This. Jobbing has never meant losing to someone weaker.

It's always been about showing how strong some new threat it by having someone who is known to be strong get destroyed by them. Showing off Kenpachi as being some unbeatable monster, constantly hyping up how he's beyond everyone else, as well as revealing his bankai just to have quincy Thor man easily beat him is what jobbing looks like.

There is a shit ton of people that don't know what jobbing mean. Jobbing doesn't mean loosing. It means loosing to make someone else look strong.
The best case of jobbing ever is Mecha Freiza. Mother fucking Freiza comes back from the dead with ENHANCED abilities when he was the fucking shit, and then proceed to get SLAUGHTERED by Trunks.
This just made Trunks look incredibly powerful, and it hyped us for what to come.

That's literally the definition of Vegeta. He always jobs hard as fuck to hype up Goku coming in to destroy the opponent.

It happened multiple times in the Freeza saga, it happened in the Android/Cell saga, it happened in the Buu saga and it happened with Hit. It happens even more if you count the movies.

Vegeta is the eternal jobber.

>Brought in and initially beats Goku kind of.

>Loses to the mummy so that Goku can show how strong he is by beating him

>Dies to a saibamen as a means to set the grim tone for the saiyan saga
>Gets impaled by Gero to establish their Ki absorbing powers

Yamcha's character embodies Jobbing to a T, but he does it so frequently it just makes him look weak rather than his opponents look strong.

Goku only had two fights in that saga and lost both of them. Vegeta actually kicked more ass than anyone that saga and was literally only beaten because of his own hubris.

Even Buu saga is questionable because, while Vegeta couldn't beat Buu, neither could Goku. He literally wasted all of his Ki just trying to match him in strength.

He does Job, but WAY less than someone like Yamcha.

Read. My fucking post FAGGOT. litterally the 3rd line is the part where Goku brings up how Yamcha is "The strongest guy I know" and The first encounter with him is him BEATING GOKU.

He started on a high note and then became the guy everyone beat to prove how strong they were. It just backfired because that's all he ever did.

That felt like really severe backpedaling.
Falco lost after fighting fairly evenly with Kenshiro, then as soon as kenshiro catches up to him,some mook on Asura's wasted him, making it seem like the island's full of bad-asses.
But the next chapter, excuses are made for Falco's loss, and Ken does something that lets him make up for his loss and kill the tosser, so the Asurans don't seem so tough after all.

Despite all that, I'll admit I didn't mind it that much
>>
>>142045182
>is "The strongest guy I know"
Real impressive until you remember that Goku is a guy that lived far from civilization until the start of the series, so he doesn't know that many people you idiot.

>BEATING GOKU.
It was a tie retard and even then Goku was hungry.

>became the guy everyone beat to prove how strong they were.

No he didn't Yamcha loses all the time, beating him doesn't hype you up to be strong at all. Hence he's not a fucking jobber retard..

>Job=/=Lose

>>142040134
Wait. Doesn't that mean anyone can be called a jobber? I always though the key trait to the whole "losing to hype the opponent" was that it was a recurring trait. Like Yamcha is a jobber and Kakuzu jobbed to Naruto but isn't necessarily a jobber?

Jobber: "strong" character loses to hype opponent
Jobbing: Character that should win or do better loses or performs terribly to hype opponent
>>
>>142045512
Not him, but to fair, the intent of events like Yamcha getting insta killed by a Saibaman does seem to nothing else but to show how strong they are. The fact it doesn't have the intended effect because we already consider Yamcha a joke is a different matter.
>>
>>142045705
To job: losing to hype the opponent.
Jobber: someone who jobs frequently.

I don't understand what your problem is.
>>
>>142045512
That's what Yamcha was SUPPOSED to do. He just did it so frequently that it lost effect and made it seem like Yamcha was weak. Keep in mind throughout the series Yamcha usually went up against the strongest guy first.
>Goku
>Jackie Chun
>Tenshinhan
The only exceptions are Mummy, Saibaman Dr.Gero and Shen and even Shen was basically god while Dr. Gero was the strongest until Toriyama had to make more androids because the editor didn't like them.
>>
>>142045772
>not a statement about whether the win was deserved or who's actually stronger or weaker.

But it kinda is? My issue was that "to job" means you are underperforming, acting weaker for the sake of plot, giving an undeserved win; otherwise, you can say any character that lost jobbed.
>>
>>142046143
There are plenty of other reasons for someone losing than to show how strong the winner is. The loser may put up an unexpectedly good performance or the winner could win through cheating and that's pretty much the opposite of jobbing.

You said:

I was disagreeing with this. To job means simply to lose in order to hype up the opponent. I was disagreeing specifically with the last part:
>otherwise, you can say any character that lost jobbed
because there are plenty of ways of losing that don't hype up the winner, like you yourself agree.

>>142044976
Kind of? Most fights boil down to having a strong character fight the new opponent and lose thus establishing that the new threat is above the current power levels. Then people go learn new techniques and fight losing again to the second form of the new threat. Then finally after third form has been reached we get the climactic fight which in some way directly involves Goku and either a spirit bomb or enhance Kamehameha.

And mook fights are like that too. The Ginyu's show up after Vegeta has gotten strong enough to beat Freiza's henchmen and then Recomb proceeds to demolish the group until Goku shows up showing just how much more powerful he's become.

16 states that he's as strong as form 1 cell and proceeds to lose against form 2 cell in a heartbeat. This is after Piccolo/nail/kami loses to form 1 cell who has absorbed many towns.

Buu arc is the same cycle. DBZ is literally the poster child of jobbing if we use the definition in the thread (not the tv tropes one). I've been saying this for years though.

All this talk about jobbing makes me want to read a battle series. What are some good ones?

God, what is it with shonenshit anime/manga always having the other protagonists besides MC getting their asses kicked?
At least in One Piece there are lots of mooks and "miniboss" bad guys so the other good guys besides Luffy can beat them up and look cool.

Fucking Dragonball, having all the good guys "gang up" on one or a few really strong antagonists only to get their asses beat until Goku gets his turn.

Let's be fair. Shikamaru was fighting Hidan, and he beat him alone. Kakuza was just taking on the rest of the team and Kakashi.

Goku gets his ass kicked too. He lost against Cell, and in the end couldn't beat Buu with his SSJ3 either, and use the genkidama that resolves arounds other people giving him strengh.
