Could have Yamcha cheated on Bulma...with another guy?
I was seeing some interesting Dragon Ball fanart... and it occurred to me that no one has brought up this possibility.

Re: Could have Yamcha cheated on Bulma...with another guy?
I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say no.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Nah. A guy who made his entire personality having social anxiety around women doesn’t have much versatility in their sexuality.
Re: Could have Yamcha cheated on Bulma...with another guy?
There's yaoi of just about every character. If the thought comes up to you that Yamcha could be gay because of fanart, it could also be that unfortunate belief that if a man isn't alpha enough, there is something absolutely wrong with him. In this case, shyness meaning gay. As if there are gay men that don't have absolute confidence in front of anyone including women.

I know Fanart is as meaningful as toilet paper when it comes to canon caracterization. But it is a possiblity I have not seen been brought up.

I know for a fact that there was a thread with this exact topic in the past.
Anyway, to answer your question, that definitely wasn’t what Toriyama had in mind when he wrote that line, but considering he would later claim that Yamcha never truly got over his anxiety around women, it does seem odd to accept that he would just cheat on his girlfriend with other women.

Re: Could have Yamcha cheated on Bulma...with another guy?
Is it possible? Of course. Is it likely? I don't think so at all.
I don't think that Yamcha ever did any cheating to begin with. Future Bulma says something like that, but Bulma was always insecure about the relationship and accusing Yamcha of unfaithfulness.

>Assigned male at birth.

>Wishes he could spend time with women without worry.
Ah yes, Yamcha's a Sapphic trans woman.

I always say that Bulma's paranoia drove him away. If someone keeps being suspicious of your every move you eventually decide it'll make no difference if you actually indulge and probably subconsciously want to get caught.WittyUsername wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 9:43 pm I know for a fact that there was a thread with this exact topic in the past.

Yamcha's a professional baseball player, he's fucked men.

I’d have an easier time buying that interpretation than Yamucha is secretly gay or actually bisexual.
I’m all for lesbian trans Yamucha

Re: Could have Yamcha cheated on Bulma...with another guy?
Anything is possible, but I have a hard time seeing it.
The story of DRAGON BALL starts from the moment Goku met Bulma. I don't really mind the Z, so long as it's understood that it's not the true beginning of the story.
I actually prefer the Goku vs Tenshinhan and Goku vs Piccolo Jr. rivalries to the Goku vs Vegeta rivalry.

Not only have we had this thread specifically but we have a hundred thousand variants of “Which characters could be LGBTQA” some of them are sincere and some of them are clearly troll bait.WittyUsername wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 9:43 pm I know for a fact that there was a thread with this exact topic in the past.
But regardless each time I scream in the sky “The main character is canonically the A in LGBTQA”

Re: Could have Yamcha cheated on Bulma...with another guy?
His initial character arc revolved around wanting to get a girlfriend, not “either or”.
So despite what Chris Sabat’s gaffs try to signal, Yamcha ain’t into men.

He could just be in denial or confused about his sexuality. There's really no way to know since we're talking about a fictional character here.PurestEvil wrote: ↑Sat Sep 04, 2021 3:31 am His initial character arc revolved around wanting to get a girlfriend, not “either or”.

I used my crystal ball and it told me that Yamcha is starting HRT next week. So proud of her and her he/him lesbian life partner Pu-erh.

Re: Could have Yamcha cheated on Bulma...with another guy?
I'm gonna agree with my friend here.
His entire character is based around how he loves women and wants a girlfriend. We never see him show that kind of affection to any male character.
Pro tip: Don't use Dragon Ball fan art as a source. I'm sure that there is probably a ton of 'fan art' about King Kai's orientation so I won't even go near that.

Re: Could have Yamcha cheated on Bulma...with another guy?
From my perspective, no one here is an official writer for the franchise, so anything we speculate about is just fanfiction and fan theories. And with those, you can do anything you want.Jord wrote: ↑Sat Sep 04, 2021 10:09 amI'm gonna agree with my friend here.
