Bucky is the lynchpin around which the titular battle revolves, a major component being his undying friendship with Steve Rogers, and of course, the eventual reveal that he was brainwashed into killing Tony Stark's parents some 25 years earlier.

Considering how lame brainwashed characters can be in fiction, Civil War does a good job avoiding cliches and delving deep into the personal distress Bucky feels, as he's haunted by unshakable memories of all the people he's murdered while under HYDRA programming.

Plus, the fact that Bucky is used like a one-man army throughout the movie keeps him a terrifying character right until the movie's conclusion. For instance, would it have surprised anyone if Bucky had been programmed to kill Cap all along?
