Ngl, I think the unironic reason Orochimaru got shafted so much is he was doing so dogshit in popularity polls
I can´t find an english translation for the image, but it´s on the wiki as the sixth poll, and it´s pretty dogshit preformance for Orochimaru, he´s 24, in his own arc. This is literally worse then Asuma, while Deidara is doing better then the MC, and Sasori isn´t much behind....
And it´s pretty consistently like that for whatever reason. Even during part 1 where he was the main villain of the series, he was always in the 20s. I wonder why though, I feel like he might have done better outside of Japan?
