^^ It is that one mistake that they won't live it down, fandom aside.
Thing is that in the end eve for a YMMV the discussion will be heated. I support keeping it as the "Memetic Loser" as a lot of people haven't watched all the {{Dragon Ball}} series and / or the neutral name fits more the situation.
Ironically I am bringing an in Universe example and one that the fandom debates but considering the situation of the series...

Video Game Example
* {{Megaman Legends}}: Brings us [[{{Loveable Rogue}} Teisel Bonne]], who whenever he has to fight against Megaman he is bound to lose however given simply fighting against a highly advanced precursor combat android in the Legends games. In the other games he gets captured early to the point that some parts of the Fandom think of him like this while forgetting that besides doing all the raiding schemes before Bon Bonne and Tron came into scene.
** In Universe there is the case of Denise Marmalade (the {{Hero Antagonist}}) in The Misadventures of Tron Bonne. Suffering the same kind of punishment that Tron gets without a Mecha (on the rounds on the third she gets it but it is a variant of a construction one barely modified) and fits the {{Failure Hero}} trope to a T. In universe even Tron that is a {{Villain Protagonist}} feels sorry for her and [[{{Throw The Dog A Bone}} gives as a farewell present]] the {{Big Bad}} of the game. Cue the {{Crowning Moment of Heartwarming}} that is when Teisel says that Tron cares for her friend [[{{Friendship Denial}} (which she denies)]].
