This might have gone too far...

Welp. There goes any of Yamcha's remaining dignity. Maybe he will just cry on screen when Frieza returns in RoF and piss himself, then offer to pleasure him in exchange for his own life.

This isn't new. Yamcha's death pose is apparently extremely famous in Japan, to the point where every video game that has Yamcha and Saibamen WILL have this pose. Can confirm, I've played Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Raging Blast 2, and Ultimate Tenkaichi. Maybe Battle of Z, dunno.

They don't make dead Vegeta or dead Piccolo. They're always picking on Yamcha. If I hit the lottery I'm spending every penny bringing Yamcha justice.

DBZ is basically jobber central. Even the villains start jobbing.

YAMCHA WAS ABLE TO SURVIVE 100X GRAVITY HE'S ACTUALLY NOT THAT WEAK

GODDAMN

^ Excellent point, but it was 300x.

#13

also didn't cop out at the end of the Cell Saga like Chiaotzu, he actually stuck by with Tien and Piccolo

SUCH BRAVERY

Loot, I love you. You know that, don't you?

Not to mention he can blow up the friggin' moon with a flick of his wrist. Weak in DBZ tops strong in most fiction. It took until the end of Naruto and Trigun just to blow up moons.

Practically anyone in the Dragon Ball universe can blow up the moon, though. That's nothing to be proud of.

Well, not Yajirobe...

#17

Hercule can't but he's technically stronger than Goku from original Dragon Ball

Hercule was also awesome enough to be spared during the Earth Genocide move Buu did. Hercule4lyfe

Roshi blew up the moon at the beginning of Dragon Ball. At the beginning of Z, Yajirobe is over five times as strong as he is. He could blow up the moon if he wanted to.

Geez, talk about power creep.

He actually couldn't. This is why Power Levels are deemed "useless." They don't tell the whole picture, they're just raw data. So while Yajirobe is actually pretty strong, even enduring a beating by Vegeta, he has little ki mastery, even Videl has a greater mastery. Power Level isn't all which determines this.[DOUBLEPOST=1427617534,1427617096][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, on Yamcha, if we look at characters from Dragon Ball, moon busting was actually quite a feat, up until Z, when Vegeta set planet busting as the standard at 18,000.

Speaking of planet busting, it's speculated that Yamcha could probably destroy one himself. Here's why:

King Kai tells Goku that Yamcha had crossed Snake Way in a far shorter time than he did, and that he also requested for tougher training than what Goku had received, so he was at least as strong as Goku was at that point, 8,000.

Later, he survives an attack from Dr. Gero, whereas people who are far weaker than their opponents are killed in a single shot (like Gohan VS Cell Junior). This shows he wasn't too far off from his level.

Plus, during the latter half of Dragon Ball Z, he retires from fighting, but continues training and goes off on his own!

The kicker, if it's considered canon, is that Yamcha offered to fight both Abo & Kado when hearing they're "only" as strong as Frieza was back in his day.

Either way, it's hard to imagine him lower than 18,000 by the end of Dragon Ball GT with all of his training.
