Well, one of the big things is he started out rival but actually went villain, and once there continued to dig.While villains often become rivals, and you have occasional temporary relapses like Majin Vegeta, it's almost *unheard* of for the rival to make the bad call, stick with it, and revel in it.
His arc went Aloof Rival - Aloof Rival who's now a friend - Friend/Rival who starts to get jealous - Jealous rival who acts on the jealousy and switches sides - side switcher who *stays there* and becomes an emotionless weapon for his goal, kills his boss and thus becomes free to walk away, accomplishes his goal so he can doubly-so walk back, but by this point he starts to be trapped in his rage and not knowing what to do, gives himself a new goal, and starts going insane with hatred.
Rivals just don't *do* that!
