[LES]There is barely main villains/final bosses with elemental based powers

General

When i mean elemental based powers, i mean the most basic ones like fire, water, electricity, ice, earth or wind. Most villains with these type of elements always get relegated to minor side villains, meanwhile the big bad is almost always given more "complex" concepts as powers; like time, space, darkness, reality benders, "bad touch", or whatever hax bullshit you can imagine like Aizen, Ywach, most Jojo villains, or stockpile abilities like AFO, or just straight up simply being overpowered mfs with insane strenght and power like Darkseid, Doomsday, Viltrumites or DBZ villains.

In Demon Slayer for example, i feel Muzan shouldve had Domas ice powers, especially because Muzans fight was really underwhelming with him just swinging his meat-made whips around for 20 chapters, it also thematically could have been more interesting because it would create a good contrast with Tanjiros sun breathing. Not to mention how eye candy these ice powers would be for the final fight.

Of the top of my head, stories with main villains or final bosses with elemental powers are

  • Avatar TLA for obvious reasons, with Fire Lord Ozai as final boss (fire powers)
  • Sonic Adventure 1 with Chaos (water powers)
  • Power Rangers Operation Overdrive with Flurious (ice powers)

One Piece at some point was close to potentially have a elemental final boss in Akainu, but at this point in the story thats completely out of the windows.
