screenshot - yamcha dartboard

I was watching DBZ episodes on youtube. Krillin and Gohan return to where Bulma was hiding out right after they battled the Ginyu Force and Goku got there and told them to go make their wish before Guru dies. They get over to Bulma's hideaway to get the dragon radar and what do they find? Not only is she gone but she left some pretty hard-core evidence that she doesn't miss her dead boyfriend too much.

Of course this is up for debate, maybe she's mad at him for dying because she misses him so much. Either way, I think this screenshot is hilarious!

If you hate or love Yamcha I would love to hear your thoughts! I used to love Yamcha when I was young, but as I learned more about the series and Vegeta I switched to being a hard-core Veggie fan. I don't waste energy hating Yamcha, I just never give him a second thought any more.

OK, I lied. I have given him several thoughts, and I do hate him.

1. He and Bulma never should have been a couple in the first place. They were young kids who JUST wanted to be in a relationship, they were both available and cute, and hence they thought it was a match made in Heaven. WRONG!!

2. He used to take his training quite seriously, but then it's like he just gave up or something. By the time Androids 16 and 17 attack, he admits that he's the least helpful of the group and takes Goku home to get his heart medicine. Sure, it can be discouraging working with guys who are freakishly strong and you know you'll never outdo them, but just look at Tien and Krillin! They're Earthlings and they still give it their all and manage to be quite helpful. Yamcha has no excuse!!

3. I can understand him living with Bulma when they were a couple. However, after they break up he STILL seems to be over there ALL THE TIME. If they still wanna be friends and get along well after the breakup, great. If he still wants her to support him after the breakup, NO. Get a job!!

4. HE CHEATED! It's in the manga, it's in the animated series! HE CHEATED! Fans, please stop defending him and saying it's not true! HE CHEATED! How many times is unknown, but once is enough.

5. Right after he died and was on King Kai's planet he was SO eager to get back to life, go to Planet Namek and help. He had such a fiery spirit, but afterwards it just died for some reason. Freeza came to earth and he was so scared that he didn't even want to try to fight. In the movie Bojack Unbound he's seen just lying around on the battlefield wondering "Why should I even bother to fight in this tournament when Gohan and Piccolo and Trunks entered?" and he's so busy whining that he doesn't even react when the tower he was on got knocked over and he got out-of-bounds. Again, Tien entered and probably knew he was out-classed but still did his best and managed to fight Trunks in the semi-finals. Yamcha just laid there.

He wasn't 100% bad all the time and he certainly has his moments when he was brave, helpful and wonderful but he certainly seems to go downhill after the Freeza saga.

Oh I just know I'm gonna get my head bitten off by all the Yamcha fans for this.

Seriously though, I really don't mind if anyone out there loves him to pieces. It's just a cartoon! Go ahead and tell me if I'm right or wrong - I love talking about DBZ!! And I don't get to do it nearly enough. T_T
