Background

Yamcha is a major supporting protagonist of the Dragon Ball series, serving as the first martial artist friend and rival of Son Goku. Initially starting as a bandit alongside his shapeshifting partner, Puar, Yamcha later joined Goku's journey and reformed himself. Having trained with accomplished mentors such as Master Roshi, Kami, and King Kai, Yamcha is an accomplished martial artist and defender of Earth.

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

Yamcha was born on March 20, Age 733. He became a bandit of the Diablo Desert, and lived off of the resources he would pillage from people passing by. Because of this, he developed very powerful fighting techniques and martial arts skill, as well as a hardened personality; curiously, though, he always dreamed of marriage, and would be paralyzed at just the sight of a woman. At the age of 14, Yamcha met his companion, the shape-shifting cat Puar, and the two would soon become lifelong friends. Puar became Yamcha’s partner in crime for the next two years, until they crossed paths with a young Saiyan named Goku, and his companions Bulma and Oolong. Although Yamcha was at first simply wanting to rob the crew, Goku’s resilience and Bulma’s appearance kept him at bay. The bandit eventually developed feelings for Bulma, as she did for him. Yamcha would go on to trail the crew, with the hopes of finally being able to steal from them and return home, although he found himself, more often than not, coming to their aid. Eventually, with how many times he fought alongside Goku’s crew, he teamed up with them, making Yamcha the first member of Goku’s Dragon Team. Yamcha would go on to participate in several World Martial Arts Tournaments, and found tutelage under the legendary Turtle Hermit, Master Roshi. Soon enough, Yamcha became a formidable opponent and one of the most powerful humans on the entire planet, with his power skyrocketing in order to keep pace with his peers. Unfortunately, however, his relationship was shaky; Bulma mistook his nervousness around women for disloyalty, and the two would eventually split up. However, despite this, Yamcha still remained a loyal, caring, and charismatic friend. He’s suffered several defeats, namely when he lost his life during the Saiyan invasion on Earth, but continued pushing forwards in his martial arts expertise. No matter how outclassed he felt himself getting, he would continue to do what he could, including joining the Cell Games. Yamcha also went on to follow his true passion, and become a worldwide professional baseball player. Although even with a career in baseball keeping him busy, he will always be there if the Earth is threatened.

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, which can be used to shoot out energy blast), 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), Heat Manipulation (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.

Notable Techniques

TechniquesForms and Transformations

• Flight: With a mastery of Ki control, Yamcha is able to fly at incredibly high speeds.
• Ki Blast: Using Ki, Yamcha can concentrate it into a ball that he uses as a projectile attack.
• Ki Sense: Yamcha is able to detect lifeforms and power levels from far off.
• Wolf Fang Fist: Yamcha’s most famous attack, which sees him do a barrage of claw swipes and punches, before finishing by sending the opponent hurtling with a palm strike and a howl.
  • Blinding Wolf Fang Fist: Yamcha charges at the foe and kicks them high into the air, before charging power in his palms and rushing at them and blasting right through them.
  • Neo Wolf Fang Fist: A much more powerful version of the Wolf Fang Fist, which is amplified in power by his Ki.

Other

Standard Tactics: Originally as a bandit Yamcha favored more sly attacks such as attacking with weapons from afar and if he had to fight up close, using his wolf fang fist and sword. Currently, Yamcha will employ hand to hand combat along with ki attacks.

Weaknesses

• Standard Ki Weaknesses: 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 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 themself, 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.
• Turtle Hermit Style Weaknesses: As the style does not incorporate any real fighting techniques, it has a heavy reliance on durability, stamina, muscles and speed, along with agility, thus anyone with superior statistics then them can easily overpower this style, along with this any character capable of using attacks that bypass defense altogether such as pressure point strikes can easily overcome a turtle hermit style user, even if they use extra forms and techniques to heighten their defenses. Thus anyone with techniques that ignore statistics or are simply higher in statistics than a Turtle Hermit Style user can easily overcome this style.
• Unique Weaknesses: Yamcha used to have a horrible fear of women that would immediately paralyze him upon seeing, although he’s since gotten over it. However, he maintains a certain overconfidence against enemies he views as weaker, which can lead to his eventual loss.

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.
