He’s such a funny and rowdy boy; he is basically a villain-turned-hero, but he’s like... so casual and off-beat about it, like “I used to live in the desert and rob people, but now I save the world and play baseball, no big deal”
This is less about not liking him, and more about not liking how the show treats him; throw the guy a bone! Let him do some cool junk! I kinda just wish there was more going on when Goku was either off training or dead (or both), and we could see the other characters shine. And then Goku returns and deals with the big problems, but still
Favorite episode (scene if movie)-
I can’t remember what each individual episode was... but I love all the “filler episodes” with him where he got to make funny comments
I like him best in the Android/Cell sagas, but there are some fun moments with him early in the Majin/Buu sagas
ffffff when Goku was like ‘Good luck having a baby Bulma!”, and Bulma was like ‘”Dude WHAT???”, and Yamcha, who is technically still kinda dating her as she has not yet hooked up with Vegeta, is like “Haha, he’s telling us we should have some kids already!”
That outfit he wore to Bulma’s party (when Beerus showed up)
Mostly Tien... but if I picked somebody else, I like him and a somehow-revived-and-now-good Jeice (they’re both baseball dorks, it is perfect)
Tien again, but also Goku~
Everybody has their own ideas about just what he did that finally ticked-off Bulma, and it was hinted that he was “unfaithful”... I can’t see him legit just fooling around and cheating on Bulma, HOWEVER, I imagine he was jealous that it was so easy for Bulma to interact with other people (she’s better at both flirting and being flirted-at), he probably started trying to talk to more girls in an effort to tease her, and it just SUPER BACK-FIRED, and she dropped him. It was like a bad episode of Friends... and Yamcha was, unfortunately, the Ross
I don’t know how “unpopular” it is exactly, but I like to think that Yamcha isn’t still too hung-up on Bulma, but she’s one of his oldest friends, and he wants to hang out with her a lot, and he also wishes that he could be friends with Vegeta too (but that is such a chore... and also, even when you DO get to the friendship-level with Vegeta, he won’t tell you)
HE GETS TO DO SOMETHING COOL DANG IT, also it’d be great if he just like... started adopting kids. give me Yam-dad!
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen-
The DBZ series is notorious for having the characters go off for like 5 years at a time and not talk to each other, and I would hate if there was a long year gap, and then everybody reunited... and it turned out Yamcha died off-screen, nobody knew about it, and he just got even MORE ignored
5 words to best describe them-
Awkward, tenacious, brazen, enthusiastic, amusing
Yam-ba-bams, and Yam-chad
