Hey Yamacha can still pull of decently awesome stuff.

I mean he had a pretty good showing during the baseball episode despite the merciless beatdown he received from God-like figures.

I will say that I'm looking forward to seeing how Super handles Yamcha getting left out of the tournament in favor of Roshi (if it handles it at all). There's some comedy potential there.

Even in one episode long Throw the Dog a Bone moment, Yamcha still gets his ass whooped. XD

Poor Yamcha. He gets a bad rap. I mean, he's still probably strong enough to whoop the asses of the casts of some pretty popular anime.

I don't think Yamcha really has a problem with that; he's not like Tien who sulks over not being relevant and had delusions of surpassing Goku well past the point where that was ever possible for him.

It's not a spoiler, it's not even true. Certainly not true enough to deserve a heart-attacky all caps typing.

I do recall that when I went to the theater to watch Resurrection F, when Tien showed up and mentioned he left behind both Chiatozu & YAMCHA for concern of their safety the entire theater erupted into uproarious laughter.

At the same time when Roshi showed up & immediately entered his super mode to join the battle everyone entered into uproarious cheering, clapping & whistling. It was really awesome.

[up][up] Ok that's BS Tien & Yamcha are the same. tongue

That line was just weird; since when does Yamcha live/travel with Tien and Chiaotzu?

Maybe, no one actually wants to see Yamucha fight anymore...

Pretty great time I had. Its nice when eveyone's a fan.

Probably they realize Toriyama would just have him be beaten first.

3 tournaments, one alien invasion, and one Cyborg attack, and it's pretty clear where he stands.

I mean, the more he's mocked, the more I actually like him, but at this point, even he accepts his not ever gonna be a relevant warrior.

And yet Roshi still thinks he's relevant in a fight, even though Yamcha surpassed him decades ago.

Toriyama does, and he decides who's relevant.

Roshi is there because he wants him there, and he'll find a way to justify it.

Hell, I suppose if the old man churns out some good moves, I can deal with it. At least they're remembering he's more than a dirty pervert.

He can only fight mooks though...

Yamucha probably can too, but just doesn't care enough.

Yamcha can't put people into rice cookers. As far as I'm aware.

Hopefully Roshi does something cool. I mean the dude was/is a martial arts master after all. That scene in the OP where he takes off his glasses was hella cool.

I find myself appreciating Yamcha more as I got older and realized how sad the man is. Like which is worse, the constant physical humiliations or the fact his girlfriend ends up marrying the man indirectly responsible for his death in the first place?

@Udthelmp

Actually, the scene with the villains spectating was anime filler only. The Manga never had anything with the villains in the after life.

Yamcha always loses in the quarter finals though. They can't afford that here.

Pretty much.

He'd end up fighting exactly the wrong opponent like he always does. Everything would work against him and he'd lose.

Its sad Future Trunks can't join in on the fun.

He should have done what Rachel Summers did & make a new life in the present.
