Character Discussion Why aren’t One Piece villains as iconic and memorable as Naruto/DBZ villains?

You know that there’s a difference between knowing the real life Blackbeard and knowing Marshall D. Teach, right?
Lucci, Doflamingo, Crocodile and Katakuri are just as iconic and memorable as any of those characters you listed except maybe the Dragon Ball ones, and that'd be because Dragon Ball all but defined the genre and is infinitely more well known than both One Piece and Naruto combined, though I have no idea why you put Super Buu's irrelevant ass on this list lmao.
Oh brotha
That’s not even where I am coming from
This is the reason why I say said that st

For Dragon Ball villains, they generally have a real level and aura of threat and near-invicibility for a time that One Piece villains lack, and they are allowed to defeat, give brutal beatings and even kill the heroes.
As for Naruto villains I don't know for the others, I had stopped reading after Orochimaru, but Orochimaru was in a whole entire league of threat and fear compared to OP antagonists, I had nightmares after watching him for the first time, and he was as much as a physical threat as a psychological terror as seen with how he was able of terrorizing Sasuke and leaving deep trauma in him and other characters.
Also I don't think that Dragon Ball and Naruto downplay their antagonists like One Piece does.
Also most OP antagonists don't have much of a dynamic and real and interesting relation with Luffy and the Straw Hats, save for Arlong with Nami.

Because One Piece villians can't get a W if their lives depended on it (and a few cases it actually does), and most anime iconic villians actually have character connections with the protagonists one way or another. Meanwhile in One Piece most villian encounters are usually just the Straw hats pulling up on the villians' turf. It also doesn't help that whereas the villians in other mangas are direct and constant threats to the protagonists or their close ones, the ones in One Piece are usually in the background until the Straw Hats come to them.
Basically, the antagonists/villians in other mangas are usually active and serve as direct opposition to the main characters/heroes while the ones in One Piece are pretty much doing things that really don't affect the lives of the MCs, or aren't really even doing anything at all.

How do they know Frieza? LMAO, them knowing Blackbeard makes more sense as its based on real Edward Teach.
You are a clown who is being butthurt due to Teach scarring Shanks lmao.
Don't compare stoic shallow and weakass NT villains to the Goat.
