Viskugeta, the star is the one the series focuses on, not the deus ex macina/finishing move in a fight. It's like Killua from Hunter x Hunter. He started off as just one of Gon's friends. Next thing you know, there's an entire arc revolving around him that the other two friends never get, then down the line, the protagonist is unconscious for an entire arc & Killua becomes the main focus. Then there's Noblesse. It was suppised to be about Raizel, but in the end, he mostly just quietly stood on the side while Frankenstein did everything & then would show up st the last possible moment to throw the last punch.

My guess is that Polnareff scored #1 on Jump's popularity polls for the series, prompting editors to insist that Araki expand on his character.
