You live your entire life as a criminal in a desert. The only companionship you have a talking cat. One day, desperate for something of worth in your dirt-ridden existence, you try to rob a teenage girl, a pig, and a small boy. The small boy kicks your teeth out after seeing a girl makes you bashful and embarrassed, and peeping a titty makes you pass out.

When confronted with the possibility of having any wish granted by a magical dragon, your wish would be "I don't want to drop spaghetti while looking at a lady"


You then spend days creeping on these folks, watching for a way to achieve this lofty goal, you are forced to hit a little girl (one of your few [only?] victories) and then hit on her.


Eventually you are captured and saved only when the little kid turns into a giant monkey. The pig does more than you to save the day.

But it's okay, right? You finally got a girlfriend. Well, kind of. You don't really see each other that often.

You decide to show the world your stuff and enter into the Tenkaichi Budokai, the greatest martial arts tournament of all time. You are immediately eliminated in the quarter finals by an old man nobody's heard of before. You embarrass and humiliate yourself by insisting that it's a different old man in disguise before being proven a fool.

The next time you hear from Goku, he's taking on terrorist Nazis or some crazy shit. So you gear up to raid the Hydra base and... you're not needed at all. You get a sinking feeling in your heart, like this won't be getting old soon.

You help Goku fight the fortune teller's fighters. An invisible man beats you up and you barely win when your girlfriend's boobs are gawked at by an old man. You are then beaten up by a mummy.


But the Turtle Hermit, greatest living martial arts master, has taken you in. You'll do well in the next tournament!

Nope. The heel you challenged beats and destroys you in front of a crowd. You are helpless. Like a child. Your legs, broken. By the end of the tournament, the man who brutalized you is declared champion, but he decided to be "nice" now, so you have to pretend that it's okay and you're friends after he annihilated your pride for all to see.

A demon king attacks the world and you stay with the peanut gallery. The bad guy doesn't even bother to go after you despite specifically targeting martial artists. Jesus Christ.


Speaking of God, Goku is training with God now. You feel so very small and weak. M-maybe the next tournament.... ?



The next tournament sees you headbutted in the junk and defeated handily by a middle aged tourist. True, it's God in disguise, but still. Nobody knows that. Yamcha, the desert bandit. His tournament career ended by an old man. That's your public legacy.

(Also you have a scar for some reason, which is kind of pathetic considering that the children who underwent the same training didn't get maimed like you.)

Oh, and Goku gets married before you, and he doesn't even know what marriage is.



Years pass and you become a baseball player. That one glorious period of fame and recognition is going to come to an end. You learn that Goku's dead and it's time for you and the others to take the lead. Time to train under God himself to protect the Earth from deadly alie

nvm you died. krillin destroys several saibamen with a single attack, while you lie lifeless in the dirt. good try though. yajirobe and the five year old do more than you.


For the next few months you sit on a planet while King Kai teaches you jack shit.


You come back to life! Your girlfriend breaks up with you and immediately starts flirting with the guy who got you killed less than a year ago. His power is so strong and big compared to yours, flaccid and tiny. You can only stand around and cry when Frieza comes to Earth, and are filled with joy when he's defeated by a mysterious stranger from the future who gives you a dire warning that you're going to fail in another timeline as well.

After three years of training your ex hooks up with the evil spaceman and they make a baby, who you have to help change the diapers of whenever you swing by

You get punched through the chest by an old man without doing anything. You try to explain that they can steal your energy, but you could have done something before that. You just don't care anymore. You wait until Goku's nearly dead to explain the energy stealing bit, and then take him back home to babysit him as you openly acknowledge your uselessness

Oh and the future stranger is Bulma and Vegeta's badass robot fighting son, and thus the whole fate of two worlds depended on Vegeta and Bulma's amazing sweaty unprotected lovemaking. Nothing has ever depended on you or ever will

Tien does more than you when he holds off the bugman. You just do nothing. Krillin gets a robot girlfriend who barely ages. You get nothing.



A tournament comes around again and the gang is getting together for old time's sake. Even Krillin is going to enter. Good ol' Krillin. Always there for the team. Always in the fight, even when he's outclassed.

You stay in the stands with Krillin's daughter to babysit her. Your ex-girlfriend cheers on her husband and their son, who wins the junior division. You have no son.



When they all fly off to fight Majin Buu nobody even thinks about inviting you to come and help


Nobody ever thinks about you

Team rocket wins because when they are seperated they are top teir, only together do they job.

James has shown hismself to be a very competent trainer, and possibly a breeder. Along with that his parents are rich.

Meyowoth was sort of a detective and was on the good guy ash side for a while, and was way more interesting do thing that.

And jessie showed herself to be a compient in in pokemon competition And have a good character design and pretty cute i dunno

They do job, team rocket blasting off and stuff, and they suffer from the sonic team problem of " hey instead of fixing the old idea, or going with the old idea that was like 90 percent good and just fix it up, lets try a new thing and fuck up " . I feel like eventually they can go their seperate ways like they have before and be successful.

I don't think yamcha will ever be successful

So team rocket

Actually they were really successful as a team for a while in Black and White once they didn't fuck with Ash and his friends. Once that happened again they went back to square one.

But yea Team Rocket

Damn, I totally forgot she used to wear a Goku Uniform. Yea, she'd kick Yamcha's ass to Bolivia and back.

Is there anyone in the animated world Yamcha can beat?!?!


Oh here we are.

Yamcha vs. Pabu, who we got?

Depends on your definition of "death." Your stoic shrine to Kuvira did indeed die, I'm pretty sure of it, cause for all I know I probably killed it myself. It does live on as a shrine to "thirst quenching" Kuvira and being thirsty in general and is currently celebrating non Korra related thirst.

Her design in Sigma 2 is so garbage. Her original outfit is so much better. Not as bad as Ayane's, though.

Never mind the fact that her bust triples, she's only 15. She's 15 in the first game, too. And that outfit...awful. Not even because it's revealing. It's just cosmetically awful. It's stupid.

Say what you want about Momiji, but I like Naginata's and I like her design a lot better than Rachel's. I hate using Rachel's tank ass as well, no god damn fun. And yeah Ayane has one of the worst designs with that big ass ribbon in the back.

I actually kinda liked the ribbon. And I like Momiji, just that outfit is kinda dumb. Rachel is basically broken in NGS2. Like, she can cheese shit so easy because her projectile is super good. Her hammer's Ultimate Technique is also super good.

Her move list just never clicked with the way I played. I honestly preferred playing as Ayane and Momiji more in Sigma 2. Though I will admit I didn't play as Rachel that much in Sigma 2. Just being forced to use her in Sigma 1 and never enjoying her segments pretty much scared me off of her.

TTGL Ep 23:

Why are their final battle costumes so fucking garish looking? I loved the ROSSIU LET'S SEE YOU GRIT THOSE TEETH!! moment. Their relationship really is a bit like the Simon and Kamina one, though I'll admit both Simon and Rossiu have a lot more balance and common sense than Simon and Kamina did.

Early Z was pretty good with techniques like Kaoiken playing a big role in the Goku vs Vegeta fight. That though could be seen as a transformation which would become almost the central point of the show going forward. At least with Kaioken it had a toll on the body depending on how crazy you went with it. Added a bit of tension. They tried to do that with SSJ3 but it fell flat.

Yeah when Goku went Kaioken x 3 that was a pretty hype moment, but it wrecked his body, there was a limit on it so he couldn't just spam the fuck out of it. After pretty much his fight with Ginyu I don't think he ever really did it again. I didn't really have much of a problem with SSJ3 since he barely used it in the show.

Gokus Instant Transmission Kamehameha was pretty hype. Too bad those idiots just stood there looking at Cell's torso instead of blasting him away.

The problem with SSJ3 is that it wasn't meant for a living body like other SSJ forms. So when he used it while fighting Kid Buu he was alive, thus it drained him faster.

The big question is instead of going to the spirit bomb idea. They didn't just wish Gohan to the planet to kill Kid Buu...though he'd probably mess that up.

This is what happens when the author of something is a complete fanboy for his main character. He can't use some logic and let a side character have a moment to shine. It's like with Kakyoin in Stardust Crusaders or Lisa Lisa in Battle Tendency. Granted based on what I've read Araki gets a lot better with that in later chapters though.

The funny thing is, is the fact that Gohan was supposed to be the secondary main character. Yet so many people say Vegeta from the Cell Saga onward took that role.

Hell, I'd say Vegeta is the second most important character in the Buu saga.

Vegeta definitely had potential, luckily he did get beyond his living in Goku's shadow phase. Better dad than Goku too.

This true after a certain point. Goku versus the Ginyu force was pretty hype, as was most of the saga's fights. Goku versus Majin Vegeta had a nice mix, too. But the ki blasts became way too prevalent as the show wore on.

One of the dopest moves in the entire show, and it capped off a cool back and forth between Goku and Cell. That whole saga was stupid though, before and after that moment.

Cell Saga got a bit out of hand when he shitted out those Cell Jr's and then it went through a couple of extensions after that. They never really knew when to end the damn sagas.
