That first one, wow, I didn't think they'd find a way to make the Yamcha hangs himself joke any darker. And yet, I stand corrected.

I should of not laugh at the first one, but I couldn't help it. ;___;

But but poor Yamcha. Goku was his friend. ;__;

Makes a bit more sense than him having Puar around when he did it, or convincing them both to.

Oolang's also a shapeshifter. For some reason, it, like, never comes up in Z.

Because he sucked at it. He dropped out of shapeshifter school and could only keep a form for like five minutes or something.

Shapeshifting as a whole, I mean. I can't recall Pu'ar using it in Z either.

Why not just have Puar shapeshift into a gun, or something? Wouldn't that be faster than hanging himself?

Also, there's a glaring mistake in the latest actual episode that's been bugging me. Android 19 detects Yamcha as having a higher-than-average power level. tongue

It's being it was pretty damn useless even without drawbacks.

...Come to think of it, Goku and Vegeta would raise the "average" power level on Earth by a fair bit.

And even counting only pure humans, we still have Krillin and Tien skewing the distribution.

They're outliers. You don't include outliers in an average.

Maybe 19's power scanner uses only unsigned digits, and Yamcha's power level went below zero and thus rolled back to 255 or 65535 or something?

Yamcha is a very above-average human.

Goku ain't a human, so can't be measured among average human power levels.

Why not just have Puar shapeshift into a gun, or something? Wouldn't that be faster than hanging himself?

Unless he intended to pistol-whip himself to death, then no. She can turn into a gun, but not bullets. Unless maybe that was only a limitation of Oolong's. He could turn into a boat, but not a motorboat, because it is either impossible or very harmful for him to turn into something that he then uses up, like the gasoline in the motor.

[up] I don't know whether 19 was measuring normal "human" power levels or just normal "earthling" power levels though. I mean, said above-average power level was supposed to be evidence that Yamcha was Goku, and I'm not sure Gero knows Goku's an alien.

I don't know that that matters, in this context. Yamcha is above-average by both standards.

Jeez, I'm just making fun of Yamcha, is all.

I know he's technically above-average for a human, could probably blow up the earth assuming he exceeded Saiyan-saga Vegeta's 18,000, but it's far more fun to imagine he has a negative power level. His contribution to the Super Spirit Bomb actually weakened it.

Yamcha was living a significantly better life back when he was a gynophobic bandit who had never heard of a "dragon ball"

So basically, Bulma screwed him in ways he couldn't even imagine.

I miss the days when Yamcha was relevant. sad I was angry at the mere existence of Dragonball Z for a long time.

I too miss seeing Yamcha repeatedly being shit on and abused by Toriyama to the point of it being creepy. Ah, those days of pre-Z.

Yamcha only won one fight in the entire series, and it was only because of Krillin, Bulma, and Roshi.
