    I really can't recall how many antagonist groups I've read or watched so far, but usually, how many members are there in antagonistic organizations that oppose the protagonist in a action stories with superpowers? I got curious on how many members there are in the antagonistic group before some members or the leader of said group change sides to the protagonist or are defeated based on narrative plot of the author. Favorably action themed stories from JP or KR novels, since most C novels are... sect level canon fodder enemies. Anime, visual novels, and games are also included. Western... not so much~

    I feel like I see 6-10 more often. They are usually called "10 something" or "8 gates of something" or the most obvious "7 sins"

    Depending on how many times they pulls out "but wait, there's bigger bad behind them!", but each batch is usually not more than 10.

    There is always the 33 knights or demons or whatever in Kr cuz authors like to use the 72 demons of Solomon as a point.
