>no one really likes due to how bizzare its design is
There's really no reason for this thing to exist.
What's the point of this thing?

Give the young emperor his due respect.

Just a one-off character that Toriyama made solely to deliver the math "gag" during his match.
Adrian Martin
It's really strange that Toriyama never wrote him out, or just ignored his existence. Meanwhile Yajirobe was pretty well liked but got benched just as hard after the Saiyan saga. Then again that character only existed because Toriyama wanted to keep Krillin's voice actress around in the anime.
I guess he just needed to be Tenshinhan's friend? Seems like he mostly got around that by making Yamcha his buddy though, who was in turn close with Goku, Krillin, and Bulma. DB is really just a great guide on how not to handle a supporting cast.
Noah Miller
He was just made for Krillin to have someone to fight in the budoukai, he only stuck around because Tien ended up sticking around and they're fucking buttbuddies.

Explain more?
Eli Lee
Same can be said for Goten.
Nolan Lopez
He's Tien's "partner"

>Krillin is voiced by Mayumi Tanaka
>Krillin had just been killed by Tambourine
>Toriyama feels bad that Tanaka will have nothing to do while Krillin is dead
>Introduces Yajirobe
>One of the first things Goku notes about him in the manga is that he sounds like Krillin
>Tanaka then voices Yajirobe in the anime
And that is literally the only reason why Yajirobe exists. Toriyama never gave a fuck.
