Ok, so first of all, I want to say that I am a fan of Yamcha.
I love Yamcha in Dragon Ball and I love the Dragon Garow Lee manga side story about Yamcha,
so I don't want it to feel the wrath from many Yamcha fans, alright? Cause I like Yamcha too, don't get me wrong.
This video's gonna be about
Toriyama's official statements on Yamcha's future as a bachelor
POST-relationship with Bulma, which unfortunately does not turn out to be the best life for hopeless romantic people.
So, it's implied in Dragon Ball that the reason why Bulma wound up breaking up with Yamcha is because
he was not loyal to her. Now,
it's not stated that he actually cheated or anything like that,
but, she pretty much says that he was a bit of a Playboy and
as a result of that, she moved on and wound up hooking up with Vegeta,
and they have got married and they had children and well, you know what happened.
So, when it comes to Yamcha, Toriyama does give some insight in the
Kanzenban Guidebook "Dragon Ball Forever", where he is asked if
Yamcha was able to find a girlfriend,
talking about the bad luck
he had with women, and Toriyama replies back by saying "He'll always be like that. (laughs)". Now,
this was not the end. Toriyama, many years later, during the height for Battle of Gods in
2013, was asked more questions about the fate of Yamcha and other characters.
Kendo Kobayashi, from Fuji TV, asked for what the ultimate fate of Yamcha is and
Toriyama responded with this, and I quote:
"Like you, (Ken Koba) he has dilemma of loving women, but not being good around them,
so he's still wandering blindly in search of the ideal partner he won't be nervous around." Now,
I find that funny that he's sitting there and he's burying Ken Koba saying "Well, you love women,
but you're not good around them publicly." Toriyama is a great, great troll.
Anyways,
He's saying that Yamcha is still nervous, which somewhat contradicts Yamcha being a playboy, because if he's a playboy,
why would he be nervous around women? Again, this is a weird story, but nonetheless
Toriyama continues by saying he's worked in a host club,
but because of his nervousness, it didn't go well and he was fired. Now,
this is some very interesting information about what happened to yamcha after the Dragon Ball manga,
or at least during the time of Battle of Gods, shortly before that. Now if you're wondering what a host club or a
hostess club is, this is something that is part of the night entertainment,
the nightlife of Eastern Asian countries.
So basically, you have a club that has a lot of women dressed in very provocative outfits,
serving drinks to men, usually after they get off of work. In Japan, these are called "kyabakura" (キャバクラ) or
"kyabare" (キャバレー), like a cabaret. That's pretty much what it is. Now, these aren't exactly strip clubs from my research,
they don't get naked or anything,
but, I'm sure that those are definitely out there,
but, I don't think Toriyama was implying that Yamcha worked in one of those. Now,
moving on, he goes on to say his livelihood is mainly working together with Puar as a freelance bodyguard.
So Yamcha became a bodyguard,
but he occasionally goes to Tenshinhan's to help with the farm as well.
So...that is the follow up story.
That is the fate of Yamcha. Will Yamcha ever get a girlfriend after Bulma?
That remains to be seen. But hopefully, for the Yamcha fans out there,
Toriyama will write something in the future of Dragon Ball where Yamcha ends up being happy. That's it for this very unusual
Quickie that I never thought I would do, but I feel like it's fun to share
this information: the fate Yamcha. But you know what, at least he's the guy who took Bulma's virginity.
I...I assume...And don't forget, Bulma took Vegeta's when he was in his 30s.
That's interesting. Anyways, that's the end of this very weird video. I'll talk to y'all soon. But hey I had fun.
