I enjoyed this post.
So why do I like Ogura so much? Honestly I dont know for sure but let me try to explain. First of he is better (and more original) than the other three(two powerhungry villains (one being a possible K Rool ripoff) and one "he doesnt love me so I will rise h***" are no match for things revenge and freedom wanting eeldiot)For me Ogura is a mixture of a rather intelligent,somewhat plotting (proved in DNS 2) revenge wanting villain which is always good. However DnS 3 does show a more humane side of him (ahem I cant seriously be the only one who thinks that the scene where he harassess some seal kids ONLY because they remind him of his deceased minions/children is wrong in so many levels) also this guys wish for freedom is only rivialed by Antasma from the mario series imo. And finally, the way Oguras arc was finished is....satisfying. i mean i feel sorry for him but I rather see him go away in this way than dilute in something less original and becomes too boring. Also the scene in which he just rushes to the rescue with the last evil crystal is in my top 10 best scenes in games and top 10 best sacrifices in ANY MEDIA

Cool, so Ogura made it to #4!
I agree with your reasoning. Ogura was not necessarily power hungry, and he was not a simple 'take over the world' "big bad" type character. I feel that he was misunderstood and simply wanted respect. That alone I admire about Ogura.
As you say, I also think that last scene in Densetsu no Starfy 3 was very good. It made me feel sad for Ogura. In this game, it proved that he had a heart and inner strength (unlike Mashtooth who is just power hungry), because despite Starfy and friends being his enemies; he saved their lives.
I also agree that he is original. I love his design; a blue/white demonic eel. It's not a common character to base a villain on.
And yes, I like how Ogura has a strong desire to become free from his imprisonment in the jar. I think he has a well defined personality, though I can't tell other than a lot of the time he speaks in katakana suggesting he is probably quite frightening. I would like to see how he talks in a fan translation. If there is ever a Starfy anime, then it would be nice to have a better opinion of his character.
