Joffrey Baratheon is one of the main antagonists of A Song of Ice and Fire and its television adaptation Game of Thrones. He was portrayed by Jack Gleeson.

What Makes Him a Shonen Villain?[]

  • Villainous: Joffrey ordered the execution of Eddard Stark with Sansa watching it for his own amusements, which led to him starting the War of the Five Kings.
  • Power-Hungry: After being declared king and protector of Westeros, Joffrey became obsessed with the privilege and luxuries that comes with being a ruler.
  • Pursues a Big-End Goal: After becoming the King of Westeros, Joffrey wants to rule the world and become admired as a powerful ruler.
  • Arrogant: Joffrey views himself as a beloved and powerful ruler/warrior when, in reality, he is a selfish coward who is hated by everyone for his cruel treatment towards them.
  • Cold-Hearted/Ruthless: Joffrey has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, as he doesn't value anyone in his life, not even his own family and is quick to have those he sees as a threat, no matter how innocent they are, executed.
  • Short-Tempered: Joffrey gets quickly angered when being insulted, thrown in the face with cow pie or having his ego tested by those around him.
  • Psychopathic: Joffrey is completely devoid of empathy and feels absolutely no guilt for his misdeeds.
  • Sadistic: Joffrey takes extreme pleasure and seeks entertainment in seeing people going through pain and suffering.
  • Freudian Excuse: Though it doesn't excuse his awful behavior or cruel treatment of his subjects, much of Joffrey's psychopathic behavior is a result of his "father" Robert's negligence, his mother Cersei's constant coddling and generally growing up without any positive role models in his life.
  • Serves a Foil to the Hero: Robb Stark is the foil to Joffrey in that the former is a loyal leader who is willing to fight first in the line whereas the ladder is a selfish coward who constantly order others to do the dirty work for him.
  • Bloodthirsty: Though a coward in combat, Joffrey has no issue with directly inflicting pain on those who don't pose a threat to him and gets thrilled about it.
  • Has Comedic Moments: While these instances don't take away from his heinousness and cruelty, Joffrey's childish outbursts, bratty behavior, idiotic thoughts and slaps from his uncle Tyrion make the audience laugh as his expense.
