Who's the most USELESS Character in Dragon Ball?

[@Hi_Just_Fred]

No wonder they chose to use Chiaotzu as the twist villain for that one Yamcha gag manga. Bro literally barely exists in the story and is only known for taking Ls.

[@solgerWhyIsThereAnAtItLooksBad]

And his entire thing is that he tried being evil because he was bored but couldnt because he’s chiaotzu

[@aminadabbrulle8252]

@@solgerWhyIsThereAnAtItLooksBad No? He died multiple times trying to be a good guy Chiaotzu, and then decided to switch to villainy in hopes of, you know, not dying this time. Pretty normal cycle for a human trapped in a time loop.

[@AtariDad]

He survived Buu's Genocide Attack only to cower in the corner until he ultimately was killed by Kid Buu blowing up the Earth.

[@LeRoiEnJaune]

Which makes Sparking Zero's What-Ifs surprisingly intriguing, because Chiaotzu gets one of the bigger increases to usefulness. Krillin gets a slight boost, as he proves instrumental in defeating Radditz and Vegeta, but was already pretty useful. Tien gets a slight downgrade, since his late-Android feats don't occur, but he's a present, relevant fighter through Frieza Saga. Yamcha gets the same boost as Tien, which does a little more in his case since his biggest feats post-Saiyan arc are not dying immediately to a Cell Jr and hyping up Krillin to lil' Marron. (Not much, but at least it helps reinforce that, at heart, Yamcha's a friendly guy who just shows some occasional unearned bravado for the sake of keeping spirits up.)

[@trustmeits610pm2]

I like the "What-If" scenario in Sparking Zero where Goku saves Yamcha from the Saibaman. Goku VA's "WATCH OUT, YAMCHA!" and Yamcha's heartfelt "You're a life saver, Goku!" was such a true bro moment. I wish the quality of the game's campaign was better but it definitely showed the friendship Goku has with these other fighters forgotten by the writers as the series progressed. What-If Goku was weaker than Canon Goku because he never learned the Kaioken or the Spirit Bomb, but his presence and leadership earlier on kept the other fighters alive. So they take on Vegeta as a group. Seeing Yamcha and everyone else give Vegeta 'The Carebear Stare' with all their moves was pretty epic.

Yes having a word from a character that got the word from his mother so automatically less likely to admit to her being wrong.

I believe her though... if it wasn't true, I think Yamcha would have been alot more outspoken about the whole thing. Yamcha cheated on Bulma and Bulma's comeuppance is she immediately starts a relationship with the guy who was partially responsible for his death. If we don't take Trunks'/Bulma's word, it becomes a very malicious story. I understand liking Yamcha, but people are constantly re-writing stories and looking for puzzles where there are none.

yamcha was basically the main character of the first arc. goku wasn't a figured out character to toriyama yet so he was a pretty passive comedic character like most in the pilaf saga while yamcha played more of a traditional hero role ironically and he was the first character to ever save goku's life bulma's at the same time so it's not like you have to stretch that much to say he's useful just read the first arc.

[@MogusMasterSaikawa22]

also I don't think yamcha cheating on bulma if that is canon is why vegeta gets with bulma she probably would have anyway since the only thing backing up yamcha being a cheater is trunks saying so but bulma said she missed her chance with goku and talks as if yamcha is still with her when she says that so I think it would have happened anyway.

[@CSwizzleDizzle]

I would argue that Bulma's actually closer to the main character in the first arc, because she's usually the one that gets the gang into the situations and occasionally escalating them due to her selfishness and gung ho attitude. Though I think it would be more accurate to say that the first arc had an ensemble cast, except for maybe Puar. As for Yamcha cheating, I don't really care if it's canon or not, it seems pretty out of character for Yamcha to cheat, given nothing ever indicates it and Bulma has been shown to be overreactive, be in the manga or the anime filler. Not sure why people say it's a joke either since it's never treated like a punchline in the manga, unless you count Yamcha misunderstanding Goku by thinking he was saying Bulma and him should get married.

So I mostly agree with you. EXCEPT: Chiaotzu only wins because you treat Kibito as a composite with Shin. Kibito on his own is far more useless than Chiaotzu. At least Chiaotzu tried to help, and provided inspiration/anger for the others. Kibito was not only around far less, he didn't try to help. Rather his arrogance and ignorance was an actual hinderance as long as he was around. He objected to everything, failed to recognize what was happening, and delayed things with his complaints. So while Shin and thus Kibitokai was not worthless, Kibito himself was far more useless than Chiaotzu.

[@Mysticshade59]

Even if kibito is treated differently, he is still more useful than chiaotzu: - He was the one who healed Shin when he was on the verge of death. Essentially saving his life. - He heals and teleports gohan to the realm of kais so he could train and fight majin buu. Even if the list is small, that's still 2 more contributions than chiaotzu's.

About the Yamcha Cheating thing 2:15: It’s interesting because this is likely something that Akira simply overlooked, since Trunks had to play a special role and had to be Vegeta’s son, if only to further develop Vegeta’s character. With the sudden introduction of a son, Vegeta had more room to grow, and without having to change his hair to blonde. But now it’s supposedly Yamcha who cheated - the guy with a somewhat perverted streak, sure, but who also has a big romantic side. He’s someone who only has eyes for one woman, whether in the past or even now. As soon as he was with Bulma, he didn’t care about anyone else. When Goku left and told Bulma to give birth to a healthy baby, Yamcha stood there, proud and ready to finally marry Bulma. He’s definitely not the type to just cheat like that. Sure, they had their arguments now and then. But it’s often implied that Bulma tends to overreact. And speaking of Bulma, she’s more the type who would “explore her options” - she was even willing to grab Goku’s “balls” for a Dragon Ball back in the day. She never truly supported Yamcha. Even at the first tournament, she seemed more excited about Jackie Chun than Yamcha just because of the cool name. She idolized General Blue, wondered why she hadn’t ended up with Goku, and back in the classic episodes, struggled with the idea that Yamcha was admired by other women simply because he was good-looking. He hadn’t done anything, yet she was completely jealous and wanted to cut him off just because other women were into him. He didn’t do anything wrong, but she was “jealous as hell.” And now he’s suddenly supposed to be the bad guy? Sure, Bulma is set up as the “good” one here - she can even forgive a mass murderer just like that, despite indirectly causing her ex-boyfriend’s death. But of course, she’s not the villain; Yamcha is the cheater, and … well, we don’t really need him in the series anymore. Bulma is the only available female character, so Vegeta has to settle for her. She’s the only one who can keep him in check, and he’s the only one who can put up with her moods. But still, it all feels very strange. The voice actors at the time were really baffled and even upset by this turn of events. Yamcha’s voice actor actually wanted to leave the studio because he thought it was ridiculous to suddenly make Yamcha out to be such a jerk. It’s much easier to imagine that Bulma was the one who cheated with Vegeta and that Yamcha took the blame because he was such an over-the-top simp and hopeless romantic. After all, Vegeta is a prince, and that would make Bulma a princess. And we only get this information from Trunks, who probably heard it from Bulma. She certainly wouldn’t tell him she cheated with Vegeta; of course, she’d paint Yamcha as the bad guy. It makes sense in a way.

[@tiablue9106]

[@zatodoge9369]

Personally, I hate the "Ron the Death Eater" treatment Yamcha got because of it. Bulma and Yamcha are clearly still friends for the rest of the manga, Bulma doesn't even bring up any supposed cheating after the 3-year training period. Toriyama even confirms in an interview last decade that Yamcha still has gynophobia (It's so bad that he was fired from his job as a bouncer. Poor dolt). So, given Bulma's tendency to overexaggerate things and Yamcha's history, they could've easily broken up over a misunderstanding (which is honestly pretty funny). Sadly, some people take this shit way too seriously and always feel the need to bring it up when talking about Yamcha's character. I notice shippers tend to be very serious about it, often leading to him getting mischaracterized as a serial cheater.

[@Seiibaa]

Ever since original Dragon Ball, Bulma has been jealous of Yamcha's popularity with other girls. Even though there's never been any actual indication of him flirting/cheating with anyone else, Bulma still accused him of it and constantly attacked him for it. It's probably the same thing here where she saw him in some kind of situation and thought the worst and ended things with him for it. And not that I'm defending cheating, but even if he did, it would make sense considering how badly Bulma treated him a lot of the time, though it doesn't really make sense for his character to really do that anyway.

I'm of two minds with that scene: on one hand, it is Toriyama's way to explain to the audience (and Goku, of course) that is why Bulma ends up with Vegeta and why Trunks even exist. So from viewpoint, it is the canon reason and that Yamcha did cheat. On the other hand, from an in-universe perspective where Bulma's track record of being overreactive, I'm willing to think Trunks is just repeating what his mom likely would've said. Not only that, but it makes little sense for Yamcha as a character to cheat on Bulma. He's gotten cocky during fights, sure, but that wouldn't equate to cheating. Even the Japanese voice actors for Yamcha and Bulma (and I think Vegeta too?) expressed how little it made sense when that first got brought up.

@@CSwizzleDizzle We actually do get to see their break-up in the OG DB manga. Long story short, Goku, Bulma and Yamcha went to an amusement park. In there a RR army mook accosted Yamcha, however, from Bulma's point of view, it looked like they were kissing. Yamcha tried to explain this but Bulma wouldn't listen.

@@toumabyakuya That's not in the manga though. That was anime filler where the Red Ribbon hired a thief named Hasky and her cronies.

[@toumabyakuya]

@@CSwizzleDizzle Really? Then I suppose it was a good filler, then.

7:46 not only that, but he also saved Vegeta by carrying him away from the spirit bomb's range, not even the dragoballs could have resurrected him if he died while being already dead.

[@johnsong661]

I thought the dragon brought him back to life with all the other people that died in the last few days?

[@Jasonred79squeek]

Johnsong is right, but goku was holding back from throwing the Bomb for some reason

ngl with each passing character I was more and more confident it’s gonna be Chiaotzu and when he reached the supreme kai there was no turning back Chiaotzu literally did nothing the whole show besides existing and being bad at math
