Just because he's annoying. His strength is on a joke level.
Not in the anime its not. Not on grand kai's planet.

When Super Buu arrived at Kami's Lookout to face off Gotenks, Krillin couldn't stand the pressure and attacked Super Buu even if he was dimensions and dimensions above him to protect his family and others. Yamcha ran away along with the others even if he was one of the acknowledged Z-fighters.

And not to forget the part where he almost wished to Shenron that the Z-fighters would be rich.

I like Yamcha, I just hated that he wasn't as focused on training as I thought he should've been. He could have been epic!

I'd rather have lazy Yamcha than the foolish Yamcha they had in Dragonball Evolution!

I don't hate him or know anyone who hates him, but after a while he kind of got left behind in terms of power level and Bulma, so he became irrelevant. Dragon Ball was his time to shine not DBZ.

It's because he's a fine example of Toriyama-sensei not utilizing most of his characters too well. He's supposed to be strong yet loses almost all the major battles he's in, and often ends up looking stupid in the process (I.E. his fight against the Saibamen). At least with Chaozu, everyone knew he was weak seeing as they keep him on the sidelines during major battles.

Not to mention all the dub discrepancies which made him look like a dudebro, surfer douchebag when he was actually the most kind-hearted of the Z-Senshi aside from Goku, and Gohan. FUNimation changes Yamcha's dialogue more than most characters in the series, like how they twisted the story on how he and Bulma broke up so they can appeal to the North American audience:

In the Japanese version, Bulma was mad because Yamcha simply stood her up (he felt he was too "bum" for her) but in the English version, they changed it to where she was mad because he went on a date with "Becky Hafford" instead.

All that aside, I do like Yamcha as a character even though he was pretty unused.

Kuririn > Yamucha.

I'll be honest, I'm not a Yamcha hater. But c'mon, you don't compare Yamcha to Krillin.

You can't dislike this. :p :lol: :rofl: :lolz: :innocent: :whistle:

I don't hate Yamcha, but he almost never did anything outside of very early Dragonball. His best moment in the series is the cool battle he had with Tenshinhan, although Ten was obviously suppressed for the beginning of it. He never made it past the first round in any Tenkaichi Budokai, and got smashed by both Jackie Chun and Shen. He had a draw with a Saibiman which led to his death, and he never did anything of worth after that. Him and Chaozu did nothing.

Tenshinhan and Krillen, on the other hand, were somewhat useful, and did stuff. Ten won the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai, was competitive vs Goku in the 23rd, beat a Saibaiman, hold off 2nd form Cell, who was stronger than the SSJs pre ROSAT, The Androids, and Piccolo. He also deflected a blast from Buu. Krillen also did well in the Tenkaichi Budokais, and was useful in the battles vs the Sayians, and on Namek.

That said, Yamcha still wound up amazingly strong, even though he was always lagging behind the stronger guys. He wound up with a PL in the millions, which is way stronger than the average Sayian or Namek, who were probably around 1000-3000.

Yamucha has been useless from day one. Kurirn has ALWAYS been a beast, why is that even in question?

Lol at being the desert bandit who is scared of Attractive girls. Kuririn came to roshi from a shaolin temple.

He taught himself how to utilize ki and fly. He taught himself the kame blast. Tien VS kuiririn have always been in question, when tien destroyed yamucha. It took a monster to kill kuririn. Who was always noted of being just a step behind goku.

Only yajirobe was introduced as being more beastly.

I think Tenshinhan is stronger than Krillen, but the gap between Krillen and Yamcha is wider than the gap between Ten and Krillen.

Yamcha taught himself the wolf fang fist. He came from nothing, trained as a bandit without help.

He was never useless. He saved Bulma. Yamcha is the underdog.

I feel like his character really changed quite a lot as the series progressed. He went from being a serious martial artist who dedicated most of his time to training and was willing to put his life on the line for honour to being more of an every guy who got lazy and actually feared death like any sane person would. Still he doesn't deserve to be mocked all the time. After all he ends up being more useful than chiaotzu.

Yajirobe is another good example of wasted potential. They turned him into the joke character who saves the day and later gave that role to Mr Satan.

Thats true, my one gripe about yajirobe, he was already as strong as goku, and goku said so. He was a beast. Was only defeated in the budokai by kami himself.
