That's clearly not the case at all.

Nowhere is it stated that the Big Bad is the cause of the series. The Big Bad is the prominent, most reoccurring antagonist that appears throughout the series, but that doesn't mean they're the reason why the story exists. That's what the Heavy is for. The Heavy is the reason why the story exists to begin with and if you take that villain out, the series wouldn't exist.

You can check this here in the descriptions.
