I never thought he was a good villain, let alone a good final villain.

People don’t like him because he’s particularly good at dueling. He’s a good antagonist bc he actually thought through his ideas and waited for the perfect time to execute his plan. Not to mention his complete insanity and ambition was fun to watch

A good villain doesn't always need to win fights or be exceptionally strong. What makes him so good is his charisma and his character which is so entertaining and actually well written for a series like this. His presence is amazing and his ambitions and backstory especially when being revealed in the final arc are pretty good imo

Him becoming a victim of Marik made him look pathetic.

That duel is the best in the whole series but he had to lose because of Anime plot

In the anime, not really. He lost to Atem in both their first and second duel, although the Duelist Kingdom duel only happened in the anime. Then he lost the duel against Yugi during the World of Memory arc. His other duels involved beating Ghost Kotsuzuka, losing to Yami Marik, and having an unresolved duel with Kaiba in the anime. So his dueling record was crap.

The only thing he was good at was planning ahead since he implanted a bit of his soul into the Millennium Puzzle, thereby setting up future events. Also in the manga he had been working on the Shadow RPG since Battle City, so that subplot was foreshadowed way ahead of time.

Bakura was a good side villain, as a main villain he wasn’t too great though honestly imo, like when Marik was the main villain I felt Bakura was a great side villain and was equally a threatening presence

Bakura himself, not really. But i like how he's a presence through the whole series. I like the concept of an arc villain and a seperate villain acting independently throughout. Especially how he often goes after the other villains.

Yami Bakura is a good villain who was manipulated by Zorc Necrophades.

Er, no? Yami Bakura was literally the present day incarnation of Zorc who knowingly set things in motion to resurrect Zorc, because he was a piece of Zorc himself. He wasn't manipulated. It was Thief King Bakura from the world of memory who was manipulated and used.
