunderstood narcissistic scared and scared man who was scared of death.
He didn't understand the human world and he didn't understand most human rules like death ( and clothing
) And he didn't understand life itself, really he is the oppisite of Vivi in some ways. Instead of finding out and exploring and working out what he was scared of and exploring the messages and mysetrious of life, he panics and goes loopy and crazy. He frecks out beyond belief..
Kuja is more the misunderstood character than a cold hearted bad guy. He makes some terrible mistakes in his confusion, and his madness from his hidden pain leaks out when he destroys villages and manipulates with a main character's mother.
Not to mention Kuja's pain and confusion just wasn't from death and dieing. But it was also jealously of his younger brother and his creator. Garland could of been the Father Figure towards Kuja's life and shown him the things he needed to know. Like love, Friendship, Life, and Death. However Garland was too busy on what to cause destruction and warp Terra with Gaia to probably care about his wellbeing.
However in the end Zidane and his Friends show Kuja the true meanings of life and death and the true meanings of Friendship and love that Garland should of really taught him when he was a whittle wee guy <3 However he
in peace, because Zidane managed to teach him the thngs that he was confused and afarid of. Really Kuja was just a afraid and scared child that didn't know how to deal with what he didn't understand and it lead him down a path that he shouldn't of walked across if he was given a better chance at life..
In otherwords.
Kuja= Misunderstood by the miles.

I agree with this in every word. I mean yeah he went just a little bit over board and started destroying whole nations for fun.
But he was just extremely confused and lost. And what he need was honestly...love. And in the end that is what he got along with acceptance. So yeah I just say he was misunderstood.

I say all of the above. He's was a main villain, so he's gotta be the bad guy. But like some of you have noted, i agree that he was also misunderstood.
So can we agree to this conclusion: A misunderstood bad guy? Yeah, sounds right.

I have to say bad guy. An anti-hero would be someone like Riddick or The Punisher, a guy who uses questionable means to achieve his goals, but doesn't go around slaughtering innocent people or destroying entire civilizations. Kuja started wars, manipulated and corrupted the Queen, caused mass genocide all to further his own cause. The only form of redemption was when he sacrificed himself to save Zidane and his friends. Regardless of the jealousy that motivated him before, he still went a lot further than an anti-hero would ever go. Misunderstood villain? Perhaps. Anti-hero? No.
I would say he is a bad guy..........But ended the game as a hero kinda,after all he did kill an awful amount of inncoent people in the end and manipulated the queen and created his own weapons of mass destruction (the vivi's). And at the end before he died I do think he did regret his actions.......hope they make a sequel with him as the main character who somehow survived........But don't that it's think its gonna happen.
Overall Kuja was bad then good (but only at the end of the game).

Kuja was evil, get over it. He wanted to watch the world burn, he admitted that within the game itself. From
it's easily seen that he's a villain and not misunderstood at all. That's the same as saying the Joker in Dark Knight was misunderstood.
capturing and manipulating Zidane and crew to killing Brahne
well kuja was just a victim of the garland plan
and he is not evil
he is just a guy with serious mental disorders a deranged
you can see it when he almost die that he was scared about death
he could not understand a world without him the fact that when you die everything continues
he was scared about that. "it's not fair" was his thought.
and that fact makes him more real and solid than the rest of the characters
he was weaker than everybody on that game, more human
and who's gonna tell that never thought in something like that ?
think about it
kuja is just a poor boy,
zidane understood it at the end

Kuja was evil in the way Darth Vader was evil. He definitely wasn't only anti-hero, however.
If you ask me, I think it's kind of a contradicting question.

I agree, I think you totally explained the term Anti-Hero here. +Rep.
Its like Robert Masters explained.
Kuja was a bad guy...didnt also all of the Vivi clones die? because of Kuja?
Anyways people who do naughty things are evil..taking lives of innocent people is EVIL !
This question is pointless tbh...he is evil obviously..
People telling he was misunderstood
Like I said the action of taking lives of innocent people can never be redeemed..he went to Hell
Alright, break down in full effect here.
Any Star Wars fans? Ok, well in case not, Darth Vader was good at heart but became twisted by the dark side.
Kuja is a lot like Darth Vader. He is good at heart, but is driven to do evil things. Which is fact.
An anti-hero is technically someone like Zidane. This is fact.
But since this is not about literal definition, I will continue to humor it's meaning on this thread by saying that an anti-hero would be any antagonists that mar a hero in any story, which in many cases,, would be all of them. As far as the thread definition goes, this is fact.
So by that definition, Kuja was 'anti-hero'. He was not, however, evil.

If Kuja isn't evil there is no such thing as evil. I mean how could someone possibly top what Kuja did without killing everyone in the world. The dude killed people left and right thinking that it didn't really matter. I mean think about what he did caused Burmecia being recked, destroyed Cleyra, all those people in Linblum, Alexandria, Terra. An anti hero is more of a guy who fights for good but does it by doing bad things. Kuja was just a bad dude to the core. I know he apologized at the end and might have been afraid of death but that doesn't mean he isn't evil.
