Dragon Ball has always been about a bunch of super powerful dudes, with one glaring exception: Yamcha. The wannabe playboy has been a laughingstock among fans since the show’s earliest days, with his frequent losses and deaths the stuff of memes. But upcoming fighting game Dragon Ball FighterZ looks to redeem Yamcha once and for all, based on new gameplay footage.

The trailer above shows Yamcha pulverizing Tien Shinhan, another member of Goku’s crew who’s generally known to be way more powerful than Yamcha could ever dream of being. It’s ... kind of an unbelievable sight, as both the Bandai Namco Twitter account and its followers acknowledged.

Bandai Namco Entertainment is further drumming up support with its Team Yamcha hashtag.

Wow! Lord Yamcha is so powerful, he took on a full blast from a Saibaman and then just had a nap! He is the best! #TeamYamcha https://t.co/r0joby8oZ3 — Bandai Namco US (@BandaiNamcoUS) September 22, 2017

Excellent! Even the Saibamen are happy for Lord Yamcha's glorious return! #TeamYamcha https://t.co/dDrSzyJKMh — Bandai Namco US (@BandaiNamcoUS) September 25, 2017

Maybe the poor dude will be vindicated when Dragon Ball FighterZ launches next year and everyone finds themselves on the losing side of a fight against Yamcha. At the very least, here’s hoping the game’s story mode spares him from death for once.
