One of the most famous in jokes in the Dragon Ball community, even gaining enough steam to become a joke reflected in the series, is Yamcha and his famous early death during the Saiyan saga.

The joke has gained so much traction, even a large restaurant chain like Arby's made fun of him.

Arby's, which usually posts many cardboard recreations of famous anime and video game scenes, shared this Yamcha cardboard art in honor of Dragon Ball FighterZ. This joke is in reference to Yamcha's death in the Saiyan arc.

In the Saiyan arc, Nappa toys with the Z Warriors by growing Saibamen, little green aliens that emerge from the ground like plants, and uses them to fight in his stead. The first to challenge these aliens is Yamcha, and after a (hilariously) too close fight with the Saibaman, it latches onto him and kamikazes in order to take out Yamcha. Thus, resulting in the famous image of Yamcha in a crater.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is currently available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

There is also currently a new Dragon Ball film in the works for 2018. The film will focus on the Saiyans, the "origins of Goku's power," and potentially the story of the very first Super Saiyan God. Not only does it aim to be the best film in the series, original creator Akira Toriyama will be contributing to the film's script and new character designs.

Dragon Ball Super airs on Crunchyroll Saturday evenings at 7:15 p.m. CST. Adult Swim airs the English dub during its Toonami block Saturday evenings at 9:30 p.m, and is now available to stream on FunimationNOW and Amazon Video.

If you want to catch up with the English dub, the first 39 episodes of Dragon Ball Super are now available to stream on FunimationNOW, Crunchyroll's VRV service, and available to purchase on Amazon Video. The 39 episodes span the full range of what has aired in the North America and covers the "Battle of Gods" arc, "Revival of F" arc, and the most recently ended "Universe 6" arc.

Funimation has previously announced the rest of the series will soon be available on the service as well. Releasing in 13 episode batches two weeks after the last episode airs on Cartoon Network, fans of Dragon Ball Super's English dub without a cable connection will soon have a way to experience the series.
