Thoughts going through my mind that I wanna get out. I havent fully constructed the post, but its about Yamcha & him regaining his fighting spirit. Here's the quick version...

He lost his fighting spirit and became depressed during the Cell saga due to breaking up with Bulma when he wanted to marry her then found out she had a child with the enemy, almost dying in a brutal way, looking after Goku who almost died only for Goku to end up sacrificing himself in the end, being brutally beaten up alongside his friend by the Cell Jrs to the point of almost dying again. Then he was trying to fix mistakes made in the Buu Saga (Vegeta's mistakes mainly) and he ended up dying to Buu.

So it makes sense (imo) why he didn't show up to fight Freeza. He was still recovering from PTSD he had. But during the Tournament of Power Saga, he was ready to fight again. He regained his fighting spirit. But I dont like how they handled him not being chosen as a team member. It was meant as a comedic misunderstanding that left us wanting more from Yamcha since he wanted to join. I do believe there was a scene of him finding out the universe was at stake and he felt maybe it was best he didn't join. I could be wrong. Gotta check another time. But that just shows he was nervous. Krillin was the same and the others too but they hid their nervousness better.

But Yamcha had a background journey in DBS. I just hate that DBS is so focused on Goku & Vegeta. Because there are little character arcs like this sprinkled throughout DBS. But at least there is something. And I'm glad Yamcha had his character arc and came out of his depression.

Now we just need a romance plot for Yamcha. And I got the perfect gal...

(Also the baseball episode probably helped boost Yamcha's self confidence while having fun playing the game. But the "comedy" was at the expense of Yamcha. Didn't like that.)
