Ciaossu!
I made this thread to ask people here about the antagonists of other animes/mangas, whether major or minor. But it's more of the "antagonists who were described as too powerful in the series but were pawned easily in few episodes or chapters by the protagonist/s." I've thought of this while scanning in the Katekyo Hitman Reborn thread and I agreed on the comment about the antagonist in a certain arc.
The first one to come in mind was
Spoiler:
Eneru of One Piece, the Thunder God or what-so-ever. He was able to take down many of the characters but was pawned easily by Luffy when they confronted each other. I guess it's more of the element's fault. Thunder versus rubber = no effect to the rubber's side.
The second one was
Spoiler:
Byakuran of the Future Arc in Katekyo Hitman Reborn. I mean, for how many episodes and chapters, he was considered as powerful as a God. But he was pawned by Tsuna within a few episodes or chapters. Well, he should be blamed because he let Tsuna to power up that much. But it's also his fault for being a not-so-easy target for Tsuna.
Who else comes in your mind?

This isn't common in the shounen henre, then I can't think about anyone right now but...
Spoiler:
about Enel, he WAS REALLY strong, the only reason the beat him was because of Luffy's body, which is immune to electricity.
Spoiler:
And Byakuran was hailed because of his God-like powers to transcend dimensions, not because of his fighting powers.

Eneru wasn't actually beaten that easily. True, he couldn't do any harm to Luffy due to his disadvantage, but he was still able to make use of his powers in other means and was able to fight him normally. If he was easily beaten, he wouldn't have been able to fight Luffy in the first place. So I'm pretty sure Eneru isn't part of the "Strong Antagonist who got beaten easily".
If there was really one I can think of it's...
Spoiler:
Aizen from Bleach. He was just too powerful who can defeat all the Shinigami without even breaking a sweat and even trolled every one of them. But then Ichigo defeated him for an episode or two. Even for an anime, that's just pushing it. But yeah, Aizen is definitely part of this group.

Spoiler:
Tsuna pawning Byakuran in an instant was justified because the Vongola rings had been returned to their original state (the previous state was like, a compressed one so the flame it gives is lower than it's supposed to) so yeah. Tsuna had a hard time fighting Byakuran when he didn't have the original ring

Spoiler:
To be fair, Byakuran is "godly" because he holds the Mare ring, and I personally think holding the original Sky Vongola ring is more "godly" because as they said, it surpasses both the Arcobaleno's pacifier and the Mare rings with regards to flame value That's gotta be one heck of an accessory

That's more like it
Speaking of another antagonist that got pawned easily, Yammy from Bleach is certainly up there

Kubo is a troll. Even the character he made is a troll.
