The thing about Yamcha is that, he knows he's not the strongest. Up against opponents like Vegeta, Nappa, or even Cell, he knows he's outclassed. Even still, he gets up, pulls that fighting stance, and starts throwing punches. Does he know he's probably gonna die? Yeah. Does he care? If it means protecting people, not a bit. THAT'S why Yamcha is my favorite character.

In the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament opening round Yamcha really was equal to Tien (at least in the beginning), and it showed how much he had progressed and developed as a fighter, training under the Turtle Hermit. In Z, in my opinion, he was wrongly used and made look weak and forgettable side character. In the original DB he was a worthy opponent to anyone, and a considerable side character. Yamcha rocks!

Again you're not wrong but it should also be taken into account that Fortuneteller Baba Interfered with the fight first by singing so Yamcha couldn't hear where the invisible man was moving.
Fun fact: The Moro arc in Super's manga made him one of the leaders of the squads that they used to fight Moro, and he got a few kills to brag about too 😉
Tintillo Roldan But both their images have been (Frieza not so much) slaughtered, so having them come back as strong characters would be kinda ridiculous.
This is honestly one of the best songs I’ve ever heard in my life, even if the only words I know are “Yamacha-san” and “Roga Fufu Ken”. It shows the utter greatness that is the best character Yamcha. I would honestly want an episode in the next season of Dragon Ball where they just bring back the bandit outfit, and have him messing with Goku and co. With practical jokes, but it gets to a point where Goku or Vegeta catch onto him and challenge him to a fight and he puts up a decent one. That would make my day and be an awesome Yamcha Episode. I miss the wolf fang fist and the spirit ball.
Yup, he had the coolest attacks he invented ALL ON HIS OWN. And he made them so much quicker than Muten made Kamehameha. If you ask me he should be the real successor to Muten Roshi because of that!

I hate that the “fans” who claim that Yamcha is a joke. He was pretty cool in Dragon Ball. People forget Yamcha won that fight against the Saibamen and it was the Saibaman that decided to go that far. Not to mention the fact that he fought him too save Krillen knowing he was brought back previously and that Yamcha would be able to come back with the dragon balls. And he was doing what he had too do up until the Cell Saga. The Buu Saga And GT didn’t really use him but better not use him then make him a joke like Super did. Seriously the fact the jokes of Yamcha got into the show. You know it’s a problem when it went that far. Seriously was it team four star that did it or something
actually TFS have him lampshade how overdone the "yamcha is weak" joke is and how he's only human, and if anything Krillin is an idiot for continuing to try.
Boy TFS was NOT the one to make those jokes prominent, those existed way before and will persist after. It's Toriyama deciding to make him the first one to fail so many times that put his failures in infamy. When you consistently as an author make a character job like that, it's no wonder so many fans looked past his positive qualities.
@@savageraccoon163 They had him completely change personalities part way through, along with his voice. At first he was just an overconfident douche, then he switched to being a coward. But frankly I think being a coward fits Yamcha in an abridged setting, considering his involvement in the series by the time of DBZ. They ended up making a version of the character that I liked to see.
C'moon Yamcha is simply one of the best characters ever. Funny guy, latin lover, one of the most powerful humans of every manga...and...th roga fu-fu ken is one of the most epic fighting moves ever created
Ah, Yamcha... such a great character he could have been... Well liked by the Japanese fanbase (coming 15 in the Top 20 poll beating Tenshihan, Bulma and even Android 17) and the one with the coolest character design before the introduction of the Super Saiyan transformation... It's such a pity Toriyama decided to focus on superhuman-type fights rather than actual character development. It's such bad writing at what Yamcha had become by the Android Saga and personally the thing that I find unforgivable is that he didn't end up with Bulma. Vegeta and Bulma hooking up was just a (easy) plot device to introduce more Saiyans to the party. However, in the whole anime, we never see the 2 of them bonding (Bulma shows some attraction to Vegeta in the anime, but's that all). Heck, Vegeta and Trunks (be it Mirai Trunks or Kid Trunks) have more moments that Bulma and Vegeta. It's really sad that in the end, not only he was relegated as one of the weakest characters but he was just simply a wasted character... Also, let's not forget Dragon Ball was intended pretty much as a action gag manga (hence some of the very funny scenes Yamcha was shown in) before Toriyama decided to do a type of manga (a nekketsu shounen) he was not good at... -_-
Toriyama didn't give up on character development. Many people such as Krillin, Vegeta, Gohan, Master Roshi, and even the pilaf gang still get development in dragon ball super
Jantheking To have to wait for decades in the form of a very lackluster TV anime for characters to have some development... yes Toriyama did give up on character development a long time ago - a very easy example Vegeta himself: the fact that he let Cell achieve his final form just for the sake of his pride and the defeat he faced because of it - the consequence of that should have been a major development in his character to show some humility yet we leave him as a warrior who gives up on fighting at the end to his usual self at the start of Buu... Yes he changed from a ruthless murderer to a protector of the Earth at the end but while it started quite amazing as a reluctant ally to the Z Fighters, his overall change in Buu came out of nowhere since there was no built up to it - he kills a bunch of innocents at the Arena just to fight Goku then decides to protect the Earth? Even if the Dragon Balls are a deus ex machina, that shouldn’t have been an excuse.
Jantheking You mention every other character ”development” in the show except for literally the best one, Piccolo. Vegeta’s development is honestly one of the worst character development out there in all of fiction and he really only gets a pass because dragon ball is pretty old.
Dr.TacoPHD123 Piccolo and Gohan have the best character development of the series (till the end of the Cell Saga at least... ) Recently I was watching Dragon Ball after a really long time and that opening scene of We are Angels really got me - Piccolo should have been a mentor figure (along with Vegeta to some degree) and letting Gohan be the protagonist, but it seems for Toriyama everytime he doesn’t know what to do with his characters, he turns into running gags - Piccolo, Krillin, Gohan, Goku, Vegeta...
Yamcha’s always gonna be cool to me. I relate to him a lot (whether that’s good or bad is up to you), and he’s just kind of an underdog/dark horse and I tend to like those kinds of characters
i hate yamcha haters. they think they're so hip when they're just as bad as the "my favorite character is more powerful and therefor better than yours!" side of the fanbase. not only do i blame toriyama's lack of writing of these characters (yamcha, tien, piccolo, chaotzu,) but also team fourstar and its sheep of fans who love to quote and get automatic thumbs up.
pfft, that's our opinion, we don't care what you think about Yamcha, when either you like him or not. we won't bother you only if you bring us up for no reason just because we dissed on your so called favorite character.
It's honestly quite dissapponting that they never explored his rivalry with Goku right after the first tournament arc, despite them building that up during the Pilaf arc. He was a really compelling character when he was first introduced.
I know you're just fucking with me, but the fact that you managed to include a reference to both my favorite video game and favorite anime in one post makes you awesome
blujay1524 Honest answer: because once he introduced aliens, there was only so much you could do before a human was outclassed. In fact, that was the point, that the aliens could so easily outclass the threats that Goku had faced up until that point. Once the Super Saiyan was introduced, any hopes of the DB cast catching up were next to none. But, by that point Toriyama had brought in Vegeta, so at least Goku still had a rival.
Nope. Toriyama is still screwing him. He isn't in Universal Survival Arc team. Too sad. Once he was the real badass in Dragon Ball. Then Dragon Ball Z happened. Him and all other human fighters became worthless.
I was only referring to the baseball episode and besides he got to be a tough boss in a parallel quest in Xenoverse 2, (Time Breaker Yamcha even gets a separate character slot from normal Yamcha) and he even has his own manga now. Mix that with his major episode and I think he made quite the comeback. It is definitely odd he's not in the universe 7 team though I guess Yamcha can't be in the limelight for too long. 😕
I can see what you mean about the Earthlings, though Kuririn stayed very relevant despite his comparatively lackluster power and Tenshinhan still got cool stuff to do (including saving Dende therefore the Dragon Balls). Yajirobe was a lifesaver during the Saiyan arc and was the honorary "bean daddy" which was always a help. Mr.Satan's deception of Earth's inhabitants saved the universe and the all of the Earthlings played a significant part in the formation of Goku's Genki Dama which defeated Buu. Even our beloved Yamcha saved Goku from the heart virus.
+Ferhat Tunctan Yamcha was never a badass. He got into a panic when he saw girls at first, then ran away like a whiny bitch when Goku punched one of his teeth out and in the tournaments he alway got screwed over. He had some good fights but only ever won one fight (not counting preliminaries) against the invisible man at Baba's palace.
@Boel B Sort of how it felt for me. The amount of effort put into Dragon Balls first 2 arcs compared to Z baffles me. The Saiyan Saga is still good even if it isn't perfect, but the rest of Z is honestly really weak and filled with problems.
I like Yamcha as a character! People shit on him a lot. His song is awesome. I feel he’s not given a fair chance a lot. He tends to have quite a bit of misfortunes. ❤️
Yamcha appeared on like the 5th or 6th episode of Dragon Ball, but instantly I was able to relate to him on a personal level. I have yet to have encountered another DB/DBZ character that I felt a similar connection to
some Wolf Fang Fist and Sokidan action would have been hype.... I loudly booed in a packed theater when Tien Shinhan said "I though it would be too much for Yamcha and Chiaotzu" the hell AT when did Tien become Yamcha's keeper? I'll write it off they just wanted to show off and establish Jaco to DBZ masses
Imagine this: The ToP saga is on screen. Goku vs Kefla and Vegeta vs Toppo. Yamcha is fighting alone against 5 oponents. He is quite damaged from previous attacks of other opponents. He fells to the ground knowing that he will lose. Sudenly Vegeta shouts: "This piece of trash can't even fight anymore, someone just end him." Everything turns silent as a beam of holy light emites from the ground. Everyone stands from their seats, even Zeno and Grand Priest. It is Yamcha, standing menacingly with a death stare at Vegeta. *Wolf fang hurricane starts playing* Sudently Yamcha disepears, reapearing behind Toppo landing a Godly Wolf fang fist. Toppo gets blown out of the ring. Then Yamcha turns on the prince of all Sayians himself and says in a cold way: "Looks like your opponent is gone, after this tournament, Vegeta, you will learn your place, dont worry, I will settle the matter with you." Vegeta, annoyed but at the same time scared as hell thinks: "How did he achieve this form sooner than me, with no skill at all." He turns back on Jiren, as he is paralyzed by enourmous fear. The last thing Jiren saw was a glimpse of light and he was knocked out by one single Sokidan.
I think the humans were better characters than the Saiyans in terms of personality, but DBZ fans only rate characters based on how badass they are, it seems. Definitely would've loved to see them do more with them. I mean, if nothing else, they coulda given them Super Human forms. DB/Z was already the king of ass-pulls, so you can't tell me it wouldn't make sense, lol.
They had a ton of golden opportunities to let them shine, too. I get that it was basically the rule that Goku had to defeat the arc villain, but all the secondary villains could've easily gone to the humans rather than just letting the Saiyans do literally everything. It isn't like they didn't train, either. Let the guys show their work for fuck's sake.
Only reason YamCha died in the Saiyan saga was because he let his guard down. I would be willing to bet that he could fight Nappa at a near even level. And the only reason he was left behind was because he's not a Saiyan.
That would certainly coincide with what is known as the "Worf Effect". Basically, take the strongest guy in the group and have them lose against the new enemy to validate the threat that said enemy poses to the heroes. The only reason why it wasn't Piccolo was because he had a character arc with Gohan that had to play out to the end.
@@JanetStarChild Yamcha was the third weakest person there (Beating Gohan and Chaozu), so he certainly wasn't the strongest guy in the group, and Nappa would've surely beaten the hell out of him, that being said, he was barely stronger than the Saibamen, yet was able to take it out, easily, in 40 seconds, so he probably would've at least put up a good fight.
@@diddlypoop The problem here is you're going by scribbled power levels ...and numbers ultimately mean nothing... I go by what I see; performance; the visual evidence. Fact of the matter is that we see plenty of evidence that Yamcha was one of the top fighters there, virtually equal with Tien. Those two did the best in their training at Kami's lookout. Krillin, Chaozu and Yajerobi were the stragglers.
The fact that this is Yamcha's voice actor singing is amazing.
He also did the opening from Kamen Rider Climax Heroes.
Also voices Amuro Ray from the Gundam Franchise

Spoilers? You know DBZ is 20 years old, right?
Greg Candalez even more

Your not wrong but you forgot the time when Yamcha beat the Invisible man
Again you're not wrong but it should also be taken into account that Fortuneteller Baba Interfered with the fight first by singing so Yamcha couldn't hear where the invisible man was moving.
If anyone forgets how badass Yamcha is you can just show him this video.
Fun fact: The Moro arc in Super's manga made him one of the leaders of the squads that they used to fight Moro, and he got a few kills to brag about too 😉
When Dragon Ball FighterZ comes out, I'm gonna play this while I wreck Vegeta players.
And Nappas.
Sounds good.

Did you do it? Fellow Yamaha main.
@@phillipwilde770 I did. Pretty fun ngl
Dragon Ball gives to Yamcha a great personality and a lot of fighting technique always amazing ! But DBZ has killed all... :(
Well, since Frieza is getting a power up, we can hope Yamcha gets one too XD
Tintillo Roldan What are you talking about? They're both buried.
What are you talking about? Yamcha ended up alive in DBZ, and Frieza is coming back for the movie.
Tintillo Roldan
But both their images have been (Frieza not so much) slaughtered, so having them come back as strong characters would be kinda ridiculous.
Frieza is already doing that, haven't you seen the trailers? He is getting a new transformation.
Yamcha is one of my favorite Dragon Ball characters (No joke)
Yamcha mains rise for your national anthem.
the time when yamcha was badass...
He was never really all that badass .-.
Jessica Klaus still... he was

This is honestly one of the best songs I’ve ever heard in my life, even if the only words I know are “Yamacha-san” and “Roga Fufu Ken”. It shows the utter greatness that is the best character Yamcha. I would honestly want an episode in the next season of Dragon Ball where they just bring back the bandit outfit, and have him messing with Goku and co. With practical jokes, but it gets to a point where Goku or Vegeta catch onto him and challenge him to a fight and he puts up a decent one. That would make my day and be an awesome Yamcha Episode. I miss the wolf fang fist and the spirit ball.
Yup, he had the coolest attacks he invented ALL ON HIS OWN. And he made them so much quicker than Muten made Kamehameha. If you ask me he should be the real successor to Muten Roshi because of that!
Yamcha and Gohan have the same haircut several times = Chi Chi cuts Yamcha's hair.

Dragon Ball FighterZ hype. Yamcha is top tier ! And so badass !
Reiji Arisu hell yeah!!
Yeah, he is my favourite Character in FighterZ.
I love his Dramatic Finish against Nappa! Shot the Saibaman right back into the Saiyan bastard!
@@lancecurry7538 I don't give a fuck what people say, in my mind that's canon
I hate that the “fans” who claim that Yamcha is a joke. He was pretty cool in Dragon Ball. People forget Yamcha won that fight against the Saibamen and it was the Saibaman that decided to go that far. Not to mention the fact that he fought him too save Krillen knowing he was brought back previously and that Yamcha would be able to come back with the dragon balls. And he was doing what he had too do up until the Cell Saga. The Buu Saga And GT didn’t really use him but better not use him then make him a joke like Super did. Seriously the fact the jokes of Yamcha got into the show. You know it’s a problem when it went that far. Seriously was it team four star that did it or something
bUt yAmChA dIeS lOl
actually TFS have him lampshade how overdone the "yamcha is weak" joke is and how he's only human, and if anything Krillin is an idiot for continuing to try.
Boy TFS was NOT the one to make those jokes prominent, those existed way before and will persist after. It's Toriyama deciding to make him the first one to fail so many times that put his failures in infamy. When you consistently as an author make a character job like that, it's no wonder so many fans looked past his positive qualities.
I feel like TFS gave him a dumb personality rather than the "he's weak lol" jokes
@@savageraccoon163 They had him completely change personalities part way through, along with his voice. At first he was just an overconfident douche, then he switched to being a coward. But frankly I think being a coward fits Yamcha in an abridged setting, considering his involvement in the series by the time of DBZ. They ended up making a version of the character that I liked to see.
Yamcha is the best!!

It would be awesome if yamcha got a werewolf form in a new movie
Who knows he could get one by using the Dragon Balls like Piccolo did to get his new form
C'moon Yamcha is simply one of the best characters ever. Funny guy, latin lover, one of the most powerful humans of every manga...and...th roga fu-fu ken is one of the most epic fighting moves ever created
bros theme a banger for no reason
Ah, Yamcha... such a great character he could have been...
Well liked by the Japanese fanbase (coming 15 in the Top 20 poll beating Tenshihan, Bulma and even Android 17) and the one with the coolest character design before the introduction of the Super Saiyan transformation...
It's such a pity Toriyama decided to focus on superhuman-type fights rather than actual character development.
It's such bad writing at what Yamcha had become by the Android Saga and personally the thing that I find unforgivable is that he didn't end up with Bulma.
Vegeta and Bulma hooking up was just a (easy) plot device to introduce more Saiyans to the party. However, in the whole anime, we never see the 2 of them bonding (Bulma shows some attraction to Vegeta in the anime, but's that all). Heck, Vegeta and Trunks (be it Mirai Trunks or Kid Trunks) have more moments that Bulma and Vegeta.
It's really sad that in the end, not only he was relegated as one of the weakest characters but he was just simply a wasted character...
Also, let's not forget Dragon Ball was intended pretty much as a action gag manga (hence some of the very funny scenes Yamcha was shown in) before Toriyama decided to do a type of manga (a nekketsu shounen) he was not good at... -_-
I agree. But bulma and vegeta's relationship brought another great character, future trunks
Toriyama didn't give up on character development. Many people such as Krillin, Vegeta, Gohan, Master Roshi, and even the pilaf gang still get development in dragon ball super
Jantheking To have to wait for decades in the form of a very lackluster TV anime for characters to have some development... yes Toriyama did give up on character development a long time ago - a very easy example Vegeta himself: the fact that he let Cell achieve his final form just for the sake of his pride and the defeat he faced because of it - the consequence of that should have been a major development in his character to show some humility yet we leave him as a warrior who gives up on fighting at the end to his usual self at the start of Buu... Yes he changed from a ruthless murderer to a protector of the Earth at the end but while it started quite amazing as a reluctant ally to the Z Fighters, his overall change in Buu came out of nowhere since there was no built up to it - he kills a bunch of innocents at the Arena just to fight Goku then decides to protect the Earth? Even if the Dragon Balls are a deus ex machina, that shouldn’t have been an excuse.
Jantheking You mention every other character ”development” in the show except for literally the best one, Piccolo.
Vegeta’s development is honestly one of the worst character development out there in all of fiction and he really only gets a pass because dragon ball is pretty old.
Dr.TacoPHD123 Piccolo and Gohan have the best character development of the series (till the end of the Cell Saga at least... )
Recently I was watching Dragon Ball after a really long time and that opening scene of We are Angels really got me - Piccolo should have been a mentor figure (along with Vegeta to some degree) and letting Gohan be the protagonist, but it seems for Toriyama everytime he doesn’t know what to do with his characters, he turns into running gags - Piccolo, Krillin, Gohan, Goku, Vegeta...
Yamcha tapped it first

Goku tapped it first.
Yeah goku literally tapped it first when he patted her crotch and was scared she had no balls after he took off her panties

of course, he tapped first before vegeta

2: Roshi drooled over it.

4: Vegeta destroyed it.

Same here
What did i miss?
Yamcha was bad ass in dragonball, I'm still a hardcore fan!
I LOVE YOU YAMCHA!!!!
Yamcha’s always gonna be cool to me. I relate to him a lot (whether that’s good or bad is up to you), and he’s just kind of an underdog/dark horse and I tend to like those kinds of characters
i hate yamcha haters. they think they're so hip when they're just as bad as the "my favorite character is more powerful and therefor better than yours!" side of the fanbase. not only do i blame toriyama's lack of writing of these characters (yamcha, tien, piccolo, chaotzu,) but also team fourstar and its sheep of fans who love to quote and get automatic thumbs up.
PREACH
pfft, that's our opinion, we don't care what you think about Yamcha, when either you like him or not. we won't bother you only if you bring us up for no reason just because we dissed on your so called favorite character.
@@kimahribrown3843 fav?
In my oppinion yamcha is best fighter
and now yamcha is my favorite character
It's honestly quite dissapponting that they never explored his rivalry with Goku right after the first tournament arc, despite them building that up during the Pilaf arc. He was a really compelling character when he was first introduced.
Ya even tho goku would have destroyed yamcha in the 21st tournament,it would have still been interesting
The desert bandit yamcha I LOVE HIM 😍😍
Yamaha needs some more love! He was so cool! Come on, they’ve got to give him a win sometime!
Here from MasakoX, and Thanks for introducing me to this BANGER!
So why did Toriyama decide to just throw all his characters from DB in the trash bin as soon as Z came out?
I know you're just fucking with me, but the fact that you managed to include a reference to both my favorite video game and favorite anime in one post makes you awesome
Haohmaru Of Wind Yes it is
blujay1524 Honest answer: because once he introduced aliens, there was only so much you could do before a human was outclassed. In fact, that was the point, that the aliens could so easily outclass the threats that Goku had faced up until that point. Once the Super Saiyan was introduced, any hopes of the DB cast catching up were next to none. But, by that point Toriyama had brought in Vegeta, so at least Goku still had a rival.

YYH is like DBZ if DBZ was well written and had consistent characters/story lines/power levels/etc.

BAD NEWS YAMCHA NATION
yamcha stocks have PLUMMETED
Mitica canzone. Negli anni novanta comprai il CD originale giapponese della prima serie di dragon ball e c'era questa canzone
yamcha is goat
Yamcha 's making his big comeback in Super. It only felt right to listen to this.
Nope. Toriyama is still screwing him. He isn't in Universal Survival Arc team. Too sad. Once he was the real badass in Dragon Ball. Then Dragon Ball Z happened. Him and all other human fighters became worthless.
I was only referring to the baseball episode and besides he got to be a tough boss in a parallel quest in Xenoverse 2, (Time Breaker Yamcha even gets a separate character slot from normal Yamcha) and he even has his own manga now. Mix that with his major episode and I think he made quite the comeback. It is definitely odd he's not in the universe 7 team though I guess Yamcha can't be in the limelight for too long. 😕
I can see what you mean about the Earthlings, though Kuririn stayed very relevant despite his comparatively lackluster power and Tenshinhan still got cool stuff to do (including saving Dende therefore the Dragon Balls). Yajirobe was a lifesaver during the Saiyan arc and was the honorary "bean daddy" which was always a help. Mr.Satan's deception of Earth's inhabitants saved the universe and the all of the Earthlings played a significant part in the formation of Goku's Genki Dama which defeated Buu. Even our beloved Yamcha saved Goku from the heart virus.
+Ferhat Tunctan
Yamcha was never a badass. He got into a panic when he saw girls at first, then ran away like a whiny bitch when Goku punched one of his teeth out and in the tournaments he alway got screwed over. He had some good fights but only ever won one fight (not counting preliminaries) against the invisible man at Baba's palace.
He gets better treatment in the games I’ll tell you that
Greetings from MasokoX Channel!….💙💚❤️🖤😎
The Chad Yamcha Vs The Virgin Vegeta
dragon ball is the fucking coolest man holy fuck i will never fangirl this way over Z :( i've tried
@Boel B Sort of how it felt for me. The amount of effort put into Dragon Balls first 2 arcs compared to Z baffles me. The Saiyan Saga is still good even if it isn't perfect, but the rest of Z is honestly really weak and filled with problems.
I like Yamcha as a character! People shit on him a lot. His song is awesome. I feel he’s not given a fair chance a lot. He tends to have quite a bit of misfortunes. ❤️
Growing up, I always wanted to be like Vegeta. Now that I'm an adult, I realise that I'm actually just Yamcha.
People probably like you better for it
I suppose that's a fair point of view. What works in the Dragon Ball universe wouldn't necessarily fly in real Life.
Yamcha is one of the most relatable and human characters in the series
Genesis Malakh So you are a millioner baseball player who can beat 100% of people in unarmed combat?
Yamcha appeared on like the 5th or 6th episode of Dragon Ball, but instantly I was able to relate to him on a personal level. I have yet to have encountered another DB/DBZ character that I felt a similar connection to
Damn, It makes me sad that he couldn't have a bad ass fight in Resurrection F :(
some Wolf Fang Fist and Sokidan action would have been hype.... I loudly booed in a packed theater when Tien Shinhan said "I though it would be too much for Yamcha and Chiaotzu" the hell AT when did Tien become Yamcha's keeper? I'll write it off they just wanted to show off and establish Jaco to DBZ masses
lenmutt I don't like Jaco not compared to Yamcha anyways.
ALL RISE FOR THE ANTHEM OF THE GREAT DESERT BANDIT, BASEBALL PLAYER, MASTER OF THE ROGA FUFUKEN, YAMUCHA

Kimi no subete ga sukidakara......(i love everything about you.) feels hard.
Bro was so badass that he got his own his song sung by his voice actor.
Imagine this:
The ToP saga is on screen. Goku vs Kefla and Vegeta vs Toppo. Yamcha is fighting alone against 5 oponents. He is quite damaged from previous attacks of other opponents. He fells to the ground knowing that he will lose. Sudenly Vegeta shouts: "This piece of trash can't even fight anymore, someone just end him." Everything turns silent as a beam of holy light emites from the ground. Everyone stands from their seats, even Zeno and Grand Priest. It is Yamcha, standing menacingly with a death stare at Vegeta. *Wolf fang hurricane starts playing* Sudently Yamcha disepears, reapearing behind Toppo landing a Godly Wolf fang fist. Toppo gets blown out of the ring. Then Yamcha turns on the prince of all Sayians himself and says in a cold way: "Looks like your opponent is gone, after this tournament, Vegeta, you will learn your place, dont worry, I will settle the matter with you." Vegeta, annoyed but at the same time scared as hell thinks: "How did he achieve this form sooner than me, with no skill at all." He turns back on Jiren, as he is paralyzed by enourmous fear. The last thing Jiren saw was a glimpse of light and he was knocked out by one single Sokidan.
Yamcha will appear in Dragon Ball FighterZ !
Let's all celebrate!
RIP GOAT😭😭😭
one of the most badass characters in db

Don't remember Yamcha being this cool lmao.
Aguante yamcha
I think the humans were better characters than the Saiyans in terms of personality, but DBZ fans only rate characters based on how badass they are, it seems. Definitely would've loved to see them do more with them. I mean, if nothing else, they coulda given them Super Human forms. DB/Z was already the king of ass-pulls, so you can't tell me it wouldn't make sense, lol.
They had a ton of golden opportunities to let them shine, too. I get that it was basically the rule that Goku had to defeat the arc villain, but all the secondary villains could've easily gone to the humans rather than just letting the Saiyans do literally everything. It isn't like they didn't train, either. Let the guys show their work for fuck's sake.
Also Gohan, Piccolo, choazu, Tien, Trunks, Gotenk, Etc etc.
Don’t get it twisted just because Yamaha isn’t my favorite character doesn’t mean that I only base my favorites based off of badassery
my favourite dragon ball song and Yamcha is my favourite character
Only reason YamCha died in the Saiyan saga was because he let his guard down. I would be willing to bet that he could fight Nappa at a near even level. And the only reason he was left behind was because he's not a Saiyan.
That would certainly coincide with what is known as the "Worf Effect". Basically, take the strongest guy in the group and have them lose against the new enemy to validate the threat that said enemy poses to the heroes.
The only reason why it wasn't Piccolo was because he had a character arc with Gohan that had to play out to the end.
@@JanetStarChild Yamcha was the third weakest person there (Beating Gohan and Chaozu), so he certainly wasn't the strongest guy in the group, and Nappa would've surely beaten the hell out of him, that being said, he was barely stronger than the Saibamen, yet was able to take it out, easily, in 40 seconds, so he probably would've at least put up a good fight.
@@diddlypoop
The problem here is you're going by scribbled power levels ...and numbers ultimately mean nothing...
I go by what I see; performance; the visual evidence.
Fact of the matter is that we see plenty of evidence that Yamcha was one of the top fighters there, virtually equal with Tien.
Those two did the best in their training at Kami's lookout. Krillin, Chaozu and Yajerobi were the stragglers.
