Top tier antagonists

>First villain to stick around after defeat
>Actual motive for going after the Gunsmith Cats
>Multiple encounters with the protagonists
>Isn't incompetent, actually a force to be reckoned with and defeats Rally and Bean Bandit once each
>Total unrepentant scumbag, kills his own henchmen and when given the chance to live and change his ways he confesses his love by screaming how much he wants to mutilate and rape Rally
>Memorable and cool signature weapon

Gray was cool, I wish the villains in Gunsmith Cats never got as personal as Goldie did, things she did to Rally got incredibly awkward really fast.

I would've prefered a dozen of villains like Gray or rivals like Riff Raff.

I really was hoping Rally would kill Goldie when she saved Misty back in Volume 2 or so.
Goldie was just an obnoxious antagonist that I wanted to see get Bonnie'd.

what a fucking garbage ending

>wanted to conquer the world
>nothing else mattered, just straight up domination of everything because she sought an adversary worthy of facing in combat
>a warrior at heart, only wanting that grand finale battle that every true warrior dreams about
>cared deeply about those who fought for/with her, from generic mook soldiers to named supporting antagonists
>respected/admired strength of character/conviction, allies and enemies alike
>is literally the only reason the protagonists take as long as they do to even launch an offensive on the capital
I mean, her only downside is that she's sadistic in her triumph over others - those she defeated that were "unworthy" were either humiliated and executed, tortured to death, or humiliated and then tortured to death.

>observant and smart as a whip
>lets his older brother who he loves protect him even though he's the stronger one
>has a reputation as the cruelest sonuvabitch alive in the series but actually cares for his underlings
>does the dirty jobs no one else wants to do
>chooses to have one last smoke with the guys who beat them instead of raising a stink or crying like a bitch

Gotta love how Goldie basically wins in the end too, Rally retires/team splits up, she gets to operate with her rivals removed, gets Misty as a Rally replacement, and its implied she'll go after Rally again at some point.

fuck him
