Ernst Stavro Blofeld played by Donald Pleasance is the main villain of You Only Live Twice. It is the very first time audiences are allowed to actually see the head of SPECTRE’s face.

In a well scripted scene Blofeld, emotionlessly questions Bond on his death and comments “You only live twice Mr Bond”. Blofeld calmly instructs Bond to watch Tiger Tanaka’s army be slowly killed on television. After Tiger and his army gain the upper hand over Blofelds lair, the menacing villain invites Mr Osato and Bond to follow him. After killing Mr Osato by demonstrating the price of failure, he is thwarted in his assassination of Bond by a Chinese throwing star from Tiger Tanaka.
