It was a comment on a DLC character in a video game that has characters from all eras of Dragon Ball.

Truly Dragonball Z has never had goofy villains before, such as an energetic evil sentai force or a pink bubblegum genie who likes candy.

Mostly, but the last season of Dragonball is actually the first season of Dragonball Z in tone. Z starts when Goku grows up.

You say about a series where a major character won a fight because halfway through he realized he's drawn without a nose so his opponent's gimmick stops working.

There are plenty of jokes in both languages. "Yamcha is a joke" isn't an exclusively English joke. I mean his first move he teaches you is Play Dead which gives you the Yamcha Pose. There's an entire mission arc where the joke is "Yamcha becomes the strongest, how can this be?!"

Like yeah, TFS makes fun of Yamcha but you only have to look at the sequence in Super where Yamcha is utterly convinced they're going to try recruiting him for the tournament and tries to play it cool while everyone ignores him to get that isn't a joke exclusive to TFS.

The fact that the only fight Yamcha ever wins is either when his opponent is near dead from hunger, Goku, while also being a child

Or due to comedy

Should tell you everything you need to know.

Like seriously imagine if Krillin NEVER won a fight that wasn't because of poo poo like "Forgot he had a nose"

Or if he didn't put up a really goddamn good fight against both Goku and Piccolo

I think Yamcha KO'd kid Chichi with a sneak attack at one point?

It wasn't a sneak attack. She was trying to straight up murder him with her helmet. It's kinda funny how Toei really tried to make Krillin the butt of all the jokes in Z movies but the manga would just embarrass Yamcha harder.

yamcha was too irrelevant to be the butt of the jokes in the z movies

tho I think piccolo has been clowned on almost as much as krillin in the movies since he was required to take a bullet for gohan at least once per movie for a while

I didn't say anything terrible, only that people want to see women fighting in Dragonball ("can't wait for Pan" etc.), but Toriyama prefers to draw Spopovich vs.Videl, Toei adds filler where Gohan throws his mother off a roof, and Android 18 is motivated entirely by money and sexual desire for a white knight.

Hopefully Broly (female) has a little more 21st century characterisation. Wouldn't bet on it, though.

I think next episode is Piccolo, since technically they still haven't asked him to join on camera. My guess is one for Big Green, one for Roshi, and two for "Wait, who else is there?" leading to Tien joining. If Vegeta isn't already on board from Beerus telling him he has to fight, it'll be interesting to see if Goku has to tell him the universe is at stake or if Goku appeals to his Saiyan Pride.

In my head the last scene of Super is Goku asking Vegeta to a friendly fight that the credits play over and leave unresolved. Because the fighting never ends in DBZ-land.
