Yamcha may have gotten stompe but he fought alongside the Z Senshi way more times.

Yajirobe was a barely a Z Fighter during the Saiyan saga and that was it. After that he just spent his days at Korin Tower not doing squat.

I'd say one of the kids (Goten and Trunks) since they aren't used to a similar situation and aren't mentally prepared to handle such a decision. And also, they are pretty naive.
But that is if I had to choose one, the chance of that is pretty slim.

Quality over quantity. Yajirobe actually accomplished something.

Well the first time Vegeta worked with the Z-senshi, was on Namek. He was much more useful than Yamcha ever was, but he still wasn't considered a part of their group or even a friend.

Yajirobe accomplished more than Chaozu. If the little guy is a Z Fighter, so is Yajrobe.

Yajirobe wasn't a Z Fighter after the Saiyan saga. Chiaotzu stayed a Z Fighter throughout.

No he didn't. After the Saiyan Saga he just stayed at home, like Yajirobe. He didn't even show up to see the androids, and Yajirobe did. I think the only thing Chiaotzu actually did after the Saiyan Saga was get killed by Buu. I can't even remember which form.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

In the anime he is shown dodging Super Buu's Human Extinction attack and I would assume he died when Kid Buu destroyed Earth. But yeah the only thing he does after the Saiyan saga is fight Guldo in filler, train with Tien, be a background character, and give energy to the super spirit bomb. Yamcha did stick around but like I said he basically just got beat up a bunch and some how fought really well against Olibu in filler.

Vegeta is most likely to betray the Zet-Senshi. He has already proven that by letting Cell transform and by letting Babidi take over his mind (albeit not completely).

I'd say Piccolo comes in second, as he has a past of crimes.

The only time in the story when Piccolo could have realistically betrayed the other Z Fighters was during/immediately after the fight with Raditz. With Goku dead he could have taken over the world, but he knew all too well after being outclassed by Raditz that his domination would be extremely short lived until the Saiyans arrived.

After befriending Gohan and the events on Namek? Extremely unlikely - as if anything, he knew he wouldn't stand a chance against Goku, who would have taken him down upon returning to Earth. But after merging with Kami? Never gonna happen.

They're BOTH Z-warriors, hanging out in Karin's place and breakup with Bulma aside.

Though it would be cool to see Yamcha as a supervillain, and have Goku have one epic final battle with him (no jokes about him dying please...)
But that won't happen, he may be no longer the boyfriend of Goku's rival's wife but he is still loyal to Goku.

Yajirobe would save his own skin for sure I think... Seems the type of thing he would do, he always stayed out of battles because he didn't wanna get himself killed in the past.

Oolong is selfish but I don't think that selfish.... Perhaps though.

If you count Hercule then I don't think he would betray them either. Only on the condition that he knows Videl is on the lookout too he wouldn't want her to die.

If she is not up there then he might betray them.

Maybe Saiyan/namek saga Vegeta would. But I highly doubt android/buu saga Vegeta would. It seems he would rather die than lose his honour. I guess after Frieza died Vegeta started to care about what others thought of him.

Piccolo wouldn't do it thats a given considering his fused with Kami now anyway.

Krillin would betray them all if Buu had titties.

It's comments like this that make me wish you could "like" posts here like on a few other forums.

Even without the fuse, his love for Gohan changed him, and whether Gohan was there or not (Since they believed he was dead) I don't think he would do that to them knowing his new friends were up there and it was Gohan's family, friends and loved ones up there.

Chiaotzu did show up to see Frieza though, he also did train for the Androids and Cell but Tien had to leave him behind. Chiaotzu at least continued his training. Yajirobe only showed up to give the real Z Fighters their sensu beans, after the Saiyan saga he just spent his days with Korin.
