He's just comic relief. Look at all those classic DB characters that become useless in DBZ. What role do they play? They're the humour in the series. Apart from Goku's stupidity, and Vegeta's awesomeness.
Tien's fairly useful in Cell Saga, but other than that you have a point.

I think Yamcha is the normalest (i know thats not a word) one there, his reactions and strength are just typical for a normal human, that doesn't include Krillin as he doesn't have a nose....(Just Joking)

I wouldn't say he was "useless". In a way he saved Goku's life when Goku was having that heart attack when fighting Android 19. If Yamcha hadn't got him back in time Goku would have died.

Now Chiaotzu. There's a pointless character for you.
I totally agree >=]

>A lot of DBZ fans tend to think something along the lines of "He can't go SSJ, therefore he shouldn't be included".
with gt its "he can go ssj, but he still shouldnt be included cos hes not super strong like goku"

Awww don't say that Yamcha's not useless he still plays a part just from being on the team. The only time he's really useless is during the Buu saga because he doesn't fight anymore.

He's still there putting his life on the line and he's still there to support the main players whenever they need him so he does his job.

I've adapted the DBZ anime by editing the anime seasons down into feature films.

no that would be roshi
list of canon sources:

the DB manga, and the Dr. Slump manga as it applies to the crossover during the rra saga.

list of non canon sources:

everything else, regardless of origin, format, or quality.

for those that blindly follow word of god

Yamcha isn´t useless, Yamcha just sucks.
Once upon a time, there used to be a signature. Then it got lame, and now I'm out of options for a new one.

Your meaning the Olibu fight. That still doesn't make him SPC strength. Maybe Semi Cell strength at best.

I think his role in the story is to bring to help the audience realise the true power of the Saiyans. They show him being super strong yet not being able to hold a candle to a Saiyan, super or otherwise. He's like a bridge between humans and Saiyans to help understand their great power. There's a name for a character whose role it is to make the main character look better, but I forgot what it's called. I was actually wondering about Krillin. I noticed that in every fight he's in, he's pretty much down after a single blow, always saying something like,"I can't go on anymore. I think he broke every bone in my body." It seems like he's just a coward that likes to play dead so he doesn't get hit anymore but does so so that he'll be recognized for have played a part in the battle. Even so, I do like his character. I just wish he was more durable.

Wel, I am getting sick of the rumor that Yamcha is obssessed with women. Why do people say that:
1) Bad dub lines and filler at the start of z and pre android saga.
2) After Cell's defeat, Yamcha jokes about wishing for a necklace for his partner. Seriously? Its fine for Bulma to go and sleep with Vegeta when Yamcha was dead, and when Yamcha goes and finds himself a girlfriend long after hes broken up with Bulma, hes obssessed with women?
3) Future Trunks: Yamcha... was... umm... a bit of a playboy.
Its clear Trunks got that from his mother, the only source in his timeline. And you know Bulma...
Immediately afterwards in his conversation with Goku, Yamcha expresses a strong desire to marry. Why'd Toriyama put that scene? The whole thing screamed Trunks was wrong.

When Yamcha's wins against Olibu and Recoome are mentioned people wave it off as filler, and then the same people use filler as the source to say hes obssessed with women! What irony!

All things considering why dont people go and call Krillin obssessed with women or Bulma obssessed with men?
