We've ranked the Sailor Senshi, now let's rank the groups of foes they fought against.

For me it's...

1. Dark Kingdom
2. Shadow Galactica
3. Dead Moon Circus
4. Black Moon Clan
5. Death Busters

So you just wanna see this as Top 5 then? And like... the whole group right? Irrespective of who the main bad is or if there's like one particular villain in the group that is a total non-favorite? Lookin' at you, Demand XD. AND across ALL media we've each seen?

Assuming all that, I'll say...

1. Dark Kingdom
2. Dead Moon (tho man it's tempting to put them first...)
3. Death Busters
4. Shadow Galactica (tied with Ail & En)
5. Black Moon


By the by, for anyone interested in other very similar but not-quite-the-same threads, you can check these out :p:

Here is my ranking for all of the villain groups:

1. Death Busters

2. Black Moon Clan

3. Shadow Galactica 

4. Dead Moon Circus

5. Dark Kingdom

I'm just gonna rank them on most to least evil, not exactly on favorites. I'm gonna try to take their goals into account as well as how close they came to getting them and how powerful they are as a group. 

1. Shadow Galatica
2. Dark Kingdom
3. Death Busters
4. Dead moon Circus
5. Black Moon Clan

1. Shadow Galactica
2. Death Busters (or the anime version of them, especially)
3. Dead Moon Circus
4. Dark Kingdom
5. Black Moon Clan (Wiseman, if he counts, was kind of cool though :wiseman:)


For some of the Myus the Black Moon Clan might be tied with the Dark Kingdom.

Hmm, let’s see...

1. Dark Kingdom (it just happens to include the Shittenou, and I really like Zoisite, and Kunzite and Nephrite to some degree, but I couldn’t care less for Queen Beryl)
2. Death Busters (they would be my ultimate favourites, but thing is, the only members that I like are Professor Tomoe and Mistress 9, I hate Kaolinite, and the Witches 5 are pretty... random, meaning that they don’t really have much of a story going on for themselves, aside from fighting against the Senshi, unlike the Shittenou, though I like their concept, and I only like Viluy and Tellu a little, so...)
3. Dead Moon Circus (I’ll put them in third place, cause they were pretty fun, both the Amazon Trio and the Amazoness Quartet, Zirconia is okay too, though I don’t really care for Nehellenia)
4. Black Moon Clan (they weren’t too bad, though I’ve never really focused on R too much)
5. Shadow Galactica (Galaxia was sorta fine, but the Animamates were boring to me)

A very good question, and i like there are very different ranks !
 For me:

1. Dark Kingdom (In all versions, shitennou power !)
2. Shadow Galactica  (Galaxia is a very good villain and different of others.)
3. Black Moon Clan (I like their story )
4.Death Busters   ( I just don't like withches 5 and Kaolinite... But professor Tomoe and mistress 9 and pharaon 90 are good)
4 bis. Dead Moon Circus ( I don't very like circus in general so... it's diffcult for me. But amazon trio are funny. )

Here's my favorite, though they differ with the version. But I will stick with manga:

1. Dead Moon Circus - the circus theme can be pretty unsettling and the major villain is cool
2. Death Busters - I like how the Witches 5 are matched against the Senshi as far as interests are concerned, as oppose to power. And how all the members are pretty much demons/parasites, infecting hosts.
3. Dark Kingdom - they're alright. good starters for the series
4. Black Moon Clan - There's just a lot of individual members I do not like so that's why they're low here
5. Shadow Galactica - Thinking back, I think it might've been cooler if this seemed more like a war of Senshi against Senshi. But it does not really feel that way (since animamates are fakes and the others just feel more like servants to galaxia, than soldiers)

I'd say, going mostly by the 90s anime versions:

1. Dark Kingdom
2. Shadow Galactica
3. Makaiju aliens
4. Death Busters
5. Fiore / Xenian Flower
6. Dead Moon Circus
7. Black Moon Clan
8. Queen Badiene / sugar fairies
9. Snow Princess Kaguya

If I were to further split that into subgroups, though:

1. Shitennou --- (Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite, Kunzite, + Endymion)
2. Sailor Animamates --- (Iron Mouse, Alluminum Siren, Lead Crow, Tin Nyanko; can only fairly judge the anime versions)
3. Makaiju Aliens --- (Ali, En)
4. Death Busters leaders --- (Tomoe, Germatoid, Kaolinite, Mistress 9, Pharaoh 90)
5. Fiore / Xenian Flower
6. Amazoness Quartet --- (VesVes, PallaPalla, JunJun, CereCere)
7. Dead Moon Circus rulers --- (Zirconia / Nehelenia, Nehelenia's Mirror)
8. Amazon Trio --- (Tiger's Eye, Hawk's Eye, Fish Eye)
9. Dark Kingdom rulers --- (Queen Beryl, Queen Metalia)
10. Witches 5 --- (Eudial, Mimete, and the rest)
11. Sailor Galaxia
12. Black Moon Clan leaders --- (Rubeus, Esmeraude, Saphir, Diamande, Wiseman, Black Lady)
13. Ayakashi sisters --- (Koan, Berthier, Calaveras, Petz)
14. Sugar Fairies --- (Perle, Poupelin, Badiane, various minions)
15. Snow Princess Kaguya

I may have to recalculate that for the manga, but I'm pretty sure I at least still like the Dark Kingdom the most so far in the manga.

ooooohh, I like this thread! I haven't ranked them yet because there's so much to consider! Is it by who you think is the most powerful, or just your favorite?

Pretty much by favorite. If it was by power, then it would probably be in chronicle order, since Sailor Moon upgraded to match the villains each time

Well then in that case................my rankings would be as follows. 

1. Black Moon

2. Dead Moon

3. Death Busters

4. Dark Kingdom

5. Shadow Galactica


my reason being that the Dead Moon and Black Moon had goals that, while dark, were still relateable somewhat, they weren't just waging war for the sake of waging war (initially in the case of the Black Moon), but rather their leader had a dream that got corrupted (staying eternally youthful, and rebelling against lengthened lifespan, ironically enough since they're polar opposites), whereas with the Dark Kingdom, Death Busters, and Shadow Galactica, it's more of just "let's take over the world". I'm going strictly by the anime for this, although my rankings may not be much different even if I included the manga.
