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

Golden Frieza is cool, only because I'm a Frieza fan.
Hit feels like a GT character that fell into Super. He's alright but he comes off as an edgy Piccolo.
Didn't watch Goku Black Saga
Jiren was pretty intimidating at first ngl. His theme was awesome. I think he'd have been much more memorable if the animation wasn't so inconsistent and the show wasn't aimed at 8 year olds in Japan. Having to tone down how much blood you can show really makes the entire show suffer, IMO.
Moro was hot & cold. Don't think he had any aura to speak of. The Heeters were even worse lmfao.
Hbu?

Resurrection of F was shameless fanservice, but Frieza was really cool in the ToP
I liked Hit because he had a unique fighting style and put the cast in their place after they steamrolled through the rest of Universe 6.
Zamasu was mid.
Jiren really grew on me. He felt boring and Kaido-esque at the beginning, but I liked the direction they went with him and his philosophy about strength and friendship later in the ToP. Even though the show is aimed for 8 year olds, they still made their “meathead” villain into a far more interesting character than Crydo lol.
Moro had a cool design and somewhat interesting abilities, but that’s about it. Moro and Gas just feel like filler meant to delay Goku surpassing Beerus in the manga (he should have surpassed Beerus in the ToP like he was implied to in the manga, but Toyotaro knows Beerus will become another Krillin/Tien/Yamcha the moment Goku surpasses him, so Beerus’s power level keeps on getting retconned)

He only had bad aura when fighting Gotenks
It's funny, I'm the opposite. I liked him a lot more going into it and the more we learned, the worse Jiren became. He was introduced around the same time as Kata and had the same aura as him, which was wild.
Moro was all over the place in a bad way, like Buu. He went from a goat grandpa to a weird Cell/Cooler love child.
It really robbed him of an identity IMO. Goku pulling out a perfect susano'o doesn't help that arc either
