Yamcha not only looked awesome first, but he is genuinely one of the strongest human characters in the entire series. In his first fights with Goku he even clearly has the upper hand. It’s just that the series is also infamous for the rapid power creep and starts rolling in all kinds of non-human monstrosities and alien races that his strength as a mere human is dwarved in comparison.
That’s Yamcha in the hole.
Honestly if you used Yamcha on the 2 Goku panels it would’ve worked better, on account of Yamcha looking awesome as hell at first.
Idk who this Yamcha character is but he sounds disappointing.
He was pretty cool, but then just became a jobber because Dragon Ball is “Power Creep the Series”.

He’s definitely strong, Tien and Krillin just never seemed all that far behind the aliens comparatively.
