Ghirahim (Skyward Sword)

Admittedly, none of the points where you fight Ghirahim in Skyward Sword are that interesting mechanically. However, the guy has to get points for serving lewks at every turn. From the emo haircut, the flashy red-and-orange shawl, the tights with the diamond-pattern cutouts, this man is a queer-coded menace who out-fashions everyone else in Hyrule. By the time you reach his final fight, you love to hate this dude. He is beauty and grace, and it’s fine that he keeps doing that weird shit with his tongue because this is a man with rizz for days. It makes his boss fights all the more entertaining, because while they’re pretty standard for a Skyward Sword enemy, Ghirahim’s theatricality oozes off every swing of his sword. The best part is when you’re fighting him the last time and after spending the game composed and cocky, he’s finally fed up with your shit and pulls out a Cloud Strife-ass Buster Sword and just starts swinging. All his poise and style disappear in favor of brute force, and his true nature is laid bare for all to see. — Kenneth Shepard
