[up][up] Or he'll cross a small mammal and get murdered.

[up] I'm saying he's a cheater because he cheated. I don't hate him, merely stating a fact.

But it's a completely irrelevant fact. Cheating boyfriends get new girlfriends all the time.

Yamcha cheating is one of the least morally reprehensible things done by the good guys and most of them got hitched.

Plus there's no proof he ever did it again.

[up][up] Wasn't that just one interpretation of what happened? Like with the thing about Pokeballs, you seem to be choosing the darkest possible way to interpret stuff...

Saiga has had this argument and brought up cheating Yamcha severa, several times on both here and Kazenshuu. It's why I asked him if he hated Yamcha.

Apparently there is a quote by Toriyama himself that said Yamcha cheated... At least I think so.

[up][up] No, it's outright stated he cheated, then Toriyama calls him a cheater in an interview. It's the only possible interpretation to anyone who isn't White Knighting him.

[up][up][up] Dragon Ball is more idealistic than our world where cheaters can get new victims all the time.

You're right. Unrepentant mass murderers can go on to have loving families and not even go to Hell after living a long, selfish and brutal life.

So...yeah, I'm gonna be idealistic an say Yamcha didn't cheat anymore and he becomes a better and more faithful boyfriend or husband.

[up] If you're talking about Vegeta, his general evilness was severely cranked up in the anime, IIRC. Not that I really blame them, since they had no way of knowing he'd turn Face at that point.

[up][up] Vegeta was always faithful tho

But once a cheater, always a cheater

You have very odd moral standards is all I can say.

It's not like Bulma was the most devoted girlfriend. Maybe Yamcha was just reacting to the fact his beloved girlfriend went gaga over any piece of meat that came along.

[up][up] Didn't Vegeta blow up all those innocent people at the Tournament in the manga as well?

Really?

Well, I, uh...

Hey look! Awesome Dragon Ball music!!

I don't much care for the Japanese DBZ score but DB's music is fantastic.

Also I mentioned pages ago that I haven't seen most of the DBZ movies.

Well I feel like correcting that.

I've seen Movies 5, 8 and 10 as well as parts of 12 and and 6.

-I liked 8 and watched it a lot.

-I hated 10.

-I was meh about 5 so i forgot most of it.

-I stopped watching 6 and 12 because I lost interest.

So I'm going to watch all the movies I haven't seen while also finishing Movies 6 and 12.

Any opinions on which movies are the best or worst?

Yamcha just fails at life.

First he's a bandit... in the middel of a fucking desert.

Then he tries to be a martial artist... he becomes a punching bag.

He gets a hot, rich girlfriend... cheats on her.

Yamcha sucks.

Have you never heard of Tusken Raiders? I'm pretty sure being a bandit in the desert is quite common. There were desert bandits in Xenogears and if it's in Xenogears it's okay in my book.

And at least he has a pretty awesome song.

He cared so much he cheated on her?

Give it a rest he was a scum.

Also being bandit in the desert is stupid because... well its a fucking desert.

Um, you do realize there are multitudes of reasons why people cheat on each other, right? It isn't just because you can't keep your dick in your pants. How about alienation of affection?

And what does "cheat" even mean? Did he fuck a ton of women? Did he go on a date with another woman? There are several ways to cheat as well and not all of them are equally terrible.

Really, this is a load of sexism right here. It's always the evil man's fault, in spite of the fact Bulma, being a main cahracter, flaunted her sluttiness and bitchiness for everyone to see for all of Dragon Ball.

My position is that both Yamcha and Bulma were too young, immature and stupid to be in a real relationship.

Oh wow, just wow. The amount of White Knighting is over nine thousand.

I mean seriously, what kind of blame shiffting is that? Allienation of affection? It wasnt Bulma who left for years at a time to hamg out with an old pervert and nosless midget.

Oh so he might have cheated with only ome wam huh? In that case I dont see a problem. What was Bulma getting so mad about? Women, who'll understands them?

And its both sad and hillarious that you rant about sexism only to go and call Bulma a slutty bitch. I mean seriously...

So the cheating king was canon huh?

I was hoping that was just a joke by Toriyama because Bulma needed to be with Vegeta to have Trunks, and he didn't know how to break up her and Yamacha.

Or is this still all just because people like mocking Yamacha at all times?

Whatever the case, if he did cheat, Bulma never seemed to hold it against him too much, being as they were still friends later.

"I mean seriously, what kind of blame shiffting is that? Allienation of affection? It wasnt Bulma who left for years at a time to hamg out with an old pervert and nosless midget."

That ws in Dragon Ball. Whatever supposed cheating incident happened was years and years later. Yamcha didn't go off by himself or with anyone else at that time.

Well except to train with kami to try and save the Earth.

":Oh so he might have cheated with only ome wam huh?"

Deliberately missing the point.

"And its both sad and hillarious that you rant about sexism only to go and call Bulma a slutty bitch. I mean seriously..."

...Bulma is a hilariously offensive female stereotype. To get her way she will gladly let otehr men touch her or flash her body parts at them. She was gaga over Zarbon after seeing him for all of five seconds just because he's pretty.

So, yeah, blame Toriyama for creating a slutty bitch of a character. I don't know anyone who would deny this.

I don't like Yamcha, but he is a saint in loyalty department compared to Bulma. Almost everybody is.
