** \\\'\\\'\\\'Is he actually popular? It sounds more like \\\"he\\\'s badass\\\" not \\\"he\\\'s popular and minor.\\\"\\\'\\\'\\\'
* Similarly, the villain who follows Blue - Mercenary Tao Pai Pai, who kills Blue \\\'\\\'with his tongue\\\'\\\' and is the first villain to flat-out \\\'\\\'defeat\\\'\\\' Goku, not to mention the first legitimate KnightOfCerebus the series has ever had, before even Piccolo.
** \\\'\\\'\\\'I think he would count. He\\\'s a KnightOfCerebus but he\\\'s still pretty minor in the grand scheme of things, and he\\\'s pretty popular I believe\\\'\\\'\\\'
* Demon King Piccolo for being the KnightOfCerebus that turned \\\'\\\'Dragon Ball\\\'\\\' from a lighthearted adventure series, to the action-pack drama we know it today. He is also one of the most [[GeniusBruiser cunning]] villains in the show who outwitted the heroes and never succumb to holding the VillainBall like many later enemies. Even Toriyama himself says that Piccolo is still his favorite villain.
** \\\'\\\'\\\'Favorite is reasonable, but he\\\'s the most prominent villain in (pre-Z) DB. That seems not ensemble-y enough.\\\'\\\'\\\'
* Akkuman/Devilman for having what could be considered the most powerful attack in all of Dragon Ball/Z. Hell he was even a playable character in \\\'\\\'Budokai Tenkaichi 3\\\'\\\' (where he even gets his own what-if story), \\\'\\\'Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure\\\'\\\', and \\\'\\\'Dragon Ball: The Revenge of King Piccolo\\\'\\\'.
** \\\'\\\'\\\'Seems fine\\\'\\\'\\\'.
* Yamcha. Ironically, the more he seems to fade away, the larger, or at least more vocal, his fanbase becomes. For whatever reason, Yamcha is easily among the more popular human characters in \\\'\\\'Dragon Ball\\\'\\\', getting his own spin-off manga, having an entire, long-running fan manga dedicated to him (\\\'\\\'Dragon Ball Z Elsewhere\\\'\\\') and is a prominent player in a large number of fanworks (Like his Android 17 analogue in \\\'\\\'Webcomic/DragonBallMultiverse\\\'\\\' or TheWoobie from \\\'\\\'WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged\\\'\\\'). People were even disappointed when Yamcha wasn\\\'t chosen as a warrior to join the Tournament of Power in \\\'\\\'Super\\\'\\\'. According to a poll done by a Japanese magazine, \\\'\\\'Yamcha was the most requested character who people wanted to see helping Universe 7\\\'\\\' (By comparison, Gotenks, Pikkon, \\\'\\\'Future Trunks\\\'\\\', or \\\'\\\'Cell\\\'\\\' didn\\\'t even reach that high.)
*** Fans particularly found the spin off manga \\\"Reborn as Yamcha\\\" particularly gratifying as by having someone else in Yamcha’s body the desert bandit can go though the needed TrainingFromHell. So when it cuts to his embarrassing death by exploding Saibaman, it’s more the awesome to see Yamcha [[SmokeShield standing unharmed]].
** \\\'\\\'\\\'Example indentation aside, seems like he counts\\\'\\\'\\\'.
