Yamcha's Abilities
Though Yamcha is a skilled swordsman[33][34][35] he is an exceptional martial artist.[36] His signature technique is the Rogafūfūken, literally "Wolf Fang Wind Fist" (Wolf Fang Fist in the English dub), a quick flurry of punches and kicks.[37] Yamcha uses the technique often during the Dragon Ball anime, though by Dragon Ball Z, he appears to have discarded its use. He has the ability to perform the Kamehameha, a concentrated beam of a chi energy blast that many other characters in the series have the ability to perform as well.[38] Yamcha also uses the Sôkidan, literally "Manipulated Energy Bullet" (Spirit Ball in the English dub), a technique that forms a ball of chi energy to assault an opponent with. He can fully control the ball, allowing it to home in on enemies and to go underground for a surprise attack.[39] He also possesses superhuman strength, speed and reflexes. Unable to keep the pace with the rest of the Z warriors, Yamucha retired from fighting twice; the first time to play professional baseball after the first death of Son Goku, and the second time after his near-death experience fighting against androids #19 and #20. In spite of this, Yamucha is arguably one of the strongest human beings alive.
Like other characters in the series, Yamcha has the ability of flight, which he uses many times throughout the story.
Yamcha's Appearance
Yamcha's appearance stays relatively the same for the majority of the series, although his clothes and hairstyle are changed several times.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Many of Yamcha's hairstyles are also used by Son Gohan at various points in his life.[10][15][14] During the Android Saga, Android #19's scanner reads that Yamcha is 183 centimeters tall and weighs 68 kilograms.[16] Yamcha is shown to be a baseball player in the anime filler material for Dragon Ball Z. This was suggested by Toriyama.[17] The first kanji Yamcha has on his clothes "樂" stands for "happy" or "music". After training with Master Roshi, he takes the turtle kanji "亀" as a sign of respect.[18] Later, after training with King Kai, he wears both "Kame" and "Kaio" kanji. He wears them the opposite way Goku did, "Kame" on the back, "Kaio" on the chest, except in Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might where he wears the "Kaio" kanji on the back and "Kame" on the chest.[19]
