Who is your favorite jobber? Did they ever get a moment of glory or did they stay a chump or a joke?

A jobber is wrestling slang for a guy who's allegedly a badass but loses fights, generally to make the other guy look good.

Krillin did it better

You actually cared when he got punked

At least with some of the fights it comes down to other people besides Goku, like the Vegeta fight.

>>78224216
What I liked about Krillin was that he always went in even knowing he was going to get squashed. But scared as he was, he felt he had to help his idiot best friend's idiot kid not die or to buy time for Goku to get there or whatever.

Yamcha on the other hand always went in talking about how he was going to end it quickly, no sweat.

When was this? I don't recall any time he did anything other than get killed by Tamborine.

And wasn't it Bulma and Master Roshi who helped Yamcha win that one fight?
>>
>>78224537

So he's literally Piccolo.
>>
>>78222109
The best thing about Yamcha is that he's still like the 3rd or 4th strongest human on the entire planet.

He's already AT LEAST stronger than Recoome who was MUCH stronger than Vegeta during his first visit to earth.

Vegeta during that time was a PLANET buster.

Yamcha has the unfortunate fate of being human in a series where that race doesn't mean shit other than beeing breeding factories for other saiyan.

Put Yamcha in almost any other Anime and he's the strongest character on the show by far. It's not his fault that in his universe he has to play jester to literal gods.

Krillian's plan, using those two.

He managed to use comic book physics to get Yamcha a win. Probably the only real one he's had since that time a hungry Goku jobbed to him. Proof that Krillian is a tactical geinus, or at least was in Dragon Ball, when comedy was a viable power
>>
>>78224800
No, that was anime filler, it never happened.

That aside, it's fucking stupid anyways.
Yamcha, Tien and whatnot become stronger then the Ginyu Force after training on King Kai's planet for less time than Goku did? Bullshit.

And why was the Ginyu Force even there? They were Frieza's chief executive murderers.

So in wrestling there is always a group of guys that are supposed to make the top guys look strong. These guys usually do not win matches often and are employed basically to lose matches. Their job is to lose matches. So when they go into a match that they are going to lose they say they are doing the job. Hence the term jobbers.

Krillin was still fairly useful in Dragonball Z for a human character.

He was arguably the smartest fighter in the show and always used his cunning to pull shit off despite being outmatched.

>>78224586

Krillin did a lot of useful and effective stuff in Dragonball. He helped Yamcha win in the Fortuneteller Baba Saga, he beat Chiaotzu, he stood up to Tambourine.

And in Dragonball Z, he used Goku's spirit bomb for him, held off any and all bad guys until Goku or Vegeta were charged up enough to fuck them up and held up better than any other human character.

Krillin 100% best boy.
>>
>>78222505
It'd be stupid if you thought he was a jobber; since to be a jobber you need to be built up, and then you need to lose to establish a some new guy or something.

People never really get this or why Neji doesn't apply, but its simple, the guy never seriously lost outside of fighting Naruto.

The only thing about him is that he became fully irrelevant, but he's never lost to really establish some guy in a serious way. He was noted to be a badass, and then a few chapters later he just faded away, despite being a badass.

He's fought like three guys ever, and won against all except Naruto.

I'm not saying he's better/stronger but Tien ended up looking like a stone cold badass in the Buu saga, dancing around Buus genocide lasers or whatever it was called, and having a solid 20 seconds of being useful by deflecting an attack.

Krillan's a great jobber and the entire Frieza Saga and Nappa/Vegeta fights proves it. He stuck around long enough to fuck up Vegeta's back and had Krillan not gone to Namek things would have ended much differently because Gohan sure as hell wasn't reliable in a fight.

But he always fought really strong people. First he fights Master Roshi whom goes on to win the tournament and then he fights Tien(in a very entertaining battle) and he ends up winning the tournament(said what you will about how the fight ended, he was very nearly Goku's equal)

The worst part is that Toriyama can't decide on whether he's a cheater or if he's still scared of girls. One of which is never shown, only implied(by Bulma's word, who is known to be the jealous type. Even her own mom pointed out she was just jealous Yamcha got attention from other girls), and the other stops being a plotpoint after the first arc. So simultaneously he can't commit while also being a 50 year old man who gets fired from host clubs for being too shy around girls.

I've had a sort of idea for a Dragon ball slice of life story with Krillin and Yamcha. basically with most of their friends focussed on training while they retired and are living relatively normal life. They talk about how weird it is to attempt a regular life considering all their weird circumstances(being dead for a while, traveling to another planet space, etc), and the strange feeling of drifting apart from some of their closest friends, especially Goku(with Krillin feeling somewhat hurt that due to his nature Goku spends more time with Vegeta, and seems to be closer to him that Krillin ever was). And of course, more down to earth problems like Krillin being somewhat envious of Yamcha's freewheeling lifestyle and Yamcha regretting his inability to commit and take life seriously when he sees Krillin's happy family life.

I dunno. Those people who are always "I just know we're gonna lose!" are usually fucking downers in real life. Yamcha has an alpha attitude and that's all that matters. That's why Vegeta's having his sloppy seconds and he's probably off fucking some hotter broad

>>78233447
Not too sure, I do think they have at least some Asgard powers/artifacts or somesuch. Probably should check to sure and precise.

Not sure if that would make them on Thor's level, though.

Honestly he's probably better off. Bulma was absolutely horrible to him most of the time, to the point where everyone from Bulma's mother to Oolong commented about how cruel she is.

Why is this bad exactly? Gohan never wanted to be his dad, despite Toriyama trying to push the series in that direction. He was meant to study, get good grades, and get a good job, unlike his dead beat retard of a dad. So he did, and consequently due to lack of training he's not as strong as he once was.

He's not being shat on for jobbing sake, he literally has an in story reason as to why he's not as strong as he used to be.

I thought their strength was in the Class 20-50 range - decent bricks but not exactly what I would call Thor level.

I do recall Wrecker's crowbar had some mystical enchantments that at least pushed Wrecker a little up the charts. And IIRC the crowbar absorbed the power of the entire team and placed it back into Wrecker (and Thunderball, another time) which *did* push the x4-powered user up into Thor's strength class.

Individually, they are cannon fodder.

an earlier handbook listed him at 40 tons, or 10 tons when his power is split between the wrecking crew. dunno if that holds true now, i kinda suspect writers forgot about the power division bit and they're each class 40-50 bricks now.

>>78236131
That's the problem when you have every character on the team be a badass warrior-type. There usually aren't enough villains for each of them to get a fight scene with, so one or more of the good guys is going to do essentially nothing. Same problem as Dragon Ball Z.
>>
>>78224935
To be fair if you do include Filler, then you have to recognize Yamcha as having an incredibly high power level due to his fight in the otherworld tournament training.

If I recall..

Goku at that time is evenly matched to Pikkon, an incredibly powerful warrior.
Pikkon destroys Perfect Cell, Frieza and King Cold without a moment of effort.
Pikkon is evenly matched against Olibu, but manages to beat him in a tough fight.
Yamcha utterly trounces Olibu without effort, and another otherworld figher Gorilla, at the same time.

Thus, Yamcha manages to beat an opponent with zero effort, who would be a challenge for Pikkon, who beat Cell, Frieza and Cold with zero effort. Any other Non-Saiyan able to match this level of power?

To be fair, it made sense as a fight. Compare his fight with Shirou to his fight with Rider.

Shirou:
-Unlimited Blade Works completely negates Gate of Babylon.
-Gil fought with no armor
-Gil went easy on him for nearly the entire fight
-Gil never drew Ea until it was too late.
-Result: Shirou still only wins because Archer and the Grail intervenes.

Rider:
-Wear armor
-Go all out immediatly
-Use Ea
-Enkidu and Ea are perfect counters for Iskandar's divinity and Ionioi Hetairoi

Considering all of their adventures and time spent training and fighting, it would be nice if Tien, Krillin, Yamcha and Chiaotzu could actually take out a serious threat using teamwork, instead of stalling until the nearest Saiyan arrives.

Not animation even, but the Rival in the Pokemon games, specifically Blue. You could never progress without beating him and that means cannonically, you never lose once to him.

I think this is the exact moment the whole thing goes to shit. Coupled with Naruto literally getting his shit kicked in by Neji for an entire fight and then beating him in one single punch. So disappointing the writer stuck to the bullshit Shonen tropes.

You didn't miss much. You think this is bad? Eventually all of the Rookie 9 other than Naruto were turned to shit. Lee and everyone else drops off the face of the Earth (hope you like Sasuke).

Sasuke Retrieval was the last hurrah for almost all of the cast. Kishi focused on the three most irritating characters.
>>
>>78242348
Hercule is, excluding those trained in Ki, cyborgs, or monsters, legit the best fighter on the planet.
>>
>>78242348
By all accounts, Hercule's skill at mundane martial arts is at worst decent and at best excellent. Most powerlevel listings have him in the 100-200 range. Also, keep in mind, the dude got his fame by winning the World Martial Arts Tournament, which you don't do by being a weakling. The few times we do see him fight other martial artists, he more than holds his own.

The problem is that he's outclassed by pretty much any ki user, alien, cyborg, monster, or god, which comprises almost the entire cast.

Tien was probably the best character in DB, and he got fucked over so badly.

>Gets a lot of focus in his training, and is shown to work the hardest
>Pioneers some of the most used techniques
>Gets to finally fight Tao, the man who abused him, and shows how much Tien has grown

Now cut to DBZ
>No focus at all
>Launch is gone
>Dies easily and is unimportant for all of Saiyan and Frieza Sagas
>Does one good thing in Cell and goes back into the background
>Has one moment in Buu that basically becomes worthless

Naruto is a gateway anime of the worst kind. It's a bad series, a clusterfuck of story and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive shipping faggotry and DARKNESS. The normal anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.

However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The superpowered characters all trying their hardest to look cool, the jutsus, peculiar, colorful clothes, the whole ninja faggotry and everything about the Naruto world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the pity-party character backgrounds, emphasis on revenge, and overall preachiness of the series make it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up.

Naruto is basically THE series to attract the most hated anime fanbase known to /a/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this show and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Naruto threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here.

But why, is the question? If Gohan doesn't want to fight and he's too strong to be used, why not just keep him off to the side and only have him fight when he's gotten pushed to the brink and then open a can of whoopass? Wasn't the whole point of the Mystic powerup that he didn't need to train anymore and this was him at his absolute peak due to magic?

As is, all it does is set him up to do the "oh no Gohan hasn't trained and isn't the strongest anymore, now he has to train again" plotline that the series already friggin' did in the Buu saga. You could argue that Gohan losing his power makes sense, but either way, it's still goddamn sloppy writing and it offers only something we've seen before but not as good.
