I'm not sure why people think internet meme's reflect the popularity of a character. Yamcha is always in the top 10 list of heroes in Japanese polls, just below the Saiyans, Piccolo and Krillin.

He's popular because he's a joke.

For some a meme is a source of humor, for Yamcha it is the immobilization of his eternal failure.

He's popular because Japanese fans started with Dragonball and not just DBZ.

Wouldn't mind him replacing Tenshinhan, though.
Ten kinda sorta works if they were going for the whole "Goku brings a team full of former villains/assholes to fight with him", but then again, Gohan and Roshi undermine that from the get go. Wouldn't mind replacing them both with Yamcha and Freeza to be honest.

I'd be fine enough with it, since I'd still prefer Yamcha over Buu, or Roshi. But I'd also prefer Freeza over Yamcha. And Buu over Roshi.
Freeza > Yamcha > Buu > Roshi

I'd feel fucking happy if that happens but sadly it won't.

I'd be happy. Sad that Buu gets shafted but Yamcha's been getting shafted a lot too
At least one of them making it would be great.

I wouldn't count on that, Yamcha after his baseball episode got a lot of praise from the meme community, and that's saying something, they successfully transformed his failure pose into winning pose for them..

I'd rather have Yamcha than Frieza. I'm serious. I'm so tired of seeing Frieza being reused over and over again. Anyone but Frieza or Jaco or Monaka.

Yamcha's greatest accomplishments:
O.H.K.O.ing an 11 year old girl.
Beating a young and hungry Goku
Seeing Bulma naked twice in the same night (both by accident no less)
Overcoming a fear of girls
Dating Bulma
Helping out the team in ways that do not involve fighting
Competing in the main matches of the 22nd and 23rd Budokai Tenkaichi tournaments
Learning the Kamehameha
Creating his own unique attacks (wolf fang fist and Spirit Ball)
Being a star baseball player
Yamcha's greatest failures:
Losing the 22nd Budokai Tenkaichi. I won't count the 23rd 'cuz Piccolo.
Dying to a SAIBAMAN!
Getting dumped by Bulma
Two words: Holey Android
Being an overall disgrace to every mentor he's ever trained under
Overall Summary:
Sure, the accomplishments outweigh the failures by sheer numbers but if you look at it as a whole... Why would you trust him with the fate of your universe!? Why would you trust him with the fate of ANYTHING!?
My opinion:
OH HELL NO!

I'll be laughing my guts off hysterically if that ever happens. It would be funny how Toei chose Yamcha, of all people, to be Boo's replacement.

While I'm annoyed that Boo got shafted again like many others and since I'm indifferent towards Freeza, I'd take this. Rather have him replace Roshi or Tenshithan, though.

I'd feel disappointed that they would swap out Freeza for Yamcha.
It's best that Ten, Roshi, and Vegeta where to go, would make more room for the more interesting characters.

What's with the Tien hate bro? I seen you post that on a few occasions. I'm not the biggest fan of Tien either but I mean come on....
He brings in absolutely nothing to the story.
Midget Kuririn doesn't bring shit to the story and he is there.
On topic i wouldn't be surprised if he replaces Tenshinhan.

I wanted Yamcha to fight one of the dangerous trio ever since I saw them, but I'd rather not him take Buu's spot.

Seing Fukkatsu no F, this could also have happened to Goku. And the Saibaman was already defeated, it was not like Yamcha was so weak he did not even have a chance against that thing. He just did not expect it.

I know the previews are all pointing towards Freeza... but this is very possible, is it not? Are we really expected to believe Freeza would cooperate with Goku and Co, even with all the Gods there? I honestly can see it as him saying absolutely no, and Goku runs out of time and pulls Yamcha...
