Reluctantly, I have decided to close my blog. I have unwittingly found myself in an uncomfortable situation that I could very well have overcome, but it has made me think more about the kind of society I am living in and so here I am with my final choice. I never wanted to talk about this on a page dedicated to Yamcha, but the situation evidently calls for it and so I have to say my piece before saying goodbye. I will certainly have made my errors of judgment, some things I surely took lightly and for that I apologize, but I personally believe there is nothing worse than human superficiality. Of course, in some ways I too have been shallow in making poorly reasoned choices, but now I understand and I will avoid making the same mistake in my future. However, this does not motivate me to stay here. The problem is broader than you think, because indirectly I have been labeled as the person I am not, and I just don't like that. I don't like being in a place where there is no dialogue, where everything is taken for granted and especially where at the slightest mistake you are automatically a shitty person. I have only recently noticed that someone have been talking about me through the grapevine, and believe me, if I had been more careful, I would have fixed things much sooner. However, this does not change the substance. There is nothing more sad in judging a person by appearances. This is just cowardice, because if you really want a better and cleaner world, the first thing you have to do is not to erase the problem, but to solve it. You can't go anywhere without confrontation, and I'm really sorry that you decided on the most useless path of all, because I believed so much that all of us together could create something beautiful and positive, but evidently I was wrong. I believe that today incommunicability is the most terrible plague of all, and unfortunately it is a problem that persists not only here on tumbrl, but in the world in general. It is now easier to cancel than to improve, and this attitude is not so different from the one you so criticize. I would have loved to talk about it for a better ending, but that's the way it went, and in a way I thank you, because now I realize not only that I need to be more careful about how I talk, but more importantly that I need really human people by my side, and not fake champions of humanity. I am really tired. I am not the type to give up on things, I am very stubborn and inside of me I would like to stay to continue my/our mission, but I am really disappointed and this unfortunately affects my inspiration.

Ironically, an analysis I would have liked to make was precisely on the main problem that haunts Yamcha: superficiality. Now I don't want to compare the two situations, but I think it's a perfect example of how it really only takes nothing to screw everything up.

I would have liked to talk about the moment when Yamcha dies against the Saibaman. It is the most fatal moment of all, because from there on his reputation changes and unfortunately he will never be the same in the eyes of many. Oh, by the way: he has always been great to me, there was no need to point that out just to find one more excuse to get me out of the way. Anyway, what I want to say is that Yamcha died because of a simple error of judgment that then compromised his entire existence. Never mind that he was Goku's first rival, the first to cut off his tail, never mind that he was the second to learn kamehameha, the heart's savior, the one who always took care of everyone, before and after his death. None of this matters. People only care that during that fight he was "stupid, cocky, careless and ridiculous". They are so focused on that shit that they didn't even realize that actually Yamcha was smart and cunning, but most of all loyal and valiant, because he actually understood the dangerousness of the saibaman and wanted to protect at all costs his friend Krillin who had already died once. In short, Yamcha had all the best intentions, but he was not understood. Surely he should have been more careful, but he is human and humans also exist to make mistakes. The important thing is not to fall into the same mistake again and to improve when you are wrong. Currently I feel exactly like Yamcha. I really did my best for him and for anyone who wanted to give him a chance. I've written a lot, I've spent my time writing about him, since he can't be talked about enough, and instead of getting support from those who love him, I've been blocked because, in a way, I underestimated a situation. It hurts me tremendously to realize that all my work has been screwed up because of one thing for which I apoligize again. I also felt connected to Yamcha because of that. This character is really valuable and I wanted to do everything to make him stand out, but in the end the saibaman won and what is left is just Yamcha dead on the crater. The rest doesn't matter. He can work his ass off all he wants, he will always remain scum.

I was here to change this idea that many people have about him, but I can't go on knowing that a Yamcha fan had the same attitude with me. We could have talked about it and finally we could have even collaborated, but you preferred to latch onto my mistake and ignore all the good I tried to do in this month for him. Because, I remind you, we had a common purpose: to help Yamcha and all those who feel like him. Well, I have now felt like him and as much as I know I have support, I can't stay. I can't accept this situation and unfortunately this is a limitation of mine. So I'll leave you in other hands, because if there's one positive thing I've noticed, it's that Yamcha's fans exist and can always increase. I apologize to everyone who has followed me with pleasure, because you are wonderful people, but I have to say goodbye. Your support has been the best part of this experience and I swear I will never forget it.

At the end of the story, always remember to love earthlings and Yamcha. Remember to defend him when during a conversation among friends someone will say that he is poor and useless, because it is like defending yourself against the injustices of life. Just as I am doing now. Remember what he did for Goku during his illness, for Trunks and Vegeta, for Bulma, Krillin, Tien and us. Remember how much his kindness lent a touch of humanity to Dragon Ball, and remember above all that even when he lies in that humiliating crater, Yamcha does not stop being a great character.

Thank you for everything. I will keep the blog active only for my analysis. I wrote them from the heart and don't want them to go into oblivion. They could help anyone. Goodbye.

Yamcha was definitely the wildest of them all, and I regret that he was tamed by so many things along the way. He went from being a fierce wolf to a little dog, but that is not completely a problem. It actually adds to the mystery of this warrior who looks like a jerk but actually hides something extremely beastly.

I have been waiting for years for this wild spirit to awaken in him, and I will wait again. In DBS Yamcha already has long hair.... All that is missing is the revelation. 🐺🌕

I know Lunch is referring to Tien here, but it's all the same! I just think Yamcha should take an example from his friend and take off his shirts more often...😹

I love their friendship

❣️Goku recognizing Yamcha by his long hair is confirmation that Yamcha needs to always have long hair to be completely himself. It is so pure this scene... When their brotherhood was so obvious.🫂

I love their friendship

🌴🍹🌊Today's thoughts are only on these vibes.

🔔I'll take this opportunity to say that I'm going to take a little break from my own analysis, even though my drafts are full of them... I just need to find the right time and inspiration to finish them.

❓However, if you guys have questions, you can ask me as many as you want about Yamcha and Dragon Ball in general! This blog is dedicated to Yamcha, I know, but if you have any curiosity about the other earthlings or any other character or arc, I will be happy to answer. You can also do it anonymously, but don't be shy!

🫂It might be an excuse to bring up new topics. Yeah, it's like going back to square one, but gathering as many ideas as possible can be helpful and motivating.

This is definitely one of my greatest satisfactions. To have helped you reevaluate this Yamcha makes me extremely proud. Because seriously, he deserves this and so much more. I'm glad that you can now see him in a better perspective. In this arc, Yamcha is wonderful. I myself have recently realized this. Even I am realizing that this is probably the moment when he fully reveals himself. Better late than never! Your drawing, as usual, is wonderful. I've always found the hole he has on the Gi fascinating and I'm glad you drew it. I love that you can see his scar on his eye so well! This hair is as controversial as it is intriguing. And that line… I think it perfectly captures the essence of Yamcha! Especially in this arc, where we've seen him help literally anyone…. Except himself. But we love him for that, too. ♥

Yamcha's spiky hair in the Androids Saga was always one of my least favorite designs for him. I can't come up with an idea as to why.

These past few days, however, it has grown on me. Definitely up on the top 5 favorites now. Pretty simple to draw, and leaves space for the scar on his right eye to shine. Just gotta watch out for how far the hairline goes, lol.

Thanks to @yamcha-thelonewolf for, once again, inspiring a drawing through this post!

✨...I cannot explain how happy I am about this. I don't think I have the right words to thank you, I feel really helpless right now. I decided to start this blog because I felt Yamcha needed support and someone more to talk about it. I always say this... The more the merrier! But lately it is happening more than I had imagined. Your support is invaluable, guys. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know where to turn my thoughts. @lhck999, you have given me a wonderful gift. Not only did you read and appreciate my topic, but you even made a drawing showing this sweet moment. I am really touched... It's like a screenwriter and a director coming together and creating a wonderful movie. I like this kind of collaboration. I like to inspire you, friends, and I like that all of you inspire me. The drawing is beautiful. It is exactly as I imagined it. Yamcha holding his dress on his arm like a towel and Lunch pointing her little finger like a loving mommy. I will always keep him in my heart.❣️

🫂Toriyama forgets, Yamcha doesn't!

This time I want us to relax a little bit. My last analysis, The Heart's Savior, was very challenging both for me who wrote it and for you who read it, so now it is only fair to lighten the load.

In a poll, I asked you whether you would prefer to know more about Yamcha's life as a fighter or as an ordinary earthling, and if you remember, the second choice won. So here I am analyzing a little trivia that has nothing to do with battles. Well... Sort of! Martial arts still has something to do with it, but it only serves as a background. In fact, I will tell you about an extremely strong friendship, not because the bond is actually intense but because it goes against the narrative choices of Toriyama and Toei Animation. Believe me, guys, this analysis could maintain the connection with a character we hear little about now. Lastly, just because I know it's a kind of topic that many people like, I'm going to talk somewhat about one of Yamcha's many looks.

Let's be clear, this is just my theory, it's quite silly, but at least it might make you smile a little... Well, I hope so!

Before we begin, it seems only fair to warn that the following is likely to be coincidental. Dragon Ball has never dwelled on details, at least not the ones I care about, so it is highly likely that this topic is meaningless. But... What if it doesn't? Assuming Yamcha has a life of his own in this show, talking about it might be worthwhile... Because it would once again show what a beautiful person he is in everyday life.

So... Let's get started!

Don't worry, I told you. I am not going to talk about Yamcha as a fighter, but as I had anticipated it is necessary to understand how incredible he is as a normal earthling.

We are at the end of the Fortuneteller Baba Arc. Goku has finally found out where the last dragon ball is and so sets off with Upa to resurrect his father Bora. Meanwhile, Yamcha and the others await their friend's return at Baba's palace. It is during this wait that Yamcha reflects at length on his own life and he finally decides to ask Muten to make him his pupil.

A new orange Gi is definitely needed!

Freeze! It is not the Turtle School uniform that I want to talk about. Let's go back for a moment... A few hours before the 22nd Tournament begins.

Alright! We've got it!

We are on the plane bound for Papaya Island. Bruce Lee Yamcha has completed his training under Muten, and with this proud pretty face he lets us know that we are going to see some good things. He also seems more mature. He is in his 20s. Guys, many things could be said about this drawing, but in this case I will simply dwell on his outfit. This is the first time we have seen Yamcha in such an elegant look. We were used to seeing him in martial artist outfits or otherwise with looks more suited to his wild nature, so this is a very nice surprise. For a change, he looks great. I mean, you can dress and style him any way you like: Yamcha has the incredible power to be charming in any way. Yes, even with that bowl hair from DBZ...

Jeez, I love him. Let's go back to our outfit now.

Some will remember it for sure, but for those who do not know I want to let you show that this dress has its own origin.

One more step back now.

We are in the 21st Tournament Arc. Yamcha is in town with Bulma and he's training on his own. Muten's only pupils are Goku and Krillin. Many people do not pay attention to it, but if these two boys managed to get into the Turtle School it is because of a character who unfortunately met a brutal end in the show: Lunch.

The deal is clear: If Goku and Krillin can find a nice girl to stay at the Kame House, then Muten can train them. It is the only way to access. So we can safely say that if Goku has become so strong, it is also thanks to Lunch. Fortunately, she is found in her quiet form, but soon her secret would come out...

...Whatever! Goku and Krillin can finally train under Muten. Well, there really would be so much to say about Lunch. She is a character who deserves a lot. She should not have disappeared at all after the great contribution she made to Goku and Krillin. Not only that. She even defeated some Red Ribbon soldiers, she helped Yamcha defeat some criminals because he had a broken leg, in a filler she saves Goku from an attempted "kidnapping," and among many other things she allowed to find front row seats during tournaments! Seriously, she would deserve a separate post.

If we look at Lunch as a function of the protagonist, it is undeniable that she was the mother Goku never had. At least in her good personality.

The same of course applies to Krillin. Let's think it through. She cooked for them, cuddled them before bed, and who knows how many other mother hen things she did. Goku definitely lacked such a figure, so this is also why I consider Lunch an important character in his growth. If Bulma is more like an older sister, Lunch is definitely his mommy. Have you noticed that? Every person Goku meets represents a family member. It's extremely cute.

Be that as it may, as proof that Lunch is a real mom to the two pupils, she decides to give them a nice gift at the end of their training.

Tadaaan! Okay, I admit that Goku and Krillin are really funny dressed like this. They look like two little gangsters, something like Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro as kids, but that's okay. Lunch sewed these outfits for them, and that's what matters. It was done with love.

Seeing her satisfied like a loving mommy getting excited for her kids going to school for the first time always moved me. Although in this case the destination is the tournament, the meaning is the same: Lunch gave importance to their big day by honoring it with this outfit as awkward as adorable.

Well, friends. Now that the puzzle is almost complete, we can go back to our boy! As I said at the beginning, Yamcha begs Muten to make him his third pupil. Once inside the school, it doesn't take long to realize that for all of his three years of training he has been dealing with Lunch as well.

It should be mentioned, however, that the two had actually met for the first time during the Red Ribbon Arc, when everyone leaves to help Goku.

This is the first real moment when they meet. Lunch is in her "evil" form, but a little later Yamcha will also make the acquaintance of her good side.

This meant that during these three years he also cohabited with Lunch, who must surely have cooked for him as well. I think it's a really interesting detail. Unfortunately, we don't know what has happened during these three years, but I would like to point out that this is the first time Yamcha has dealt so closely with a girl other than Bulma. Imagining that he is still very shy with girls, I have no doubt that he has been embarrassed many times in being so near to her. Stop!, I'm not saying he had feelings for her, but she is still a pretty girl, most of the time very naive as well as sensual, so I wouldn't be surprised if Lunch made Yamcha blush without even meaning to. By the way, it would be interesting to analyze Bulma's feelings in this situation, since she has visited Yamcha several times. I don't think she was ever jealous of Lunch, but she may have punched her boyfriend in the head a few times anyway just because.

...They were so cute...

Okay, now the topic is clear, isn't it? The bond between Yamcha and Lunch is one of the least explored things in Dragon Ball. There is no point in talking about it because it leads nowhere, but believe me, for an earthlings fan it is worth discussing.

First, let's start by saying that this is a different relationship from that she had with the other two pupils. If with Goku and Krillin Lunch was able to act like a caring mother, the same cannot be said for Yamcha. Yamcha is not a child like them. He is almost the same age as Lunch, so the relationship must be absolutely equal: they are two friends. Nothing more, nothing less. This does not mean that Lunch took less care of Yamcha. Surely she must have avoided giving him a good-night kiss and things like that, that is.

As for her second personality, it becomes more complicated. We will never know whether "Bad" Lunch felt attracted to Yamcha. We know she loves wild guys and Yamcha certainly is, but I don't think she was that disloyal to her friend Bulma. In short: I am convinced that there was never any sexual attraction between Lunch and Yamcha. They have always been two great friends, proving that friendship between boys and girls can exist.

So... Maternal or not, one thing is certain: when the big day comes again, Lunch gives her gift to Yamcha too.

I don't know how many of you have thought about this. I'm sure I'm not the first one who has thought about it, but geez... It's a detail that has always excited me for no real reason. Perhaps because it is one of those details that indirectly deepens the relationships between Dragon Ball characters, which are unfortunately poorly told.

I mean, try to think of the scene!

Yamcha at that time was not really the type of guy to wear stuff like that. He has lived for many years in the desert, where it is not necessary to wear fancy clothes because the only priority is to survive. Yet in the desert, we don't know how, he also learned good manners, especially with girls. I'm sure he did everything possible not to disappoint Lunch's expectations. Yamcha has always been like that. In order to please others he has often sacrificed himself, so I think something like that happened in this case as well. Let's try to put ourselves in his shoes. He may be gentle and all, he surely must have thanked Lunch for this, but how much he must have cringed wearing this?

It is a bit like putting a bow tie on a wild wolf...

This is precisely how I imagine him: deeply embarrassed and on the verge of sinking underground. "Boy, I feel so ridiculous!"

Don't worry, silly, it actually fits you much better than you think. I don't believe anyone found him as funny as Goku and Krillin were the first time they wore that thing. Anyway, I assume that this is why we don't see himwith that Al Capone hat. "Hell, I can accept the dress... but spare me that thing!!"

Here you can see Yamcha now comfortable in his elegant look and Lunch by his side totally unaware that she was the one who sewed it for him. By the way, I think it's superficial to say this but... It's really nice that she handmade this dress for Yamcha. I mean, his body is much bigger than Goku and Krillin's. She must have struggled a lot! It's a proof to how much she loved Yamcha, too.

Come on, look at her! Here Lunch is as worried as everyone about Yamcha's condition after Tenshinhan broke his leg. The way she addresses him does indeed have something maternal about it, but it mainly shows that she has become attached to him over those three years.

She is so precious...

...even when she is about to kill Yamcha and Bulma in one shot.

Gosh, I love her! It is so nice that everyone has learned to accept Lunch as she is. Yamcha is like that. He always accepted his friends, no matter how they are, he is always there for them and always took care of them. I am convinced that he loved Lunch as he loves everyone else.

So... the topic could end here, but it is not like me to conclude so trivially. I like to go beyond the impossible, in fact even this time I want to extend the whole situation.

The real point of the topic is another.

Unfortunately, Lunch's fate is the most horrible of all. In truth, I don't know which is worse between being forgotten and being ridiculed throughout the show. Let's just say that neither Lunch nor Yamcha were lucky. They also have that in common, besides the fact that both are very close to Tien. I would call it the trio of outcasts. However, if we at least know what happens to Yamcha during DBZ, we know nothing about Lunch. The last time we see her is in a bar, completely drunk because Tien is dead. Another appearance, which is really brief, is during the Buu Saga, when she gives her energy to Goku. I consider these two scenes to be frighteningly sad because in both cases we see her alone and that hurts me a lot. It is as if she has lost contact with her friends. After all, she could not even return to the Kame House because it was now inhabited by Krillin, Android 18 and their daughter. There was no place for her anymore. This hurt even more, because we really don't know what happened to her. Finally, she appears without ever saying anything in the OVA Dragon Ball: Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!

This is quite consoling, but it is not enough. Her presence is highly unnecessary. I think she was thrown into the rabble just to actually pay homage to those who were Goku's friends, but what's the point if she doesn't even say a word? She certainly deserved more since she had been forgotten for almost two decades.

Whatever... Thank goodness Yamcha exists!

He is seriously the hero we do not deserve.

Well yes, Yamcha may be the one who partly solves this great riddle:

...What ever happened to Lunch all this time?

The truth is that there are no answers. Everyone can imagine what they want. One can think that she stayed with Tien (although DBS has ruled out this possibility for the umpteenth time), one can think that she opened a food truck or that she came to visit Muten sometimes. I personally believe that she has not completely lost contact with her friends. At least, not with Yamcha. I mean, we've seen how Yamcha is not the type to quit. When it comes to loving someone, Yamcha is always in the front row. This makes me believe that he has not stopped seeing Lunch. He is too loyal to forget a person who has done so much for him. Plus, if we add that Yamcha was left alone at one point in the story, it makes even more sense that he spends his time with an equally "lonely" friend. I imagine Yamcha as a very nostalgic guy. It would be unthinkable for him to exclude such an important memory as Lunch from his life.

At least, that's how it is for me. Until now I didn't know it for sure, but a few days ago I had an epiphany. That's when I realized that maybe Lunch is still there, we just don't see her.

Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might, 1990.

Did you notice anything?

Oh god yes, it's that damn gangster outfit again. I mean, the dress sewn by Lunch. Although it is difficult to identify the timeline of this film, it is still clear that we are in a context far away from OG Dragon Ball. At first I anticipated that all this might just be a coincidence, but personally I like to believe that there is much more behind it. Assuming that indeed it is the dress made by Lunch, we need to consider one thing: it can never be that one she gave him for the 22nd Tournament. It would be really old, plus I don't think it would be able to hold up Yamcha's new body. He's now in his 30s, he has not only grown taller but also added a lot of muscle mass. It is practically impossible for him to have been able to wear it. So... Maybe Yamcha asked Lunch to renew that old dress? Think about it, it makes sense to me. Yamcha is also very cheap. Being a former thief, he knows the value of money well and knows that it is easier to lose it than to find it. He is really funny, but also very cute.

The money accumulated through baseball certainly does not change his stingy nature, that's why it is not strange to think that he turned to Lunch. Of course, also as a matter of affection. I think Yamcha is a guy who is very attached to things, especially if there are a lot of good memories behind them.

I mean, something could have happened like, "Hi Lunchie, how are you? Long time no see, it took me so long to find you! Let me guess, you're hiding from the cops, right?" and then... "Anyway, I wanted to ask you a favor. Going through my closet, I found that fancy dress you had sewn for me for the Tournament. Do you remember? Here it is. I tried to wear it but I only gained a hole in my pants. I'll let you guess where. So... Could you fix it for your bestie?"... So she would say: "Are you kidding, Yamcha? There's no way I'm going to fix that! I'll definitely sew you a new one!"

If so, we could assume that they are still in contact! It would really comfort me to know that Lunch is still part of the gang, even if we don't see her. Yamcha in this case could seriously be the link, simply because he is brought up to be.

That would be great.

I want to believe it.

After all...

...Toriyama may forget his characters, but Yamcha will never forget his friends.

Thank you!!

💐I would have liked to see a few more episodes about these girls chasing Yamcha all over West City.

Hahaha! Yamcha has a fanclub!! I can see why. He’s super handsome, strong and confident, seems like a really cute and shy guy, and probably treats everyone pretty well at school.

Bulma is so jealous! So THAT’S why she gets herself a weird-looking guy that NO ONE fawns over and never leaves the house except to fight with other dudes!

What a beautiful thought. This is definitely one of Yamcha's most controversial looks along with the previous one.

I personally like both of them, but I must say you are right: if this one I mentioned is a hair style that fits Yamcha, there is obviously something strange about the look of the Androids saga. It's the one I feel most "distant" from him ever. But as you said, it may be Yamcha's most symbolic look. In this timeline, Yamcha is hurt and disappointed. Suddenly he has had to accept that he has lost Bulma, that he can no longer marry her, that he is not the father of her child, and finally that he has left her in the hands of the one who killed him years before. That's too much beating. In real life they could have given life to a criminal, but Yamcha is too good and pure to fall so low. However, this does not take away from the fact that he suffered less just because he agreed to stay anyway.

We do not know how Yamcha vented all this anger, because he must have had so much of it. Maybe he smashed a few mountains, drank a little too much, started a few pub fights and things like that, or just picked up a scissors and cut it out.

Cutting hair is the most immediate expression to force a change, and I am convinced that this haircut is the most revolutionary of all.

What we see, you said it yourself, is not Yamcha. It's not like him to have this very short hair. All the previous times, even if he cut it, there was always something representing him. Sometimes he would put a white or red headband, sometimes he would just have that fringe covering his forehead. Think about it, this is the first time we see Yamcha's face completely. His forehead is totally uncovered, no strands are covering his cheeks and things like that.

As a result, the details of his face are much more noticeable.

I don't know, it almost seems as if he wants to say:

"Look at me, you bastards, this is my face. I have two fucking scars, I've lost everything and I'm not ashamed to show it."

Assuming that Yamcha is himself when he has long hair, by logic we can believe that with this hair, which is the exact opposite, it may be that he no longer knows who he is. We could also assume that it is a kind of restart. As if by revealing his face for the first time he is able to take a better look at himself to understand who he becomes from now on. It is definitely a chaotic, messy, confusing haircut, not clear where it wants to go. He literally massacred his hair, just as he was massacred. I personally don't think it's meant to be an imitation of Vegeta. It could be, of course, but I am more of the idea that it is a way of expressing Yamcha's anger. His hair looks like thorns; he appears like a cactus that you must not touch. Even though we know that he is actually a teddy bear, he looks almost menacing with this look. It may be weird to say, but I like this. It makes him tremendously badass. The fact that his scars are much more noticeable may be a metaphor for his obvious pain. Yamcha now is fully wounded. He is a lone wolf who has just come out of a fight against a pack of wolves. He was hurt and it shows, but he survived. I am not joking when I say that for me it is Yamcha's most attractive look. Of course I am partial to his style in Saiyan Saga, but I have to admit that in Androids Saga he has something extremely eye-catching. I mean, I find him sexually attractive, more so than with long hair (and believe me, Yamcha with long hair is my favorite). I feel like he turned a lot of girls' heads during this period just because he looked "handsome and damned." There is something dark in him, and you know, that attracts. I don't know, he kind of looks like a ferocious shark or otherwise a character who has been through a lot and just needs to find his lost peace. He even has a hole on the Gi. Everything is in tatters, his soul has been pierced, he looks like a soldier who has lost his war and needs to go home. Kind of like Rambo…

Here, like this. I love Gill from Finding Nemo. He's a character who suffers but after all he has a good heart. Just like Yamcha right now. You look at him and think he's a piece of shit, and instead he's just a puppy who needs to not feel lonely and failed. Who needs a new chance.

This song sums up everything I think. There is anger, disappointment, failure, maybe a little bit of resentment, but it also takes care to emphasize that Yamcha will never let all this pain get him down. Somehow he will move on and maybe one day he even be able to accept himself again…. By growing his long hair back.

Spoiler: he will.

Is it just me who just doesn't vibe with Yamcha's Androids Saga haircut?

I'm talking about this spiky topped one here. It's not because I'm a long hair Yamcha purist or something, in fact I really enjoy a lot of his other cuts, both long and short, but this one just... doesn't feel like him you know, it's such a drastic contrast from many of his other looks.

Though given the point in the timeline this style debuts- the final nail in his breakup with Bulma, her affair with Vegeta and the resultant Trunks- there's a bit of sad clarity. It's clearly not himself because it's his drastic impulsive depression cut. And it stings doubly when you notice that the style of spiky and upright- it's practically a little attempted bootleg of Vegeta's hair.
