Background

A normal human boy who died in his life and was transferred to the Reincarnation Game, a game created and played by Beerus and Champa, to participate as Yamcha.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Yamcha’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Pre-Reincarnation This boy was an avid fan of Dragon Ball and would participate in Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle tournaments, usually winning when "Oushou" was not participating. One day when he tried to get a good look at a girl's skirt, he accidentally fell down the stairs in which resulted in the boy's death. The boy's soul was caught and reincarnated into a Reincarnation Game created by Beerus and Champa as Yamcha to participate against "Oushou", the reincarnated being that is known as Chiaotzu. Dragon Ball The boy finds himself reincarnated as Yamcha, immediately realizing he could take advantage of this situation due to his knowledge of Dragon Ball lore. After the battle against Pilaf, Yamcha instead chose to join Goku in training with Master Roshi. Dragon Ball Z Later, in preparation for the battle against Vegeta and Nappa, after completing training under Kami and Mr. Popo, rather than continuing his training with the others, Yamcha instead asks Mr. Popo for a spaceship to reach Planet Namek. He lands on Planet Namek and immediately seeks out Nail (who turns down his request at first). He then goes off to go find the Grand Elder Guru (who sees that the boy is from another world) to request that he have his potential unlocked. Guru accepts and also has Nail train Yamcha for six months. While resting inside the spaceship, Bulma calls him and says that the two Saiyans are on their way. The boy suddenly realizes that the time-frame is different in the manga and asks to use the Namekian Dragon Balls. Porunga is summoned and the boy uses the first of three wishes to warp back to Earth. After returning to Earth, Yamcha rushes to the battlefield and defeats all the Saibamen. He then squares off against Nappa and beats him with no trouble at all. Yamcha then teams up with Goku against Vegeta. The boy has a hard time against the Saiyan prince until realizing Vegeta's bingo dance was when Beerus was on Earth. He distracts Vegeta by calling out Beerus' name and knocks him into the air for Goku to fire a charged-up Kamehameha Wave. Vegeta is defeated and escapes. The boy attempts to shoot down the Attack Ball, but stops upon realizing future events would require the reformed Vegeta (i.e. Future Trunks), and decides not to. Since the Saibamen and Saiyans were defeated compared to the original timeline, none of the Z-Fighters die in the battle. The boy begins to worry about the Earthlings characters being far surpassed in the battles later on in the story against villains such as Frieza, Cell, and Majin Buu. Unknown to everybody else, Kami senses Oushou's mysterious presence, likening it to that of the boy's soul and implying they come from the same world. Following the appearance of Future Trunks and his warning of the Androids, Yamcha is aware that it is almost time for him to lose Bulma to Vegeta and so vows to make a move on her before it is too late. Requiring advice, he seeks out Krillin at Kame House who advises him to change his haircut and get more stylish clothing. Upon doing so in the city, he comes across two criminals holding a girl at hostage. Yamcha effortlessly takes them down but rejects the girls offer for a date. At Capsule Corporation, Yamcha becomes nervous at seeing Bulma and her interaction with Vegeta. He follows Vegeta outside and without warning leaps into a fight with him though he is easily beaten. Laying on the floor, Yamcha decides he can finally get over Bulma and tells Vegeta to take good care of her. 10 years later, the boy heads off to the Cell Games arena where Goku and the others were, but instead takes a different course of action by instead confronting an opponent who is reincarnated in the body of Chiaotzu. Yamcha tells Chiaotzu that he always knew something was up with his actions and behavior and the latter admits that he plans on ruling the Dragon Ball World. Soon, the two reincarnated souls fought against one-another. Chiaotzu used his Telekinesis powers to hurl rocks at Yamcha, but the latter counters with his Wolf Fang Fist; just then Chaiotzu uses the Dodon Ray to shoot Yamcha at point-blank range. Yamcha quickly eats a Senzu Bean as Chiatozu moves in for the kill and dodges just in time. Having little choice in regards of not killing an ally nor will the other soul listen to reason, Yamcha uses a capsule to summon a jar to use the Evil Containment Wave in order to seal the latter away; it nearly worked until he becomes too exhausted to seal away Chaiotzu. Reminiscing the fight between Chiaotzu and Krillin, the boy asks the latter of his birth-date, with him guessing wrong, allowing Yamcha the advantage. The battle ends with the person inhabiting Chiaotzu's body realizing the error of his ways; the two souls peacefully conversed and realized how much they have in common regarding the Dragon Ball world, as well as the idea of spending the rest of their lives in the bodies of Yamcha and Chiaotzu respectively. Following their battle, Yamcha suggests to Oushou that they try using Fusion. Oushou thinks it is a good idea but realises that they need to have near identical energy levels and body types for it to work. Oushou remembers Ex-Fusion from the video game Dragon Ball Fusions in which Bulma created a special type of arm-band that allowed anyone to fuse. The two head off to Kame House to meet with Bulma who creates the arm bands in just thirty minutes. The two successfully pull off the fusion and are overjoyed at the power they now wield and decide to head for the Cell Games Arena. Before doing so they wonder to go by the name Yamzu or Chaocha and take a look in the mirror to see how the fusion turned out. Seeing the less than desirable result, they defuse and decide to give up on fusion entirely. The scene then shifts, revealing that Beerus and Champa were playing a game of reincarnation and their game ended in a tie (with Whis and Vados standing besides them). The two Gods of Destruction bickered and destroyed their game; Whis simply returns the two souls back to their original world. The boy wakes up standing outside of his school with his friend informing him of the stairs incident. The boy waves his hand that summons a gust of wind that lifts up a female student's skirt, and he wonders about the ability. The boy's friend asks how he did that, but dismisses it as some form of coincidence. The final chapter closes while implying that the boy had retained some powers from his time in the Dragon Ball Universe (with the original image of Yamcha besides him).

Powers and Techniques

Standard Ki AbilitiesUnique AbilitiesWith Equipment

• Chi Manipulation & Ki Manipulation (All beings in Dragon Ball have ki, the very life force energy of all characters, ki allows a fighter to extend beyond their bodies limits, allowing them to even block attacks that would otherwise kill them from raising their guard, higher level users can lower their own durability to allow people far below them to fatally wound them)
  • Aura
    • Projection: A users ki aura can exert itself as a weapon to attack.
    • Explosive: Ki users through powering up can form an entire aura around themself, radiating their immense power, where depending on their immense strength, can cause them to explode their aura outwards to remove excess ki from themself.
    • Mood Reflection: Goku and Piccolo Jr. with their auras and their stern concentration on each other reflected in their electric auras, even shooting electricity at each other.
  • Emotional Empowerment (It's noted that ki users can receive energy through one cheering them on. Ki users can be greatly increased by their emotions and beliefs, Son Goku explains that Son Gohan needs to remember the time he fought Cell and bring out all of the power he has, this way he can lose to no one where it's shown during the Cell beam clash that he was holding back greatly out of fear of destroying the earth but from being cheered on and using all of his power within him, he was able to overpower Cell)
  • Attack Reflection (All Ki users are able to reflect attacks just by being stronger than their opponent. Examples include, Nappa deflecting a masenko from Son Gohan, Son Gohan being able to bounce back the spirit bomb, Son Goku deflecting a crusher ball from Jeice, Frieza deflecting a Final Burst Cannon from Vegeta, Son Goku reflecting multiple death beams back to back from Frieza, and Future Trunks being able to completely repel an energy blast with his hand from a Frieza Soldier just by being much stronger than them)
  • Homing Attack (Ki users can create attacks that will home in and chase a target forever)
  • Penetration Damage

  • Weapon Creation (Ki users can create energy weapons out of their attacks)
  • Power Absorption & Energy Transferal (Ki users can transfer their ki to others and absorb the ki given to them from others)
  • Attack Nullification
    • Ki Energy Based: Those with ki can nullify attacks of lesser ki with their ki alone. They can also catch and nullify ki attacks around their level through focusing enough.
  • Power Nullification
    • Ki Energy Based: Through having greater ki, one can nullify the powers done through ki attacks, such as Frieza being able to nullify a hakai ball, which fully destroys a target, though he is unable to resist a hakai ball from Toppo due to him being stronger, this ability however only works on ki, attacks unrelated, characters cannot resist through being stronger, such as how Vegeta, Krillin, & Son Gohan are unable to resist Guldo's psychic powers, along with even the likes of Son Goku.
  • Forcefield Creation (Ki users such as Cell can generate forcefields around themselves. These forcefields can be expanded, and used to protect others and defend against attacks far higher then the user. Forcefields effectivel allow the ki user to be able to block substances from other ki techniques, such as poisons. Ki users can also project forcefields around themselves to protect themselves from ki absorptions that require grabbing them and bringing them into one's body)
  • Super Armor (Through releasing one's ki, they enter a state known as "Hyper Mode", in this state they do not flinch from weak melee attacks)
  • Self-Destruction (Ki users in Dragon Ball are able to release all of the energy within them to cause a massive self-destruction of energy that normally kills the user and turns them into dust though one can control it to surviving but having no stamina or energy left)
  • Dormant Power Reservoir (Ki users have a dormant power reservoir within them, as shown in arcs like the Buu Saga where Babidi saps this energy in order to use the energy to revive Buu and break his seal)
  • Internal Destruction (Powerful ki users can overload enemies with their ki, causing them to swell up and explode from the sheer density of ki within them)
  • Binding
    • Energy Binding: Ki Users can use their ki to bind targets to objects, making them unable to escape even if they're of equal power, however, those stronger than the ki user can easily break out of it.
  • Dreaming Existence (Characters in Shin Budokai have shown to create physical bodies in alternate timelines through dreaming)
  • Non-Standard Interaction
    • Intangible Interaction: Those with ki can block intangible attacks when they focus and notices them.
    • Space-Time Interaction (3+1-D): Characters can blast space-time distortions to close them.

    • Resurrection of the Deceased (Limited): Ki users can resuscitate ones heart from death through instilling lifeforce into their ki and hitting their heart, restarting it.
    • Resurrection from Exhaustion: Can heal downed allies to give them ki back, reviving them)

  • Weather Manipulation (Powerful Ki users can generate entire storms through merely powering up alone, Nappa used this in order to conjure the electricity from the storm. Goku showcases this when he first turns super saiyan, causing a massive lightning storm in the background)
  • Energy Manipulation (Ki is the latent power in one's body, this latent power allows them to form and create energy from controlling their ki)
    • Energy Projection (Can shoot energy blast out of their hands through controlling ki)
    • Possible Delayed Effect (Ki users can have their attacks have delayed effects to them, such as when Baby felt the affects of the kamehameha delayed)
  • Explosion Manipulation (Ki attacks can create massive explosions, or control the ki to set off a huge explosion under the enemy, or in front of them)
  • Portal Manipulation
    • Non-combat applicable: Characters in GT can link their minds together to open a portal between the living realm and the other world.
  • Heat Manipulation
    • At least 100 C: Ki user's ki attacks produce heat allowing them to cook and grill animals and raw meat, along with leaving behind steam after the attacks hit an area, showing its latent heat. Ki users electricity aura can burn objects that touch it.

Other

Standard Tactics: Just like the original Yamcha he opts for hand to hand combat along with ki attacks.

Weaknesses

• Standard Ki Weaknesses: Ki users that do not have sufficient training over their emotions put their power within a mental lock, with changes to their emotions can seriously limiting their powers or making them uncontrollable. Their emotions can also have them instinctively block using the full power of their attacks out of fear of the destruction along with lack of confidence in themselves.Ki users can only sense targets moving at super speed through feeling their chi, with them becoming so accustomed to tracking energy that they've lost their eyes for movement. Ki users can get hit by off guard attacks from characters far slower then them. If ki users are paralyzed or their nerves are numb, they can be killed by much weaker attacks. If a Ki user is inflicted with any kind of status, disease, or poison, powering up or transforming will put further strain on the body and can speed up the process of poison. Users of Ki Sensing cannot sense beings that invisible, even if the character is in front of them attacking them, they have a hard time countering them due to being invisible. Users of Ki Sensing also have a harder time sensing the true being using illusions, requiring them to focus in on energy fields to see who is moving and who is casting the illusion. Due to the nature of ki draining stamina and energy, Dragon Ball characters ki usage requires them to usually use their higher levels of energy in short bursts, using a large amount of ki overtime can greatly weaken them to the point that characters far lower then them can actually harm them with attacks. Taking large amounts of damage can greatly deplete a ki users attacks, making it where attacks that would otherwise kill massively weakened characters, only pushes them back. Ki users cannot put all of their ki and strength into an attack if parts of their body are broken/injured, they also lose half of their chi if something like one of their arms are badly injured or broken.Ki users that are able to ki sense cannot do it when their guard is dropped, such as when Vegeta was able to sneak attack Son Goku during the end of their fight in the Buu Saga. Despite some ki users being able to reach blasts that can destroy planets through charged attacks or techniques, they have not shown to be able to tank such blasts themselves, with attacks that have destroyed several planets in the series always killing the character. Even characters such as Majin Buu's body cannot withstand the energy of a planet exploding. Using ki volley attacks come with the caveat of their aim being rather poor, making it harder to hit moving targets. If ki users are at all possessed, even by accident, their true self will be sleeping within, with the possessor needing to awaken them. Even if awoken, they are immobilized and unable to move without the possessor giving them the ability to, even with them wanting to wake up, they cannot do it. Specific waves can can suppress a ki users power, and put their consciousness to sleep. If Ki users stamina is broken, they will unable to be able to continue fighting for a short while, this will also cancel out any ki attack they were attempting to use, including ultimate's, this also adds on that ki users guards are down while charging ultimate attacks. Their stamina can also be broken if a character moves far too fast and surprise attacks them while they're charging their ki. Ki Users can also be grabbed out of charging their attacks. When ki users radiate their Ki at its highest, their body is also freed the most, making them open to attacks and making them easy to possess. Ki attacks can be blocked by magma based attacks, such as even when Vegeta's strongest charged blast, the final flash, was being blocked by Magetta's magma. Ki users have far lower reactions and speeds when they do not have their ki up or are not on guard, such as when Mai's sniper would've hit Goku Black if she didn't miss.
• Unique Weaknesses: Unlike the original Yamcha, seems to carry none of his weaknesses.

Note

• Some clips used on the profile come from an anime or movie due to the fact that some abilities from ki use shouldn't function much differently from how they can in canon, along with this sometimes the anime version/video game version of a scene will be used for cleaner visuals. Toriyama himself directly overlooks scenes in the anime and movies and gives Toei the thumbs up.
• The speed scaling for PLs are taken with a grain of salt as there are noticeable times where someone's speed isn't equal to their power, such as Burter being faster then Recoome and Jeice, along with Super Saiyan Grade 3 Trunks having his power greatly increased but his speed decreased.

Trivia

• Though the boy mentions Dokkan Battle tournaments, there are no direct PvP modes in the game, although if one considers the World Tournament mode, it is possible that the boy typically got the top ranking (locals, worldwide, etcetera) whenever Oushou was not also participating in a World Tournament.

Codex Statistics Questions

Q: What about the planetary feats in Dragon Ball?

A: Planetary feats are normally done through their strongest charged blast, where they can gather ki to shoot out blast far beyond what the character is normally capable of, with blasts capable of seriously damaging/destroying the Earth along with completely obliterating the opponent, though they themselves are never capable of leaving this unscathed.

ExamplesNon-Planetary Showings

Frieza throws a destroy the planet death ball attack but it doesn't destroy the planet. Goku then interestingly notes the reason the planet didn't blow up is because Frieza was too scared of getting caught in the blast . Vegeta's final flash is noted it's going to destroy the planet and Perfect Cell, who is beyond Vegeta, couldn't tank the blast and had to dodge it last second or it would've killed him. Goku's kamehameha was going to destroy the earth and Cell cannot tank this blast, needing to regenerate. Semi-Perfect Cell explosion was consistently noted it was going to destroy the planet and Gohan and it killed Goku. Ultimate Gohan dies to an attack that destroys the earth, his guard was up too since this was when he was fighting Super Buu. Kid Buu shoots a blast trying to destroy the planet, with Vegeta noting he's going to take himself out with it if he lets it off. In Dragon Ball GT, Great Ape Baby Vegeta shoots a super galick gun that he claims will destroy Earth, when Goku is hit by it, he is knocked out to the point that he can't move for a good while, Elder Kai and Shin later state that Baby is going to shoot another blast that will destroy the planet on, greatly injuring Baby if he's caught in the Blast and will kill everyone on the planet if done. Frieza destroyed the entire earth, killing Vegeta in the process. In the Dragon Ball Super Manga, Gohan tells Goku that he doesn't need to hold anything back and can go all out because anything that happens to the Earth can be restored with Dende and the Dragon Balls. Yet, none of Goku's all out attacks destroy the planet but just heavily causes shockwaves around it. Semi-Perfect Cell unleashes a several blast that destroys several islands Android 16 notes that the attacks are just strong enough to not kill Android 18.

In the fight of Trunks vs. Mecha Frieza, who is far stronger than his final form, Mecha Frieza immediately goes for his strongest attack, the Supernova. In the original Z anime King Kai even states this is ten times stronger than the power he used on Namek:

• DBZ Kai Version.
• Original DBZ Anime Version.
