A villain is a person that poses a threat to the main character and Minor characters in the story. The villain in Nacho Libre (a fellow luchador champ named Ramses) is what the plot in the story revolves all around. Nacho is trying to raise money for the orphans and buy them some salads or something but Ramses is the person that stands in his way.

At the end of the movie when he has a final showdown with Ramses he jumps of a pole and “glides” towards Ramses like an eagle. So we see that the movie is conjoined and it helps us to fully understand the importance of that part of the movie and keep that part of the movie fresh in our head incase another part of the movie requires you to remember that part in order to get the joke or ironic
