Dragon Ball Z Cosplay Recreates Yamcha’s Lowest Moment

Yamcha might not be able to transform into a Super Saiyan or access the power of Ultra Instinct, but the Z-Fighter has found a fanbase thanks to some big moments in the shonen franchise. Despite eventually returning from the grave, Yamcha’s death might be the most remembered moment of the former desert bandit’s career. In some ingenious cosplay, one Dragon Ball Z format took the opportunity to bring Yamcha’s death scene to the real world thanks to some spot-on cosplay.

As mentioned earlier, Yamcha might have died during Dragon Ball Z’s Saiyan Saga, but he was resurrected following the defeat of Frieza on the Planet Namek. Most recently, Yamcha almost got married in the side story known as Super Dragon Ball Heroes, as he met an alien fighter that immediately fell in love with the one-time bandit. In the main continuity, Yamcha was able to finally return to the battlefield thanks to the Moro Arc. During this recent arc, which has yet to make its way to any anime adaptation, Moro was headed to the Earth with a bevy of henchmen that were looking to aid in the sorcerer’s endeavors. Since the underlings weren’t as powerful as their leader, Yamcha was able to fight some of the enemies, giving fans a scene they might not have seen coming.

Yamcha RIP

Unfortunately, Yamcha and the other human heroes in the Z-Fighter roster haven’t been able to keep up with the likes of Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and Piccolo. Perhaps now that the universe is threatened by a stronger Frieza and his new transformation, Black Frieza, the human brawlers might find themselves stepping up. Here’s hoping that despite what happens in the anime’s future, Yamcha doesn’t find himself recreating his Saiyan Saga fate.

Later this fall, Yamcha will return to the small screen thanks to Dragon Ball Daima. Much like his fellow Z-Fighters, the desert bandit will look quite different from how he once had, as Yamcha will also be transformed into a child. As Goku will travel the galaxy to uncover the conspiracy, it will be interesting to see how much screen time the other anime fighters receive.
