That was me, and I'm terrified by that comment. It sounds like there have been 20-page threads that devolved into name-calling and slagging matches, all over Vegeta's hairline.

SpacePie8 wrote:I agree with the person who said Toriyama paired them up to produce another SSJ character. Vegeta was the most highly used plot device in the series, and this is one example of it. Plus, how long was Vegeta going to stay on earth solely because of his desire to defeat Goku? It'd be harder to keep him on the show's canvas if he's galavanting in the depths of space. Being tied to Bulma(first by her super incredible training equipment and then Trunks) gives him more reason to stick around.

It's funny..as much as Toriyama supposedly disliked Vegeta, you have to know he hated Yamcha even more. Vegeta got The American Dream and Yamcha didn't even have a gf in the very end, and Yamcha actually expressed desire for a family numerous times.

Btw, shame on the person who said Vegeta was balding. You should know better than to start a dumbshit arguement of that magnitude.
Nah, I think Toriyama still disliked Vegeta (his own character, but whatever), but Yamcha was so easy to abuse that he just wound up being his butt-monkey.

Yamcha was the most highly used plot device in the series. He was practically the series' representative Worf. He doesn't have any substantial wins because he's always lost to big up someone else. The previous "villain", he was easily defeated by "Jackie Chun" at the 21st TB to hype both him and Gokuu (who would fight him in the final), as well as give the two an emotional subplot. At the 22nd TB, new kid on the block Tenshinhan deflects Yamcha, who'd been training for 3 years under the guy that'd previously floored him at the last tournament, 's Kamehameha and then breaks his fucking leg, hyping up Tenshinhan and Gokuu (who, again, would fight him in the final), giving the two even more of an emotional subplot, and wrapping up their "rivalry".

Then he has to face God at the 23rd TB and is publicly humiliated by what initially looked like nothing more than a buffoon, so I can't blame Yamcha for having qualms with how God wanted to "teach him a lesson". Then Yamcha's the first to die against the Saiyans, even before the weakest of the lot, Chaozu - but he doesn't even face the Saiyans; it's against a measly Saibaimen who he actually defeated, but then self-destructs, killing them both. All to hype up Kuririn's new strength and their (overlooked) relationship, who then kills the rest of the Saibaimen.

He later gets his girlfriend stolen (you know what I mean) by the narcissistic dickbutt responsible for his death, whose Super Saiyan son goes on to save the future. And while horny Kuririn gets to start a happy family with smoking hot Android #18 (who Yamcha is scared shitless by, since he doesn't even have the balls to stand close to her while insulting her), Yamcha, who actually expressed a desire for a family...doesn't get shit. He's never even shown with a girlfriend.

And then...he gets his ki drained by Android #20, who subsequently puts his hand through his stomach. It just happened to him, didn't it? And then, apart from Gokuu (who's bedridden from his heart virus) and Gohan (who cares, he's fucking golden boy Gohan and later kills the main villain of this arc), he's the only one to sit out the fight with the Androids. But then, I guess, he'd just get knocked unconscious with the others. Oh, and Toriyama took care to detail the fact that Yamcha got his arm broken by his Cell Junior, but apparently no-one else got their limbs broken by their Cell Junior.

He's, like, the one character that doesn't get a happy ending. I mean, Gokuu returns to life and gets Super Saiyan 3. Gohan becomes a scholar like he always wanted and starts a happy family with the attractive Videl, who is Vegeta resolves his petty rivalry with Gokuu and has two children with Blooma. Piccolo reunites with his other half and lives up at God's Palace with Dende, Nail's "brother" (and Nail's inside Piccolo). Future Trunks receives approval from his father and restores peace to his time. Kuririn starts a happy family with Android #18. Tenshinhan and Chaozu are pretty content continuing to buttfuck each other in the mountains. Mr. Satan is self-explanatory. But Yamcha? Nothing. No girlfriend at all. Instead, he's continuously matched up with far stronger opponents who easily defeat him and is repeatedly accused of cheating by a promiscuous bitch who later starts a happy family with his murderer.

Just read this: http://www.thedragonballblog.blogspot.c ... tenka.html

EDIT: Actually, about the happy ending bit. I think I've already mentioned my fan theory that, after being dumped by Blooma, Yamcha began an affair with the equally lonely Chi-Chi. So, in my mind, he did get a happy ending after all. :P

You're a sick man, do you want to destroy the natural order? I think she should go with Piccolo or Vegeta (she even hit on him during the BT3 commentaries), Yamcha already got pussy.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

Piccolo's asexual, and why should Vegeta get any more pussy? Besides, I doubt he's the kind of guy to cheat. Blooma was nothing more than a one-night stand that developed into a full-blown relationship after Trunks was born. Chi-Chi ain't getting no dick, and Yamcha's been manipulated like a bitch by Blooma for too long.

Bulma should marry herself, Yamcha should give Bulma the finger and go off on a bitch tirade like TFS Kuririn then turn presumaly gay like Tenshinhan and get some literal pussy from Puar, Vegeta has to surpass Goku at something, and Piccolo would come around...eventually just like how he did with Gohan.

Man, fuck the natural order! 8)

And yeah, Yamcha shouldn't have let himself be such a doormat. Blooma's mother said that he was getting a lot of (unwanted) female attention in high school, so he should've dumped the promiscuous bitch and just gotten with one of them. Even if he was out of high school by the time he realized that, a guy like him could easily form a relationship with a nice girl and just settle down with her. I found it both sad and amusing after Gokuu told Blooma to "look after the baby" before he left, and then Yamcha said something like, "Haha, Gokuu's so sentimental! I guess what he's trying to say is that we should stop putting it off and create a happy family!"

And I genuinely believe that Tenshinhan isn't gay (probably asexual or just a heterosexual who doesn't have time in his rigid training schedule for relationships and likely doesn't want to divide his love between more than just Chaozu), since his relationship with Chaozu is more like a brotherly one. And the whole point of the rivalry between Gokuu and Vegeta was that it was very one-sided, skewed on the latter's half. Vegeta can't permanently surpass Gokuu at something, because he's so fucking uptight. And some would say Blooma's hotter than Chi-Chi anyway.

Piccolo can't just magically cook up another race (Earthling)'s sexuality for himself, let alone a functioning penis. Sure, he can cry and he can platonically love other people, but I don't think he actually has the capability for romantic love, let alone sexual attraction. And how is Chi-Chi going to be attracted to Piccolo, a Namekian who previously kidnapped her son and almost killed her husband that she'd loved since she was 12, just because of what she'll probably perceive as her son and her demonic captor's Stockholm/Lima Syndrome relationship?

Dude, what is with you and Yamcha/Chichi? When they first met, he knocked her out and later, she told him he looked ugly because he had a chipped-tooth XD XD

Anyway, I dont think Yamcha would stoop so low as to cheat on his lifelong friend's wife (Even though he's dead, because in Dragon Ball, "death has no real consequence because you can be brought back to life), considering since his own girlfriend for 10+ plus years cheated on him with the arrogant, short, spikey-haired ass-stain that had his giant friend plant green freaks to blow him up. If anything, that pairing would basically prove all Yamcha-bashers right about him being a cheating a-hole. But again, you can ship whoever you want and I dont judge you. Just wanted to make my point about it. Besides, maybe he did have a happy ending (he did mention something about a girlfriend...), it's just wasnt shown. I'll make up something about that later, though....

Yamcha/Chi-Chi definitely takes the cake for craziest fan theory I've heard, and I think a standing ovation is in order.

Really? That's the craziest fan theory you've heard? That's actually pretty damned tame (and at least has several moments of precedent as a jumping point within the series itself).
Do you follow the most comprehensive and entertaining Dragon Ball analysis series on YouTube? If you do, you're smart and awesome and fairly attractive. If not, see what all the fuss is about without even having to leave Kanzenshuu:

I'm not really seeing any precedent at all, and that is what makes it so utterly crazy. There are plenty of other crazy fan theories, but at least they usually have some basis other than blatant wish fulfilment.

Chichi has more screen time and lines of dialogue with Yamucha than she does with most other characters in the series. And they keep getting paired up by the story. In the first arc, he pretends to be in love with her. In the Cell arc, he spends a lot of time alone with her. And then in the Boo arc, they're sitting together on the way to the tournament, and she's the only one interested in whether or not he's competing.

Yes, it's a big joke, existing solely for gits and shiggles (certainly don't see any wish fulfillment in it), but there's certainly enough precedent there to see why it exists.

Shipping Goggles do not make for much precedent at all.

Yeah... it's certainly much, much more than we ever saw between Blooma and Vegeta before they got together, yet, for some inane reason, people are on board with it.

And, come on, it's a joke. Don't think about it too hard.
Do you follow the most comprehensive and entertaining Dragon Ball analysis series on YouTube? If you do, you're smart and awesome and fairly attractive. If not, see what all the fuss is about without even having to leave Kanzenshuu:

Bulma/Vegeta makes sense in hindsight, and everything considered it makes a hell of a lot more sense than Chi-Chi/Yamcha - to even consider it you'd have to assume Chi-Chi would be unfaithful without her giving any indication of ever being so, which I think is quite an unfair assumption to make about her character.

And to be honest Daimao doesn't sound like he's joking when he brings it up, although I could just have trouble seeing that because of all the shippers I've encountered elsewhere.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Yamcha/Chichi could make just as much sense in hindsight. And they both kinda been unlucky in a sense when it comes to love. Though the affair bit is harder to accept. If it's supposed to happen during the 7 years where Goku is dead, then that's not infidelity.
