"Shortly after Yamcha left the capsule pod, it was revealed that the gravity machine was actually "out of service" that day."

Awesome. As was the password one.

Those are brilliant.

What's funnier is that the person who uploaded that video... is Krillin.

At least, the old one, which now encounters an error when it tries to play. Even Youtube hates Yamcha.

Youtube comments can still be quite clever sometimes. Or at least amusing in a non-ironic way.

Talk about how Yamcha always makes you laugh about how pathetic he is even when he's not being so, or how he was never of any help at all during any time and the one time he did help it was only because he was losing in the fastest time possible.

[up][up] I've already made my final comment on the matter. So DON'T bring back up the subject. We can agree to disagree. Oh and for the record, this was what I said:

'Goku as a father...is what you would expect. For a person that suffered brain damage when his was a BABY, lived in solitude for the first fourteen years of his life and comes from a race of bloodthirsty, battle-lusting space pirates, it's a miracle he even knows how to have sex. His upbringing did nothing to help him understand how society works and what it expects from you as a friend, husband or father. He lived and breathed martial arts and fighting from day one. That was what he was taught to do and that was pretty much all he could really do. Being a pure blooded Saiyan his love for fighting is pretty much his inherit nature and practically in his DNA. He's a manchild. Carefree, pure in heart, unwittingly insensitive, socially inept but at the end of the day if the world is in danger you can count on Goku to save the day or if his friends or family are being harmed, he's quick to act and if does do something that seems reprehensible or lacking in logic you realize... oh yeah it's Goku. To be honest I wouldn't mind having him as a friend or even a relative. I guess it's mainly due to wacky adventures that Goku always seems to get involved in, that, secretly ever since I was a kid, I've always wanted to be a part of. Consider me a thrill seekercool... or a death seeker... which ever way you want to look at it.smile'

No.

I'm hardly shocked at you guys just randomly mouthing off Yamcha anymore.

I'm just kinda like meh fuck it. They won't stop, and I can't fight the entire Dragon Ball fandom.

All I can do is lament that Toriyama himself created this situation.

[up][up]The Yamcha bashing supports my claim that even the Family Guy writers treat their characters better. Even Meg Griffin wasn't treated as bad, but meh, they're only cartoons, why should I care??

Yamcha's fun to bash due to his hilarious incompetence. He's kind of the Joke Character.

Krillin is Overshadowed by Awesome. He's clever, incredibly strong and skilled, invented a technique powerful enough to slice through enemies MUCH stronger than him, killed several Saibamen simultaneously, etc. etc. Krillin, while still being remarkably weak by series standards, has enough accomplishments under his belt to say that he's an amazingly powerful human, just not powerful enough to keep up with Goku.

Yamcha doesn't have that. All he ever does is lose. Sometimes he boasts before he loses, but mostly, he just loses. He's a pretty face with too much faith in his completely unremarkable skills. He has style, personality, and can be fun to watch, but he still loses every fight he ever engages in, and very rarely contributes anything to the story.

Krillin and Yamcha are on two separate tiers of make-fun-of-ness.

[up][up] You forget the greatest of Krillin's accomplishments... he married and had a daughter with the sexiest, coolest and strongest women in the history of Dragon Ball, Android 18. I officially stopped making fun of Krillin after I found out about that.

[up] The 'tier of make-fun-of-ness' that Krillin is on is 'Krillin gets owned a lot but we respect to a degree because he's brave enough to constantly take on powerful enemies...even though that's the reason he gets owned so much.' The 'tier of make-fun-of-ness' that Yamcha is on is 'He's just of failure at everything and a waste of space.'

Yeah... Krillin managed to convince 18 to marry him, and Yamcha meanwhile died alone because his girlfriend ditched him for the guy who killed all their friends and tried to blow up the earth. I don't even think Yamcha got a little cameo in GT or anything. That's right, even GT doesn't want anything to do with Yamcha.

He did actually get a cameo in GT, once during the Baby saga and once at the end.

For what it's worth, he at least gets to look like he's in his mid-30's when he's actually 57.

Maybe it's because he spent half his life dead and didn't age. tongue

Whats said above sums it up. Krillin it's not the best Warriors of Earth (althought he is one of the two best humans), but hey, he married the coolest girl in the series, raised a daughter, was the first man in Namek, is the best friend of Goku... His personal life is awesome, he just not good at defeating alien-super-villains-who-can-blow-the-earth.

Yamcha by the other hand only started his journey because he wanted to get married, and never did. But still lives in the house of his ex, with the guy responsible for his death, because he got nowhere else to go. He failed as a warrior, and in his personal life, and now he ends DBZ in his 50s without getting his life together.

And it's not about being weak, Yajirobe is weak, but he was usefull against Vegeta, and he know he is weak so he stays out of fights so he won't die. Yamcha hangs on the fight untill the Cell Games? What he was doing on the Cell Games? Yamcha being there with a serious face in his orange uniform was just as lame as Mr. Satan actually trying to fight Cell. Dr. Gero almost kill him not much time before. And he was the second weakest android.

Why he still go in this fights? To die? Yamcha, go to Capsule Corp, find a home, create an independent life not living at expenses of your filthy-rich-ex-girlfriend, and go find yourself a wife! Isn't that what you want? If not, if you want to be a Z-Fighter for life, then do like Tenshinhan and do nothing but train until you get strong, Capsule Corp is full of training machines. You don't need to get strong enough to defeat Cell, but enough to defeat a Saibaman would help. You shame the human race!

Your speech telling Yamcha to go find a wife and get his life together has a fatal flaw.

Why would anyone WANT to marry Yamcha?

Oh, and last time he tried to train, gravity owned him.

Gravity owned him because he bit off more than he could chew. That's Yamcha's problem. He overestimates himself. "Fighting the most proficient Crane Student? Please, I can take that wimp. Saibamen? Tien did it, I can totally sweep the floor with them. Androids? They're going to be begging for mercy when I'm done with them. 300x Gravity? Piece of cake!"

The only person who doesn't realize how much of a joke Yamcha is, is Yamcha. Krillin frequently survives because he knows when to cut and run. Yamcha typically convinces himself that he can punch out Frieza in one shot, and gets hilariously roflstomped for his trouble.

Well, the other reason I gave up defending him was that nothing anyone said about him was untrue.

Which makes the extra stuff harder to fight against.

Since Yamcha really is a loser, it's damned hard to say anything in his favor.

It's especially hilarious when you remember that he genuinely got stronger ever time.

...He went from being able to die in one minute to being able to die in one minute and 10 secs.

He stayed alive for a whole extra ten seconds. That's a huge accomplishment.tongue
