Would you prefer Yamcha to be stronger than Krillin?

[Benjamin-Simons-91]

I personally think that Tien is the strongest amongst the three.

[Almighty Majin]

Yamcha has been around since the beginning, I would prefer if he had a bigger role overall. Having Yamcha as a secondary or tertiary rival to Goku would have been nice. I am of the belief that if Goku never landed on Earth that Yamcha would have taken his place as Earth's strongest warrior and hero. That's a whole other can of worms that I won't get into in this thread though...

[theherodjl]

Nah. It honestly makes more sense that Krillin is stronger than Yamcha due to training alongside Goku for awhile, living with their master for several years of his life, and being married to a SSJ-tier woman. He also got his potential unlocked by Saichoro which seemed to work wonders for Gohan as well.
Perhaps if Puar could actually copy even 1/1,000,000,000,000 of Beerus' power when he shapeshifts into a Hakaishin, Yamcha might have a decent sparring partner to get stronger.

[Kid Buu]

It might have been good for the 22nd Budokai arc as Yamcha was putting over the new villain, but other than that, I don't see it impacting the story much.

[ZombieVito]

No. I like Krillin being the strongest human.

I just love it how Toei made Yamcha and Tien look good in filler. Mostly Yamcha.

[MasenkoHA]

I don’t see what it would add.

[Benjamin-Simons-91]

I don’t see what it would add.

Other than stopping Krillin from hogging the stage/camera out of all the humans? Oh, I don't know..

I mean he doesn’t and he certainly doesn’t hog it because he’s the strongest but go off, I guess

Just to put it in perspective so you'd see - the usage of the human Z-Fighters throughout Dragon Ball Super:

Krillin:
1. Battle of Gods - about to fight Beerus per Yamcha's request, despite its obvious outcome.
2. Resurrection 'F' - fights after telling his much more powerful wife to stay back.
3. Champa Arc - takes part in the recruitment of Team Universe 7.
4. Zamasu Arc - Is the only human Z-Fighter around.
5. Tournament of Power - Fights.
6. Moro Arc - Fights more than the rest of his human peers.
7. Super Hero - Plays active role in the prequal parts, and fights in the final clash with Cell Max.

Tien:
1. BoG - fights Beerus with no fear.
2. RoF - fights.
3. Champa Arc - Just watches.
4. Tournament of Power - fights after getting a horrible recruitment episode.
5. Moro Arc - fights, yet proves that he can't mock people anymore and fails in this and his next fight.

Yamcha:
1. BoG - Bystander, eventually a frightened one.
2. RoF - Wasn't shown and was described as "weak".
3. U6 - Just watches.
4. ToP - The living joke of uselessness.
5. Moro Arc - Fights well at first, then gets defeated along with Tien and Chiaotzu.

Chiaotzu:
1. BoG - bystander.
2. RoF - same as Yamcha.
3. U6 - bystander.
4. ToP - Fights against Yurin and her possessed minions, then bystander again.
5. Moro Arc - Fights, but his only vital showing was the mockery of the Metalman.

Master Roshi:
1. BoG - bystander.
2. RoF - Superstar all of the sudden.
3. U6 - bystander.
4. Zamasu Arc - Teaches Goku the Mafuba.
5. ToP - Superstar again, at least in the manga version.
6. Moro Arc - Fights, but seems to hit his limit.

In perfect world Kuririn, Yamcha and Tenshinhan would be equals.

But the only one who trains is Tenshinhan, so he should be the strongest.

[GokuHater]

No. I enjoy Krilin being the strongest

What I would prefer however would be treating Yamcha like a character and not just joke or comic relief.
I mean the amount of times he is treated as a gag or as a stupid cocky character rivals the way Goku is portrayed as stupid in modern DB.

In og Yamcha wasn't the main hero off course but was always a wise martial artist, the go to guy about other masters, a loyal friend and boyfriend.
So I would like to see that Yamcha, maybe not strength wise but character wise.

Unfortunately his character decline started as early as Cell saga...
