Can you tell how happy I am that Yamcha's getting some focus whatsoever?

If Yamcha is getting focused on, it's so they can heap abuse on him more precisely. tongue

I'm happy if he just gets screentime and dialogue at all.

Expect your joy to turn to tears very soon.

And even if he's not played as a joke, the fandom will redo the episode to make him look as pathetic as possible.

You can't win.

No, see: I'm happy if he gets screentime and dialogue AT ALL. Even if the entirety of that screentime and dialogue is spent mocking him relentlessly.

Again, except for a few moments here and there I've never gotten the impression that Toei was interested in that.

Fans are the ones consumed with not letting that die. Although, at least here it seems to have died down besides people complaining about him always being mocked.

Why do I feel like [up] is a response to that.

Though you are right that people complaining about the mocking is happening more then the mocking.....

So I guess this is my fault then?sad

[up]Pretty much; it's mostly been you being overly pessimistic about the frequency this thread makes fun of Yamcha.

Most of complaining about stuff people were never doing or stopped doing long ago comes from Rob. It's his thing.

Yamcha pitches, but the other team has a Saibaman who hits a sacrifice bunt off of him.

I unlocked Cital as a playable character. He has a gun and everything!

He also knows the Neo Wolf Fang Fist apparently.

Does anyone think Dabura would've worked better as a main villain than Majin Buu? Hell, (no pun intended) there could've been a Dabura Saga instead.

Eh, that depends. Dabura as a minion of Babadi, not really. The idea that he's the lord of a Demon Dimension, sure, but for him to work effectively as an antagonist you'd basically have to start from scratch. Also the fact that even at his peak power in the realm where he is ruler and in control, Gohan could have killed him at age nine, is disheartening.

We could swap the roles. Dabura is the Big Bad instead of Babidi while Babidi is Demoted to Dragon.

[up]That doesn't alleviate most of the problems mentioned there. And if you do that what's even the point of Babidi?

And if you have to change a fairly substantial bit about the character for them to work as a "better villain" then there really is no point.

Actually, not even that. Babibi's magic makes people stronger, so Dabura without Babidi would've been even weaker than when we met him.
