Yamcha’s death pose is one of Dragon Ball’s—and anime’s—most famous failure meme. Now, you too can recreate it in Japan.
At J-World Tokyo, a great place for cosplay photos, there is now a Yamcha photo spot.

Bah humbug. He never”died”. He died in the same way that one of the heroes or heroes’ sidekicks “die” in a Disney movie. When instant resurrection is available on a moment’s notice, then death is meaningless. Also see the term ‘defeated’ in Pokemon and Final Fantasy.
