Yamcha

He is a former boyfriend of Bulma and the lifelong best friend of Puar.

A former desert bandit, Yamcha was once an enemy of Goku, but quickly reformed and became a friend and ally.[14] Brave, boastful and dependable, Yamcha is a very talented martial artist and one of the most powerful humans on Earth, possessing skills and traits that allow him to fight alongside his fellow Z Fighters when major threats loom. Although he is eventually retired due to being largely outclassed by both his allies (namely the Saiyans) and their enemies, he is always present whenever a new threat approaches, and will occasionally lend a helping hand, thus proving himself to be a powerful ally in his own right.

Appearance: Yamcha is a handsome man with long hair, bangs, and long sideburns. He has a "x" shaped scar on his left cheek. Yamcha's outfit is a white martial arts outfit with gray trousers.

Personality: Yamcha is originally characterized as a deadly warrior, who fears nothing but talking to women. After befriending Goku and the others, his personality remains mostly the same, but becomes very caring and considerate of the people he protects. He is showcased as a courageous warrior who strives to be the best, but is unable to reach this status.

Yamcha is a huge fan of the World Martial Arts Tournament and has always wanted to compete and someday win.[24] It is likely this is why he has knowledge of famous fighters like Grandpa Gohan, Monster Carrot, Bacterian and King Chappa. Whenever the tournament date neared, Yamcha would always go through vigorous training and invent a new technique like the Blinding Wolf Fang Fist, Neo Wolf Fang Fist and the Spirit Ball. He is the second fighter to learn the Kamehameha.

He shows great pride in defending Earth from the Saiyans, willing to put his life on the line to stop them, which he evidently does. Although he is killed, he dies a hero's death. After returning from the dead, he prepares to battle the Androids.

Yamcha had a fear of women and tended to get terrified at the sight and touch of a woman, although he seemingly got over this after meeting Bulma when they were 16. They have an on-and-off again relationship for several years and despite her supposed mistreatment towards him, he still loved her. However, while the specifics are unknown, Bulma felt Yamcha was interested in other women. During the three years prior to the Androids' arrival, he and Bulma break up for good (though they remain friends) and she ends up with Vegeta, which frustrated him, especially at Vegeta for fathering her son, Trunks. His resentment towards Vegeta is apparent in the Androids and Cell Games Saga, as he speaks bitterly that he is not Trunks' father and mocked Vegeta for being beaten by Cell. However, after seeing Vegeta's emotional reaction to Future Trunks' death, Yamcha forgave him and is later seen being friendly with Vegeta. Yamcha is also on good terms with Trunks and tells Future Trunks that his father really loved him.[25] After being nearly killed by Dr. Gero, he takes more of a comical approach and becomes largely outmatched in battle due to the ever-growing power of the enemies the Z Fighters face. It appears whatever passion and resolve for fighting he had disappeared with the emergence of the Super Saiyans, who severely outclass him in fighting ability, and he eventually comes to accept this. After realizing that his enemies severely overpower him, unlike Tien, who wishes to fight despite the odds, Yamcha accepts that his contribution would be futile, and instead opts to stand aside and keep watch, instead of engaging in combat. Despite this fact, he remains a trusted ally and will fight on occasion when needed.

It is later revealed Yamcha actually has grown stronger and has been training. However, he uses his strength for baseball rather than fighting at this time.

Yamcha expressed a strong desire to get married, which was the reason why he wanted to cure his gynophobia (fear of women, not to be confused with misogyny, the hatred of women). He also expressed excitement at the thought of starting a family.

Bitter breakup and her marriage to Vegeta notwithstanding, Yamcha and Bulma still love each other dearly as childhood friends, enough so that the latter unhesitatingly wept in the former's arms as he comforted her at the news of Vegeta's death battling Buu. By the time of Dragon Ball Super, Bulma clearly still considers her ex an important part of her life to invite him to every one of her frequent celebrations, and happily lets him hold baby Bulla (though Vegeta was "less than amused" when the lovable oaf inadvertently made her cry).

Puar is a shape-shifting, talking, cat and is Yamcha's lifelong best friend.

Abilities: Flight - The ability to fly without the use of ki.

Kamehameha – A powerful Ki blast fired with two hands after concentrating a large amount of Ki.

Wolf Fang Fist – Yamcha typically does a combo of clawing and punching, then finishing with a double palm strike to launch his opponent away. His hand and finger movements may be intended to mimic the biting of a wolf.

Blinding Wolf Fang Fist – First, Yamcha charges at the opponent and kicks them away. Then, he charges his energy into a powerful Wolf Fang Fist with a hand movement similar to when firing a Kamehameha. Finally, Yamcha charges at the opponent and strikes them with the Wolf Fang Fist. The opponent lies on the floor defeated as Yamcha looks back and shows a grin.

Neo Wolf Fang Fist – With more control of his ki, Yamcha can increase the power of his physical attacks, landing devastating blows on his opponent in rapid succession that can leave his victims battered and bruised.

Ultimate Wolf Fang Fist - Yamcha dashes forward with a wolf aura, and upon connecting will perform a rapid series of palm strikes to assault his foe before a dual claw-ripping slash he finishes with a wall bouncing-twin-palm-strike.

Wolf Hurricane - Yamcha begins this technique by jumping above the opponent, he then falls on the opponent with his foot. Next, he delivers one punch at the opponent, jumps backwards, then springs forward with another kick. Finally, the technique is ended with one major claw across the opponents body, causing major damage.

Tiger Jackhammer Fist - It is a series of punches used repeatedly before finishing with a kick, sending the opponent away.

Multiple Kamehameha - Two or more fighters fire multiple Kamehamehas (one per fighter) simultaneously at a single point.

Team Work Kamehameha - Yamcha and Krillin fire their Kamehamehas simultaneously to cause great damage to the enemy.

Kamehame Fever - When they use it, Krillin, Yamcha, and Goku each charge their own Kamehameha attacks. Then, they fire them at the same time from three different places to cause great damage to the enemy.

Spirit Ball – The Spirit Ball is formed by making an upwards facing open palm and placing the other hand around the adjacent arm for support. The user then gathers surrounding energy into the open palm and shapes the energy into a yellow-orange sphere. After forming the Spirit Ball, the user controls and guides it by pointing the index and middle fingers in the desired direction. When initially guided, the attack utilizes kinetic energy to deal damage, striking the enemy multiple times from range. On its last strike, the Spirit Ball is triggered to explode on impact, further damaging the enemy.

Super Spirit Ball – Yamcha puts his right hand out with the palm facing the sky, then with his left hand, he grabs and holds his right wrist. Concentrating a massive amount of ki in his outstretched hand, Yamcha can create a huge, yellow hovering ball as large as his entire body which he controls with his index and middle finger, launching it at them hitting them several times before exploding. Yamcha can even manipulate this into firing a beam.

Ki Blast Thrust - The user focuses their ki into their fist and charges toward the opponent with an ki-enhanced punch which can cancel out weak Ki Blasts as they charge toward the opponent.

Wolf Fang Blast – Yamcha uppercuts his opponent up in the air, then he flies up and knock them down to the ground again. Yamcha then fires a barrage of ki blasts on the opponent, only to finish the attack with a large ball of ki.

Heel Crash - A technique where Yamcha backflips into the air and smashes his heel into the ground creating a shockwave that travels across the ground.

Fake Death - Yamcha collapses to the ground in a pose identical to the death pose he took after he was killed by the Saibaman Bomb, to deceive the opponent that he has been knocked out or killed. If the opponent is close enough Yamcha can then launch a counterattack where he pushes himself off the ground with his hands to launch a surprise kick attack with both feet.
