 Villain of the week - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Villain of the week" (or, depending on genre, "monster of the week") is a term that describes the nature of one-use antagonists in episodic fiction, specifically ongoing American genre-based television series.
Sometimes the villain will return later in the series but now having a larger role in the story (such as the character Barry the Butcher in the Japanese manga Fullmetal Alchemist).
Another reason for using this format is that it is convenient for writers to supply a continuous and varied amount of challenges for the protagonists to overcome.
