I always thought a little subtle detail in the series was that Vegeta actually really respected Tien. it wasnt obvious but he never really gave Tien sh*t like he did with the other humans (apart from that one time he called him a loser when they were waiting for mecha freeza). But think about it Vegeta is a true warrior who can relate to Tien because he's also a warrior and unlike the other humans Tienshinhan never stopped training. Even when the other humans gave up because the power gaps got ridiculous, Tien always kept training trying to improve and get stronger. He knew he would never catch Goku ever again but he kept going because he wanted to be the best he could he. I think Vegeta really respected that.

Out of all the cast in Dragon ball, I have always loved Yamcha, Tien, Piccolo and Vegeta. They all were very strong, stoic and developed characters in their own right, even Gohan got the "Saiyan irrelevance" over time. I agree, they're rolemodels. Of all the Earthlings, even with Krillin included, they are the strongest and stood up to impossible odds. IIRC as you put in the Power levels video in the android saga; Tien knew he couldn't compare to Cell, perfect, semi-perfect or not. Yet he still managed to push his body beyond boundaries to Ki-ko-ho him straight into a massive crater. Not to mention, Power levels and Ki are only good so much as a baseline for matchups. Ain't dissagreeing with the numbers, but as the whole Ginyu bodyswapping shit was, power is only as good as the knowledge to use it. It still hurts knowing the power creep in the series. SO many good characters lost cause they're just not 'powerful' enough anymore. At least Tien Shinhan got a dojo to carry on his skills. And Yamcha's martial artisty is not to scoff at, hell I loved seeing him in be a great rush-down fighter in Fighter Z

One thing I have to disagree with in the video is the idea of "pathetic human growth potential". In my reading of Dragonball (when I watched/read it ) humans had a much higher growth potential than the Saiyans did. Evident by the fact that any training Goku did, he came out so powerful that everyone was in awe...when the human characters did the same training, they wound up two to three times stronger than Goku. Of course by then, Goku was already on to the next big power up, so it wasn't regarded as much. And then came the broken Super Saiyan transformations... I believe the human characters could still be relevant in the story, even if they follow the "power level is everything" rule. Without even needing to add any new fan-wank BS, the tools are present in Dragonball that the human characters could have Super Saiyan level powers if someone would just ask 'what if this character learned this technique, or went through that training regimen'? Too bad we're passed this. For the writers and the majority of fans, it's "pure-blood Saiyans or GTFO". Edit- and for Yamucha specifically, when did he become known as a 'womanizer'? From what I saw, Bulma was the one with the wandering eye. Before we even get to Vegeta, you can just ask Zarbon and General Blue.

At that stage of the series Moros henchmen are easily as strong as kid Buu or any of the Buu forms, thus Yamcha them are ridiculously strong at this point, I believe Yamcha to be above all except Piccolo and the Saiyans, mainly bcuz he trained with Gohan and Piccolo to prepare for Moros invasion. Nobody else trained wit them, and he went toe to toe with Zayougi although he was going to lose in the end he didn't take an official loss and added 3 solid wins to his record against 3 of Moros henchmen. So technically in super he 3-0 and even after the fight against Zayougi he only took 1 good Crack as far as the comic showed, and he wasn't exhausted or limping around hurt, he was still in fighting condition. Yamcha will have bigger roles in being a protector of earth along with Piccolo Krillin Tien and Roshi I am sure, but I am sure he will be more of a leader of the Earths protectors down the road ,while Goku and Vegeta will be resorted more to being protectors of the universe due to their God strength.

Tien is one of my favorite characters in all of fiction, dude never backs down no matter the circumstance and his English voice actor gives some of the best performances in DB

"You can't exactly recon the 3rd eye" I died laughing at this lol

I don’t get why tien didn’t get to learn kaioken, he already uses moves that bring him to the brink of (if not) death.

Tien held off Semi-Perfect Cell with JUST the Tri-beam, hes just that guy yknow.

By far the best dragon ball youtuber. I love the fact that you talk about underdogs characters such as Piccolo, Yamcha and Tien.

Hey guys do you also think that Tien's character should have a mini arc in which he discovers his alien origins (the third eye and multiarm technique) and gets a power up in terms of not just power levels, but in specialized techniques, story and character development. Pherhaps he could get some powers similiar to Asura from Arura's wrath or something of the sort. Would have been a cool arc to see imo.

The first time i ever was introduced to the world of Dragon Ball was trough the og manga. I think it was manga 29 that was my first experience with DB. Yamcha was my very first favorite character and that hasn't changed since then. He shares the #1 fav spot with Vegito in my book. 😀

Thank you for honoring these 2 with such respect & dignity, Scholar-sensei! You're always worth the watch! 🙏😌

this is the best dbz video i've seen in a while, awesome man

I fuckin love Yamcha and respect Tien. They really deserved to be good rivals, pushing each other to their limits, learning new techniques and ways to fight without all that Super Saiyan strength.

I wish Yamcha got converted to an cyborg/human. I think he would have wrecked 17 and 18 since he was a real fighter PRIOR to having the process. He had so much to give us and the writing just never got on board.

Toriyama had little respect for Yamcha to begin with. He lost all his tournament fights in the quarter finals. At least he managed to lose the first two times with grace, but the way God thrashed him was pure comedy with Yamcha as the butt. He was a mostly comedic character even before that - think of his chronic shyness and wanting to wish for a girlfriend from the Dragon Balls.... Yet despite that (or maybe because of it), he's still my favorite character!

While I agree w/ your first point about Toriyama having little respect for Yamcha, I have to question the rest of your argument. For one, you make it sound as if it's a negative that God beat him in the 23rd tournament. The guy was only the 3rd strongest character in the entire series at that point. Plus, Yamcha did catch him off guard & nail him in the jaw with a Sokidan, forcing the guy to get serious. And two, why do so many fans use the "he was mostly comedic" argument as justification for him to be shat on? Plenty of characters in the series were comedic (Goku's ignorance of not knowing the difference between boys & girls or thinking marriage was a type of food. Roshi being the typical perverted old man), yet they still managed to be strong as well. In fact, we've seen it in other series as well (Might Guy/Rock Lee in Naruto, Kazuma Kuwabara in Yu Yu Hakusho), the list goes on. So someone being a comedic character is no excuse to justify them being poorly written or incapable of becoming strong.

I got into DB when I was 18, and Tien/Yamcha/ Piccolo motivated me to workout. I've lost 140 pounds now, but training is something I do everyday because of these gigachads. Btw that Yamcha manga from a few years back made me hard.

You mentioned Yamcha beating Reccome, but you didn;t mention splitting his power with the multiform, THEN beating Jeice and Burder with little difficulty. That means that his clones were each like 1.5x their power. So he was easily 3x as strong as the ginyu force, some of the strongest in the galaxy.

Same goes for Yamcha beating Olibu, although you can somewhat rationalise that if you want to pretend Yamcha was training non-stop for the last 7 years, although that's very unlikely.

Epic video, Yamcha and Tienshinhan for all of that and so much more!!!

I was hoping Yamcha and Tien would have their moment fighting the Frieza soldiers. When he was left out of the ToP I thought for sure they would have a mini arc in between showing Yamcha defend Earth. Lots of missed opportunities.

Basically Yamcha saved Krillin of the saibaman. Krillin said he was going to fight first but Yamcha stepped up and said he was already revived with the dragon balls and if something went wrong he was not coming back again. So if Yamcha never said that, I guess Krillin would have probably died to that saibaman the same way as Yamcha did.

exactly. The saibamen's level of power in the self destruct would have killed them or severely wounded piccolo. Plus, Yamcha even volunteered to go first fighting the saibamen and testing their power for his friends to see how strong they are, and told krillin that he didn't have the option of coming back to life at the time with the dragon balls if he died once more.

Great video

Everything in this video was speaking facts. Tien is one of my favorite characters and Yamcha deserves better. Both of them will always be one of the most beloved and respected characters in The Dragon Ball Franchise. No matter what the haters say.

I'd like to see a story ark were Tien & Yamcha Finally fuse Is either it's a fan manga or an actual manga or the actual series of dragon ball super Tiencha is my favorite fusion Tien and yamcha are very Is important characters Dodonhamaha or spirt ball tricannon wolf fang vollyballfist.

Love your videos! I also love them as Characters!

7:04 that is another good point to remember at that point in DBZ during Frieza saga Recoome who destroyed Vegeta, Krillian and Gohan. Lost to Yamcha quickly and the fact that Tien and the other took out the rest with ease when Vegeta had trouble with them.

Trunks to krillin in DBZ abridged: At this point, you'd probably be unstoppable. Krillin: I know right?!

Yamcha was only cool during og dragon ball. Tien is one of my favorites and was stronger than Goku once. He should be more relevant than krillin. Dbz needs better writing that utilizes all their characters more like yuyu Hakusho. They all took turns fighting and each character was still relevant in the end.

Man, I this is a fantastic compilation, Tenshinhan is my favorite character for all the reasons listed, he has determination, honor, courage, and his physique is literally PEAK. He's stood up and put his life on the line against Cell, Buu, AND Beerus with no hesitation, he knows he isn't on the level of most of his other allies but he joins in anyways to lend support, that's inspiring. Shame Ten has no past or future, he could have had more depth with Launch and explore his brotherly bond more with Chiaotzu, its insane how movie henchmen have more backstory and lore than the main humans of DB. Ten just trains and gets crapped on at every turn, to make Roshi and Gohan look good, Roshi beating him was absolutely ridiculous, especially since he passed the torch to him and beyond after beating Roshi, that secret training crap was such an asspull. And Gohan and Krillin barely train, yet can manage to outshine Tenshinhan, all because Gohan has BS Saiyan genes and Krillin is the best friend of the main character, Krillin even stole Ten's move, the former has barely earned any of his power and fighting skill, within two training sessions with Piccolo, suddenly Gohan becomes a beast again. In the end, the poor treatment of Ten is plain as day, he's even been forgetten in group shots before. Also I still think is bull how he never tried any of his varies techniques against Nappa. As for Yamcha, I always enjoyed the character, plenty of bad and dumb things happen to him which earned his reputation as a joke, his character has been assassinated despite having REAL potential. It also bugged me how people justify hating him just because he lost a fight, a fight turned meme that would garner even MERCHANDISE of his iconic death pose. The writers in Super definitely embrace the meme too much, the characters all sorta have this "Ha...Ha...That's our Yamcha!" attitude, when they never treated him like that before. His side plot in the TOP was just sad, unfunny, and didn't pay off, on top of living in a shitty apartment with cracks on the walls. Yamcha has been flanderized as a cowardly womanizing sufer dude with false bravado. That's the fandom view of him, despite him being an extremely great friend, supporter and teammate, he took Krillin's place to battle the Saibaman out of concern since Krillin already died once. Shame his dynamic with Krillin is outshine by Goke and Krillin's. Atleast we saw more of it in FighterZ. People just don't acknowledge any good qualities about the characters and its unfortunate that he is untapped potential, he was a badass, cool bandit with a cool signature move, cat sidekick, and a code of ethnics and noble aspirations like wanting to get married under his own power and not being into Chi Chi. His character treats as the plucky everyman and marriage schtick got passed onto Krillin.

Ten-shin-han is one of my favorite characters of the franchise. His fight with goku in the finals of the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai was amazing, and had lots of surprising character growth that really feels missed in modern dragon ball.

I think Yamcha in the android saga was as strong as Goku before going to namek, because androids mistook him as Goku, and they had information about Goku before he went to namek.

Its weird Dragon Ball as a whole never tried exploring Tien's Tricyclops heritage. I'd also love to see him and the human Z fighters train on Yardrat in Super like how Vegeta did in the manga, to become stronger and unlock more of their hidden potential. Tien, Chiaotzu, Yamcha and Krillin deserve way more respect than they get and I hope they get a redemption arc like how Piccolo and Gohan did in the latest DBS movie.

Could've done without the sappy fanfic at the end but still looking forward to the next time you make a new video about these two

Amazing video, thank you so much for giving these two legends the spotlight they've so dearly deserved. So if I might ask, was there ever anything more to Yamcha's Spirit Ball than just being akin to a remote-controlled ki blast? It was one of the most interesting ki techniques in the entire series to me, and one that could have easily been refined much more and better than just "bigger and boomier". Like if he practiced creating it with greater speed and ease, or refined his control over it, such as only needing to use his fingertips to manipulate it, which could also free up his own mobility. Then from there he could work on doing something like using two simultaneously--one controlled by each hand. Imagine an on-the-go Yamcha flanked by two Spirit Balls, perhaps even using them to set up Wolf Fang Fist strikes to devastating effect. The similarities to the Spirit Bomb also make me really curious about what more it might or could have had to it. Maybe Yamcha, for all his penchant for creative techniques like the Wolf Fang Fist, somehow managed to come close to creating something related to, or exactly the same as, King Kai's Spirit Bomb entirely on his own. (And if I'm forgetting something because it's been *so damn long ago* I'm very sorry for my ignorance.) I'm guessing part of the reason you didn't go into it in depth is due to a lack of material on it, which I can understand. It's also entirely likely that I'm giving it a little too much hype. At least you gave Tiencha props, because hell yes I wish that would become canon someday. Thank you, Budokai 2. Also damn, just realized how much Tien looks like a jacked-up Saitama. Though I like the idea that Saitama is another universe's version of Tien.

Yamcha has like a black wolf form or something like that in xenoverse 2, and he's a pain to go against.

Yamcha genuinely deserves some kind of redemption arc, he should have been a part of the ToP, rather than just further humiliate him with the baseball episode, any way you split it, he's still one of the top 10 strongest earthlings, and he never backed down or ran away from a battle, even the ones where he knew he had no chance, like against the androids. I mean, he battered Recoome in the afterlife

Yamcha is the poster boy of getting disrespected since day one. Poor guy

Yammychammy is my anchor in DBFZ. Used to be my main but I like him as Anchor now. If someone gets through my point and mid, Yammy comin out to slap.
