Breaking Bad: 10 Best Characters Who Only Appeared In One Episode

8. Emilio Koyama (Pilot)

Breaking Bad Hugo
AMC

When you step back and think about it, this character was truly groundbreaking. He set multiple records in Breaking Bad, such as being the first antagonist, and the first person to bite the bullet. He even managed to do it all in the show's debut episode.

As the right-hand man to Krazy-8, Emilio had a big part to play in the start-up of Jesse and Walt's partnership. He acted as Jesse's cooking partner for the pilot, but ended up getting killed by Walter after being locked in an RV with some dangerous chemicals.

There's no denying that Emilio was a secondary figure next to the real first villain - that being his cousin Krazy-8 - but still, he played a major role in the first episode, and deserves credit for that.

Now technically, he did pop up in the next episode as well, but this was in the form of a dead body turned human smoothie. Thus, it seems fair to let that one slide - or perhaps more appropriately, melt.
