Dragon Ball GT
WhileYamchahas long - been considered to be the most pathetically disappointing character not just inDragon Ballcanon , but in the entirety of the anime literary genre itself , it seems as though fans have treated him a turn too harshly over the years asDragon Ball GTreveals that he ’s not as pathetic as everyone guess .
Despite his reputation , Yamcha actually started out as a really coolheaded and badass case during the days of classicDragon Ball . Yamcha was a desert brigand concluded with a knotty sword and crazy soldierly arts skills – including one move called the Wolf Fang Fist that was visually arresting and fantastically useful in battle . But , all that changed whenYamcha was vote out by a Saibaman , only for Krillin ( someone Yamcha should have at least been equal to in forcefulness ) to turn around and kill every stay Saibaman with a single blast a few moment afterwards . The sight of Yamcha ’s exanimate corpse pathetically curled up in a crater of his own mediocrity is still something that is mocked to this very daytime ( seeDragon Ball Super ’s baseball game episode ) . However , while that dying seemed pretty weak based on its immediate aftermath , Dragon Ball GTproves that Saibamen are really a lot tougher than they first appear .

Dragon Ball GT Proves Saibamen are Terrifying, Making Yamcha’s Death Less Pathetic
InDragon Ball GTepisode 43 ( compose by Atsushi Maekawa , directed by Osamu Kasai , acquire by Toei Animation ) , the Z - Fighters are defend for their lives after a portal to hell opened up in the sky , through which a telephone number of their great scoundrel came back to Earth , and immediately started creating bedlam – including the Saibamen . Saibamen are sentient , anthropomorphic planet - alike creatures used by Saiyans to kill less - powerful beings . While a Saibaman ca n’t equate to the powers of a Saiyan , one of them is sure as shooting strong enough to take on a fully - mature human – even one with the ability to acquire ki blasts andspecialty proficiency like Yamcha , so suppose what a horde of Saibamen could do to civilization . Well , after this episode aired , fans no longer had to . The Saibamen who came back to life terrorized an entire city , and none of their human victims could do anything to stop them .
The Saibamen proved to be a legitimate menace to the full world in thisGTepisode , consanguine even to that of King Piccolo or Cell in terms of far-flung destruction and overall repugnance . When the Saibamen first threatened the Earth back inDBZ , Yamcha was just a human – albeit an insanely strong man who learned how to harness his qi – but a human none - the - less , just like the thousands of people being thrown around like ragdolls by the Saibamen in this episode . Basically , the Saibamen are stronger than they ab initio look and the linguistic context inGTreveals that , show thatYamcha ’s last was n’t so patheticafter all . While devotee have been misjudging Yamcha base on the inaccurate index - laying claim of Saibamen in the past , and what that meant for anyone who was killed by one , that does n’t fully change the fact that Yamcha still soak up .
Yamcha has become the laughingstock of the other Z - Fighters because he does n’t do anything to make himself potent , yet still sense as though he should be invited to fight in bigDragon Ballevents like the Tournament of Power . Yet , when his friends do reach out to him and require him to link up a tourney with them just for fun ( like in the Majin Buu Saga ) , he refuses , suppose that he cognise he ’d just lose , so there ’s no decimal point in trying . While it is true thatDragon Ball GTprovedYamchaisn’t as pathetic as fan think when it comes to his infamous death by the hands of a Saibaman , he is n’t completely off the hook as being the most frustratingly disappointing eccentric in all ofDragon Ball – and perhaps anime – history .
