I wonder who's idea that was?

Toriyama, or Toei?

Probably both.

It's unlikely that Toriyama even wrote this one. He seems to do the arcs, based on everything we've been told about his involvement.

Yeah.

I don't think he cares about Yamcha to mock him the way the rest of the fandom does.

So this is likely just Toei filler to shore up things until the next big arc.

Well, that happened.

I can't decide if the next episode looks like filler or the start of the next arc.

I think it's a Toei arc. IIRC, the next Toriyama arc will be announced next week.

The Hit arc is likely going to be like the Potaufeu arc: Filler arc before the next main arc.

Yup. She said it.

Mean spirited, but not untrue.

I love that Yamcha quote Tien / Tenshihan's line from Battle Of Gods.

And of course, the Memetic Death Pose returns, with the only guys who saw it (that are in the episode) commenting.

He took a beating, but this really was Yamcha's ep. He earned that victory.

Plus, it's not often he walked away from his beatings so....evil grin

Next time, Goku gets Hit! Or maybe, Hit gets Goku!

I was laughing pretty hard since I knew it was going to be over the top and the fact they made a joke about the death pose had me rolling.

The Hit arc is the one Toriyama is working on.

The "Filler" where these light hearted episodes.

Wasn't it mentioned that the next major arc would be announced at Jump Festa 2016.

Bulma's wrong though.

Because Yamcha?

I'm betting that he can blow up planets.

Yamcha could set out and, quite likely, conquer most of the galaxy while facing barely any worthwhile opposition.

Well that's because most of it has died. Either killed by Buu, or killed by Frieza....who were both in turn killed by Goku.

Yamcha might be stronger than most of the Ginyu force by now tho.

Toei Yamcha is stronger than Perfect Cell.

I don't see any evidence of that. Since the filler where he, Chiaotzu (I really gotta learn how to spell his name) and Tien fight them is disregarded by many, we'll only know if he fights and beats them.

And considering Toriyama thinks he's not good enough for a fight with Frieza looks (who I'd expect him to be stronger then) but Roshi is ok, I'm guessing we have our answer.

I mean, no one would be with Roshi to really stop him from going, even though I think Krillin was the one who brought him there with him.

Yamcha won by being an Iron Butt-Monkey. My god I love this episode.

Also: Kyabbe and Vegeta = MY HEART!

To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.

That's why I said might and didn't give an outright statement, Rob.

Regardless, even if Yamcha were strong enough to fight the entire Ginyu force handcuffed and win, he would still be nothing against first form Freeza back at Namek.

Unless Yamcha's clocked in some time in the HTC that we don't know about, Yamcha can't kill shit for dick.

Masako X made a video about the timeline antics involving the end of Z and Super. I felt it was kind of interesting.

Oh he can.

Then again, right now Pan could do the same.

On a more positive note, the combination of the Sokidan and the Wolf Fang Fist for his pitch was the epitome of Mundane Utility. It's not just his strength and speed that made him a big time baseball star it seems.

I'm guessing that one was a trademarked maneuver during his career.

It really makes you think that instead of getting some part time job, Goku could've just found whatever is the most popular sport in the world and use his speed, strength and reflexes to be the greatest ever at whatever that sport is, make millions off of that with minimal effort, and still train like a madman since he'd only need to show up for games.
