Great character in Dragon Ball and early Z. Unfortunately after the Saiyan arc he basically became a nobody who made a cameo every couple of hundred chapters. Would've liked to see him become more of a main character.

I like him. He pretty much gives like zero fucks the whole series and is actually pretty strong to the point where it's comical. You have Gokuu and Tenshinhan, both skilled martial artists who trained their whole lives and are fighting geniuses. Then Yajirobe comes and is of equal strength to them.

Oh, and his sword is cool too. Gotta love Katanas.

Listen, people give him shit for being himself, but how many people out there nowadays don't care about what people think? This guy is awesome, and uber confident, props.
And he's a skillful swordsman. He reminded me of the guy who ran around like a charging samurai in the movie with the blind swordsman.
That time your teacher asked you to draw Cell in biology class.
This man is my hero:
To be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less about the fans a re-issue might alienate because if all they're concerned about is being able to scalp the people who were either unaware of the Dragon Boxes or couldn't afford them at the time, they're just leeches and deserve to have their greed backfire on them.

Maybe he's Gokuu's cousin, on the mother's side of course since his hair is similar to Radditz's. :P

OH SNAP. You are right!! A third cousin perhaps!? :lol:

Hahaha. Love the responses.

Perhaps maybe he is Goku's cousin, except he never grew taller, found Ninja Murasaki's sword in the Northern Mountains right after Murasaki died and then kept eating his own tail until it stopped growing.
